NOW SHOWING
The Twilight saga, which really exploded and made a very huge and remarkable impact to the whole world was born on the 12th of November 2008. This film gave us a very unique view and thoughts of how vampires really live differently according to Ms. Meyer's perspective. It entails of a strong, impossible, unbreakable, passionate, unconditional and forbidden love of a mortal and a vampire. Edward Cullen, known for his mysterious kind and a no- doubt dazzling image, fell in love so deeply to a the simple and hot teenager named Isabella Swan. Besides his strangeness, the guy holds a dark secret which no one could ever tell, not until this girl pushed herself onto Edward. And now, the seemingly immortal, strong and blood- sucking vampire just can't resist the feeling of craving and longing towards the girl, until he can't live without her anymore. He had to manage the unmanageable. He had to deal with the uncontrollable. He had to be so attached into the feeling. He had to fall into the temptation which gives him the uncontrollable frenzy that he can't stand. He had to have it... the longing, the craving, the desire, the addiction.
And it's never of blood- lust nor blood- thirst. It's her, his very sole reason that makes him want for more.
Indeed, love is a feeling that can’t be controlled. It’s something that will just pull you back to the person you treasure the most, next thing you’ll notice? You’re around her again. If not, she’s always there circling in your mind, just won’t leave your thoughts. It’s like a strong magnetic pull, like gravity that leaves you crushed on the ground. Something you would always choose to grasp above anything else. Coz it’s what keeps you living; what makes you stronger than you’ve ever thought in your entire life.
It’s addictive.. Literally, I say..
But is love far more similar than drugs? More like Edward did used a metaphor to show how he is into Bella. I wonder how much is Edward’s addiction to Bella’s scent as he try to fill the girl with his sweet words and used heroin as his mean of comparison. Why heroin? I wonder how many heroin it takes to define the guy’s love for the girl.. Such strong and boundless love... How does that drug works anyway? I wanna know how it really affects one.
The abused drug can be administered through inhalation, ingestion and intravenously and is diluted with other materials before injection.
Half life: 6-8 min
Metabolizing rapidly, heroin is detected based on morphineusage. Immunoassays are done so as to detect heroin for rapid screening of samples. Detection through EIA is as sensitive as thin- layer chromatography and gas chromatography and the data gathered cannot be used as conclusive evidence but must be followed by confirmatory testing.
And this test is the Gas Chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. This is the most specific and sensitive method to detemine heroin levels or presence. All derivatives can be easily identified and quantitated through this method. Urine is the usual sample of choice where both parent drug and metabolites can be detected.
There is no expected value for morphine in determining its exact amount.
Now, for its effects on the body...
It generally gives a feeling of extreme well- being. Physical activity and perception of the psychological state is decreased and is markedly reduced. Sex drives diminish and other aggressive tendencies. The state of mind is tranquil and relaxed for several hours where the person experiences daydreams.
Upon withdrawal attempts, these may be seen: Tremors, Muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. (really painful, yet rarely fatal)
Clinical Significance:
- · Upon administration using injection, contracting Hepatitis and AIDS is of major concern.
- · Constant damage of veins
- · Spontaneous abortions and stillbirths for pregnant women
- · Babies also become addicted to the drug requiring them to have withdrawal, some die because of cardiac stress.
Other quoted lines from the vampire:
"I can’t take the risk of being away from you"
"I’ll do whatever it takes to make you safe again"
Now we have our certified addicted vampire....
Yet time fades, he too needed to refrain, to escape, to pause, to think, to step back, to stay away... to STOP...... Yes, he experienced even more painful withdrawal symptoms of being away from her; felt like he almost died (like what... a million times?).. the immortal alas felt the agony, the pain of death without her. Each day was never the same.. He had to face the empty and sad times, needed to be felt invisibly, needed to be forgotten... It’s truly his most regretful choice..... yet somehow..
He did this for a better reason....
TO PROTECT THE ONE HE IS SO ADDICTED TO..HIS DRUG... HIS HEROIN..The ONE HE LOVE
And you can do the same thing.. It’s just a matter of choice right? That is, if you also have that same “better reason”... If you even love yourself.
Here is a video of how the test is done
