DID DRACULA REEALLY EXIST?

In 1897, novelist, Bram stoker published the famous vampire novel-Dracula. However, it is believed that Dracula may have been baseed on a real life person, an evil man who lived in the 1400s and named dracula. He was keen to keep his free from crime, enemies and just about anyone he considered not to be an ideal citizen within his kingdom.Heence, when he beccame a ruler, he invited the poorest people and thosee with disease and disabilities to a largee banquet and told them they would be free of hunger and worries. Afterwards, dracula told his soldiers to set fire to the building killing all of them. Though he did not suck blood of his victims, he torutureed them, and was given another nickname: Vlad the impaler.
Dracula died while fighting in 1476, and his head was stuck to a pole and displayed for all to see. The rest of his body was buried at the monastery, but when acrhaeologist tried to dig it up in 1930s, the coffin was EMPTY!

Isn't this little cute story interesting? I read it from a book...
Well, my weekends were rather 'happening'..On saturday, i weent merlin house for project, then on sunday, i weent for piano and after which met up with wan jie to tidy up our project. Then all thanks to her that i manage to borrow a book which is so relavant to questions stuck in my mind for years. Like what does human flesh taste like and can a head live without a body etc. Ya, and wan jie claims its a book of rubbish. Well, i sort of agree with her as some parts of the book is really funny. Ya, and today is VESAK day..Another happening day for me, weent to visit temples..and one of which that i came across was simply so huge and beautiful...And i prayed for many many things... And i hope that Sichuan will be better each day. Many are dying each seecond and so on... reading n all this do cause a heartache to see many kids losing their parents and so on. The news are so demoralizing that i do feel pitiful for all of them, and thinking that i am really so fortunate to be free from all these....May god bless them and be with them.

I'm so lost without you...
