Fifty shades of Grey

Fifty shades of Grey or better known as “mummy porn”. First published as en e-book, it has outstripped both JK Rowling’s boy wizard and Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code by selling 550,000 copies quicker than any other paperback. source
I love how the author took this whole exploration of sexuality thing and set it to the back drop of a major life milestone. I enjoyed how Ana’s friends and family all commented on how she was changing.

My favorite part of the book is the email dialogue between the characters; it was the highlight of the book for me. It’s where the real honesty of the story lies but I don’t know if I would recommend this for my friends or others? Maybe:). The book is categorized as erotica by publisher but not descriptive enough for erotica. I think this is a good proving ground but if you like it then you may be ready two move on to a more intense read.

Who has read it? Feel free to share your reviews.:)

Oh yes! Christian Grey you blow my mind! you stretched half of its limit and you are the reason why I lost my phone....lol...Yes for real..I lost my phone and all my contacts! crap! so I bought a new one...double crap!
 
 
So here are some of the random snapshots I took using my new blackberry phone. Maximizing the functionality and bringing my SLR every day is one holly moses! bulky and the weight!
So enjoy your weekend and don't forget to share your review with Mr. Christian Grey:)

    I have read them and I have to say I thought it was poorly written!

    I do agree that the topic of sexuality and sex was really intriguing but I wouldn't read them again.

    I have friends who've read the series. I'm still not sure if I will purchase a copy, though. I shudder to think of the Little One accidentally picking it up and asking me to read it to her. Hehehe! =)

    Know what, when Twilight came out, I hated it. Because my ex adored Edward Cullen and Taylor Lautner's abs.

    I perceived this as a sign of my ex being unsatisfied with my character and physique.

    I hated to death Twilight and Stephanie Meyer. But that's over now. Wala na kasi kami.

    And now we have Christian Grey. So i guess, to be a great lover I should keep handcuffs, a whip, and a ball and chain? Is that really romantic stuff? Hahaha!

    kahit ako yata mabibigla sa ganon.

    Anyway, I'll read this book, to learn something from Mr. Grey. Now, all i have to do is dig a big hole in our back yard to make a dungeon.

Happy Halloween

 Halloween here in the Philippines is not like the Halloween in the Western countries. Although it’s a big holiday (comparable to Christmas here), we celebrate it in a different manner. Halloween in the Philippines lasts from the eve of October 31 (or even before this day) to November 2. Due to our strong Catholic background, Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 are spent remembering our dead loved ones and these dates will usually find most of us in one place only: the cemetery or the memorial park. We don’t celebrate it with pumpkins or trick-or-treats (although this Western tradition is sometimes practiced in some families / subdivisions here). We celebrate it through candles, flowers, prayers and a visit to the cemetery. You might think we have a very boring Halloween here. I mean, cemeteries, graves, prayers, etc. make it look like a serious affair. Not so. Spending Halloween in the cemeteries is a fun event. It’s like a mini-reunion for families and friends alike, a chance to have fellowship with

Starbucks Planner 2012- time to ingest gallons of caffeine!

I don’t have a problem with caffeine. I have a problem without caffeine…oh yes! I’m a self confessed coffee-holic. Last year, I suffered from gastritis due to over consumption of coffee but it didn’t stop me, my blood type is coffee and caffeine isn’t a drug, it’s a vitamin.:) So I switched to decaffeinated coffee (decaf). This coffee has less caffeine or 97% of its caffeine has been removed. It works with me. I no longer suffer from inflammation… goodbye antacids. I must admit that I love Starbucks,  (aaminin ko to, na-eenjoy ko talaga yung kape ng Starbucks bakit ba…social climber..OO ako na..hahaha.) so I often spend my rest day at WalterMart Makati Starbucks with a good book. Since it’s the nearest branch at di msyado maraming otaw…di magulo. Apart from their coffee, I’m a big fun of the yearly planner. Not for me but for my sister.  She has been receiving this gift from me for 3 years in a row na. sosyal at katapos back to 3 in 1 brown coffee na ulit...lol So by tomorrow, C
