50 Shades of Grey

THE BOOK


                                Alright, I read it. I did not hate it actually and by the time that you're reading this, I'm already at the 2nd book of E.L James' 50 Shades trilogy.  For a lady like me, it felt so overwhelming to read the 1st book. I praise the author for her imagination and on how she made the book a page turner despite of the erotic words and sex scenes she used in the story.

                At first, I was like intimidated by the plot of the story. When I was at the middle of it, I asked myself if I should continue reading this erotic novel. Honestly it makes me come as well. (Sorry for being too frank about my feelings!) I am already a grown up and I should be accustomed to stories like this. It’s part of humanity and reality. I even twitted if Christian Grey, the Dominant, really does exist. Is there really someone like him out there? Someone so sexy, hot, Greek-God-like type of man?! The novel is not just about SEX and F*CK, but it teach us to explore things unimaginable. Don't get me wrong it's a great insight into the life of a Dom-Sub relationship and at times I felt slightly embarrassed reading, but it's the story behind that which is most captivating. The love, the neglect, the hunger, the desire. Not only has this book extended the minds of most women who read it, but it has given me like others more confidence, more love and more drive. 


                So last week I succumbed to the hype that is the 50 Shades ofGrey Trilogy. I am a huge reader but I have never been one for erotic friction or 'mummy porn' as some are calling it, but after the first chapter I was hooked. A week after purchasing the first book, I can’t wait to finish the 2nd one and confident I will finish it before the weekend comes. 

            'Romantic, liberating and totally addictive. This is a novel that will obsess you, possess you and stay with you forever' - truer words have never been spoken. 


The MOVIE

So I heard that they will bring the books into the big screen. I was intrigued on who will play the infamous Christian Grey. I was actually rooting for Ryan Gosling but rumors that it will be Ian Somerhalder a.k.a Damon Salvatore of Vampire Diaries.  



What makes Ian be the perfect guy for the role? Here are the 5 reasons why! Source: http://www.buzzsugar.com

  1. He's got a swoon-worthy smolder. Anastasia is constantly talking about how beautiful Christian is, from his crooked smile to his perfect bod. Somerhalder's got prettiness in spades, but he also knows how to play it mysterious. If you need more convincing, check out his sexiest smolders.
  2. He's not afraid to show skin on the screen. Before Somerhalder hit it big on The Vampire Diaries, he was stripping down regularly for the HBO show Tell Me You Love Me. Though the series only lasted 10 episodes, it generated buzz for pushing the envelope with its racy sex scenes — an element you can bet we'll see in the big-screen version of Fifty Shades.
  3. There's a vampire connection. Fifty Shades started out as Twilight fan fiction, in that Christian and Anastasia are loosely based on Bella and Edward's personalities in Stephenie Meyer's saga. Though Damon is a far cry from Edward, they're both hot vampires lusting after good girls.
  4. Christian and Damon have a lot in common. Christian's basically the complex bad boy with a softer side, and the same can be said for Damon Salvatore. Somerhalder has mastered the art of playing hot and cold, and can also go from playful to mistrusting with a mere glance, which is exactly how quickly Christian's moods swing in the novel.
  5. He's not too mainstream. Somerhalder has die-hard fans as far as the eye can see, but he's not quite a major movie star, which makes him a wise choice for the role. Going with a household name like Ryan Gosling could be distracting to the audience, but Somerhalder is still a bit under the radar.


FUNNY STUFF

I also found some pictures and stuff online about 50 Shades of Grey. Even Selena Gomez got hooked on it as well. Does Justin know about that? :)




Ladies, if you haven't read these yet I highly recommend you do - you won't regret it. And please, let me know your thoughts if you have read them in the comments section, I'd love to know! :)

Laters, baby! :)

Mt. Talamitam: My Mother Mountain

Image
Sitting at the top of Mt. Talamitam last Feb. 2016 It was February this year when I finally said "yes" to my friend Toni's invitation to hike a mountain. After several invitations that I declined in the past, she was able to lure me in (and it's something that I did not regret!) I was actually scared as it is my first time to climb a mountain. Thoughts like "What will I do?", "Can I do it?", you know the usual "what if's" that you can think of when doing something you never did before. But all of these were gone when I started my journey with the mountains and then fell in love with it. :) With my friend, Toni. :) Mt. Talamitam is my "Mother Mountain". This is the term that mountaineers use to acknowledge the first mountain that they have climbed and reached the summit. Honestly, I joined the climb out or curiosity, to understand the enthusiasm that my other mountaineer friends have in climbing mount...

El Nido: A Paradise Part 2

Image
Welcome to our second day of Island tour in the beautiful place of El Nido in the heart of Palawan. :) We stayed there for 4D/3N but still those days were not enough to explore all the islands of El Nido. Maybe next time will book for 5 days. Our guide and boat operator at the first day told us that El Nido alone has 150 islands. I'm still verifying that information as of this writing.  An escape to paradise. :) I can say that this trip is the highlight of my 2013. Indeed it's MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES!!! :) The travel time is so worth it. We visited several islands/beaches that El Nido is very proud of. During our stay, we were able to visit these breathtaking sceneries. In our first tour we visited the Small and Big Lagoon, Shimizu Beach where we had our lunch, Secret lagoon and the 7 Commando Beach.  On our second day of island tour, we came to see the Cathedral Cave, Matinloc Shrine, Helicopter Island, Snake Island, Cudugnon Cave, Secret beach and Pangulasian ...
