Third DH

Our family went to Diamond Hotel last Saturday, July 28. Had the buffet for dinner. Had to stay in an executive suite for the night. And it's our third time this year! Horah!

Get ready, because this blog post will surely make your eyes full. In short, this will be a photoblog, wherein photos will dominate and there will be less words.

Let the photos speak for themselves.

Those photos were from Nikon D7000. Now from my instagram.

Didn't get to use the pool because it was drizzling and no one is allowed to use it. Too bad. But anyway, there's always next time! And we get to do it again for the fourth time this year! I just don't when that would be.

Thank you Ninong Bin! We've always loved Diamond Hotel. <3

We aim to please, Mr. Grey.

WARNING: If you're not old enough, do not continue reading. Thank you very much. 


Finished reading the very controversial Fifty Shades of Grey last Sunday. Was it a yay or a nay? Let's find out.

There was a time on twitter when all I see on my timeline are people busy reading Fifty Shades of Grey. And I was all, "What's Fifty Shades of Grey?" So I hit Google and typed in the intriguing Fifty Shades of Grey. Found out that it was actually a book. Didn't even bother looking for a summary of what it's all about. One day, I read Saab Magalona's review about this book. And that made me go for it, to read it. Right after finishing The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, I immediately started reading Fifty Shades of Grey. I only have the ebook version though. Still thinking if I should buy the trilogy set.

I was caught up on every chapter making me want to continue reading chapter after chapter. There were times when I really want to sleep already but the book keeps on giving me the hanging ending that makes me want to continue reading.

Basically, simula palang ng chapter one, this Christian Grey sounds very yummy already. Haha. In the first few chapters, I keep on tweeting about the book.

And so I keep on tweeting about it as I read the book.

But as I go on, I don't tweet that much na. Sa umpisa lang talaga. There were few, but not as much. :))

This will be my own summary of the book Fifty Shades of Grey:
A girl named Anastasia Steele stumbled upon Christian Grey, a CEO of the Grey Enterprises, for a school paper interview that was supposed to be done by her rommate-slash-friend Kate Kavanagh. Since the day she came into his office, she started having imaginations and second thoughts about Mr. Grey, even thought of liking him. Until one day, Mr. Grey showed up to where Ana is working, besides being a graduating lit student. From that day on, Ana and Christian were seeing each other and learned to know each other more, even Christian's fifty shades. They had a lot of sexual intercourse or in Mr. Grey's on words, fucking and not love making. But Christian  had a lot of firsts with Ana, and so does Ana. They were into something they called as BDSM, with Christian being the dominant and Ana as his submissive. As time goes by, Ana discovers that she's falling in love with Christian. But she knows deep down that Christian will not love her the way she wanted to be loved and that they are only together because of a contract. Will Ana get what she want, something more? Or will Christian stand firm as being the dominant?

I hope my summary helps. It's a bit short since most of the scenes in the book are pure fucking.

To tell you guys the truth, since most of the scenes are just Ana and Christian having sex, my mind keeps on saying, "Is this all it is? I mean, puro sex lang? Nakakasawa." There was even a time when I almost give up reading kasi grabe na talaga ang mga pangyayari. I don't know if I can handle too much. Pero no way, I had to finish it. There were a few scenes with Ana's friends and family and sorting out. The sorting out were Ana and Christian talking over the email and BlackBerry plus their argument about food and Mrs. Robinson.

Christian can be very sweet talaga pero I can't blame Ana if she keeps on having second thoughts about Christian's feelings towards her. Like when her friend Kate told her that with the way Christian looks at her, it looks like he's really in love with her, but Ana knows deep down why and it's because Christian has too because she is his sub. But there are some lines where Christian sounds so serious and looks really in love with Ana. I still doubt though. There is a contract.

Let me ask you, if you meet a good-looking-almost-perfect-billionaire-hot-but-very-mysterious guy like Christian Grey but wants only one thing from you, to be his submissive or in other words his sex slave under conditions, contract and no feelings included, will you go for it?

I don't wanna spoil you or anything, if haven't read the book yet, but I personally hate the ending. Like what the fuck? That's it? After all those times. That shit Grey.

To answer my question if is it a yay or a nay, I'll give it a yay plus a 5 stars rating. Yay! :)

I heard that the book's going to be a movie soon. I'm sure it'll be a hit. But rest assured it's just like porn. But whatever, I loved the book and there's no one stopping me from watching it.

I'm pretty excited about the roles of Christian Grey and Ana Steele. Who wouldn't anyway? I also heard that Matt Bomer's casting the role of Christian Grey and all I can say is, he's the perfect Christian Grey. Meet Matt Bomer <3

Look at those smoky gray eyes. Perfect!

See? So Christian Grey.

And yes, whoever is playing Ana Steele is so lucky! Look at him being so delicious!

Saw this one on instagram and I think that she can be the perfect Ana Steele. Remember, she's a brunette and has blue eyes! Imagine them as Mr. Grey and Ms. Steele. Perfect isn't it?

"We aim to please, Ms. Steele." -Christian Grey

Haven't started reading the second book yet but I'll begin as soon as I can find the perfect time since I've been very busy coping up with school lately.

I have a lot more to say but I gotta go! School tomorrow!


How did you find the book? Share your thoughts here! :)


Laters, baby.

#ThingsThatReallyTurnMeOn

I remember tweeting last night that I will blog my own #ThingsThatReallyTurnMeOn instead of tweeting them. So here yah gow!

1. Musically inclined.
Like, who wouldn't be? Music is the way to my heart <3

2. Sports inclined.
Besides music being the first, sports is the second way to my heart. My favorite sports will be volleyball, basketball and football.

3. Can play the drums.
Such a turn on! Most guys can play the guitar which is really common already kaya I prefer a guy who can play the drums.

4. Can dance or playfully dance.
If he can really dance well that's good but if you look cute or playful when you dance, that'll be fine. Don't care if you can sing or not, I cannot myself either.

5. Walks with his hands in his front pockets.
That. Looks. So. Hot. Without even putting too much effort in it.

6. Wears snap backs.
Especially the colorful or light neon ones.

7. Doesn't call other guys gay.
Just proves to himself that he himself is not gay.

8. Who reads.
Nothing beats a guy with a huge sense of humor.

9. Who has a thing for dogs.
I have a very soft spot for dogs. And if he's a dog lover, then he's definitely a keeper.

10. Close bond with his family and with God.
They way he treats his family will reflect on how he will treat me, so it all goes back to where he came from. Plus the faith he has for God. :)

I'm not describing Harry Styles here but he definitely is a perfect example of my kind-of-guy. He's obviously music inclined. He's also sports inclined since he plays football and is really good at it but currently he's really into playing golf. He can play a little drums, but this one's more of a Josh Devine inspired one. Trust me, Harry Styles can dance, he just denies it. His hands, always in his front pockets. He doesn't wear too much snap backs unlike Zayn and Niall but he always wear beanies which is cool. Calling other guys gay, I'm not sure bout this but I don't think he has called anyone gay for serious matters. He reads but not really novels. He doesn't even know what Hunger Games is all about for God's sake! Hahaha. He likes dogs but he prefers pussy. Oooooh. And yes, he stays close with his family even during their tour. :)

Are you my own Harry Styles? <3

Book: Anna and the French Kiss

If you want some kilig vibes, then this book is for you!
If you believe that Paris is the city of love, then this book is for you!
If someday you want to visit Paris, then this book is for you!
If you are into cheesy novels, then this book is for you!
If you want to get away from your reality for a while, then this book is for you!

I haven't been having the kilig vibes for so long so I decided to read this book by Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss. I can't remember where I learned about this book, maybe on twitter or Goodreads or somewhere else. But I am glad I had to read this book. :)

I was up all night last night finishing this book. I think I have 30 or less pages left till I finish it. Slept at around 2 in the morning eager to finish the book. Guess what, the book didn't let me down.

This is the kind of book that I have always been wanting to read. A little chic-lit with a twist of romance. Just a little bit of that spice and everything's fine!

So there's this girl named Anna who lives in Atlanta, Georgia whose father forced her to study in an American school in Paris. She's already in her senior year in high school and she's spending her last year as the new girl in school. She made friends with the seniors Meredith, Rashmi and St. Clair and junior Josh. She has fallen head over heels with the gorgeous-and-perfect-hair Etienne or famously known as St. Clair. But the thing is St. Clair is already tied with his long-time partner Ellie. Ever since day 1, St. Clair has laid his eyes on Anna already but was afraid to admit it to himself, to Ellie and to Anna. Etienne wants Anna but doesn't want to let go of Ellie yet. How will the story go? You have to find it out for yourself.

While I was reading the book, I was imagining Anna as Lily Collins while Etienne as Josh Devine. You just google who these people are if you want to know how they look like.

The book is so cheesy that you want to scream while reading! Hahaha. Trust me, I smile every once in a while while I was reading it. Etienne is so cute in everything he does. Anna is so effing clueless! I want to strangle her! Haha. Etienne is so into her but she does not notice it. Why why why! :))

This book does not focus only on their love story by the way. It has something to do with friendship and family problems too.

Anna and the French Kiss makes me crave for Paris even more! There were a lot of descriptions of the places and stuff you'll find only in Paris and I was imagining them all hoping that one day I get to see them with my two bare eyes. I really really want to go to Paris someday. I know it's every girl's dream.

So what are you waiting for, go read it too. It's worth the time. :)

Big time shopping

Can't remember the last time I went shopping for myself. It seemed that I always shopped for my shop but not for myself. It's about time I buy something for myself so I won't get left behind too.

Last weekend, almost everything is on sale! So I took advantage of it!

I spent like 1,200 pesos for books. And it felt like every peso didn't go to waste. 4 books from Fully Booked plus 3 books from Book Sale. Surprisingly I didn't get to visit National Bookstore which is really weird. Why didn't I really? But anyway, I'm so excited to read these books!

I bought a lot of clothes, accessories and shoes actually but I won't post photos of them. Some of you might think that I'm bragging or showing off the new stuff I bought. Instead here's just some of them. I'm not that fashionable but somehow I feel like leveling up my fashion sense. Horah!

And my first ever Jansport bag! Wohooo! Love it! It's so green! <3

I know it's too much but I know it's all worth it. This is a one time big time shopping spree for me. The next time that I will be able to do this again is maybe years from now. Plus I earned the money I spent! Worked my ass off to get that money and this is my reward. :)

What did  you get on last week's payday sale? Share yours too! :)
