A Not So Book Review: Fifty Shades Trilogy

Image
It was last week of June when I bought the boxed set of Fifty Shades. I kept on seeing updates on Twitter and Facebook about the book series so I decided to buy the set. But here's a funny story, I didn't even know what the series is all about when I bought it. I was actually choosing between two authors but I decided to go with the majority and chose Fifty Shades without researching about the book! All I knew then was everyone I know who's reading the book is inlove with Christian Grey! And every girl wants to be Ana! I can be such a bandwagon-er sometimes! Lol. So yeah, I bought the books but completely forgot about it weeks after the purchase.I actually just started reading it more than a month after I bought it.  Now let's start talking about the content of the books. I had high expectations before I started reading it, mainly because a lot of people are raving about it, telling the whole world how addicted they are to the book, how they all love Christian G

Meet My Date

Image
Just thirteen and look how tall she is! I'm the eldest and shortest among four siblings! My (not so) little Kiara is my constant date! And yesterday we had one of those dates again. The plan was early dinner and movie but we did not push through with the latter. After her school, she just rest a bit and then we headed to Robinsons Magnolia. I told her to change clothes but she obviously did not change. She has nothing to wear daw. Oh, female pains! Lol. Aside from being my constant date, she's also my photographer! HAHA! I love how cooperative she is! First time at YABU (Sing with me: ♫ Where have you been all my life, all my life ♫ HAHA) We were supposed to watch that Vice-Luis-Toni Movie but we are both not so interested with it so we decided just have early dinner and look around after. We had our early dinner at Yabu. Like what I said in the photo caption, it was both our first time to eat there. I KNOW RIGHT? Where have I been all my life? LOL So anyway, we

Reasons To Be Thankful

I am not the most religious person you'll meet. I miss hearing Sunday Mass sometimes and I don't read the Bible, but I can say that I have this personal relationship with God. I believe, respect and have fear in Him. I talk to him a lot. I ask forgiveness for my sins, I thank Him for all the blessings that I continuously receive and I ask Him for help and guidance in everything. My September was not that good, I was mostly stressed and depressed last month so I was hoping and praying that October would be different. And guess what, it's just the middle of October and a lot of good things has already happened. San Agustin Church - Intramuros  Almost two weeks ago, I was in Intramuros so I thought of dropping by San Agustin Church. My plan was just to say a little prayer but the mass was just about to start when I came in, so I decided to finish it instead. It was the first time, after such a long time, that I was able to say a prayer at that church. I felt really go

What's In My Make Up Bag Ver. 2

I always say that I am not into putting on make up because I don't know much about putting it on. But I'm trying, I need to! If I leave the house barefaced, people usually comment that I look pale. My Titas used to send me  make ups but they eventually stopped because I told them that I don't really use majority of the stuff that they were sending. I started using lipgloss in highschool. Then in college, I became addicted to lipglass. My make ups in college were just face powder, lipglass and lip & cheek tint! Then when I started working, I also started experimenting. I learned to use real blush ons and brushes and everything else. Although I always say that I am not into make up, it surprised me that I actually own a lot of them now. Even though my Titas aren't sending me anymore, I still have quite a lot. So let's staaart! This is where all the other make ups are. I don't bring this when I go out. It would be inconvenient if I would always bring th

I love coffee shops. I love coffee shops with good drinks and cakes, after all they're coffee shop right? Lol. But apart from the good coffee and pastries, what I love about coffee shops is the ambiance and the staff. And yeah, also the availability of power sockets and wifi. :)) When I was in college, I used to frequent Starbucks with my friends. It was kind of the automatic meeting place whenever we were meeting up, it became our to go to place when we had long breaks from school, most especially when they opened a branch at SM Manila. But you know, as much as I love Starbucks, I kind of don't like staying there. I mean, if I were to meet a friend for a chat over coffee, I would not pick Starbucks as the location. I looooove their coffee and their sandwiches, but it's just too crowded. I don't even understand how the heck some people get to study at Starbucks! Haha! So anyway, my point is, there's this (not so) new coffee shop in town that I love! It's

Robinson's Magnolia

I love going to malls! I don't always shop for clothes, bags or shoes when I'm at a mall because, well I don't have the means of doing so! Haha! I usually just do grocery shopping, book hunting and filling my tummy with my cravings. One of the reasons why I love our place is because the malls are very accessible from here. I live in Sampaloc, very near in U-belt, so everywhere seems like just a ride away. If I want to go to SM North Edsa or Trinoma, it's just an FX ride away. If I want to go Shang or Mega Mall, one FX ride away, too. SM San Lazaro is just a jeepney ride from here. Greenhills / Robinson's Galleria  are a bus ride away only. And just recently, Robinson's Magnolia opened. It's very accessible because I just need to ride the LRT and get off at Gilmore station. And from there, I can ride a jeepney or just walk to reach the newest mall in town! Yesterday, I finally went for a courtesy visit (LOL) at the newest mall! After the mass, my little

Beyond Blogs

I decided to bring this blog back to life. HOOORAAYYY!! I know I have been MIA for almost a year now, but I am going to make it up to you, my dear blog. Blogging is an important part of my life. During those times when I did not have anyone to talk to, blogging kept me company. I might not have updated this blog, but I was blogging somewhere out. It's not a blog that I would want other people to read, tho. It's more of like a real diary. Full of emotional outbursts, overly dramatic entries and such. So uh, yeah, you better not know the link to that blog. And the best way to, once again, jump start this blog? Of course, talk about the friends I made through blogging! I started blogging, 2005 but I got really hooked on blogspot in 2008. And through my PoshProbinsyana (yeahsureyoucanlaughatmyblogsname) blog, I've made so many online friends. I lost contact with some of those online friends already, but there's still a lot more whom I'm still connected to. And two
