And succeeded at it!

I had to give blogging an abrupt break for some time because I went on a mission. Well, it was actually more of a challenge because it was something that I never tried doing before.

You should steer clear of me. I'm not the man for you.
I don't do the girlfriend thing.
I'm not a hearts and flowers kind of guy.
I don't make love.
This is all I know.

Reading this just made me in a way, sad. There are just some people willing to fall and give everything to someone just because they've got the body and the features that's way different from others. To give more than they knew they could just because they're hoping that they're part of the plan and that probably, one day, things will do change, too.

Even if they knew it will take forever for that to be. They'd still be willing to give it all just because.

Just because.

I'm just halfway through. I know there will be more that I'll know.

I got to catch up with reading this Independence Day holiday and for today, I am immersing on a seemingly controversial book by E L James called Fifty Shades of Grey.

I had been hearing a lot about this book for weeks. From a radio station to blogs. I was hoping to kill this bug named curiosity so I checked out National Bookstore hoping to get a copy two weeks ago but then, they were already out of stock, and they had the other two books as Ffity Shades is actually a trilogy.

Now, why'd I say this book is seemingly controversial? Let a bit from Wikipedia tell you why:

Fifty Shades of Grey is a 2011 erotic fiction novel by British author E. L. James. Set largely in Seattle, it is the first installment in a trilogy that traces the deepening relationship between a college graduate, Anastasia Steele, and a young business magnate, Christian Grey. It is notable for its explicitly erotic scenes featuring elements of BDSM.

At first, I had doubts about purchasing and reading the book given the keywords erotic fiction and BDSM -- which are well, a taboo topic for a lot of people even to this day and age. A lot of people and even blogs refer to the book as "mom porn" as the demographics of its readers are married females in their 30's; I'm only 27 and not even married so how come I am reading this, right? But for the sake of literature, I'll set aside being conservative and modest as I read through the book -- at least until I finish reading the three books.

While I was starting to lose hope about finally getting a copy, Fleur of Mommy Fleur said she was also reading an E-book version and as luck would have it, she was that kind to send me a copy of not just one but THREE books! Yes. I have the trilogy in my laptop and I have started reading Fifty Shades of Grey last night. A big thank you Fleur! :-)

I have not yet to reach the titillating chapters given that I am just in Chapter 6. But this early, there are times I'd be left agape-mouthed in surprise and disbelief over what I was reading.

I'm starting to picture out Christian Grey's facial features based on how the book describes him -- and I'd be honest, it's Ian Somerhalder that comes to my mind. I think he's a good choice for the role once the book gets to be adapted to film next year.
