50 Shades Too Much

For the first time in my life, I finished a set of trilogy in 1 week, twice! It has become an addiction and I know I need to start distracting myself with other books. The second and third book is still on its way and I'm already done with them, not just once. My mind is always revolving around Christian Grey and wondering if such a person exist. Then again, I doubt I can deal with such a person in real life as I continue to live in my fantasy with weird affection for a fictional personality. It's about time I get started on some normal trash. As for now, I find myself yearning to drive the white R8.

Have you read it?

50 Shades of Rainbow

The first time Watziznehm spent 6 entire weeks in Dubai, it was novel and very quickly, I was planning a visit to this amazing city within the emirate. It was one of the best weeks I've spent away from home, second to my time in New York. Time became a decadance which I could afford and space was the feast my eye desperately longed for. As with every other holiday, it was way too short. It was so only because I had to return due to work commitments. The weather has since heated up and Dubai is right smack in their infamous summer. Of course, I have seen what I wanted to and there was no compelling reason for me to visit yet again.

This time around, it's been 4 solid weeks. My weekends were filled with sleepless nights of excessive mahjong and the seductive company of books. People around me have concluded that I'm addicted to the world of mummy-porn, 50 Shades of Grey... Yet with all the hype, my dinners were mostly spent alone (with my book of course and occasionally, there's the iPad). I never liked dinner alone because it reminds me painfully that I'm too far away from a warm hug and a comforting kiss on my forehead. I came to realise that it is with someone you love, your enjoyment for simple things is life is taken to a different height and easily multiplied. While I'm thinking that I will never land myself with a man like Christian Grey, I'm actually basking in excessive contentment. I have a good man who tolerates all my nonsense. Besides, I'm no Ana Steele.

Back to reality, I know in a a world where I take too much, things may crumble. I find myself being compensated with an abundance of patience and a generous portion of love. Life may not bring me to continents that I long to visit but it has already brought me to the land where life is.

I may grumble that my weekends of mahjong and my secret dates with some fictional character is coming to an end but I know reality isn't that harsh to jump back to. All I greedily need now is that stretch of the already lavish patience coupled with love and whose arms I will readily throw myself right into.

My lesson now is to come to realisation that my life is made of 50 shades of rainbow happiness.

Review: 50 Shades of Grey

In the past few weeks, I've been occupied with many good reads. Mainly, I embarked on the latest Sophie Kinsella's I've Got Your Number and I fell deeply in love with Sam Roxton. A charming and powerful man melted me beyond recognition but somehow, it didn't bring me to write a post-mortem analysis on it unlike my weird affection for Christian Grey.

This is the first book that got me bothered to find out what PNR actually means: ParaNormal Romance.

50 Shades of Grey...

Before I flipped open the first page, I was insistent that I was going to hate it because the storyline dealt with BDSM. But once I started, it was juggling the weekend full of activities and finding small pockets of time for the book and the result, sleepless Saturday night and finally, I'm done with the book. Now that I'm finished with the book, I can't wait for 50 Shades of Darker to arrive. But the disappointment when I went on BookDepository and all I saw was "Processing". Painful wait means I kept going back to reread the book because I was missing Christian Grey and I cannot deal with not-so-happy endings.

I must say the book could be better written. I hated over usage of some words and phrases and I don't see why Anastasia must have an issue with eating. Eat! And nothing much in the book said much about her intelligence except for her GPA score. I began to wonder who is the one with the problem, Grey or Steele?

Now, here's a wealthy, charming, good-looking, gentlemanly, caring, sensitive, understanding man. What not to love about him? But there's are 50 shades of the unknown behind this man and I can't tell you more because of the NDA. You will need to read this book and once you pop, you can't stop. It answers most girls' question that no man is perfect and there's always something about him that makes you wonder and frustrates you even further. But it's the very fact that this is one man who loves so much, so deep that he's willing to change despite him being the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs combined with the face of Leonardo DiCaprio or Brad Pitt. Learn: compromise! He's 50 shades of awesomeness after we can find a way to eject the 50 shades of fucked up inside him. The flow of the book is smooth and the unexpected reaction of Anastasia moved things along pretty interestingly.

I would read this book again, not wanting to miss out any details. If you have an open mind about PNR or BDSM, here's an interesting MUST-read.

PS. When I was reading this book, during the times when I couldn't read, I was listening to this and my eyes welled. It's so apt.




And the best person who has my vote to play Christian Grey in the movie as got to be... Non other than... Matt Bomer! Check out this picture, he's just sizzling HOT! That's how I pictured MY Christian Grey!




I want him! Well, but he's gay! Bugger! SLURP!

To the haters out there, stop being such a prude. It's got sub standard English... Yes. It's not proper... Yes. It's trashy... Yes. Good trash. It's not real... Yes. It's a book dammit!

I'm so in love with Christian Grey, I kept going back to re-read the book. I'm hopeless...
