Today, I decided to start a blog. Obviously, here we are...🤣
I've always wanted to share my thoughts to world. I honestly didn't know where to start..so I guess writing here would somehow help me squeeze my thoughts out and share it to anyone who would be interested.
I created this blog mainly to write about my reading. I have always been a bookworm since I was a kid. My grandma thought it was good but honestly, now that I'm older I think it's just a trauma response. When I was a kid my grandma didn't let me go outside and play. She only wanted me to study and read and study and read. The only time I'm allowed to go out is if I'm going to school or if she's asking me to buy something for her at the store in front of our house. My early memories of stuff I read were mainly the comic books that my Uncles have lying around. They didn't want me to touch it though since it's precious to them. So I sneak in to their office and read when they're not around. Also, the comic strips on the newspaper back in the day. I would love to cut them up and collect them when my grandma's done reading them. One of my Uncles would bring me comic books whenever he comes home from work. In our currency, it was about 10 pesos back in the day. Yes, it was that cheap. It was the main source of entertainment for kids back then. We had TV but we only had local channels and only the adults are allowed to watch. No, we didn't have cellphones or internet back then. It was the 90's. How I wish we could all go back to such wonderful time. When humans still communicate and don't face their phones all day. Anyway, going back...My father (biology) would also take me to his office sometimes to pick up books that were just piled up inside a stockroom. I remember reading them everyday. I even had a small library somewhere in our house back then. I think that's where I started.
So fast forward to the future. As I get older, I get less and less time to read books. I transitioned to reading magazines when I graduated college since it's easier and faster to read. Back in 2012, I remember collecting Cosmopolitan Magazines. I bought the physical copies every month. Then, I came across the book Fallen by Lauren Kate. I think it's about girl who reincarnates every 17 years to find the love of her life, but whenever they made contact she burns or some sort...I could hardly remember...but it was really good. I wasn't able to complete the series though.
Now after that...I came across the Fifty Shades Trilogy...yes Ma'am, those were my first spicy read. I even watched the movie. But the books were better. Promise. They didn't do justice with the movie. I was disappointed with who they casted as Christian Grey and there were some scenes that were cut. I thought it was so taboo and scandalous since I haven't read anything like it before.. but I was wrong...
Yes I had the physical copies of these books.. with the original covers.. I had...I had them....but my apartment got flooded and I lost them. ðŸ˜
It's still one of the most memorable trilogies I've read of all time. My very first spicy read. But if you're looking for more smutty reads I have recs. 😜
This trilogy looks vanilla in the face of all of the smut I read lol 🤣🤣🤣.
If you got to this part, thank you for reading. I appreciate you.
Love,
