Fifty Shades of Grey: Why You Probably Shouldn't Bother [Book Review]

Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

If there was a zero star rating, I would have given that. This book barely live up to the hype that made me borrow this book in the first place. I'm glad I didn't buy it, not even as an e-book. Meandering. Recycling words and scenes over and over again, ad infinitum. This book is not even erotic, not at all. I painfully tried to read every word until my eyes almost bled in agony. Such a painful read, and not in a good way. I'm just glad the ordeal is over. I started reading Book 2 a few days ago, was giving it another chance, thinking maybe there's some form of redemption there. No such luck. 50 pages into it, I threw my hands up in the air and screamed: "I can't take any more of this BS." You don't have to eat an entire cake to know that it's good. Apparently, you don't have to read through 382 pages of Fifty Shades of Grey to know that while some people may adore it, it just isn't the book for you. Sorry Fifty fans. I mean no disrespect.

Withdraw Money From Your Globe GCash Effortlessly Using The All-New Globe GCash ATM-Style Card

I just received my all-new Globe GCash Card and I was thrilled to find out how great it looks!

It's been customized to my liking and it's even more beautiful than I thought it would look like.

You can choose whatever background image you fancy and it comes with a very professional-looking ID format at the back with matching ID photo!

But don't let its looks deceive you, there's definitely more than meets the eye with this card. It's not the usual membership card that simply uses up space in your wallet without serving any helpful and practical purpose.

The all-new GCash Card has the functionality of an ATM card! And it works much like how your usual ATM card works -- insert it to any ATM nationwide and withdraw Globe GCash money after entering your MPIN.
Please be informed that there's a P20 charge for every withdrawal -- taken from your GCash balance.

If you'd like to have one, visit the Globe GCash website and apply today! It costs 100 pesos and takes around 2 weeks to be delivered. Make sure you have at least 100 pesos on your GCash wallet before you apply for a card because that's where Globe will deduct the card payment.

Can't wait to use it, especially now that I'm seriously considering putting up a Bayad Center within the village.

Why You Should Join Sulit.com.ph: A Testimonial

I've long dreamed of operating an online store. And if you're reading this now, you probably know why people like me operate online stores. It's because of people like you. People like you who are tech-savvy, almost always online, always busy, has no time to stroll around town and leisurely walk at malls while scouring for good buys know by heart that the best place to buy and sell these days is through the internet. So people like us, part-seller and part-buyer, put up websites, purchase shopping cart software, buy SSL certificates (for securing private information), sometimes purchase/sign-up for a separate payment gateway and then wait for customers to browse, inquire and hopefully, buy our products. Sounds easy right? Think again. A few years back, online commerce, or e-commerce as they call it, is solely a marketing arm and an additional income generator available only to corporations who have tons of money to pay for both online advertisements and search engine marketing and well, for all the set-up software I mentioned above. To even dream of putting-up such a site (if you're an average income earner) that time is considered ridiculous, foolish and impossible.

But now, these days are gone (or at least quite possible now..). Thanks to the various changes and other technological advances in the mobile and telecommunication industries, finally catching up on the rampaging information superhighway that is the internet. Now, you don't need a payment gateway to receive money. There are now numerous ways to receive payment-mobile money transfer, online banking money transfer, through remittance centers, etc.

Even more helpful, and if I may say, one of the best possible help you can get to jumpstart your online business is online advertising. It is by far, still the best avenue to gain as much product exposure as possible and eventually generate a sale. There are many online advertising sites available today. But experience convinced me that online advertising through http://www.sulit.com.ph is the way to go. I'm actually pretty new at Sulit.com.ph and yet I've been seeing results already. The first time I posted my ad (that was just one at that time), I got almost a hundred views for a day. I got 3 inquiries and a quite a few text messages still, all coming from buyers who saw my ad at Sulit.com.ph! It is important to note that, as I have observed in barely a few weeks at Sulit.com.ph is that at any one time, there are an average of 3000 people (sometimes even more) simultaneously viewing Sulit.com.ph. This number is comprised of people who are members of Sulit.com.ph (around 10-20%) and people who were brought there through a search at Google. How amazing is that? It only tells you a few things worth noting. One, that Sulit.com.ph gives you thousands of possibilities to be viewed. Two, that Sulit.com.ph's format is undoubtedly search engine optimized. The chances that a random search at Google for a certain item will list your ad on the first page is very realistic. I know, because I tried searching Google using a generic keyword in my ad and voila! My ad is result #1, almost unbelievable. Three, that sulit.com.ph gives you all these and more for FREE! Yes, there's the magic word right there. Where else do you enjoy such wonderful benefits without shelling-out a few bucks? Advertisng at Sulit.com.ph is FREE! Allow me to stress that. :-)

What's more is that when you sign-up, you get a fully-functional multi-page website of your own which is also customizable. There's a buzz about a payment integration currently in the works. I'm almost sure it will go well. It's gonna be very beneficial to both buyers and sellers if such a payment system will be available.

Right now, all I can say is I made a great choice signing up at Sulit.com.ph. And with all the good results I got, I'm sure there are plenty more coming my way. So, if you operate an online store, or you simply want to advertise a physical or offline store you may have, advertise at Sulit.com.ph now! There's nothing to lose and a lot to gain. :-)
