Fun apps for the iPad

After a long day, on the way home from work (only if I use the public means of transportation of course), or when I get home, I love playing a couple of games on my iPad to blow off some steam and have some fun. In 2017, I downloaded so far a few games that are fun and really enjoyable.

#1: Crossword quiz (AppStore link) is a wonderful game where you solve crosswords and it has different topics such as pop culture, movies, music, celebrities, animals, characters, brands, I ❤️90s, sports, I❤️80s, TV shows, video games, and so on. Also, there is the daily quiz to solve; new day, new topic. You have the ability to connect this app with your Facebook account and there are achievements too. The achievements give you coins to give you the ability to solve a question in the quiz you might not know. Actually you can use coins to remove some of the letters provided to you in order to solve each quiz question, or you can choose to reveal a letter in your quiz question. I love this game because each question is a picture or a GIF. Check it out.

#2: Family Feud 2 by Ludia (Family Feud 2 link) is a game based on the popular game show. You can connect it on Facebook and play against your friends or you can play against random people. It's so much fun, I really like it. 

#3: Deal or no deal by iwin, Inc (Deal or no deal link) is a version of this interesting game show. There are two modes to play, solo and tournament. Personally, I connected it with my Facebook. If you don't want to connect it with your Facebook, you can always play as guest. It's a very fun game and every time there's an achievement to be reached. 

These are my latest three apps that I can't stop playing. Feel free to share yours on the comments section. 

Fifty shades of whatever

The madness over the Fifty shades Trilogy is not quite over yet, as the second movie, Fifty Shades Darker is going to be released on February 9th 2017. Let me start by the books. Honestly, I read all three of them because I wanted to have an opinion formed about them without having people telling me to read all the books before I speak my mind.

Let me start with why I didn't like it and did not become obsessed with it: Anastasia Steele is a girl who goes crazy over a multimillionaire guy, Christian Grey. The girl is having an awkward first encounter with this stupid interview and - sorry, not sorry - she's the type of girl that a man like Christian would never pursue to involve with her for a lot of reasons. I.e., you can tell she has no experience into being around a man, any man. I'm not going to talk about the contract regarding his BDSM thing, I'm not sure how that works because it's not my scene, but browsing the web will give you a clue: it isn't well written, it's like "let's copy and paste information we found online" and please check it, there have been protests regarding that. I don't know how E.L.James got millions out of this nonsense, but kudos to her for making it happen. I wish I was that lucky in my life.

E.L.James wrote a trilogy based on her fantasy and it definitely worked for her, but for me, reading about this on and off and unhealthy relationship, sorry, it bothers me, it makes me feel diminished as a woman. It bothers me even more because it actually shows this false image that we as women are always keeping our fingers crossed and we try to change a guy who is so obviously not the best for us. Because in any kind of relationship, both parties involved, should definitely accept each other for who they are. This story makes caricatures of men and women. Just think about Ana's friend José. He is the friendzoned BFF who tries to kiss her while drunk and then everything is ok. Also, he is the only Latino character and he says Dios mìo too much. If you start thinking about her "catchphrases", it just makes no sense. And who says "double crap"? Oh and that "inner goddess" thing... It's ridiculous.

And let me go to the ending, the fairy tale ending: from BDSM to the happy married life. If that doesn't sound absurd, I don't know what will. When I finished book 3, I was very happy the torture was over. No, it was not enjoyable experience, I just loved pointing out the weirdness out of it. And then the first movie came along. Why to watch it? Because Jamie Dornan is hot. He plays the part of Christian Grey. You can also watch the TV series Once Upon a Time because he plays the part of the Sheriff. Why should I watch the second movie: 50 Shades Darker? Because I can continue "complain" about it, have a fun night with my female friends, and last but not least, enjoy the view of Jamie Dornan.
