Snippets, episode 032513.

"We talked about our voices as writers--how we are strong and brave but how as people we are wimps. This is what creates our craziness. The chasm between the great love we feel for the world when we sit and write about it and the disregard we give it in our own human lives." - Natalie Goldberg, Writing Down the Bones (Freeing The Writer Within)

I got that book quote from Ian when we were hanging out with Betty at the Filvadro a little over a week ago. I can so relate to that.

And with that, more snippets.

"Ma'am, wala ka ba kahit konting pagtingin kay _____?"
[Feigns "meh" expression.]
"Pero kung manligaw kaya siya, papayag ka?"
[Maintains the same expression] "I'm open to it."
(Wahahaha.)

[While looking at fist] "Malaki pala puso ko."
"Pano nagkasya diyan si _____?"

[Overhearing a conversation about the disadvantages of dating a partner.]
"Bakit parang may natatamaan diyan?"

"Magde-date lang kayo eh."
(Believe me, if we were dating, you guys would be the first ones who would know.)

Yes, I'm a wimp. But it's mostly just because of certain given circumstances that, if things happen to develop, there would probably come to a point where I have to choose between two things.

Oh, the trivialities of a torpe girl.
