There's a three minute delay between my work phone and my computer. It's not a substantial delay, but it's still delayed nonetheless.
I wonder how long the delay is between my head and my mind... I'm almost certain that there's a significant gap of a decade if not less. I can feel my heart screaming, "It's no longer there!", meanwhile my mind is thinking, "What if it comes back?".
I'm sure that it should actually be the other way around, with my mind being the sensible one and my heart the rebel... But seeing as I overthink things way too much, this is but normal.
This morning, however, my mind and my heart were finally in sync for about three minutes. Of course, both could lose track of the other again in the future, but for now, I will be thankful, that at one point, everything has somehow fallen into place and is going at the same pace to the same beat.
Have you ever read any of Jessica Zafra's books? In so many ways you remind me so much of her style of writing: very honest, very direct, sooo humorous, and the eloquence just pops out of the pages (or the computer screen, in your case). I love the way she writes and after all these months, I now know why I am so much drawn by your blogs!!! They are very "genuine"... direct from the heart and mind and right onto your blogging!! =)
ReplyDelete"Twisted" was the name of her first book, and I believe her column was entitled the same.... such a talented writer, like you!
ReplyDeleteYou are now, I think, the fifth person to tell me that! Haha. It must be true...
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I haven't had the chance to read any of her books. My brother had a collection of her books back in the Philippines and he was actually the first person to say that I'm like her. LOL. I'll try to find a copy somewhere here or order it online...
I have to say I am utterly curious. Ang dami na kasi nagsabi. Hehehe.
Yes! Twisted nga daw. Hehehe. :) Thank you so much, dearest... I'm touched. Now, I really have to find her books and read them.
ReplyDeletehihihi... since "Twisted", meron na atang 8 or so more... naku... you and i have a lot of catching up to do.. pabili nalang tayo sa Pilipinas tapos ipadala nalang satin... =)

I tried to find out what the shipping fees were... all the 9 books would cost P1,900 (approx $38.00), but they were charging me $70.00 for shipping!!!
ReplyDeleteAre they freakin' out of their mind????
wag nalang.... pabibili nalang ako sa ate ko pag nagka chance... hihihihi =)
Whoa! The shipping costs are more expensive kesa sa libro. Hahaha. Kamusta naman yun?
