I share bits of my life like I share a bag of chips. (That was taken from a piece by Jessica Zafra in Womenagerie, and I realize I steal stuff from her, but I know how to borrow stuff properly.) As Rica puts it, stealing a line from a movie: Para kang carinderiang bukas sa lahat ng gustong kumain.
I laughed a bit when I saw that line on the chatbox. Anyway, it was because of this post: I hate summer. There are other stuff on there of course (Link barrage time!):

If you're curious, here's how this morning’s convo with Rica went:
Rica: i have a question
Rica: or some questions
Rio: shoot
Rica: i know you've probably recounted this incident to many people several times
Rica: pero it's different when it's on paper na
Rio: i know
Rica: proof that it happened
Rica: di na lang sya remembrance
Rio: it took a lot of energy
Rica: yes
Rica: that's why im going to ask what you want to do with this now
Rio: publish
Rica: lol
Rica: ok
Rio: tapos mo na basahin?
Rica: so doble na syang, are you sure?
Rica: parang, are you sure? sure?
Rio: why is it bad?
Rio: :-S
Rica: it isn't
Rica: tinatanong ko lang sayo, ok ba sayong may ibang mga taong babasa
Rio: okay lang
Rica: ng something very very very personal
Rio: kilala mo naman ako eh
Rio: and this is my first, as far as we know, non-fiction narrative
Rio: i share stories like that like i share chippy
Rio: (i want chippy)
Rica: as bad as it sounds (and taking a line from some movie), para kang carinderiang bukas sa lahat ng gustong kumain
Rio: ESPN
Rica: yep, kilala kita (not entirely, lol, not yet)
Rica: hahaha
Rio: LOL
Rica: BUT BUT BUT, like i said, it's different when it's on paper (or posted on a blog)
Rica: iba sya compared to when you're just making kwento about it
Rica: yun lang
Rica: kung sureness kang oks sayo, go, let's post this.
Rio: hindi ko alam, it's just that
Rio: that's just one of the "things that changed my life" stuff i have
Rio: i mean, if that house hadn't burned, i wouldn't have been a writer, i would've been an accountant
Rio: i wouldn't have known how to start from the ground up
Rio: i wouldn't have known how to carry guilt as big as that
Rica: gets
Rio: ayus na ba yung ending?
Rio: maybe i should put in those stuff ^
Rica: pero yun nga, ang question ko lang, will you be ok sharing something as major as this to strangers? most of whom will not even understand the gravity of this incident sa buhay mo
Rica: yun
Rio: nah, it's okay
Rio: it's content
Rio: and i kinda swore that day that i would publish it someday
Rio: and now i am
whaaaat?
