this is the organic market where Myra goes to. and so, these are organic apples. i was told once before that you could tell whether a fruit or a piece of vegetable  was organic if the appearance wasn’t perfect.

When it comes to professional work, i like perfect, BUT,  when it comes to shapes of fruits and…shapes of people’s faces and their appearances, i like… not-perfect — smiles that are quirky, noses that crinkle and wrinkle when the person is pleased, one tooth that’s slighly not aligned (they call it in Filipino, “sungki”), a strange gait or a peculiar way of walking…even accents! i like people with quaint, “homegrown”   accents (i don’t like people who’ve picked up their colonizer’s accents though, and never did anything about it) — the quaint ones,  i pick up the  intonation  after an hour; friends wonder where’ve been…

i’m blabbering.
