Denial

Since Doc and I missed the baptismal ceremony for Frodo's fourth kid last Saturday (we were both ninongs, or godfathers), we headed directly to the reception venue.

Frodo said the venue would be at Pho bac near BK. We thought BK stood for Burger King. No such restos when we arrived. Turned out the venue was Pho hoa, and BK stood for Big Kahuna with a sign board no bigger than a jeepney's.

Someone asked me about jogging in Marikina, to which I replied, "When I'm "feeling fat" that's when I jog."

This elicited a chorus of counter replies, "You're not just "feeling fat," you ARE fat. That's what you call "denial"."

So there.

Cuando lees 'Cien años de soledad', de Gabriel García Márquez, ¿cómo lo lees, en castellano o en inglés?
