23.MarLunes… nang tayo’s magkakilala
I used to mentor an Oxford intern. We were talking about literature during downtime and she said she’s into classics. I said I was too and said Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories and the Hunchback of Notre Dame are two of my all-time faves.
“Oh I meant Austen and the like.” hehe
So I bought “Jane Eyre” and to this day it’s on my stack of “to read/finish”. Talagang natapos ko na yung Pullman trilogy (Northern Lights) but I couldn’t get past the first chapter of Eyre.
This year I have had the pleasure of accidentally catching old English films on “Pride and Prejudice” (na talaga namang halos magasgas na sa dami nang remake), “Emma”, “Jane Eyre” and last night “Persuasion”, though I missed the first 30 minutes. Since it’s not BBC, I was almost reluctant to wee in case I missed a minute of it.
Para kong tangang kinikilig. I even sigh — hhaayyy. Salamat na lang at di ko nababasa ito nung high school ako. Kundi baka wala akong naging boyfriend. Lagi na lang akong magiging sawi.
Sana next time maabutan ko naman “Wuthering Heights”.

BAt ganon? I tried reading Pride and Prejudice but didn’t get that far. Too much british niceties for me. But then, ganun din ang nangyari sakin with Crime and Punishment. Tas, naalala kong bigla, mababa nga pala concentration level ko. Halos ADD ako, hehe
Nakatulog nga ako sa Jane Eyre na book. Naiwan yung utak ko sa first page nung chapter 1.
Siguro talagang sa films ko na lang sila “mababasa” or actually pinag-iisipan ko nga Tito Rolly yung mga audio books… Kaya lang baka magalit na Diyos sa katamaran ko.
