Mina V. Esguerra QUOTES

1 " She and I, we were girls who never said anything. Never wanted to assume anything. It was a coping mechanism, saving our faces for when guys like Quin came along and acted all nice towards us. "

― Mina V. Esguerra , Interim Goddess of Love (Interim Goddess of Love, #1)

2 " So we liked to speak our minds, but not our hearts. Too bad, because sometimes people needed to hear that. A whole mess of things could have been avoided if we just knew how to say the right thing. "

― Mina V. Esguerra , Love Your Frenemies (Chic Manila, #4)

3 " Before I met him, I wondered how I could possibly fit a relationship into my life. My days felt full, of people, things, and concerns, and I wondered what I'd give up to accommodate someone new. Anton made it seem easy. He didn't take me out of my life; instead, he sort of slid into the empty spaces and made himself comfortable. "

― Mina V. Esguerra , That Kind of Guy (Chic Manila, #5)

4 " Some girls can't stand to be around the guy they like. They get really nervous, and rather than make fools of themselves, they just stay away. I was the opposite; the more I liked a guy, the more I wanted to be around him. I was the type who'd join the same org, or pick the same elective. Sure I was probably looking like a fool five times a day over a bunch of things, but I liked being close to someone I admired. "

― Mina V. Esguerra , Interim Goddess of Love (Interim Goddess of Love, #1)

5 " Because, though I'd seen and felt just a fraction of all the love in the world, I knew that when people thought of love they thought of moments. Whether or not a marriage worked out, or if they stayed together after graduation, or if they did go to the big dance together, the story's end mattered less, and the highlights in between mattered more. Those are what lingered, and what people can go back to, even when they had nothing left. "

― Mina V. Esguerra , Interim Goddess of Love (Interim Goddess of Love, #1)

6 " It still stung, knowing that he would rather see me with someone else than give me my moment, but I had to be mature about it. It wasn't about me. "

― Mina V. Esguerra , Interim Goddess of Love (Interim Goddess of Love, #1)

7 " This was how a manang self-destructed, probably. Not with drugs or alcohol, but cholesterol. "

― Mina V. Esguerra , That Kind of Guy (Chic Manila, #5)

8 " Next time, just say something. It doesn't have to be the first date. Maybe the third or the fourth. Don't wait a year if you're sure. Certainty is sexy. And owning up to your attraction is sexy, too, and if you do it right and you're not creepy about it, I bet she will respect you for it anyway even if she does not like you back. "

― Mina V. Esguerra , That Kind of Guy (Chic Manila, #5)

9 " My calendar lately is full of work. And you. "

― Mina V. Esguerra , My Imaginary Ex (Chic Manila, #1)

10 " I came today because I realized that if I can't forgive her and love her as she is, then I can't expect anyone to do the same for me. "

― Mina V. Esguerra , Love Your Frenemies (Chic Manila, #4)

11 " So, another thing I had in common with Kathy - ripe mangoes were, truly, the best thing ever. Ripe mangoes, the dark yellow ones, would be my true love. "

― Mina V. Esguerra , Interim Goddess of Love (Interim Goddess of Love, #1)

12 " Any shameful habits? Hobbies?” “Donuts. "

― Mina V. Esguerra , Wedding Night Stand (Chic Manila, #6.5)

13 " Other people had a gratitude journal, but not Rose. She compiled evidence of her career being unhealthy and looking at the list reminded her of the good decision it was to completely change paths. "

― Mina V. Esguerra , Totally Engaged (Six 32 Central, #4)

14 " She came to find it meaningless, because it was as if that was the reason why people didn’t bother to figure her out. She was attractive in that inaccessible way, and people seemed fine with it. “No, "

― Mina V. Esguerra , Better At Weddings Than You (Chic Manila, #9)

15 " She liked air. The very idea of it. Of something ever present, always needed, but virtually invisible. "
