kung fu fanda (or things i wanna say but won't because i can't)

"yes, i am staying put. i figured the ground around me is shaking so badly it wouldn't help if i keep on moving my feet. so i stay put, on that tiny slab of ground that refuses to disintegrate because my feet are planted on it."

"Broody asked me not to give up on YOU. i said I won't. i am not. i haven't. but YOU seem to have given up, and so i cross my fingers and hope for the best while preparing for the worst. i figured there's nothing wrong in keeping options available, no matter if i don't intend to exercise them yet. but if there's one thing about options i've learned in school, it is that they have strike prices and expiry dates, and the closer you are to that date, the lower your option value becomes. true for finance, true for everyday life."

"i am the last person who should be judging you. i knew how it is, that nagging feeling that he's not the one, that no matter how close he is to the ideal, no matter how much you try to fit the ideal to him, he's only just close enough. so you hang on while keeping your eyes open. that's fine, but please be fair, please be kind, and please be honest. you may deserve more, but he deserves as much."

AND THIS:

"Mopey, the evil kids took all the pandas...promise me you'll get me my pandas...promise?"
