Meet Guiomar. She is my friend, and she is awesome. Some things you should know about Guiomar: She is Spanish. She is hilarious. A couple years ago we went to Molly Malone's (A Spanish Irish pub of course) on her birthday she drank one small glass of Bailey's and it put her over the top. She began reciting proverbs in English, very thoughtfully and methodically, though at the time she knew very little English, and perhaps comprehended even less. Sigh, I love cross-cultural opportunity for awkwardness and hilarity. The following is the result of said moment: enjoy. *"If the people sink . . . you will have no satisfaction."
"If you have a calf . . . think, where are you now?"
"Look at the picture . . . look at the round. Look at you, look at me, look all over, and look at your life and the first second could be this moment.""If the blue sky begings to shine the blue shine goes very fast . . . if the world begins to cry, the babies begin to shine."
*disclaimer: Her English is much improved these days, as she is studying in Ireland and has visited the US.
