Stumble Over My Words Meaning Novels & Stories

“make sure to do your job properly, if you fail, it will not be forgotten.” Nanginig nang bahagya ang mga daliri ni Amariz habang hinahawakan ang folder “I… I understand, sir.” “why the hell I'm stammering” she ask in her mind. “Bakit sa tuwing siya ang nagsasalita ay nanlalambot Ako, na para bang gusto kong kumapit sa mga bisig niya, talandi amp0ta” parang baliw na wika niya sa kanyang isip

"Why won't I accept this offer? It's full of more bragging offers than genuinity. I don't like it." Mabilis ang bawat kabog ng dibdib ko dahil sa sobrang kaba. Now I know why people look scared of him. His mouth is full of stabbing words that will slap your whole existence. I feel offended, I feel really offended. Even the way he looks in my eyes makes me offended. "I don't like greedy people," he whispered out of his breath.

Napatingin ako kay November na nakakunot ang noo at nakabuka ang mga labi na mistulang iniintindi ang sinabi ko. “Ride? You?” Umiling na lang ako sa asar sa katangahan. “Huwag mo na intindihin ang nasabi ko. Namamali ang grammar ko talaga minsan. Stupid mental condition," palusot ko na lang. "Tara at sakay na! Huwag nang matanong, prinsesa!"

What the hell is happening to me? "W-wala. Lumayo ka nga," "Why I are you stammering? I won't eat you..." he chuckled but I found no humor on it. I don't know how to answer. Parang biglang nag-blanko ang aking isip. Nanatili lamang akong nakatitig sa kaniya. Unti-unting naging seryoso ang mukha nito na kanina lamang ay nakangiti. Ilang beses akong lumunok para mawala itong bumabara sa aking lalamunan.

[translation: I met my stepsister last night while having dinner at the restaurant. “Why are you suddenly speaking French now? What is it? Did she hurt you?” “We just had some… uhm… we just had some exchanging of words,” she said and bit her lower lip. “Échanger des mots, vous voulez dire des mots blessants?” tanong nito. [trans: Exchanging words, you mean, hurtful words?] Hindi niya maiwasang mapangiwi at humugot ng malalim na hininga. “Sort of.”

tanong ng speaker sa kaniya at muli niyang itinaas ang ulo niya. "May, may spea-speaking dis-disorder p-po ako." Ang lahat ng mga mata ay nakatuon lamang kay Keithwarth. At base sa sinabi niya, alam ko ang tawag sa disorder na iyan. Stammering. Stammering or stuttering is a speaking disorder in which the flow of speech is broken by repetitions, prolongations, or abnormal stoppages of sounds and syllables. I know you think that some of the factors could probably genetics or child development or family dynamics or what is called, neurophysiology. I think so. If I got the chance, I want to know his story.

I muttered quietly while staring ahead, “like full Tagalog… pure chaos… tapos ngayon parang…” I frowned deeply, struggling for the word automatically before mumbling awkwardly, “nakaka… uh…” I paused. Then groaned loudly. “Oh my God, see? SEE?!” Ji Lian looked mildly concerned now. “You forgot a word?” “Yes!” I cried dramatically while grabbing his arm, “I literally forgot a basic word mid-sentence. I’m a disgrace to the Philippines.” “You’re overreacting.” “No, I’m not,” I argued immediately, “Jose Rizal is probably haunting me spiritually right now.”

Literal na kabaliwan na 'yung kaniya. Nakita ko siyang nangiti-ngiti at kinagat-kagat pa 'yung likuran ng kaliwang palad niya habang nagmamaneho naman 'yun kanan. Tingnan niyo nga, pinagtatawanan ako. "It was not what I meant, I think you misunderstood me." "Ha?" Ano naman ang na misunderstood ko? "Forget it, don't make me laugh again." Wika niya na ikina-gulo ng braincells ko.

“Nagkiss na tayo last time remember?” “Oo nga…hindi ko lang masyadong na-feel kung malambot ba or h-hindi, hindi naman iyon ang focus ko.” I couldn’t contain myself that much kaya nag-stutter ako. Saka parang wrong move na rin iyong huling sinabi ko?

Naisip na sayang maganda pa naman. "Di mo ba nakita yong signal na hinto. Nag Signal naman ako sayo ah nahihinto ako." Thunder try to explain, be calm tho' the girl had called him stupid. "Pasalamat sya maganda sya." Shanel narrowed her eyes. "See what? Di mo nakita kasalanan mo. You suddenly stop dimbo. Hulina signal mo." Nagpanting ang ulo ni Thunder. "Stupid? Dimbo? You referring your yourself right?"
