FINALLY, I finished reading Laurie Graff’s Good Frog Hunting (Looking for Mr. Goodfrog in other editions) after months of marveling of when I’ll be able to finish the book. I bought it last summer when I was desperate, no not desperate, “looking” for tips about lurve is more fitting term. It is one hilarious book as the main character, Karrie Kline, wanders into seeking Mr. Goodfrog described as a single male; rather than seeking Mr. Right who’s not only single but also intelligent, attractive, funny, successful, non-commitment phobic male. Her encounter with various men, in which she always ends up as one humongous loser, made me lose track of their names. She met a lot of frogs in the pond and hoped for that thing that’d last eternally, but nil came up that’s real. Nevertheless, she never made that portion of her life stop her from what she really loves—acting. Instead, she created a one-woman show based on her lovelife branded Frogaphobia. Then, nung successful na siya saka pa nagsidatingan ang mga walang kwentang frogs. Puchax talaga.

Why she’s searching for a boyfriend:
“…knowing the travel time would be spent praying you wouldn’t feel awkward standing alone with no one to talk to during all the awkward moments you’d be standing alone with no one to talk to because that’s what happened when you went to one of those things dateless and alone.”

Yet again,
“Was commitment fate, or just a decision one chose to make at a certain? Did love propel
commitment, or was it the other way around? And if that was the case, what’s love got to do with it?”

Ano ba kasi talaga?
