Have you ever experienced having this conversation with someone, and he says something so appalling to you, you became speechless and ended up saying a very lame reply or remained silent, sucking in air into your lungs because you were that shocked and defeated.
And thinking of it now, you beat yourself up for not coming up with a great argument that would shove his point aside and eat whatever he said?
Here are the times that I bombed out, and the instances that I wished happened.
Scenario 1
Given:
Sister - artist and draws awesome animes and has a thousand of followers on tumblr, who have the opportunity to have instant access to her "art"
Sister: I'm so addicted to tumblr these days. I never get my hair done or have any time to do kikay stuff because I am always checking on my art and counting how many followers I have thus far. Now it has reached a thousand. I don't know, I wonder what talent do YOU have? Do you have any talent at all?
Me: I was silent for a few seconds, heart in my throat saying: "yeah I do sketches, and it's there."
Now I wished the heavens would give me a chance to say it this way.
Me: I happened to know how to dance, really well, like really, really good.

Scenario 2
Friend and I were in the car talking about the upcoming concerts of bruno mars and lionel richie.
Me: I can't wait to watch Lionel's concert.
Him: Uhmm I'll probably watch Bruno Mars, it's obvious that he's a bigger star, given that he just sang in the superbowl with the Red hot chilli peppers.
Me: What?! Lionel Richie is an icon. He's in a totally different level compared to Bruno Mars.
I sure wished I have added to that...
Me: How dare you compare Bruno Mars with Lionel Richie!!!
Lionel Richie, is... a... god... preserved by botox.
And all the people in my hood say...
