Jeck’s Wedding

sharing a few pics during Jeck and Tin’s Wedding last Sat (march 21, 2009). Since this is my blog the pics are all about me!

fun wedding!

3 Weddings and 2 Funerals

 

3 Weddings This March alone, not including the rest of the year. I will be a bride’s maid in one this month. Good luck!

 

In this time of global recession and when the divorce and annulment rate is at its peak, I guess a lot still believes that love still lasts or maybe slacking on contraceptives that they got their girlfriends pregnant. Seriously!

 

In this time when a lot of the people I know are spreading the love, I am actually one who sulks as I was told of the bad news a few days before valentines. I just don’t feel anything great and definitely not festive on the day when most of the “coupledom” were celebrating! But thank god (am so bad!) I have one friend who can empathize with me as his “boyfriend” chose to breakup on his birthday. Hahahha!!! Well aside from the fact that he totally stole my moment, it’s just great to know that it’s not only me who’s suffering but also this close friend and probably the rest of world.. Drama!

 

Since am one of those unlucky few who seem to repel “relationships” and when you just get invited weddings after weddings, it’s just hard to feel the love. However, I think it’s wise that all those nasty imaginations, disappointments and that super broken feeling must be gone once and for all. It’s such a waste to wallow and be sad when even when you’re miserable,  you are still a little bit comforted by that silly thought that there is still that 1/1000000 chance of meeting some cute guy when you’re in a dress and in your most composed self. Good Luck!

Carlo is loving his new SLR camera and am loving that i’d have limitless photos from this kinda pro.

so here are some of his great pics taken.

House Cleaning

 

I have been planning to clean our house the past weeks yet something always comes up on a weekend so the house is now really dusty. Not to mention that I think my bedroom is as bad and that the bed really needs clean sheets. But I am hoping that along with my cleaning I’d finally clean my system on that unwanted pangs of emotions I’ve been dodging lately. I soooo hope that when the weekend ends I’ve dealt whatever I have to deal, accept the things I need to accept, have a renewed self,  and that am not as weak as I am now…

25 Things!

 

Stole the idea from facebook. But instead of posting there for everyone to see. Am posting this here a little private with just closest friends browsing around.

 

1. I dreaded to be 25 sooo much thus my super stingy self splurged on my 25th birthday to have a proper celebration and to help me accept the crossing to what I think is another stage in my life. I used to think I will be married and fulfilled in that age and yet I haven’t met half of it.
2. I secretly feared I will never love someone, since internally I never was interested in boys and having a boyfriend, despite my constant whining of being lonely I am quite contented.
3. While I was running down the stairs in  a hurry to get to my past ’squeeze’ who was waiting outside for me, I realized it felt really nice to love someone and be loved in return (ok he may not feel that way but it felt like that at that time)
4. I have mastered pushing away men who are interested in me. Yet couldn’t keep the one I wanted.
5. I am really comforted when one fortune teller predicted I will be married at 28 and another said that I will have a successful marriage yet that man will come late in my life.
6. I am not really great in sharing.
7. I don’t like to wait. I consider myself quite the most impatient person. I haven’t met someone who is as irritable as me when waiting. Thus am not really good in surprises.
8. Until now I haven’t decided on my favorite color though I claim it’s orange. I am now loving gold though I am drawn to yellow most of the time.
9. Being an old maid is a possibility as 5 out of 6 of my dad’s sisters are ‘old virgin maids” and I grow up not wanting to be them. They are rich and flamboyant yet they talk and talk about the boys they left behind. For short they are bitter!  I vowed to never be like them but good luck!.
10. I am really paranoid. I feel that I am sick most of the time and that I have cancer cells growing inside me.
11. I feel that If I were to die, I’d rather die now than when I have a family of my own as I have few people who will cry and be miserable on my passing.
12. MONEY is really important to me.
13. I was really damn good in ALGEBRA. I was surprised since my mom scared the heck out of me on that subject while I was in elementary.
14. I have a stage mother who loves me unconditionally yet I could never be with in one room without fighting. We clash so much that most of what I remember about her is her nails scratching my face, and the slaps.
15. I seriously think I have a great memory on the most useless, senseless and “stupidest” things out there but not those which are important.
16. I really admire Dr. Jose Rizal that I even aced that subject in college and loved playing characters in Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. Hihih!
17. I tell my parents I love you and kiss them a lot of time. Cheesy!
18. A close friend in high school died on my bday. It was that time I realized we are all just passing and that dying is inevitable.
19. I am addicted to porn.
20. I share most of my traits with my dad except his being tardy but I sooo look like my mom. I am Marinita Jr on the outside but Jorge in the inside.
21. I have other 6 Good Looking Friends, who makes my life a little interesting.
22. I love my family very much. I adore my sisters even if they hate me and I will try my very best to not disappoint my parents.
23. The best advise I got to mending a broken heart is to let time take its course and never beat yourself up when you still check on his status, occasionally make contact and be a little pathetic. in time it will get better and you will be back in your old self.
24. I will never “not struggle” in my weight. Even if I now think my boobs are too small I’d still think I’m chubby!
25. I have the tendency to overanalyze yet still act stupid.

Before and AFter

 

The “bordest” gaga like me don’t have much to do on a weekend, so naturally I’d spend so much time surfing the internet. One time I came across a Photoshop Tutorial Video in youtube with all the tricks on how to make the ugliest… beautiful. See pictures as evidence.

 

Picture 1:

 

No bashing on how I look, I was eating breakfast (see choriso) when carlo snapped a pic using his newly purchased SLR. Carlo is quite good taking pictures but the model just aint pretty..

fully made up for breakfast

 

Picture 2:

 

Well well and well, please note I was 135 lbs when that photo was taken. I’ve lost 10 lbs since then, I think I look better now in 2 pc. But still see the much improved picture. I wanted to look like a supermodel in a Victoria Secret photo shoot but too much “Liquifying” already made the waves look weird so I stopped editing right there…

 

tune in... i'll be making more!

 i know those pics aren’t perfect yet. but i’ll keep you posted on my little editing developments. ciao!

Oh Thank God I Did It Again

 

Went out, got drunk and slept late…

 

Sure thing a home freak like me would not want to do that on a regular basis, but I guess going out and drinking once in a while wouldn’t hurt. But I got too rusty after a long time that I fell asleep after the third beer. Oh well! At least it was quite a change on my usual porn marathon Friday night! Hahah!!

Mommy’s 50 na…

 

Marinita will be 50 this sat (january 24), and of course every time I YM my sisters I’d always be reminded to never forget to wire my contribution. Well I guess they are all busy planning my Mama’s crossing to the “OLD AGE”. Well this lady deserves the celebration as she who had been held captive in our home has not been much of an attention seeker but has delighted herself over the years with her children’s little achievements. I’ve watched her talk about us like we were God’s gift from heaven, when in fact we were nothing but those who probably made her years short through constant nuisance and disappointments.

 

Now as Marinita turns 50, I’ll tell her once again that I love her and despite those major and minor quarrels I still will never wish for another mother but her… l

 

picture of me and my mom taken on my dad's 55th bday! we share the same face ackchwalee~

“Love you ma! Happy bday! i really wish am there to celebrate it with u guys <sob sob>”

 

 

The Year Ahead

 

I woke up with a funny feeling in my stomach, so naturally I went to the comfort room and served myself. The year is really starting right, no need for Dulcolax but then it could be because I stuffed myself way too much the night before…

 

So u see, I started my year with such optimism, a promise that everything will go right the year ahead. I did a mental note on the things that mattered.

 

• My family
• My friends
• My work and of course the WORKMATES

 

Those made my 2008 quite fine and as long as I keep those I will be just ok this 2009.

 

This year however, am quite positive that I wouldn’t have a lovelife as both the great “Tatay Eloy’ and a no of horoscope sites are telling me that this year is all about self worth (I don’t know what that is) and self fulfillment (again am confused). So yet again Diane Lao will remain single this year like my previous years. (But what’s comforting me is that “Tatay Eloy” the freakingly good manghuhula assured me I will be getting married but maybe late. That’s quite expected!!!)

 

So this year, I vowed yet again..

• that I will broaden my skills by trying to enroll myself in online whatever trainings. I will not be as ignorant as I am now before this year ends.
• That I will try to always count my blessings and keep in mind that I am very lucky to have great family and supportive and meddling friends. Bow!
• That I will Keep myself entertained and not totally rely on porn. Read as much books, browse as many online sites and see as much Jologs movies.

 

Nothing too big this year just those I can attain. Hope 2009 will turn out great for me…

Go 2009!

The 2008 Grand Cebu Homecoming

 The holidays soooo done!!!

The only thing am grateful for is that my normal eating habit will finally commence. other than that am quite sad.

 

I had such great time… For some reason, I didn’t have any major fight with any of my sisters and of course  parents. I did not go out as much yet I still got to have as much fun with friends.

 

The sisters seemed to now have the same wavelength wearing red dresses (except for fatty jane) on Xmas.

 

 

 

To my parents’ despair I went out to have dinner (Djaneth’s Bday) the day I arrived.

 

 

 

then we all had our anual Xmas Party… of couse it was fun!! no need to expound..

THE XMAS PARTY!

Major event of course is Ebbe’s and Ken’s Bday celebration as the extended homo friends are invited and I only get to hang out with these eccentric people once a year.

 

now drink for the birthday GIRLS

i like me here lang

All in all, despite losing one tooth and most of my intelligence 2008 was a fab year and I still ended it with a BANG!!
