Tales From The Darkroom

Lazy blogger

It's been days and I've been wanting to write something sensible in here... but I dunno what, and how to start.... or am I just too lazy to blog?

Gotta start somewhere...

Tapos na gun ban...

Happy birthday Jag! :)

25 Things Women Wish Men Would Figure Out

All the stuff we expect you to know without our telling you.

1. Saying "I love you" before, during or after sex doesn't count.
2. When we ask you how we look, "fine" is not an appropriate answer.
3. We obsess over whether you'll call from the moment we give you our number.
4. We fantasize. But it's usually about you.
5. We love it when you email us at work.
6. No matter how cool we seem about it, if you did something bad, we're pissed off.
7. Don't patronize us by asking if our bad mood is because of PMS.
8. Don't ever tell us what to do, even when we ask you to.
9. We will leave you if you lie to us.
10. We're unimpressed by men who don't take the lead. Be a man, dammit!
11. We love when you hold our hands.
12. We need to hear how you feel about us. Tell us right now. And again in ten minutes.
13. We want to be the best thing that ever happened to you -- and for you to know it.
14. If we don't feel loved, we'll start looking elsewhere.
15. Don't talk about your ex. Ever.
16. We like porn, too.
17. We remember everything about our relationships. Yes, everything.
18. We let you fix things.
19. You're sexiest when you're: sweating, driving, shaving, or holding a baby.
20. We've faked it.
21. Groping and foreplay are not the same thing.
22. While we're on the subject: more foreplay!
23. If we're not having sex it's because: we feel fat; we don't feel very close to you, or we are punishing you for not doing something our way.
24. We're afraid to meet your mother.
25. We think you should have already known all this stuff.

I got bored...

and drew this. But that was few months back.
I only got to finish it today because... yes!... I got bored again.

Thanks Jim for letting me "duplicate" your photo. Next time na lang yung oil. ;)

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill,
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down,
And broke his crown;
And Jill came tumbling after.

Then up Jack got, and home did trot,
As fast as he could caper.
They put him to bed,
And plastered his head,
With vinegar and brown paper.

----THE END----

Ever wonder what happened to Jill?

She fell... and never got up.

Bride of the day

While shooting prep:

Photog: "Can you please kneel down (looking for a better angle). You'll get used to that later (church)."

Atty. bride: "Kneel down? I've been doing that for 5 years."

Ordinary day

My friend Yowat @ Dagupan.

~~~~~
It's sooo gloomy outside. It's sulking me in.

Everyday is an ordinary day, except when...
...I miss the beach.

Puerto Princesa - El Nido
On with the tour!

10 Boat ride going to the underground river.
11 Ah yes, they are frantically excited!
12 I used to love long drives... but not 8 hours of rough road!
13 We tried to distract ourselves with the free massage we're having...
14 After more than 8 hours on the road, we get to see this... what do we do?
15 We screamed!... then the kids kept asking "are we there yet?"... or was I the one who was asking Manong Joel? *grins*

Trivia: El Nido town only have electricity from 1pm to 1am.
