Digression
I got an early phone call from an older "aunt" I will just call Tita. Tita first asked my why the wedding invitation only had her name on it and not her kids names.
"Uhhh. Well....I guess its because it is only for you???"
Hehe, I didn't have the balls. So I took down the names of her kids and spouses. Thats 4 more guests. No prob naman. I'm just a bit peeved because I feel it was a bit crass of her to put me on the spot like that.
Next she starts talking about Joel's ex (we broke up for a bit in college).
Ah...she heard that the ex was "light-skinned" and "pretty" and "related to a top church official"....but that I shouldn't feel bad because I was "mature (!) and hardworking". And that I shouldn't feel bad because Jo is marrying me naman. So he was lucky din because although I wasn't as goodlooking as the ex, I was a really hardworking girl.
Ahhh, and I seem to act a bit like a tomboy and don't fix myself up too much, but "Don't fret Mai! I am an Avonesque lady! I will sell you some skin whitening concoctions that will help solve your problem dark skin." "Dont feel too sorry about yourself Mai"
I had to pry my kilay off my hairline heeeeh!
Joel laughed about it, but I was quite incensed. Not because I felt insecure, because I don't - but more because I don't like it when people seem to feel sorry for me about something I truly don't give a fuck about.
WTF??? Why so stupid? Shouldn't she have not said that at all? Tactless old lump. Pitying me pa! Hah!
I'm not sure Jo understood why I was spluttering heheh.

It's something like when I got caught cheating in my senior year in highschool. It was our Music Finals, and I really didn't want to memorize all the crap about Brahms, Bartok, etc, etc.
Anyway I got caught and got disqualified from getting honors (and so I should have been). My class adviser was so upset she even wept a couple times. She said I was ruining my future, I would lose my honors, I was wasting myself.
I told her thanks for the concern but it really didn't change anything for me. I didn't need honors to know I was smart. I knew I was smart so it didn't really matter. I cheated. I got caught. Malas ko. Not the end of the world. Don't pity me. I don't want sympathy.
I didn't think my adviser was too happy. But didn't really care.
But the pitying looks I got. Gaaaahhh! That truly pissed me off.

And please, I wouldn't place her cheap Avonesque cosmetics on my feet. I'm much more high maintenance than she thinks.
