after 6years and 7months, I’ll be saying goodbye to GXS … the company that has contributed a big part of my growth both professionally and as a person that I am right now, mainly because of the support of friends and peers … well, lets just say its time to move and sail to a new journey over the horizon

anyway, found this video on my archives which was taken December of 2004 … the video was produced by us for our Christmas party presentation mainly because the majority in our group will not be able to make it to the party due to support work … to all ex-GXS’ians and to those remained to this day, hope this brings good memories to the golden years of GXS

For some weird reason, I feel like typing my day away so blogging … here I come! Kidding aside, just wanted to share some more wedding pics with you (Tia Tame’s wedding … also known as Stella).

Note: Steve hasn’t processed the pics yet and so these are a bit raw.

The Gown

(more…)

I’ve always been wanting to curl my hair.  Mother dearest has always been against it.  But somehow the winds changed when I suggested it again (though of course she has no control over what I do with my hair, I just wanted her approval). Perhaps it was the influence of Kim Chiu in the TV Series “My Girl,” that she allowed me to perm my hair.  Don’t know how long this would last but I’ve had it for two weeks now.  As long as I don’t comb it, it would last longer (stylist’s advice).  Hahaha!  I love it because no matter how hard the wind blows, I don’t have to comb my hair.  I just shake it out.  It’s unruly and fluffy so it somehow compensates my already limp and lifeless straight hair.

Of course I took a picture of myself.  Vanity vanity … bwahahaha!

There’s been a lot of clamour to have some wedding pics posted. Unfortunately Steve and I didn’t have the time yet to post it but here are some highlights of the wedding day:

1. Beautification started at 730am at L’Fisher hotel. Yep, bridesmaids were included too.

2. Pre-wedding pictorials took place at 11am.

3. Wedding at 2ish pm.

Highlights:

- Wedding took place at St. Jude Church.

- The entire entourage waited for the bride at the altar while she marched down the aisle.

- The bride entered the church in a gust of smoke. Yep, literally speaking, may smoke effect pa ang pagpasok ni Tia Tame.

4. Reception at Sanctuario soon after

- The sounds of the drums heralded us from afar.

- It was truly a beach theme from the entrance of the welcoming drummers (don’t know what to call them) to the facade of a boat with a beach chair.

- The entire place was of under the water theme too! Complete with the reflection and all. The cake is not to be left unnoticed, it was truly beachy (pardon the pun). It was really great!!!!

- The highlight of the entire thing was the first dance. Really never expected a choreographed dance from Tia Tame and Noel. But what surprised everyone was midway through their ballroom dance was the street dance moves they pulled on us. I was half-scared and half-cheering for Tia Tame as she did her street dance given the three-inch heels and the heavy gown she was wearing.

- The night ended with three bands playing for the guests. It was really fun to see the guests dancing and enjoying the night with the newly weds.

I’ve posted some of the pics. Enjoy! More pics to follow once Steve or I find time. (more…)

finally we arrived at Polaris resort and we’re all hungry and all we could ever think of that time is pancit-pancit-pancit, hahaha … also, never order your dinner which is about 3hrs to be served if you’re really hungry as we ended-up ordering more than what we could muster, hahaha … though syempre Fred, Mitch, and I were havin a great time swimming on the table, hahaha

Bangui Windmill

after our lighthouse experience in Bojeador, we went to the Bangui windmill … twas pretty kewl sight indeed but I think its beauty would flourish more during sunset … anyway, I renderd a sunset effect on PS and hope its kewl, hehehe … really wished that I brought with me a flash that time as I left it in my bag coz it feels like 100m away from the shoreline to the van as well as the sand is finer which makes it harder to go back and get it, hahaha (in syort, tinamad!!! haha)

(more…)

ok, as promised here’s my next post, hehehe … t’was a long 12hrs and a bit heavy ride on the bus goin to Laoag but I guess twas more ok than our trip to Saga which was quite more challenging esp with the zigzag-road and cliff to scale, hahaha

Currently, I’m playing with my MAC’s IMovies since the look and feel is different after Steve installed a new version.  The templates in the old version are nowhere to be found too! huhuhu.

I’ve played around with my cousin’s pictures (to be shown at the reception) and included a background music of Lea’s song, Two Words.  I’ve focused mainly on the timing and ensuring that I’ve included the more important pics she shared with me.

Enjoy my test video..
