Tingzon-Sambrano Wedding

As you may have read on my previous entries I had a wedding to shoot this last weekend. I prepared ahead of time for this one because I know like all the unions I shot before the day was going to be long. Michael Olino of oleerakamolee.multiply.com was the lead photographer for this gig and the call time was a little earlier than usual. Why you ask?! I had to go from QC to Bacoor, Cavite for this particular one and oh boy I was in for something good!

I haven't met the couple personally since I didn't shoot the prenup; but I saw their photos already like a week ago. To tell you the truth... I envy couples that are getting married, this one in particular was 15 years in the making. I overheard their stories from family members when we were resting. Imagine that... I can't even get a girlfriend to last more than three years and these guys are together 5 times what I can do. Amazing! Just amazing! It was just fate!

The bride and her family was very busy preparing for the day and everyone was in line for hair and make up. I got to talk to their grandma (that really looked young for someone her age) and had a few things discovered about their relationships. Things were not as they seem a few years ago but it turned out okay. They talked, became so close and inseparable ever since. God must have put these guys together for something good because they were all there to celebrate Ramon & Yvonne's union. I saw something special from a third person's point of view. I was glad to be part of this shoot, pardon me for saying this but these guys are crazy... they really know how to have fun!

After preparations, we went to the church and got out shots. It was raining hard outside but it was short and much like a blessing. When we got to the reception even some of their games and presentations were really fun. I specifically enjoyed the dance their relatives prepared for them at the end of the evening. Imagine a whole family dancing... from a kid to their folks... I know I couldn't do that for fun. Let alone to be witnessed by many. They are a great couple... it added to how great their families are.

To Mon and Yvonne, here's to you and your family! Wish you guys the best things life can offer!

Daily Moo's 10172010

I am currently alone in the office with no one. I can't even see the guard from where I am and the room is so big. I wonder if the ghost they were telling stories about would appear for me. That would be a sight to behold! LOL

They said it was a kid running around but to tell you honestly I didn't see one here. I'm clairvoyant and I've seen ghosts at home, aside from that and the hauntings I had in the past I could see some in other places but not in the office. I know, you can say I'm weird but I was also a skeptic like you... when I saw one and even touched me I freakin believe them now! Go ahead and do it if you want to... invoke spirits and they will surely come!

Anton of Pusangkalye.net just invited me this Saturday for an event in MOA. I hope I can be available by then... I'm crossing my fingers though and I hope I don't have to do photography stuff that day. =)

I'm listening to news on a halo halo radio I bought from Chowking a few months back. I bought gold eveready batteries for this and it hasn't gone out yet. It's pretty cool for emergency days like this. I bought something good... FINALLY!

@gasolinedude is around town from SG. He met with Glentot aka wickedmouth.com and Steph of traveliztera.blogspot.com, apparently he's on a tight schedule so he won't be able to go on weekends to meet the rest of us. At least he got his way meeting Steph coz I guess he's got a crush on her hehe XD Jepoy likes her too but they won't admit it. My blog my rules kapish? LOL
Jepoy is sick. I wish he's okay. Hope he's fine. He got hugged by steph this evening. That'll get him cured in no time! LOL

The super typhoon is about to hit Luzon where Metro Manila is. It's a little up north so we shouldn't be worried. It's raining a lot though. People are afraid it's going to be the same as Ondoy. There are classes tomorrow though, only Regions 1 and 2 have em suspended. It hasn't stopped raining there since yesterday and boy the winds are carrying roofs and uprooting trees now. Hope everyone is going to be safe. Wear condoms! LOL

I need to finish the photos now. See yah wouldn't wanna be yah! =)

Loving City Breaks!

I'm so happy when the weekend comes. I think it's because I get to take a break from work and do photography. I'm getting pretty serious about it too so I go out of town to private functions, fashion shows and a little rest and recreation. To tell you honestly I haven't gone out for a while and never went out of the city like I used to. That's why I need cheap city breaks every now and then. I guess you need to see local sights first if you haven't been there. I found out pretty late that I need to do this just like what other countries have been doing in the past decade or so.

I noticed that the landscape and culture changes if you get into another city. I wanted to study in London a couple of years ago and this was the same thing that was on my mind. They have real good places to go to and it's quite easy to get from one spot to another. I'd have to work and start over though but life is indeed a little better there. I'm still optimistic that I can go there for a vacation. Maybe if I can get in and if the time comes that ill visit my brother in Ireland; I'm surely going to drop by a couple of cities in Great Britain. That's not even far behind from my plans and I'm crossing them out on my list one by one. I'm going there but if I do I'd tour the whole country without hesitation. Ill just take pictures and tell you the tale of the good looking guy that went on his great journey to discover the sights and sounds of a glorious country. Would you do the same if you were on my shoes?! Have you gone to the best places in your part of the world?!

Missing X

I was doing post processing this morning when a funny text arrived from an unfamiliar number, it didn't register to me until I read parts of it...

"Hey, I know its been a long time. I really didn't think about the things I told you when we parted. I want you to know I understand why you got mad. I miss you."


I'm kinda okay with that but after not talking to me for 7 months, 23 days, 6 hours and 24 minutes you just come and barge into my life like this again? so I said this...

"Who u?! "

Then she answered...

"Si XXXXX to... how you doin babe?!"

Then I texted back...

"Ha?! (O_o)?"

She said,
"Uyy sorry na, alam ko kasalanan ko naman eh..."

I said...

"Don't worry, I turned out okay... you might as well go talk or text someone else I'm kinda busy..."

she answered..

"Alright... sabe ko nga wala kang time..."

Then I never replied.

After everything that happened she probably wanted to reconnect. I didn't want that ex become friends thing she wants to happen... I believe if I was the one who was wronged then I'm going to tell em I'm okay. Things are getting complicated and hard between her and me and I'm remembering things I'm not supposed to. But really I wanted to do this...

In the back of my mind I think I missed my X, but I won't fall for the same thing again. I did my part, tried to save it all. It didn't work so let's just all get on with our lives ok? You are apparently reading my blog anyway. Hope you get the picture!
