Morning Hills

I was given a chance to go with a pre-nuptial shot at Bojol.

Though ive been there a number of times, but this experience was different.

Together with Charis and Paul Calo, we took the 10p - 3am boat (San Ramon de Bohol).

When we reached Bohol, we then started the photo shoot.

 

At Baclayon Church. We had our breakfast at the front of the church

  

One of our stops. In red - Doc Mark and Meann. Funny brother of dokie Athan at the passenger side of the elf. Charis making a funny face.

  

The other side of me that i have suppressed for a while now. Finds her avenue to let loose.

Random Shots: What goes on at the back of the elf. Kicking our way to Panglao Bohol. Man Forest.

All is well that ends well. After the 12-hour round Bohol shoots, the lovely couple reserved us a room in the VEST pension house in Bohol (the name is literally VEST). We missed the 1st trip back Cebu as we were still deep asleep. We just catch the noon trip as we were also hooked up with a movie in the Cable TV.

Thanks again to the wonderful and lovely couple Dockie Mark and Meann for giving us a great time of work and pleasure.

Excited for the big day!! C Ya!

Butchoy+Aimee

Wackiest Couple so far..Butchoy and Aimee had me on the fly. Helping them out on their wedding was so much fun - they never failed to surprise me. Here is one sample:

Ainz: So, do you have bridal car already or you want me to help you look for one? So i can also arrange with the florist.
Butchoy: No problem with the car already. We are planning of buying a car, Vios.
Aimee: So what you think Ai is a good color we can use for the wedding?

I was like, WOW! I wish it would be that simple for us also. Although, the car delivery did not make it to the wedding day (it took awhile to decide for the color), but I'm so happy for them. Congrats for the new car!

Even if the wedding day falls on a weekday, the team still managed to wake up at 3am, all full gear for the ceremony at 930am. With the couple's          cutie boys (Aaron and Owen), dressing up had never a duLL moment.                                                     Butchoy and Aaron

The lunch reception was another great experience. Thanks to my mom (my sis and hubby) who helped me out with the decoration. MCWD Social Hall is something i can recommend not just for weddings but social events. It has great sound system and can cater at least 500 people.

When we got home at 3pm, my mom and I pampered ourselves to a pedicure at nearby parlor.
To Butchoy and Aimee, you ROCK!! Keep the fun going!! and Thank You.

it's not over tonight
just give me one more chance to make it right
i may not make it through the night
i won't go home without you

"i know you want me...you know i want cha!"

Uno dos tres cuatro!!
then everything suddenly becomes a carousel as time turns for the special day of Chinky and Marco. i was just tapped by an officemate (Carla, pregnant at this time) when she was as well tapped by another officemate (Vivien) to help out her sis-in-law's wedding. being in this field already, Carla and I were both so excited! to add up to the excitement, we met the wonderful family of the bride and the couple themselves as they treat us to a sumptuous dinner at Cafe Laguna SM.

everything unfolds itself as we were warmly welcomed by each person within the couple's circle - from friends to family. as i was assigned at the ceremony, i tagged along my sis to assist, who unfortunately on that day had something going on in her stomach. though there were some minor glitches during the ceremony, but nothing seems to be beyond control. i was not really able to finish the whole reception as i have to leave my equally hardworking partner..but i did not miss the very entertaining presentation of the entourage and the memorable and meaningful surprise dance number of the couple.. they danced to the tune of Pitbull's "I know you want me.." when Chinky fell on the floor and Marco helped her out...the hosts reminded the audience..that in a marriage, when the other one falls, the other partner should always be there to help the other get up once again..
indeed it is..

P.S. I Love You (2007 Movie)

It's just recently i get to have a copy of this movie in my portable hard disk. One saturday, while i was alone at home, i watched it with the hope of rekindling those teenage years (for i din't know then the plot of the movie).

I was welcomed by a very familiar scenes of striving couple just wanting to get the best out of married life (rings a bell). When the husband (Gerry) made this hilarious dance, I was reminded of my own..and so i thought im in for a feel-good movie. The Sexy Dance of Gerry

Surprisingly, the movie suddenly became mournful when Gerry died.Then until the end of the movie i found myself crying as every effort of the dead husband unwraps just to make his widowed wife happy and move through life.

The movie has made me appreciate my marriage more, and more and more my husband.

Daniel Connelly: We're so arrogant, aren't we? So afraid of age, we do everything we can to prevent it. We don't realize what a privilege it is to grow old with someone. Someone who doesn't drive you to commit murder or doesn't humiliate you beyond repair.

"Sometimes a heart just needs to go...

...And there is so much I'll remember.." this is one of the songs during the couple's first dance. Upon their request, my husband & I have to browse through the net to look for Leann Rimes' "Looking through your Eyes".

Louise and Jonathan is a very adorable couple. I just met them through the web. The first meeting was still so vivid in my memory.It was at the traveller's lounge in SM. It then followed several meetings as we were tying loose ends for the big day.

With seems like a blink of an eye, June27 came. Like any other wedding, there are always things that seems to go wrong. Hey! They are not that bad though. They actually make a wedding more memorable.

On our way to the dressing-up location, we have to go back our way to go to the nearest couturier to borrow some wedding stuffs since the one has it could not come at the last minute. We have to provide sewing kits to Lola to do some minor alterations to some of the gowns.

Thanks to my very helpful assistants - Jose and Jonie. We were able to pull it through from reaching to the church on time to starting the reception on time. Thanks as well to the very dynamic host Nelson Judaya of Jollibee.

At the end of it all, when everyone had a good laugh and memories, the team had to stay longer in the place to look for missing USB and wait for the wandering TULLE.

After everything, the photos and memories remain in the PC CPU, DVDS, and in our brain STORAGE.

Enjoy the Honeymoon and Vacation Athan and Louise! MWAH!
