I really like the quote from the priest during the mass. He said, "Marriage can be likened to a ride. Sometimes it is like a car and sometimes it is like a rollercoaster." And this wedding was a roller coaster ride for me. You can't predict when technology will fail you. Read more about my experience this day after the video.




I was about to install Premiere CS5 in newly formatted laptop and unexpectedly, the installer i bought was corrupted. Good thing, one of our videographers has an installer for Premiere CS6. When I installed it, another error came up. Accordingly, the installer is also corrupted. So he has to go back to the office and get another installer which is still downloading in the office.

For the second time, we tried to install Premiere CS6 and it was a success. I started to edit the SDE until we reached the church. When we're about to go to the reception, i realized the laptop was not charging. We tried to troubleshoot it at the reception venue but the battery was draining low. There is no time to transfer all the files and use the other laptop we have. We tried to use the other power cord and it still doesn't charge. This is the first time a problem like this happened. We lost hope and said to the coordinator that i cant continue editing andthere will be no SDE today coz the the laptop was broken.

Then, Trebor thought of going to PC 911 and maybe they can help us. I was anxiously waiting at the reception thinking of other ways so i we can have an SDE today. The guys at PC911 only asked if there is another power cord of the same brand. They used the power cord of the other laptop and surprisingly the laptop recognized it. We we're wondering why it didn't work a while ago. And so, Trebor went back to the reception area and i continued my editing. I finished a little late because of the wasted time but we managed to come up with this SDE. Whew! We almost didn't have an SDE! What a crazy day!

Catholic weddings don't usually permit couples to have their vows customized. I'm happy that many of the weddings we cover have them which makes their SDE more personalized. Louie and Alelie are a jolly couple and you can see in their smiles how truly happy they are in their special day. Alelie even gave a song during her vows as you can see in the SDE. Enough spoiler, just watch this video produced by the Trebor Z team.

The music is a modern classic mid-90's love song popularized by Irish band, The Corrs. The couple picked the soundtrack for their onsite video (SDE). Lots of glides in this one :D Best Wishes to the couple!

Church: Sta. Maria Church
Reception: Marcian Garden Convention Center

During our Manila-Pampanga Trip last month, we had time to visit one of the oldest places in the Philippines, the Intramuros. It is known as the "walled-city" built during the Spanish Colonial Period. We went there via taxi from Pasay and entered through the western gate. The first thing we saw is the fire department at the left and a bank at the right. Then there was a plaza and right across is the magnificent Manila Cathedral. We stopped at plaza in front of the cathedral and took some photos and entered the church to see what's inside. Here are some of the photos we took. More after the jump.

The first room to the right contains this mama Mary altar and the "La Pieta" sculture (below).

This is a replica of Michaelangelo's famous sculpture "La Pieta" showing the body of Jesus in the arms of his mother after his Crucifixion.

The heirarchy of archdiocese in the Philippines.

Let the photo tell the story in this one...

The grandeur of the cathedral from afar.

Goin to the next place to visit i took a photo of the paved road. :D
