Sta Cruz Island is such a beautiful place that Zamboanga should really be proud of. The pink sand, the sun, and blue waters make it a paradise away from home. After a day of fun, we decided to walk to the eastern part of the beach where lies a burial site of the early settlers of the island. It was so surreal looking at the little carved boats and human figures. These photos were taken with a Samsung SII phone. :)








 


 

 

God will make a way to make two hearts meet when they're meant for each other. He created people with a better half and someday they will find it and share one love. Rofel and Roree were destined to be together and in this special day, they chose to fulfill God's plan. Rofel is a handsome groom. And from the message that he gave to his bride, it looks like he knows it too. Roree at her most special day of her life, was very thankful for everyone who made her feel so much loved. Her walk along the aisle was tear-jerking and the groom can't hide his feelings on that very special moment. Check out the highlights of Rofel and Roree's wedding below.

Here's a very special wedding beyond language, religion, and race. Sam is Arabic and works as a sous chef in a prestigious hotel abroad. And Shelane has a pure Zamboanguena beauty. They finally tied the knot and exchanged their vows here in Zamboanga. It was such a fun-filled and emotional wedding Mr and Mrs Kasdallah.

DeviantArt.com has been my source of inspiration and way to share my artworks online. It keeps me updated with the latest styles, designs and works of art of different kinds of artist, from traditional to digital artists. I also get my resources there like brushes, shapes, patterns, textures, and stock images which are free. The only rule is to credit the owner once you will post your work using their resources. I've been a member of the site for five years already and there were just few members back then. I have posted many works and the best thing are the comments of people around the world. Some comments are harshly negative but most are appreciative and constructive.

Now, the site has become a social network where people can be friends and exchange critiques and join activities such as polls, contest and exchanging of llama badges. Awesome, right? Being a member, there are also ranks, from being an ordinary member to a  premium member, to super administrator and gallery moderators. But for most members, the biggest accomplishment is the recognition of your works. The number of faves, pageviews and comments are usually the basis to see the status of your gallery or art work. Everyday, the administrators choose a set of outstanding works and feature it in a special gallery called the "Daily Deviation". If you want to be inspired everyday but you have limited time, this is the place to go.

Recently, i posted my poster design for a contest called Animahenasyon 2013, the Philippine Animation Festival. It's a steampunk-themed poster named "The Engine of Perpetual Motion". My friend, Jude, who also joined the contest, is a very active member of the site and suggested it to be a part of the daily deviation for October 7, 2012. And fortunately, it was accepted! I just had my first daily deviation in 5 years and im really happy to have this recognition. :D We're still waiting for the results of the poster design contest which will be announced on the closing program in this year's festival. I'll be goin there with my fellow Ateneans who are joining the Animation contests.

Thanks again to Jude ^JCROXAS and ^princepal for the DD!

For almost half a month of no weddings, im back in my game last friday. In this particular SDE, i was really focused on choosing my clips properly. We had a meeting with the Trebor Z Team prior the wedding and they pointed out that i should avoid "dirty" shots. Those are clips with photographers or shooters in the frame or unnecessary mess in the background. I should also avoid shots with overexposed skies but with the help of a little color grading, i can still work them out if there are no other choices. Anyways, here's the wedding video of Miko and Jhey. Check out the beautiful starry ceiling by Elvin Sagun and the new 3d logo of Trebor Z at the end.

Here's a simple video invitation or Save-the-date i made in Adobe AfterEffects. The coordinator told me that the theme is somehow Japanese-inspired so I used falling cherry blossom petals for the background.

This wedding is very special to me because it's the wedding of a close high school friend of mine, Isabeau. She has always been the mature type of lady who knows what exactly she wants in her life. She's very intelligent and she's a good speaker. She's always be remembered as our leader as she was the elected president of the student government during our last year in high school. But for me she's always be my good friend who is always there to listen and give advices to us friends.

I'm so happy to see her on her wedding day and see her in her beautiful white gown with a smile on her face. Her eyes glistened and i know she truly found her better half in Jon. As she proceeds to the new chapter of her life, here's the wedding video that will remind us of one of the most precious days of Isa's life.

This has got to be my best SDE so far. The Trebor Z team were hired by the couple just to do another SDE. Yes, they already hired a team to do their wedding video. We learned that the other video team was from Manila that they booked during a Wedding Expo. Our SDE's were shown back to back in the reception and we're just happy that we did our best. Thanks to Vista de Lente for lending us some of their lenses to make this video more beautiful.

I'm still in Manila for my birthday weekend escapade. It's a gloomy morning and Wella and I decided to take a dip in the condo's swimming pool. It's a nice pool with the buidings surrounding it.


The water was cold and relaxing. :)




We went to Market! Market! for some shopping




Brunch at Tokyo Tokyo. I was craving for California Makis


Sumo Tempura and Teriyaki! Yum yum!


We went back to the condo to get some things. On our way, we passed by the Mind Museum. We found this cute sticker bomb.


Walking in the streets of BGC is so nice


Rusty sculpture at Mind Museum






90 degrees of fun!


It was so windy...


We went back to Market! Market! and had some snacks. Milk tea at Happy Leaf. I missed this mini donuts called Orbits. So goood!


Then, we went to Bonifacio High Street.


I really want this planner by Paulo Coelho so Wella bought it for me as a birthday present. Thanks Wengst!


We had dinner at Fiesta Market, the food court of Market! Market! I didn't like their service but we're getting hungry..


Risa and Janek met with us for dinner.




Wella was craving for Gelatissimo ice cream. So expensive.


Gotta choose wisely.


We had this. I think its cookies and cream.


We passed by a book store and messed around with these book covers. Great idea, right?


I love the one in the right. It's very proportional and we look almost the same.hehe


Met with college buddy, Nhords, who is now a singer in Manila. We also met her boyfriend, Andrew, whom we had a good chat all night.

And so, our day ended with good conversations and full stomachs. We headed back to the condo and packed our stuffs. We went to the airport at 2AM.


Wella, very tired from a long day.


:)


We're back in the Zambo, and im 22!




Thank you Lord for this very beautiful and metaphorical sunrise!
