A Commitment Made

Each marriage is a commitment. Heck, every relationship is a commitment, a pledge to stick it with another, through thick or thin. It is a vow to be present when you promise to do so. It is an obligation you must fulfill because simply, you promised. Now when a client avails of our services, some of them have requests. We accommodate as much as we could, but we politely turn down some if we sincerely cannot promise to be able to give them what they are asking for. Gabby and Laurice personally asked if I can be at their wedding, not to shoot but just to be there. I said I will try, but I cannot promise. Come wedding day, I showed up to their delight. Commitments...they are to be made. Here is what Laurice shared with us a day after their wedding: Thank you so much for being there yesterday. To be honest, I was relieved the moment I saw you and I felt so happy. I knew we will be in good hands and I was right. Your whole team has extended full support to capture our moments. Thank you so much! .......... .......... Once again, thank you for helping us in capturing our great moments yesterday. Our event wouldn't be successful and happy without your team. I saw some photos on Arnel's camera and the shots are fantastic. Doc's professionalism is also outstanding. It was really nice working with you. Sincerely, Laurice

An Image Per Minute

It took 2 minutes to make these photos. Malen(our Branch Manager at SM Batangas) and her daughter were cordial enough to let me take their photos at lunch break in the office. This is our 2 minute collaboration.

Respect for Others

This is a book that I got last Christmas at Amazon for a whopping amount of $1.00! Yup, that's less than Php 50.00 and shipping was actually 4 times as much, but its a good read so spending roughly a meal and a half at Mcdonalds is still a huge bargain. The book title says a lot: "AS I SEE IT." We have to realize that we are all different, and one persons opinion cannot be the same as the other so acceptance of this fact is necessary. We have to learn how to respect others for how they see life, and just work on finding a good balance on how to work on things. Somehow, its quite similar to how we work in the event coverage industry. The ideal is to find clients who appreciate and respect our work and service. For the number of people who greatly love our products and services, there are also others who don't like it and that's fine. Such is life. Respect, its a word that we all have to practice every day.

Happy Valentines Everyone! It's All About Passion!

A valentines day greeting to everyone! Love and passion go together...for when you love someone, you have to be passionate about making sure that that person is loved. When you love your work, again you have to be passionate about making yourself better at what you are doing. Valentines...Love...Passion!

The Beauty of the Philippines

There used to be a TV Ad of Philippine Airlines years ago that goes...the beauty of the Philippines, shining through...Truly, our country is an amazing place. We have to do our share in promoting it and being proud of it.

Love Manila

If foreigners can exclaim their affection for our country, shouldn't we as Filipinos do more? Just a thought I wanted to share. Have a good day, everyone!
