My older sister's wedding

Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. A love story that started 7 years ago is finally making their new chapter in life.

After how many months of planning and preparing for this occasion, the day has come (12/30/11) to witness and celebrate the most awaited wedding of Mira Mae Piamonte and Esario Daguman III.

I have to admit that I'm in mixed emotion. I am very happy and grateful about the things that was happening on my sister's life. A bit of sadness flew inside me because at one point, my sister will have it's own family na rin.. I am also excited of the fact that sooner in time, someone will be calling me 'tito' na.. hehe.. Nervous!! I'm next in line coz i'm not getting any younger already.. but not tooooooooo soon.. They we're actually teasing me already.. Give me 7 years. haha.!

The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds - they mature slowly.

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.

As the matrimony ends, their life's new chapter begins. May the blessings of God guide and enlighten this two hearts to become stronger each day.

Mira Mae and Esario Daguman, wedding shots.

Our journey to find love ends.. Our journey to cherish love begins..

Marriage is one in a lifetime moment for most of us. It is the eternal bond that witnesses the knot between you and your cherished one.

  

A part of you has grown in me. And so you see, its you and me together forever and never apart, maybe in distance, but never in heart

I take you as my partner.

I take you as my partner, my friend and my love.
My hopes and dreams will now be intermingled with yours.
I will seek to balance my needs with those of our community and family.
I will openly draw from our combined experience
and feelings in our search for truth and meaning.
I will strive for harmony through compromise and understanding.

I will be forgiving, but not complacent.
From this day forward, I take shared responsibility
for our marriage, family, community and myself,
regardless of our successes or failures.

I promise to be faithful and true to you in mind,
body, and spirit; to cherish you and respect you;
and to be a source of comfort and encouragement,
free and bound by our love, as long as we shall live.

Mira Mae Piamonte Daguman and Esario Daguman III, Congratulations.. 

My Birthday Present :)

The man who can't be moved - The Script guitar cover

This is my cover of The Script's famous single The man who can't be moved.




The man who can't be moved - The Script Lyrics
Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do
How can I move on when I've been in love with you

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I'm not moving
I'm not moving

Policeman says son you can't stay here
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/s/script-lyrics/the-man-who-can_t-be-moved-lyrics.html)
And you see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I'm not moving
I'm not moving
I'm not moving
I'm not moving

People talk about the guy
Who's waiting on a girl, oh whoa
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world

Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'Cause you'll know it's just for you

I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we meet
Oh, you see me waiting for you on a corner of the street

So I'm not moving
('Cause if one day you wake up, find that you're missing me)
I'm not moving
(And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be)
I'm not moving
(Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet)
I'm not moving
(Oh, you see me waiting for you on a corner of the street)

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move

Basic Photo enhancement on Photoshop

This will be a tutorial on how to basically enhance an image through photoshop. If you have a picture that lacks life in it then this simple and basic tutorial will help you improve the color of your image.

Let’s start of. I am going to show you how this picture

Original capture

Into something like this:

Enhanced Image Sample

It does have more life right? okay to start with, open your any versions of photoshop and select the picture you want to enhance with. Then on the lower right part of the screen under layers, drag the layer thumbnail to the 'create new layer' icon below. something like this:

This should be the outcome:

Notice that you now have two layer thumbnails under the layer options. Now you have the background copy of the image, let’s start enhancing the image.

The actual editing.

1st step: Change the Brightness and Contrast of your image. To do this, click on the black and white Circle on the lower right most of the screen.

Play along with the brightness and contrast level of the image until you get your desired preference. (refer to the image below)

2nd step: Repeat step 1 and select Vibrance. Play along with the vibrance level and the saturation level of the image. this fill will give a greener and a livelier effect on your image. (sample image below)

3rd step: Adding some retro effect on your image by filling gradient map (optional). i usually do this to add more beauty and color on the photo. here’s how to do it, again repeat step 1 and selectGradient Map. Now select combinations which you think will sooth to your image. I recommend the voilet-orange combination. add it to your fills. Then set its blending mode to Soft Light and finally reduce its opacity until it fully blends with the picture. (see image below)

and it’s DONE!! here’s the final outcome of the enhanced/edited picture.

feel free to ask questions. hope this helps especially to the newbies of the photoshop thing.

Super Bass - Nicki Minaj Lyrics
This one is for the boys with the boomin' system
Top down, AC with the coolin' system
When he come up in the club, he be blazin' up
Got stacks on deck like he savin' up

And he ill, he real, he might got a deal
He pop bottles and he got the right kind of build
He cold, he dope, he might sell coke
He always in the air, but he never fly coach

He a muthafuckin trip, trip, sailor of the ship, ship
When he make it drip, drip kiss him on the lip, lip
That's the kind of dude I was lookin' for
And yes you'll get slapped if you're lookin' ho

I said, excuse me you're a hell of a guy
I mean my, my, my, my you're like pelican fly
I mean, you're so shy and I'm loving your tie
You're like slicker than the guy with the thing on his eye, oh

Yes I did, yes I did
Somebody please tell him who the eff I is
I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up
Back coupes up, and chuck the deuce up

Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way

Entrepreneur niggas in the moguls
He could ball with the crew, he could solo
But I think I like him better when he dolo

And I think I like him better with the fitted cap on
{ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/n/nicki-minaj-lyrics/super-bass-lyrics.html }
He ain't even gotta try to put the mac on
He just gotta give me that look, when he give me that look
Then the panties comin' off, off, unh

Excuse me, you're a hell of a guy
You know I really got a thing for American guys
I mean, sigh, sickenin' eyes
I can tell that you're in touch with your feminine side, oh

Yes I did, yes I did
Somebody please tell him who the eff I is
I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up
Back coupes up, and chuck the deuce up

Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way

Porque - Maldita guitar cover

2 Frets down from the original tune.. so basically i used the original chords without the presence of capo at the 2nd fret.. nevertheless the pattern is the same.

Porque (Bakit) - Maldita Lyrics (Tagalog version)


Tulala lang sa’king kwarto
At nagmu-muni-muni
Ang tanong sa’king sarili
Sa’n ako nagkamali

Bakit sa’yo pa nagkagusto
Parang bula ika’y naglaho

Chorus:
Porque contigo yo ya iskuji
Aura mi corazon ta supri
Bien simple lang iyo ta pidi
Era cinti tu el cosa yo ya cinti
Ta pidi milagro, vira’l tiempo
El mali hace derecho
Na dimio reso ta pidi yo
Era olvidas yo contigo

Ang lahat ay binigay ko
Ngayon ay sising-sisi
Sobra sobra ang parusa
Di alam kung kaya pa

Wag nang lumapit
At tumawag pa at baka masampal lang kita
Di babalikan
Magsisi ka man
Ako ay lisanin

Porque contigo yo ya iskuji
Aura mi corazon ta supri
Bien simple lang iyo ta pidi
Era cinti tu el cosa yo ya cinti

Bakit ikaw pa ang napili
Ngayon ang puso ko ay sawi
Kay simple lang ng aking hiling
Na madama mo rin ang pait at pighati

Sana’y magmilagro
Mabalik ko
Mali ay maiderecho
Pinagdarasal ko sa’king puso
Na mabura na sa isip ko
