This is also true for the wedding songs. As we all know, wedding songs set the general mood and tone of the wedding ceremony or reception, while allowing the couple to express their feelings through music.

Wedding songs are now grouped into so many categories from the wedding rites up to the wedding reception. We have the processional wedding songs, recessional wedding songs, wedding vows and unity candle songs for the wedding ceremony. And for the reception, we also have the father-daughter wedding songs, mother-son wedding songs, the first dance wedding songs, the bouquet toss wedding songs, cake cutting wedding songs, wedding dinner songs, the garter toss wedding songs and of course the wedding party songs.

We have compiled a list of 100 most popular wedding songs in various categories from the song lists submitted to us by our clients that will undoubtedly make your wedding a day to remember!

I found the city very clean, peaceful, safe, no street children and “taong grasa” (vagrant). No trafic jam even during rush hours. People are disciplined too, and you don’t need to go to country sides to find forests – yes, rain forests are present even beside the downtown proper. Amazing.

And here is the best part. As every city has its own squatters, Kota Kinabalu has its own, too. Only that their squatters are more decent and more fortunate than the urban poor in the Philippines. But I also noticed that they don’t have Forbes Park. This means Malaysia’s  gap between the rich and poor is not that extreme compared in the Philippines .

Thanks to Beatrice Peter and Alex Chan for the city tour the day after the wedding. And also to Azmie, who brought us to a local resto that offers Malaysian food at its best. We’ll not forget the special dinner too hosted by Evelyn Charlie and husband. Nightlife at CEO bar was an unforgetable experience too. When you go to KK, it’s a must to visit CEO Bar.

A local resto in the city.

During the conversation with Doods Eduarte, Programs Services Specialist and I would say that she is one of the best Associate Producers of News and Current Affairs of ABS-CBN I have worked with. She was surprised that the entries were actually very good considering that these are produced by neither non-broadcast nor professional video producers. I agree with her.

My talk was on Video production and video blogging. I shared with the student journalists and professors my expert opinion and practical advice on pre-production, shooting and video editing techniques. Since they are campus journalists, considering that they may have or not have professional equipment, I also included talk on vlogging using camera phone, uploading to the web and optimizing the post with simple story and title.

Thanks to Ms. Nick Wilwayco, Manager of Online Services/e-Publishing of the Public Affairs Group of Smart Communications Inc. for believing that working with me was an invaluable learning experience for the participating young writers.

Here is my presentation.

Go to Reality Wedding Video for the full story and the videos.

The instructional video was shoot with the technical experts from Thailand. The DVD is composed of 4 instructional videos featuring Elephant SmartBoard, Elephant SmartWood, Roman Tile and Shingle Roof Ayara. The video is intended for marketing and trainers’ training material.

Today, as videos are getting easier and easier to share on line, producing instructional/technical training videos is beneficial to your company, in my opinion; this is even more relevant rather than producing a company profile AVP and/or accomplishment report AVPs.

A clip of the video will be posted soon at pinoyhowto.com website.

In this video, Janette Toral and Manuel Quezon III talks on how blogging in the Philippines grew into a very diverse and vibrant Blogging Community nowadays.

Jayvee Fernandez, Gail Villanueva Arbet Bernardo and Markku Seguerra share their experiences as part of the organizing committee and how the awards are getting bigger and bigger along not only with the number of categories, but the number of sponsors as well.

Here are the winners of the 2009 Philippine Blog Awards.

Just like last year, we are the official video coverage of WordCamp Philippines. Aside from event highlight video, we will be producing how-to videos from the topics discussed in the camp.

Among the topics discussed were:
Wordpress Family by Beau Lebens
WordPress in the Wild by Markku Seguerra
A quick look into the Mozilla community by Seth Bindernagel

Kamlesh and Manju on the other hand had this idea to change the typical Indian wedding reception a bit by incorporating the love story wedding video for the dances and production numbers. The videos were used as introductions for all the performances.
