BEEJOWWW!

If there is one piece of advice I can give to single folks, boyfriends&girlfriends, and anyone who wants to get married in the future, it's this: TAKE LOTS OF VIDEOS TOGETHER. Not photos, but VIDEOS. Ummm, but only PG-13 footage, please!!! Remember, your lolos and lolas will be there on your wedding day. You don't want to be the one to give them a heart attack with too much labing-labing in the videos! Haha.
My husband PJ takes more videos than photos (just with the digital camera) and I used to absolutely HATE it whenever he'd shoot me!! Dunno why, but unlike him, I just don't like being in front of the camera. And then for our wedding, we (secretly) had a Video Battle. Secret, because it was a private competition on who could come up with the most creative/most entertaining video that was going to be played at our reception. He did these fancy layered voice-overs for his video, with a cheesy speech that made most of the girls go 'Aww' (including my own mom!), so, fine, I kinda lost on the "sweetness" factor. But in terms of visuals, HAH! I think it's my game right there.
Anyway, it wasn't until I was doing my video (thank heavens for iMovie!) that I realized how thankful I am to have so much footage of the two of us! A lot of it is from our local out-of-town trips and our trip to Thailand and Malaysia. You'll even see me whining in the video when I find out that PJ was filming me when I burst into "Part Of Your World" (from Disney's Little Mermaid) in the Aquaria walk-through. Ummm...how can you NOT sing that song when you're there???? Hehe :P
Here are my 'entries' for Battle Video on our Wedding Day. :)

I love Patterns. Waiting for the M train from Williamsburg to Soho.   Black bombers, gray sweaters, denim jeans and cameras around our necks! Haha didn't plan it, though! (Photo by Elaine)  ...

Call it corny and cheesy, but my best friends and I have had this mantra for many years now. Yes, we are as common as many bestfriend-ships are -- we talk to each other regularly on the phone, go s...
