Brighter Than Sunshine

E.J. — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 10:53:25 +0000

I was finally able to meet up with George Vallo again last Friday. Our much-awaited church wedding video coverage (mostly by those who weren’t able to make it) is now out on DVD. We’ll be sending out copies soon.

Living that fateful day felt like I was watching myself from the third person perspective. The wife and I had a bit of a laugh trip in retrospect, watching one of the happiest days of our lives unfold on video. Here’s one of the chapters on our wedding video DVD below:

A Couple of Photo Albums

Greetings from Pila, Laguna! Our new, little family has been on a visit (vacation?) to Jam’s parents and sibs since Wednesday. They are all having a great time getting to know “the new guy” in the family.

I finally found/made some time to organize and upload “some” photos that have accumulated in the past month. Due for posting and sharing are:

Johann Raphael: Day 2 to Day 5 – Selected photos of Johann’s first few days while at the hospital, up until going home.

Johann’s Arrival AVP

E.J. — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 13:32:45 +0000

Here’s a video documenting the arrival of our son, Johann Raphael Angeles Padero – our beautiful, darling boy. This AVP photo-montage-music-video is a wonderful gift from its creator, RB, who chose the featured song, “Two Words” by Lea Salonga.

I remember first hearing Lea sing when she performed at my nursery school, back in the early 80’s. Incidentally, she happens to be one of Jade’s favorite singers.

Multiple attempts to upload the video on YouTube (still leeching off the free wi-fi access here at teh hospital) were taking too long, so here it is below, on MetaCafe instead. Enjoy!

This post was made possible by free Wi-Fi at the hospital and Czar’s new toy. Thanks, pare.

Heartfelt thanks to our parents, relatives, friends, everyone – for your well-wishes and show of support; and of course, to Dr-Tita-Ninang Ching Ilao-Oreta, Dr. Rene Berdan, Dr. Minette Reyes-Bautista and their excellent team at St. Luke’s Medical Center!

Our Church wedding took place two weeks ago from today.

While our official photographer, George Vallo, is still working on providing us with the photos that he and his crew took (and select about two hundred shots out of around two thousand!), a lot of photos taken by family and friends have started to pour in online.

Here’s a list of links to the ones that have been posted so far:
