01.30.11 - Stillshots of Love (Wedding Onsite Slideshow)

It was really sad that I missed most of the slideshow during the wedding (my apologies to Oly Ruiz and his Metrophoto team). It was a choice between pleasing my eyes and nurturing my emotions or saving my ready-to-explode bladder. I was able to catch bits of it though, and it made me want to watch more. It didn't help that Joyce told me how nice the pictures were when I got back from my bladder break.

Having said that, you'd probably know by now what I did as soon as I received a copy of it a couple of days ago...I watch and watched and watched. I never really grew tired of it (and probably wouldn't many years from now). It may have been 6 months ago, but heck it still feels like yesterday. The photos are lovely, capturing emotions I never really noticed during the wedding as I was so into the moment. And the song...well, I don't even know the title of that song until recently, but it keeps playing in my head now!

Anyways, enjoy this preview of our wedding memories! Will try and post more wedding pictures as soon as we sort out the best of the best from the 2000+ photos we got!

Thanks to Oly and his team for these beautiful photos!

READ: Presentation Zen Design by Garr Reynolds

Garr Reynolds is probably my favorite authors when it comes to presentation design. His books gave me a different take on how presentations should look like to keep the audience in the edge of their seats and interested. I enjoyed his first book, Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery and so I thought I'd get his second book, Presentation Zen Design: Simple Design Principles and Techniques to Enhance Your Presentations.

Unlike the first book, which touch based on design concepts and effective delivery, Presentation Zen Design focused on a more technical aspect in designing slides/presentations. If you have questions like, 'Which fonts are best to use?' or maybe 'How to use images or graphs?', then this book would be a great guide. As with his first book, this one also has a lot of great samples that are simple but eye-catching and fresh-looking. After reading Garr's two books, I upped my standards on slide presentations.

Unfortunately though, I couldn't seem to find this book anywhere here in Philippines so I ordered one from Amazon and it cost me around P1,500, inclusive of shipping (had it shipped to a Johnny Air site and then Johnny Air delivered it here). In case one would be interested to get out of the usual bullets from Powerpoint, this book should be a great starting point.

What's your guess?

The bet is ON! Joyce is guessing that Little One will be a girl, while I'm betting on a boy.

What do you think?
