If you happen to be watching “Ang TV” and “Gimik” and some ABS-CBN shows at least during our teens then you’ll probably recognize the guy. Yeah, he’s getting hitched! Anyway, I would like to share some pre wedding photos of Kristopher Peralta and Carla Angkee.

Last July 20, 2008, my daughter Gabe celebrated her 7th birthday at Oasis. Initially, Tey and I really don’t want to put on a party for her since we thought that it would be impractical nowadays and just wanted to treat her a travel out of the country instead. But since this is a once in a lifetime event and she’ll only turn 7 once, we opted for a party. With flower, bees and butterfly theme, Tey did all the planning for this event.

We just want to thank all who helped us put on an amazing party for her. Cecilio (for the gown), the Make Up Studio Team (for the pre birthday pictorial makeup and styling - props to Aaron for the make up on the day itself), Erron of Imaginenation Beyond (for the pre-bday photos), Jong (for the studio use), Emily Uy (Sugarbox - for the very lovely cake!), Jeanne Go (Balloon Corner - for the wonderful Balloon setup), Joel F. (party photos), Bryan (party photos and AVP), MG Digital Video family (for the kick-ass onsite video), Marvin & Jacky (PJ’s Party World for the entertainment and magic show), Fabfoto Booth (onsite photo souvenirs), Printed Matter (for the cutee invites) and to Hizon’s (for the SUPER SUPER delicious food)

And of course to my wife, for conceptualizing every little bit of details.
