My cousin, Brian just married his longtime girlfriend, Aimee. Aimee has been like a cousin to me for the past 13 years. Now, she's officially part of our crazy family. Errr... Aims, bawal na mag-back out. Welcome! Our family has had several weddings in the past few years, but Brian and Aimee's is the best we have witnessed so far. Why? It was a beautiful wedding even made more beautiful by their cheesy love story which has lasted for 13 (almost 14 years). Brian and Aimee became a couple when they were just 13 years old. They're both 27 now and both have never had any other relationship with other people. They are each other's first and last. TIBAY! On October 15, 2010 (as the feng shui calendar dictated), Charles Brian Jose Bonguyan wed Aimee Wee Go. I was supposed to write their vows, I did. But they both forgot to bring copies to the church. LOL! Here are their vows as I wrote it: Brian to Aimee: I have loved a lot of things in my life: GI Joes, cars and racing, photography, airsoft, wakeboarding, farming... but one thing remain constant in my heart, you. I have loved you…

I’m Giving Up My Christmas
I am celebrating Christmas, but instead of asking for gifts, I am asking my friends and relatives to donate money to My Charity Water Campaign. My aim is to raise $5,000 by January 1. I know it is a lofty goal, I probably won't reach it, but I believe it's worth a try. Watch this video to know why I'm giving up Christmas: $20 provides for clean water for a person for his entire lifetime. Imagine that. Just $20 to give another person a chance of having a healthy, dignified life. I hope you can support me on this one. Every dollar counts. You can donate through this LINK. Or you can help out by posting on Facebook, Twitter, Plurk, and other sites about my campaign. The link to my Charity: Water Campaign is at http://mycharitywater.org/giftcleanwaterforChristmas. Merry Christmas! :) This is a belated Blog Action Day post. ;-)
Brian and Aimee’s Wedding Vows Daw
I was supposed to write the wedding vows for my cousin, Brian, and his fiance, Aimee. While I finished and handed them the vows on time, they weren't able to use them for their wedding ceremony last Friday. I am sharing here the vows which I wrote for them. Brian to Aimee: I have loved a lot of things in my life: GI Joes, cars and racing, photography, airsoft, wakeboarding, farming... but one thing remain constant in my heart, you. I have loved you for more than half my life, through car shows, races, tournaments, businesses and careers, photo shoots, and events. Through joys and pains, through triumphs and failures, through ups and downs, through new ventures, hobbies, and passions, we remain constant with each other. You remain with me, by my side. Today I commit the rest of my life to you, to the family we will be having, and the life that we will continue to enjoy with each other. Today I wed thee, my first and last love, Aimee Go. Aimee to Brian: There are seven continents in this world. And five oceans separating them. I have been to a lot of places in those continents. I…
WordCamp Philippines 2010 Opening Remarks
I am still too tired to blog about my WordCamp Philippines 2010 experience but I would like to share here the Opening Remarks which I delivered to kick off the event held at the College of St. Benilde on October 2, 2010. After almost 11 months of planning, countless meetings, email exchanges, phone calls and SMS, we are finally here today. Mr. Matt Mullenweg, speakers, organizers, volunteers, campers, and guests, good morning and welcome to WordCamp Philippines 2010! WordCamp was conceptualized and has grown popular with the idea of building and strengthening the community of users and developers of WordPress. Through events such as this, users and developers learn new techniques, build networks with like-minded individuals, and come up with new and exciting ideas. With the vision of a bigger, better, more productive, and more interactive WordCamp Philippines, this year’s organizers, with two years of WordCamps under their belt, took on the challenge of offering something new and exciting to the Philippine WordPress community. Though some faces may seem the same, the Philippine blogosphere and WordPress community has changed a lot since WordCamp Philippines 2008. We had to think up of something fresh, unique, and exciting. In order to meet…
