Danrey and Grace - Wedding

After much conviction and counsel, Danrey and Grace has finally agreed to tie the knot knowing and sanely aware that there is no turning back from this moment.

Congratulations to the two of them. =)

Of course, this is my share of photos for the event.

I came out with a self-proclaimed cool wedding quote whenever I am asked about weddings and imprisonment:

Ideally, you get married 3 times in your lifetime…

to the same person.

Hopefully, all the weddings I have participated in will be just like that.

Cheers!

Iruhin, Tagaytay Outreach

Got invited to play, perform, and minister to a Baranggay in Tagaytay. People were responsive and In His Presence Church was very accommodating.

If I’m not mistaken, 20 people have received Christ as their Savior and Lord. That’s good. That calls for 20 parties in heaven. Songs we performed were Love moves in mysterious ways, Deeply in Love, and another song I cannot remember now.

Concert approach was love. The different kinds of it. How dangerous, foolish, wonderful, and pure it is. The message was well received.

On the side, I seriously have to work on my shaky, nervous hands when performing on solo guitar. =( 

Much thanks to JD for having us over for dinner, Stephen and Kuya Noah for inviting us to perform. We had a great time in Tagaytay.

Young Pro Night out

I know it’s late. But what hasn’t been?

Arden Mopera Gallery in Trip Art Tight

Arden Mopera approached me yesterday in FCF thanking me for posting his works over my site. I’m glad and honored that it helped him somehow.

I didn’t expect my site would be number 1 once you search for his name on Google.

More blessings to you Arden and just continue to do what you do best.

The Trip Art Tight Gallery show has ended, but I’m sure his works are still available if you contact him. Otherwise, leave a comment in this post.

FCF Youth 101 and Sports Fellowship

2 consecutive events in Faith Christian Fellowship.

FCF Sports Fellowship is now officially starting this Saturday, 5pm in Marikina Sports Center. Learn how to kick ass the biblical way.

Youth 101 rocked. I am encouraged to see young talents pour it all out for God’s glory. We had special visitors from Holy Redeemer Christian (or was it Community?) Church (HRCC).

Just some highlights.

Eastmar Sportsfest 2008

note: I could not take pictures of every event. I wished I had a zoom lens. I accept donations.

note 2: For the meantime, I cannot afford to “share” the pictures too because people have not been taking my “link back” (neil.lolin.net) request seriously. So in order to protect my work and yourself from me, this is the best way I can do it.  If you want a copy, please feel free to contact me.

Call me “masungit”, “mataray”, “OA”, or whatever, I really don’t care. Generally, I am kind.

GENERALLY.

Ok, now that we’re done with that:

It was a blast. It was tiring. It was sweaty. It was hot. It was dirty.

We had some pretty good stats.

1st place:

• Basketball - Congrats to Marlon and Team!
• Pingpong - My sister played. Congrats Cess!

2nd place:

• Pingpong - I played, had the opponent from MFBC to 3rd set, I lost. 21-19. Sayang. If time allowed, I would have wanted another set since it was a round robin, but it wouldn’t be fair for me to be 1st since I lost to him on 1 best of 3 match
• Volleyball - Congrats to Beng and Team!
• Swimming - Congrats Sara!
• Games of the General - my cousin Rodell played. Congrats!
• Badminton (women) - Reyanne - Congrats!

I don’t remember the exact stats of the others. This is all I remember for now. Don’t get angry, I can only write what I know.

Missions Possible : FCF Youth Camp 2008

Faith Christian Fellowship recently held their Youth Camp where I got involved with.

The place is nostalgic since this was where EASTMAR held their youth camp 10 or 11 years ago. This is where my good friend Jai and his brother Jet met. We’ve crossed paths several years after that and we play together in one band  on several occasions.

These guys rocked. I have a HUGE gallery of pictures from the event. Resident musician and photographer still. Hehe.

Cats, Dogs, Beaches…and more.

Face the waves of reality: It’s not about you.

Faith Christian Fellowship recently held their 2008 Youth Camp with the theme “Missions Possible: Out of the Comfort Zone”.

I was able to join the camp, and it has been a fruitful one. Discussions centered on God’s global glory and was utilized using the “Cat and Dog Theology” program. It’s simple but important to take note of.

• Cat - my master takes care of me, he feeds me, he shelters me, he loves me. I must be God.
• Dog - my master takes care of me, he feeds me, he shelters me, he loves me. You must be God.

Of course it goes deeper beyond this simple definition.

I’m just grateful that my good friend Jojo has lead this awareness to our young people. I find it that orienting and educating Christian youth about the need for missions is not something to be overlooked. 180 Degrees does this through music and missions. Our church youth can start by praying or giving a portion of their allowances. Big things start small. It is their contribution to God’s greater glory.

God is a glory hog. No mockery intended. He simply deserves it.

More photos to follow. There’s just too many of them.
