God gave me a pleasant surprise last week... I got 2 emails from my couple.  One was getting married this Feb 23 and was inquiring how much it would cost if they asked me to cover their wedding in London on April 5.  And then the next email was form my bride for April 26. Apparently she and another couple of mine for Dec 18 was planning on getting me to do their prenup aswell and guess where... LONDON!  Here is the catch, the prenup needed to be done before April 10 as they were already flying back to the Philippines by then.

How cool is that??? Some may say its coincidence but when i read the 2 emails, i immediately remembered what I prayed for last year. I asked that God would take me around and let me do this thing i loved most doing... Shooting!  So what did God give me?

3 Boracay Weddings, 5 weddings & 8 Prenups in the USA, a wedding & 2 prenups in London...  Last year, I did more Boracay weddings, went to more cities around the Philippines plus a beach wedding in Malaysia.

Today, I got my VISA for UK! Which means.. tuloy na tuloy na!  I'll be leaving on March 31, will shoot my wedding on April 5 and do a prenup on the 6th...  I'll fly back on the 9th.

Where else do i want to go? Hmmm... New Zealand, Australia, Dubai & Our very own El Nido. In God's time...

"I have a confession... There was a time when i did not love my wife.  Yes, that time i did not love her one single bit. You know when that time was?"

"When? The time i did not know her yet!"

So many people claim to love God, but do not know God...  Some people would say "Yes i know God" but how can they know God when they don't open their Bibles, pray nor reflect? Some haven't even gone to church.

It is possible not to love someone whom you know... but you CAN'T love someone you don't know.  Thats just ridiculous... and when you think you already know God, you haven't breached the surface yet. 

How do you know someone truly knows God? When you know God it is IMPOSSIBLE to not have a burden of spreading his goodness & grace.  Does you friend say he's read the bible 10x and attends bible studies? Check his lifestyle...

I remember last night while i was shooting the Garcia - Hong wedding in Sofitel, someone asked me "You've been shooting for over 12 hours, how come i never see you tire?" I replied "I don't tire because i Love what i am doing. I get paid for not working because shooting for me is not work".  Thats the same way i feel about God... Years ago, you can't even bring me to church, much more Evangelize... Now i can talk for hours about him.

Truly, from a person who used to party every night, dance in discos, hang out in bars and  drink till he drops, there is great (and better) Joy in knowing God! Read the bible and use it not for information but for Transformation...
