navarre Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Looks nice, was the sea water warm? I only ask because whenever I visit the Meditteranean, the water is usually too cold to have a decent swim in. I believe the Phillipines is one of the only two (or three?) Christian countries in Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I always thought the Philippines was the only Christian country in Asia.... can't think of any other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mokong Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) *bumpage for video* None of the clips is footage from the professional video which we had done... cuz I don't have that yet, it's on the way, I might upload some of that at a later date. All these were from my own camera that my cousin was using, though he didn't record as much as I told him to, but I think I made a decent effort with what I got to work with. The Reception after the Church wedding was at Racsos Woodlands http://www.exploreiloilo.com/racsos-inland-woodland-resort.html Edited May 22, 2009 by Mokong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
