Wedding Montage

So my friends got married over the weekend and as a wedding gift, James and I decided to make them a wedding montage... just like what we made for the girls and family for xmas!

The only difference was this wasn't for family.. and we weren't being paid either!

We came through a couple problems..

1) We didn't have enough pics at first
2) we didn't get more pics until the week before the wedding
3) I lagged.. i mean lagged!

Anyhow.. it's always amazing what comes out the end.. when you start from scratch to a finish product.

My biggest concern was the reception we would get with the video. I'm always my worst critic and I always feel my work just isn't good enough. Much props to my bro though, because he was the one who put it all together. I just made one part of the slide show and printed the labels.. he designed the menu and alll...

anyhow.. to much our delight everyone at the reception LOVED THE VIDEO.. I mean loved it.. to the point were we're getting requests for more copies.. hahah...

Many have suggested we make this a business.. and yeah i'm sure we could.. just alot of work!

at work late and craving something sweet

Can someone bake this and send us all a sample? I got this recipe from Mary who got it from her friend Gladys and they claim it is the best! bibinka! ever!

American Bibinka
2 cups self-rising flour
2 cups whole milk (no lowfat/nonfat)
1.5 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 box philadelphia cream cheese (original)
1/4 cup butter (not margarine)
1 large aluminum roasting pan

heat oven to 350 degrees. mix flour, milk, sugar & eggs until blended w/ no lumps. pour into large aluminum roasting pan. bake for 10 minutes. meanwhile, cut cream chees into little squares. after 10 minutes of baking, take out cake & put cream chees squares all over top of cake. put cake back into oven & bake until toothpick inserted comes out clean (about 25 minutes). meanwhile melt butter. after cake is done, take out & put melted butter on top & sprinkle a little sugar on top of the butter. put back into the oven on the top rack & broil to brown the top, about 1 minute (you must watch closely b/c it will burn very quickly).

Maybe I will try making it this weekend but I would rather make the sweet rice/coconut milk/brown sugar dessert.
