Talented Family and Friends

2009-03-26T22:12:00.000-07:00

It's amazing to me that I am surrounded by so many talented people ... I can't believe how amazingly talented some of my friends & family are. Some of them have decided to turn their passion into businesses and I thought I'd give them a shout out here ...

Cue It Productions ... http://www.cueitproductions.com/ ... Mark Trinidad ... My Brother ...
Yes, he's family but he is so talented!! He started out doing wedding slideshows and birthday slideshows ... but he also does a lot of video filiming / editing.

I recently saw a clip of a wedding he filmed and the editing was AMAZING. I swear the first 2 mintues made me want to watch the rest. He wasn't finished with it yet so now I'm ooober excited to see how it's going to turn out!!

My brother is very talented and will give you so much care.

Oliver Bentley Photography ... http://www.ob-photo.com/ ... Oliver Bentley ... Our long time friend
He's a natural at what he does. It says he does automotive photography ... but he takes really AWESOME people pictures! He knows how to caputre the essence of the person ... check out his portfolio on his website and you'll see what I mean ... he's awesome and FUN!!!

Snorkel San Diego Scuba ... http://www.snorkelsandiegoscuba.com/ ...

So ... it's not a video/photography/wedding related .... but I had to mention this company! In case you're looking for something fun to do in San Diego ....

I know one of the owners of this company and she is so much fun! Margo is a fun person to be around. And the team of people behind this company LOVE what they do and it shows in all their videos.

Check out Scuba Diver Girls http://scubadivergirls.wordpress.com/ and you'll see a link to some videos they have posted! it also has links to more information about them.

I'm non-athletic, not a beach person and dipping my head under water freaks me out. But watching their videos make it look like so much fun!! and I WANT to get over my fears just so I can dive with them!

Weddings Make Me Happy

2009-03-25T20:39:00.000-07:00

I LOVE talking about weddings!! Does that make me sick in the head? Or am I just a typical girl? Not sure yet. haha .. but I LOVE it!

Two people in love and happy .... makes me happy. There is so much negative press on infidelity and unhappy couples these days. So when I hear that a couple is happy and in love .... it makes me happy.

Since I got married I feel like I'vpeople have been asking me a lot of questions about weddings. Most people say that our wedding was simple but elegant. thanks guys! It means a lot to us especially since we did most everything our selves.

I think what made it so effective was that everything was red... we used the same sparkly paper for everything ... the same ribbon and same flowers. Nothing fancy ... just consistent.

Gee and I collaborated on the designs for everything. I did the design for all the paper products (w/ Gee's approval) and Gee & my Mom came up with the centerpiece idea. EVERYTHING was printed off of our HP Injet Printer.

Many of the things were hand cut and assembled by me, Gee, my wonderful bridesmaids, and my parents! =)

here's some photos:

There's a leader in all of us ...

BFFs

2009-02-27T18:03:00.000-08:00

I was watching the preview to the next season of The Hills on MTV and I cried!

Watch it ...you might too.-->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPXC9oV224k

For those of you that care, it looks like Lauren and Heidi are going to be friends again. I knew they would. BFFs don't just stop being BFFs because of some guy.

I cried when Heidi was crying and Lauren was crying and Heidi said, "My favorite stories are my stories with you. My favorite memories are my memories with you." Then I started crying!

I'm am I lame or what?

I guess it just hits home because you realize how much your BFFs mean to you. I have two, Sharon and Kristine. We've all had our "moments" but through it all we've stuck together. Why? Because we're like sisters. We're family and that's what you do when you really love someone.

I love my BFFs!

I've watched my wedding video ....

that Right now ... I am sittin in a candle lit room by myself completely relaxed.

The Hubby is playing poker with the boys and I opted to stay home and chillax and concentrate on getting better.

Important things to do:
1) Thank You Cards
2) Laundry
3) Read the Excelsius User Guide

and that's it!

Right now ... I choose not to do any of them. Last year I had sooo much going on ... that right now .. I'm going to soak in this little bit of relaxation while I can get it.

Hello, I'm Cathy Lynn and I'm addicated to Google.

2009-01-08T22:34:00.000-08:00

About 2 or 3 weeks ago ... i created my first google account.

The first day I used it ... I hated it. I guess I was uncofortable with the idea that it was organized by "Conversation" and everything was grouped together. I fear I would miss emails. I had been using yahoo for almost 10 years and it was hard to break the mold.

so I deserted my gmail account and created a new yahoo account with my new last name in the email address. It started to fail on me ... i think it didn't like the period in "catherine.respicio" ... i was missing emails ... people weren't receiving emails. I was sad that I couldn't chat with my BFFs at work! LoL.

About a week ago I opened my mind and decided to give my gmail another shot. Now ... I'm in love with it. I love how I can keep better track of my conversations .... and how my email inbox doesn't look so clogged. I love the calendar and how i can make different calendars and make them different colors. I also love how my contacts & calendar sync really nicely to my Blackberry with the use of a tiny gmail mobile app. I've been searching for something easy like that.

I heart Google.

I don't even know how many blogs I've started then cancelled. Maybe this one will stick because it so accessible? Don't know.

But the reason why I started this blog was an outlet to just write. Random thoughts often rush through my head and I wish I could right them down and share them with the world... but I have no where to put it. So i thought this blog would be a good place to share my thoughts with the world.

I'm not sure how often I'll update this ... but if i can use my blackberry to do it ...it'll probably be more often. LoL.

See ya later!
