Welcome to Jeanne's home page! Thanks for stopping by. Please check out all my pages, and drop me a line to say hi. For more photo updates, please view my webshots site, http://community.webshots.com/user/jeannesyd, or you can go to it directly by going to links and clicking Jeanne's Webshots site. I would like to share this beautiful creation of my highschool friend, Menchie Maicle Castro. She made this especially for me for my birthday! Together with our other highschool mate, Marissa, we made a pact that we will be sending each other especially handmade cards for our birthdays! I'm the lucky one to get the first of these special cards. I've been secretly and excitedly anticipating these cards in our mail. And the joy of receiving them is just priceless! I couldn't wait to receive the one from Marissa, too! This smilebox is dedicated to Menchie as my way of saying thanks. It's been 22 years since we made this big step in our lives. It was a simple wedding. I wore a ready made gown made in France. The style was not one you would call trendy but classic. We did not hire professional photographers but we requested the services of two of Rommel's hobbyist photographer office mates to take the official wedding photos. For years we kept our printed wedding photos in three slip on photo albums. I've seen the grand weddings of my brother, Benny and sister Ditas and some friends. I've always been mesmerised by the beauty of their professionally made wedding albums. I promised myself, one day, I'm going make us a special wedding album. I have started working on it in the last two years, retouching the fading photographs. I was hoping to be a fast worker and be able to present the special album as 20th Wedding Anniversary gift to Rommel. But, alas, speed is not my nickname. I am probably better off thinking of giving it as a present for our 50th Wedding Anniversary  . Anyway, I have made some progress and I wanted to present the few of them in a slide show as my 22nd Wedding Anniversary gift to Rommel. So here it is: Hello! I'm really excited to share Pasky's work in his website. If you have the time,please have a look at: http://www.seawind-network.com, scroll down to his blog entitled "From The Past" and click on World Trip Highlights. Hope you enjoy watching. Rommel takes a video of the whole mural which spans 16m wide. We were expecting to see my photo on the edge as it was in the photo. Instead, my photo was right smack in the middle! An old woman standing beside me showed us her photo, too!

 Have you ever heard of Where's Wally? Well, this is my version of Where's Wally - Where's Me? Ha, ha, ha!!! If you're visiting my site and got nothing else better to do, I challenge you to look for my face in this sea of faces :-)
Yesterday evening, Rommel brought in a bunch of junk mail. Customarily, I check them all out before chucking them in the bin. I came across this newsletter and noticed that it's Blacktown Westpoint's newsletter. Looking at the front page photo, I was thinking, maybe these were the people who were chosen for their new advertising campaign called: The Faces of a New Generation. As I continued browsing to the centre fold pages, voila! A page full of faces! I thought - I must be here somewhere! I started frantically searching for my face and after a scientific method of searching, sure enough, there it is! Yehey! I'm now a local celebrity! I excitedly showed the page to Rommel, Celine, and Jessica, and challenged each of them to look for my face. Amazingly, Celine & Jess were able to pinpoint me almost instantly! I couldn't say the same of Rommel, though, I had to help him a bit:-) And if that's not enough, I brought the newsletter to the office and challenged a few of my officemates as well! What's more, I scanned the original and laminated it! Wondering how I managed to get my face in here, huh? Well, it was January, and Rommel and I were shopping and hoping to exchange or return my Christmas present. Just outside the JB HiFi and Dick Smith shops, there's this huge crowd and queue of people lining up for a photo shoot. Curious, I came around and asked one of the guys seated at the back of a table what the photo shoot was about. They said they were casting some people for their photo campaign and would I want to go for it? As Rommel was busy in the shop looking at plasmas, I thought, why not? Just for fun! I never told anyone what I did until I saw this newsletter! Ha, ha,ha! Over 870 shoppers participated in the casting. From this, 35 were selected to star in the campaign. Anyway, as we were driving home this evening, I started reading the newsletter. I read that, a mural featuring everyone who was photographed during the casting is being created on level 2 Kildare Road entrance near Dick Smith Powerhouse, and will be over 16 meters long and two meters high! It will be unveiled on Saturday, 29 March, by Mayor of Blacktown City, Councillor Leo Kelly. Rommel, Jess, and I are planning to attend. (Celine's got work). http://www.westpointblacktown.com.au/whats_on/whats_on.cfm | | I used different types of filters available in Adobe CS2 Photoshop in these interesting headshots I took of Rommel. I picked three that I like best and put them together in one frame. |
I'm so excited with the discovery of Smilebox! It's digital scrapbooking and it's fun! I just could not resist using the beautiful shots of Baby Iya during her baptism! Hope you have fun flicking thru...and try making your own...it's easy and fun!  | Guestbook | |
