partners
we managed to have a little fun, when everyone's having a lot of it...
we enjoyed each other's company, when all the rest are having a blast...
the pressure is there, we get tired sometimes, but a little laugh, a few kisses and a warm hug, gets us going even more.
we're proud of what we can accomplish. a little hitch here and there may dampen our moods, but looking at the whole picture of success enlivens our spirits.
it is a wonder how well we work together and how we love what we do. and for that, there could never be a better partner...
cheers to us.....
a snapshot to show that we can still manage to pose and smile, no matter how busy.
final dose:
we are not event organizers, it's just that -- we both have unique minds and great ideas that can pull off wonderful events...
ahehehe =)

about TONI
ANTONIO GALZOTE CORTES II
In his mid-twenties, this Gemini is sometimes called Dingdong at home or Inot by most of his college friends. Toni is a registered architect and plans to build a doghouse as his first project. A loving husband, a good provider and a doting dad. Inspired by his wife to write, his passion for the art is not merely on canvas or tracing paper. He is interested in the usual guy stuff... sports and beer. His antics can sometimes be considered funny but most of the time corny. A frustrated bassist, he digs alternative music, new wave and old school rock & roll. He despises his being hemophiliac but is proud to be born and raised in the city of Mandaue.
