Need advice for making container soy candles

I'd like to make soy candles in baby food jars & mason jars of diff sizes for my daughter's wedding. I'd love to get advice from experienced crafters on what type of soy wax to purchase (EcoSoya Container Blend Advanced Soy Wax??), which wicks work best (HTP, cotton core, make your own??), & where is the best (cheapest) place to purchase the supplies. My daughter (the bride to be) is coming in 2 days for a weekend visit. I'd love to get working on this. OR if you know of good websites/videos to help me, that would be AWESOME!! I'd be willing to split a 50lb bag of wax...not sure how much I'll need. I was going to make extras for gifts. I wasn't planning on adding color or fragrance at this point

Small Wedding Venue


I've been working on planning a friend's wedding for a few weeks now but I'm running into a lot of problems with finding a venue. Her fiancee and her would really like an outdoor wedding ceremony and an indoor reception so we're trying to plan for the wedding to be this summer or early fall but it is difficult to find places that are still available on a Saturday on such short notice.

Our wedding will only have about 30-40 guests, and ideally, it would be nice to have a garden wedding, or a wedding in a venue that had some view of Tagaytay, even if it was far in the distance. However, in weeks of looking, I have found that all garden spots in Tagaytay do not fit into thebudget that we're working with or are extremely popular with large and small events and are therefore already booked through this year and it seems that there are few places that have views of downtown that are not rooftop venues downtown.

I have branched out into looking at bed and breakfasts around Tagaytay and then private estates that may have gardens that we could rent for 1 or two days but am still not having any luck finding anything. With only 30 guests, I feel like there has to be some great, small venue with either a garden or downtown view that doesn't cost more than P50,000 to rent for a day and that isn't already booked for every Saturday this year. Does anyone know of any or have any suggestions as to what other kinds of businesses I might try to look at?

Any motion-graphics experts in Manila?


I'm eager to know how the animated backgrounds of a certain Youtube video were created. A commercially sold plug-in, with customizable timing? Or a native feature of a certain software program? If either of these, what's the product's name? Or else, is it likely an original animation, composited into a motion gfx project (such as FCP? iMovie? Or ___?) on its own layer(s)? 


I messaged to the uploader nearly 7 weeks ago, with similar questions. But no answer. 

So, I'd be very grateful if anyone here could please offer suggestions how the animated background was achieved. Thanks in advance!

Question on organizing photos in an album

This may be perceived as a silly question but whats the best way to arrange photos in an album or on a website? I usually shoot B&W but depending on the photo I may enhance it, use color, sepia, etc. Is it best to keep B&W separate or is it better to arrange based on the location the image was taken? For example have one album for my new york photos and one for photos from my european trips. Also is it best to keep iphone photos in their own album?
