WATCH WHITNEY HOUSTON FUNERAL LIVE ON THE INTERNET

Watch WHITNEY HOUSTON FUNERAL LIVE ON THE INTERNET

Singer Whitney Houston’s millions of fans worldwide will be able to share in her homecoming service on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) as they watch her private funeral on the Internet.

This will provide a much-needed connection for fans who have lacked a formal place to eulogize Houston, one of the world’s best-selling artists who died in Beverly Hills, California, on Saturday at the age of 48.

You could also gather and place flowers outside the Newark, New Jersey, church where the funeral will be held by invitation-only at the request of Houston’s family, who wish to maintain some privacy. Other fans had stopped by the funeral home.

But many have longed to share more fully in commemorating the superstar’s life, and have shown their grief in one of the few ways available to them—by buying her music.

Houston’s funeral will be at New Hope Baptist Church, where she sang as a child. Her eulogy will be given by gospel singer Marvin Winans, a Grammy Award winner and longtime family friend. Afterward, Houston will be buried in Fair View Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey, according to her death certificate. Her father, John Russell Houston Jr., was buried there in 2003.

Don't miss to watch her private funeral on the Internet!

17th Hot Air Balloon Festival from afar

 

I still thank the Lord 'coz I was able to take some photos of the flying Hot Air Balloon last Sunday even if we arrived late. Yes folks, I took this particular photo while I am inside the car. The wonders of zoom lens and photo cropping ha ha ha! How I wish I know how to photoshop my photos so they would appear beautiful.

Armed with a ticket, which I got for free from Ann Saturno. Gabz, Francis, Ann and I  walked towards the entrance where everything is said to be flying that weekend.

Oh, the sunflower is peeking at the corner of the billboard. We could see the mighty sunflower from our car window. As you can see, there's traffic.

The yellow car flying and in the left corner you could see a skydiver.  Yeah, I know, you will be needing a magnifying lens guys and gals. I am so sorry for that. I tried my best and I guess my best wasn't good enough.

There's no sun when we arrived. The sky is white so I put some blue to the picture. Pinulbosan? Ha ha ha! Pasensya na po, hindi po ako marunong mag Photoshop Picasa lang po yan. Ang mahal naman kasi ng seminar para matuto ako mag photoshop. Sino pwede mag sponsor dyan?:-)

Aba kaganda naman mag sky dive! Sana next year magkaroon ako ng pagkakataon maka pag sky diving!

Aba patatalo ba ang paraglider na ito?

Ako naman! Ha ha ha! O ha! Opo ako po yan! Pero hindi po ako nag sky dive, fun shot lang po.

Entrance Banner, yes may picture ako dyan kaso di ko nilabas dito dahil para akong sinabunutan, nakaligtaan ko mag suklay kasi binitbit ko yun food:-)

 

Sana sa munti kong paraan ay nag enjoy kayo sa 17th Hot Air Balloon Festival! Hanggang sa muli! Mabuhay ka Pilipino!
