The Story of my Life

"If I could wish for my life to be perfect,
it would be tempting, but I would have to decline,
for life would no longer teach me anything..."

My New Baby

Posted by Claire |

For sometime now, I've been really thinking of purchasing a lens for my cam. A few months ago, I decided to prioritize getting a flash. But I still kept an eye on this lens. Then, someone from work was selling her pre-loved lens 40% off the tag. The rest is history.



Here are a couple of test shots.






I'll let your imagination fly from here...

Kara Joins Jess' Family

Posted by Claire |

After 4 months of waiting, our first born officially became part of Kuya Jess' family last 17 September 2011. It was sort of a grand celebration as we were celebrating 3 occasions - Kara's Christening, house blessing and my `ty3rd birthday.


It was a busy busy day. But happy nonetheless. Kara was well behaved at the church. She had episodes during the reception but all because she was hungry and tired. But most of the time she was quietly observing what was happening around her. So proud!


My baby in her baptismal dress. Friends who saw this photo of her tease me that she looks like Strawberry Shortcake. hehehe


One family photo after the ceremony. We removed her hat as she was eating the ribbon tied under her chin.




Before we headed to the Reception, we had some shots at home. This was taken at the kitchen bar. Happy that Kara was cooperating very well.


We left her at home with the photog and her yaya as it was pouring outside.



See how well-behaved she is. Wasn't crying at all!

Come What May

Posted by Claire |

Love this song. And I sing it for Jerome. I love you, hon. Thank you for loving me the way you do.









When he looks at me


I know the boy sees things nobody else can see


All of the secret fears inside


And all the craziness I hide



He looks into my soul and reads me like nobody can


And he doesn't judge the girl


He just takes me as I am



Come what may, he believes


And that faith is something I've never known before


Come what may, he loves me


And that love has helped me open a door


Making me love myself a little more




When I turn away


He knows those are the times there's nothing he can say


Nothing that anyone can do


And so he lets me live it through


And when I'm in my darkest hours of uncertainty


He just simply lets me be


And goes right on loving me



Come what may, he believes


And that faith is something I've never known before


Come what may, he loves me


And that love has helped me open a door


Making me love myself a little more



And when it seems my dreams have all slipped through my fingers


When they just can't be found I turn around, and there they are


Shining in his eyes



Come what may, he believes


And that faith is something


I've never known before



Come what may, he loves me


And that love has helped me open a door


Making me love myself a little more



Come what may, he believes


And that faith is something I've never known before



Come what may, he loves me


And that love has helped me open a door
