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..."

YDWTL 40 Recharge @ Subic

Posted by Claire |

Husbo and I were with our YDWTL family at Subic two weeks ago. It was the first time in such a long time that we were able to join them. I'm glad we got to relax more because I know husbo needed a break from his stressful project.


Our first stop was Camayan Cove.

What I loved most about this trip was the catching we did with Cecil, Monpete and Flow.


Husbo looks a little relax, isn't he? He got 1 distress call from his client that day. But it was resolved immediately. Thank God!


Most of the time we were eating. We had this for lunch. Grilled Liempo.


...and Tuna.


For dinner, we ate at Extremely Espresso where this huge pizza fed 18 people.


This mountain of ice cream and brownies was everyone's dessert.


This is all of us before the food arrived. Happy faces. Recharged. Ready to pay it forward for the next batch of Yuppie Dazers. Basta Ikaw, Lord!

Parties, parties, parties!

Posted by Claire |

Last week marked the beginning of lots of parties to usher in the Holidays. I'm loving the holidays, because for the first time in so long I can eat whatever I everything (in moderation of course).

First, the Badminton Club Party. Which I don't have a photo of.

Second, Life is Shorts party of the Volleyball Club. Where I took home 500 worth of GCs.

Then the OGC Mardi Gras Year-End Party, where the party was so colorful. And for the first time, I felt deprived of alcohol so I ordered a glass of wine for props and smelling purposes. hehehe

And then, one PS arrived in Policeman costume who rocked the house down.

Finally, there is the Christmas party with my YDWTL family. The first time in 6 years of being a Dazer that I was able to attend it.

ps. Check out the bulge!

My monthly check up with my OB is coming up. And with all the food I ate, got worried that I might have gone over the weight limit for this month. Luckily, I only gained 3lbs. Hooray to that!

More parties lined up in the next two weeks. Will keep you posted.

Thanks to friends for the photos.

This batch will be the culmination of my stint as Core in Yuppie Days With the Lord. This Batch I will be the Rector. And....my golly....I get more nervous as we get closer to Friday.

The preparations for this batch kept me busy for 3 months. For three months, my life revolved around Days...Days...Days. And I can't believe we're just two days away from it and I will have to say goodbye to the Core, not that I will be distant to Days. But more because I will have to find other ways to serve Him.

I love Days. I love the people at Days. Days brought loving and serving Jess a whole new meaning. Thank you Jess for this opportunity.
Basta Ikaw!

3rd Weekend of May: Date with Jess

Posted by Claire |

We took a break from all the fun and summer getaways we've been doing the past couple of weekends to spend time and serve Kuya Jess through the Yuppie Days with the Lord.

This is one of the most memorable Weekends I had with Days as I was turned over to being Rector. The highness of all highs. I was dead tired when I got home, but it was all worth it. Being called to serve Jess this way is a great honor that I will forever cherish and be grateful for.

2nd weekend of May: From South to North

Posted by Claire |

We are trying to maximize summertime, so last weekend we travelled from South to North for a short vacation.


We were in Tagaytay last Friday night to join the Yuppies for the Recharge. It was an intimate recharge with just Carlo, Camille, Jom and I present, the rest of the Yuppies went the following day.

On Saturday, we drove from Tagaytay to Clearwaters Country Club in Clark Field, Pampanga to join ADB Volleyball Club's Beach Volleyfest. Storm signal no. 2 was up and we were still playing. Mga addict talaga!

Blunder #1

Posted by Claire |

Last weekend's music practice was not as productive as the previous weeks. It must be the smell of the lechon from the kitchen (Happy Birthday Padge!). So instead of last Saturday being the last of the series of practice, we will have to meet again this coming weekend.

We were recording Shalom when I made a blunder halfway through the song.

Group singing: (lyrics) Isang araw tinakwil ko si kuya...
and I go: (lyrics) Isang gabi madilim sa dagat....

They went on while I giggle at the back. After that last take, we took a break and dealt with the lechon.
