March 20, 2009 - After a year as a SFC, after all the activities, meetings, talks, sharings, prayer meetings, I think it's a good idea to look backwards and recall how I started as a Singles for Christ.
Just a little background, I completed my CLP last May 2008. Life has changed much for me after that. Although there still lot of struggles but I think overall, my life has become better. I met a lot of good and different people in the community, who supports you and the same time it became an outlet for me to serve other people as well. Last March 8, after so many rumors flying, I finally learned from our chapter head that i will be serving in the first semester CLP as a facilitator.
I was of course shocked because it was barely a year since I joined the community. I had a lot of reasons to decline because I lack experience, teachings, maturity, and the list would go on and on. Tristan explained so much things, but a statement was what struck me the most.
"It would a natural tendency for everyone to lay back and remain in the comfort of being a member. Just always a member."
Yeap. He's right. After hearing him, I accepted that I can't always be a member. Eventually we have to grow up in the community and being a facilitator opens up all the opportunities for me to grow. I had all the reasons to say No but nevertheless I said yes.
I know that by just saying yes, God will help me. I know this is not my work, I'm just an instrument. I also thought that this is one way for me to look back at how I started as an SFC.
I will be posting blogs every week and share what I learned in the sessions. It will be a sort of reflections or a journal to record my CLP experience. After all, only few are given the chance to attend a CLP over again.
Thus the title - The CLP Chronicles.

2 GK Sites in 1 day
March 1, 2009 - On the morning, we were supposed to met at Metro Ayala at 8 AM but since i woke up a little late, I had to text my household head that i won't be able to go to Ayala anymore. I'll have to go to directly to the GK site in Budlaan. I arrived there in time to see the kids singing songs, dancing, performing, all to their hearts desire. As always, it was always heartwarming to see little kids pouring their hears out in performing.
Some ladies from C2A were the ones incharge of the activities. They brought clay toys for the kids and the kids were more than happy with the upcoming activity. The kids were grouped and kuyas and ates were asked to supervise the activites. Not only to guide them but also to prevent them from fighting over the clay materials. I was assigned to a group and the kids made their artwork.
While waiting for them to finish, Jared, Adrian, PJ and I decided to play basketball. 2 against 2. Eventually Jared and me won after 6 points because we can no longer stan the heat of the sun. We decided to go back to the activities in time to serve snacks.
After a small talk by Ate Rose, we were done. Another day complete. Another enjoyable day with the kids in GK Budlaan.
In the afternoon, we went to GK Naga. It was first time here and the site was near the beach so on the way there, we were welcomed by the sea breeze. We had games, story telling, puppet presentation and the kids really enjoyed that afternoon. After there, we said goodbye and went back to Cebu.
It was a long day but it was worth it. :)
