Mission Trip to Laoag City
Next month Candy, Tessa and I will be going to Laoag City in the Philippines for a mission trip. We’d like to share what we’ll be doing and ask you to remember us in your prayers. Partnering the churches in Northern Philippines When our team leader Sharon was at the Lausanne conference in Cape Town [...]
What happened the night Tessa was born
On the ninth of July, our firstborn child, a girl, was born to us. When we took the taxi to Gleneagles to check-in at 9pm, we were preparing for a typical normal labour process. Little did we expect that with tremendous drama (like we were on the set for ER) our doctor rushed into the [...]
She’s smiling so much more now (updated with more pics)
Today Tessa woke up with a lot of loud passing of wind. But she didn’t cry. When I proceeded to massage her tummy, she gave that very still, pinched-mouth look. Candy says that’s her ‘bangsai’ face (special face for when she has bowel movements, for the uninitiated). But the highlight was when I started singing [...]

Lessons of a first-time husband
Married to Candy for seven months now, I can’t say it’s been as difficult and drastic an adjustment as what I’d imagined, going by the well-meaning warnings from married friends. I know, we’re probably still in our honeymoon period, and the inevitable clashes from two sinful individuals having to face their imperfections twenty-four-seven weekly may [...]
This site…
Candy and I are going to blog here from now on. It has lost its purple-pink monkeys theme… but I think the monkeys will be back. For now, we just want to change the design to reflect the new role that VictorCandy.com will play. No longer just our wedding website… it’s going to hold our [...]
Greetings from our honeymoon in Korea
Greetings from autumn-chilly Korea! Those of you who know it will instantly notice the signature pose of Bae Yong-Joon and his co-star from the drama Winter Sonata. Not that Candy and I have seen it. But we were on Nami island, the location where many scenes were shot. Everywhere you could see posters, and we [...]
Victor’s Side of Our Story
On the third year of starting our dating relationship, to the very day (22.11.2007), I asked the woman God had brought into my life three years ago whether she would marry me. Happily she agreed! Sometime in 2003 I distinctly remember starting a new stage of prayer, where I began asking God if he was [...]
