Clyde the future NBA star….

At 1 year old, he loves to pose for a camera

Smart, looker, friendly and talented is how we describe my eldest son Clyde Jexter.

He is a Dancer…

As early as 2 and ½ years old, Clyde being a “saling pusa” in a Day Care Center was chosen to perform for his school by dancing a ballroom dance. I was really a proud mama when I heard good feedbacks from the audience when he was performing.

Since then, Clyde has been consistently chosen for school activities.

He is a consistent Honor Student…

From day care days until Grade Six, he is a consistent honor students. He was always chosen to represent his section in various school activities such as Boy Scout. His area of expertise is no other than but  Mathematics.

He was chosen as a leader of their group

Playing Basketball, his first love!

 Clyde’s name was derived from famous NBA player…CLYDE DREXLER. Aside from he is a basketball icon, the uniqueness and class of the name attracts us to name our first son after him. We just rename the Drexler into Jexter to make the surname a first name (LOL!) and that is why he was called by us as “ CJ”.

CJ’s first words when he was about 10 months old was “Shoot that ball” while he was playing a ball on his play pen. I was really amaze when I heard that, unfortunately he cannot say it again when I asked him to do so( hahaha…)

As a baby, CJ are really fonds of balls. He doesn’t like any other toy but only a ball. Everytime, we passes by a store whether in a mall or even just a sari sari store he will immediately point his fingers to the ball and we are oblige to buy that ball otherwise he will cry out loud and turn into purple.(he actually has history of turning into purple color when he cried too much) In fact, his collection of balls consist of 2 big baskets.

When CJ was a toddler, he always show his “ala-Michal Jordan” moves by shooting the ball with tongue out and saying “Vergel Menenet” (his name for Vergel Meneses)

He was 12 years old and in Grade Six when his first basketball break came.He tried out for Pitogo Inter-Barangay Mosquito Division and was chosen to be part of the team. Since then, he joined several inter-colors & inter-zone league in Barangay Pitogo.

His 1st Inter Zone Experience at Barangay Pitogo

He was named as MVP and Mythical Player during Pateros Catholic School intramurals. He received medals and certificates for these achievements.

He also played inter zone for Barangay Rizal.

When he transferred to Pitogo High School, he tried out for school varsity and luckily was chosen.

He became varsity player for Pitogo High School 

His dreams to be part of Pembo Elite Circle of Athlete and Sports otherwise known as PECAS came true last May 2012.He became part of All star game where his team was proclaimed Champion. Presently, he undergo training for the Pembo Inter Barangay Kids Division.

With so many milestone in his basketball career at the age of  16,  his dreams to become a successful NBA star is becoming visible...what about seeing him playing for UAAP or NCAA in 2 to 3 years? well...let us wait and see!
