Last Sunday, we went to Sitio Lumbia in Barangay Limon Norte, Looc, Romblon to celebrate my uncles birthday that happened a day earlier. We were supposed to visit the famous Lumbia Falls, one of Looc, Romblon’s popular tourist attraction. Since time haven’t permitted us and the tiring journey uphill, we decided to take the pool. Lumbia Pool Resort as what we call it. The pool get its waters from the falls channeled down through man-made constructed irrigation. The pool is replenished every time and excess water goes through the rice fields beside the resort for irrigation.

First of all I want to express my deepest sympathies to the families and friends who were deeply affected by the previous onslaught of typhoon “Frank” last week. Most of you knew the M/V Princess of the Stars capsized off the shores of Sibuyan Island in Romblon and yet most of the passengers are still missing/unaccounted for. The Panay Island in the Visayas region also suffered a severe blow from the typhoon in which the province of Iloilo where left in a huge flood. Gladly to say that my relatives in Janiuay and Pototan in Iloilo are safe despite the turmoil and the hassle the typhoon brought in the area.

Better late than never

I had a busy busy week so I haven’t updated my blog for days. Even the post for my birthday greeting supposed to be done on that day have not been published. I planned to post yesterday but the power problem here in Odiongan, Romblon keeps me from posting. I had the chance to post this now that the power’s back for the mean time. So, I would like to announce that last tuesday, June 17, 2008 was my birthdate.

I had a chance to go to Romblon, Romblon and be a part of the Pastoral Visit where his excellency Bishop Jose Corazon Tala-oc visited the Parish of St. Joseph Cathedral last thursday, July 12, 2008. I went along with my mom and aunt Gennie from Looc to San Agustin then to Romblon, Romblon on a pumpboat. Along the 45 minute journey, we saw a lot of dolphins playing in the area. Too bad it was far away for my camera to zoom in. Anyways, I enjoyed watching those dolphins jumping out of the water.

Since 5 months ago, I remembered falling in line on Window 1 inside the LTO office in Odiongan, Romblon to submit my driver’s license application for a non-pro. Processing here and there, taking picture of my face and signing onto a board using a stylus pen. Paying to the payment window and finally giving me my temporary license on a piece of paper with my face printed on it. The office is running low on ink, that’s the reason why my face had some lines in it. After 5 months, I received my first driver’s license card.
