I went on hiatus again for more than a month now. I was so busy since I arrived here again in Romblon last June 2009. So much happened these past few months both personal and major events that impacted me. It will take multiple posts just to detail them one by one. Watch out for some upcoming posts these coming days.

I’m back again to marble capital of the Philippines! Hehe.
Last week I arrived here in Odiongan, Romblon from a two month vacation. Schools are expected to open especially the state college near our shop so I left Friday. The next day I arrived and started fixing and preparing things. Including changing the layout of the shop since last May we had constructed a mini-mezzanine to cater our product inventories and other stuffs. This made the shop less cluttered. Sunday, I learned that CHED issued a postponement of all college classes on Monday and instead resume on June 15, 2009 due to A(H1N1) outbreak. The biggest college here is the only one who participated to the suspension. Seriously, it was a unnecessary decision of the school officials.

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.
Alcantara hosts one of the best beaches located in Barangay Comod-om in the island of Tablas in Romblon province. Known as “Aglicay Beach Resort“, it hosts fine white powedery sand and crystal clear waters. Hills on both sides of the resort add beauty to its majestic location. Perfect for picnics, seminars, or just an alternative destination to relax and have fun. Last June14, 2008 Saurday, we went to the resort unplanned. I fell in love with the place as soon as I arrived there.
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.
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.
