As always, the drone of my job is constantly boring me. So I try finding ways to amuse myself.  Usually what I do is I just browse the internet for useless topics like celebrity gossip, read horror stories, jokes and other people’s blogs.

 

But today, I found a very fascinating distraction—interpreting the DTR mottos of my co-workers, particularly the people within my department. J

 

            Here are some of their mottos:

 

i had a wish that everything would turn out well in the end.. with all i have, i did what i thought was right.. i spoke words that i thought would heal and bring the truth to light.. but i fear that all i have said and done were all wrong for it seems that everything is lost.. with hopes of having a new start, instead, i brought the end.. but i still look forward to the bright side amidst hollowness and hurt, regret and self-pity.. i can only hope and wish..

It’s impossible to surpass those years that you’ve been together, those happy and sad memories that made both of you stronger. But that won’t stop me from loving you. That won’t stop me from believing that there are still chances. I can take the pain but what I can’t bear is you leaving me in between roads with no directions to go to.

Singles For Christ's outreach day to the victims of typhoon Frank at Jaro..

I have mentioned before that my parents are members of Couples for Christ, Oton Chapter. Well I am a member also of Youth for Christ. I actually joined when I was still in my third year in high school, I was 15 that time. I’m still a member although I’m inactive. My brother-Sev on the other hand is already affiliated with Singles for Christ (I should move on to their organization actually because I’m over the age bracket for YFC.) and they have activities suited for “singles” and young professionals. They’re actually a serious bunch but they also know how to have FUN.

As part of their outreach program, they organized a relief operation to selected residents of Barangay Buntatala last July 13th. This barangay is part of Jaro, Iloilo City. We actually lived here before my parents decided to transfer to Oton 8 years ago. They were greatly affected by typhoon Frank and their houses were all flooded out. Families were staying at the elementary school which has a second floor. When we went there they were still cleaning the school, clearing out the mud and all things that can’t be used anymore.

Here are photos of their outreach day:

This is my Alma Mater. Look at what Frank did!

OTON, Iloilo: The Place To Be

My family and I have been living in Oton for 8 years now. We lived in Jaro, Iloilo City before but my parents decided to transfer residence because the land that our house is standing at, which was owned by the Locsin family was sold to the Iloilo government to be used as the relocation site of the squatters of Ticud, LaPaz.

I didn’t know the reasons why my parents chose Oton as our new residential address before. But now, after 8 years, I finally know why. And typhoon Frank is one of the reasons.  :)

Oton is a 20 to 30 minute ride from downtown Iloilo city so its really not that far. Its a home for the many who are seeking for fresh air to go home to; no pollution.

The police officers of Oton are actually the most reliable ones in the whole province and they’ve been awarded because of that. There’s practically no crime rate in our town. Which is good for me because I work the graveyard shift. My parents don’t worry too much because they know that I’ll be safe when I go out at night.

Best of all, Oton is on higher land thats why its not prone to floods. While the rest of Panay Island suffered much due to typhoon Frank, we only suffered power outage for a week like I’ve mentioned in my previous blog entries.

The people of Oton are also very nice, when we first moved here, we felt welcomed right away because Ogtonganons are almost always smiling and in fact its known as the “Municipality of Character.”

As Roman Catholics we were happy to know that one of the first beautiful churches in the Philippines was built here and now we’re proud parishioners of the La Immaculada  Concepcion Parish Church. My family is active in joining church activities.

There are many subdivisions in Oton, no wonder its called the residential hub of Iloilo. Basically because of  its proximity to the city and being a coastal town, we have the benefit of relishing the blessings of the sea and its beautiful beaches. The farms also give us bountiful agricultural products like rice, vegetables and fruits like watermelons(Oton grows the best!), corns, mangoes, bananas, etc.

Do I need to add more reasons why we love living in Oton? :)

Oton really is THE PLACE TO BE!

Tim went to Aklan the week after the typhoon ravaged the Panay island to help their co-workers fix up their office which wasn’t spared by Frank.

 Here are the pictures he’d taken of Kalibo:

and here are pictures of their office, with all their important  papers now useless:

 and here are the pictures of their CPU full of mud:

BEFORE:

 AFTER:

Obviously, this CPU although cleaned is still useless.

Fortunately, I made it home last Saturday after my shift. We experienced heavy rains at Oton and thank God we were not affected by the flash floods that ravaged not only the Iloilo province but the whole Panay Island including Boracay and Guimaras. We only suffered the power outage and the anxiety of the never-ending heavy rains and angry winds. My family stayed at home listening to the AM stations whose offices were not destroyed by the typhoon. I entertained myself by reading, listening to my iPod and playing with my brothers. I took pictures of them goofing around in my room, got nothing else to do. :)

Here they are:

and here I am reading:

this are the 2 pictures I took of a road in Oton, a little flood, heavy winds:
