I wasn’t able to post news, feature articles, essays or anything in my blog for the entire month of June. My hectic day at work, home, and sidelines hooked and occupied me too much.
The fact that I have no organizer and sometimes I did not plan my work ahead of time, is certainly the reason why I failed to manage my time effectively.
One of the reasons is my assignment that took effect this June 2007. I am already a regular writer at Ormoc City Government official website at www.ormoc.gov.ph. Another is my target news stories per week for West Leyte Weekly Express should be at least eight to ten per week, and this month also I am planning to write for a national newspaper or magazines, preferably one in English and one in vernacular, as long as the deal is good.
Anyways, the month of June 2007 however, was very eventful. In the entire 4th district there are newsworthy events that unfold elsewhere that I did not able to post in my blog but it was posted however at Ormoc website or published in West Leyte Weekly Express. These include the Fiesta activities in Ormoc, from the time that the festivities kicked off last June 12 until June 29, the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul.
We and my colleagues attended the Government Employees Night, since I am presently working as one of them. My boss, the congressman however was not there, but his message was read by Councilor Sotero Chuchi Pepito, and it was truly a memorable night.
There are bad news in Kananga and Merida, some of you knew already about it. Tacloban also is preparing for their fiesta, which is of course unbeatable when it comes to pomp and pageantry. I was once in Tacloban some years ago when they celebrated their fiesta and it was truly spectacular. Baybay, Leyte and other aspirants (to become a city) is holding their plebiscites, and Baybayanons voted overwhelmingly for a resounding “Yes”, despite the opposition of the League of Cities.
Papa J of Palompon is still updating me about the happenings in Palompon, politically, socially, and anything about my hometown that I now visited only once in a blue moon. Besides there are some people that also feed me some important information about the events in Palompon like my relatives, friends, and networks, etc. The reason that I learned that the priest turned emotional in his homily, another is the conflict between CSFJ administration and some residents of Palompon, the robbery that happened in Kanghawro, but the suspects are all from Isabel (three of them are now behind bars), the PIT admin building incident (thanks God, those computers and other equipments were recovered) Kudos also to SPO1 Rogelio Subere, PO1 Rogelio G. Rojas Jr. (a good friend of mine from Barangay Sabang) and PO1 Jovie Espinido. My friend also, now an elected municipal councilor told me about the midnight appointments of some employees in Palompon LGU, the preparations of the oathtaking, and another is the interesting inauguration party which will be held separately in Palompon Social Center and Barangay San Isidro social center. Kakuyaw!!!
Sige na lang!!!
Anyways, the new school years just started, sadly I can’t teach at Syntacs college this time because of time management problem, and besides the school is no longer walking distance away from our rented house, because we already transferred at Agua Dulce, in the house owned by my colleague in media—Jun Tarroza, (some of friend thought that Jun Tarroza was the one who ran for mayor last May 2007 in Ormoc, no!? it was Jun Yrastorza, that sounds like Jun Tarroza).
