These days I’ve noticed that I get more searches about Oton, Iloilo. And I don’t know if I’m right but I think I’m the only Ogtonganon blogger. Correct me if I’m wrong though. But I searched the web, nobody is a blogger from Oton but me. So from now on I am planning to dedicate more time on blogging about my hometown. Maybe create a blog solely about Oton too if I have enough time. I know for a fact that there are many Ogtonganons from all around the world. They’ll be happy to be be updated of what’s happening here.
So if you’re an Ogtonganon or just someone fascinated or curious about Oton, Iloilo – just tell me what you’ve been looking for. Leave me a comment or ask anything you want and I will try my best to blog or write a post about it. Even take some photos too. It will be my pleasure to help you. 
Haven’t gotten over Twilight yet. Here’s one of my favorite songs featured in the movie. Hope you like listening to it like I do. It has really weird lyrics though but try to see through it to know what all of it means. Watched Twilight again with Monica yesterday afternoon (sigh).

Flightless Bird American Mouth
I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere
Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, american mouth
Big pill looming
Now I’m a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream
Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth
Big pill stuck going down
“Its Saturday morning and I’m supposed to be sleeping. But I’m not sleepy yet so I made this video, a compilation of my photos with my bebeh. Its just for 30 seconds so you won’t get bored of watching it. Hehe. “

We Filipinos didn’t expect this to happen but it did!!
Manny Pacquiao won! Its like Christmas and new Year here today in the Philippines!
Oscar “Golden Boy” De La Hoya stopped his “Dream Match” with Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao at the end of the eighth round of their scheduled 12-round fight. Pacquiao gave a great fight, probably his best fight ever. Manny is the WBC Lightweight champion. He kept throwing a left punch to the head of Oscar De La Hoya during the first round of their welterweight bout in Las Vegas, Nevada. And it went on and on until Oscar De La Hoya chose to give up and he stopped the fight.
Pacquiao scored a one-sided TKO over De La Hoya.
We all knew that Manny’s only chance of winning over Oscar De La Hoya was for him to knock De La Hoya out. But in the end we had a much better outcome because De La Hoya didn’t allow himself to be knocked out, he gave up instead. Well its okay as long as Manny Pacquiao won! I don’t care how as long as he won!
We watched the fight online via The Digital Pinoy. And I’d like to thank DarkMantra because he provided the link and password for us to be able to watch the fight as it happens. You guys rock! Thanks for sharing that free live broadcast with us. My family enjoyed it. Tim was here too. I linked your site here as a way of saying thank you.
Congrats Manny Pacquiao! You really deserve to be called the “Pambansang Kamao.” You made us proud to be Filipinos once again!
Can you believe it? It’s already December and 2008 is going to end in like 28 days! How quickly time flies these days – even if you’re not having fun.
Anyway, I’ve finished reading Veronica Decides To Die (Paulo Coelho) already. Actually I finished reading it last week. It’s a really good book. Hey guys do you know if its okay if I post excerpts of the novel here in my blog? Like my favorite lines and that kind of stuff? I mean I won’t be having copyright issues if I do that right? As long as I cite Paulo Coelho always? And I could also link his website here. Because I really want to write those beautiful and meaningful lines here. So I could share it to y’all so I could convince all of you to buy this book as well! You’ll get your money’s worth and you’ll learn something. I promise. Tim is reading it now. At least I think he is.
By the way, I still haven’t gotten over Twilight yet. What a great movie. Sometimes I wish I have a vampire for a boyfriend to. They’re just so handsome and cool. At least that’s how I see them in the movies. I’m going to buy a DVD of Twilight so I could watch it again. Robert Pattinson is the best. He’s really come a long way since portraying the role of Cedric Diggory in the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I’m also looking forward on watching The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. I hear its a great movie. I have to read the novel its based on too. Written by John Boyne.
Found more songs entitled Mary Jane yesterday. Although I’m not sure if the composers wrote the song about a person or a thing. You know what I mean. The Click Five’s Mary Jane is on repeat mode in my head. I’m having the last song syndrome again.
Hhmmmm. What else am I going to write about. Tim is in Roxas again since yesterday. I wonder when he’ll be back. Lately he’s been complaining a lot – more than the usual on how he’s so tired of traveling. Its part of his job so he has to do it. Its great to travel, but he got tired of it. I feel sorry for him. Well that’s it. Just wanted to welcome December. Christmas is near. So excited! Til my next post!
