Feature Friday: Oklahoma Island Rafi's Resort

Feature Friday highlights businesses, people, fashion, and basically anything under the sun!

Planning on a summer getaway with the whole family or barkada?  Well, this one is for you!  My dear blog readers, may I present to you - Oklahoma Island Rafi's Resort!  This gem of  an island in Misamis Occidental must be in your summer wishlist this year for the following reasons:

Pristine Beach and Crystal Clear Water

As the photos show, the resort is clean and well-kept.  There is no world-class infrastructure or the likes which makes it beautiful by nature in itself.  It has a laidback atmosphere that one would surely enjoy going back to the basics!  Additionally, it is secluded and just lets you experience ragged nature in solitude.

Affordable Rates

Entrance fee to the resort is only PhP50 and that already includes the pumpboat ride to the island!   There are cottages and rooms for overnight accommodations and also an open-style mini-function hall for events.  Food in their menu has reasonable prices but you can also bring your own with a corkage fee of PhP200 only for all the food and beverages that you had brought.

   

Fun Nature Experience

When in Oklahoma, you can be one with nature!  You can play, swim, snorkel, or just laze around inhaling the fresh air.  The sea is just so generous with aquatic finds and I also found the place suitable for a Biology field trip. 

The Bonding Moment

Should I say more?  Beautiful island, white sand beach, pumpboat ride, homey food, great people - you'll surely make the most out of your outing together! :)

The Unforgettable Journey

No matter how many times you've been to a place, it is the experience that counts.  So for us who are living here in Misamis Occidental, we may find same old places from last year since there ain't always something new.  Although we may find it already boring, just take a look at who you're with.  For this, you'll still gonna have that great adventure without stepping too far from our local roots.

The Pictorial

Of course, any outing won't end up without a pictorial!  Checking-in with photos in FB or IG would be an evidence that you were really there in that awesome place.

Visit Oklahoma Island Rafi's Resort and experience nature at its best!

How to Get There:  

If from Ozamis and in private transpo, take the Ozamis-Oroquieta road.  Just follow signages up to Calamba and I guarantee that you'll never get lost with the small province that we have.

If from Ozamis and in public transpo, take a bus bound for Dipolog, drop off at Calamba, ride a motorcycle/habal-habal to the resort!

Celebrating My Birthmonth with the LSU MatSci Department

One of the things that I am super thankful of this year is my employment at La Salle University-Ozamis.  I never thought I could be employed in this big institution for I've been so hesitant in submitting an application for years!  Before, people always ask me why am I being such a mediocre in teaching high school studes in MUHS and college studes in Medina College.  I didn't mind them for I already loved working there and with best intentions at heart, I had also loved all my anaks and students there.  

But time just came when I realized that I have to move onward.  I knew all along that I've been passive.  I knew all along that I'm just chillaxing.  It just happened one day that I was prompted to apply in a big university.  Thank God I got in!

Looking back, one of my hesitations was the adjustment of having new colleagues again.  I was already at ease with my MUHS and Medina family and it was hard letting go of them.  So I got cold feet during the first days I spent in LSU Math-Science faculty.  But my new colleagues are all so friendly!  They always extend their help in times of need.  They are so approachable and even give advices!  Actually, I easily felt that there, I belong!

Now let me introduce to you, my LSU MatSci family:

Jam, Gina, and She - my fellow newbies who are Math majors.  Ma'am Jam is the silent type whose eyes are always smiling, Ma'am Gina is the hilarious type whose jokes are all so funny, and Ma'am She is the loquacious type whose tales are always entertaining.

Ma'am Tina, Ma'am Merlinda, and Ma'am Jo - the admin officers.  Apart from being MatSci faculty, this trio also holds office administration.  Ma'am Tina is in-charge of the working students affairs, Ma'am Merlinda is the principal of Bro. Martin Night High School, and Ma'am Jo is the president of La Salle-Ozamis employees' association.

Sir Lito and Sir Jaymar -  speaking of admin officers, Sir Lito is the Science coordinator and Sir Jaymar is the Math coordinator.  These two work hand in hand in managing our department effectively.

Mickey, Juvi, and Jade - the best of friends.  These three are inseparable!  Sir Mickey is under the IT department while Sir Jade is under the language department.  But they are considered as the adopted children of the MatSci department because of their best friend, Ma'am Juvi who is a master of Biology.

Sir Aldrich, Ma'am Beth, and Allison - the lovely family.  Since the first time I've come to meet them, I already adore them!  They are more than a father, a mother, and a daughter because they are just like barkadas.  They joke with each other and laugh together!  It's always great eating lunch with them at school for they inspire me to also aspire having a family of my own someday.

Sir Ernie - the Mr. Suave.  Sir Capz is the most kulit person in the office!  He always cracks humorous jokes and makes kulit on you that would lighten up your day.  In his younger years, I know he's the type of person who can capture any girl's heart through his suave moves.

Cyrus - the vain mister!  Sir Cyrus is the crush ng bayan, campus idol, and the yummyness of the federasyon!  Hahahaha!  You know what I mean!  It so so shows naman, dba?

So there goes my new ka-bonding, kapamilya, kapuso, and kapatid!  It is just so great to know more people and to have a circle of friends that keeps on growing!  I am super happy to have had celebrated my birthmonth with them at Oklahoma, Baliangao.  Now I'm gonna bombard you with our pics!

Ngarag pa nga galing byahe, byahe naman ulit....

Each year, God has been so good and so generous for all the blessings He had showered and still continues to shower on me!  I am just so filled with love that I can just forget the lacking part of me!
