Kiamba, My beautiful hometown

You may recognize this place because of The Famous people champ Manny Pacquiao, the congressman of our province, but there is more than that, especially in our town Kiamba which is also the town of the peoples champ wife Jinkee Pacquiao. The beautiful sand that glimmers in the shoreline will invite you to take a dip in the Celebes Sea. Also you can experience lots of thing if you visit like climbing the mountains and take a look of the falls in almost every barangay of kiamba.

Sarangani Bay

Majority speak Cebuano although early settlers were of Ilocano origin. One of the indigenous peoples living in mountainous areas of Kiamba is known as T'boli.

Hundreds of couples walking the streets every Valentine's Day. A festive mood breathes over Kiamba every year during the heart's day where one could find kiosks, carnival, tribal shows and a myriad of exciting activities in their short, narrow old roads.

But they are not only celebrating Valentine's Day. It is the town's foundation anniversary and the Timpuyog festival they are most excited about.

Timpuyog is an Ilocano word for unity, a term very appropriate in a town whose populace is a mixture of Ilocanos, Cebuanos, Maguindanaos, B'laans and T'bolis.

During the festival, guests could witness tribal shows as T'boli families make their way to the town proper from far-flung barangays.

It is also during this day when the locals show their unity for the peace and development of their town.

Established in 1947 as a municipality, Kiamba is an idyllic town whose sleepiness will remind you of scenes from Tagalog romantic movies. But its relaxed atmosphere is complemented by its exciting landscape and friendly townsfolk.

Visitors have a wide array of adventures to choose from in this town bordered by the Celebes Sea and lush rainforests. Take a peek:

·         A short trek from the highway will lead you to majestic waterfalls where the water is so clear it may just quench your thirst.

·         A quick walk along its famed short, narrow roads littered with Japanese era houses will lead tourists to a wonderful view of the Celebes sunset.

·         If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the people's champ Manny Pacquaio whose wife grew up in Kiamba. Pacquiao frequents Kiamba to visit friends and relatives and watch cockfights.

·         Taking an early morning stroll in Kiamba will lead to some pleasant surprises. One could catch a glimpse of the famed Kiamba sunrise where colors of the spectrum explodes in the sky to usher a brand new day as fishermen leave for their boats.

·         A short boat ride will take you to Tuka Marine Park, a protected area where fishing is banned.It has four protected coves and only one (Tuka 2) is open to the public. The site has awesome coral formations and you will be literally swimming with schools of fish once you decide to snorkel.

·         When you hit the beach of Kiamba, you will enjoy the pleasure of having it all to yourself and your friends because it does not have bothersome vendors and hawkers.

      Finding exciting adventure is fun especially when you know its really worth traveling for. So what are you waiting for come travel to our Place!!!

that music which makes you feel the butterflies flutters in your belly.

Someday somehow somewhere
yeah! its funny how people define love, express love, fight for love and make those cozy love letters but the thing that bothers or should I say wonders me most about love is that will I find that love which is fated for me or so called the other half of me, If he does exist? Or am I just dreaming that someday I’ll feel that “lubb dubb” thingy they all mumble about.
Well, let me start it this way!  I’m not dumb, numb, or foolish that I hadn’t feel attracted and infatuated to the opposite sex, yes! I did felt it, sometimes but the thing is it the faster you get it the easily it fly and disappear in tiny air. But her I am, waiting for the grand entrance of that special someone that will soon invade my heart and hope that we will be together taking over the universe. The thought of it makes me gag or throw up but as what I have seen in the telenovelas, movies and read in the novel is not that bad it’s like my heart is overwhelm with the plot of story that I can’t help but cry, laugh, chuckles, be angry, smile or even shudder as I remember it. They all confuse me is there such things in life? Can I have the same plot of one of those novels? Falling for the wrong guy who happens to be raggedly handsome and stubborn, or have a chance to touch an ice-cold prince heart, falling for a pauper who happens to a bachelor or diplomat, or have a marriage for convenience or just me meeting a total stranger in a trip. It makes my heart skip a beat  just as I think of it  they seems to give all they have  to the state that even  if the one they love suffocate them they can still bear it with a smile as long as they are together.  It scares me since as I read and watched them almost hundreds of them I think they all according to order. I want it to be twisted not in the sense that I am the mistress, so not going to happen but something just a simple not so predictable love story that as I gamble it would become a new adventure full of excitement, experience and fun. May be I am mad and crazy,but I'm still hoping to that little weirdness i have will have a compatible weirdness so that i may found a person and utter the word WE'RE IN LOVE.

Insomnia is the same as sleepless night

Do you struggle for hours to get to sleep, no matter how tired you are? Or do you wake up in the middle of the night and lie awake for hours, anxiously watching the clock? If so, you’re in good company. Insomnia is a very common sleep problem. It’s frustrating to toss and turn during the night, only to wake up bleary-eyed at the sound of the alarm and drag through the day exhausted.

 Sleepless night is the equivalent reason of this. I also encounter this problem every now and then so guys watch of this because it very annoying you have to get enough sleep but you can not do this since your senses is still alive...
 The best result, I mean damage it made afterwards were EYEBAGS and stressful face which is very bad not only in the appearance but also for the health of a person.
