Kiamba Escapade' 12

We are all excited for our yearly family reunion.  This time we will be visiting relatives living at Kiamba, Saranggani Province.  It was a long 8hrs. drive from our place. Because we wanted to see some new and old relatives  as well as see their place again in different venue. They have house us in front of a beach. The air is fresh as well as the water is so enticing. The kids can’t help it after a meal they took a dive already. We arrived very early so we have the liberty to roam around the place.

While waiting for our turn for  island hopping. We saw a fish boat unloading some tuna fish .It was really an experience worth keeping. I asked the person to take some pictures. It was our first time to see fish with distinct names and sizes.

We played some tug and wars  for us to enjoy the afternoon. From children to adult alike.

We visited the newly construction of  Manny Pacquiao’s resort. We just intend to look from afar since we all packed in a big fish boat. It was indeed a deep blue sea.

It was indeed a reunion worth attending to. Next Year another place but with the same  relatives.

Kadayawan sa DAVAO 2011

 

        Davao City is very busy for the Kadayawan '11. The main streets are being adorned of colourful pongees to indicate the start of it. Teasers are being posted at Youtube. Even though I have not yet seen some teasers in the television. I can feel the intense preparation of organizers and the surrounding community.

My little Kim was so excited to be of help for the said event. How? In their school they were encouraged to bring some handful of rice and some canned goods for their participating dancers. Their school is very active and constant winner of the “Indak Indak” (street dancing) category children division. Their school is  MAGALLANES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. It is indeed an activity Davaonoes will look for in the month of August. They have line up activities posted in every bulletin board. Some are in malls and accessible areas. Just search on the Kadayawan schedule of activities at www.google.com

     Every year they will display some plants and other orchids in a very cheap prize. Lots of exhibits about Davao .Malls will also welcome entertainers to highlight the occasion. They will also decorate and make fun activities to show case what is Kadayawan all about.

     May this year be of fruits beyond compare. Pomelos and other loved fruits like Durian. Flowers display is indescribable. All for world class interpretation.

Malungon Trail

                  Every time I will visit my relatives in the southern part of Mindanao from Davao City. I always passed this way but I never had a glimpsed of what it look like  I had a wonderful time to stopped just this weekend and to my amazement it looks like this swirly turns. And it was a great to stop and take a closer look at it.

                   How wonderful the trees are right now considering we are experiencing El Niño ?Though we can some landslide going on. But yet they continue to see the  lushness  of the trees. May I continue to enjoy the joy the nature brings to my life.

Tinuy-an Falls in Bislig

An 8 hours drive makes me crazy . The road was so rough and as if you are in the rocky road. But you cannot believed the tall good lumber trees. Mahogany,  Narra , Apitong and Red Wood. The temperature is raising and I really felt the fog coming. In this place you just  can tour the place in three hours by walking. They have best the school. It is good for foreigners because the place is cool. You can never imagine that you will see also the best falls. Tinuy -an  Falls is the most favorite relaxing place for the locals. They really enjoys the place and what it can offer. The height is so amazing. Especially if you dare to reach the top of the falls. The current is strong and water is so clear. Every now and then you will see a dew drops because of the current of the water falls. Summer is approaching. You will see some arch of rainbow forming.  Try it you will never regret it.  

Ayutthaya

                     The original capital city of Thailand. I had a wonderful one year experienced teaching English to Pratum 1 to  3...Equivalent to gtrades 1-3 for us. I like the place, the exotic food and the people. I visited Wat Chaiwatanaram, Wat Monghon Bopit and plenty of Wats  (temple). At first the language was strange but eventually it was very easy to communicate to them even with different dialect used. Like I use English while they will just reply with their local dialect. We still can understand each other. I have a funny experience with a cook. One of the favorite food is tom yang a hot spicy soup with shrimp. I told the cook put a little of salt. She didn't understand me so I went to her cabinet and check if she have it. And I said this is it. We laugh because she is saying it with her language and  I was just describing it . I enjoy also their springtime  where all the trees are covered of  flowers. There summer was just a BIG HEAT. I couldn't imagine changing t-shirt three to four times a day.Drinking their top water is a big no. You need to buy it .  Their winter time is really  very cold. I cannot imagine a sunny morning and yet the temperature was really freezing.  I need to take some pics of their famous historical places.I found out that they where not influence by any nationalities. That's why they have really their own culture. No one can just invade it. Ayuttahaya.

Buda Escapade

I have a wonderful Friday  with my co-teachers and staff at Seagul Resort We stayed at the  vacation haven of our church mate. Its been a stressful week  for me then. So I needed a break . And it was an answered prayer . The night before the said occasion I still hesitant to pack up. But as morning break, I decided to go. As we travel a two hour  ride. The temperature is elevating. Later on , we see the wonders of the beauty of green and luscious trees surrounding the hills and mountains. The air is different. The life style did  change. From a fast pace city life. To a day waiting for strangers  to pass and buy some food or vegetables for sale. The most wonderful thing that amazes me is the sun set. I never had an opportunity to see one during the whole year . I am seated at the top of the hill. And there I see some sets of sunsets with different meaning and reflection. I couldn't believe check it for your self.
