Thinking of Summer

When we were being pounded by torrential rains last week, I was actually thinking “I miss the hot sweltering summer days”. Well, not actually the hot and sweltering part but you know…

summer!

Imagine staying on these chairs rather than looking out the window to see if water is slowly creeping up your home’s steps is definitely better. Why, I’d probably throw in a few interesting magazine articles to read about like the latest among showbiz personalities, pages upon pages of engagement rings, and even the latest information on Curiosity Rover. Or maybe not that last part to read about while lounging near the pool.

Fruit Fiesta

Summer is one of the best times to enjoy fruits. We heart summer fruits.

I took this photo below at the supermarket we went to after looking at small netbooks for the kids. These netbooks are a bit cheaper now in the advent of tablet pc.

Anyway, re fruits: The supermarkets present them in a very nice way, as compared to the one being sold at the markets. And yes, the former charges double than the latter. I prefer to buy in the market of course because I can get more fruits and even a discount if I buy a lot.

Our summer favorite fruits are watermelons, cantaloupes, mangoes and pineapples. Yum!

Choose Your Drink

So many drinks to choose from! What do you think you will buy to open and quench your thirst?

I’d get an ice-cold can of soda anytime but I am trying very hard to stop drinking these to avoid more weight gain. I am usually out when I see these things and with the scorching weather, I’d want to have headache relief from the heat, I’d probably settle for a bottle of water or Gatorade.

I sure hope these two are the most logical choices.

Rain in the Summer Time

friday rain

We have been blessed with a little rain two days ago. The roads though dried up so fast that people wouldn’t know it rained had they been inside a building where they can’t see that it did. I know months ago we have been praying for the rains to stop because it has caused so much damage. But this summer has been one of the hottest we have experienced so far that it seems like the news has reported “Today is the hottest day of the year” several times already.

The crops have died and the rivers dried. So much damage that the drought is as catastrophic as last year’s flood damages were.

Yup, I’ve stopped counting at 38 degrees C. The weather bureau reported that the rainy season will be starting soon seems far off since we are still experiencing unbearable heat even if the Southern part of the country has flooding.

I’m sure resort owners are not ready to bring out the hot tub covers yet since this means the peak summer season has ended.

As for me, I’ve missed out on a lot of outdoor activities of fun, sun and sand this year. Booo…
