Goodbye, Summer?

I know I am one of the many who complains about the hot and humid weather but is it goodbye summer already?

It was a good thing that last Sunday, even if I was having a sneezing fit and while the world was getting ready to watch the Pacquiao-Hatton fight in LV which had the Pacman KO Hatton <- (must watch) during 2nd round, my hubby and I decided to go where I can take photos of sunflowers (my favorite flowers!) and at the same time, spend a little time doing some walking. He brought a bike and went biking while I walked.

So there you go, a close-up sunflower photo, in memory of a very short summer.

Update: We are supposed to be in the middle of summer but we just had Chan-hom, a category 3 hurricane, ravaging the northern part of the country last night.Please pray for those who lost their homes and their loved ones.

Rain in the Summertime

“I love to feel the rain in the summertime!” sings The Alarm.

Is the rainy season officially here?

Sure its nice to have a cooler weather at night though it is still humid despite the cool air.

People are now wondering if they can still spend sunny days at the beach or do fun summer activities.

Sweet Summer Treats

Summer is supposed to be the time when one should look good enough to fit into a swimsuit 😀

But with ice cream temptations and other cold, yummy and sweet concoctions, one would surely need the best appetite suppressants to be able to resist the urge to grab one of these or maybe two 🙁

So, how do you stay clear of these sugar-laden sweet and cold treats?

  • Drinks lots of water
  • Have fresh fruits instead
  • Have drinks as natural as can be like smoothies but be sure to cut down on the sugar since the fruits are naturally sweet already
  • Don’t go to the malls where you are most like tempted to buy yourself a cone or a special

Twister Game

It is summer in this part of the world.

Summer means the children are not in school so parents should think of ways to keep the children entertained, occupied and challenged.

One of the games children can play with is the Twister Game. Below is a Twister game being played with my son as one of the players.

This game not only tests their ability to listen and follow instructions but it also tests their flexibility and resistance. It also is a good way to let them think creatively on how they would make themselves more comfortable without breaking their hold on the colored circles 🙂

Hot and Humid

Everyone is saying how hot and humid the weather has gotten this days and to think that its just the fifth day of March! Ugh! I dread to think what late March and April and May weather will bring, another ugh!

It would be nice to have a vacation at the beach, sipping a fruit shake while lulling myself to oblivion on a hammock under tall trees where the cool sea breeze cools me, wow! 😀
