It's 37°C but it feels like 40°C. With the consistent rise in temperature nowadays especially during high noon, I can say that this this year's summer is definitely one of the hottest I've experienced so far, aside from two summer in the past when I suffered badly from allergies. Thank God those allergies are not bothering me anymore.   

Just this morning during the flag raising ceremony at the outside lobby, I could see how everybody felt uncomfortable about the weather. It was a good thing that during the roll call , my name was among the first to be called. That means, my attendance has already been noted and I can proceed to the office. I then hurriedly headed upstairs and the moment I opened the office door, I felt relieved by the coolness. During hot days, air-conditioning units are a great relief provider :-).

During summer, what people usually do is to plan a getaway here or abroad (local getaways are usually to an island, pool resort, villa, beach, or some cool places like Baguio or Tagaytay) to provide them immediate comfort and relief from the searing hot sun. While it is but a natural thing to escape the heat of summer by resorting to such plans, there are things which are not usually done on summertime and would not seem pleasant to be done, but still worth a try, for a change, lol! 

And here they are:

1. BEAT THE SIZZLING SUMMER WITH SIZZLING HOT SOUP . ehe.

There's this saying if you can't beat them, you join them. So since we cannot seem to beat the summer season, we just join in and sizzle! It sounds a little crazy I know, but believe me, it worked for us.  And maybe it will also work for you haha. 

We forgot about the hot weather because we enjoyed cookin' & finishin' up  our hot soup :-)

2) GO OUT IN THE SUN IN A GROUP WITH ONLY TWO UMBRELLAS

3) PLAY UNDER THE SUN, SIT ON THE GRASS, CHAT, ACT, LAUGH

AND PHOTOGRAPH :-) !

4)   SQUEEZE YOURSELVES UNDER ONE WAITING SHED AND DO NOT FACE THE ROAD (haha)

5) LOOK UPON A GIANT ICE CREAM OR TRY TO CARRY IT IN YOUR ARMS WITH SUCH GREAT MIGHT

6) HAVE A GROUP JUMP IN A SHADY AREA

7) CARRY WITH YOU YOUR FAVORITE TRAVEL BUDDY AND FEED HIM WITH DULCE DE LECHE FLAVORED ICE CREAM WHILE YOU YOURSELF ENJOY TWO ORDERS OF RUM AND RAISIN ICE CREAM FLAVOR!

THE LIST CAN GO ON AND ON....

BUT REMEMBER TO TAKE SERIOUS CARE OF OUR HEALTH THIS HOT SEASON..

ENJOY THE SUMMER :-)!
