Buhay America

Bye Spring Hello Summer!!!!!!!

Well there’s 9 more days and summer is here.  SUMMER here is so different from summer where I came from.  Summer here only lasted for 104 days, Philippines is almost half of the year is summer cool huh?

What do we do here in US of A to prepare for the summer:

(1) We look for our sandals, slippers because they are in for a treat.

(2) Looking through the closet and hoping to find that the bathing suit from last year still fits and still in fashion.

(3) Tank tops and shorts need to pull those out of the closet too.

(4) Shop for sunscreen lotion, coppertone as we prefer and all the glittery lotions or make up that we could find.

(5) Clean the pool if you have one if you don’t have one buy one at Walmart for $19.99 so you can soak up to your knee.

(6) Camping is on also, shop around for sites that are still available and if you could squeeze it in your schedule.

(7) Vacations vacations.. almost all the people here is looking to go to the beach and get some TAN, i guess I am IN also.

(8) Shop for food…. watermelon is on, cantalope, corn on the cob, kabobs( steak on sticks), anything that is good for cook out,  Hot dog and hamburger is the number one food that will be consumed.  So if you are invited to one summer party you’ve been to all of them.

I guess my list is complete.  The thing is I already do all these things almost everyday where I was from.  I guess you never really know the importance of pleasure until you see most of the people going crazy for the good weather to come.  I am being one of them too, sadly simple things that I used to enjoy for free is costing me a fortune.
