A Scorching Summer

I began to feel summer during the Lenten Season. This was the time when most businesses and offices were closed and literally weekend was super long.
It was never a habit for me to go out and plan for vacation, instead yearly I chose to do staycation.
I look at it as a great opportunity to unwind, relax, and repent for my sins.
Never knew that it was also a great realization that "Summer," is official in the Philippines!
And I think you will say that in any time of the day seems to have no difference at all. It's hot in the morning especially in the afternoon and even at night you will feel exactly the same.
A huge difference from the weather we felt months ago during the holiday season.
This is the time that you would always wanted to be in-front of an electric fan or best
is staying in an air-conditioned room or places.
Drinking water a number of times to hydrate is probably one great solution to obey one's thirst.
If I'm tired of the usual colorless and tasteless fluid...I usually settle for a flavored
drink like that of a juice or sometimes softdrink.
But if I wanted a chilled drink there's an iced-coffee to cool me down and even
keep me awake.
But sometimes, I usually crave for a Halo-halo dessert or sometimes an ice-cream.
But if cold beverages and desserts are not enough...often times I'm taking a bath twice or worst
trice a day.
While some of us look at this as a perfect opportunity to go out and swim on a beach or simply in a pool to cool down.
No wonder for PAGASA, recorded a 35 degree and up temperature in Metro Manila and as high as 36 degree in some provinces in the Philippines.
This could be the number one reason why watersheds is running low in Metro Manila particularly the Angat Dam which serves as 80 percent of our water source.
I am fully aware of this so I am making a necessary steps to help save our resources before it's gone.
Number one, re-using water out of washed plates to flush comfort room odors. I can even use some water out of a washing rice to water the plants.
And a huge part of water out of our laundry clothes to clean and wipe away dust inside the house.
Yearly, we experience this what we have to develop is some measures to combat the heat and save water.
I just wanted to stress that there are so many ways to cool down, you can create one that works for you. Just make sure you use the water wisely before its gone.
Weeks from now our agony for the summer season will be over ...the rainy season is fast approaching and I believe we really have to prepare for this like how we anticipate the scorching summer heat.
