It's Summer Time!

After the Philippines experienced cold weather last November 2008 to January 2009. February heats up the country by giving the Filipinos an early summer kick-off of 2009. Now, why am I making this as my first blog? It's simply because I love summer! Sun, sand, seashore, fields, mountains, and so many things to enjoy under the mighty sun!

I am really this excited for summer of 2009 because last year's summer wasn't really that much for me. I remember I only had a team-building in Tagaytay City, Cavite but things we did wasn't really a summer's fun. Like a friend and former officemate of mine said, "These things can also be done at home and I'd be much enjoying it at home." Hahaha! It's not that we were bored there, but it's like as we were all informed, it was a team-building. So we're expecting some programs or things that we might be sharing in order for us to improve each individual's and group's office performances more - but, yeah, it was fine. I also recalled, I only got to get wet on a pool enjoying the water last December when me and some of my friends in Laguna had this unplanned overnight swimming! Whoah! How I missed the water! Hahaha!

That is why this year, I planned my summer to be somewhat different. I could be visiting some far places in the country, but I also thought of giving much attention ti simpler things (which is very Y. Hehehe!).

Haven't been to Mt. Makiling for years now, so me four (4) other of my friends went up to climb Makiling... even on a rainy Monday. So we decided not to trek Peak 2 nor Mud Spring, but opted to walk up to The National Arts Center of the Philippines. I was informed that hikers are not allowed during weekdays because classes are being held and the administration doesn't want them to be distracted by outsiders. But, I insisted and ask permission from a teacher up there which is also a friend of mine. So we were allowed then and made it to the place's covered court after an hour or so. We just had biscuits and tuna for lunch, took pictures, and rest for a while. Then we went down after a few hours as I promised my friend that we won't be bothering people up there. It was really fun. It had been a good feeling that I am finally looking back again to where I grew up - Los Baños.

Now, since I've said this is gonna be the best summer ever of my life (currently, perhaps), I'm thinking of other plans just to enjoy summer even if I'm just spending it here in my home town with my old friends.
