Yup! It's finally here-- the most awaited moment of the North Americans-- heat, sweat, lots of sunshine!!! Back home, this would mean nothing really but another day of dry heat, no wind and lots of cold showers! In fact, I remember taking about 3 showers in a day which is the least amount compared to anybody else. The weather could also affect the health and mood significantly but people are always happy no matter what. I guess it's part of being Asian and particularly, being a Filipino. We are a happy bunch, period.
In Canada, or in any American country I've been to, the weather speaks a lot about people in general. Winter means a lot of depression and most people tend to stay home and dwell on it. Come spring time, hope starts setting in, then summer changes everything. You'd see a lot of Americans outside, enjoying the sun and totally beaming with smiles and laughter. You can feel a significant change in the mood and surrounding. And because people are mostly happy around this time of year, I always look forward to its coming--- always on the 21st of June which is also the longest day of the year. Unfortunately, I woke up with the sky covered with dark clouds in the morning. It really didn't matter because I had to spend the day working anyways but around noon, we started to see some sun coming and man, I tell you, that still changed everything. What does it mean to you? How do you like summer in your own town? For me, summer is......
My Maui sunglasses and my hat collection.
The Beach! Seriously, anywhere you go here in Parksville, is water!
Spending lots of time in our garden; camping with good ol' camper. You won't believe the places it took us!
Lots of picture taking--not a bad pic for a 3.2 MP Blackberry.
Ice-cream, who doesn't scream for you at this hot sunny weather?
Mmmmmm, the smell of fish and chips everywhere!
And I think my honey and I do a lot more walking together around this time of year. Lots to do and too little time so hope you are enjoying every bit of each summertime you can have. Til next. Hugs!
