Summer Greats

Life in a city as many may have thought lies in the perplexity of the people who live there and the infrastructures that pose big before every commuter's eyes. But well, that's maybe true, but for me life in the city is much more than that. I appreciate and yes, love the malls, the restaurants and the cinemas - these are boredom-breakers actually. Not-much-on-beach thing, this summer is more on malls and shopping treats for me.

As summer could have been an ideal time to actually swim and bake-my-skin-till-charcoal, I am afraid it is not so. Aside from a seven-day-vacation-cum-business trip to Davao, there's nothing really summery that I did. When I envy my friends who are tanned to death from their beach escapades, I can only wish things were otherwise. And so, to satisy this ego in me, in exchange of beach games, of swimming, of wearing that white, cotton shirt, of a glassful of thirst-quenching iced tea, I go beating off summer heat and feel the chill inside the mall. Things change when you're inside: Summer outside, near winter inside. And so, with no one to beat like in a beach volley's competition, I can only fight for my cravings for more of shopping. And, oh, in exchange of a bright, sunny day and breezy, blue sea, I find myself in a dark, and chill-to-the-bones big, big room with almost every couple in the row and a large, silver screen at the far end. By the way, Mission Impossible III again showcases Tom Cruise's every beautiful angle. And Michelle Monaghan is stunningly dead gorgeous. And yes, this another summer adrenalin-filled flick has become even better and more thrilling - impossible stunts, really.


But I am telling you, I still have twenty days to prove that Summer 2006 is a blast. It may be too late, but never a miss at all. I may have been preoccupied with school works, but summer would be great! And so, to start kick off this summer treat for myself, I will be happily heading my way to Sandbar in Bais City (North of Dumaguete, A two-hour ride from Dumaguete/three-hour ride from Bacolod). Summer sun is waiting for me. Bake me, bake me. Oh, kill my skin! I am now heading home to pack up my summer wear and stuff that will make my day and that's tomorrow! Oh, that deep, blue sea, come on, wait for me!
