I love summer. I always look forward to it. And even if I lived somewhere else where there are other majestic seasons like autumn or spring, summer would still be my favorite. It's when the sky looks like a soft, blue, muffler, when everything is quiet, and when I can stay lazy at home and indulge in laziness and in the company of good books...
My most wonderful memories are suspended in summer nights I had spent alone or with a special company. When I was younger my summers were always spent with my mother, at home, when both of us were left behind while the others were on a trip. But as I grew older I have met people who made summer more memorable to me. Every turning point in my life always takes place on a summer. Maybe that's also why I like the Lent season, since it always falls on summer. I like waking up feeling hot, then checking the refrigerator for a Coke or iced tea. My mother used to prepare iced tea because she knew that when I woke up (which was usually in the afternoon), I would be craving for it.
On summer nights I'd watch movies late at night and sleep late, and wake up the next day, aching. Summer brings me into a state of stupor. Then, it would make me meet someone, even when I would not be looking.
I feel exactly the same. I love summer. It's always the beginning of love affairs for me. Haha! And they don't usually end well.
ReplyDeleteI don't really like the heat. I feel uncomfortable. But then again, I also don't like the cold because it makes me sick. But I like summer's soft light nga. The sun in my window.
Haaay...the laze days of summer. It's as if there's always something magical and intoxicating going on...
But I think I'll like Fall too. I don't know. Never ko naman na-experience. :) But there's something about it. Maybe I like the transition from a season full of life to a season that is blah. :D
ReplyDeleteBut you're right, nothing beats summer. It's like anything can happen. Even if you're not moving...
Hehe eh ako naman it's the heat that I love. It's one of the weird things about me: i love heat. Kaya I can stand being on the beach sa tanghaling tapat, or trekking sa tanghali or playing football sa init hahaha. I like sweating tapos maliligo ako sa malamig na tubig. You know, what's also weird about summer is that I can always feel it coming (yeah syempre pag March na, alam mong papalapit na yung summer diba?) pero with me it's different. Like summer has a distinguishing smell, that which I usually sense at night. Tapos I like humidity at night. Hahahaha. Kasi I love rubbing my feet together to make them perspire especially when I'm on bed. Hahaha hay summer, it always brings promises of better life with it. You feel motivated and you want to start afresh, even when what you only do is bum around until May :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it's always the beginning of love affairs for me as well hahahaha ano ba yan. I love the feeling of meeting someone who's like you. Hay.. good companies :)
ReplyDeleteTama. You kinda sense it coming. It's weird...It's like a season of magic...and healing. And yes, of starting anew.
ReplyDeleteThe last summer has been especially remarkable for me. Things were unraveling for me that time. And it brought about an end to the fast-paced hazed months that preceded it. Even before law school's summer break, I already felt the winds changing. Parang alam ko na na something will happen. Something was slowly stirring up. Nung nagbreak na, I enjoyed the lazy days hanggang sa April 30, lumabas grades namin and I knew I was kicked out. I went through a spell of depression the entire May siguro. Perhaps hanggang June. But it also healed me. And it saved me from a life I wouldn't want rin naman. So I'm actually glad of the things that happened. Perhaps this was what I was sensing nung summer.
Haha! Extended yung summer ko. Hanggang June or July. :)
Last year extended din yung summer ko. Hanggang september! hahaha but it's kind of different na kasi it's when the rainy days resume. In fact June pa lang bumabagyo na last year. But last year kasi, I was a bum. I was thinking if I'd continue with grad school. Hahaha. I love UST on summer.. summer lang talaga. It's very quiet there. But I was never depressed during summer. That is actually the time I make plans, think happy thoughts, do whatever I want, embrace solitude, and yes, it's a magical season when everything unravels before you. Then, september comes, and it will take away all of what you have planned. :(
ReplyDeleteGanun talaga pag bum. Summer becomes lovelier. You don't feel the time constraint. You don't feel it ending. It fades lang. Not end abruptly, as manifested by having classes.
ReplyDeleteYes, I hate September. Sundays and Septembers.
I can't wait for next summer. It's going to be a wrap up of my one whole year of solitude. In a way, I don't like it to end, but I have to...
Ang summer ko pala this year was not as memorable. In fact I do not remember what I did then. Probably because unlike before, I wasn't bumming around. I had a work. Hay nako.
