Yesterday I was in Tarlac and I felt that summer is alreay starting. The heat was really scorching. This is one of my weakness. I tend to get headache when exposed to too much heat. The other night, we used to make ice candy to be sold in our neighborhood. This is one way to releive heat during this summer. How about you mylotters, how do you prepare for summer?

for the first time in my life i am actually looking forward to the coming of summer cause i am going to repair our roof. this morning i bought 30 pieces gauge 24 G.I. corrugated sheets. now all i need is to negotiate the cost of labor then all systems go with my roof repair project this summer. summer is the perfect time to repair roofs. i just hope that its not going to be a rainy summer here in my beloved Cebu City.

Oh oh oh! So it's going to be a busy summer for mammots! And perhaps that's why she is not seen around anywhere now.Great news though :) I just hope your mum doesn't get disturbed due to the repair work. Summer is stepping in here at my place too. Sun is really beating down now and it feels so tiring even without doing any physical work.

Where I live its bascially summer all year round. I live in Puerto Rico and so its warm all year and maybe during the evening during the months of December to March its a little cooler at night. However, we really don't do anything to prepare for summer months because its warm year round. When I lived in New York and New Mexico when summer was coming I would get my summer clothes rewashed and put then into the closet and put the winter clothes in the containers to go under the bed. I also would do spring cleaning where you clean everything in the house from the windows to closets. I do that here in Puerto Rico every six months.

I haven't heard of this one about Puerto Rico maybe experiencing warm weather all year round is due to your gegraphic location. In our country we used to experience rainy season too particularly in the middle months of the year and it will be getting really cold as approaches the last quarter of the year. That is a good idea, maybe I should also adapt that habit of cleaning or general cleaning in our house every 6 months.

I to this week have been feeling the heat , and I am so ready for some warm weather but I know as soon as I prepare for the heat it will get cold again. As for what I do for summer I get all my walks done early in the morning to beat the heat. I then go and but bags of ice to make frozen drinks.

Here too, when the weather is not yet stable for summer. In the morning and afternoon, there are times cold and sometimes the entire day it too hot. However, the weather bureau said that summer will officially start next week. We must be really ready for that.

from where are you friend? I think other parts of the world is not experiencing cold weather particularly in the southern hemisphere. Same here in our country, the southern part are now experiencing rainy season while the northern part experiencing humid weather.

Oh yes i can also feel the summer. As i went out to the street to get a jeepney to work, i can already feel the sun getting hotter. The trees and the plants are abloom. One of the nice things about summer. I don't prepare for summer. I am always ready for it, asdomencil, since i am always excited for the activities in summer.

I am excited for the holy week since that was the longest vacation for the year that we can have this summer. One time I was on my way home from one of our plant, I decided to open the window since the aircon seems not working due to extreme heat. However, the heat from the road is much hotter to I just closed the windows again.

I am going to Sweden this Summer!!! I saved so much money just to make this happen. I am so stoked! Having a break up with my girlfriend sounds like a good thing because I wont need to buy her tickets. I will enjoy this trip alone. Positive thinking really works. Finally I can have a decent vacation. know its weird that i am not going to a beach and I decided to go to country close to the artic. Scandinavian music American Music, so I will raid some Music store.

I don't prepare for summer. What I only love about summer is that no classes. My brain can totally rest from all the pressures in school. Halo-halo will surely be a hit again. Hehehe. I'm thinking of getting a Halo-halo stand in the summer so I can at least earn some bucks while classes is out.

This is one of the time students usually waited for. Just like what you said, it is the time to make their brains relaxed. I am sure of this one too. there will be many hoousehold in our village selling halo-halo or anything that can suppress the heat. We are already started selling ice candy last week.

Hi asdomencil! Yeah! I just came in from a lunch break and I think I am so full because I saw halo-halo so I ordered and so yummy! How about my figure? Oh! well, I have to forget abut it first. Yes, summer can be felt already. This place where I am presently assigned is located near the port so I'm sure after several months, my color will already change. Happy summertime!

Send some of those heat here, just enough to chase away the chills and melt the snow. I miss the Philippines' tropical climate, but I would miss my husband more if I am not here. But we are soon gonna be in summer, you guys are just going to be a few months ahead of us. But we'll get there. During summer, I make sure to drink lots of water or juices to avoid dehydration. One of the easy to spot symptoms of a mild dehydration are headache and unclear urine. Maybe you should try to rehydrate more. The heat may be making your head hurt but ease it by drinking water to help cool yourself down.
• Philippines

I agree with you. drinking enough water is the best but we need to drink warm water rather than cold one to make us more hydrated. Also, cold water should be avoided if you feel that you are gettign soem symptoms of heat stroke since cold water will make your vessels brittle making you prone to strokes.

Hi ! In us here , like Summer is about to start ! Really the sun is shining so bright, that if you'll get out without any covering surely you will be burning your epidermis. In the dawn it is so cold also. We already starts to wear soft cotton thin cloth and we eat plenty of fresh fruits now because some allergies are coming out because out is already so dusty. We need to take extra doze of Vit C also .

yes, there are still times that the weather seems so cold. Maybe the weather bureau is right that summer is not yet officially started.

I love and hate summer, he he! I love it because it's the time where I can escape from a noisy, polluted, crowded City ... I hate it because my friend, migraine is always there.... so , sometimes I couldn't enjoy much when I'm travelling...
• Philippines

Good for you to take a rest away from those pollution. We are planning just to stay at home or maybe if we have enough time, we will be having a short trip to our province.

Yes! i can feel the heat now... and I thought it is by mid march... The heat and the sun are my archenemies! hehe I hate being under the sun for too long and i do not like the heat as much as i would appreciate a cloudy day. Most of the time when it is very hot, i would feel uncomfortable too, and i would have troubles with my breathing. i hate sweating too much too!!
• Philippines

Yes, weather bureau says that summer time is not yet officially started. Maybe they are right because until now there are still time we can feel a bit cold inthe evening and early morning. They said that summer will officially starts on 2nd week of March.

study study study... =( no summer vacation for me this year... Will be having my intern. It will be sad to see my friends go on their vacations but I know this little sacrifice will be worth it. (",)

Though you don't have time for vacation just like us who's working, Holy week will be the longet vacation we had this summer. I agree with you, you need to sacrifice vacation for your study which is more important.

i think this is the most common way of preparing for summer for most of us since summer is really exposing lots of your body parts. lol
