WhaT to Do in a hoT SummeR afternOon?

Summer is just around the corner. and with the climate change today, its not hard to believe that right after the first week of January, its already freaking hell hot even at night.

added to the thought that you are aware that you dont have anything to do on a typical summer afternoon (especially those kids taking the vacation break from school) and you can feel the sweat all the way from your nape.. what can you do to kill the time and escape the heat of the sun?

tips to survive the heat of the Summer:

1.TOP IT ALL with ICE

whats more refreshing than a good sip of ice cold refreshing drinks? always remember to replenish your liquid quite often during summer to prevent dehydration. you should at least drink 1000ml of water on a summer day.

2.WEAR your SUMMER

3.SAVE ENERGY, SAVE YOURSELF

remember that light gives out heat, engines gives out heat too. why dont you try to turn off lights that arent necessarily have to be used... turn off TV, Computer and electonics that are not in use. you will not just feel comfortable but you will save a lot of moolah for the elctric bill. not to mention, you made mother earth smile too.

4.GO MALLING

sometimes, all need to do is go to the mall. aside from the fact that big malls around the metro are fully airconditioned, you can entertain yourself with alot of things inside the mall that you'll tend to forget about the summer.

5. FIND A COOL ACTIVITY

do something that involves ice, or water. like ice skating, do car washing, play waterball with friends, and even showering.

6. LOOK FOR THE GREENS

If you're near a park or tree-covered places.. never miss the opportunity to relax.. grab a book and your favorite soda then grab a seat under a tree. trees produce oxygen and gives out shade that both decrease the heat of summer.

halo-halo. sherbet. ice cream. mais con yielo. fruit shakes. refrigerated cake. ice candy. sorbetes. TEMPTING? its time to try these foods... during summer you can find these at almost every corner of the streets, especially the halo-halo. yum!

8.FAN the HEAT

9.RUNAWAY from the SUN

Nothing to do right? well then grab your bag and clothes and spend the time where the environment is a lot cooler. trip to go south? Tagaytay is the place for you, while Baguio while cool you off up North. dont forget to bring a friend and a camera to capture the moment.

10. BEACH! BEACH! BEACH!
