Whoa, i just had another one of those it's-no-use-to-study-you'll-fail-anyway exam in Medicine... why the need to complicate matters in medicine? Oh well, the answer to that question is yet to be discovered. So anyways, all these exams make me want to be transported to summer again... Oh yes, summer in the Philippines, a tropical archipelago, is a summer to remember (minus the Abu Sayyaffs). There is actually no threat of being kidnapped by these bandits unless you go near their places of operation.
There are lots of beaches in this country and my province is an island such that anywhere you go, the beach is there, inviting you to take a swim.
Imagine crystal clear waters. Imagine pristine blue waters set against the sillhouette of the perfectly cone shaped Mayon volcano... imagine white sand... imagine no people around, just you and the noise of the birds from the nearby mountains... imagine corals in colors so vivid and bright...imagine bonsais scattered all over the place.. imagine a sky so blue that you couldnt tell where it ends and the ocean begins... all these in an undeveloped beach. No hotels, no fancy clubs, just logs for benches and birds for waiters.

Even if most of my peers would object, i would still say that swimming in the beach under the hot hot noon sun (around twelve pm to two pm, i.e. when just when heat waves appear) is still the best. What could be more enjoyable than burning your feet at the hot sand then diving into the cool waters for relief? Of course you have to have a sunblock lotion. GO for the SPF 45 if you plan to do this unless you want to burn real bad. Another thing i enjoy would be lying on the sand and drinking ice cold (you guessed it) coke. Sitting here in front of this computer, in this cold rainy day really defines the contrast... Am counting the days when i could finally take hold of a jet ski....
