Against the Heat

Admit it, there's at least one point in the past few months when the heat totally took a toll on you.

I experienced it many times since I'm not really a fan of "high temperatures" (ironically, I celebrate my birthday when summer is at it's peak). It's not so cool when I'm sweating even before I wake up (which makes me get up even before the time I plan to) and I'm sweating after I shower at night before I sleep (which gives me sleep problems). If you happen to have an air conditioning unit in the comfort of your home, believe me brother, you're so blessed. Luckily there have been some clouds precipitation for some time this week and the temperature's colling down a bit.

While I was doing my one on one session with my electric fan and watching TV, I thought of the things that can effectively alleviate the heat of the summer. Here are some of my ideas:

1) ICE CANDY. This should be my favorite for this is the most available tool against the heat. It can be bought at the nearest sari-sari store plus it offers different flavors like melon, chocolate, grapes, buko, etc. Price ranging from P2.00 to p3.00 depending on the mood of the tindera or the rate of demand (see? economics).

2) COLD PONKAN JUICE OR ICED TEA. Our intake of fluids prevents dehydration and gives us the benefit of visiting the "john" more often. I have been buying litro pack juices more often now especially when I feel like water is just not enough. I prefer ponkan over orange juice because it's sweeter and it doesn't leave me with that nasty feeling like I have a cob-web on my tongue. Iced tea is irresistible - refreshing and tasty. Suggested retail price is P10.00 but there's a store where they sell litro pack ponkan juice for P12.00. There's no difference on how it tastes so you just have to beware of those stores.

3) FLAVORED ICE. I have learned about this from a segment of a morning show. Flavored ice is just like the ice candy, the only difference is that you put these flavored ice cubes on your cold ponkan juice or iced tea. Flavored ice doesn't compromise the flavor or the concentration of your juice not like the conventional ice cubes. If i happen to freeze some of these flavored ice, it'll be gone even before I put them on my juice. I love ice.

4) TWIN POPSIES. Who can forget this classic? Orange or choco, this popsicles are just too good to be ignored. Avail them at your nearest ice cream stores.

There's a lot more on my list but I only crave about them while I'm writing this post so I better grab an ice candy now. Next time I'll share some of my favorite summer hang-outs.

First Post: Let Me Explain

For the past few days while I'm in my "tamad mode", irritated by the weather and climate change, I watch TV a lot and my attention (and my great compulsiveness) was caught by Jessica Sojo's segment about blogs.

I know about blogs since we made a marketing plan about blogging with my classmates for our marketing subject. I know what it takes to be a blogger and I know how much greens it generates for people who uses blogs as their business. But since i still have nothing to so for the moment, I thought of making my own blogsite (Thanks to Miko and his blogspot).


About my title: Weird Guy's Eggshell Adventures and Daily Side Effects.

You might want to discover yourself why i chose this phrase as my title. believe me, you don't want to hear it from me. Know me a bit and you'll figure it out.

So there. See you around.
