Summer escapade 101
A week ago, I felt like my skin is burning from the heat factor. It was an extreme heat that we all experienced. The sweat that keeps flowing from our skin even though you don't do much. The weather seems fine to bathe at least twice a day. Who can stand the 40° Celsius heat factor everyday? That's why I bathed twice a day or air our inflatable pool and filled it with water. I jumped to the pool in late evening then stayed there at least 4 hours.
However, I do not expect that these past few days, the weather will changed completely. We are experiencing gloomy sky and heavy rainfall. On April 5, at 3 am the rain started to poured out and it contunued all day. The fact that the weather has changed tremendously it is a sign that climate change is real. Supposedly, the summer will continue until May, but right now it feels like summer has ended.
My family plan for incoming holy week
Since the day was changing and my family wanted to have a small reunion with just few our closest relatives. I have read that in our group chat that they are planning something about an outing or picnic in Maragondon, Cavite. Maragondon is a beautiful place with pure beach and falls. Although it is not well-known but you will be amazed hiw beautiful the place is.
It was surrounded with forests and mountains. The area has many farms since it is developing area in Cavite. The signal is quite poor because there are not enough tower built there. However, the enchanting beauty of trees and sceneries are topnotch. When you visit the place, it is worth it. I know that there are some beaches that offers free entrance. Only you have to do is bring your food, clothes, tents and swim there.
It is perfect for picnic. My friend Karl visited the Patungan Beach Cove in Maragondon. Surprisingly, it was entrance fee. Yes, it's free. If you want to stay there for a night or so, there are available rooms and cottages to rent. That's where the people in the area earn. They are so friendly and they will let you rent the boat as well if you guys want to travel island. I am sure you will definitely love it because I know that the water there is bluish. Just perfect for photography and very instagrammable.
The celebration
There will be an incoming celebration next week. I will announced it on that day. This celebration is very important to me. It is very personal. I am planning something on how we will celebrate it. There are varieties of choices we can pick to. Yet, only few can be turn into reality. I guess the very most likely to succeed is what we will do. I am not choosy. My family is not choosy too. Hmm, I wonder what will it be?
This celebration will be accompanied by selected friends and relatives. I am thinking if what kind of programme I will make. I am still working on the design which I will print it on that day as part of the celebration. There are some confetti and chocolates I mixed on the pot. Whoo, I know you are guessing it now right? Anyway, there are still 4 days left for the preparation.
News update
So to explain why we are experiencing heavy rainfall these days. It is because of tropical depression. The weather is kinda depress and crying so it rains. Just kidding! Based on the data from PAGASA, there is a Low Pressure Area (LPA) in 130 km East of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur (8.4°N, 127.5°E). In addion, it is also embedded by Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) which affects ares in Visayas and Mindanao.
That's why it is not surprising at all if in your are has experiencing cloudy and moderate rainfall. As per in Cavite, we have been raining in 3 days straight. But today, it is quite cloudy but the king sun is still covered by heavy clouds. I would like to recommend to everyone to stay safe and beware of slippery road. Especially to those who drive motorcycle and ride in bicycle. Let us enjoy the day!
The summer here in the philippines is like a big over 24 hours haha! But I am greatful that it rained in our area in the last few days. I am from the North by the way.
