cruel summer

it's a freaking cruel summer! it's hot. and humid. and extravagant.

has it ever occured to you that summer can be a lot more extravagant than christmas season? that you get to spend more during summer than what they call christmas and new year holidays?... this is just my opinion. and i have my reasons. ask me why...

if you dont have a car, you would want to take airconditioned buses and vans, or taxi even, rather than taking ordinary buses even if it's only a short distance trip. you wouldnt want to walk even if it's only half a kilometer away... you'd rather take a motorcycle taxi or something. in turn, you lose a chance to get a little exercise.

you tend to eat and drink a lot more than usual. and while water is really healthy, cheaper, and refreshing enough, when you're hot and perspiring and feeling exhausted, you would crave for those flavored, sweetend, more expensive drink. and because you burn calories a lot, excrete a lot of metabolites and ions through your sweat glands, you get hungry more often.

and because you sweat a lot, you would need to change clothes more often and thus spending more money with your laundry.

not to mention... your electric and water bills shoot up higher than your blood pressure. the reasons, of course, are obvious.

you think you could save some of your hard earned bucks if you cool down yourself in a nearby mall because the aircondition is free. dont be fooled by that. think again! when you smell the aroma of different foods escaping from the various restaurants and coffee shops all across the mall, that your mouth starts to drool, and your taste buds start to crave... there would be no other way but to indulge.

im now actually thinking on how i may earn more this summer.
seriously, summer is cruel.

but for what it's worth, summer is fun. so go ahead. enjoy your summer time...
