A Season for Ducks
Summer is almost over if the barrage of storms stopping by is of any indication. Did you guys make the most of the heatwave? Personally, I think we (the family) were able to maximize the time well. But even though we went to the beach, stayed at hotels and went out of town, I felt like I missed a few crucial experiences. For one, I wasn't able to eat a lot of fruits. You'd think that summer would provide you with a lot of opportunities to sip mango and watermelon shakes but I spent a good deal of April and May guzzling Coke.
Missed a lot of opportunities to engage in a bit of athleticism, too. Swimming doesn't count because I only did a few laps and I spent the rest of my water days floating about. I wish I could have tried running at least once this summer. A few of my friends who do claim that it makes for a wonderful day. When the storms stop coming, maybe I can give it a shot.
I also left a lot of good books out in the cold. Unfortunately, as adults, we have to keep working the same hours during the summer as we do any other time of the year. I started reading a lot of good novels (like Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, The Virgin Queen, etc.) but I'm embarrassed to admit that I only finished one (The Power of Nice) and it's not even a novel. Hehehe A few new books have recently caught my attention, but I promised myself I wouldn't purchase anything unless I'm done with everything else. That said, I discovered a comic book series that seemed really interesting. Is anybody here familiar with the series Fabletown?
Books aside, I think the ideal summer vacation would be the one Alexis Bledel's character in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants had-- the one where she went to Greece. Wouldn't that be a dream vacation? I'd eat all the local fruits in the area, skip down the water everyday, gaze at the views until I get sick of them, go on tourist traps and hidden gems...
But now that the rainy season is already upon us, I have other things to look forward to. Colder days, for example, will be a welcome relief after this exceptionally hot summer. A playlist for the cooler weather is also being put together. Hahaha. A Season for Ducks.
