Ways to enjoy this summer! :)

36.6C heat, Yes. It’s really hot this 2012 summer in the Philippines.

You are bored this summer? Why? When you can have fun!! :>

Here are some tips! :) 

*Note: Photographs without credits are owned by me.

1. FOODTRIP - When you are bored, EAT. Don’t be afraid to get fat and HELLO? Enjoy life!!! but remember too much is never healthy. You can always balance the food you eat. Desserts are the most common cravings of human! 

 (Try cinnamon cupcakes and fresh fruits like watermelon, plus! A healthy refreshing fruit drinks. *Photo owned by me*)

… you can also make natural fruit shakes in your home or make ice candies! Healthy + Refreshing!

OR you have a big appetite? Try burgers and fries with cold iced tea at Zark’s burgers!

(Burgers that are affordable and taste so good? Try Zark’s Burgers tried it once and I wanna go back for more!  It can be located at 2nd floor Archer’s nook bldg. infront of De Lasalle Taft. *Photo courtesy of Zark’s burger official fanpage. More info? Like them on facebook! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Zarks-Burgers/125052717215?ref=ts ) *Eat at your own risk! HAHAHA*

Ice creams - can help you beat the heat. Try Cornetto Caramel, White chocolate ice cream or selecta overload, oreo flurry of Mc Donald’s or any ice cream you want.

Street foods - YES! Street foods like isaw, kalamares, kikiam, fish balls, Kwek kwek, chicken skin! Ughh! They are just soooo delicious, especially isaw with cornstarch!! But remember to make sure that it’s clean.

Desserts - Like Buko Pandan, mais con yelo, halo-halo, fruit salads..etc!!

2. TRAVEL - Go for an outing, and have fun!! :) This is what summer is all about.. To enjoy and be worry-free from 10 months or more of school hard works.

(A paradise-like-place. This is at Porta Verde Villas Resort Caliraya, Laguna. A resort on the top of a mountain beside the man-made Caliraya lake.)

Where will you stay while you are in this paradise like place?

What fun things you can enjoy while you are in your stay?

(The infinite shaped pool)

(Tour in the lake using this boat!)

(Me after jumping into the lake. Trust me, it’s fun! :)

Or you can swim anywhere you want. Like at Boracay, Hundred Islands, Palawan, Puerto Galera, Beaches that are located at Batangas, Zambales and etc. 

Or go to cold places in our country, cold areas are at Baguio and Tagaytay. Especially in Tagaytay, Higlands. And if you have enough budget, Go to other countries! :)

3. MOVIE MARATHON - This is what I usually do when I’m bored, I watch movies. Go to cinemas, watch movies! If you don’t have enough budget for a 160-300 pesos movies, SM is offering 25 PHP movies. Old movies but if you’re lucky enough, You can find movies that you haven’t watched before! 

If you really don’t have a budget for movies in the cinemas, Why not download movies on your laptop or desktop? I will suggest some good movies to watch.. My favorite romantic movies are “The Notebook”, “A walk to remember”, “A crazy little thing called love” Local romantic movies, “One more chance”, “My Amnesia Girl!” Etc. My favorite foreign horror movies are “shutter” (Thailand), “Insidous”, “Coming soon” (Thailand), The grudge, The ring, Scary movies.. Local horror movies, “Feng Shui” and “ouija”. Watch any genre of movies you like!

4. READ - Read books from your favorite authors. Reading books can kill time and boredom. You can also read some tips in the magazine. Or read the daily newspaper. You can learn new words there, plus! You will know what is happening in and out of the country. 

5. SHOP - Shop for clothes! Everyone wants that. Best dresses can be found at Jelly Bean and Forever 21. Best shoes can be found at SoFab, Jelly Bean, etc. :)

If you don’t have enough budget for mall-priced outfits, Why not go to the 168 mall and the tutuban mall? I usually buy my doll shoes there. Too many cute designs, Good quality and ofcourse! Cheap price. :)

It’s not important if your clothes are all branded or not.. What’s important is you can make it look good on you. Why worry if you have cheap shoes? If you can make it look expensive by just wearing it! :)

6. Last and not the least, MAKE A BLOG! - Hahaha! Make a blog! <3 Any ideas will do. As soon as you know a lot about it. :)

There are soooo many fun things to do this summer. What’s important is you are spending it with your loved ones. :> Happy summer and Enjoy. ♥
