It's mild. Some afternoons, cool breeze is blowing. And mornings are even comfier.
But still, the air con is in full blast some other afternoons. And evenings.
I blame the constant use of air con to the house's artificial enclosure. There are big windows but these are screened to prevent mosquitoes and other insects from entering. And the big room's second window had been transformed into a decorative window, with glass-like tiles.
Last night, we had a small family gathering, and unlike other past events, we didn't use as many electric fans outside, where we did most of the activities. One bro in law commented on how breezy it was in our place.
I envy people who have swimming pools in their houses. In Canada, I know of someone who transformed her residence into a resort-type cottage because according to her, "it's better than going to public pools or beaches." She was right because every weekend, her family could enjoy uninterrupted r & r without the nasty crowd.
Last Holy week, we trekked to Laguna for a refreshing summer dip. The resort we rented was Mediterranean-inspired with comfortable rooms, a cozy living room with a huge LCD, and a beautiful garden, a spacious dining and recreation area, and clean swimming pools. The bonus: there was a church within walking distance, so on Easter Sunday, we didn't have to miss the Mass.
As usual, we had pot luck. A sister assigned a dish/meal for each family to bring, and we got assigned to do breakfast.
What better way to wake up clammy stomachs after a night of swimming and singing, and parlour gam
es? Longsilog! Different types of longaniza: garlic, sweet, spicy, small and stout, long and thin. With eggs - either over-easy or omelet, and Davao-type bananas, "saguing na saba, " fried in olive oil and topped with muscovado-sugar. I was planning on doing pancakes for the tykes, but since it was labour-intensive, I gave up on the idea.
The kids had a blast going for the Easter egg hunt.
