Summer Look

Talking about humid and scorching heat ... I seldom used my aircon but when I did yesterday ... the air that was circulating was recycled hot air ... tumatagatak ang pawis ko ... wala na akong magawa kundi patayin ang aircon. Gusto ko man ang lamig ... pero ayaw kung ang feeling na parang nasa pugon ka na ... pagkatapos malaki pa ang mga babayarin at the end of the month sa electrical bills. That's double whammy.

This is the month na kay hirap i-maintain ang FRESHNESS mo.  Bago ka ngang paligo ... nagbihis ... isang hakbang ka pa lang sa labas ... HAGGARD na ang hitsura mo. Ginamit mo pa ang expensive mong pabango ... only to find later na amoy suka ka na.

Ang long sleeves mo na crispy na ibinababad mo pa sa gawgaw para magmukha kang pang-office exec ang dating  ... ay MAASIM na ...  AMOY PAWIS at ARAW pa. Ang mukha mong MAKINTAB na kalahating oras mong sinabon ... back to being OILY and GREASY ulit.

The feeling that you just stepped out of the shower ... is just a state of mind ... because the real summer look will have soon a grand entrance - drained, wilted, sweaty, and worn out.

Hindi na uso ang spic and span and immaculately spotless na get - up going to work. Sa summer ... uso yong parang galing ka sa jogging at sa work out ... or "hinabol ka ng asong ulol" look . Out of character ka ... if you look crisp and crunchy.

Summer nga eh ... kaya panindigan na. Kaya pagpasok mo bukas sa trabaho dapat in character ka. You have to be in sync with your role as a prototypal Pinoy going to work under extreme weather conditions.

If it is summer - a typical Pinoy should look drenched in sweat and perspiration ... if it is rainy ... he is drenched with rain ... or maybe flood.
