The Benefits of Summer on Cost Cutting

March 28, 2008 · Filed Under general 

For most parts of Metro Manila, the heat is bearable but very uncomfortable. It’s very hot indeed and whenever I would see water, it’s like I’m seeing heaven. Whenever I watch TV today, my eyes bulge whenever I see beaches and swimming pools and I feel very hot that indeed, if I can get into the screen and dive directly into the waters, I would definitely do it.

Taking a bath these days is not just for hygiene purposes. I take a bath now more than twice a day not including the quick shower. It’s so hot it’s a relief to take quick or long baths. In the past, I would never take a bath without hot water and there was a time I was pestering my husband to buy me a tankless water heater because I thought it would be cost effective.

Anyway, taking baths with hot water is surely keeping our LPG cost high. With the summer on, we’re sweating like crazy but we were able to save on gas. That’s one advantage of the summer heat eh.

Well, I’d rather see the sun than the dark clouds. It’s such a beautiful summer and than lamenting and wasting it, I’d rather look at the bright side of things, I’m saving on gas and it’s very essential these days because the government can’t do anything anymore about the continuous oil price increase. *sigh

    Lad Madrigal: Nakakatuwa, napaka informative at talagang helpful ang blog mo. Rating: 11 out of 10 haha.
    Edelweiza: Hi der! I admire BF, too. I always see him during Cabinet events in the Palace as our office is the one in-charge of them. It’s his strong character and sincere efforts to “urbanize” the metropolis and us city dwellers that keeps me an avid fan. He belongs to a very rare breed of public officials that really walk the talk. I think he deserves all the support he can get from Filipinos. :D
    Dennis: I was once a passerby, ngaun mukang magiging regular reader at “avid fan” na din! hahaha!

    Meeh: Maituturing na ang marikina ay nakilala sa paggawa ng mga dekalidad na sapatos na nagdala sa ating lugar upang makilala sa ibang panig ng pilipinas at sa ibang bansa…at ipinagmamalaki ko na ako ay isang marikenya…mabuhay!
