End of Summer
Last week, Pasig’s water lilies have all died. The dark soupy water had simmered for a month under the hot blistering sun. A distinctive stench hung over the area.
Several employees called in sick with symptoms ranging from a nagging headache to unsightly rashes.
Tempers flared dangerously and everyone’s on semi-boil. Pavements were as hot as dangerous passions. And only the desperate ventured out on scalding noon day sun.
Ice Monster, Selecta’s 3-in-1 flavours and other ice delights have lost its power to appease.
The electric bill arrived stating five times the average consumption.
Last week, Pag-asa declared that rains will be early this year. I beg to differ. It’s just in time.
