It's already summer season in the Philippines and everybody, I'm sure, is planning to take some vacations, so where will you spend it? I planned to spend my summer in Manila to visit my sister and cousin, sounds weird considering that summer in Manila is really punishing and morbid, hahhaa. But I want to spend a grand time with my sister and cousin.hehehe. How about you?is summer excites you?

I cant wait till we have summer. But im not sure where im going yet. Hopefully to the beach or something like that. [iamamommy]
Beach is a good idea this summer, but since i grew up in the coastal area, i want something different this summer. Love to take vacation in other parts of the Philippines, like in historical Vigan or Camarines provinces. [jlamela]
i live nearby a beach so probably we will organize some small picnics during weekends when work is less.. i miss going to baguio to escape the scorching heat here in pangasinan..also the beautiful islands and white sand beaches of hundred islands..i wish i could find time to visit these beautiful places before the rainy season pours again. [grayxenon]
I love going to the beach too especially during summer. But this summer, the heat of the sun is extremely damaging that I prepare to go to the mall instead. Pangasinan is such a nice place, I passed their once, when I and my colleagues went to Baguio for our retreat.I love to visit Pangasinan especially the 100 islands. Maybe someday. [jlamela]
Hello jlamela :) Yeah summer always excites me, especially during my whole student years because after all the studying, finally I'll have a two-month rest to enjoy myself and my time with the family. Usually we go to different places in Luzon like Baguio and Tagaytay since we prefer to be in cold places than in beaches :) My most unforgettable summer would be just last year in Camarines Sur when I tried wakeboarding for the first time and I met one of the world's greatest wakeboarder, Reuben Buchanan. ;)) During that time we also went to Donsol, Sorsogon to experience diving with the whalesharks. Compared to all my summers, I think the last year's summer for me is the best because that is my last summer as a student and I am with the whole kinsfolk and I tried different things I have never done in my entire life. Now that I am setting myself off to job-hunting, I don't think there will be summers like those anymore. I have to face reality that I have to find a job to support my family. My graduation is on March 26 and though it's still two more weeks I already miss being a student. But of course I know I have to grow and I'll surely miss those summers as a student. :) My advice to all the students: Enjoy your summer, but do worthwhile and unforgettable experiences than just sitting in the couch watching TV. Try something daring and new or do a charity work. Those summers are just once in a lifetime so better make it memorable. [cecillecarmela]
Hello cecille carmela, Haaaaay, I'm keeping my finger cross there's a chance for me to visit Camarines sur, I want to see the historical places there. I have a friend who had gone to this province and told me it was a wonderful province!hope someday i can go there. Good luck in your job hunting and God bless! [jlamela]
we have plans, going to near by beach and taking over night swimming, wow summer spirit is really hear, well its obvious because of the suns heating as more and more each day hehe.....the worse thing to spend summer is to stay within the populated city of manila.hihi [Charm21]
Just choose over night swimming because daylight is such a punishing idea to think about this summer to hit the beach!yes it's true, Manila is not a good idea to think about this summer but I loved the malls there.hehehe [jlamela]
At the seaside...my fav place of course. i love the beach, waves, the sun. It is all fantastic. having a drink by the sea is just incredible. in the summer I always go sunbathing somewhere near the sea I could do it for a whole month. [pcserver]
Taking a leisure trip to a seaside is always a welcome and relaxing welcome during summer season. We can feel inner peace and the environment is so cool and soothing, but I don't do something when i am in the beach because I am afraid of the ultra violet radiation even if I put on sunblock. [jlamela]
Ahhh summer, more work and a/c at the office while it scorches outside. seems like a fair trade for an almost non-existent vacation summer used to excite me during my student days but now that i'm working, notsomuch [frissph]
I must admit that I really needed some vacation though I am very much attached to my work and obligations. I plan to have some at the place of my mother somewhere in Zamboanga. I want to meet my relatives there because it's been a long ago since the last time I visited the place. It's the just a small town and nothing so much particular and special but I miss the fishing activity there. [eds282006]
I want to go to Manila also but I was planning to just stay here so that I won't be wasting money. My plan is still unsure but if given a chance, I'll go to MOA... ^_^ [eLsMarie]
I would spend my summer vocation in Goa, i really love to go near beaches i am planning a lot that what i will do i think i will enjoy a lot. [binagupta]
Hello there! I am just curious where in the world Goa can be found?hehe. This is my first time to hear this place, sounds strange but exciting! [jlamela]
I'm planning to go on a road trip this summer going to different beaches. Maybe i will head out to the northern part of the Philippines. La Union area would be great with its surfing sites. I wish I would have enough time to go on vacation due to some work issues. I hope to work on my plans on the last week of march. [brando10]
Hello Brando! I would love to visit la union too because of its breath taking beaches!but it is too far from Davao city where I currently live. Hope someday I can find time to visit La Union and experience surfing. [jlamela]
We spend usually our hott summer in OOty an hillstation in india,chennai. We have our apple estate and u can get the best apples over there. Its best place for me as our summer are real bad. Ooty is such a cool weather,it attracts many tourists too. Also during the season, there will be flower shows which adds more beauty to the hillstation! [besthope44]
Wow! I like the way you describe your place!that's a great place I suppose. I mean I always love fruits and flowers, it always add to the fascination of the environment. [jlamela]
As far as I am concerned, I think I am so glad to see that the summer's coming. For me, I usually llok forward to seeing the summer vacation's coming as quickly as possible. I willchoose a plae ,where is full of water and mountain . With these , I think I can have a fresher mood. The view is hwat I usually dream about going to. [monkeylong]
Hello! Yes, like you I always wanted to go to a place with a full view of a mountain or a lake or a river or a beach, because it is so relaxing and peaceful and I can think better. [jlamela]
Springtime is on its way in sweden,and many people have begun to plan for the summer. But as usually,I shall not go anywhere. I´ve never liked to travel away,and there has been many summers when I´ve been working. It also coast a lot to travel away. And as I live in the world´s most beautiful capital,I see no reason to travel away. [zoega59]
Hello, That's perfect! I always admire people who love their own place and country.I do agree with you, Sweden is such a lovely country. I wish I could travel in Europe too. Thanks for sharing! [jlamela]
Hi there. Last summer we went abroad, and just last January 2010, my family planned to go out of the country again, but there are situations that we didn't expect to happen and I think those plans will never happen now. It's sad, but it's okay. I think we'll be spending our summer here in the Philippines. happy [sophieblue]
This is a subject that is really weighing heavily on my mind recently. Last year our family didn't have the opportunity to have a vacation, so this year it is something that we are seriously planning on doing. We are seriously considering visiting a beach this year, although we haven't decided where. A big part of me thinks that we are probably going to end up at Virginia Beach because that is where my cousin lives and we haven't seen her in over a year. [dorannmwin]
I always love US beaches especially Miami and Virginia, such wonderful places to take some relaxation. Hope you're safe in your beach trip!thanks and God bless! [jlamela]
Hello there jlamela.. Well, im excited about summer since i can do non-academic things but can still help me in my studies.. this summer, we decided to go to Hong Kong And Macau before my summer classes starts.. Have a nice day! [fheroan]
That's a lot cheaper already considering Macau is included in the itinerary. I am wishing also I can avail this kind of promo someday.hehehe. Goodluck and have a safe trip tour. [jlamela]
