I so adore summer…. and the sultriness of its season…there is this nostalgic wistfulness about it that makes me long for those languid afternoons playing by the roadside creek enroute to my mama’s remote ilocos village…. or for dusty country rides in my papa’s little jeepney…. that 1940’s 4×4 that never failed to turn many a manileños heads with its clanky motormouth and its carefully slow but bumpy presence on the road. These all helped define my youth … and they will forever make me long for summer days in my papa’s old jeepney….wishing we still had it today … to make our beach trips doubly fun than how they are these days…………. (can’t believe i had fringes at age 8…..)
