            Summer is the hottest and the perfect time to have beach.  Family, friends, classmates, officemates, lovers usually spend time together and visit several resorts which are accessible and have good ambiance. Summer can’t be a summer without enjoying swimming. It’s good to rest and relieve stress from daily work and school stuff. When you are in the seashore you can’t feel any pressure because of the beautiful site and the sound of the waves is merely innocent unlike the noise in the city where you spend so much time listening to stressful voice. You will really feel good as the wind from the sea touches your face and the sun makes reflection in the water. There are many things you can perform in the beach such as scuba diving, banana boat riding, paddle boarding, kayaking, jet skiing, surfing, and the most famous of all swimming. All of these activities can help you forget the problems in work and it can even make you feel younger and confident. On the other hand make sure first the safety of each colleague especially when you are with children, don’t let them swim alone to avoid accident of drowning. Important tip before going to swim is to apply sun block lotion to prevent from skin burning due to heat of the sun. Of course the most important of all are the food and drinks. Beach tripping can’t be complete without these because you will be forced to drink the seawater to fill your empty stomach. Try to make your summer a memorable one and just enjoy, relax, feel the nice character of the sea.

                
Philippine Issues 1:31 am

                                 NFA rice
 

            Every time I watch news in the television, rice issue is very popular and got the perfect attendance on all national and local networks. Some conflicts in the society are due to the issue of rice shortage. But government is really insisting that there’s no rice crisis. It’s really a burden for the Filipino people to cope up with the high price of the commercial rice unlike before they can even buy a one sack of rice. Right now the NFA rice is the common one; the people have no other choice but to buy this type of rice because has a lowest price compared to thirty plus commercial rice. Although it is more affordable, people are still suffering from falling in line under the heat of the sun and the limitation in buying. It causes more conflicts and burden especially to those ordinary Filipino people who earn minimum wages in which their salary is still the same. The unavailability of NFA rice in some markets and stores is also the problem of the people because they will be forced to go to other place where it is available and additional cost for fare. The organization who handles the NFA rice implemented this type of system in buying maybe because of rice shortage or time will come that there will no more supply of rice. It is a painful reality in the Philippines right now and there’s still no solution on this. Remedy is not enough to fill in the empty stomach of the Filipino people.
