I cannot believe it is already September. Where did the summer go? If I had the power to rewind the clocks of time, I will make summer longer than winter. That probably holds true to most Canadians/Americans.
In the Philippines, it is different. The first day of September marks the beginning of the "ber" months (September to December). One can here the song "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" or any Christmas carol played on the airwaves/TV shows. Owners of malls and all types of establishments adorn their stores/businesses with Christmas decoration. Christmas is definitely in the air. Some will find it really weird, but it is the culture back home and that's what make Christmases back home extra special.
Here in our neck of the woods, the good ol' North America, summer's about to say adieu and autumn is just around the corner. I hate to say it but winter is not that far away. Last week on the way to Ottawa I saw some trees began changing colours, it's beautiful but kind of sad because the thought of the long winter months is depressing. We really cannot complain, we have had gorgeous summer weather this year. We just wish it was longer.
