My summer Break

Philippines
April 9, 2013 8:29pm CST
I am pretty jealous about my classmates spending their summer at beaches, concerts and random outing on different places. But as for me, I am just spending my whole summer in our locality doing some chores and going out to play in the internet cafe with my friends. One of those chores I am doing is repainting our rooftop under the very hot sun. Just a good way to really feel its summer What do you think?

Well, not everyone has the opportunity to enjoy life as they desire . However, if you could spend it beneficially it is the best you could have

Yes I agree with you there. I do have a lot of things I wanted to do right now yet circumstances is being a hindrance. As for the moment, I am just making the most out of what I have and be productive with it.

Hi, Why are you not going for outing this summer? If not enjoy the time with your friends. Ty to be happy with friends who are with you. Don't be jealous. You would get chance in next summer. Repairing rooftop in hot summer is very difficult job.

Its not really repairing but rather repainting but its also difficult and hot too for I cannot apply the paint if the sun is not out. We are quite low on funds now and my parents do not really allow me to go out during summer if it would just be for outing purposes. It really needs to be something important or something related in our academics.

The danger of comparing what we have, or don't have, and comparing ourselves to others it makes us feel 'depressed' and we become disgruntled at what we have in comparison, but hey, spending their summer at beaches is not always that wonderful, it can be pretty boring, and what if they get sun burnt, or things don't turn out the way they want it to. Often we only look at one side of things, you can get just as much fun as your classmates doing what you want to do and enjoying it. Maybe some of your classmates are jealous at what you are doing!

Haha, therefore I conclude your summer break is kinda boring.haha. Yet I can relate to you since mine is also boring. I have to work at our shop for the whole day everyday and that makes me more stressed and tan as well. Lol. But still, I hope your summer break would be fun.

What a nice summer break, when i was still studying, i rather spend my summer vacation helping with my parents rather than to spending money to go beach party, travelling and others. I have a plan in my mind that time that, when i finish my studies and have a good job, that's the time that i have a luxurious vacation because i have now my own money to spend. I have an attitude that when i do something for fun, i see to it that i will spend my own money, not the money of my parents or other person, i feel awkward about it when someone is paying for me just to have fun or just to be with them, though for them bonding moments is more important than money, but still i will now allow it, i know the fact the it is hard to earn money now a days.

We've spent our summer vacation much earlier than expected this year. But we're still planning to spend a week summer vacation due to this hot weather. My two sons are yet to finish painting our roof too - they do it late afternoon to avoid the hot scorching sun.

There are so many times that we are not really able to do the things that we enjoy during the off months of the year from work or school, it really is something that has to do with our finances. I know that my children just went back to school yesterday after their spring break and they've been telling me about the wonderful things that their classmates got to do over the break and all that we were able to do was to stay at home. It is my hope that we will be able to take a vacation over the summer holidays, but at this point I don't even know if that is something that is going to be possible for us.
