Sumer Is Icumen In?

It is the twenty second of June in the Philippines, just two days after Helios reached his zenith. How am I supposed to enjoy Midsummer with all this rain?



But then again, had I been in Sweden or Greece today, I would be missing the July rains all the same.



So this is the price one pays for being a bi-cultural miscegenate, eh? Emotional ambivalence for the seasons!

  2. No problem.

    I am missing the midsummer of my forefathers. I never got to experience it.

  3. it was an experience when i celebrated midsommar afton in Malung, north of Sweden back in 2007. my Swedish friends laughed at me when i kept on jumping just to fight the chill off...9 degrees on a summer night. it was crazy for a tropical asian like me.
