While I'd been so comfortable with the crisp spring air, summer is making its presence felt. Summer's punishing heat can be unbearable and sucks out all the energy out of me.
No matter how hot the day, our group of friends still managed to have a little get together at Warren's house to watch the boxing match between the Philippine's pride Manny Pacquiao against Antonio Margarito of Mexico. Although I'm not into boxing (at all - too gruesome!), I did end up having a good time today. MJ and I went to church early and stopped by Granville for some El Jannah roasted chicken, with garlic sauce of course, to bring to the screening. Boys started out with some beers while I had some lemon lime and bitter. I was the only rose among the thorns as all the ladies couldn't make it for one reason or another.
But at the end of the afternoon, I'd felt so exhausted. Exhaustion not from physical exertion but from the heat. Thank God for cold showers. I feel a lot better now. Today is just a reminder of the hot Australian summer on its way. Can't do much about it but seasons change.
It just feels a bit eventful to me because, just in time as we have this seasonal change, there's a change brewing inside of me too. I used to have grey tinted lenses as I got up in morning which made everything look dreary and drab. Now, I wake up with a spring in my step and a renewed vision on life and all the good the world has to offer - including hot Australian summers.
