THE DAYS are very hot with no rain falling though everybody is expecting a soothing shower at any hour of the day. The cool breeze penetrating through the shimmering tree leaves in the afternoon is indeed a kind of solace to cool off the day and dry up the sweats from our body.

By the end of the tiring yet fulfilling day of teaching and learning I always find a hope of grey gold dawn everytime I watch the sunset which leaves behind the beautiful paint kissing the western horizon. Sometimes the clouds wear purple mixed with a shade of grey. Most of the time the sunset leaves behind crimson kissing the western mountains.

As the sun dips far beyond the west leaving behind what I say inspiring paints of clouds, Kagtong cools down and everybody is out refreshing and gulping in evening air. I join my friends to volleyball and football with the villagers while the housewives watch the game. The games entertain us and we entertain the viewers. This is harmony of living together in a close-knit society.
