Beauty of Summer I love traveling. I am always thankful whenever I get the chance to go somewhere specially when it is for free.

Nick Joaquin’s “Summer Solstice” is one of the many intoxicating stories he’s made. It could have been attributed to the author’s state of mind while writing his stories. He shares this kind of style with Edgar Allan Poe and Ernest Hemingway. They love to drink and write. I love to drink and drink… milk.
