Summer, here we come!

It’s already March, isn’t it? ^^ Well, in other places, it’s just spring. But here in the Philippines, it’s summer time! So, do you already feel the summer breeze?

Anyway, I just discovered something while I was searching the net. Do you know that there are many superstitions about March? We often hear that "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." This means that the first day of March is often stormy, and the last day is mild and warm. According to most farmers, if there is rain for the first 3 days of the month, this predicts a bad harvest later in the year. Could this be true? I heard that since yesterday, there was rainfall in most parts of the Philippines. Hmm, interesting, huh?
