So lately, in San Diego, the weather has been unbelievably sweltering hot. My Yahoo! weather app showed that thunder storms were going to occur in the 90 degree weather. Thank goodness it did not, or else it would have contributed more to the humidity in the air. San Diego is known for its unchanging seasons. The weather is pretty much stable, no drastic changes to distinct each season as spring, summer, fall or winter. They all just blend together. This summer, SD was around 80 degrees which is quite bearable. But this past week got hotter and hotter. It was simply warm air floating around the environment. My apartment traps heat like no other. -.- Therefore, I thought I would show you guys how I like to cool off in the scorching August season. I know in some places around the world, August is winter time. But here in the northern hemisphere, August marks the end of summer or the arrival of autumn. But before fall arrives, a blast of heat always attacks before leaving us to the cooler months of the year.
Anywho, let's get started.

My friend and I went to Yogurtland because we had a coupon for free 5 ounces. In my opinion, plain tart is best with fruits. But then again, fruit is heavy and expensive for a yogurt topping. Frozen yogurt, also known as froyo, is a good healthy alternative to ice cream, milkshakes and the like.


When these days are feverishly hot, I like to make homemade ice tea. I am an avid tea drinker, mostly green tea. I love my YamaMotoYama green tea or genmai tea, especially since it runs about $2 per box in Asian supermarkets. I also like using chrysanthemum tea or barley when I don't want it caffeinated. But here, I have Trader Joe's ginger pear white tea in that Starbucks tumbler. I just put a tea bag into a cup and then pour hot water. I let the tea cool and then stick in the in fridge to steep and cool overnight. Then by morning, the tea is refreshing and chilled. It is a perfect to-go drink for the summer time, a cheap alternative to Starbucks $4 tea.
