May Roses

I always forget about the roses in May, even those balmy afternoon filled with the scent of acacia is lost in memory... but I won't ever forget May for one thing, my sister's birthday!(It's so close, ay Raccoonie!?)

Each passing day the weather feels more like summer, I'm ashamed to admit that my recent diet includes bottles of cola and even more ice-creams, also I've been craving the super-simple-summer-repelling-dessert that is a bowl of sliced watermelons (or fruit salad) floating in a pool of icy cold soda. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I hate summer! Summer means being sweaty 24 hours (I hate hate hate summer!), but summer also means lighter clothing like this, if summer days were always comfortable, airy, cool, and fluffy why would there be any problem?

I've been a little busy and I'm going to be busier with my studies, but I promise I'll try my best to not neglect this blog. I'll make sure I'll take lots of photos and write stories (If I had any!), I will!

    I totally agree, I don't like summer, I get really sweaty haha. I've never tried fruit in soda before? It sounds really good though.

      It is tastes like watermelon with soda hahaha, I know it isn't special but as a kid I used to eat those every summer carnival, it's because of the memories (they taste better)

    Australian summers are the worst, so dry. I hope this summer is a lovely moderate cool one for you. Enjoy it x

    I absolutely hate summer too! I wish I could be Elsa from Frozen, then I'd make it winter all year long.

    I hear ya. I think that's why I gravitate towards linen. It allows me to be covered and stay cool.

    I hate summer too! In Australia, summer temperature gets to 117 degrees and it is 95 at its coolest. Not to mention the heat waves! Winter is definitely my favourite. Can't wait to see more pictures and read more stories x

      Goodness, that sounds awful :((
      I really prefer winter over summer but I hate thick coats in winter (I need it but it's uncomfortable)

    There are lots of things that I love about summer but I am with you in that I hate when it's way too hot and you are dripping with sweat.

    You should come and spend summer in Luxembourg! It's rainy, cold, and grey. You'd be missing the sweaty days ;)

    yes. I hate summer as well. It turns me into a human sauna and it's unbearable!
    But hey! You're doing justice if you're having ice creams during summer cos they are the best remedies available to the scorching sun!
    So don't feel guilty there and I'd say you should go for a brain freeze ;)
    btw, thanks for the drop by! :D

    I think in the UK we love summer because we only really ever get a couple of weeks where it's actually hot enough to complain about...

    i agree with Nathaniel above - the UK is known for its rare summer days, so i love it when it happens - but the ridiculous heat in Tokyo during summer is something i definitely don't miss! x

    I have to admit I am not a summer person either! I very much prefer spring and fall even though they are so short here! Luckily I live where it is nearly desert dry so I don't have to worry about humidity!

    Oh no, I would hate summer too if I lived in a hot country. I am anxious about being back in HK in August because it's just so humid....

    Hi Ellie! I just came across a comment you left me on my blog months ago! I'm so sorry I missed it but I'm so glad I found your blog. It's incredible that you live in Korea! I agree that summer can get pretty uncomfortable sometimes - I'm already ready for fall! I'm excited for it to become cozier :) I hope you are having a magical summer despite the heat :) Your blog is so sweet!
