WGT Summer
WGT’s summer earthy scent from sun-baked soil and the gentle perfume of flowering sampaguita weigh heavy. Our leisurely pace of life naturally complements the constant drone of cicadas. Rather than about chasing the next great thrill, summer here is a leisurely immersion in the minor joys and the deep-rooted connections characterising our little town. Time seems to slow down as one mirrors the long, leisurely days and the extended twilight hours.
The Ghostlight of a WGT Summer
The Beautiful Heart Our Neighbourhood Has
With a visceral sensation of togetherness when the great noon heat starts to fade, WGT truly comes alive. These encounters are the threads holding us together and creating the very core of WGT—a feeling of belonging. Outside the markets, the much expected barangay fiestas inject vibrant celebration into the summer calendar. These are days of vivid parades with locally made colourful floats made by local families, the excitement of friendly contests, and the uniting power of food and traditional dances.
Accepting Nature’s Simplicity
Summer in WGT also offers a fantastic opportunity for us to re-establish contact with the surrounding natural beauties. One natural cool-off from the heat is the gently flowing river close-by. Families are picnicking next to its banks, children are excitedly swimming in the shallows, and the elderly population is seeking the cool shade of the trees for quiet reflection or a languid afternoon of fishing. The gentle murmur of the water sets the season in peace. Outside the boundaries of the town, a network of less-traveled routes attracts those seeking a closer relationship with the surroundings. These paths weave past fields that vary from the rich gold of the approaching harvest to the vibrant green of early rice paddies, offering breathtaking vistas related to the agricultural centre of our community. Here the air is clean and fresh, smelling like wildflowers in bloom and implying a more basic way of living.
Summer Evenings: The Lingering Enchantment
As darkness settles over WGT, another form of enchantment occurs and tints the sky orange and purple. When the air cools somewhat, the faint glimmer of fireflies beginning their midnight dance and the noises of the day give place to the chirping of crickets. Families gather on their porches, sharing stories, and laughing; the leisurely speed of conversation reflects the silence of the night. These summer evenings radiate a considerable degree of peace and satisfaction from intimate relationships and appreciation of little pleasures.
Ultimate Consideration
Not merely a season, but a WGT summer is an experience weaved from the strands of community, the tranquilly of nature, and the basic delight of shared events. This is the season when the heart of our tiny town beats a little slower so that we may value the depth of connection and the ageless beauty of a life lived in harmony with our surroundings. These are the recollections that show the special appeal of a WGT summer long after the heat of the season fades.
