Day-Out Gears

During rainy season, there are many things to look out if you have errands to run to.  It would prove helpful if you guard yourself against the erratic weather conditions and the dangers lurking around.  

Rain or shine, bring an umbrella with you, preferably the foldable one that would fit right into your sling bag. "Foldables" or folding umbrellas are hassle-free especially if you are going to commute. If you have no umbrella or you hate tugging along one, try to bring a cap instead.  


Umbrellas are very affordable in Divisoria and Baclaran (Manila) and Manalili St. (Cebu City), and if you will buy at least three pieces, you are sure to get them at a wholesale price.


Along with your umbrella, slid your sunglasses inside that bag.  Your pair of raybans or "Divisoria" shades will assure you of a fine and migraine-free day.


Tuck a baby linen instead of a hanky; this will be very handy whether Mr. Sun is out or not.  Baby linens' "wiping" performance is simply excellent (in case you'll get sweaty climbing up the sky walk or a bit "dampy" under the rain). 

Since you are going out, apply some mosquito-repellant lotion, and bring with you a small bottle of it for some repeat application later.  You can't be too careless enough in these dengue-forsaken times.


In case you are torn between putting that mosquito-repellant lotion or your sun lotion, of course, get a rub-dub of that repellant.  You'll never know what kind of mosquito you will meet on your way out of the door.  You simply do not have the freedom to choose which ones you like to bit you!
