Keeping Your Furnished Apartment Cool

-
by: Mrs. Aileen B. Soriano

Summer in the Philippines is pleasant but still warm.

Best way to keep your short term stay apartment cool  without
having your electricity bill spiraling high are the following:

a. Wear cotton clothing. Indian, Chinese and Filipino Cotton
cloth are really good.

b. Bye tube ice that costs Php 30.oo per pack. Soak the
whole pack of tube ice in a big bowl with at least 5 c of
water. Turn on the electric fan.

c. Keep water in handy

d. Always clean your rented furnished residential unit.

e. Eat dessert called halo-halo!

Otherwise... just turn on the air conditioning :).
