Printable buko juice coloring page
Why? Because I’m hot and stressed.
Also coloring black and white drawings of cold drinks brings children and children at heart closer to being cool. Ok you’re probably still better off getting an actual cold glass of buko juice though.
Sharing here art that I made highlighting my favorite electrical lights in the world. Sorry I mean electrolytes. This is healthier than Gatorade and the oddly-named Pocari Sweat. I say odd because it seems odd you would name a cloudy-colored drink with the word sweat, but it has indeed helped me during times of dengue and/or LBM. If you don’t know what LBM stands for, it’s a bit TMI. If you don’t know what TMI stands for, I can’t help you anymore sorry.
I digress. It’s been a stressful month. Wars, fake news, idiot male toxicity, you name it the world has it. I’ve also been working part time as a Communications Officer for an environment NGO, stressing about how to get people to become more involved in conserving the environment in the midst of all the chaos coming out of our “for you” feeds.
On top of this, temperatures are rising. My clock reads 32 ºC (89 ºF) but it already feels like 40º. I did a remote call with an intern I manage at work, and he confessed he had a long week thanks to the heat. A colleague asked me to create infographics about forest fires, as he complained about rising temperatures where he lived and the increasing risk of fires to our remaining forests.
With that, that’s a photo of my favorite drink in the world. I can’t believe I used to love Pepsi. It’s probably because growing up in the 90’s in the US of A we were told to choose between Coke and Pepsi as if they were the only two things you could drink in a capitalist society. 7-up was for yuppies. Those were all successful campaigns because I still remember them, and I could almost taste the sweet fizzy caramel-like commercialized ambrosia going down my throat on a warm summer day.
Fast forward to today where I don’t have a television anymore. Instead we have a large screen with Netflix and YouTube. The only commercials we see are YouTube ads, and for some reason they’re all about laundry detergents.
Also, when I walk out on a super hot day and see manong buko juice vendor sitting under a rainbow micromatic umbrella selling ice cold buko juice with buko meat inside for P10 a pop – that’s my commercial now. Whoever is outside ringing a bell, honking a horn, or playing a looped recording of either the words, “BULINAW” “TAHOOO” “PAN DE SAL” – that is what is being sold to me.
I kinda forget already why I started writing this. But I just want to say daghang salamat to the buko juice vendors who nourish me on a weekly, almost daily basis. I think you’ve saved my life a few times, and in heat like this, it really feels like you do.
