|June 21 2025
Only one week and two days left to June, and then half the year is off, out, like a candle, and no more! Like they say, how time flies... on invisible wings, flying faster and faster, the older you get.
According to an astrologer, the Philippines is a Gemini country, a belief strengthened by the fact that her Independence Day falls on the 12th of June. It was also the astrologer’s opinion that a Gemini country has more Geminis living in it than any other sign. I don’t know how true that is, only that in my immediate family there are five of us June-borns plus a sister and a sister-in-law.
