TEAM GALA: The Extroverted Summer Experience
For those who live by the motto, “Mainit na nga, sayang naman kung nasa bahay lang!”, summer is all about making memories. Extroverts thrive on social energy, and the season provides endless opportunities for group trips, spontaneous outings, and Instagram-worthy moments.
Why They Love It
The appeal of an extroverted summer lies in shared experiences. Beach trips with the barkada, island-hopping adventures, and food crawls create bonds and stories that last beyond the season. There’s also the satisfaction of maximizing vacation leaves—because why stay home when there’s a whole country to explore?
However, even the most enthusiastic gala enthusiasts face challenges:
- Budget woes – Gas, toll fees, and overpriced tourist spots can drain wallets fast.
- Crowded destinations – Fighting for the perfect photo spot or dealing with long lines can test patience.
- Post-adventure exhaustion – The puyat-but-happy cycle is real, but recovery takes time.
TEAM BAHAY: The Introverted Summer Retreat
For those who believe “Summer is just a hotter version of my peace,” staying in is the ultimate luxury. Introverts see the season as a chance to indulge in uninterrupted me-time—whether that means binge-watching K-dramas, gaming all night, or simply enjoying the sweet relief of air conditioning.
Why They Love It
The beauty of an introverted summer is its simplicity. No stressful itineraries, no sunburn, and no forced socializing—just pure, guilt-free relaxation. It’s also the perfect time to catch up on hobbies, online shopping, or even mid-day naps without judgment.
But even the most content homebodies have their moments of doubt:
- FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) – Seeing friends’ beach photos on Instagram can spark second thoughts.
- Family pressure – Relatives asking, “Bakit wala kang plano?” can be annoying.
- Occasional boredom – After weeks indoors, even introverts might crave one coffee date.
Still, for Team Bahay, the comfort of home outweighs any fleeting FOMO.
Which Side Are You On?

Which Side Are You On?
There’s no right or wrong way to enjoy summer—whether you’re Team “Sobra na ang social battery!” or Team “Labas na, ang boring sa bahay!”, the best approach is the one that recharges you. Some may alternate between both, proving that summer isn’t just about extremes, but balance.
So, where do you stand? #TeamGala or #TeamBahay?
