I Almost Got Rained On In Paris

June 29, 2017 - 43rd wedding anniversary of my parents and where else would I best celebrate it?  Of course, it must be in the city of love - Paris!

One of my random videos while I was in Paris.  I was so tired already when I went to Louvre, my supposed-to-be last stop.  The weather was not cooperating.  The sky was a bit gloomy.  I was afraid it would rain as it was on-and-off drizzling then.  I just roamed around a little bit before deciding to go back to the hotel.  Despite the exhaustion, the almost-did-not-happen visit was extremely worth it!  Another gigantic check in my bucket list! :)

December Weather

I woke up to a cloudy morning today. Few minutes after, rain poured. I wondered then if there was an approaching typhoon. So, I checked online for a weather update, and here's what I got (see the image on the right side of this post):

I just love this cool weather.. especially on a weekend.. when I get to stay and enjoy home.  The soft gentle breeze blowing thru my window just hit me that Christmas season is now here to stay for at least a month.

I guess I should now start my Christmas countdown. Merry Christmas!!!  :)

This Is Really Hot!

Woooa!  Weather at this time is unbelievable!

37 degrees celcius!  How's that?!

My officemates went out earlier at around noontime.  They complained of the unbearable hot weather, which was then recorded at 35 degrees celcius only.  What more if it is 2 degrees celcius higher?!

I will be going out in a few minutes.  Wish me luck! :)

How's The Weather?

Wooa!  36 degrees celcius!  How's that?!  That is what I just recently saw from the weather monitor shown on the computer's screen!  Indeed, global warming is already here!

The news from TV reported that Metro Manila felt the hottest temperature at 36+ degrees celcius.  I suddenly remember that I haven't watered my plants since the other night.  I can only imagine that, right now, my plants are now busy... busy dying.  Waaaa!

I wish I could go home now and make up with them.  But then if I would, I might have already been slowly but surely roasted in a hot, scorching weather long before I reach my destination...

I'm Expecting Another Electric Shock

Just when I thought that summer days were already over, I spent my recent weekend at home with the aircon striving to keep my condo unit cool all day and night.  In fact, when I left home this morning, I was so uncomfortable with the hot weather that I was almost tempted to take a leave of absence, stay home, and prolong my 3-day vacation with just another day.  Sigh... if only!

I wonder how much will my power consumption costs this time.  I guess I should consider again my deferred plan of buying a cooler fan.  Sigh again...

Rainy Days Are Here Again?

I was greeted by a cool breeze when I got out from the office last night. Few minutes after, heavy rains fell. I thought it was just one of the ironic twists of the El Niño phenomenon.

But then just after lunch, I heard my officemate mentioned that somebody just got drenched in the rain. Too busy to even check the weather thru the window outside, I continued with my preaudit task.

However at about 3pm+, I happened to glance at my pc's monitor.  There, the weather reported a 28 degrees celsius temperature for metro manila.  This is good news!

But when I checked the weather at the pag-asa website, the reason why metro manila is experiencing a ceasefire from El Niño is due to the fact that there is a low pressure area (LPA) which was estimated "based on satellite and surface data at 310 km northwest of Puerto Princesa City".

As much as I would like to be worried with the possibility of LPA developing into a typhoon, just the mere thought of  the unbearable hot weather gives me a selfish excuse to rejoice despite the threat of another possible calamity.

Well, prayer is still the best weapon in combating disasters, whether man-made or otherwise.

For the meantime, I would just like to hold on to my pocket and defer my plan of buying a cooler fan while savoring aircon-free nights at home.

This must be my cue now to wrap up and head towards my waiting sanctuary. Until then!

Ciao!
