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...

Pacquiao, Please Get Ready For Mayweather

As expected, Mayweather maintained his title and won the fight.  No doubt, he is still undefeated.

When asked over an after-fight interview if Manny Pacquiao wants to fight him, Mayweather confidently said that he "is easy to find".  But then he wants Pacquiao to take urine and blood tests.  Is he implying that Pacquiao is taking performance-enhancing drugs?  Hmmm...  Something is fishy here...

I guess Pacquiao should just concede to Mayweather's condition and face the challenge. I'm sure everyone will be looking forward to it. :)

They Should Now Stop The Fight

Update: I don't want to watch the fight anymore.  It is pretty obvious!  Pretty Boy is still unbeatable.  Mosley is already catching his breath.  I took pity on him...

Hey, any second from now, the winner will be declared.

Mayweather and Mosley Fight Update From My Point of View

I'm currently watching the fight of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Shane Mosley from my non-cable TV at GMA-7 channel.  I may not know it but maybe as of this writing,  the winner may have already been declared...  Nevertheless..

Although it was a delayed telecast, and aside from the fact that my monitor was hazy (that's what I got for not getting a cable subscription), I still persevere for the main reason that I am visibly impressed with the unbelievable speed and strength of Mayweather.  I wonder if Mosley will survive this fight.  More than that, I wonder if Manny Pacquiao will be able to match, if not beat, Mayweather's boxing capability.

I'll stop for now.  I'll be posting another update later. :)

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!

Yes!!! No Work On May 3!

You heard it right!

May 3 is declared as non-working holiday!

I googled just a few minutes ago to find out whether May 3 will be declared as non-working holiday since Labor Day (May 1) falls on a Saturday.

It's confirmed!!!  Malacañang has decided to move the observance of Labor Day from Saturday to Monday, May 3!

Accordingly, the deferral of the observance of holiday to the nearest working day is consistent with its holiday economics policy.  This is one policy of Arroyo Administration that I really appreciate.  However, I would have been more thankful had Malacañang announced it earlier so as to give workers, like me, the chance to properly plan on what to do with the long weekend.  Sigh!

Nevertheless,  I'm still grateful.  :)
