The heat is debilitating. It’s just too hot. At 7 in the morning, the heat is already very intense. By 8 am, I could not even step on the laminate flooring because it’s nakakapaso.
Behind our house is like a jungle, full of trees, planted and ligaw na puno. These don’t help at all. Or maybe they do. Can you imagine if there are no trees around our house? Mas lalo ng mainit.
I go up to the deck every morning and night to water the few surviving potted plants. Nakakawawa sila, buti buhay pa.
My son and his friend wanted to eat merienda on the roof deck. I set up the table but he forgot to switch on the aircon at least half hour before their intended eating time. Ang init, they couldn’t bear the heat.
They didn’t finish tuloy the pasta that we prepared. I just ate their left-over food.
Last friday, Edmund and I had several meetings starting at 10 am, then 12 then 2 pm in different locations. Grabe and init. Baba sakay ng kotse. The aircon was not cold enough. By 2:30 pm, I began feeling weird. Then I had migraine attack which persisted till midnight. Para akong ma hi-heat stroke.
I don’t want to go out na when it’s too hot. I told my husband, sana next year, pag summer sa Pilipinas, punta na lang kami sa Iceland! O sa Baguio na lang para mas mura at malapit.
Hi Ms Annie.. Next time po, always keep a couple of bottled water in a thermal bag stocked with ice para anytime u had to leave the house and the car, dka masyado maiinitan at dmo gaano mararamdaman ang sobrang init sa labas.. Nakaka-heat stroke talaga ang init sa paligid natin.. Kahit 5pm onwards, mainit pa rin sa labas.. Pls take good care of urself .. God bless u always…
