ARE YOU HOT?

No, this isn't a question directed towards that Candy girl who's been trying to chat it up with me on my tag board over there on the right (can't blame her though). It's just that the past few weeks have been blistering, scorching, searing, burning, sweat-forming-in-every-nook-and-cranny-of-your-body hot.

I unfortunately don't have the luxury of an air conditioner and all I have to soothe my heat-ravaged body is a dinky little stand fan that is fighting a losing battle. Someone pointed out to me that once it gets really hot, walls made from cement tend to absorb the heat during the day and release it at night. Sure enough, my room, with all of its walls made from concrete is the hottest one in the house and unfortunately, the one I have to suffer through a restless night's sleep in.

I have contemplated sleeping in the bare (gotcha - can't get the image out of your head now, huh?) but reconsidered since I don't want to explain the butt-shaped sweat stain that would imbed itself upon my sheets.

Welcome news is that a typhoon is on its way. Somehow, the property damage and potential loss of life seem to take a back seat to the thought of a reprieve from this heat.

Is it hot in here or is it just me?

Yes, hot! And not the kind I'd care for.

I live in a concrete BUILDING. In a concrete CITY. In this sweltering country.

I never thought the day would come that I would welcome the news of a typhoon. And you, Jay, are today's bearer of good news. :)
