Ang hirap pala ng sobrang init. Lalo na kung medyo sinisipon ka. Ang bilis matuyo ng sipon mo sa ilong. Alam mo na kung ano mangyayari sa sipon kapag natuyo di ba? Kaya ayun, dinudugo ang ilong ko kakalinis araw-araw. Hindi naman pwedeng hindi mo linisin, dahil ang hirap huminga ng maraming laman ang ilong mo. At isa pa, baka biglang may lumabas dun habang nakikipag-usap ka sa boss mo. Dyahe un!
Anyway, back to the topic. Yup sobrang init dito, imagine 104 degrees on the Farenheit scale. That's what, about 40 degrees Celsius? Yes, THAT hot here in Austin right now. Sa umaga pa lang ramdam mo na ung init. We leave the hotel at around 7:30 to 7:45 AM, and the temperature is already at the the high 80's to low 90's. Oh man, sana nasa Pinas na lang ako ngayon, mainit dun pero hindi ganitong kainit. Sobrang dry kase dito. Kaya lahat ng tubig mo sa katawan parang nag-eevaporate lahat. Para ngang di ka na papawisan dahil once lumabas ung pawis mo sa katawan nagiging steam na agad sa init.
Di malabong magkasakit ka dito kung di ka sanay sa weather dito. Sobrang init sa labas, tapos pag pasok mo ng building or any other establishment eh malamig. Parang niloloko ung katawan mo sa pabago-bago ng temperature na nararanasan mo. Last saturday, nagpunta kame sa isang mall. Hindi ko alam kung gutom ko lang un o epekto un ng sobrang init, pero nahilo talaga ako. Nanginginig ako sa mall. Malamig pero pinapawisan ako sobra. Nanlalambot ako. Bumili kme ni misis ng pagkain. Sa auntie anne's. Dun lang ako naging ok. Pretzel at smoothie. Nahimasmasan ako. Gutom nga lang cguro. Or pwede pa ding dahil nalamigan na konti ang katawan ko dahil dun sa smoothie.
Well, we'll still be here for another couple of weeks. Di na namin aabutan ang pag-"lamig" ng panahon dito. The "fall" season starts daw at September. We're leaving on the 24th. Sana medyo mas-"malamig" na ng konti sa panahon na un. Ang hirap mag-gala at maglibot eh. Di kaya ng car aircon ung init. Haaay, di bale, konting tiis na lang....

Battling Caloy, a bad tasting lengua, a sinking ship and 2 boxes of pizza!
Weekends should be spent as a break from a whole week's hard work. You're supposed to just stay at home, chill, relax, unwind, bond with your family. Not for me.
Two straight weeks. Two weekends. Two straight saturday OTs. One tiring Sunday outing. One stormy visit to a wedding supplier.
Back to last week. Saturday. OT. Deployment support. 18 hrs of expected standby time. 7:30 am - 1:00 am. And how busy were we then? 5 episodes of Smallville. Hundreds of web pages. A 2hour lunch. 0 hours spent for work. Now that's what i call an ideal weekend over time.. hehehe... 10.75 hours of total OT time, for totally zero work done.
Sunday. Outing. Swimming. A long walk. My fiancee's mom's birthday. An AM of swimming. An afternoon of strolling (errr... walking). A long trip to Dasmarinas. A long walk in Picnic Grove in Tagaytay. And an even longer ride home. Good thing it didn't take me long to fall asleep. I was... wasted...
Saturday again. OT. This time, there's a lot of work. 11 hours. And i still didn't finish my OT work. Medyo nakakasakit sa loob na pumasok kse i have to wake up early on the first day of the year that i'll actually enjoy sleeping and waking up. It was cold, and its raining, i mean storming, which means i won't have to wake up sweating. For the first time this year, i didn't have to make my electric fan work overtime. Too bad, i didn't enjoy that moment a bit. I was on my way to the office even before the sun was up. (The sun never did went up. Caloy didn't let her. :D)
Sunday. Scheduled meeting with a wedding supplier. Weather's still a bit windy. And i still have to wake up early. I attended mass in San Agustin Church in Intramuros Manila. At 8am. And i'm from Cavite. The scheduled meeting was for a food tasting. To finalize our menu for the wedding reception. Good thing there were several choices for the menu, because that Lengua dish really tasted aweful (at least for me). The afternoon, my fiancee and i, watched a movie. That movie about the sinking ship. No not titanic. The other one, the lord of the seas, Poseidon. Then after the movie we called it a day. We took home(my finacee's house) 2 boxes of pizza from that 'hut' that makes pizzas. Cheesy volcano meat lovers and a free palm card pepperoni pizza. I was back home at 8pm. Exhausted. Again.
Thinking of the OT pay, the sun burn i got from swimming, the quality time with my fiancee during that walk in Tagaytay, the movie, the pizza, those two weekends weren't that bad after all. I'm looking forward this next weekend, still wishing for more hours of sleep... But for now, i'm off to work.

lazy day at work
hay naku... nakakatamad... it's raining outside... it's the perfect time to just stay at home, watch tv, and just waste the day lying on my bed... kaya lang, eto, kailangan pumasok, kahit walang masyadong ginagawa...
haaaayyyy... and it's just 11:30 in the morning... it's still a long day... :sigh:
