I re-tweeted earlier:
We can expect 24 to 36 degrees Celsius today, and residents may want to keep out of exposure to the sun between 2 and 3 p.m. -PAGASA
The heat is unbearable. We registered a scorching 36 degrees at 3pm today, if what I read was right. The bed, the furniture, almost everything one touches feel hot especially during early afternoons.
There it goes again, the heat wave. I’m afraid of these scheduled power interruptions because power supplies can’t support the load. Should we consider getting honda generators soon?
On second thought, I’d rather experience heat than have strong rains that contribute to flooding and destruction.
The kids are with my mom for one more week of summer vacation. I miss them so but life goes on and as much as I want to join them, I still have responsibilities with my teaching work.
Hubby and I will have these remaining days as opportunities to have our morning or late-night run together. We are scheduled to have a run later after we watch Senakulo at a nearby church.
It would be nice for us to have a relaxing day together to watch the HD screening of THE PROPOSAL at Blue Water Day Spa since we won’t have to worry about the kids being left out. That would be a great post-birthday treat for him too since he is celebrating his birthday today which is a Good Friday.
Thank you, LittleRunningTeacher.com, WhenInManila.com, BlueWaterDaySpa.com and the Little Running Teacher fanpage if we get chosen to win a pair of tickets to this exciting and relaxing event.
Woot!

Philippine Spring Cleaning Day? Why not?
If we need allergies and dengue fever to clean up, then we have to change the way we clean our surroundings by developing good cleaning habits. How?
- Set a schedule for cleaning AND disinfecting to kill those disease-causing organisms.
- Put together cleaning supplies in one place for easier access. Seeing these together will inspire you to clean up.
- Pick up those clothes on the floor and put them in laundry bins.
- Cleaning also involves discarding those junk things that you are holding on to. “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure” so they say. Why not try to clean out your closets and give clothes that have not been worn for over three years? What about those books gathering dust? I’m sure someone else will be happy to get those things from you. I do this every so often much to the chagrin of my better half 😀
- Try to have indoor plants in your home for a touch of green. Tried it but plants died so I just have a small garden outdoors.
- Clean as you go, dust if you must!
- Fix your bed and change the sheets often to avoid disease-causing bacteria. When the sun is hot, try to “air” the pillows as a way to kill those germs.
- Sort your trash. We do sorting in this household, putting together those that can be recycled like plastic bottles, plastic wraps, boxes, cans, and foils and giving them to my cleaning lady (who incidentally just finished cleaning the yard a while ago). Our left-over food (if there are any) and peelings go together..
- Get those cleaning agents and disinfectants from the supermarket shelves straight to the barcode scanner cashiers and don’t hesitate to get them. You’ll be needing these for cleaning up. You paid for these therefore you won’t have second thoughts not using them, right?
- Try using vinegar for cleaning up. Yes, it actually works and it’s cheaper too.
Reward yourself a treat after your cleaning tasks. On the other hand, having a clean and disinfected house is a reward in itself, don’t you think?

Someone asked me once why I am always online. Do I have active stocks online that I watch? Do I wait for a sign for me to buy gold online? Am I looking out for airline seat sales?
To all these I say, no, no and no.
I’m not always online, duh, I have to go to work and I purposely didn’t get a mobile plan to prevent getting online on the road or outside the house.
I’m mostly online when I’m just staying home. I have this urge to know what is happening around through Twitter (follow me!) or through the different online news site. These give me ideas on what to write in my blogs when the writing muse refuses to show itself.
For now, I think it’s time I relax. After all, it’s Maundy Thursday and I’m supposed to be all quiet and reflective about life.
Inviting moms and dads and their kids, 2011 Expo Mom is happening on May 7, 2011 at the Rockwell Tent. Check Expo Mom site for more details.
