Summer summer

It's been so unbearably hot that I'm trying to find new popsicle recipes.  Mojito maybe? :) hahahaha!  Wish that the summer was more this feeling, rather than the overbearing heat that permeates the air. Turning on the electric fan is like putting a blow dryer to your face.  No help.

I shouldn't really complain.  I've just been to the beach in Coron (YAY!! Another resolution / goal done!), Palawan and it was LOVE-ER-LEEE.  I wouldn't mind living there. Beautiful. Thanks to a really generous and really crazy friend, he was my benefactor for the trip. I will forever be thankful for that trip :)  It was absolutely fun and relaxing. Just the 3 days I needed to get away.

I've just realised that I've um, realised a few of my New Year's resolutions.  OK FINE. From two years ago. But hey better late than never!!! And the effort is there! :)  HAHAHAHA!


A lot of new starts this week which I hope move as fast as I'd like them to so I don't start getting bored. I can feel it coming on the tips of my fingers. Been wallowing for a while in doing nothing that my fingers are beginning to prune. 

Found this blog again.  Love the pictures from there :)  Especially because it shows the England I see when I used to live there. And of course there is THIS.  Provides endless wryness :)


Today I shall plunge forth and take the week by the horns. Let's see what that'll bring me!

happy Monday :)

BLISTERING HOT

As the title implies, Manila has turned into a ruddy sauna.  I am sticky and sweaty and not happy about it.  Tempers are short, and the flares are widespread.  El Nino here has begun and I have never been thirstier in my life.  Thank heavens for this link my friend K sent me.  Now I can have my coffee and be (somewhat) happy about the heat.
