"Ely!
Wala lang, ndi makatulog eh...ang init!"
That's a text message that I received from an officemate today. It came right after I was denied of my REM sleep; this time not because of a nightmare or my Hyena-yelping neighbors, but also because of the heat! Worse, I realize that there's a power outage. No means of ventilation-add that to the agony I had to endure.
I hurried to the nearest mall. Thanks to Henry Sy for his air conditioned structures. I understand now that they're the most inexpensive solution to every Pinoy's struggle to beat the heat. I stayed there for over an hour until a neighbor texted me the good news.
"May ilaw na."
This reminds me of a friend who dreads brownouts. He stayed in the US for years that when he decided to finally come home, he chose to live in Baguio. He couldn't bear the hot weather here in Manila anymore. He use to whine about the power outages, which during the rainy season, would occur almost every week. He would tell me that brownouts never happen in the US, a.k.a "Walang ganyan sa states!" Something I considered an overstatement until the NY brownout that made headlines in 2004.
Anyway, I am here back in my room. Trying to keep my cool despite having been deprived of my sleep, and waiting for American Idol to start.

this is good week for anoop. and matt is in trouble i think. i wish allison would take the boot tomorrow..ahehe! :P
The Scud, tatagal pa daw ang tag-init. hehe. May replay sa Qtv sa Sat/Sun, 5pm ata. Sa Starworld, 6pm.
lucas, my prediction: Matt, Anoop (or Chris) and Lil ROunds in the bottom 3. Matt will go home (finally). I've been rooting for Lil since day 1, but she just couldn't deliver, sayang. Si Allison mukhang tatagal pa. Sya na lang pambato ng mga girls. I hope to see Danny and Adam in the finals.
I didn't like Rounds since Day 1. Hehe. I'm rooting for Gokey and Allen although I think Lambert will win. I'm not as addicted to Idol compared from previous seasons. :-D
