Since last week the stupid temperature's been yoyoing between 33 and 37 degrees here. I know I live in the tropics but damn, it's making me sick!

Clothing has become my greatest enemy and ice has become my favourite food. I don't even want
to leave my house with the comfort of my fans for the stupid heated outdoors.

It's still, it's hot and it's very dry. Today it rained and cooled the place down to 33.5 which felt really good after the temperature yesterday being around 35 degrees and very, very, dry. This must be what it feel like to live in a desert.

The best thing about it, is that I have an excuse to take 3 or 4 showers everyday. I know that's not environmentally friendly, but hey...I do less harm than a lot of people.

I miss the beautiful heavy rainfall, the type of rain that falls hard for hours and makes my whole country slow down for a while. I miss the kind of rain that makes some people feel cold. I dispise this pitiful excuse for rainfall that lasts for five minutes and dries off the ground in five minutes once the sun comes back out.

I suppose it's probably better without the heavy rain, I mean...this country floods in no time at all.

Found this webpage on the effects a 2 or 3 degree rise will have on the world. They forgot to say that weaklings such as myself who once passed out on her school field becuase of the heat will drop dead! Well...at least that's how I've been feeling for the past few weeks anyway.

I'd love to take a vacation to...Iceland. The sound of the name alone is music to my hot ears...ICEland. I won't do that though...don't have any family there, I'd be all alone. Cooler...but all alone in a country I know nothing about.

I suppose I will just stay here and cook in my own sweat.
