I have been spending my time working in the house. Whenever I left the house, I was soaked with sweat within seconds.

For the first time in almost a year, I got the sun cream out and slapped some on.

At times, it was so hot, I had to quit working and go to the bedroom where I could angle the Air Conditioning unit to spray cold air at me.

This morning I took a shower and my head and face were tingling and itchy. I didn’t think much of it.

We headed out for a meeting with ABS CBN. As we walked through the corridors, Gerald Anderson was having photos taken and was about to do an interview. He greeted us, shaking my hand. “Great to see you again” I told him as headed down the corridor to our meeting. “You look red” Gerald shouted. “We must have caught the sun” we replied.

After the meeting, we were on our way out of the building, but Gerald was having an interview in the doorway. We were ushered out of the side of the doorway so that we did not interrupt the interview. Gerald stopped what he was doing (taking part in the interview), kissed Ian goodbye and shook my hand. “Take care bro” Gerald said. “Thanks a lot, you too” I replied.

Traffic had been bad all day. We got a cab to Robinsons mall so that we could get a plane ticket from Cebu Pacific for our trip to Cebu tomorrow (another story entirely).

On the way home, I wiped my chest with a towel and it stung. My chest had red blotches as if it were sunburned. However, I had not taken my shirt off over the past few days. I had no idea what it was.

It was only when I got home and Ian mentioned how red I looked, all over my face and back that it suddenly dawned on me. I have heatstroke. God damnit!

As I write this, it has started raining. The first time since the beginning of March!

Finally, the curtains are ballooning with the cool air flooding in through the open windows. In the distance, thunder rumbles like a huge machine heading our way pent on total destruction.

This brings with it two problems. Firstly, the rain could get into the cables and cab box (which it always seems to do) and my phone and/or internet would go dead. Secondly, the lightening could strike a power line, resulting in a blackout meaning no PC and even worse, no Air Conditioning!

I will hastily finish this post so that it can go live before anything happens and also because I need to run into my yard to unplug the washing machine extension cable so that it does not short out in the rain.

Take care everyone, will post more about Cebu as soon as I can, so make sure you check back.

I wanted to post this because it is a prime example.

At the time, I was working online and looked outside at the heavy rain. I thought of the UK and just wanted to be in bed with the duvet over me. I made the following status on facebook.

I continued working. Ian did not see my facebook status, but just two minutes later she also looked outside at the heavy rain and made the following Tweet on Twitter.

This is exactly why I am so happy with Ian. We both think the same thing and sure enough, shortly after these updates, we were in bed under the duvet.

God damn it you bitch, why do you have to make me fall in love with you so much? Hell, do not change a thing. I am falling all the time for you and I love it.

I went out for a walk today and took my camera along. I managed to get a few pics of the countryside, river Tyne and the gloomy, angry looking sky.
