Summer is here!

I can feel the heat. Yeah, summer has arrived indeed.

The cool and breezy mornings that we've been waking up to in the past couple of weeks have become warm and foggy. The foggy mornings are gone and now the weather is hot and sticky. Ugh. Ok lang sana if it's warm and windy. But no, it's hot, sticky and sweaty.

I don't like this kind of weather because now it takes longer for my laundry to dry. So now I'm seriously considering using the dryer at the laundry place downstairs, but for Thb100 per load? Maybe I should try it first.

How are things there back home? Mainit na rin ba?

Winter in Bangkok

When I unpacked my luggage from our holiday trip, I stashed all my jackets and sweatshirts at the back of my closet thinking that I won't be needing them anymore. But just as I was making room for summer clothes and having visions of beach trips, hot afternoons and ice-cold drinks, I realize that it's still winter in Bangkok.

One morning, as I was about to hang our laundry, I was greeted by a cold blast of air when I opened the door to our balcony. When you put your hand out the door, it's like sticking your hand inside the freezer. It's just like being in Tagaytay but without the humidity.

Now I need to put out my jackets, shawls and sweatshirts once again because I need to wear them even on a sunny day. I'm even thinking of buying a pair of tights. Hehe!

Sigh...I was so looking forward pa naman to basking in warm Bangkok weather after spending weeks in freezing cold Tagaytay.

Weird Weather in BKK

Bangkok has been experiencing some weird weather lately. Mornings are usually bright, sunny and perfect for doing laundry but by lunchtime, the sky suddenly turns dark and gloomy. There are times when the sun will shine the whole day, then it will rain the entire night.

Yesterday afternoon, this is what we saw...

A huge mass of heavy rain clouds looming over our apartment building. It's like watching Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers.

Here you can see the edge of the rain cloud.

It was an awesome sight. Reminds me of the scene at War of the Worlds, the part with the weird storm and the big ass lightnings that brought the aliens to earth.

I think I'm watching too much tv. Perhaps I should just stick to the soap operas and sitcoms so I won't freak out much.
