Transmission #12: Hot Summer

Rate this Entry
Alright, since my last blog post is nothing more but filler, I figured out that I must ask the 7th on what to blog next. I don't know. This whinebox has been nothing more but something that will generally compensate for my lack of TM fanfiction and you know, it has become an obligation. And I finally got a good subject for this entry, thanks to Ruu-tan.

The weather.

I know some of you might say "That's so immature. You can't change the weather, so why whine about it?" Very simple. Because it's not bad to whine about it and it doesn't mean that you haven't accepted that things are just the way they are but rather, it only means you want to blow off some steam from your system. There's nothing bad about bitching if your purpose is to prolong your patience and endurance, since you can't shorten or stop your suffering. It's natural for you to suffer, so why isn't it natural for you to whine?

Again, the weather in this country. Back when I was a kid, if there was nothing to do aside form playing video games, I would just walk around our neighbohood and barangay (How the fuck do you translate this?) alone. I was the loner type of kid, so I would do that instead of playing hopscotch or hide-and-seek with the other kids. And that habit didn't actually die out until today. Seriously. But the point here is, back in my younger days, I could walk around and not complain about the heat of the sun. Hell, I walked around so much, many people know me already by name and my parents during that time think I'm going nuts and bananas. Now, I will walk underneath the heat of the sun and I will start thinking "It wasn't this fucking hot back in the 90s, yo." So that's why I don't do it anymore during the day. I mean, everyone here is already being affected with the heat. My family, my waifu, my relatives, my neighbors, my dog, our plants, our electric bill, our temperament, our sanity, our motivation, our health, practically everyone and everything.

Now, the questions are, what the hell is happening in this planet? What, is this one of those coming from the bowls of God's rage, according to the book of John's Revelation, where the sun gets so fucking hot, everyone all started blaspheming the name of God? I mean, just a few more notches and everyone will do it already, even in this mostly Catholic country. And some people are already doing it, like saying "Oh my God" or "Goddamn it". Really. If it is so, where the hell is Wormwood?

The other question is, why are some people still thinking that Global Warming does not exist? I mean, I was a younger kid during that time, I was fat and still, I didn't feel the weather during that day. Now, I'm an older kid, thinner that I ever imagined I would be and more lightweight than my dog, yet I could feel the weather creeping up inside this house. Damn it if you go out, damn it if you don't. And last year, the parts of Manila that do not flood have drowned in water. Meanwhile, Aral Sea and many other lakes are shrinking, because of the large output going to irrigation and very little input. Also, Russians were, in what I remember, experiencing drought last year and celebrated in Twitter when rain finally came. I don't have all the evidences, but scientists do, and it is somewhat alarming.

Okay, again, I'm aware that it is an established fact that you can't change the weather directly and stating the obvious wouldn't change anything, too. But see, I put my bare foot once in the pavement under the sun and I think it could already fry an egg. Slowly, but it will still fry it. I hope it doesn't come to a situation where I could boil water instantly by putting it on top of the pavement. And if it will come to that point, I hope no one's alive anymore.

But hey, before that will happen, everyone will die of dehydration. I guess I don't have to worry about that.

    It isn't even summer yet, it's barely a month into spring. It's also a La Nina year, and I think that means warmer temperatures for you guys.

    That said, you could always move where it's cooler.

    We don't have spring here, only summer and rain. And when it rains, we're fucked.

    But the thing is, we don't have money to move! ;_;
