Random Thoughts

I got a forwarded message through text and it made me feel panic because it seems so real. Here is the exact message (I'm sure if you also got this message from your friends too!)...

"Dear all, due to the Equinox phenomenon that will affect us in the next 5 days. Pls stay indoors especially from 12pm-3pm daily. The temperature will fluctuate till 40 degrees Celsius. This can easily cause dehydration and sun stroke. (Ps: this phenomena is due to the sun directly positioned above the equator line) Please keep everyone inclusive of yourself hydrated. Everyone should be consuming about 3 litres of fluid everyday. Monitor everyone's blood pressure as frequent as possible. Many may get heat stroke.Cold showers as frequent as possible. Reduce meat increase, fruits & vegetables. Heat wave is no joke! Place a new unused candle outside home area or exposed area. If candle can melt, its in dangerous level.Always place a pail or 2 water half filled in living room & each in every room to keep moist temperature down.Heat stroke has no indicative symptoms. Once fainted, its seriously dangerous as organ failure kicks in.Always check, lips, eye balls, moisture."

I know, it is scary. When you live in a tropical county you would actually get used to the heat. You experience the worst during summer but it gets better eventurally. Sometimes, you would even ignore warnings such as the text message that I received this morning. But, you know what, we should NOT. I believe that the weather has changed immensely (hello, global warming!) and our bodies adjusted to the weather should be prioritized. We should do something about it. Prepare ourselves well, especially our kids so they won't experience the worst cases of heat strokes or other illnesses caused by heat. It is best to hydrate (as mentioned above), eat plenty of fruits and veggies, make sure that you drink plenty of liquids. I would add here to avoid sugar too, coffee and carbs. So in short, try as much as possible to be healthy to avoid the illnesses caused by this hot weather.

You prepare your body for this inevitable super hot summer in the tropics but have you considered preparing your homes too? Yes. You read that right. In times like this, you don't only prepare for the storm, but you also prepare for the hottest summer ever. How? Here are my suggestions:

1. General Cleaning. Through the years, dusts usually accumulate and this is the perfect time to start removing those dusts. This will also prevent allergies and asthma attacks. You might want to clean up your sofas, bed and cushions.

2. De-clutter. Got those excess stuff? Get rid of it. This will give more room to move around. More space entails more room to breathe.

3. Wash your curtains or blinds.

4. Install plants around the house for good air and oxygen.

5. Repair the broken appliances especially the air-conditioner. Of course you want to maximize the use of your very expensive air conditioner, yes? Find something like the air conditioning Phoenix that repairs broken units or just cleans and takes away the dust. I'm sure there are counterparts here in Manila that can do that.

If your air conditioning system is blowing warm air or if it has started to make an unusual noise, this is the best way to schedule air conditioning repair service. Not only will it benefit your family but it will also lower down your electricity costs too. If you are in Phoneix, you are in luck because Morehart Air and Heating offers 24/7 for AC service.
