Cold Manila

I am loving the weather right now. I can’t remember the weather being this cold. Not that it’s cold cold, but in Manila standards, I guess you could consider it already is. I wish we could have this kind of climate all year round. I think the temperature is around the 20+(C) degrees range and probably lower pa in some areas. They say it’s going to last until February. Yey! I know there probably is a global warming alert sounding off somewhere already. Honestly, it’s a bit weird to be suddenly experiencing this cool weather. All my life, I can’t recall Manila being this cold or was I just too young (or too old?) to remember? Hehe While this is definitely a big plus especially to people like me who have lived most of their lives in tropical (read: hot and humid) weather, I’m just kind of scared to know that something odd is also happening to our planet. I think the global recession came as a blessing in disguise na rin. The economic slowdown will help our environment breathe. We can finally give our environment the much needed break it needs now. As much as I love cozy weather like this, I don’t think I would want to experience a snowy Christmas in Manila next year or any year for that matter. That would be really strange.
