tenterhooks
the reason why i'm blabbing again is because i'm stressing over how the manuscript I submitted last tuesday faired. i'll find out for sure tomorrow *crosses fingers*
disclaimer: i am not a cat person
The reason why I wasn't paying full attention to Sukob (see previous post) is because of this...
I saw him (or her) for the first time the other day while I was out taking B for a walk. It had just rained and he was soaking wet and meowing like crazy by the dumpster. Pathetic little creature. I felt sorry for him but that was as far as it goes.
And then yesterday, I saw him again. This time, I noticed that just a few feet away from him was a dead kitten. They obviously came from the same litter because they were of the same age and their colors were the same. Beside the dead kitty was a sack. I guess you can pretty much imagine what's inside that sack. But yet again, I turned a blind eye and resisted the urge to take him home. Heartless me.
Finally, this morning I saw him once more. No, not by the dumpster 400 meters (give or take) away but just two houses from ours this time. It took a while for my humanity to kick in but bottom line is, it did. And so here I am hand rearing this irritatingly noisy little kitty. My plan is to help him out until he can fend for his own. Give him a fighting chance so to speak.
Truth, his determination to live astounds me. Think about it, a helpless little kitty with eyes not quite open yet; going three days (possibly more) without food or water and being exposed to the elements to boot. Amazing, really.

is it over yet?
The heat is finally easing up. TG! Is it just me or the heat is worse this year compared to last? Either way, it's a moot point since the rainy season's here already. Yipee! I'm crossing my fingers this isn't another false start like the one we had the other week. It rained on my birthday and the day after that and then nothing. In comes the heat again and mind you it came back with a vengeance! Last week was the worst, wasn't it? I'm just so glad we're done with summer... or are we really?
Speaking of birthdays, Marie called the other day to greet my belated happy birthday. We ended up chatting about this and that for about an hour. I learned that they have malunggay over there. I asked her how it's called in English but she forgot. She'll text me, she says but up till now I'm still waiting for her answer. You know how it is when you're trying to recall something and it's at the tip of your tongue but try as you might you cant remember? Well that's how it feels like for me with this malunggay thing.
Mostly we talked about her upcoming wedding...preparations that is. I told her I already have an idea of what I wanna wear. My only concern is that I've to go braless with this dress. Instead I'll be wearing those gel cup thingies that stick on your boobies. I'm fine with that. What worries me is gravity. My girls cant be called big but they're big enough to droop without adequate support. But the gown's really pretty and it's what I want to wear. Well let's see how it goes.
Still on weddings, I watched Sukob for the first time this afternoon. It wasn't as scary (read: good) as I expected. Maybe it's because I was watching it on the small screen. I don't know. I guess. To give credit, there were a couple scenes here and there that had me closing my eyes or looking away. Also, I've to admit that I wasn't giving the film my full attention.

words like sweltering and steamy come to mind
oh man, it's just barely past six am and the sun's barely up but the heat is already UNBEARABLE! the humidity makes me feel like im in a sauna. i feel like i'm melting. i feel like i wont be able to last the week much more the remaining months of summer if this keeps up!! waaah!! sadly, it will--i mean, keep up. i went to check pagasa's site and their temperature forecast for the week holds steady at 25C to 36C. the relative humidity is at its highest at 90%!! And there's little hope for rain too. Ah rain... i hope it'd rain soon. like really. it's so effing hot!!
