the heat escape..

The day was oh so hot! Though I took a bath, I kept on perspiring. Before I arrived at Camarines SUr National High School to get the observation schedule, my body is all wet with sweat. The handkerchief could not anymore hold the perspiration, maybe I should bring a towel then. The uniform just added to the heat of the day. I wanted to wear it off but I opted not to since it was not appropriate and it took me a lot of hard work to press it (hehehe).

When I arrived at Cam High, my alma mater, students were practicing for the incoming military parade next week. Well, the school boasts of good record on the competition and a perennial winner in every category of the parade. In our batch, my classmate was the Corps Commander, and I, just a spectator. I haven't experienced marching in full CAT uniform. Thank God somehow. Well, it is also good to be back on my former school. It was very nostalgic indeed. The buildings, teachers, the century-old facade only reminded me of four years in high school. It is so ironic because in high school I used to hate some of my teachers but here I am now a graduating education student, soon to be like them.

Back to the heat topic, I went home to have some relaxation and sleep as well. It was a refuge from the scorching heat of the sun outside. I happened to watch the ever controversial Wowowee which recently got a lot flaks for the alleged scam in its new game show, Wilyonaryo and ignite a Senate hearing. Actually, I watched the episode of the Wilyonaryo scam but just ignore the part where the alleged cheating occurred. That's why I was so surprised that it was in the headlines and the talk of the town recently. In today's episode, Willie Revillame explained the incident. It was also surprising that it still has a lot of supporters just like its host after all the issues. Well, I like Wowowee but there at some elements in the show that I am not in favor like the over-exposure of flesh of its dancers and exploitation of the masses' unfortunate condition. I wonder how will a foreigner perceive the Philippines if one sees the program abroad, to think that ABS-CBN is seen via the TFC.

I slept for about an hour with the electric fan in the maximum and a background music from the radio. What an escape to the day's heat. However, I still can't hide from the heat the moment I leave the house. I rushed to go the mall to feel some coldness. I decided to go back to the dorm but I ended up in another mall treating myself with ice cream and some fun at the arcade. Then, I went back to the dorm to take a nap and ready myself for my only class this day at 7:30pm and thank God, it was on the Instructional Media Center.

Hoping that tomorrow will not be hot as this day. Maybe I should offer eggs to the gods so that rain will come.
