   Yeah. Lagi pa naman akong walang T-shirt pag matulog kasi masarap matulog ng malamig. Although I also have a fever…I hate it, buti na lang tapos na work ko.

   Brrrr…

   Gerry,

   Maaga nga ang dating ng tag-lamig. Normally, mga mid January to late February ito, pero ngayon late November, dumating na. Parang mi air-condition sa gabi.

   HEHEHEHEH…did it go down to 78degrees there? Brrrr…

   I remember getting into a cab with Bella and her Cousin. The aircon was barely on, yet they were freezing!

   Hey John,

   How’s Daytona Beach ? are you experiencing cold spells there already ? what’s up for the holidays ?

8. John Beatty on December 2nd, 2007 9:03 pm

   Auggie-

   We are having a little cold spell right now…around 59degress at night but by noon it’s back into the low 70′s! Feels nice!

   Holidays are coming soon…no big plans, as Bella is getting ready to complete her Immigration during this time and we are getting excited about her being able to come over to the USA! When she is here then it will be the Holidays for us!

   Thx-
   -JBeatty

   You guys STOP COMPLAINING NOW! It’s snowing here in the northwest, for crying out loud! Stop rubbing it on, okay?

   It’s minus 5 right now, so you guys better start dancing outside the streets there in RP and Florida!

   Pampered CRY BABIES!

   What else can I do but head out to the skii slopes! If you can’t beat the snow, join it!

   And I’m joining it!

    Aw JM… you ought to know better than comparing griefs, you know what I’m saying? It’s like saying we shouldn’t feel cold just because you’re freezing. Well, the eskimos can say the same thing about you. And the Plutonians can say the same for the Eskimos. Kanya kanyang sitwasyon lang naman yan e. Kanya kanyang problema. If we started comparing our griefs, none of us should be complaining because somebody, somewhere has always got it worse than us.

    E nilalamig ako e. Bakit ba?

    Sorry… I seemed to have woken up on the serious side of the bed.

    Gerry:

    Actually, the lowest temperature measured in the north is in Calgary. Canada is much colder than Alaska, so they are dancing there right now but we’re freezing here:)

    The trouble here is that up the northwest territory, the glaciers are blowing the damned freezing wind. I was in Calgaray one winter and the temperature went down -30!

    With this kind of weather, so just can’t go out without thick gloves. Say, if you go grocery shopping with your bare hands, DIDIKIT ang kamay mo sa shopping cart at siguradong dadalhin ka sa emergency room para tanggalin ang kamay mo. He-he.

    It can get that bad. And I am telling you this story to throw some positive vibes into your side of the basketball court. Mapapalad kayo diyan. Kayo ang mga paborito ng Diyos at hindi Niya kayo pinababayaan.

    Amen.

    Here in the midwest area, wearing jogging pants under denim jeans, plus t-shirt and sweater with winter coat on top plus a bonnet and gloves and two pairs of socks on top of one another I’m all set to walk in some abandoned streets. It’s not even snowing yet, not the one that can form into mounds anyway. It is totally dark by about 4:30 pm and you wont see any sunlight until about 8:00 am. Snows will be coming and it will be winter wonderland, picture perfect, if you are watching at it from the safety and warmth of your home. But it is as LONELY as it is COLD. You’d prefer the cold breeze of autumn to the pricky tropical heat yet in every autumn winter follows. The trees are bare, no signs nor sounds of life everywhere except for some dashing squirrels. Many dreams of having a “white Christmas”. But this I say: at least during Christmas time “whiteness” wont beat places like the Philippines where Christmas is celebrated and felt in many colors.

    Gerry:

    I should correct my facts. The lowest temperature ever recorded in North America is in Canada, but not in Calgary. It was in the YUKON TERRITORY -81°F in 1947. Kilig to the bones ito. Kailangan lang accurate ang facts at baka mag-raise ng hell si RobbyV. He-he.

14. auggie on December 5th, 2007 12:44 am

    JM,

    Noong Lunes, December 3, It was 19 Celsius in Metromanila and elsewhere, For the record…. ang average normal body temperature natin is 37 Celsius, di ba ?

15. Rod Samonte on December 5th, 2007 10:36 am

    Umuwi na tayo ng Pinas. Sarap ng 72 to 84 degrees F temperatures. I’m in Los Angeles, I still can’t get used to the cold at night even though it’s mildly cold, compared to the midwest & Canada.

    Rod,

    Bakit hindi nag co-conform ang US sa international standard of measures Farenheit, Miles, Acres, Pounds etc, samantalang Celsius, Kilometers, Hectares, Kilos etc na ang ginagamit ng mundo ?

    Ito ang Pakwela: In Marikina, THEY SELL SHOES !

17. Rod Samonte on December 6th, 2007 2:33 am

    Auggie,
    Oo nga, in fact I can’t understand Celcius (Sell Shoes? Hahaha) when my friends in Australia give me the temps there. You must mean why isn’t the rest of the world conforming with the U.S.?

    astig ang america may sariling rules. kaya pati football nila e kakaiba. kasi hirap silang ma-dominate ang soccer.

    actually kung minsan di hamak na mas malamig pa pag walang snow. kasi dala ng hangin ang lamig. kaya pag may snow naa-absorb na nito ang lamig. snow is 95% air and 5% water kaya hindi ka nababasa kahit maglublob dito. meron ding “snow rain” na 50% water and 50% ice kaya mababasa ka na’y malamig pa. Ito ang pinakamatindi sa lahat, marble to golf ball-sized HALE na bumabagsak. SOLID ICE ito na gaya ng bato. pag bumagsak nagkaka-dent ang mga sasakyan (kaya kailangang takpan o igarahe) at bukol ang aabutin pag inabot ka sa bumbunan lalo’t talagang malaki. ang pinakamabilis na takbong nagawa ko sa distansiyang 500 meters ay nang biglang umulan ng HALE, nasa labas ako at walang masilungan.

    Fermin:
    The wind factor can indeed contribute to the coldness of the weather.

    Auggie:
    Kakalito nga talaga. Pag naglagay ka ng gas sa Canada, LITER ang ginagamit. Pag cross mo ng border sa US, GALLON naman.
    Magdrive ka sa Canada, we use KILOMETERS. Sa US naman, MILES. Kaya nga sa North Amrica ang ang kotse ay dalawa ang nakalagay sa odometer, both Miles and Kilometers. Medyo nakakaturete nga. At least other than this, pareho na ang lahat tulad ng pagbili mo sa groceries ay LB. Though hanggang ngayon, may mga bagay na mas madali para sa utak ko ang gamit, like Foot and inch, kaysa metric. Gulo talaga ng mundo :)

20. Robby Villabona on December 7th, 2007 3:12 pm

    Sa IBM dati, ang standard measurement namin ng temperature ay inches. As in, pag mga 1-inch, ibig sabihin sobrang lamig. Pag mga 2.5-3 ay normal. :-P
