It seems that since our plane landed in NAIA we were constantly reminded that we are not in Ireland anymore. Since we arrived the temperature keeps on rising to record high in the country. As the country is constantly baked by the sun we find it difficult to adjust to the heat. Thank God for aircon. The heat usually peaks by noon so we usually confine our self in our room or go out to the malls to keep ourselves cool. As the temperature continues to soar there is not much we can do but to adjust. After two weeks here in the Philippines it seems that I finally came to terms with the heat.At the moment I can say that it is manageable or bearable.
I just wish that I could say the same for my three year old son. Since we came he wont stop complaining about the heat. He even somehow learned how to tell time because every time the heat becomes unbearable around 12 to 3 pm, he seems to know when it is time to turn on the aircon.
The heat has it advantages. My son seems to forget about it every time he soaks in the pool. It is his first time in an outdoor pool before and he seemed to enjoyed himself on our last swim. Wait till he sees the beach. I am guessing he would want to go back to Ireland.
