It's cold here too!

Brrrr. The nights have been cold at my place for the past one week. It dropped to 20 deg Celsius a couple of nights ago, that's about 68F. Yeah, yeah, I know, that's nothing to some of you but for a tropical country, and for one who has never experienced winter, spring or autumn, that is very cold. I was shivering and it really warmed my heart when I read this beautiful poem over at mews1945's journal *g*

It's the cloudless skies that brings about such low night temperature but omg, the same clear skies mean that it'll be extra-hot in the daytime with the temperature sometimes soaring up to 40C at mid-day.

So, after the floods we're now bracing ourselves for a long, dry period. We're thinking of stocking up on bottled mineral water and rice and stuff. Luckily we live near the dams and so far we never had any water shortage to speak of even when others less than 20 kms away were having their supply rationed.

I watched 'Ugly Betty' the pilot episode last night. It was hilarious! We had the original South American version shown here before but I rarely watched it then because it was shown during the daytime. And when I did manage to watch it I hardly laughed because, well, it was hard to laugh from the subtitles when you don't understand a word of Spanish or whatever. Though I must say the subtitled ones are much better than the dubbed ones. The voice-overs are pretty atrocious I tell you.

Anyway, I only got to watch the second half of 'Ugly Betty' because 'Supernatural' was shown at another channel. Sammy ( and Dean ) won last night :)

What about you? Would you rather drool over the brothers and their angsts or laughed at the antics of the adorable Betty?

Speaking of angst, lbilover wrote this amazing Faculty fic entitled ,Winding Road. It has angst, it has love, it has romance and it has hawt sex! It was post-invasion and Casey was now in California studying at Stanford while Zeke was still in Herrington. Casey was definitely in love with Zeke, he missed Zeke like crazy but the thing is he didn't know what exactly Zeke felt for him.

Rain in California and sun in Herrington. Zeke would say… Casey’s mind shied away from finishing the thought. Zeke would have nothing to say. When would he ever accept that fact? Zeke had never had anything to say, had he, the only word that had ever crossed his lips was Casey…

*dies*

On a more somber note.

Fire. And Water.

My heart goes out to i_o_r_h_a_e_l and the people of Jakarta, and to arhiaz and the people occupying the same appartment as hers. Both of you are in my thoughts.

*tight hugs to both of you*

We've never done that before, stocking up on things and it feels strange to be even thinking about doing so but we live in strange times nowadays, all these wierd weather phenomenons. This pic here (http://www.thestar.com.my/) is scaring the hell out of me :/
