In search of something to write.

It is hot. The scorching heat had dried up my greens. The fact that there is scarcity for water does not help.
The weather, though, is not my topic. As they say, when you've got nothing important to say, just talk about the weather.
I am in search of something to write. I have the block, I think, that came as a result of the punishing traffic at the metro's main avenue - the EDSA - which kept me at a turtle's pace of 5 to 15 kph, and that is before the rush hours.
To appease my lamentable state of being, I did indulge my self with fast food for breakfast and lunch, even merienda these past few days. I would drive thru a food chain, or sit by a coffee shop, and wait the long wait for any of my two daughters. Their endless engagements had demanded my chauffeuring deluxe, but I was up for a change of view anyway. For I was in search of something to write.
No success yet.
Status ditto.
Must be the heat.

The malls and the coffee shops are in full air-condition blasts. Electricity shortage is looming.
This heat,,,,
Oh well, no matter, the shower three times a day sort of refreshes me anyway,

@Beatburn Thank you. I will show your response to my girls when they are home.
Hu hu. I don't have GPS and I have not memorized Mabuhay Lane. C5 is not an option. The trailer trucks are so huge.

@eileenleyva You are better than Grab, mom.
We all have something to share. Your post reminded me why I dislike EDSA so much. Good thing I don't take that route to work.

@eileenleyva I hope you're able to think about something to write soon. I'm sorry the weather has been hot. I really hate hot weather!

There were actually interesting people - a waiter, a cleaning crew, and a security guard who were thoughtful and helpful and assisted me in my sorry state, I was almost parched by the heat and they asked me how I was, or do I need water, and held the door for me, Ordinary people are so kind,
Couldn't underestimate the heat, people are suffering from heatstroke.

A tremendous global warming, huh. I think I am developing a heat-induced asthma. Sigh.
Keep in cool places. Drink lots of water. Postpone outdoor activities till the heat subsides a bit. Keep safe.

@Aansh13 Friends are company. If the friend needs you, by all means. Just don't over expose your selves under the searing sun.
