overcast with showers. that's what it looks like today. all gloomy and rainy. my fav weather for sleeping in. it's been raining since midnight last night. sometimes it feels like the hurricane is about to come, with the winds howling and the rain beating down on the shutters. i hope we never have to endure a hurricane here, although a small part of me is a little curious. maybe just a short and sweet hurricane, not a full-blown one thanks.

its been raining the ENTIRE day! and it doesn't seem to be letting up. dark, stormy clouds, gale-like winds, yeps, its gonna be a cold and wet day today. couldn't pick up lunch from miles market today. dun think i will brave a trip to miles later to pick up dinner. maybe i'll just order in room service later. hopefully we'll have better weather by tomorrow. can't go out at all. i can now see that frozen and canned food serve a purpose.

When ppl from home ask me about the temperature and i reply saying "oh its 15-20 deg ".

You should come experience them for yourselves, these nonbreezehairflyingwildlylikemadwoman winds. Remember we are in the centre of the bloody Atlantic. Remember the Bermuda triangle? Other than the reefs, the winds must have caused a lot of trouble for the ships of ancient times. So let me get this clear. It's NOT comfortable being whipped around by the wind. And it feels even worse when you are cold and wet due to the rain and the wind kills your umbrella by flipping it over and crushing ...
