Although it will not hit the huge landmass of the Philippines (just some islands in the northern Luzon e.g. Babuyan Islands), super typhoon Mawar will still wreak havoc in the country by sucking the southwest monsoon, thus, bringing heavy rains from the west into the northeast. This is why the humidity today is a killer. No rains but the entire day was overcast.

The rains might start tomorrow.

Here we are, having super typhoons early in the season and I haven’t gone diving. Or haven’t done anything that I planned on doing like camping or hiking. 😭 How can I have time for these when 1) there are so many things to keep in order in my tiny house and 2) I will be abroad again in a few weeks–in quick succession (BKK-SG-SG)?!

Yesterday, I cooked Hainanese Chicken Rice upon the request of Twin I.

But it seems like I cooked too much. I recycled everything today and made a flavorful fried rice bonanza.

Is it easier to cook now? Well yeah, the range hood does a lot of wonders. Cooking is no longer like being in sauna like in the old apartment. I still lack counter space though because I have large kitchen appliances. I must somehow attach them onto the walls or hang them underneath the cabinets.
