Cooler Weather for January 2013

We are getting cooler weather in Manila, Philippines this month of January. The lowest temperature we had was 18 Degrees Celsius. On my day off from work, I would open the door to the terrace of my apartment and enjoy the cool breeze at night. The river close by is adding cooler temperature. I hope this kind of temperature would last long. But our weatherman says it could only last until around the month of March.

Our Health Department however had warned for possible ailments due to cold weather. Some of them could be common colds, flu, arthritic triggers and other sickness to be brought about by cooler temperature. My thanks to health authorities for the reminders, health conscious guys and gals should better watch out. I would say, no matter what kind of weather we have, we have to look after our health. After all, as the saying goes health is wealth.

New Years Resolution

Every beginning of the year it looks like a fad for everyone to create a list about the things they plan to do for the whole year. That is good.  But I hope those who promised themselves of improvements and changes they would do for 2013 considered the pros and cons of whatever they have on the list.

For those who boldly promised themselves to quit smoking. Have they considered gradually or totally quit from the habit of smoking? Smoking is addictive.  Consider that as one of the predicament you may encounter. If the quit smoking thing, is among your list, quit going to smoking area during your break time when at work. You may also consider shying away from smoker friends. To the ladies who promised savings as their priorities, avoid shopping malls. You may be enticed to fit a pair of pants on reduced price sale.  And ... boom! There goes with the New Years Resolution.
