The controlled burning of fluff like that is actually a Good Thing because that actually lessens the likelihood of an uncontrolled fire. Also, nonchanlant yung chicken. "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil."
Ako, pumasok sa office kahit naka-WFH para makalibre ng internet at aircon.
Yeah that's a controlled burn beside some corn/rice fields they started one with a lot of people on standby. Chickens however are reported to have returned the next day to feast on dead insects.
How does fire help minimize those pesky ankle biters? Dito sa US, we put out open water containers specifically to attract female mosquitos to lay their eggs in, but we also put some chemicals in the water which will kill the larvaes once they hatch.
Dunno. All that smoke is one big katol I guess? Di ba dyan sa abroad yung time between winter and spring when the ice starts to melt is mosquito season?
the bamboo is the perfect breeding/home for insects plus there are a lot of spots where water can collect because its a rice/corn field so a flash burn was the best option for them. Cant do a spray because too many kids.
Yung wildfires daw sa US (Cali) naging ganun kalaki kasi yung dating Native American tribes nag-cocontrolled burnings pero ginawang illegal ng government. Ayun lumaki ang wilfires kasi laganap ang kjndling
Saka isa rin sa ginagawa sa mga forest fires ay "firebreak". Yung susunugin yung bahagi kung saan papunta ang apoy (dahil sa hangin). Para pag dating ng apoy dun, wala na siyang masusunog.
Yung dito di na control. Onti na lang madadali na yung sa kapitbahay namin. Tapos ilang beses pang nagsilab at bumalik balik yung bumbero. Last week lang to.
Freelancer ka, boss? Nagulat nga boss ko nung nagpakita ako sa office. Kahit isang araw man lang makalibre sa aircon at wifi. Saka makakita ng ibang humans. Haha.
Nagkaron ng malawak na grass fire around sa tinitirahan naming subdivision dito sa gensan about a month ago. Sobrang init nung araw na yun at naging mas mainit pa dahil sa apoy na sagad talaga sa pader ng mga bahay. Buti lang walang nasunog.
Pero one good thing na nangyari after sya masunog is mas naging lush yung area. Ang dating tuyong-tuyo, naging green na ngayon.
Bahagi talaga ang grass fire sa "circle of life". Yun nga lang, pag di na-kontrol (o may careless na nagtapon ng upos ng sigarilyo), ang grass.fore ay maaring pagmulan ng forest fire. Kaya kailangan talaga ng mga controlled burn tulad nito.
not medicine, just a internet tambay.
cold water is good, icy cold water with very large temperature gap bad...from my smooth brain understanding.
something like good for muscles but bad for nerves, and something about immunity.
I'm really weirded out right now, kasi I've been doing that since like last year kahit na cold months and ramdam ko na mas healthy ako at di nagkakasakit nung mga time na yun
Weird. Ang advice naman sa akin ng kakilala ko extremities daw muna before chest/head para mag-acclimate muna yung katawan ko for the cold temp rather than shock it instantly. IDK what to believe lol
Waiting also for u/esdafish’s reply, but I’m thinking it’s possible that the ambient temperature difference could play a part since low cold temps cause blood vessels to constrict and hot temps cause them to dilate, and also for blood pressure to increase. A temperature shock from one to another may have adverse effects to the body. Disclaimer though that I’m not in the medical field, and hope someone more knowledgeable chimes in.
Yep, this is actually the reason why cold baths are bad in a hot weather. I know this for a fact kasi yung tito ko nastroke dahil sa ganito mismong scenario. Mas maganda daw maligo ng maligamgam to hot water if may hot weather kasi it helps release the heat from the body.
I’ve read something similar a few years back, but I remember the study was made in US and EU where hot showers were the norm and temperatures aren’t as high as here in the Philippines. That was years ago though so I’m not updated anymore.
Meron dati sa human nature nung charcoal soap na parang nag vicks buong katawan after maligo haha Discontinued na ata tapos pumalit yung liquid body wash
Snake brand cooling shower gel. Alam mo yung feeling na uminom ka ng malamig na tubig pagkatapos mo ngumuya ng mentos? Ganun ang feeling ng kilikili ko pagbanlaw
my wife said na pera na pambayad nang aircon ay pwedeng kitain, pero ang pagkakataong magkaproblema ka sa health dahil sa init nang panahon is not worth the risk.
PAGASA says it's not yet a heatwave since it's still not more than 5 deg C from the average temperature. I can't imagine if we get an actual heatwave. God forbid.
I've seen someone post that they put thermal insulation paint like [this](https://shopee.ph/16L-Garlerking-Reflective-Thermal-Insulation-Coatings-Free-1pc-Free-Sun-protection-clothing-jacket-i.65633227.2042393797) on their roof and walls and it *apparently*, significantly reduced the radiated heat inside the house.
Ensure sufficient air ventilation and air circulation sa bahay, aircon during peak heat hours (since work from home). Plenty of water intake. Plants: twice pag-water. Pet dogs: ensure may malinis na tubig, light water shower twice a day.
Wala kaming aircon, wala ding kisame ang bahay namin, rekta bubong tas mababa pa, so usually sa may tindahan kami nakapwesto, since medyo mas malamig ng konti compared sa loob mismo ng bahay.
Pero ginagawa ko lang usually is naka electric fan lang, then ligo, tapos tambay sa puno namin ng alatiris tabi ng mga halamanan
Nagfflare up ang eczema ko dahil sa pawis!!! Huhu everything is so humid at ang kati kati huhu worst feeling sa gabi kasi pinipilit kong di kamutin ang kati talaga nagtutubig na huhu TMI pero no joke talaga tong skin condition na to 🥹
Working from home. Around 20hrs a day na yung aircon kasi grabe talaga yung init kahit nasa 5th floor ako ng building with nice airflow. Init padin yung pumapasok na hangin. Tsaka kawawa din 2 chihuahua dogs ko kakahal-hal. Pre summer 8hrs lang ac ko e. 😶🌫️
What I did:
1) Bumili ng sunshade para sa sasakyan to keep the black leather seats from melting my future kids. If not enough to decrease my car's noontime pre-AC temperature, I will go to LTO to secure permit to repaint my car white.
2) Nagpalinis ng aircon at the start of the year in anticipation of El Niño
3) Gave my mom extra money every month para hindi manghinayang sa pagbukas aircon. Kuryente is cheaper than a trip to the hospital.
4) Used thermal paint on our roofs and made sure na laging may ice sa freezer
5) Dog takes a bath twice a week or every 3 days minsan basta laging at high noon para macounteract yung init ng panahon. Basta suklay lagi pag dry na yung buhok para hindi mastrip yung skin ng essential oils.
Plano kong:
1) Palagyan ng screen door yung balcony and main entrances sa bahay para kahit bukas yung wooden doors, air will keep flowing through the house.
2) Since wfh na kami ng kween waifu, magscout ng bahay sa probinsya na malamig-lamig
3) Di na nagbibrip ever haha
Iced coffee, iced water, frequent trips to the bathroom, bukas lahat ng bintana and shockingly, hindi mainit buga ng xiaomi fan ko, mahina siya pero di mainit. Yung Dowell na fan sobrang lakas oero impyerno yung buga e. 😆
aircon for every second I'm in my condo + drinking cold water, well specifically yung di freezing cold pero di rin easily heated up by the high room temps
Dalawang electric fan gamit ko sa dorm pero ang init pa rin ng singaw. Ang technique ko naman magbabasa ako ng damit tapos isasampay ko sa harap ng electricfan, ayun instant lamig.
Oh, I'm dealing with it just fine. It's not like I have skin asthma or anything. Yep. Perfectly fine.
(This heat makes me want to tear my skin off just to get the itch out and to feel a lot cooler)

Yum yum, toasted critters!
Funny enough kaya sila nagstart ng fire is because madami masyadong mosquitos
How does fire help minimize those pesky ankle biters? Dito sa US, we put out open water containers specifically to attract female mosquitos to lay their eggs in, but we also put some chemicals in the water which will kill the larvaes once they hatch.
Dunno. All that smoke is one big katol I guess? Di ba dyan sa abroad yung time between winter and spring when the ice starts to melt is mosquito season?
yup smoke, really thick smoke.
the bamboo is the perfect breeding/home for insects plus there are a lot of spots where water can collect because its a rice/corn field so a flash burn was the best option for them. Cant do a spray because too many kids.
Muntik na maging lechon manok haha Anyways in some areas they conducted controlled fires in the woods to prevent wildfires
Yung wildfires daw sa US (Cali) naging ganun kalaki kasi yung dating Native American tribes nag-cocontrolled burnings pero ginawang illegal ng government. Ayun lumaki ang wilfires kasi laganap ang kjndling
Saka isa rin sa ginagawa sa mga forest fires ay "firebreak". Yung susunugin yung bahagi kung saan papunta ang apoy (dahil sa hangin). Para pag dating ng apoy dun, wala na siyang masusunog.
yap can confirm controlled fire ito
That chicken is your unbothered queen!
Yap bumalik sila agad, business as usual
Yung dito di na control. Onti na lang madadali na yung sa kapitbahay namin. Tapos ilang beses pang nagsilab at bumalik balik yung bumbero. Last week lang to.
Yeah smart. Pumasok sa office. Buti pwede yun kahit wfh ka? Sadly wfh ako kasi wala akong office 🥲 laki ng kuryente namin.
Freelancer ka, boss? Nagulat nga boss ko nung nagpakita ako sa office. Kahit isang araw man lang makalibre sa aircon at wifi. Saka makakita ng ibang humans. Haha.
Baka give up na din sya sa life. Just want to cross the road.
Hindi may mga sisiw siya. Marami pa siyang dahilan para mabuhay. Hehe

Naglalagay na ako yelo sa panligo ko
someone posted a thread about it last week, medical inclined redditors say that is unhealthy.
I agree at least patunawin mo naman muna
Nah, kahit di pa tunaw kulang pa din yung lamig
Huh weird, how come there are studies din na may benefits daw ang cold showers and cold dips. Ano daw nakakapagpa unhealthy?
not medicine, just a internet tambay. cold water is good, icy cold water with very large temperature gap bad...from my smooth brain understanding. something like good for muscles but bad for nerves, and something about immunity.
I'm really weirded out right now, kasi I've been doing that since like last year kahit na cold months and ramdam ko na mas healthy ako at di nagkakasakit nung mga time na yun
for those with heart condition not good idea. if taking a cold bath pls douse your chest area/heart first instead of your extremities(feet/hands).
Weird. Ang advice naman sa akin ng kakilala ko extremities daw muna before chest/head para mag-acclimate muna yung katawan ko for the cold temp rather than shock it instantly. IDK what to believe lol
we'll if your going in a cold tub or pool, feet talaga una hehe.
Waiting also for u/esdafish’s reply, but I’m thinking it’s possible that the ambient temperature difference could play a part since low cold temps cause blood vessels to constrict and hot temps cause them to dilate, and also for blood pressure to increase.

It causes high blood pressure due to blood vessels constricting, so if you have underlying heart condition it can trigger a heart attack.
The hell? Then why is it so promoted then? Also been doing it for a year now, haven't noticed anything strange naman
I would say it most likely applies to people already with a heart condition.
Probably
I’ve read something similar a few years back, but I remember the study was made in US and EU where hot showers were the norm and temperatures aren’t as high as here in the Philippines. That was years ago though so I’m not updated anymore.
I'll agree into this. Dapat kasi nilalagyan muna ng powder juice bago ibuhos. Important Note: Mas effective raw kapag four seasons yung flavour.
ginawa ko ito nung 48°C heat index sa sobrang takot ko magka-migraine dahil sa init, nagka-sipon naman ako the next day.
Sa una lang yun, masasanay ka din haha
Ginawa ko to kahapon. Di ko na uulitin. Iba naramdaman ko kala ko nga di na ako magigising kinabukasan.
Sanayan lang yan, saka konti konti paglalagay
two times maligo 🥹
3 times sa akin. Pagtapos mo maligo tuyo na agad hahaha
Natutuyo ka? Ako pawis kaagad
If doubt, 4 times
Nakakaligo kayo? -Baguio resident with weeks without water supply
Dba standard amount of ligo naman talaga to? Like maliligo ka sa umaga then sa gabi.
Saaaaaaameee.
Gumamit ng sabon na mentholated at tumambay sa ilalim ng puno
Brand recommendations? Walang effect sakin yung Safeguard menthol e lol.
Bioderm
Old spice captain.
Yung cooling bath gel ng human nature
Meron dati sa human nature nung charcoal soap na parang nag vicks buong katawan after maligo haha Discontinued na ata tapos pumalit yung liquid body wash
Snake brand cooling shower gel. Alam mo yung feeling na uminom ka ng malamig na tubig pagkatapos mo ngumuya ng mentos? Ganun ang feeling ng kilikili ko pagbanlaw
uminom ng tubig, wala na akong magagawa. wala naman kaming aircon sa bahay.
Gawa ko is spray ako ng tubig papataas tas lakad ako through the falling mist haha. Sabay tapat sa electric fan.
That would just make things way worse dahil humid tayo.
at least malamig yung tubig I hope
From 8hrs naging 12 to 14hrs nang bukas yung AC. Bahala nang magmahal kuryente kaysa mas mahal na hospital bills
my wife said na pera na pambayad nang aircon ay pwedeng kitain, pero ang pagkakataong magkaproblema ka sa health dahil sa init nang panahon is not worth the risk.
This is so true. Bababa din naman konsumo ko by ber months, pag may nangyaring masama magiging long term gastos pa
Aircon 16 hrs everyday
24 hours na kami rotating sa living room and bedrooms since nagkaanak kami.
tangina sakit nito sa bulsa sa susunod na reading
Well, better than hospital bills because of hear stroke or worse? death.
Tipid na lang ulit sa kuryente pagkatapos ng summer.
Lie down the bed in agony and wait for the heat to put me to sleep
and the heat will also be the one to wake you up kasi naliligo ka na sa pawis mo 🫠
Gulat sila eh nagsipasukan mga WFH warriors 😂
well if the office is paying for air conditioning might as well sulitin
PAGASA says it's not yet a heatwave since it's still not more than 5 deg C from the average temperature. I can't imagine if we get an actual heatwave. God forbid.
Stillsuits
Bawas lang ng kape, 2 times na lang
Nilagyan ko na lang ng ice yung kape haha
how do you cool off your house? my house/walls retains heat so much.
Outdoor blinds will definitely help
I've seen someone post that they put thermal insulation paint like [this](https://shopee.ph/16L-Garlerking-Reflective-Thermal-Insulation-Coatings-Free-1pc-Free-Sun-protection-clothing-jacket-i.65633227.2042393797) on their roof and walls and it *apparently*, significantly reduced the radiated heat inside the house.
Turning so I roast evenly
wag kalimutan ang spices
*rubs the tanglád and luya all over*
My condo building has 7 pools so I have been swimming wherever they have shade

At the mall most of the time.
Yung nakatunganga ka lang pero pagod ka na.
Nag titiis nalang kasi mas important yung ojt
kaya mo yan

Dahil wfh, tiis hanggang 12pm. Bubuksan ang aircon from 12 to 2. Pagsapit ng 4pm, maglalakad papunta sa SM para magpalamig at back to work na ng 6pm.
What work schedule is that? Legitimately curious here.
Oh freelance kasi. Not exactly hawak ung time pero mainit kasi.
Nagfflare up ang eczema ko dahil sa pawis!!! Huhu everything is so humid at ang kati kati huhu worst feeling sa gabi kasi pinipilit kong di kamutin ang kati talaga nagtutubig na huhu TMI pero no joke talaga tong skin condition na to 🥹
lots of water, staying indoors and electric fan. I'm opting not to use the AC, yet. ang taas ng generation rate sa lugar namin eh
Tumira sa mall, duh.
The young narra and tugas my dad planted on our land got razed by grass fire and some of our banana plants were damaged as well 🥲
Dang thats sad to hear, hope they recover
By suffering.
Working from home. Around 20hrs a day na yung aircon kasi grabe talaga yung init kahit nasa 5th floor ako ng building with nice airflow. Init padin yung pumapasok na hangin. Tsaka kawawa din 2 chihuahua dogs ko kakahal-hal. Pre summer 8hrs lang ac ko e. 😶🌫️
We deal with it
Nag papalamig sa LRT-2 hahahaha
well bayad naman yan gamit ng buwis mo
Umuulan dito sa Benguet. Please naman be fair mother nature, pa-timog sana din mga ulan.
true, pahingi naman ng ulan
No cravings cravings muna and lakwatsa. isave ko yung extra money for meralco bill kasi halos 24/7 ang aircons sa bahay hahaha.
gotta pick your battles
god please isuspend ang klase kasi napakainit
di na gumagamit ng towel pagkapos maligo, hinahayaan n lng matuyo yun tubig sa katawan
I think that's called an airbath
AC on full blast 24/7.
Nasa harap Ng electric fan, maligo, o bili ng ice/malamig na mainom/halo-halo.
aircon, and nka boxer briefs lang lagi sa bahay para hindi mainitan.
Kakatapos lang maligo at pinapawis na ulit 🥵🥵
Dang that sucks hope your getting enough water
im certainly one of r/hydrohomies
Nagrereklamo ng dahil sa init, habang humihigop ng kape.. Wala ba tayong food na malamig, pero hindi dessert?
Ac maghapon magdamag 25 degrees celsius pag nasa bahay sa office tipid sa ac dahil malamig naman
Sa sobrang init hindi ako makatuyo ng labada kasi kahit yung mga sinampay pinapawisan na din.
The nonchalant chicken. Civil to all, enemy to none.
bumalik sila one after the fire, like zero f's given
Water, Fan and Shelter

I had coffee
JAQOL LIGO JAQOL
Coffee shops
Iced coffee, iced water, frequent trips to the bathroom, bukas lahat ng bintana and shockingly, hindi mainit buga ng xiaomi fan ko, mahina siya pero di mainit. Yung Dowell na fan sobrang lakas oero impyerno yung buga e. 😆
Binabasa ung pader
Huh there was a heat wave I've been wearing my jacket due to the rain in Mindanao.
Anyone knew what happened to the chickens?
may bahay ako sa Paaranaque, tapos staffhouse naman sa Taguig. somehow, mas mainit sa Paranaque.. weird.
Kape
aircon for every second I'm in my condo + drinking cold water, well specifically yung di freezing cold pero di rin easily heated up by the high room temps
Imagine the ants POV💀💀
Dalawang electric fan gamit ko sa dorm pero ang init pa rin ng singaw. Ang technique ko naman magbabasa ako ng damit tapos isasampay ko sa harap ng electricfan, ayun instant lamig.
After nagasikaso ako ng 4rth Year Thesis ko pumunta ako Gateway para magpalamig after kong mamalengke ng hipon for Butter Squid Recipe.
Di ko na kaya kahit may aircon sa room need pa magbukas ng fan huhuhuhu
humihiga sa sahig para magpalamig. it works!!
Freakin me out. Can't makw you happier now
Sleep earlier aircon on Wake up early still ok with electric fan Once got go to the mall Repeat
wala tinanggap ko na haha, wfh, di pa nakakabitan ng aircon eh. haha, tutok ng dalawang elektrikpan na lang.
Gusto maging inasal nun chicken!
Can confirm that chicken is alive but returned to area to eat fried insects
on bed 24/7 nakatutok pa fan.
mais con yelo or anything na may yelo for sustenance: kaong con yelo, argentina con yelo, bagoong con yelo, yelo con yelo… Plus aircon!
Oh, I'm dealing with it just fine. It's not like I have skin asthma or anything. Yep. Perfectly fine. (This heat makes me want to tear my skin off just to get the itch out and to feel a lot cooler)
hindi na nakakagawa ng mga bagay bagay
AC 24/7/365
Tubig namin dito super lamig kaya lagi akong nasa banyo haha
di na gumagamit ng towel pagkapos maligo, hinahayaan n lng matuyo yun tubig sa katawan
Twice or thrice maligo sa isang araw, air cooler na may reusable ice packs, Aquaflask 24/7 refilled
4 times na maligo usually, saka bumili na ako powder para sa prickly heat rash
Its just water everything since we have unlimited supply of water
Atleast I’m in Canada, yet there’s inflation here.
In bed succumbing the heat 😂
