hot temperature... what do you do to ease the hotness of the weather?

Hi there, fellow Filipino. I can relate to what you're saying since we're in the same country. Two days ago to be precise, the sun was scorching hot and it was so irritating. Good thing, though, that I'm inside the bank premises where the aircon unit is turned on. I don't have to endure the heat outside. But after our office hours, I had no other choice but to head on home. My daughter and I currently live with my parents since we still don't have our own house and renting a house or an apartment is quite costly. My husband works in a far away location. My mom owns an internet cafe where we sleep and eat. Naturally, the aircon is turned on but even if this is the case, the unit couldn't cope up with the hot weather. It isn't a practice for me to take a shower during the evening but that particular day was rather an exception. I even had to bathe my four-year old daughter. If I haven't done this, she would have tossed and turned on our mattress and not be able to get a good night's sleep. If this happened, I surely would have experienced lack of sleep, too. Regards.
