i just took a bath and the water was quite cold. i could not take a shower at once. so i tried to get used to the cold first before i took the shower and it was so nice feeling to have a cold shower. it is because it is raining that the water on the shower is cold also. we dont' have any warm water out of the faucet. we don't have that in our home. we only have cold water. so i don't want to shower in warm water so the cold water is just fine with me. before i am not used to take a shower on that kind of cold water. so i would usually boil water and add that on a bucket of cold water and just take a bath using that water. but now i just save some gas by not boiling any water anymore. but the water just feel cold for some time, after some time the water that comes is a less cold already . but it is just okay though.

It's the same thing in our house. Something which my husband wasn't able to adjust to (he's of different nationality). He hailed from a country when they're winter is freezing cold, yet he thinks our tap water is too cold for him, can't blame him because he's got heater growing up. Anyway, I just find it funny that every night, my husband turns on the AC as he said it's too warm for him here, yet in the morning he turns on the water heater for his shower. Insane, lol!

We installed a home filtering system; it's got 3 stages, really small for household use and we just change the filter (each stage's filter have different life span). Then we have these container of water which you just flip over the water dispenser and you just switch on and then push your glass over if you want hot water or cold water. It's actually cheaper than buying water in a water refilling station. Definitely no drinking of water here straight from tap :)

just be careful coz you might catch flu due to cold shower specially if your used to warm water and if its cold. i used to have cold shower coz i have no choice since we run out of gas and the gas delivery didnt come yesterday maybe because of the heavy rain and we dont have electric water heater and now i am having runny nose and im not sure if its due to the cold water from the shower or maybe because i was all wet when i tried to go outside yesterday.
