Suddenly…
I never thought I’d say this to myself: I long for a heated blanket.
Unusual, knowing that I can tolerate cool weather except of course in extreme circumstances which rarely happens due to our climate.
The weather has been cool lately all because the rainy season is in full blast. Daytime is another story though. It is the season of “suddenly” as a television commercial says: suddenly there’s rain, thunder, lightning, the works especially during the afternoon. People with weak immune system are getting sick.
Here are a few tips on how to avoid getting sick during these times:
- get enough rest/sleep
- load up on ascorbic acid
- bring rain gear whenever you will go out of your house
- drink plenty of fluids
- get enough exercise

Nuvali One Evotech
Nuvali One Evotech Building is a cool structure. And by cool I mean literally cool.
The building was designed to have cool air entering the premises and plants planted between ramp-like pathways to encourage easier walking. There is only one elevator which, if one uses these ramps would not be used, especially for those who want to have some “leg work” done.
This green building was built according to the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) standards.
Another green building with green roofs was also visited in this trip, along with a visit to beautiful green homes. I’m not sure if Baldwin door hardware was used in these homes but I am sure that recyclable materials and minimized use of artificial lights are a part of the package.
It would be good for these homes to use Eco-Furniture too.
