Yesterday, i learned that the size of one's foot is proportionate to the circumference of his/her ring finger.
Hmm, made me remember the thing most Pinoys do when buying pants (jeans or otherwise). What most of us do (yes, I'm also one of "them") aside from checking out the pants size stated in the label, we hold up the the waist of the pants from both sides and try to fit it around our neck. I was once told that the circumference of the neck is proportionate to a person's waistline. Interesting!
So I tried researching for some more of the human body's surprising facts when it comes to proportionality. That's where Wikipedia comes in. What a cool source.

Meanwhile, ate G invited some people at the office to have lunch at her place. It was fiesta in her neighborhood last Sunday and she had the excess ingredients cooked up for us (too bad I wasn't able to take pics of the sumptuous feast). Although I've already had lunch with Ted, we happily obliged to ate G's request and sampled among others the very delicious spaghetti, the yummy garden salad, the tasty squid, and the sweetened nata de coco for dessert. It was kinda an eat-and-run thing coz we had to be back at the office by 1PM.

Back at the office, it rained hard yesterday just before closing time. Weather reports announced the first tropical storm that entered the Philippine area of responsibility was named Amang.
Typhoon Amang leaves RP
05/21/27 08:30 AM
Two days after being the first typhoon to enter Philippine territory this year, typhoon "Amang" (international codename: Yutu) left the country Sunday night, continuing to gather strength as it did so.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Amang was located 1,350 km east of Batanes as of 10 p.m. Sunday.
It said Amang now has a maximum sustained winds of 175 kph and gustiness of 210 kph, and was moving northeast at 22 kph.
Amang was expected to be 1,790 kms east northeast of Batanes by Monday night. - GMANews.TV

I really am not a big fan of rain. Especially because when the rainy days come, it also rains inside our bathroom. And why is that? Well, nakakita na ba kayo ng alulod sa loob ng banyo?
The house where I live in is kind of an ancestral house which belongs to my grandparents. It was a large house subdivided to accommodate the number of families (us and my father's siblings' families) who either opted to stick with the oldies or just can't have a place of their own due to financial constraints.
Unfortunately, our bathroom space is located between two high structures. When it's raining heavily, most of the rainwater go through our kitchen roof then to the bathroom roof and ends up in the gutter down to our bathroom drain.
So year after year, when the rainy season comes, it frustrates me that i couldn't crap in there without getting wet. We had to resort to bringing an umbrella inside the bathroom so we could do our "dirty business."
More frustrating is the fact that we need a considerable amount of dough to solve that problem. And even if Mom and I put our savings (if there's any) together, it's still not enough to do some makeover for the house.

But now that my sister is also working, my hopes are up that one day, we could do the much-needed overdue renovation to the old house, starting from the bathroom. Then perhaps, we could pick up from there. We've got plans for the house and I'm hoping that little by little, and with some help from sis, we could make it feel more cozy and homey. It may not look like a dream house, but then, that's a different story.

With a little bit more of patience and hard work, one's dreams can come true.
Yes, sweetie, good things come to those who wait. Pana-panahon lang yan!
