It is the cold season here in the Philippines. Yes, we are craving this kind of weather for the past 11 months! Haha! Just kidding. We are in the equator and all year round is hot and humid. Also, the storms are no joke when it is the raining season.
Thank you, sponsors! Special shout out to @IamAshrone for renewing the sponsorship! <3
Today's article, I will give few reasons why I do not like the coldness, but most of the time I like it! It is just sometimes that the cold is like a sharp dagger piercing my bones. I cannot really stand a cold room.
1) My skin is so tight, it cracks and creates a wound.
The problem with the fast change of temperature is me cracking my lips haha! In the morning it is cold then in the afternoon it will be warm. This situation really makes my skin in bad condition. Not only my lips, but my skin feels tights after washing with cold water. It is not a thing in the Philippines to have a hot and cold tap water. What I just do is apply lip balm for my lips and lotion for my arms and legs. This is when I always ran out of lotion. Haha!
2) Cold feet every time.
Having a cold feet is like walking in ice every time. I want to use socks to cover up but after 5 minutes it will start to really warm it up. I am like stuck on being cold and being hot. So what I do is just put thin blanket on my feet and when it starts to be warm I will just uncover it.
3) It is hard to dry up my hair
I did a whole article about the cons of having a thick hair. One of the cons is it is hard to dry up my hair, what more if the weather is cold! Some people view of having a long hair as a beauty. Beauty also comes with ugly, like everything else, there will be always a hole. This chilly season, I only wash my hair every other day because I do not sweat a lot this time. Also, washing your hair everyday will strip away the natural oil on it. So for me, I was my hair when I really sweat a lot that day. What I do to dry my hair in this cold season is just blower it for 30 mins. Having a wet hair going to bed is causing me a headache. Ouch!
4) Frequent peeing.
What is more annoying than frequent peeing? I always have my tumbler on my side desk for me to be reminded to drink water. I have a 650 ml tumbler and I have to drink it all before lunch and then another one before dinner. And so, being cold is also having a frequent trip on the bathroom. This disrupts my momentum on what I am working on or watching. Well, I just have to deal with it rather not drinking. Haha!
5) I feel sluggish and lazy.
Do you ever feel lazy and just want to be in bed all day in a cold weather? Yup, me too! I just want to chill on my cold pillow and then snugs myself on my blankets and then I will watch funny videos on Tiktok or YouTube. This is the bad side of cold weather haha! Makes me just doze off but I remind myself, "Hey, you have work and things to pay! Get your a-- out of the bed and start working!". The inner me motivates me though haha! Do not worry this situation happens like once in a week.
Final Thoughts
There will always an advantage and disadvantage. This time I highlighted the disadvantages. But do note that I like the cold weather than the hot weather. Actually, one of my dream destination is Alaska. I watch this family vlog on YouTube that lives in the most far away part of Alaska where people live. This sparks my interest to visit a cold country. Well, I might have a warm choco drink after writing this article, hehe!
