~ cold! Cold! COLD! ~

16 January 2000

it’s been more than a week since the last entry. i’m lazy. it’s too cold to sit in front of my computer and type.

NYC has been really cold lately. the temperature lingers around 2F to 18F. the wind chill is even worse. it feels like -17F out there… when the wind hits my face, it feels like tons of needles shredding my skin. ouch! and with 48MPH wind, i literally could fly.

i think it’s kind of dangerous. the other day, i was waiting for the light to turn green on the side of the road, ready to cross. all the sudden there was a big gust of wind coming from behind pushing me to the road. thank god there was no car passing at that time, or else, i would’ve gotten hit. i think my puffy jacket is too wide, making me sorta like a kite.

i managed to get to work this morning, however, without being blown away by the wind.

ari and i bought a humidifier for ari’s apartment. we’ve been having some bloody nose due to the dry air. we usually keep the window slightly open to add some humidity to the room, but it was too cold. the air got so dry that i’ve been having sore throat for the last 2 weeks.

as for my apartment, i use wet towel and put it on the top of the heater… cheaper humidifier. it doesn’t work as well as ari’s, but i guess it’s ok… bebe doesn’t complain as much.
