Chokingly Hazy

The month of June and it's that time of the year again where we are suffering from bad air quality and general discomfort because of the haze. Check this post and you can see another post in 2005 about the haze: http://writingblocks.blogspot.com/2005/08/hazy-lazy-days-of-summer.html

The people with asthma are particularly vulnerable to this and must take care. Others are advised to drink lots of water and pray it rains heavily so that the haze will be washed away.


Take care people. The days are hazardous. Sorry. Just couldn't help punning that.

Hazy Days Are Back Again

Back in August 2005 I wrote about the Hazy Lazy Days (Check the archives). Well, guess what? They are back again. It's not that we've enjoyed fresh, sunny days all these while in between. On the contrary, hazy days occur every year around this time. This time it's earlier than it was in August 2005 although it's not that bad... yet. At least, there's no burning smell in the air ... yet. That's right, you guessed it. I'm not being very optimistic about the condition of our air. I'm sorry, but I can't help being pessimistic about it because it happens every year. The only consolation is whether it'll be as bad as last year or worse than last year.

They keep saying it's the effect of global warming but is it solely because of that or other recurring problem? Hot, dry and hazy. What a combination. In the meantime, I'll have the air-conditioner on full blast and hope for the best when I look out the window every morning.

Wait. Is that the thunder I hear? Can it be true? Will it rain and pour down hard to wash away this annoying haze and smog? I can only wait and hope. Wait and hope ... sigh.
