A LITTLE BIT OF PAIN GOES A LONG LONG WAY!

Saturday 34 degrees,  Sunday 37 degrees.   I was euphoric!  Despite the national alert for sunstroke and UV rays in Victoria (bushfires everywhere and the city was enveloped by smokes!!!),  I gleefully went around in my cargo pants,  bond’s singlet, and thongs. 

Did not even bother putting on some sunscreen protection.  First time on a weekend that we have this hot hot weather.  I was transported in the Philippines.

So Ala Pinoy style,  I shopped with an open body-mind-soul, in an open Sunday market for almost two hours finding the right gifts for friends and enemies - unperturbed by the oven like heat of the sun!  A woman market seller asked me whether I was not feeling burnt at all looking at my happy face, since most Aussies were really festered and flustered and could not stand the blazing heatwave.  I wickedly said ”No, I love love love this heat!!!”, like I was a demon from hell.

I was having my revenge againts the cold Melbourne weather, and it feels sooo good!  I was thinking,  by this time tomorrow I will have a beautiful brown tan to be envied by people at work.  Not like the fake  tan I used to spray and turns me orange!

Last night, I felt the pain of a first degree burn in my arms, shoulders and upper back. It is scalding.   I have forgotten how this burning pain feels like.  The red burnt soft skin that is so painful when touched.  Call me masochistic, but honestly, I like this sweet burning pain!  Like being slowly roasted alive on a burning charcoal -  a pig on a roast pit!   The oil of your skin pouring out!  A very catarthic feeling!  Yes!  But I am beginning to feel really hot, hot, hot!  My breath is hot!

And suddenly I wanted to lick a galloon of ice cream and gulp a liter of icy cold coke. I was really hot and I ran towards the cold icy fresh breeze of an air conditioned room.   I’ve never ever liked being cold until yesterday.  

Burning skin against freezing cold air.  It is a wonderful state of being alive! 

Lucky it is cold again today! 

  

TO QUEEN PRISCILLA OF THE DESERT, WITH LOVE FR WONG FOO!

 

I so get mixed up with these two super drag queen movies.  Wong Foo being the American and Priscilla the Australian version.

Queen Priscilla is to be shown as a musical.  The world premiere being in Sydney this month.  Wow!  That is something to look forward to.

This one looks like a freightening circus (not serious!) drag queen though!
