HOW I LOVE SUNDAYS

Sunday, the second working day of the week,,,,,, here in KSA. While most of the pinoys in my nativeland Davao are still lying lazily ;either wide awake or perhaps half asleep at about 9 in the morning, here am I in the land of sand and camel, working my butt out under the scorching heat of the summer sun. Whew,,it’s 49 degrees celsius outside as per today’s forecast. The blow of the wind in my nostrils reminds me of the air coming from the back of the aircon unit in our bedroom. Slightly humid but the thing I hate is the sandstorm that is expected at about 2 pm today. I'm daydreaming ,,,at about this time in my country I'm already at the kitchen preparing the sinigang na silik ng Malasugue with my favorite, kinilaw na malasugue and inihaw na panga. With Coke litro and yellow mangos at the lunch table of course....pass the siling labuyo please...I love Sundays …That is in the Philippines, huh? Here in Saudi,we'll be feasting on the scheduled lunch for today.Pritong manok just like the ones we had in every Sundays I can rememb. No concrete pouring today .We will focus on the precast elements to be erected today. The hollow core slab for the third floor and the remaining beams at Phase 3.. What bothers me is the erection of the Pre cast beams at the Phase 3 since the 250 ton crane has already left the site and I am forced to use the 80 ton for the remainder of the Pre cast erection. It will be a hell of a job but we can do it as long as the weather will cooperate. I am relieved thinking about this coming Tuesday .We will be casting the last portion of concrete slab and after this, we are no longer responsible for the delay that may hamper the operation.I am safe from the blame of the Precast contractors. We are not the cause of the delay , it’s them. What a relief .The pressure is not anymore in my shoulders....... For the mean time.
