Just went back online. But before the electricity came back I felt sluggish, My head was about to POP. Heck where's the electricity!!!!!
Ughh! I didn't know what to do. I was walking around in the backyard in circles. A thought came into me... Start GARDENING!!
That's how it ended, I grabbed the trowel, rake and everything. Set-up the soil for planting. When I planted the seeds, the electricity came back so I hurriedly sprinkled it water and headed back to the house. But before I could enter the house as I looked back, the Chickens were already digging and eating the seeds ..

good thing to know you can have time to garden your area.there are things around us we can't have time into because of electricity.i myself had done some cleaning in our place the way i never did before.because when there's electricity,you'll always see me here in front of computer,hanging out in mylot.hehe
sometimes things around us don't seem to matter when we are online.lucky you have only oe hour brownout.we have experienced yesterday whole day brownout and i found myself sleeping,and resting most of the time,the way i haven't done long time ago during afternoons and early to bed i go last night.though i always think of having electricity here of course,there are things that really needs to have electric powers right?
i think it would be really hard and most people can't survive having that situation themselves.well,yeah,i'm one of them i guess!

We're back on the rotating brownout again? So that's why we had a power outage from 10-1:30. I thought maybe they're just fixing lines or something. Hey, I thought Meralco already fixed that problem? Is it because of the typhoon? Sorry if I'm kinda out of it. I haven't read or watched news since the typhoon. It's a good thing you managed to find a really engaging activity to do. I just read a book when the blackout happened this morning.

Well, it's a good start. I think that incident is trying to get you back to your gardening days. Maybe it's telling to be more productive hehe. It's just disappointing to see your work being spoiled by those chickens.. EAT THEM!!! haha!
