I will miss you guys.
We have an announcement today by our city government that we have a whole day power interruption starting 8am up to 5pm. So in this case it's my rest day in front of my laptop and surely I will miss most of your discussion.
I'm still thinking what are the things I can do tomorrow if I don't have power?
Maybe I will call my friend to hangout and go to the mall.
What do you think guys?

Hi,
Where are you from? Here in India also, in certain states got affected a major power-grid failure and many areas and places is gone day-night power failure for few days and the authorities are still working to resolve the problem. Are you here in India somewhere New Delhi, the worst affected area.

I'm from Philippines the reason of power interruption here is because of the typhoon we have and they have to clean our city from trees and electric wires to fix. I know in India just because of the power plant I guess.

Go hang out at the mall :D hunting foods and shopping, thats what I will do if I were you. The other option is go to bookstore, buy some books, buy some snacks, going home and have good reading time :D

Yes they have power generators and most of the people in the city are there to have fun. Reading books is fun but I guess it's time for us to go out

Well, you, like me, now I seem to become a Mylot-addict. I understand you perfectly. To me, not a day passes that I do not write at least some threads of this magnificent site.
About a month ago (as u know), Mylot and we all had some problems users have had to give up working on it.
Fortunately, everything is back to normal, and even the site we were rewarded by paying us 4 times our daily gain for nearly a week.
As for what you can do during a power failure, to go to the park with friends, it seems to me, a good idea!

I agree with Alberello, it seems even 1day I will be missing a lot here. Going to the park today is not advisable because we still have strong winds and heavy rains. Going to the mall lr stay at my house is the best. But I will bored If I will be stay at my house.

Yhea good thing in your city it is very large and only in your areas has no power but here the whole city is totally block out, were just lucky that we already have a new mall that we can spent most of out time to ease boredom.

At least your city government gave notice of power interruption instead of getting surprised with the lack of electricity. It helps you to prepare what to do on that day. Hmmmm...Well, living without electricity is quite difficult so going to the mall is a great idea. However, just resting and sleeping all day is my best bet. I am a lazy guy! Well, you called it rest day so I literally will rest on that day!

It's a long time without power supply. It will be well bored inside home without electricity. Spending your time inside you malls with the friends is a good idea. I hope you will have a good wonderful time with you friends and along with it I hope you will be back soon after the power is back

I will miss you too lynboobsy. Last Saturday night we experienced power interruption too from 12 midnight up to 8 am due to strong win and typhoon, even though we want to go out to bring some food or stay in 7/11 for a while we can't do it because we cant go out because of the flood. Going to the mall and hangout with friend is a great idea because you can be relax, enjoy and shop at the same time. I am hoping that you will have a great time with your friend. Have a nice day!

Well,if i were you,i will take a good chat with my family or friends all day,or go to the mall is also a good idea,In fact,i think no power can be very romantic,if you have a leisurely mood.you can also have a good sleep,then go out to walk,relax the mood......

It is good to take time off, even from MyLot. Will the Mall have power? If it doesn't it might not be much fun.

Honestly I think we could all use a day away from our computer and or electric gadgets. We are glued to them too much. Though like others'; as I'm sure I"m not the only one justify it by the fact we are working on some earnings on some web site or another.

I think that would drive me nuts. I am lost with out my laptop. Thank goodness I do have an Iphone so I could still get online that way but omg no power. That really sucks. I hate when they have to shut our power off they have not had to do it recently but I do remember having a hot day with no power and not having a car to go any where. We hung out down in the basement and played board games where it was cool with our battery operated lamps for camping thank goodness my kids were little enough they thought it was fun. I was just trying to make something happen that they would think it was fun. I hope that you don't have to go the entire time with out power and that they get you back up and running quick. Like I said I would be nuts with out my computer.

That's really long huh...
Usually black out here in our area last for 3-6 hours.
And 6 hours is the maximum..
Just enjoy malling then

They say because of the typhoon many big leaves and tress are hanging on the power lines and they will have to cut down the power so that no one will hurt. We still have strong winds at the moment water are rising again from the rivers that's why were also alert. I hope I can go out for malling today.

What's the reason for the power interruption friend? Hope it's not another rotating brown out that would affect even us living here in metro Manila, was it caused by the recent typhoon and flooding? Yes the mall, it's cold and time flies by fast there and before you know it you will be back Mylotting, OK till then....

Hi lyn,
That's a great idea, you can spend a lot of time with friends. It's about time to have a little break away from myLot. For sure you can catch up some of the discussions you will miss.
