Oh yes, my dear friends, today is a two-in-one day. It means I am making 2 discussions instead of one, because tomorrow will be an 8AM to 5PM power interruption again, and this will include my province and nearby towns of other provinces as well.
I and my son just arrived home from the city for an errand; there was power disruption while I was commenting back on a discussion, so we decided to leave our house to buy dog food.
This discussion should be for tomorrow, but since I will not be around, I am making it now. Hence, two-in-one day.
I hope tomorrow, the temperature will not be as hot and humid like today; otherwise, I will not know how to keep myself cool.

surprise, surprise. our vicinity is spared from the brown out. we have light, but no cable relay, so we attached the antenna, and i am able to watch the finals of NBA.
i am following the electric cooperative's FB wall, and i knew about the power interruption as shared by a male colleague.

I wonder why they have to do power interruptions when it's terribly hot
, good thing we don't have them yet here in Metro Manila.

oh, please don't say YET, my friend, because it is as if you are expecting for it. hahah!
but hopefully you won't have that. how about water shortage? have you experienced that?

@ridingbet no water shortage either, we are Maynilad water, think our electric supply is based on water in our dams, good it has been raining lately

@louievill the Magat dam here i think is reaching its critical level, but it is gaining more water from the rains now.

@ridingbet 2 malls? wow. i hope they didn't cut down trees like they did in baguio. houses near the malls can take advantage by renting rooms or setting up eateries.

i don't know. maybe this is the first time for this month of June. we expect more power interruptions because there are 2 malls about to open anytime within the next 6 months; 1 might open until this month's end.

@hereandthere the area where Robinson's super mall is constructed had many centuries-old acacia trees. sadly all of them were cut. i hope the spirits there won't appear to anybody at dusk or night time.

one reason is because our dams have low water level, not enough to generate power supply to many provinces and regions.

@ridingbet When the wind blows from north the air is always cool and pleasant, even in summer.

Well, we are lucky to hear from you twice today then.
I dislike humid weather.. It is really not to bad here. but in my house it sure felt like it. I had my Air Conditioner on and if I moved away from it I felt so hot I thought I would pass out..
Now I am at work and there is a fan blowing on me . That feels nice.

I HATE power interruption more than water maintenance. It's like everything about the world stops. Hope you survive 8 hours of black out. I'm thinking of buying another battery.
