blackout diaries - part 3

*finally* we got power back on!! hahaha. three days of no electricity. sheesh. that was a real bummer. i am never going to wish that huge rainwish again, bwahahaha :p

spent the early part of the day in a grumpy mood. hmm. i think blackouts do that to people. heat and boredom just makes everyone less inclined to smile, hahaha. anyway, i was just thinking about the "casualties" of this storm and this loooong blackout - those who got flooded.. those whose cars got squished by billboards and falling trees.. and our pet carp (who died last thursday - may it find rest in fish heaven, wherever that may be). so i spent the better part of my morning keeping a close watch on our remaining fish. i swore i wouldn't let any of them die on my watch.

bes heids dropped by around 2.45pm to pick me up. we went to her place (gave me another chance to recharge my laptop, my zen and my celphones) to relax - they had electricity by then. too bad their dsl wasn't working yet.. and there wasn't any cable tv either (we had to watch these sucky gossip shows on channel 7. ewww). but it sure beats moping in the dark, hoping against all hope that power will be restored within the day.

from there, we went to st. paul for fr mar's bday celebration. it was fun, hehe. and though the gym was *really* hot.. we all had a blast. it took our minds off the blackout and the craziness of the past days. hahaha. thank goodness we now have power back here in our area :p

if there's anything i've learned these past days, it's not to take electricity for granted again. ever.. :p

now i wonder what i'm going to do next.. :p
