I am trying to make the most out of the shortening time until 8AM tomorrow. You read it right!
We will have power interruption from 8AM to 5PM or maybe later at 6PM. It will be so hot because there will be no electricity for the electric fans to run. We plan to bring our generator tomorrow for repair.
I hope it will rain tomorrow. It will be good to cool down the surroundings, hydrate the plants, and enjoy the time listening to the rain.
But I feel sleepy now. Maybe I can open my netbook in my room and still interact here? Or just watch TV or play games on my phones.
I have already zeroed out my notifications, and there are 11 new more.
If ever I cannot reply to you, it means I am already asleep. So, goodnight from the northern part of the Philippines, and I will surely miss you all tomorrow.

I hope you enjoy your day. I guess blackouts can be good for getting away from the electronic world.

Yes and I think we have this schedule every month or 2 months. The dry spells eventually cause the dams to release more water to the public.
I did slept well last night, thank you.

@ridingbet I've heard about the outages before. My question is this: Is the electric utility in such bad shape that your country needs to schedule outages? Is there any plans to update your electric utility in the future? It seems odd, when other parts of the world functions well without outages.

@just4him not always. there are scheduled power interruptions because the water in our dams are rapidly decreasing now. he have the hydroelectric power to run electricity.

Good morning. Yes, our electric cooperative announces the schedule of power interruption and what areas are affected. It is everyone's wish though that there should be no interruption but it can't be avoided. Sad!!!
