Just as I was responding to some comments in my latest discussion about the net getting off-air, the electric power was also cut off at 9:25 this morning. I was surprised why my ‘LIKE’ ON Miss @DianneN’s discussion is not registering, and I was not able to comment in the comment box.
When I glanced at the altar (it is equipped with electric candles), the candles were not ‘lit up’. Therefore, I thought we have power interruption again.
Yesterday was the internet connection getting off; now, it is the electric power.
It is always ‘’again, again, again!”
And it is back again.

There are times when I am also disconnected when using my PLDT Home... I think it started last March... Maybe because there are lots of internet users now while we are in community quarantine. It's good I have back up connections. I have my Globe pocket wifi and Globe at home prepaid wifi...
On Saturday, we will have 6 to 6 power interruption. Huhuhu! I have to prepare my powerbanks and phones.

so, this Saturday, are you online, or will it be next saturday?
i do not use the mobile date. once i tried it when my son went to HongKong and i was alone in my brother's house. i tried the mobile data but, as naive as i am, the data is only for a short time.

@ridingbet oh, it's next Saturday Ate.. June 27..
Yup, mobile data is quite expensive. It's 5 pesos per 15 minutes for regular browsing... But they also have promos.
The promos in globe at home and pldt home are more affordable and won't drain your battery fast unlike when you are using mobile data.

@ridingbet When I had the last power outage, I need to let the company tagged me absent for three classes because my generator didn't work.

@ridingbet It is really a pain when you cannot trust the power.

@LadyDuck i agree. this evening, the roars of thunder are getting stronger and the wind is blowing longer too. clouds were forming while the eclipse was happening. i do not know if it will rain.

Internet down or no electricity is annoying especially when you have important things to do in the computer.
