It might as well be the stone age! This is probably what went on in the minds of most people belonging to the Baby Boomer generation and below. Everything (nowadays) is depenedent on electricity to run. Without electricity, it seems that someone had suddenly pushed "pause" on our lives. We can't work on our computers, watch TV, play video games or surf the net. THe list goes on.... It's almost hard to find anything to do when the power's out.
When its daylight, it's still ok, since we can play cards, read or do some arts and crafts. But when the darkness starts, it's so hard to find anything to do. We try to lie down and sleep, but we can't since the air-conditioner isn't on. Or if we get to sleep, we wake up a few hours later because our bodies are already fully charged. and yes, there's nothing to do still. So we end up lying down and thinking, and that too can be a bother since we're humans and we can get tired of thinking. Or we may just run of stuff to think about. We can always call or text our friends, but we try not to drain the battery of our mobile phones much. So, what are we to do?
This is basically a few thoughts pertaining to the 2 day power outage we had due to "Milenyo". haha FOr a detailed report of how I spent my 2 days without elctricity, check out www.wretch.cc/blog/enelrahc
Honestly, I still felt lucky compared to others. At least, there was no major damage to our house. And the brownout only lasted for 2 days. There are still places that don't have power. Then there were other places that didn't have water and electricity both at the same time.
