Imagine a world without electricity

I went out to the field this morning to check for some punchlists (particularly the big water cooling pumps and related instruments) that need to be done. We were struggling to locate some of the items but we were able to see them. We also went to the control room to check the display graphics related to the pumps. One of the senior operators guided us and talked about it. The pumps will be started up tentatively 21st of July so we need to prepare everything. So after that, we headed back to our office. Again, we found out that we did not have power. I was told that there is a shortage of power for this location (not only at this site but to all parts of this place). I guess they (or should I say we?) need to start this power plant soon (464 MegaWatts of combined power). I could imagine having no power for just one day. It will be horrible. Nowadays, how could we live without it? Sa mga bansang maiinit, malamang, wala na magse-sex...

Walang kinalaman ang init pag ikaw ay nakakaramdam ng urge pre. Subukan mo lang at ito ay malalaman mo. :=)

Tanginang yan! Tuwing gabi na lang na namamatay ang ilaw sa apartment namin. Buong July na palaging pinapatay ng mga buwisit na may-ari ng power. Dati, tuwing mag-8pm pinapatay. Ito pa naman ang madalas na time ko para gumawa ng dinner. So, dahil palaging 8pm, binago ko naman at ginawa kong 7pm. Ang mga hinayupak talaga, sukat ba namang baguhin at gawing 7pm??? Palagi ko tuloy pinapatay ang stove at hihintayin na namang magbukas ang ilaw. Naubos na kasi mga kandila namin. Tsaka mainit sa loob kaya lumalabas ako ng room dahil mahangin naman sa labas. Kapag kasalukuyang nagluluto ako at namatay ang ilaw, sumisigaw ako na parang nasisiraan ng bait. Todo lakas na halos mapigtal ang tonsil ko sa batok, este lalamunan pala. Minsan, hanggang dalawang oras ang brownout. Mga gago!!!!!!
