last night, around 9:30 pm we experienced black out. we were wondering why that happened, when there is no typhoon, no rains nor winds. it lasted for 3 hours. as soon as the lights got up i turned on the TV for the news about the black out but i tuned in late. so in the news this morning, reporters said it was a transformer which caught fire, or exploded or got broken or something. and due to that, blackouts will be by turns- quezon city, marikina, pasig and rizal. and that outtage will last for 6 hours. we're included in the black out (coz we live in rizal) and this morning, blackout started 11:30 am until 2:30. we had electricity for only 3 hours and it striked again. from 5:30pm until 8:00pm. i am afraid that the black out will be up again, we're nearing the 3 hour mark and it will be blackout time again. hopefully that transformer will be fixed soon so we wo'nt be having power outage. i think the electric company wants our appliances to be broken. imagine what they are doing? it's like earth hour every 3 hours. grrr. >.<
it's 78 days before Christmas. i remembered that when i watched SiS.
black out, freak out
lights off please!!!
at exactly 2030 last night the Philippines participated in the Earth Hour by switching the lights off for 1 hour. this advocacy started in Sydney 2 years ago to raise awareness of the effects of climate change in the planet. many countries also took part in this major event.
the family joined the whole country in its support for Earth Hour just as we did last year.
i signed up for Earth Hour and expressed my participation in the event
i'm glad to have contributed in the advocacy against global warming. even in simple ways like this, we can make a big difference. i've read some comments about people who are against this campaign. they just don't care at all for the world they're living in. no wonder we suffer from climate change and global warming!
ignoring the detractors, this event actually unified the people around the world and showed its concern for the environment. the earth is the place God gave us to live. and God gave us the responsibility of caring for it, not destroying it. God may have given us wisdom to make our lives better through electricity and automobiles and all that but not to the expense of earth's destruction. we must make every effort to save it and care for it because when the it's gone, we're gone too.
