July 14, 2010: Do-nothing Day
I woke up at 5:40AM. At least, that's what I saw on my phone when I looked at it. And I saw that I received a lot of messages. Most of them were GMs, saying that there were no classes. I also sent my own GM to inform those who don't yet know, then I went back to sleep.
I woke again at around 7. I saw that mom was still there, and I thought that she wasn't coming to work. I asked if we have electricity, and she said no. At first I was okay. My phone was still fully charged, and I was confident that the electricity will be back in about two or three hours.
We ate breakfast, and we drove mom to her office in Makati. I used my phone to listen to music, because dad was listening to the radio in the car to keep updated of the weather, and I didn't want to be rude. We headed home after we dropped mom off. We bought lunch at Jollibee. Meanwhile, the battery in my phone was slowly draining, and I was doing nothing to preserve it.
When we got home there was still no electricity. I played guitar, texted, then ate lunch. Finally my phone passed out. I started reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Then I fell asleep while reading.
When I woke up, I saw that my dad and sister were still asleep. I checked if the electricity was back, but unfortunately, it wasn't yet. So I ate a snack, then checked again. No luck. So I went back to reading The Alchemist. I finished it, and so I really had nothing to do. And when I have nothing to do, I go crazy. And when I go crazy, I'll start to get angry. And when I'm angry, I'll find a way to let it all out, so I can remove it from my system. And that's kinda what happened.
Then I read my diary. My diary, the one I write on when I have time, which is almost never now. :)) It made me smile as I recalled the happy moments of my late sophomore life. Haha. :D
Anyways, I was on the carpet, reading my diary, then I saw a flash of light. It came from the light bulb! But it was just a flash! After one minute . . . the electricity was back! I opened the laptop and the modem.
And then I saw it: there was no internet. Daaaaaamn! It came back late at night, and I was really stressed by then. Whew. Yeah.
