when it's brown out

woke up with the electric fan on and the laptop still plugged in. when i finally got off my bed, everything with electricity started to go on and off like the wireless phone and the tv. later on, the current's all out. brown out. the water system even threatened me, gratefully i had enough to use for bathing.

when it's brown out, it's serene. no tv, no radio, the buzz of the electric fan and the like. so for those hours without electricity, i only get to hear my neighbors' voices since we live so close by; the usual noise of the small and big vehicles passing by in front of us, only clearer this time. i could hear my feet thumping as i walk up and down the stairs. and it was easy for me to hear strangers calling out from our gates except of course when i was in a deep sleep earlier this day, missed the billing man for that.haha!

so what do you do in times like this? to avoid being scolded again by the time my parents get back home, i did put the clothes to where they're placed and to whom it was and put the used clothes on the hamper, arranged some stuffs in mother's aged vanity mirror and threw the used cottons on the trash can. and i even fixed my room a bit to be a little organized and neat (which i do rarely, hardly. forget that i'm a nurse. haha). such pretty little stuffs actually to do. anyhow, since there's no internet connection for me to go online and bury myself listening or watching in youtube or bloghopping or facebooking and the like, amazingly, i finally get myself into reading. and it's in english this time.haha! let's see if i could finish this one sooner or maybe ages especially now that the electricity is back.whoohoo!

btw, i cooked dinner!hurrah! easy dish, at least i was being useful at home..;p
