Black Out

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

I just finished brushing my teeth then the light suddenly goes out.  At first I thought that it was just a glitch and the light would be back in a moment since it is happening most the times.  A few minutes later, the light is not coming back; at that time I am convinced that it was indeed a brownout.  There were no heavy rainfalls so the occurrence is not expected.

Since I have insomnia, I am having a hard time sleeping.  I kept myself busy by playing with the candle all night.  Morning came but the lights didn’t come back.  I ask my mother on when with the lights be back but she said that she hasn’t been able to listened to any news lately.  I have to spend all day without the comfort of a television and a computer.  My mother and my sister went out to have a chat with our neighbors. They found out that one of the transformers which are located on Jala Jala Rizal exploded.  No one knows exactly why it suddenly explodes.  There are talks that the lights will be coming back tomorrow.  Upon hearing this, I prepared the candles.

Night has come and the candles are all prepared.  My sister and the neighbor have shared some gas to fuel the gasera.  Upon seeing the lights being produce by our lamp, I immediately told my sister to replace it with a candle since it is so dangerous.  The bottle could heat up and eventually exploded.  So my sister put the lights out coming form the lamp and lighted the candles instead.  At exactly 11:46, I heard my cousin shouting that the lights have returned.
