Just heard word from our national weather service and TV stations that it will pretty much be a gloomy week.  This is because of continuous low pressure areas evolving into either typhoons or tropical depressions.  Sigh.

Due to this weather, our power has also been interrupted a number of times already, and these are the 1-minute interruptions that I’m afraid might do more damage to our appliances than the hour-long outages.   Now I make sure I charge everything I can at the beginning of each day, rechargeable emergency lights, phones, laptops, tablets, basically everything that I could charge.  It may seem petty to worry about these things but I know for a fact that these “things” help me and my little girl entertain ourselves when there’s no power.  The games on my phone and on the tab are what keeps us busy during these days.  Good thing there are a lot of games that don’t need internet connection to be played.

How I wish though that we have one of those modern outdoor fire pit.  I’m sure we’ll have a blast with it even when there are outages everywhere.  Just thinking of roasting or heating up mallows and hotdogs will definitely be a distraction from such a gloomy week or any day for that matter.
