Power Fluctuations and the May 2010 Election

I noticed almost everyday and night, me and my neighbors were experiencing power fluctuations. My mother was so pissed off every time it happened. She always burst out these words :

"Naninira na naman ng appliances ang w?312@7cO!!!!"

I can't blame her.. she has a point.. not all families here in our country can afford to buy a UPS or any stuffs to prevent appliances wreckage.

On a second thought..

maybe this is happening because the May 2010 Election is coming near. The very 1st Automated Election in our country.

Naku.. nagppractice na sila! :-s

March 25, 2010: My Manila Earthquake Experience

I was talking with my co-teammate at the office when we suddenly felt the earthquake, hmmm...around 1:30pm. I felt it was shaking for more than 2 minutes. After the earthquake, I immediately checked my family and my boyfriend if they're OK. Thank God, everyone is safe. Afterward, the guards advised all the employees to leave the building.
