Rotating Brownout
Wednesday, March 03, 2010
Well looks like Meralco has been losing grip of the situation. There are places in Metro Manila now that has no power. Even the powerful TRINOMA Mall in Quezon City has some of the stores lose air conditioning and people are staying away from those areas. I am not surprised because this problem has been discussed in past administrations and we need a big supply to at least get us through the next decade. They are talking about Atomic Energy and I am quite okay with it as long as we don't enrich plutonium and make our own bombs. That would be really funny if it happened. Like if the IAEA suddenly went to our country and checked if we made the ones similar in North Korea. I wonder if that is feasible. I think Marcos in his time tried to do that. I am not surprised some of our scientists are working for NASA now. =)
The Rotating brownout is being done so we can at least have the electricity distributed throughout the metro. I hope they do this in the afternoon when most of the people are at work and not when everyone is resting at night. I would not want to see my folks suffer heat while sleeping, not even in the afternoon. They need airconditioning or maybe a measely fan to survive throughout this day. Heat stroke is very usual in our climate so I am trying to avoid that. I would not want to see any of my loved ones suffering through the same. I'll just keep busy tweeting here in the meantime. Thank the heavens I have wifi even at home. Although I would wonder if they have power outages in my area, its not being mentioned in the news so I am very lucky. =)

Lights Modified
I just told you a couple entries ago that I was planning to purchase an extra car. I have the budget now so I am carefully choosing between these two.
This is the TOYOTA PRIUS and the HONDA. They are the best HYBRID cars in the market. With this selling like hotcakes in the US and Europe I would like to take in consideration the advantages of having an environmental friendly car. I am totally going green. I do have to make some certain modifications with head and tail lights since I prefer a brighter kind like the ones that can be bought at on line stores like Hid. I would really love to see myself driving across the highways of Manila with a certain extra BLING and accessories. I also want gasoline efficient cars that would get me better mileage even if it is switching back and forth to electric motors. The weird thing though that I would probably feel after driving this is the quiet motor. My brother who has one told me that you would feel the car suddenly shuts down even if you are still moving. With the engine's sound off like that you would get nervous because you still are driving the same car. I better get some extra blinkers through CARID so I won't hit anybody that would not feel me passing by. Have you seen kits that slide as cool bluish white palette as this one?!
That is what I plan to get when the actual car arrives in my garage. I already have built storage for the stuff that was left there for years so it is clear for one more. The reason I want to get this particular light color is because I could not see that much in white or yellow light. Maybe this is a medical condition I have not really gotten checked out but this just happens at night and it is still manageable. Why would I settle for the stock one when I could get the better XENON HID Lights instead?! Isn't that right?!

No Offense Meant!
I hate it when people take offense in a joke I crack more so when EVERYBODY knows it is a joke. There are people that would get offended I know but to go out and get your self alienated just because of that is outrageous! Sometimes I don't want to think they are low IQ'd but if you think about it their comprehension dictates that they are. I hope they won't manage to get out of school because most probably they won't get it when they are already working. I won't hire someone like that. Or know one for that matter. I already made an effort; and I am not the mood to go with forsaken creatures like that oh have mercy! LOL OK rants over.
What's with ex's today?!... I think each one of them just suddenly appeared! Weird I know! I think that's because my horoscope readings were weirder that morning. Is this whole day a BIG JOKE?! Hahah... I just hope its not when I get to the office. If that suddenly becomes weird that would be not good... I just hope it stays sane in that part of the world.
Boots Perhaps?!
Tuesday, March 02, 2010
I am a little fashion forward than some of my friends and believe me in this tropical climate I also try and wear something to look good every once in a while. I think that I always am the life of the party; and every time there is one I make sure that people still have their head turn on me. Well at least that what I think. Modesty aside I am not that bad looking... and I am tall too. I went to a local district where people my age usually go to get a better deal for shoes. Since I was in the mood two days ago, I tried to look for boots. I specifically wanted a white pair so it could match the coat and pants I got with the same color. Imagine everyone would probably wear their night time based and inspired outfits while I wear something white this coming weekend. I am sure to make people take a second look. However, it was a little disappointing to know that this bargain lot all had their boots priced around 5 thousand pesos. That is around $150 which would surely burn a hole in my pocket and I even planned to wear it just for that night. I went home disappointed but still had my mind to think of finding the perfect one on line. There was a site where I found a boot barn coupon and got it to take out from 10 - 60% off the original price. Talk about a good deal! I was in for more!It looks like more of these from places like price pickle can get you free delivery too. I want one now but since it looks like the better option I will probably get one from on line stores like these instead. Someone make me a cowboy for just one night! Good thing they have stores like that on line!
