Caroleen’s Treasures

I am back! We thought we will suffer one more night of total darkness. Glad that ASELCO was able to do the repairs quicker and so the power was back on at around 5ish.

For 32 hours of no fan, no internet, no water, no light, ……we felt we are in Mars. Cheche who is used to city life, was telling us that we live far from civilization over and over again and that it’s so lonely here. We are asking her to stay longer so I could work overtime to beat the deadline. Glad that she agreed but my worry is that it’s my sister Crislyn’s birthday tomorrow. I was thinking she might be needed there but we are talking via YM now and I hope she will agree.

We found out that having no electricity has brought something good. We have spent two dinners with Ate Beth and Kuya David in their place. We went there yesterday afternoon just to kill the time and to show Cheche around but we ended up staying for dinner (with invitation of course) . We also discussed work related matters for the newly approved projects. Then again this afternoon we went back there for a chat and you guessed it right, we were also invited for dinner so we stayed until 8pm talking about personal matters this time. If we do have electricity, we could have not gone there and bonded with them.
