I and all the other people living in Cebu have suffered through a lot of brownouts over the last 18 months. The Cebu Provincial Government is in the early planning stages to expand power generation. Governor Gwendolyn Garcia says that Cebu has enough electrical generating capacity until 2016. Cebu province has a total electrical generating capacity of 610 megawatts at this time. The governer says it will take three to five years to build a new plant and she would like to have it online by 2015.
Lately there have been way too many outages in the Philippines, no cokes, no smokes, no freaking electricity way too much of the time.
I’ve not been online today as we had storm with typhoon force winds blow in from no where this morning. It woke me up. I was dreaming about a bad storm, then I had a dream our lights went out and then i realized it wasn’t a dream, only in my dream, I was young teen in the USA. Funny how things get distorted in our minds when it is only half awake.
Jessie’s reasoning seemed sound and we both thought they would brown out Bogo City last Sunday. They didn’t but they were right on time today. I guess they are going to do it once per month but trying to figure out which month doesn’t seem to have a pattern. Tomorrow Jessie is going to call and ask how we can find out when they will turn the power off in Bogo City.
So if Jessie’s theory holds out, they will brown out the third Sunday next month. We need to find out how to know when this is going to happen so we can be prepared.
Today was a bit of a bummer. Nothing major just a power outage when I had no cash in my pocket. Our power went out around 6am and stayed out until about 4pm.
Being hot was the worst of it. I tried to tough it out but finally I took a shower just to cool off and then went to Jollibee. Jollibee was running on generator and was cooler. But we had only 150 peso so our choices were limited. Jessie got some kind of ice cream/drink. I guess a small sundae. I had three cokes and read the paper. We stayed there about two hours and finally the lights came back on. it was hard to be so close to others eating chicken and french fries when I could only sit and drink my coke.
