power shortage

by the time i left home we still have it, but by the time i arrived at the office, the door wouldn't open, no ac, no mac, no telephone...

good morning bahrain, we have an unannounced power shortage... in the middle of summer...

i wouldn't mind a power shortage, or a brown-out, tawag namin pag walang kuryente sa pilipinas, because even if its dark at night, there are loads of people on the streets, talking, playing in the moonlight... but here, in the middle of the arabian deserts! i would understand it but cant they please do that in winter??? its so hot outside, and there's no difference inside.

so what we did, we just chatted about food, because kuya jun is going to the philippines in september so the discussion is about the yummiest food on the streets, the restaurants, chicharon, isaw, jollibee... (sigh) i wish i could have a vacation...

then around 11 they told me to take pictures of possible draw locations around Bahrain, and man, was i happy to feel the ac of the car....

when i got back we ate icecreams while they smoked at the back of the office, then i took some photos of my bored officemates to make time pass...


ate gemma and ate tina ( i ate her biscuits, thank you)

naks

literally, it's sleeping on the job, hehe! kuya jun snoring (haha! joke lang)

they let us go home about 15 minutes to 12, and by the time i arrived at our doorstep, i went straight to the bathroom to take my second bath. but it was so hot i wasn't even out of the bathroom i was perspiring again! coke was the absolute answer... with some ice left in the fridge, bambi and me sat near the windows and waited for the sun to go down.

his boss called and cancelled his duty (lucky guy!) so by 4:30 we went to the office to check if some staff went, but it was still empty, what will you do in the office if there's no power anyway,


bambi with hamdy (our company driver)

he's gotten so fair comparing at the time he came here, now he's fairer than me!

so we called kuya dom and we went to the breakwater park near our place..

the sunset is just so amazing, and the water is so clear... bambi and kuya dom went 2 look for little crabs, and played with a little girl until it was dark enough... no wonder he doesn't gainwight, he's so makulit!

and our luck...
we were discussing about the problems of sleeping without ac, and we were near my building when.. there, in the middle of the street, the lights began to shine, hehe...

so let the blogging begin!
