We just can’t seem to get enough of these power outages here on Boracay these days. This one was in the daytime just as the heat was ramping up. Mind you, I only have Air conditioning inside of a few bed-rooms so the bathrooms and everything else are not cooled. During this brown out, it was so hot that most of the water evaporated from two separate toilets in the house. I wasn’t feeling so good and spent the day sweating on top of towels on the bed but managed to venture out into the house a few times….man, it is a scorcher here! A few minutes is one thing, but this one was all morning into the noontime.
Hot! Steamy! Drains every last drop of energy from me. It should be a crime to advertise travel deals during this time of season.
It floors me that the Philippines cannot get its act together and provide the bare minimum power requirements for its most famous beach resort island … all this power consumption was known well in advance from all the construction going on here. Takes at least a year to build a resort.
This same brown out kicked the refrigerator into defrost, (which it needed anyway). I went into the kitchen tonight and saw the towel under my aircon unit but traced the flow under the table and over to the fridge, which had the drip tub in the back overflowing. Hmmm….the toilets evaporate but the water spread out over a hot tile floor doesn’t. Go figure.
