We had electricity just a few minutes ago. ❤️ My corp comm friends made it possible. One of them said they kept on bugging the operations network guys to expedite the repair of whatever. She said they even escalated it to one of the officials sitting on the panel infront of us during the presscon yesterday…

The local operations team must have had a scolding because they had been calling me and updating me about the progress of the repairs. They had been asking me every now and then if we already have power. One of the guys said they will not leave the site until our power is restored. They told me they are replacing one busted transformer at the university gate but I told them the transformer near our compound needs replacing, too, as it keeps on exploding due to overcapacity during school days.

😭 I love my corp comm friends.

I am now doing the first batch of laundry. All our laundry won’t fit in our clothesline downstairs so I have to do the washing in batches.

I was creeped out by this statue that an unknown neighbor had been keeping in their yard. Because the trees were either uprooted or became bald, I can now see the formerly obscured neighbor. And their creepy statue.

So I’ve been doing the laundry and hanging them for the past 3-4 hrs because they’re all beddings. I’ve been going up and down the stairs in the middle of a very windy night. I am thankful that I don’t live an a condo or renting an apartment that doesn’t have an in-unit provision for a washing machine hook-up. When I was looking for an apartment to rent, my non-negotiables were a laundry area and a parking space. With those requirements, it’s no wonder I ended up in an old two-storey apartment because that kind of housing ticks the two boxes.

I’m glad that I’m not in New York City and struggling with transporting laundry from a laundromat to a walk-up apartment, like this couple:

If I live in such situation, my laundry will never get done. 😬
