Hi there, cuties!

‎There was this morning that I woke up early.

‎And you know what I witnessed?

‎It was my favorite scene in the morning — a cool and refreshing fog. 😻

It was lingering in the mountains, instantly becoming a breathtaking view.

‎While appreciating that scene, I heard a familiar sound.

‎It was the "potpot" from kuya vendor!

‎He's already nearby selling our favorite sapin-sapin.

‎Immediately, I reached for my wallet, quickly approached him, and bought our usual order — 40 pesos of delicious ube halaya and kutsinta. 😋

After that, I get back to the fog, the mountains, and enjoy my favorite breakfast to start my day.

‎Suddenly, as I glanced at the clock, I realized that the scheduled brownout was about to begin.

‎It was 6:30 am and the power would be out until 6:30 pm.

‎12 long hours without WIFI, electricity, or even an electric fan to keep us cool! 😩

‎So knowing that staying indoors would be challenging without power, we decided to make the most of the situation.

‎Since my hubby couldn't work online during the blackout, we both thought of a fun way to pass the time.

‎So without hesitation, I created my shopping list, and we headed out to the grocery store.

‎This wasn't part of our usual schedule but this was the best offer and a pleasant distraction from the power outage.

‎As we made our way through the mall, we noticed that many people around us were doing the same — finding ways to pass the time outside their homes since staying indoors wasn't an option that day.

‎Families, friends, and even solo visitors.

‎At the grocery store, I picked up the essentials we needed, paid at the counter, and you know where we headed next?

If you're a follower of my blogs or someone who loves swinging by for updates, you've probably guessed it already...

‎Yes, it's on the Fun Nation! ☺️

Ryzen was with us, so as we entered he eagerly clicked on the gaming machines.

He roamed around excitedly and watched others play.

‎Again, people are gathering here.

‎Making the most of their time, enjoying themselves, rather than staying home without electricity.

‎After some time there, we headed back home.

‎And while sitting together, my hubby and I both started to think again about what could be next.

‎Should we do some outdoor strolls or try a new recipe?

‎Watch out for my next blogs...

‎Until our next adventures...

‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
