Last night saw record high temperatures in many parts of Mindanao.

So much so that the demand for electricity outstripped the supply capability.

Result: Mindano blackout. This lasted pretty much all the night for a 7 hour stint of horrible hot, humid night.

So, no choice but to join everyone else and make a party outside in the road. There was food, music and dancing.
I managed to quaff the last 2 ice cold SM's and then just slept there on the mat in the road.
Plenty of firsts for me last night. Despite being an uncomfortable night with no power at all and very little water for a cooling shower we all had a wonderful nice 'community' time together and I must say it was highly enjoyable.

The power came back on around 8am and promptly went off again around 8:30 am
Just as we were getting ready for a day at the mall to cool down it came back on.
The water returned to full pressure about 3 hours later.

It's more fun in the Philippines for impromptu parties
