did you turn off your lights?

Last night was Earth Hour. We were supposed to turn off our lights for 1 hour at 8:30 to 9:30 PM. This was Mother Earth's cry for her sad little inconsiderate children to conserve energy.
.
Well, did you?
.
Last night we turned our lights off. We listened to Bombo Radyo for updates regarding this Earth Hour. The reports reflected the fact that some people are oblivious to this campaign. Is this another outcome of a poor, decaying system we have?! Jeez! Even our street lights were on! I thought this is a goverment campaign! They can order a street lights-off hour! That way, people can rembember its Earth Hour (if they have known in the first place). I thought we were the only house in our block with dormant electricity that 60 minutes of supposed to be world enery saving.
.
I wonder how's the other side of the world doing. If the Philippines held the record of most people compliant to Earth Hour (considering what I saw last night), how poorly did the others do? People! Wake up! We can't deny that we are not doing much to our environment. What's an hour of darkness? (sigh..) If we continue to be indifferent, then we are just preparing the worst future for our kids. Sounds too blah and eekish but it's inevitable. Nevertheless, I feel proud that we participated in Earth Hour. We were one of the Filipinos who helped set that record..hehe!
.
OK.. Kadamo naman sa akon wakal, kagamay sang topic..hehe! Anyway, off to the funny part. You know frecklesnoots, when it's dark, you only see things on your mind. And of course, what's on my mind are things that frequent me for months now..The DH things..little by little, it has become a world now..hehe! It's good that its dark, since no one can see my random smiles! And I don't even have to cover my mouth this time! haha!
.
Another thing was, when we were in the terrace, we saw someone pee-ing at a car across the street. I told shoti to go "Psst!" the guy. And since I was on headphones listening to my music, I didn't know he "Psst!" the guy! haha! I wondered why he looked on our direction while Shoti ducked down! Lucky enough, They guy did not completely turned his head or else, he'll see me there standing, thinking that I was the one who "Psst!" him while I was singing along to Barry Manilow's Somewhere Down the Road! Hay katunto nga bata! (PS: What's sitsit in english?! haha!)
.
That's it for now...hehe!
.
Love and Bliss frecklesnoots!
