the earth hour

Ya, it was so last week, and i participated. Well, you might say So? I wouldn't have answered 'so am proud of it'. I guess it's really not a big deal, not to me, but it's the least we could do, isn't it? It wasn't hard for me, or 1 hour is just too easy.

Then i went back to hometown last Friday, for Qingming festival. On Friday night, after we had dinner, the power supply was disconnected. It started at 9, we thought it would recover in 2-3 hours, but it didn't, the electricity was back on the next day. Then when i thought back, the earth hour wasn't anything strange to me, it used to happen so often to me. When i was young, having electricity cut off is just so normal, it happens. My siblings and I even had our own torch, when the storm comes, (ya, we knew the power would stopped every after h
eavy rain storm.) we wouldn't panic when the lights off, we knew where to get our torch. We would light it up and get somewhere, mostly our bed to hide up to read, to listen to walkman, or to play with our toys. Sometimes, we even felt happy because then we could also play with candles. Only when it happened on hot days, we suffered more, because it was so hot that we could not get to bed at night. It was quite some time ago, i don't even remember when was the last i met that since i moved to the city, now only i know it still happens. Maybe it just can't be helped, if we still live in that small town...

I was at home at the earth hour.

my phone camera is bad.
