Of brown outs, strong winds and rains...

I woke up this morning to a brownout here in Butuan City. Although brown outs are a common thing here, it was the first time for me to experience one so early in the morning. When I got to the office, I learned that strong winds toppled some electric poles, thus rendering some parts of the city without any electricity. And all the while I was feeling kinda lucky to be relocated to Butuan and escaped the wrath of Milenyo and power outages and no water, etc...

No way Jose! =(

Towards late afternoon, the wind grew even stronger, you can actually hear it blow all over, reminds me of the sound effects of the movie "Twister". But this one's for real! Oh, oh! Then the rains came and everything's drenched! When I got out of our office building to go home, the security guards told me that the wind blew off the glass panels, lucky no one got hurt.

Well, so much for Nature's fury...

Power's back on now and on a lighter note! =)


I was able to assemble the new flip up sights for my airsoft gun:

Full view, notice I removed the red dot sight:
