I saw this rainbow the other afternoon. It is so perfect and so I felt that there's hope - that soon electricity will be restored (calling on DECORP!) in our place. Yes, it's been 12 days since the storm. Though we have our genset to give us light at night and provide us with cooler ( and bearable) environment, life still is not what it used to be.
We have given up on our refrigerator. Since we cannot stock any perishable thing on it and only drinking water is what's left inside, we decided to turn it off temporarily. That is until electricity is restored. The only problem is that we need to go to the market to buy anything to cook. And we don't find fresh items in the market everyday. We have resorted to canned goods for several days now but the kids are clamoring for something more delicious. I think that means something fresh like chicken and fish.

Anyway, there's nothing we can do but to wait. I just hope that it will not last a month. That would be too much to bear.
