Electric bill

5 Replies

I’m sure many of you felt infuriated by your current electric bill. Who wouldn’t be? People affected by the sudden increase are discussing about it in FB, even forming a group to criticize Meralco for their enormous charges. I’m thinking of joining them after receiving our bill the other day. We were charged an additional P1, 200 this month. So instead of paying only the regular P2, 400 monthly bill, I will be paying a total of P3, 614.60. What is their basis for charging us that much? We don’t own an AC and we already refrain from using air pot, rice cooker, and flat iron to minimize power consumption yet our bill swell to more than P3K. The  appliance that has been working overtime  is our two stand fan and a desk fan. I wish the Meralco people just committed an error in using their receipt printer to charge their paying customers and then issue a refund later.

*** I re-use plastic or bottle containers at home. This way my household don’t add up to the burden of garbage management in my city; I turn off the lights when they are not in use; most of the light bulbs that we use at home are energy savers; except for important assignments, we don’t allow kids to stay as long as they want in front of the computer.

I’m now sharing this tag to all responsible inhabitants of Mother Earth, that means YOU! Come on grab the tag now and do your share. Show that you care. 🙂

Facelift

4 Replies

For a long while, hubby and I have been planning to do a little renovation at home. We are supposed to start painting the chipped paints on our bedroom wall. The chipped paint makes the wall look dirty. After the prospect of repainting, we will be moving out old stuff to organize and maximize the space. Hubby is more skillful when it comes to arranging furniture so I will leave it up to him. I’m thinking of placing a study corner for my kids. This will entail buying pieces of office furniture like table, chairs and cabinet. The study table should not be too wide or narrow to hold my kids’ things. Finally, our dream to give our house a facelift will be realized. However, we have to delay it a little because we need to prioritize the kids’ tuition. Their school is already accepting enrollees this month.
