Our electricity was disconnected yesterday afternoon at around 3pm. I was currently online but was cooking turkey bacon for late lunch. I felt so frustrated because these kind of things happen to me when mom is away. I don’t even know why, but i cried, i cried like someone i loved died. I cried like the love of my life just left me for another woman. I felt so frustrated.
Our electricity was cut because we weren’t able to pay the bill on time. Not that it was intentional, it’s just that we are currently experiencing financial crisis. Not that we’re broke. When mom has the money, we would forget to pay. We both have memory gaps. 
I was supposed to pay Tuesday but the money we were expecting didn’t came so i decided to postpone it. The thing is, i didn’t know that the due for disconnection was Wednesday. Since i put off the payment, they cut the electricity. Since i was so frustrated, i went to my room and locked myself there. Opened the windows and read a book. Since i have plans early the next day, i decided to sleep early.
I fell asleep right away because of the crying. I woke up an hour later to find a text from my mom to get money from our checking account (which is slowly decreasing) and pay the bill. Which i did before the office closed. I told the girl to connect our electrity right away. I waited all night but it didn’t, so i was hoping the next day.
I was mad at MERALCO and the government. Maybe we didn’t pay for a month or two, they are so strict in implementing disconnections but they are not strict with “jumpers”. Those squatters who use “jumper” for electricity powers their home for free and they get away with it. My point is, if they’re going to be strict in implementing their rules, they should have those people who use “jumpers” captured and put to jail. It is unfair to paying consumers.
MERALCO sucks.
I’m just happy that we got our electricity back. I’ll save money to help mom pay for our bills.
