I'm Electric Shocked!

I got my MERALCO bill just last week and got the surprise of my life (well, at least for my MERALCO bill, hehehe) when the bottom figure showed P1,312.15.  Woooa! My last month's electric consumption cost me a measly amount of P189 only!  The increase is almost seven times my last month's billed amount.

There must be a mistake! Although at the back of my mind, I already knew that MERALCO previously announced that the electricity rates will soar high this summer.

An officemate of mine also complained of a sudden increase in her MERALCO bill. Somebody also mentioned that he heard someone expressing his dismay on his MERALCO bill over the radio.

Upon learning this, I heaved a sigh of relief.  At least, we share the same dilemma.

Well, come to think of it.  My kilowatt/hour consumption doubled this month.  This is mainly attributed to the fact that I stayed home during the holidays (maundy thursday to easter sunday and bataan day).  Further, I spent most of my time just watching a marathon of james bond dvd movies while keeping myself cool.  Meaning, the airconditioner was always turned on.

Well, who could blame me?  With the scorching heat and unbelievable high temperature we have right now, who could not resist the temptation of turning on the aircon?

But then, if I want to save on costs, I should think of better ways to cut my power consumption.

What about an air cooler? Hmm... not a bad idea.  So, how about you?  If you're not yet convinced, maybe you should read a article for you to know why an air cooler is better.  Check this site http://www.fewsimplethoughts.com/2010/03/beating-summer-heat.html or click this link. :)
