earth hour in spirit

i was so excited to take part in the earth hour. i was planning to have chocolate ice cream in the sala with the housemates during the one-hour-lights-off session. i was imagining we'll tell crazy stories and laugh out loud. this is something good that we could do for mother earth, i thought.

it didn't push through. come 6pm, we went to hear the anticipated mass and then have dinner at nihon mura after the mass. we didn't make it home at 8:30. too bad. to take part somehow, i shut down my laptop and switched off all lights and electricity plugs in the room. i know the housemates will put out all lights at 8:30 since they're here.

we were having dinner when the earth hour struck. the mall didn't participate. too bad. it could have been a unique moment to have all lights off everywhere. i heard the sydney opera house in australia shut all lights during their earth hour earlier today.

oh well. does that count? earth hour in spirit? hehe. that's my vote.
