In 2009, my first time, I had a funny experience... My ever-talkative cousin was with us that day(night). Before it hit 8:30 PM, she was already there.....talking! :D So the one hour lights off went on.
COUSIN: "Oh, 30 minutes has passed."
ME: "Yes, it's been 30 minutes of your non-stop talking! HAHA.*my Tita beside us laughed* And even more than that, 'cause you were already here before 8:30!" :D
This year, I planned to do it again and I DID. Have retweeted some tweets to help promote and join the Earth Hour. Here's one from Ms. D. :
While waiting to put the lights on at 9:30, I was checking twitter (err... just on phone :D),and laughed at those stories of the ones I'm following who also joined the Earth Hour. Some were scared 'cause it's too dark, they might have seen ghosts. HAHA. I read one who bumped his head to the mirror 'coz he couldn't see it. Those were just a few. Funny but if you think beyond that, it's for a cause, they want to do their part as earth always does its part for/to us.
After an hour of lights off, I felt great because I helped save Mother Earth even just for 60 minutes.
But... I hope we all do this not just every Earth Hour, which happens only once a year. Let's do this as often as we can! This is not just for us, but for the generations to come, for the children of our children... :)
