June 10
Gosh! I'm so furious. Don't even ask me what happened. Just leave me. It's, it's so unbearable.
If I set my eyes on them.....oh...... . What are you still waiting for ♂️? Go away.
Arghh, I feel my blood boiling (actually not like boiling water, but y'know, the other type of boiling). Why? Why me? Go away now before I ....
Ok, so here's what happened. This stupid NEPA or PHCN hadn't restored power since (actually their new name is PHCN, But I wonder why some people still shout "up NEPA" when they bring the light, ain't it supposed to be "up PHCN"?).
I thought it was general, but something in me was twitching, so I decided to investigate ♂️.
I looked in my drawer and picked a shirt, gladly, I had one today to pick from as I had washed earlier this week. I then wore it and set out. Normally, our street shares light with the street down the road (ours is inside inside). I trekked and trekked till I reached the other street. You won't believe it! They did not have power! I was even more furious. I had come outside for nothing .
I looked at how far I had come, there was no way I was going back. After standing for like two minutes (which felt like two days), I started walking back home. I couldn't feel my legs anymore, it was getting wobbly. Something in me was telling me to sit on one of those paved sidewalks, but I decided to continue going anyway. I finally reached home and changed into my pyjamas. I lay on my bedside and groaned in pains, well, not actually groaning, but I was breathing heavily, like real heavy breathings!
Mom wasn't around as she had gone to school hours before I woke up. Gladly, she didn't leave any house chore for me. Dad was too busy pressing his phone to notice me. After some while of *schnoozing, I finally sat up, an idea had ripped through my mind.

What if, I created my own electricity? Like my own power source. I smiled and clapped my fingers, that would be nice. I would be able to charge my phone everytime I wanted. I would show NEPA or PHCN. My family would adore me and not call me lazy anymore. Who knows, they might stop me from doing any house chore, because I was providing them free electric power supply that is constant, rather than paying for a flunctuating one.
I didn't know what steps to take so I took up my phone and decided to Google search it (my phone was about 2% then).
'Easiest way to make electricity without much work.'
I typed, and a bunch of diy's popped up. I picked the first one and watched the tutorial video. It seemed easy so I jotted down the stuffs I was gonna need.
Motor.
Battery.
Cellotape.
Scissors ✂️.
Copper wire.
Now, as a science student, I had heard of copper wire before but didn't know how it looked like. This was gonna be a problem. I asked Dad and he gave me a detailed view of it. I went back to my room and brought out the stuffs needed. I didn't really understand dad's detailing so I pretty much got lots of wire. I planned on testing them to see which one worked.
Before I started, I decided to have a short nap. I needed the energy y'know. This was a big project and a lotta rest was needed. I woke up shortly after to the sound of my sis washing the plates. Arghh, so noisy. I can't even rest in peace anymore .
I looked at the items beside me and decided to start my project. I had not gone long in it when power was restored. (I'm not sure it was me, but someone was screaming, "up NEPA!" ).
I quickly plugged my phone and switched on the fan. I looked at my unfinished project (more like unstarted project). I smiled and began packing it away. Maybe I would give NEPA/PHCN another chance and not yet make my own form of electricity. I stuffed the items in a box and switched on my phone to start using it (I discovered it charges faster when I'm using it ). Today started as bad, but, like they always say, there's always a light at the end of each tunnel and my light had just shone now.

Ahoy maidens!
Uhm, does maiden signify male or female ? I'm never gonna find the right catchphrase, am I?
So, today I learned how to give second chances. I was mad at first but decided to forgive NEPA or PHCN.
So I was wondering what you do when power is restored in your area, like what do you use electricity to do anyway? Feel free to comment here, cos I really really wanna know your area of interests.
If you're not lazy (like I am), please vote and share . See you later. Chao!
