We were hit by typhoon Ursula on Christmas day. (Read: Dark Christmas).
Because of the typhoon, the whole province lost its power supply. The electric company tried to work as fast as they can to restore power.
But fallen electric posts, trees, and other debris hamper their work. At the moment, they have restored power to some parts of the city. Unfortunately, up to now, we still don’t have power.
I don’t want to use candles of any gas-fueled lamps as light overnight. The small solar-charged lamp that I bought recently goes dim after a few hours.
For this Christmas, we bought a dancing Ironman toy for our two-year-old son. Like Ironman it’s chest and palms light up. One thing I discovered is, it has a mode that lights up the chest and hands only. It consumes less power than on it’s dancing mode.
So for the third night, Ironman serves as our night light.
So, thank you, Ironman, for lighting up our dark Christmas.

Yes

Yes, it is a cute toy.
Good creative use of the Ironman toy! Sorry again about the Typhoon…
Things are almost back to normal now Doc. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about my house… it badly needs major repairs.
i saw your pictures. Typhoons (hurricanes as we call them on the Atlantic side) are massive devastation.
the good thing is you were all safe!
Yes, we are all safe Doc.
The country is hit by maybe a hundred typhoons and weaker storms… But every a few years, a category 4 or 5 would hit us.
In 2012, our place was hit by a category 5 (Yolanda).
we (where I live) get the edges of hurricanes. We are in the outside edge normally so we get 50 or 60 mph (80-100 kph) winds. it can be really scary!
That is wonderful a toy that can be used for practical purposes too
Well, Ironman IS a superhero. hehehe.
Good that toy came to your rescue. Hope all is normal now.
We have power since last night already. But we still use Ironman as a nightlight. heheh
I hope you are safe and the power gets back soon!
Thanks, Ellie. The power is back as of last night already. People from the electric company continued to work late last night.
So glad the little things are helping you survive this horrible time for you and your family.
Thanks, Carol. We got to stay positive in life, no matter what and make use of whatever we have…
Besides, we have survived a much worse typhoon a few years ago.
