96 minutes of darkness.

I was having dinner with my mom at home, and suddenly the lights went off.
Instantly I went: "Oh no... How am I suppose to email my part of assignment now?!"
I had not much worries, as I had options for internet accesses around the town.

I was a little delighted as the electricity died in the housing area that I live it, for God knows what weird reason I have.
I joked with my mom how romantic it was to have a candle lit dinner; I even sang songs (which I hadn't done for quite some time) washing the dishes, laughing to myself as I sang in various weirdo ways and teasing my mom while she was standing beside me doing her chores.

I took the garbage out, and didn't forget to look up.
The sky wasn't completely dark yet filled with clouds, and the stars were so clear in sight.
It was serene, and instantly enlightened me a reason to live happily for a short while.

Then I took bath with a bright torch inside the bathroom, with cold water. It was almost a perfect fit for a warm night, as I covered myself with some baby powder.

I came back downstairs with my lappie, ready to work as I searching for the perfect and cool place to sit and work. I took my mom's suggestion to sit beside the window, at the back of my house.

Having all the darkness enveloped around, with some breeze from the window, and the gentle lit of my laptop's screen - it was a different kind of paradise.

Quiet.
Contented.
Calming.
Serene.
Peaceful.

It was a perfect fit, too, for some sentimental moments with my piano.
Yet, I didn't had the chance to do it as the lights came in before I got my work done.

Even so, I appreciate the experience I had tonight.
