From 2,500, thats an 80% reduction.

Wow!

At first I though that Meralco gave me a rebate for the infuriating price hike they had last June. But no, my electricity usage was just really really low.

I didn’t use the aircon and the fridge the whole month. After purchasing an aircon timer to minimize my usage, but still my electricity was high, I thought it was time that I just shut it off. I also unplug the ref every night, then replug it in the morning. When my food started smelling bad, and the ice kept melting and produced puddles inside, I thought it was time to just shut it off, stop storing and cooking my food and just eat out. There were however an addition of 2 computers, one is a desktop with a gigantic LCD, the other is a laptop. I guess those things didn’t make much of a dent compared to the aircon and the ref.

Of course I ought to have a functioning fridge soon for my food. At the rate I’m eating out, I’ll get fatter and fatter and I just feel so unhealthy with all the pork and MSG going down my system. I need to cook my own daily grub.

Next year, I hope to move to a bare apartment so I can buy new appliances. The ones in my current apartment are old and run-down. Thus they eat up unnecessarily large amounts of electricity but their output is less optimal.

Thanks to dad for “lending” me his credit card. Hahaha. Thanks to Ron for seeking out this laptop and helping me get a great deal.

With the nVidia 7000m video card (shared memory), this baby can play Warcraft III at all high video settings with no problem at all.
