Who turned off the main switch???
Before we left Singapore for Manila, I was really conscious about not leaving anything plugged on except for the refrigerator and leaving a light on in our dining area. I didn’t want our house to look deserted on Christmas and New Year’s Day.
But when Jorey got back, he went home and the place was completely dark. The main power switch was turned off. We had a couple of lamb chops and chicken breast in the freezer and when Jorey checked on it, the freezer was full of maggots. Disgusting!!!
It’s so unsettling because I can’t figure out how the main switch would turn off. Even if there was a power trip, I don’t think the main switch should turn off.
Hmm… mysterious.
Am I missing something here?
Anyways, a few lessons/reminders from this experience:
1. Cook your meats well done. Good thing I always do. Imagine, our meat was in the freezer the whole time and maggots still got there. So the maggots must’ve come with the meat.
2. Wash everything before you cook or eat.
3. Use separate chopping boards for the raw meats, the vegetables, and the cooked meat.

yuck sure ka may maggots sa meat niyo? kadiri naman nun. sayang di nakunan ni jorey ng picture.
sure kang main switch yung nag-off? yun ba yung sa circuit breaker mismo? pag-nagtrip yung power mag-ooff yung sa circuit breaker pero di lahat. ganun nangyari sa aircon namin eh.
baka power lang ng ref namatay? or baka may feature ang ref na pag di nabuksan ng 1 week mag-ooff sya ang magbubukas mag-isa para papasukin ang mga uod para di masayang yung food?

Hindi circuit breaker ang patay eh, yung main switch.
Yung maggots, free siguro yun when you buy the meat… (but wait there’s more …if you buy now you get free flies too!)
Sana nga na CSI ko eh. Titingnan ko kung anong stage na sa life cycle yung maggots, tapos ca calculate ko kung gano katagal bago ma-defrost yung meat kung namatay ang freezer, para malalaman ko kung kelan namatay yung kuryente. (Nerd!)
Pero looking at the bright side at least hindi pa naging langaw lahat ng maggots na yun kundi pagbukas ni jor biglang sasalubungin sya ng swarm of flies. Yaak!
