Black Out

Black Out

by: Edgardo P. Prajes

Today November 28, 2020, Saturday, no electricity total blackout in the whole Toledo City area from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, every activity that we are used to, suddenly stops, like washing our clothes since, the water supply was interrupted and no entertainment to appease our eyes like television shows and many other things to calm us during a brownout, only going outside looking many cars passed by. Only cellular phones are the ones we can depend on this time opening our social media accounts and send messages to our friends. Those gaming addicts on their cellular phones sustain severe punishment if they can survive up to (11) eleven-hour battery life without charging.

We are dependent on electricity, if electricity was not invented by Benjamin Franklin our world is very dark. Back in the days that we used kerosene lamp to light us during night time, and we are very happy looking at the sky when the moon is very bright during the full moon,  but today we are very blessed one switch click the light illuminates our every home and by turning the faucet the water flows, but during a brownout, it affects our daily activities, since no well to pitch some water all washing activity stops. We will wait until the power resume. No electricity means no electric fan to cool down, I am planning to visit the mall nearby to breathe some cold air and window shopping looking to buy something for Christmas.

My First 10k Marathon

I  wake up early in the morning excited for my first marathon. Before that, I have to travel 1 hr and 22 min (46.2 km) from Toledo City, which is my hometown to reach Cebu City and stayed a friend for a night and their house is only a walk away from  Abellana Cebu City Sports Center , the venue of the Marathon. When I heard the starting gun which signals the start of the race, I began to run slowly but surely to reach the finished line... and finally, I reach the finished line to accomplish my first 10k marathon. Rank number 61 with personal time 00:59:59 but that was six years ago. My next aim to run a 21k but never realized, maybe someday I can do it.... and maybe next full marathon 42k . The good shoes to recommend is the  Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 2.
