    Remembering my late mother this Mother's Day was very heart warming, since she's gone for a long time but still I was longing for her because our bond since birth was undeniable, she was always there at my side and nurtured me until I grow into an adult. My mother is very strict and disciplinarian.     When  i finished my college while working as a janitor of Toledo National Vocational School, my mother was always there at my side and attended my college graduation without my father because he passed away when i was 19 years old. I became a breadwinner of the family and support my brother and sister when my sister finished her college that's the time I feel I became free and learned some vices like gambling and drinking.

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.
