    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. When I am out with friends for a drinking spree my mother always waited for me to come home even until dawn, but she never get mad she always advice that there is no good in drinking.       One day she was sick and diagno...

Three Simple Steps To Lose Weight

By: Edgardo P. Prajes Our bodies need food, but some are not good for us. Food serves fuel to our body, like carbohydrates and protein it converts into energy, but in excess, our body cannot burn them all it turns into bad cholesterol (LDL) and decreases our good cholesterol (HDL). I manage this by doing it in my own way. First , I don't choose any food whether it is meat (pork or beef), fish and vegetables but I don't over-eat and coffee is always included in my breakfast. Overeating can make our stomach increase in size the more foods we eat the more our stomach increases its size. It is very seldom for me to take morning snacks I prefer afternoon snacks. Second , Lunchtime same as my breakfast any food that is available, but sometimes I can not avoid eating extra meals because we eat in a group together with my co-workers. Lastly , I eat only fruits during dinner. At first, it is not easy to do because I felt hungry and my food is not enough, little by little I trained my s...

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 ...

My First 10k Marathon

-
Image
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.
