Groping in the Dark

         Most people are scared or even hate the dark. Aside from the creepy feeling it brings, we cannot see things and cannot be able to accomplish tasks. Lucky for us now, we are blessed with the wonders of electricity. Through it, everything is faster, easier and more convenient. However, during times when voltage is not available, we should learn how to be independent without it.

We are already experiencing power shortage, lives and enjoy every moment – with or without electricity.  and solar energy is advised. No matter what, we should learn how to keep going with our
