Dinner was merely done when the lights go off. It’s time for the power cut of the day. I consider going back to studying. With the dark, it’ll be pointless. Instead, I let myself stroll to my favorite spot. The balcony. The place I like the most yet couldn’t visit in a while. I expect total darkness without electricity, but ...
“To acquire literacy is more than to psychologically and mechanically dominate reading and writing techniques. It is to dominate those techniques in terms of consciousness; to understand what one reads and to write what one understands: it is to communicate graphically.

Most researchers agree that ...
Ocean waves dressed in green, blue and white Every time they meet the white sand beneath my feet the path I took disappears behind me. The smell of the ocean brings forth the memories The memories of childhood and the reminders of Jimmy The time we spend running about and playing the music of the waves seems the same as ...
