Once upon a time, when there was no Internet yet... in fact there was no TV.... not even a radio yet... When evening comes, Grandma would gather the kids around her rattan rocking chair and she would tell them scary tales...
Kids today perhaps can't even imagine this scene.... No smartphone, no Internet. There's not even a transistor radio yet Yes, this is the scene before electronics entered the Philippines.
Granny... Not the granny you know that chases after kids in that mobile game, gathers the grandchildren around her rocking chair. She does scare the children... but not by chasing them with a stick... but with her scary stories!
I myself did not experience this. We did not grow up with our grandparents. We just listened to the old transistor radio. But scenes similar to this image were portrayed in several old movies. And they were in black and white...
Hmm... maybe you can ask your parents if they have experienced this.. or your grandparents...
This culture has long been erased though... because of technology...
If given a chance though... would you like to have a moment like this with your grandmother?
The one who can teach, shall teach ....but the one who can listen, shall listen, add improvement for every idea and teach others further ....so he become itsself a teacher. Circle closed.
Humans are on the rise, The tech is just a lesson and tool for us. Use it wisely. This shall remain so like all other tools we have had until now.
Grandmother and grandfather still gave us the first lessons, as well as mother and father . So its up on you to filter, good or bad, working and not....to improve....and teach further. Tech is another way ....not more.
We cant eat just ....tech....and survive tomorrow.We cant breathe ... just tech....and survive 1 minute. I hope people get the simplicity which connects us all and is the source of our bodys life , here....now.
Good evening! "Mga Kuwento Ni Lola" recalls a time of storytelling before electronics took over. It's a nostalgic tradition many would love to experience with their grandparents. 🌙
