Mga Kuwento Ni Lola ( Grandma's Tales )
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?
I want to know your thoughts.
Good evening..

Oil pastel on paper by me.
