Growing up like technology is being part of everyday life is a gift I think. I forgot that I was born and then learned about life from nothingness. I mean no technology before that everything that surrounded me was so dark. I'm not saying it's a bad or pathetic way of life for the generation I was born in. In fact, at that time I could say it was one of the best experiences in life to experience. That time everyone thought nothing but to socialize with the locals or neighbors. They have nothing to do like a job in the offices or maybe most of the villagers only, not all.

Upon growing when the world changes so quickly I forgot the kind of life how I used to be. I'm too attached to this kind of life now and I'm loving it since today's world offers so much. Not just entertainment but also knowledge to learn more. It's amazing how the growth of the world has become like this but I thought about it's all over the world. My thoughts changed when I arrived in this village far from my place.

There are motorcycles, electricity, gadgets and something that I could tell the technology didn't leave them behind. It's just that the way of the lifestyles here was the same in our place 20 years ago. The woman lifted gallons of water from a spring. There are people who don't have their own faucet which provides water and will just get it from the spring. They said it's clean according to the people here. I tasted it and it's better compared to mineral water where it has a lot of process before it can be drinkable.

I must say it's so boring having this kind of life but it's kind of refreshing. Killing time until it got dark and I finally had an internet connection but a little bit far from the place where I'm staying. When I arrived there I saw teenagers desperate to have a signal for internet connection. We went to the top of the hills just to get the connection. Even so, it's still laggy that it's hard to play videos and even upload photos where I can write my own blog. It's expected but I never thought it could be this hard despite the location I was in.

You know teenagers, they love to play online games. They were annoyed by the internet connection so some of them climbed to the manga fruit as you can see in the first image. They thought they could have a good reception from the signal over there. Indeed it worked but I could still hear them irritated since the connection was on and off. I was just laughing even though I wasn't used to it.

I've been spending for almost 3 days now and I could tell "it's not that bad." Our place is still a province but the city is next to it and that's one of the reasons teenagers, no not just teenagers, even adults and children enjoy the help of technology. I mean gadgets, like television, mobile phone, computers and many more. While in this place you can enjoy those gadgets less because of the connection but still, it's fine. You can spend most of your time with real people, not just virtually.

I experienced taking a bath outside from a spring not far from the house. There were people fetching water while there were people washing clothes. It's like the old days in our place, we used to have this kind of environment 20 years ago. It's nostalgic as I remember how we were before. Thanks to them, the happy memories I had in our place a long time ago are appearing.

I enjoyed watching it and that motivated me to write this one. The feeling of being here while surrounded with this kind of environment and people. I wanted them to understand that living in the province is not that bad or boring. It's fun because you could spend the whole day chit chatting with friends, neighbors or just the villagers. Life is hard, yes but there's no way you'll empty your stomach for a whole longer day. Neighbors or friends can help you with small things. I guarantee that when you're "in the province."
