Solar power is the "greenest" alternative source of energy. This technology is already widely untilized by most fossil fuel suppliers in the Middle East. These suppliers use solar power to gather and process crude coal.
But, apparently the end users of fossil fuel are not aware of this. So, end users in countries like the Philippines who are currently suffering from power interruptions, expensive cost of fossil fuels, as well diminished water supply should encourage their representatives in government to opt for solar power, rather than contemplate on alternatives that are not sensible in the 21st century environmental conditions.

OIL PRICES HIKE: TOPICAL COUNTRIES CAN BEAT IT
One sure thing pleasant about living in a tropical and underdeveloped region is our ability to beat the odds at having to cope with rising prices of oil and gas. This is indeed the beauty that most people in highly industrialized zones can no longer enjoy. Here we just open our doors and windows for the gentle wind to cool off. When it comes to the kitchen fuel, there’s plenty of wooden and coconut shell charcoal to take care of the cooking needs. Electrical lighting is only needed for few hours of the day to power some gadgets when necessary. And, of course, water can be drawn manually from deep wells. Otherwise, swimming in natural, nearby falls would be more than sufficient to meet some washing needs. “Beat it”!

VEIL AND LESSONS
As a returnee to the Islamic faith, I have not only strived to do and follow all the guidance that I found appropriate to survive in the 21st century living. The simple thing of wearing a veil and a proper clothing in front of other people have also become a usual and ordinary thing for me. I have felt comfortable in it because it means simplicity.
But, lately, I thought of enhancing myself to get to a new work. Since its summer time, i went to a parlor to get my hair cut short. Before the beautician could start cutting some edges, a house lizzard was slowly crawling down right in rim of the big mirror in front of me. I told the beautician "you have a pet here, nice". Must be looking for food, I thought. The idea of a sign also came into my mind as this poor little crawler would always make sounds right before prayer times. Nonetheless, I did not stop until my hair was nicely done.
The whole night, I was not able to catch a second of sleep. But, in the early morning, I pursued my preparation to attend to the scheduled interview and demonstration teaching. So, I took some time to freshen up and carefully put -on some beauty enhancers. I was halfway only when the lights for the whole city went off. There was no advance notice for it. Anyway, using a flashlight, I managed to get things done because I have to make it to my appointment.
After switching off everything, pulling off electric plugs and locking out doors, I went off. I arrived at the venue early, so I thought it would be best for me to take something from the school canteen. After, I would have to go to the comfort room and pee. Then, I pushed the knob to flush out what is in the bowl. Suddenly, all the waters bursted out and splashed all over my pants. Miserable! I was about to shout and cry! But then, I kept my calm and sort of just dusted myself and hope to dry my pants within few minutes ouside. I walked to the wash basin where I could wash my hands. I pushed the knob for water, but, then again the water came bursting out wetting my sleeves. What is simply happening?
Silently, I walked back to the canteen where I could dry with the fan and aircon on. By then, I felt so intimidated, but, I still tried to maintain some poise. Five more minutes to go before the set interview, I went up to see and meet the panel. Gladly, I made it through and was able to reset my demonstration for another day. I was kind of relieved that I was done with the interview. So, I went home feeling good despite interferrences.
However, when I reached home, the rice cooker was sitting there "ON for the last 5 to 6 hours" that I was out! O my God! I could not utter a word! I was stunted for a while. What do all these things mean? It was too much! I had so much! I just felt so exhausted, so I washed and went to sleep. When I woke up, I thought again of all the dissuations, warnings that I got for two consecutive days. All for experimenting. I did not wear my veil.

After all, I was just given an extension to live by Allah. In 1998 I was medically declared to have no more hope to live. I was sent home after 19 days of thorough hospital management. But, after 5 days of praying the Al Fatiha...just praying without much thinking...another pathologist revealed reaxamination results which showed my illness is curable! I was then treated and healed...In other words, I'm a product of miracle!
