Hello hivans, I'm so glad to be here today. Things have been hard in my neighborhood. My area is generally known for bad electricity in my country. It's has been really hard on me because I have been unable to charge and press my clothes. I had to buy power bank to keep myself in this community. Ironing is actually an important part for me also because I can't go to church with wrinkled clothes so I thought of what to do and then I remembered the local style of ironing I was taught by my mother. Using charcoal iron is actually an alternative for me so I had to go back to learning how to use it because it takes patience to use it due to its hotness that burns clothes. Only those who are used to it can use it because they are aware of what to do when it's hot. It lacks control so it could burn clothes if one is not careful. I remember the first time I tried using it, I burnt my school uniform that I couldn't go to school that day. Using it today is an inspiration of what I learnt from my mom. I am able to press my clothes today using my patience and calmness. It wasn't easy though because I do give my clothes to a dry cleaner whenever it's my Sunday outfit. I managed to use it to pressed my Sunday outfit and it was a success. I'm so happy I'm still able to handle it, if not I could have burnt my clothes again. Thanks to the bad electricity which took me back to my local ironing style my mother taught me. It's so interesting using it and I'm excited it's a success though I almost lost control of it.
