Home Sweet Home
By JEROME P. YANSON
For couple Boy and Flor, twenty-four hours seem too short to wrap up their day.

From Dusk Till Down
By BRENALYN PEJI
They come out at night.  No, I’m not talking here about vampires although I might as well be. With their odd working hours, the equally unusual time for rest and recreation, the zombie-like appearance some of them carry as they come home in the morning, yet at their best elements while the rest of us are sleeping, call center agents may well be the 21st century’s version of nocturnal creatures.
 
At Home for Work
By KATHERINE B. BRIMON
It’s 5 o’clock in the morning and Eda needs to get out of bed.  Today is a working day and she must rush. After breakfast, however, Eda is left behind with dishes to wash, some laundry to do, and late in the day she’ll be fetching the kids from school.
