Grow Up!

My blog format is rated soliloquy. It's me narrating everything from every minute details to long detailing of events, reviews and happenings that revolved within me and the world around me. There are times that I asked myself how come I don't receive any comments here in my blog? Am I super "mataray" ang dating? Am I too scary to look at? UHm, bakit kaya? Kataka-taka na ito ah.

If nobody seems interested in posting their comments here in my blog how come my topic or my idea is sometimes being broadcast or being used as an idea of another blogger or fortunately a topic in one of the TV shows here? No need to mention what channel. Kasi pulos parinig eh. So kunsumisyon lang.

What else? Do I have to mention that some of my artworks long time ago were included in the ceremony @Torino OG? Naks yabang ko naman. Caso kung ninakaw yung idea ko then ang nabigyan ng recognition eh di yung magna. Sad to say. However I'm not that bad huh, may the Lord God help you when I'm in doubt in this situation. Yeah feeling ko I was being excommunicated. Eh hindi naman ako si Rizal. O sige na gawin nyo na lang na Odyssey 2001 part 2. Hay naku parang unfair di ba?

I'm not asking for award or any recognition noh. I'm not after that. However am not after for false friends naman. Kahit wala na akong friends kung pulos fake naman lahat. So yun nga siguro God doesn't want me being with anyone lalo na kung pulos fake lang. I know dyan malakas ang sense ko. Kailangan kong magbaon ng bag of silica gels. No hindi ako inggit sa inyo at higit sa lahat di ko rin type ang mga tulad nyo na mahilig lang kayong lumapit pag may kailangan kayo. Sorry wala akong ipapautang sa inyo. Zinokayo? Zinoka? You can check the World Bank if there's anything left dahil wala namang magbayad dahil pulos kayo may alzheimers. Ha ha ha!

Yung isa naman dyan, I'm not laughing at you being different. Buti naman at iba ka pala. Ahahha! Being different is a revelation but being yourself is a true nature of what a normal being is. You portray yourself out of the ordinary and whom you are fooling but yourself. Unless of course "Day masyado ka ng OA." Para kayong artista. You are a great pretender. The reason why the Immigration Officers are after those criminal chameleons. Kung si James Bond ka ...Gising! Ang taas na ng araw matutunaw ka na. Hay naku marami akong PAL (Palamunin) di ko alam kung anong ipapefeed ko sa mga 'to, miracle gro na lang kaya?

Perception

Do you think my vision is similar with my children's vision? How can that be? That remains to be seen. Besides it's only year 2008. If its bad vision I always have a way to conquer bad spirits turning them into better vibes. I am a visionary and I rule my own fate no matter what. I have seen it all. Ha! Tutuo ba 'to? Now what is my next move?

I was busy taking pictures lately. Its all about nature. Lush greeneries, evergreen trees, the forest and all the nature trails. Trees that are particularly native to the island: redwood, douglas fir trees, cedar, alder, maple and pine trees. New trees, just about to spring out, old trees that lost its glory. The bark no longer cover its huge trunk. these are trees that were in the forest for over 500 years, 300 to 200 years. How did I know? It's because of their rings. By estimation. Algae and lichens are already growing wildly on its branches. I have seen few trees that were burnt probably hit by lightning. It cannot be a forest fire. Nope not by its appearance.

The greyish colored mountain at the horizon which is gray because of the clouds that surrounds it (far view -far sighted)). It turned blue green colored at the slopes when our boat get closer to it (near view-near sighted). The hills that surround the river, and lakes, the falling and cascading water. The fresh leaves, the needles hanging unto the branches and the dry leaves just clinging through the end until the wind has swept them away and fell apart on the ground. The pine cones on the sand down through the sandy shore, some are scattered along the green grass wet with dew. The tossing of the waves. The whirlpool, the rising tide, the lily pads and their yellow lilies on the oval pool that seems to be comfortably sitting permanently on the floaters. What a wonderful sight to reckon with. Also those bunches of dry branches from trees that were arranged to pile up high as a shelter for the smart beavers to live in. Curious to find out where they at then we heard a tiny cry. Okay that's it we're invading their privacy. Off we go. Fishing over for the time being. Besides two beavers already dive deep down at the bottom of the pond hidden at the lily pad's stalk. Sayang! Di ko nakunan ng picture ang bilis nilang magdive eh. Then I was happy to see such a unique bird with black and blue feathers and white spikes on its head. Uhm what kind of bird that is?

I'll be back to continue my story after my son is finished with his game. CIAO
+

Okayyyy I'm back. Supper is over. Had fresh strawberry milkshakes for dessert. Goodah! So let's continue my story.

On our way back to the camp site, we saw a man rowing his boat. It's a strange kind of boat. It's like two small boats joint together and the boater is at the middle as he paddled through the waves. Isn't that kind of banca common to the Lake Titiaca? We saw some tall wild grass like papyrus stalks? Hmm, weird huh. Still not satisfied with the colors at the horizon. It's cloudy and foggy you know. Darn not sunny. The weather is unfortunately not cooperating at that moment. The sun's always hidden amongst the gray clouds. It doesn't help in my photography. I know my digital camera has a built-in flash and the batteries are still new and I even re-charged the batteries before we go to this retreat.

Well if it's really the weather condition as the culprit then there's nothing I can do. Why I am color conscious? I love colors and it is simply the attraction in every photographs unless of course your model is superbly supremely majestic, enigmatic, or almost God like in nature that only one or two colors are good enough and still is can attract attention.

Besides I am an amateur photographer and photography is just a simple way of having my life a little brighter. I mean part of a leisure hobby to keep me busy. Enjoying my midlife crisis instead of knitting or crocheting. Hehehe! I mean taking pictures is such a delightful fascinating way to turn my life topsy turvy.

I don't know how blogging would be without photographs to merit your purpose. It would be incomplete. Pictures on pertinent blogs are best viewed with colorful pictures that defy the essence of the story you are telling to your audience and readers. It adds additional bubbly lively spirit, the zest for life. The vibrant appearance of the still life pictures whether in the form of painting, drawing, doodles, impressionism, and artworks help alleviate fun and entertainment value to the quality and value of every blogs. It defies the value and self worth of the bloggers. The kind of pictures you posted on each and every page of your blog depict the kind of personality you have unless of course if the main theme or purpose of your blog is more of a reverse psychological approach.

Birthday Wishes



The way to economize birthdays. This is probably the simplest way to celebrate my kids birthday. Year after years they always have the finest things in life. All they could wish for and all that we can afford for to make them happy. But there comes a time when we have to be thrifty.

They didn't seem bother or worried about the small and simple celebration that we had for them. Whatever they wish for before blowing the lights off their special candle is worth thinking. That's right worth thinking after I pricked their birthday cake with fork while I smiled on what I wish for them.

Hmm, what are those fork prints mean? That from now on we'll be having beef for supper? Nah, we usually have beef steak because that's my husband's fave meal.

Fork prints mean?? Whatever you can think of. I'm not that silly to reveal the code. To my ever wonderful, ever bundles of joy, my love of my life kids HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

It's All About Plate

Some old formula still and will definitely work up to the time when the demand is fruitful.

Let's have the AC DC Formula for instance.

AC = Alternating Current

DC = Direct Current

What's the importance of AC & DC?

1. Positively charged plate attracts electrons

2. Positively charged metal plate wont work in in most electronics

3. Electric current comes from the power company that is alternating the current

4. AC jiggle back and forth. It's like a jell-o.

5. AC works on long distances

6. While DC has one direction only like in a battery current

7. AC to DC rectification is only made up to set things right SET STRAIGHT.


Note: From negative to positive. But opposite attracts. True to some context until of course the friction sets in.

You can have other means to prolong this idea in a more clever way. Divergent thinking as a matter of fact.

It's all about plate. Have you got your rice? Or you're back to wheat and barley?
It's one of the food for thought a day. Have something for a month will 'ya?

Showcase


General cleaning in my house. As I gazed through the entire room there is not much space for me to place some of my stuff. Then gazing at my kids bedroom is enough for me to faint in dismay. Or have a stroke. Ngek! Exaggerating earnestly.

Cluttered with CD, VGs, DVDs, discs. electronics, and gadgets of all kinds....my kids surely need bigger rooms. Enough space to display their love for games.

The picture above is what I wish for them. A special showcase of their collections. My goodness if that's not enough for them to be happy and excited. Zest the game.

Am I raising spoiled brats?

So What??

I'm a spoiled Brat too!

OMG!

Harbourview


Holly berry at the harbour view? It's unusual. But it's growing there like a yin-yang. I first thought it only bears fruit on Christmas. Well, you know this plant is used as a welcome wreath or adornment on the dinner table on Holidays especially on Christmas Day.

More colorful variety of roses. In yellow, white, pink, red, and orange.


This colorful rose hybrid is surely one of a kind. Four color combination in it: white, yellow, red-orange. Absolutely beautiful.




Back to the Heritage Site. Some people are busy preparing for the event. Yes there are hundreds of CR residents who joined in this celebration. Thousands of people who viewed the fireworks. Where are the people? They're all scattered in different venues: food and craft booths, some joined the parade, others are sitting on bermuda grass at the park. Others on the rocky harbor doing their own thing.

Sailboats At Rest




We walked and walked along this fence. Lots of sailboats at the dockyard.

Seaview


The harbor. The seaview. Whatever you want to call it. I love looking at the view of the sea. The calm soothing effect of the ocean. The movements of boats, canoes, kayaks and ships. Oh look at that tugboat.


After July 1st the city becomes a major sleepy head. I know. Maybe it's the temperature? Or hangover? Whatever it is there's no time wasting time at my place.

How tourism is promoted in different countries in the world is of course through their natural resources that never fail to charm tourists from other parts of the continent. If they don't have enough resources, they think of making them. From natural to man-made resources.

Blast Of Fun = Fireworks




There is something incredibly amazing with fireworks. We all know that first fireworks display originated in mainland China until it was discovered by other foreigners. Marco Polo was amazed of this colorful arrays of fire in the sky that he also couldn't help but gazed up in the sky to watch the almost electric currents being blasted on mid air. It was fantastic.

Marco Polo and other sea farer adventurer brought fireworks to their own countries.
For the Chinese and their heirs, fireworks are actually designed to drive away evil spirits.
It is also meant to bring good luck and cheers.
NOW
It's a way of celebration
To celebrate
A NEW BEGINNING
A NEW LIFE

Blast Of Fun = Fireworks




Blast Of Fun = Fireworks



Canada Day is greeted with spectacular fireworks. In Campbell River there is always something in the "fireworks" that can make you feel excited. Simply because of its hidden message. Just like the Inkblot Test you've got to figure out the symbols and signs that were taken place in those blots of dark ink. In this fire display, you've got to figure out the "blast sign." You can enlarge the pictures above by clicking it once or twice.
