Stories You Don't Wanna Hear or Read

I was surprised when I heard and read that Pres. Gloria M. Arroyo was invited in Peru for the unveiling of the bronze bust of Dr. Jose P. Rizal. Dr. Jose Rizal is the Philippine's National Hero. Wasn't it good that the Peruvians love and honor our National hero? we must be thankful for that honor. Who is Dr. Jose Rizal? I mean is there something more we Filipinos don't know about? He was sort of a mystery to me until now. Not that I haven't read his books about loyalty and patriotism towards his own country. As a matter of fact I have read two of his novels: El Filibusterismo and Noli Me Tangere. Both novels written in Latin and Spanish and were translated in English and Tagalog. Writers from other countries translated these two novels in their own languages. Yes Dr. JPR is HOT! Actually there are Filipinos who worship him like as if he is God. Maybe he is not God. Maybe he is the Last Emperor. But how could it be?

Okay I will make this entry as public as it should be. I hope no one would claim it as their own research. You know that anything that is of mystery to me I really have to have a thorough investigation. No I don't go search for answers in the internet. I wont tell you what medium I am using to seek and research.

But here's I'm willing to open up. Let us start with the Chinese Empress Dowager of China named TZU HSI (1835-1908). When Tzu Hsi's husband died on Year 1861, Tzu Hsi became the personal adviser, co -regent of the next in line for Emperor. TUNG CHIH, her minor son took in power as China's Emperor. Her son TUNG CHIH was too young to even govern and rule the Empire. It was his Mother whose in turn performing most of the duties and responsibilities. But after his early death (what he died of) (What illness?) (How old when he died?) in 1875, her nephew KUANG HSU succeeded in power and became the Emperor. But then Kung Hsu's regime did not last long. The people revolted and radical reforms were absolutely not in conformity with the Empress. In 1898, the Empress Tzu Hsi decided to seized power and "Boxer Rebellion" was implemented from 1899 to 1900. The foreigners were then expelled out from China especially in Peking. But then in 1902 she allowed some changes economically and politically back into China.

Could it be that when the Emperor of China (HSIEN FENG) died in 1861, Jose Rizal was born in that year, June 19, 1861. He could be TUNG CHIH. But Dr. Jose Rizal died on December 30, 1896 in Luneta (Philippines). Tung Chih died in 1875 after 14 years! Bizarre! Tung Chih didn't die but became a monk and traveled from one country to another. THIS IS MY OWN OPINION. Only monks and missionary can travel freely and safely in those years. Then how come there's a story about him being born in Philippines? You've got to remember Dr. Rizal belonged to the most wealthiest and influential family. I think even Prof. Rudyard Kipling knows him. Probably even Theodore Roosevelt knew the man. It is for the same reason that both Prof Kipling and Pres. Roosevelt made an effort to help the Filipinos against their war with Spain. The Spaniards lost the war. The Americans took Philippines as part of their colony and the rest is history. Whether you'll believe me or not I don't care! I just wrote what I believe to be what happened when eveyone of us is not even born yet.

Besides Historians are the only people known to gather real facts and archives from the "main source." But whoever is the winner from all the subsequent wars, their supposed to be leader can change the tone, quality, life and works, and what really happened in every revolutions made by men. Just look at what happened with Pres. Marcos. For me as I know in my heart and mind, he is a true hero of the Philippines but to his enemies and people who hate him because of jealousy and greed , he was a tyrant and a dictator. See the difference of acquiring knowledge. See the difference of comprehension. Maybe in Year 3000 Pres. Ferdinand Marcos would be the next Phil. National hero. For the meantime let's have Dr. Jose P. Rizal being one of the chosen Manchurian candidate, the first and foremost! So how many were the exact number of terra cota warriors from that grave? Hundreds? Thousands? Why I'm after them? SECRET!

I think Dr. Jose P. Rizal is such a naughty guy. Ahahah. Or somehow in 1800's computer is already available in the market. Based from the ruins in Greece, Egypt, Turkey and Russia where buildings are already of its greater heights and built classically and other architectures of gothic high standards there's no doubt that modern computers are already in demand. So if you'll ask me why only on our generation this high tech is being recognized? The answer would be our ancestors encountered so much trials as much as tribulations. Gruesome devastation in years and years of collosal war. Almost everything were destroyed. When nothing but junk remains after the end of the war then it's starting over once again. That's how it goes.......HERE SHE GOES..........

It's Monday today. One of my busiest day because it's the start of the regular school days for my kids. Preparing what clothes for them to wear. What food they have to eat for breakfast. I usually wake up before 7 am. Get ready with the usual pancake with butter on top. This time I copied my Mother's special pancake. I added slices of young coconut meat on the flour mix with one beaten egg and milk. Even my husband Lorne loves it. My eldest son's doesn't like pancake though. He settled for his favorite ham. He wants the crunchy ham for breakfast.

Why is it every Mom has problem with meal preparation? I have problems the same way as you do. If we all can just cook or bake anything that we really like without others being fuzzy about food. That we may conclude that we are totally different when it comes to our likes and dislikes.
We have favoritism. We have something in common and we all have food that we hate.

Imagine someone giving or serving you a meal that you don't eat because you have an allergy. Or the meal that is presented is a taboo to your religious belief. It is okay to be honest to the ones who invited you that you don't eat such kind of meal. Instead of bitching about the food that is on the table.

Thanksgiving Day is already over in Canada and Christmas holiday is fast approaching. That's why Canadians are busy looking for work (if they are unemployed). While those who are still working are busy saving money if there's any left over after they paid so much bills like mortgages, hydro (electric & gas), vehicle (maintenance, oil, gas, tire). The money saved for Christmas shopping and for the feast.

While in the USA, their Thanksgiving Day is on the 27th of November > Thursday. How they gonna count their blessings probably depends on who their country's leader is. What he can offer to the people in times of "bail out." Why I mentioned this? America is now a country of bail outs. I don't know their strategy under Democratic rule. Here in Canada we'll probably have Bailey's in times of Harper Row's regime.

Revival Of The Fittest

My love for key limes is worth a thousand words.
What more if I have them combined with Kikkoman or China Lilly soy sauce. Squeezing the juice of key limes with the soy sauce is a refreshing dip for eggrolls, spring rolls, dimsum and wonton dumplings. Exotic cravings for exotic food.
Food that requires your bare hands for skillfully wrapping and stuffing finely grated or shredded ingredients mostly ground meat, ground seafood and vegetables.

Every time we watched a show on TV when we were young a key is required.
The key we used to borrow from my Grandmother. Our National PanasonicTV is built like a cabinet with a sliding door and with a lock. It was my Grandmother who bought it.
We cannot argue. We'd better finish the homework first before we can watch a TV show.

What today's topic has something to do with the present situation?
Well, it's just that I noticed that some people from every shows I watch are connecting with each other by means of a KEY WORD.

Last night, Tyra Banks show was about the latest Supermodel. Mckey winning the Supermodel contest. What's in her that made her the winner? In my own opinion she's got what it takes to be a model. Beauty, Height, Long Legs, Good personality, Photogenic- Good or easy on the eyes. Other beauties in that contest have the same qualifications. What made her the winner though?

Other KEY is the KEYNESIAN Theory. In this theory the market economy may reach equilibrium. When unemployment reached a large number in a key city, steps to stimulate aggregate demand can curve depression.

That's why there is so called LIQUIDITY TRAP. Okay time to sing "You're beautiful it's true!"

Magcalamansi na lang kayo! REVIVE!

Do you think the NAME helps her to become the Supermodel of the year? The answer is YES. In this age of commercialism when almost everything is for sale you must at least have a name that can greatly affect the brand of clothing and other accessories to correspond with your personality. MCKEY is kinda a "brand name" already plus having such a gorgeous smile and beauty that appeals to the masses then who wont be magnetized right? Besides her beauty resembles that of Ella Enchanted > Anne Hathaway.

From Dogs To Rats

My topic for today revolves on one of my blogs and this blog V.V.I.T. In this blog I noticed that someone, somebody or whoever is the culprit is changing the spelling of "few words" that I used in my messages (sentences). I knew that every time, BEFORE I click "publish post" I make sure that I checked my grammar first. Correcting the spelling or whatever minor details in here that needs changing. I usually edit or proof-read first before publishing because who else will help me with my blog but me. Whoever will be humiliated on this account but me, myself and nobody else. Yes a personal blog can give you humiliation that sometimes you don't deserve. That we must be aware of what we are writing here. Good if you have friends who will help you or assist you in a way to mend your broken English or the composition is somewhat wrong. There are other individuals who would be happy to help > Thank God for them. While others would be happy that you made a lot of mistakes. In making a lot mistakes, you know that they have the chance to offer a helping hand but rather fall on deaf ears, or rather have you commit mistakes because they can have a chance to overcome your presence or most of all it's their chance to be in the limelight. Or for selfish reasons that they don't like you. They have the attitude that they want to kick you out of the way because they don't have a chance to outwit your personality. Most of these people have insecurities and ego higher than Mount Everest. They are rude and painfully selfish. They are mostly cyber hackers paid by other companies to get what they are supposed to get. They want you to "mess up." They don't want you to succeed so that you'll keep on repeating and repeating. It is through repetition that these manipulators are making money. What a shame.

How many bloggers have quit from blogging? How many of them seek other blogworld? How many of us keep changing passwords so that these hackers and other virus or bug buggers cannot penetrate to our own domain? These hackers are paid by anonymnous individuals so that they can sell Anti-Virus protection CD wares. But then you bought this ant-spyware then its them who will look inside your computer's network. Dog eats dog! Doggone world. Once those virus and bugs ruined your computer and the whole system you have no other choice but to BUY NEW COMPUTER. What else? Other blog sites would be happy to sign you in so that other giant sites like Microsoft, Yahoo and Google would lose credibility thereby you their loyal clients and customers would seek other networking sites. It's a RAT RACE! And I'm so fed up!

Let me tell you this: I wont stop from blogging no matter what. Besides, I'm the only one that the Weather CHannel listens too. If I want snowfalling on your site I will do that as a punishment for hacking the system.

I know that the past tense of buy is "bought." See the MESS? Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

Canadians are known for their love of sports
Sports that uplift the entertainment value, skills and creativity
Of the high performance athletes that Canada has to offer to the rest of the world
Winter sports that the country gained acceptance, ingenuity, multi-cultural diversity and be a part of the European community.

Who else will enjoy the winter sports but the countries with so much snow.
Let it snow, let it snow!

Let it snow before and after Christmas
Let it snow until we bought a new

What Else Is New ?

Maybe we'll have spaghetti for dinner. Adding these organic tomatoes direct from our garden. Red and orange plump tomatoes to be used as rich sauce for my Italian style spaghetti would likely yield a better healthy pro choice. We had a good harvest and we already cooked some of these tomatoes before in different kind of meals. Many have enjoyed the Vit. C enriched veggie-fruit. Tomatoes are a combination of fruit and a vegetable. V8 juice is one familiar product that truly enhance its fruit content.

I phoned my Mother the other day to greet her on her 75th birthday. At first I was not able to reach her because she attends a Born Again Christian mass on that particular day (her Special Day) instead it was my Father whom I had a long conversation with. I found out that they no longer have the garden after they had a home-renovation. What they have are trees around their house outside. Mostly jackfruit trees. My Father and I get along well together because probably we have the same kind of thinking and principle while my Mother is more on her religious faith and upbringing. Oh there is one thing that he mentioned that not only the Visayan region is infested with typhoon that hit the area consecutively but also the presence of twister in that province is more common than usual. Twister in tagalog is known as ipo-ipo. If you're looking for climate change there you go...more twister than ever.

I decided to phonce once again the next day to greet my Mother personally. I heard a not familiar voice over the other line. A cute small voice of a young boy. Who could that be, I asked myself because my parents live by themselves and a housemaid. It turned out they were babysitting my brother's youngest son. My Mother who is complaining a bit about looking after my nephew because of his rambunctious behaviour, going from one place to another without telling them, or going to the ricefield area where its muddy and although the watery field is shallow still is not safe though. So they always keep the boy inside but having houdini power of somekind Dustin can able to get out from the house and play with other kids outside. When asked why he doesn't want to attend school and his only answer is, " I want to be a farmer. I don't need to go to school." It's funny for a 3 1/2 year old boy to reply on a candid question.

The answer came from the mind of a child. For us adult we know that being a farmer nowadays you still have to study. As a matter of fact there are universities that offer a B.S. in Agriculture course. A 4 Year Course of study that provides knowledge in Botany, Biology, Environment, management and other productive measures about seedlings, plant or crop rotation and formation, contour farming, productivity and all its mechanics combined with the present technology. How to use farm machineries and equipments. But if you only have a small garden just outside your yard all you need are the right tools to cultivate, right soil and the right plant at the right time plus your "green thumb." Yes the farmers should have the green thumb or else nothing will grow.

My Mother and I chatted on many topic until my Mother noticed that Dustin was sprinkling the Johnson's baby powder on the base of the telephone. Oh there that's the end of our conversation. Panish talaga.

Who's Turn Is It?

When several puppies played together
They all stayed together for the game full of fun
Just for fun
Tricks?
Tricks depend on your kind of thinking and understanding

Shattered pieces of broken bottles and glass on the ground were already cleaned and thrown away when I arrived at the site of the van. I'm supposed to take pictures of that scene on that particular day. Broken bottles! That only meant the badass had a drinking spree first before they hit the van's window glass. Probably too drunk to even recall of what they have committed. Good that the members of the family had taken pictures of that "scene" as proof or evidence. I asked if they have a suspect. Somehow I can only think of "suspects."

It was not long time ago that two of their vehicles wheels have been maliciously been targeted by these hoodlums. Twice in a row their car and one of the van's tires were busted. Flat tires for no apparent reason. It's only them in that complex, from that area is being a target by those whose got nothing to do. What is their problem? I have too many questions and inquiries that made me more look like a Matlock than being the Lethal Weapon guy. He he he. Oh no really not a laughing matter though. I hate to hear from the victims that they have to pay $1,200 for their van's windows fixed. Thank God the CIBC can cover the cost amounting to $900.00 and Tins need to pay only $300.00. But then come to think of it $300 is a lot of money. That's equivalent to 13,800 pesos! One month salary of a teacher in Philippines. With three hundred dollars that's equivalent to my family's grocery bills for 2 weeks.

If that happened to my van you betcha I'm going ballistic and I'll have my Rambo armor combat in tow. I will be the vigilante that I am. No guts. No glory. However I'm sure the RCMP wherever they are should keep a watchdog in areas where they are and should be when needed or they can wear camouflage. Open your eyes. Widen your eyes or I'll have the ARMY instead in my ground.

GO ARMY ! GO ARMY!
ARMY OF ONE!

While everyone's busy visiting their deceased loved ones at the cemetery some of us are already into saving money for the upcoming BIG EVENT. What's that event? None other than Christmas Holiday of course.

Santa Claus is a SAINT better known as Saint Nicholas from the North Pole. A lot of children believes in Santa. If you don't you only get rotten socks and briefs. That's what it is. So, even if you are a has been you've gotta believe!

Oh by the way, while my sister in law was on her way to sell her Christmas crafts for Craft sale today, I found out that my niece's van was broken last night. Yes, the bad ass has broken her van. The van's window glass is broken. Great! Who will do such thing? Only juvenile delinquents are capable of doing such crime. See that, when you think you'll have money for Christmas shopping and there you are stranded being cash-trapped because you've got to have that van fix. Unless of course you have auto-insurance. That would save the day but having to go through that hassle is really a total mess and a waste.

Oh darn! Don't make my Holiday turn into a nightmare or else you'll all suffer. When I say it, I mean it. When I say all. It means ALL of you the inhabitants of the Earth!
