BLOG, BLOGGER, BLOGGING, BLOG-ING!

Let me tell you my dear readers about BLOG. BLOG yeah the word BLOG need not be complicated. It's a BLOG! It's not a book. It's a BLOG! It's not a newspaper. It's not a magazine. It's a BLOG!

How many times I have to tell you this It's A BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know the difference between a BLOG and a BOOK?

The reason why we're here at Bloggers Google because we are Bloggers blogging ranting whatever is inside our minds. It doesn't need any rule. No policy not complicated. You don't need to hurt, harm yourself from writing your language. It is your language or dialect you are using or you can do whatever you want to post here depends on what talents you have. For the WRITERS especially the NOVELISTs the group of prolific writers who are becoming nuisance populating the blogworld. There is nothing wrong with them being here but they are notorious with their proficiency in the English language as if they know their English so well. Right they are so good with their first language. Imagine yourself not so great with the English you were born with. Kataka-taka naman kung hindi ka marunong magEnglish eh English ka na nga. American, Canadian and British need to excel more with their language. It's true! It's a shame if another individual or individuals will be more fluent in English when it's only a second language to those persons involved. SHAME if your English sucks so bad when another asian is far better when it comes to communicating in English. Right! You have to upgrade your English. It's you who will UPgrade your own language...and you did. You have invented and discovered more high frequency English terms and vocabulary from other countries. You ADDED and BORROWED vocabulary words from the Italians, Germans, Irish, Chinese, Africans (Ebonic), also vocabulary words from Philippines you included their connective words to increase the Webster World dictionary. Collegiate words basically for College students which you can apply in your aim to justify that your English really attained that higher, deeper quality English language that was frowned long time ago by the Spaniards. But who cares...since 1900 English became the Universal language spoken the whole world. All the latinized version of all books were then translated into language universally understood by millions of people. English.

ENGLISH. English. English.

Speak English if you are talking to people who can only understand English. Speak your own language when you are talking with the same nationality or you are in a country where that language is being used.

Simply > "When  you're in Rome do what the Romans do!" Are we in Rome here in Canada? Are we in the Middle East instead of in Canada? Who should reign and governed here? Who should lead the country Canada? Do we have a PRIME MINISTER? Is he a CANADIAN? Who should the TV Network work for? Canada? Or Middle East? Who they work for? Are you working for Canada or other countries? My God where the good leaders of Canada? Do we have smart people here in Canada?

Why I asked that question? TV Stations here in Canada seemed to focus people from the Middle East and the Muslim Community. Helloooooooooooo are you in Canada people? Where are you? Can we call Pres. George Bush instead? Can I call the military so that will know if CANADA is Canada not Middle East? Are you lost of how this country is dealing with the problems here? Are you using the English language properly? Can you understand ENGLISH? There 'ya go the problem with DIVERSITY. Canada doesn't know whom they want to project as a country. They are at LOST on whom they stand for? Maybe it's not a country but a UNITED NATIONs. If it is a United Nation not a country inform us. INFORM US!

Tell your political leaders what matters to you should matter to them. They don't need to hide secrets when they will know them all along. It's time for HONESTY that will benefit the majority of the whole population. Politics is dirty but we want a clean one.

Let Me Think and Analyze That Dream

I'm supposed to post a DREAM I had two days ago. Supposedly that's my plan yesterday then I decided to just jot it down on my diary instead kasi nakakahiyang isulat dito baka kung ano pang masabi nung iba dyan. Kasi this is the second time I had a dream of PW. I don't know why. Maybe his mother is an angel now and she is trying to reach him through me. Or maybe because his family was connected thr. a family tree. Same family tree. Genealogy.

I'd rather keep mum about it because I hate being called riding to his popularity and their family tree.

Know what? My dreams are becoming vivid and interesting. That's why I am compiling them in one journal. Just like Sigmund Freud,  I have compilation and dream interpretations too. If he's got 100 dream interpretations of dreams from his patients in his time mine is a journal of my OWN DREAMS. Not dreams of others. That's my OWN dream, that's the difference...and it's not for sale.

In Economics book dreams are subjected to demand curve and some people are selling their dreams. I think that's crazy! That's a different kind of dream maybe it's called a plan. Dream house, dream car, dream business, dream works, dream dreams and make your dreams your master.

DREAMS are my reality, sometimes! When it's super good. When it's all about happiness, without sadness and loneliness. Dreams without problems and without nightmares. Dreams with all the possibility that everything is perfect...that you don't want to wake up anymore.

Busy Sewing

My obsession with photography stopped for a while while I was busy with sewing. Yeah been busy sewing like crazy as if I am in the mood to finish the gown for my daughter. Yesterday I was halfway through my sewing craziness when husband came home from work way too early. I wonder why. Then he told me that there are too many workers in the house they were doing carpentry work. Too many cabinets to be set up in the kitchen. The electrician and his helpers were there to connect wirings, etc, etc.

Oh well it's a house not a building so the place is too small for all of them. Then I showed the gown I was making and he frowned a bit and said I should buy my daughter a better nicer beautiful gown. I think he can't see the beauty of the gown because it's not really finish yet and maybe because of the color of the fabric. I know such a lame color blue. The color of the blue sky or the color of the blue sea when the blue sky as it reflects on water. Reflection. Boring? Oh wait till it's finished I told myself. What could be the best color for a gown? A party night gown? I know you'll say pink! Pink for girls. Or dark fuschia. Like a bright raspberry color. Violet or purple seemed to be the most elated favorably the choice of ladies over 15 years old. Actually over twenty. Not too many wear yellow or green. However black is most desired by women older than 30. Red? Hmmmm....not my type of color for gowns. It's really a bright color and it has bad meaning for some of us. Not with the Chinese though RED is the color of money and strength. Just like orange, red has the strong color of beauty...for the Chinese. I'm not Chinese. My relatives are Chinese. Few of them. My daughter is less than twenty years old and she should wear color that matches her age I think.

I tried to show her my dress, the party dress that I have in the closet and let her choose the color she likes. She had chosen the bright pink dress (almost like a fuschia) made of  fine satin with fine expensive lace on it. I had it made by a seamstress when I was in the Philippines years ago. Quite an expensive fabric. I bought it in a fabric store in Greenbelt, Makati.  She likes the ones with lace. Okay I'll remember that.

Continued sewing again. This time I will have this blue gown just as a "pattern." If she doesn't like it then maybe she'll change her mind one of these days. Who knows eh?

Busy. Busy. Busy.

P.S. Photo of the blue satin gown?
Later when I'm finished with the appliques, beads and pearls.

Fun With Bandanna, My Obsession!

SHOPPING turns the economy around. So, my obsession with the purchasing power of MONEY makes me want to buy things and stuff that I really like. You should help the ECONOMY of your country by being a buyer. Need I add the LAW OF SUPPLY & DEMAND? Oh, I know every economist of every nation and country knew and aware of the value of such LAW so tatah ----- I need to cook something for lunch now. CIAO.

Academic Dress

ACADEMIC DRESS: GOWNs, CAPs and HOODs

The Academic dress worn by the Graduates include the following: Caps, gowns, and hoods. The commencement exercises at the University and Colleges in different parts of the world varied greatly and depends on the official staff, management of the school or University where the Graduating Class is. Most of all presided by the University Dean of Arts and Letters or Science. How it all started with all these pageantry when it comes to end schooling in the most fabulous colors and costume for you'll be surprised that the Monk scholars were then the promoter of this ancient medieval  tradition.

The Monks and scholars wore caps so that they could throw the hoods back. Until now the monks still use the traditional conservative academic gown. This is also a tradition for the Minister of a Congregation or Church. Up to now the Pope's the one person who is legit to wear the whole complete costume: the gown, the cape, caps, hood and including the baton. Ancient Babylonian and ancient Egyptian rite to remind that the Pope has the sole authority to initiate the proceeds of any governing rules and doctrines within the denomination or congregation of the Higher Land.

Only scholars wore the toga! Only the scholars won the academic dress. Uhm sounds intriguing! How time flies and when University of Oxford and University of Cambridge set the trend not only scholars are allowed but any students who are in the Graduating Class >>> in that particular UNIVERSITY!

ACADEMIC DRESS (Specification) All gowns are BLACK and the only difference in their gowns are the style of the sleeves and colors of the velvet or lining. Depends on the Institution.

MASTER's  Black GOWNs are cut-away above the elbow
in front and hang down in back. The CAP with stiff flat top called mortar board cap generally worn at the commencement exercises. The TASSEL is black. HOODs worn in academic procession.

DOCTOR's Black GOWN made of finer material. Has velvet panel down the front sleeves are bell shaped. CAP with stiff flat top called mortar board cap, gold color, velvet cap lining. Tassel is black. Hoods worn at the academic procession.

BACHELOR's Black GOWN. CAP with stiff flat top called mortar board. TASSEL is black. HOODS has lined with silk, representing color of the institution. Rarely wore hood only after the grad. received the degree.

COLOR OF THE VELVET TRIMMING indicate the Subject which the DEGREE was granted:

WHITE - Arts, Letters, Humanities
LIGHT BLUE - Education
ORANGE - Engineering
PURPLE - Law
GREEN - Medicine

GOLDEN YELLOW - Science
SCARLET - Theology

 Do you think the picture (photograph) above is photoshopped? You mean my true image is altered? Think again.

There is so called "LIGHT" that can make your image a little brighter and it's for you to adjust the lighting effect of your camera. If you think you look kind of anemic you can adjust the "lighting effect to the right color by adjusting the contrast and brightness of what you can see through the lens or through the "mirror" of your own tech gadget. That's how simple it is. If this the kind of "face" you can see in front of the mirror then that's your face. Nobody else!

Make up can do wonders to your face. It can hide blemishes, pimples and acne. What's wrong if you'll have beautiful pictures or photographs? Celebrities are encouraged to have beautiful gorgeous appearance on TV and MOVIES because they are endorser of products such as cosmetic, perfumery, clothing and any product the company wishes them to promote.

I am not a celebrity! This I want to make it clear. I just love PHOTOGRAPHY and the ARTS...which is a very broad subject to tackle with.

Am I endorsing VERSACE? Not really. It just happened that it's one of my favorite eau de toilette. I'm using it. You know what I mean? Celebrities may or may not use products they endorsed but it's up to them for they have a choice. The point is would it better that if you endorsed such product you have to use it so that you'll know or you and me knows the result? This is so true with commercials pertaining to medicine. But that's another subject to discuss.

In comparison. People love to compare any products that they bought in the market. Do you think the label has something to do with it? Or the trademark and branding plus the caption can do wonders to that advertisement? Don't tell me you follow the product and purchase such trademark because of the endorser who promote it? Take your pick.

I for myself would take a chance and choice all together. TRYING to know out of curiousity wont kill a cat for they have nine lives. Trying to find out what is best is good than not trying at all. Be brave, be optimistic and most of all V whoever you can V.

I AM who I am and stop comparing me with someone else  I don't even know.

Life Without Mystery and Secrecy Is Dull and Boring

Why I am so concerned about the MOVIE INDUSTRY? You wanna know? Because this special kind of industry employs an incredible amount of talent based on quality and quantity of work. The significant amount of contributions and distribution worldwide is worthy of financial gain and reward. Hope it's legal and no piracy. As a matter of fact even the late Pope John Paul II of the Vatican knew all about this and the movie actor Kevin Costner was made aware of this gigantic source of income for the whole world to see and realized that it is also the "source of intelligence."

Movies act as pattern or format to see through ourselves whether we are all being portrayed in the characters the actors and actresses portrayed in the story. Just like what's written in the book, in the Holy Bible where all characters are depicted in such a way Jesus Christ and God tried to let the whole world to reflect their own vision and understanding on different situation where mankind failed. Sometimes it's through failures people learned the hard way. There are people who succeed without any trials it's just that success is always at their feet no matter what. Remember Jesus washing the hands of his disciples. Why Him washing their dirty feet? Aren't they old enough to wash their own? Mystery...mystery.

On silvery lining:

 Maybe it's what you call being lucky and fortunate to have been born with the silver spoon in their mouth. Not gold eh? Yeah why not gold? Why silver? There 'ya go reading the Bible again. Why Jesus Christ asked Judas Escariot to go and get Him 30 pieces of silver. There must be "something special, valuable meaning to that 30 pieces of silver!"

That's one of the many mysteries in the life of Jesus Christ.  Until now silver and gold go from one hand to another in trading and GOLD (Au) is still the most dominant expensive metal in the world. SILVER (Ag) just remained second and BRONZE the third metal to be worthy of praise.

Who would like to have DIAMONDS? Lately plutonium and diamonds are great source of wealth. Without diamond in gold? It's kind of lame and flat. Diamond is made of special carbon and YOU as a human being is made of "carbon." Do you know? DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER!

Create, Inspire, Innovate!

 VERSACE eau de toilette is one of my favorite perfume. It is sweet scented combination of radiant fresh floral that's really exciting. mystifying, enigmatic... and the "bottle" look at the bottle it is unique in appearance. I love it! It's a collector's item. Costly, not so cheap. The scent last more than 24 hours.

 I wouldn't mind having it everyday. Would you?

Take it or leave it. But don't drink it. It's not wine...

LEARN. LIVE. LOVE. LAUGH. PRAY. INSPIRE. ENJOY!

Do I need CHEERS?

The Brown Owl and The Dragons

 I was surprised when my daughter arrived home from school with this drawing above of a great brown owl. Cute isn't it? My daughter is really good at drawing, one of her skills. She is a moody creative artist. Moody! She likes to draw when she feels like it not that she does it all the time. She's enrolled in computer animation and I want her to expand her creativity with computer skills if need be. I hope the computer art teacher knew the many skills and techniques applied in such art so that my daughter can benefit from it. A good teacher always teach the students the required skills and not hide the importance of the knowledge and skills required to maintain perfection in every result of that artwork. You have to pass your talent to the ones whom you think will follow your footsteps in creating an obra - maestra or masterpiece.

You may notice that there are too many video games and movies based on animated cartoon characters then also the discovery of Avatar the new generation of digitally skilled and altered human beings used for  "Avatar film - making." Not that I want to change human beings being used to work in the movies to act and talk but animation is such a world wide hit in this generation in this time and you and I have to go with the flow or sink swim against the current? If you're a great swimmer, yes.

 Year 2012 is the Year of the Dragons. Chinese love their dragons. Do the other population love dragons? Not so many like dragons. For them it's evil. It's the dancing dragon > the Aurora! The Northern lights and it's amazing and at the same time it is scary. Frightening to the bones.

 Well folks you have to realize it's only drawing. You have to tame the inner dragon in yourself. Reality, fantasy! Can you make a difference and comparison? Our mind can do such thing of figuring it out.

Oh dragons! Aren't they colorful? Vibrant so tantalizing? China the origin of dragon and then Bruce Lee provided us with "Enter The Dragon" movie until a strange dream mystified his very own existence and next thing we know he died. Then his son followed in such a very mystifying death only dragons knew that Empire always strike back.

The SUN is like a fiery fierce dragon it can send fire and solar flares. It can be so madly deeply hot and cooler at night. Could it be that the sun is also the moon? No one can tell...only if you have the strength of the dragon within your blood.

Born To Be Alive & Born To Pitch YEAR @)!@ 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How to end a blog? I want to end my blog here at Blogspot (Google) and concentrate on writing a book. The point is I have so much idea running like yin-yang in my head and I cannot start the very beginning or introduction of that novel. I have a very interesting and exciting plot however I am not in the most health buff rather not in a good condition to start another blog story here in the internet h-way. As I noticed the frequent computer blogger users stop their musing too. Maybe they also realized that no matter how many literary agents assured them of the publishing success still is the most dominant writers who are writing for over 20 years get to win the much needed space and capital. For the newbie's it's gonna be a survivalist's skills and effort to start again and again every time the novel is rejected. That I know of a soultion...have a publishing company of your own. Have a machinery of people who will print and publish your book. It's gonna be a tremendous amount of capital. The result? Are the people buying such stories? Are they really buying the book that you have written? Or maybe the best possible way to cope up is sell the novel to a movie production company and have that novel be made into movie. That's all I can think of with my net novela. The amount of special effects for such "novels" are really intended for movies not as "reading material." The ingredients for reading materials are "wordly" and flowery. Enough lexicon, hundred thousand words at least in 500 pages book. Although in the business of film-making when time is of the essence dialogue is cut off giving only "lines that are more vital or important for the viewers to understand the sequencing of the whole story. This goes for action, suspense thrillers and science fiction and fantasy genre kind of films. If you're a fan of Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter movies you'll notice that there are only few good lines being said by the characters, because the director is more focused on cinematography, special effects and what else your eyes could SEE. Because you know what? Not too many old people watch movies nowadays. The movies are now settled for younger viewers. Older people ages 40 and above wont even finish a 2 hour length movie nor a 1 and half movie because they don't have enough patience. Actually the truth is they will watch movies and halfway through such viewing they will snore loud and clear to have other viewers be contaminated with the "tsetse fly." No pun intended but really some movies are such a bore you'll sleep the moment  > the cast have long dialogue and when the musical score needs further review and when you wake up ... OMG! Is it OVER?

That's all folks!? Go away doomsday badviews, bad news and scenarios. Go away rumor-mongerers of end of the world! It's GOODBYE 2011 > HELLO @ 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 It's 2012 and mind 'ya it's YEAR OF THE DRAGON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exuberant colorful world. Flambuoyant majestic entrance to the New World 3. It's gonna be an explosion of colors, bright and spectacular instead of the usual black, white and brown. There should be  of vibrant LIVE sublime ethereal colors that can make you dance for joy, jump, kick, jog and run. Isn't that what makes you feel alive?
