The Project Never Ends

Quilt and quilting? Oh darn goodness haven't try that yet. Nor do I have the patience to do such quilting. Uhm, maybe when I grow old. As soon as I turned 65 maybe that would help me create quilts. Age and ageing is simply hard to resist because we're all going there. You think you can live forever?

The great thing about quilting is in this community of only few seniors indulge in quilt making and for me to join them might lead them not to join. They might think disturbing their own "quiet time." Ya you know I'm all that into curiosity when I ask a lot of question. I'm like a curious child asking too much questions. Well not those stupid questions I'm not stupid he he he! I am always politically correct and they don't want me to question them leading them to troubles.

That's why I concentrate on doing my own sewing at home. Just me! Alone by myself working on my project that goes on and on trying to keep me busy all the time. I'm on my double quarter life. My uranium plutonic power is at stake. OMG! Okay don't let it alarm you. It's just a mere expression. Nothing serious. My mild use of expression is sometimes out of this world not because I watch too much "Big Bang Theory" or I read Newton and Einstein's books. I am not trying to be bookies. I am just mentally and psychologically alert of my environment. I wonder what the Minister of Environment doing nowadays? See that kind of intriguing question. My inquiry always lead me to change the weather. Ooppss...not me changing the weather. It just happened. Ask GOD about it not me.

So my continuation of my sewing project minding my own business. Measure to be sure. Fit in to the skirt, shorts, dress...later shop for more fabric. Going to the one and only fabric store is such a pain. I frequently go there and every time they asked if I am a member. I was a member last year and the card expired. Membership is only good for one year. Twenty dollars membership good for one year only. Too many discounted fabric for perusal. Lots to choose from actually. Problem over there is looks like sales clerks cannot remember names and face of their customers. I am a good customer. I don't know what's wrong. Can't blame them if they always ask. Maybe that's a strict compliance to the nature of their business. I like their fabric even if they are expensive so I decided to be a member again. Just for the "fabric." The textile.  That's the only thing I missed in the Philippines, you can haggle with almost everything until the clerks and vendors can lower the price of commodities (with few exceptions). One thing that I have to advise the sales clerk of this community to BE GOOD WITH YOUR CUSTOMER. Customer and consumers are the buyers of goods and services. Without them your business is nothing.

Here is a picture of the pants that sewn the other day. Oh my I look like a surgeon. lol I also finished two head cap or bonnets made of knitted fabric material with bow at the back.

 

1. Just timely to the point of my sewing project and the vest that I'm wearing coincide with my next plot for my story-writing project. Yes it's always called PROJECT. My idea.

Next? Let see who follows and who can follow.  Why? Ask them why.

LEGbook

 If there's a Facebook there's a LEGbook. Oh well just riding to Angelina Jollie's famous leg. My legs not famous compared to her legs but I have legs too!

Truth is I just love my slippers and  thong sandals that fit snuggly to my feet. Happy real happy feet.

I think I'm bragging so much in another blogsite which made the wind roar in laughter. Hehe! Yeah actually the wind blew so hard that the bench outside the yard turned upside down. The cover for the barbecue stove fell on the ground, the patio table and many other stuff at the patio were blown away. If that happened in the Philippines galvanized iron will be flying in all direction. Thank goodness the yard fence was built sturdy enough not to fall apart.

Bragging. Yeah that word often been misquoted. Sometimes when telling the truth is not in compatible with other people as if when you are trying to make things right and honesty is your policy but for others it's more like an illusion of grandeur of just a brag, bragging, mahangin and mayabang.

One time, had a long distance call with my Mother and I was telling her a story and she seemed interested she thought I'm bragging. She said something to the effect that "malakas na ang hangin dito." What?! Oh she was kidding when she said that. Then I blurted I will have the wind over there then. Suddenly the line got cut off. Click! That's the last time I heard of any sound. What's happening I asked myself? Am I bragging when I said something unbelievable? I didn't call her again after that.  Then the next day I read the newspaper actually papernet (internet news) that there was a typhoon there, coincidentally in their area where the wind blew so hard, the storm hit the powerlines and their land line connection was smashed leaving the province out of power for months. Ngek! I was unable to sleep thinking about it. I believe it's just coincidence. Coincidentally that when I phoned over there there was a typhoon. Goodness why should I feel so worried about this.

This is me always worrying. I worry about almost anything. Anxiety is my twin sister. lol. It doesn't show on my face how worried I am when my children are in another place, school or having a field trip or on vacation where I'm not with them. The constant worrying bothers me that my head, my mind cannot stop thinking. To ease the pain of anxiety I keep myself busy. Working on my project: sewing, blogging, writing story, handicraft, drawing and other hobbies such as designing and photography make me worry free sort of these worthwhile remedy is good for the soul, and stress free. Not a bad idea, really. When you heard some other people who tends to get out of the house and galavant most of the time, drink alcohol and smoke which they said those vices are stress reliever for them would you buy such idea? We all have addiction, mine is different from them. Our opinion may vary from time to time depends on how we can adapt and adopt the situation and obstacles in life. Thank God for the computer somehow it relieves pain and tension too. My computer is now my bestfriend...I used to talk to her all the time. Indispensable tool who never get angry nor show any feelings but records most of the memory. Great companion. Who would have thought that a machine like this is more than its function in value? What a long memory and gigabytes. So...another one bites the dust once again.

Sewing crazy for the whole day and finished a nice black coat and black skirt with pleats. I'm just so happy to do something only then that my reminiscing was cut off by my son blurted out "what for dinner?" It was only 4:00 pm and I have already a plan for what we'll be having for supper. I had beef steak marinated in bbq sauce, there are plenty of vegetables, rice is usually a part of the menu and potatoes...we are fond of potatoes with sour cream stuffing, sprinkled with bits of bacon. Can't wait for supper he went to Tim Horton's and order doughnuts. The other day he can't wait and ordered food at Dairy Queen. Oh well 4 to 5pm is way too early for my supper. SIX O'CLOCK is my SUPPER TIME. That's what it should be. Then he compared me with his aunt. FGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheesy? You betcha it's so cheesy!

SERENDIPITY? The movie? Oh goodness! I love that movie. Too many signs, too many symbols and way too many significant portrayals of today's generation.. It's a love in unexpected places and how the complicated becomes uncomplicated. It's a good movie for two young lovers who not only are intelligent but also endowed with beautiful face. Maganda yung actress, guapo yung actor. Walang pangit sa movie na yun. That's the kind of movie I want to watch. Why should I watch ugly people? The reason why people want to watch movies it's because they want to see beautiful people. If there are some fuglees they have to use cover, like they have to cover their face with make up!

After World War II the whole world is fascinated with motion pictures. Hollywood movie stars are bankable and so as the LVN stars and Sampaguita stars. Mind 'ya they only promote about beauty and cleanliness. That beauty can move mountains. Only the mestizos and mestizas got leading roles. As a matter of fact this is not called racism because even ugly people admired the same quality of beauty. They want their children to look like their movie idols. Shallow? No. Not really. Beauty and brain is the most powerful combination after the war. Uber! That's the kind of mentality brought on by the atomic bomb. Aahahhahaah! Uhm I tried to find a book that resonates with that weird idea. That somehow after WWII the Japs IQ and Americans IQ has doubled. Hmmm----. Fishy eh?

Because I'm a happy camper right now, I'd rather have those sardines with a plate full of fresh tomatoes sprinkled with parmesan cheese, chopped thinly > parsley and spring onions. Oh great! Loving every bite of this "snack appetizer." Sprinkle with lots of montreal steak spices and greatly been appreciated by all of us here at my home.

Techy Fever!

Before I went to bed I'm already thinking of innovative idea and how I can make my blogging more fun and intellectually more appealing to readers. I envied other bloggers for having so much time able to deliver their blogs with much enthusiasm and more public outcry and dominance over other blogs in the internet. They offer not only free consultation but also offer FREE items or freebies such as free book, free textile or fabric, free computer and laptop... sad to say I don't offer freebies here. My blog is an information highway. If I'm a Nascar driver I'll be given an overspeeding ticket and maybe, I'll be warping space in the universe walloping space and time. But that's only been done using the sewing machine. Ha! That could be used as Time Machine don't you think? My new craft! Space craft in alliance with the superhuman power of tech.

I tackle most importantly on how I viewed things perspectively (in perspective) and accurately the way I see it and offer my own opinion with the problems at hand. I am not a faker nor faking any valued experience in the way I blog. Maybe my opinion is straightforward and maybe not in "reality." That's what you think. I am not dreaming as of this moment so it is not conscious (Unconscious). dreaming is unconscious and because I am wide awake > therefore I am in control of my self, id, ego and super ego combined. I am not a psycho however my forte if not Economics it deals with Psychology. I love to combine and mix them altogether. That's if you want me to have a base. A basis of inter-connecting two important subjects in dealing with paranormal. Paranormal is not in relation with Supernatural, no not that TV series. Though there is that Supernatural BC which Canadian broadcasters used to elaborate from time to time.  I will continue later since there is that sign about my keyboard's battery is in critical position wherein when overheated will  damage the  laptop computer. So have to go for now and don't forget to tune in with Mr. Roboto Styx. Ok? Ciao for now. Hasta la vista but its Windows 7 am using at the terminal.

Poltergeist?

 The view of our 4th house wherein we lived there only for few years ^. It was 2 storry-house. They call this type of house, a duplex or something. Another tenant resides under the house and it's not really that good and uncomfortable because you have limits of how you are to do your laundry, or use the stereo because it might disturbed the other tenants privacy. So we keep the minimal volume of our television, minimize the stereo's volume if possible not to use so that the noise wont blast their eardrums. That we also have to manage not to walk or run with heavy legs on the floor. There are times when I made loud noise because it's the boy downstairs making loud noise with their stereo as if the loud banging of its sound is crazy so loud enough for me to go ballistic. I had few tantrums screaming for them to stop the noise. It turned out they're having party with teenagers. I have teens too but they are not that loud.

One time the tenant asked me if I know how to sew. I said yes. He asked me to sew the edges of  pants (the lower part of the pants that needs edging or alteration) simple repair,  pants  belong to somebody. I didn't asked who's pants. It can't be his because the pair of pants looked like it belongs to a wrestler or fat guy. I asked my son to bring it to him after it was finished. I continued my sewing when suddenly my sewing machine stop abruptly. The needle split in half. Thank God it didn't hit my eye. The next day I started sewing again this time the needle went flying. I have to use eye cover, protective eyeglasses every time I need to sew.  Once again the needle got cut in half.  You know how many sewing machine needle been split in half? Way too many for you to count. More than 50!!!! What happened is ...it seems to me that there is somebody switching off the fuse. It's like kind of power shut off or power failure. Somebody is switching off the plug or the fuse. In that house!!!!!!!!

Weird! Creepy! Do you think rats will do something nasty? Do you think that there's a ghost in  that house? Do you think that there are poltergeist roaming in that house? I don't believe in ghost. It's just that maybe, maybe, oh never mind. This is just me being very suspicious. And there is nothing wrong with being suspicious...

Anyway, I told you we moved already from that house. We are in another area which I called Area 51. Ha ha ha! See I can laugh of the many obstacles in my life. I cannot be a couch potato I will move on and still do what makes me busy and loving every minute of sewing. Although I'll probably be happy if I have a mannequin for my project. It's easier to measure and cut fabric and fit it into the mannequin.

I can do my project and still be able to watch TV news and or watch movies at the comfort of my new home. Although my daughter complains a 3 bedroom house is really a not so big house for her.

Who Is The Better Trail Guide?

 ASH WEDNESDAY today. Faithful Roman Catholics will surely fall in line whether it's a long line just to get a mark of a cross on their forehead. You'll never know maybe millions of Filipinos will have their foreheads marked with ash. According to the old devotees or faithful to their religion that holy ash is sacred. What they don't know is once you have that "mark" you should avoid and stop eating any kind of meat. You are forbidden to eat pork, beef, chicken or any kind of meat from animals. Therefore you are only allowed to eat vegetables, fruits and fish. This is the Roman Catholic way of "fasting." The fasting last until Easter Sunday. Then a big feast followed, eat all you can Sunday on this day is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In today's world, only few knew that. Only few faithful knew that the mark of ash on their forehead is about abstinence also. Will they follow the religious rite or they just want to show that they are Catholic? Let us ask Marvin he he he! Oh no! He's got a headache. He can't answer that question.

 What about Inuyasha? He being a demon god?! A samurai, good warrior though. Can he guide us to the narrow path? Uhm maybe we have to ask his producer and creator. Is he a bushido?

 Or maybe this cute little maltese will show us the way. Oh nah, she's so firmly sitting like a princess on the floor. She only knows how to make herself pretty. Oh isn't she adorable? I wont mind having this cute little princess maltese. I can always comb her hair make it flappy and shiny. Pour lots of hair conditioner Suave making her gorgeous fur shiny, clean and flexible so good to touch. Yeah I love this pet I wont mind her walking and running inside my house. Or we can go outside and have some fun.

 What about these two cutiepies? Aren't they so loveable too? Goodness having those two creatures will make your day having to run around like crazy in all direction. Surely you don't need to exercise at VI Fitness. These two huggables will keep you crazy all day and all nite. I bet they're terrible horrible!

 Now what? 2010 is finished! The mascots are back to their showcase window. But what you don't know are what those four mascots signify. Each mascot has point of direction. To find out the code will only terrify your senses. Stop breaking the code.

Okay, found time to wrestle my way back to my old singer sewing machine. Two pairs of potholders were made yesterday. I am posting this one pair of potholder for your perusal. Nice logo and symbols right in time for my adventure in the kitchen. Browsing to the recipe book and planning ahead of time.

Spring is in early. Too many early signs. Oh well, it's gonna be hot today. Early sunrise... and maybe early sunset?

Food For Thought. Food For The Gods!

 Of course I cannot resist the sweetness of  Dole fruit salad. Variety of fruits: cherries, mangoes, peaches and nectarines, apples, grapes, banana, pineapple, papaya, oranges. All these sliced fruits where mixed with Nestle cream and Carnation condensed milk. The best dessert ever! Economical way to have good nutritious dessert after a hearty lunch and supper. You can have it also for afternoon and midnight snack.

 I usually bought the big can of Dole fruit cocktail in 2.84 L (100 fl oz) It's better to have the big can than those small cans. More slices of fruits inside. That's when apple cannot give you enough knowledge.

GO away problem! I hate problems. I have to cheer up myself with these kind of food. Food for thought. Food for the gods. Yeah great good food drives away unruly problems and negativity brought by many people whose face are broadcasted on TV. People who are not having good vibes with what should be the better way to tackle dispute. Having problems with becoming a "good bridge" or middleman but rather keep bringing in bad karma. What's wrong with those people? It's sickening! People who have problem communicating with the rest of the world should resign or back off. People who cannot communicate properly with their own family should not be accepted as administrator in the government. My God! You people should watch "The Last Samurai" and if you're started to stink please take a bath and clean yourself. Cleaning yourself, cleansing yourself with clean water, soap and changing clean ironed clothes makes a difference. It can move mountains and can ironed out wrinkles away. Enough of the chuhuahua! Okay I'll have my guinataang hipon with squash and eggplant.

My son and I was shocked upon seeing the purple mark on Lorne's eye above the eyelid. I couldn't help screamed. I kept on asking what happened to him. My son and husband told me to keep quiet and not to worry. Why I have not to worry when I see something like that it keeps me disturbed. I cannot help thinking who my husband's enemy? Who did it to him? What happened? He had an accident? What? I cannot questioned him further because both of them tried to pacify me not to ask question. But why? Don't I have the right to know? Who punched his eye? It was like he had a boxing match or had a fight with somebody but who and with whom? I don't know of anybody who dislike my husband or who's his enemy? I asked again when my son was away not to interrupt with my inquiry. He told me that it's probably his blood pressure is too high and "breaks" small nerves or veins on the left side of his face. My God that scares me. I was thinking he's not telling me the truth. Maybe he was hit with "something" like a flying golf ball. My husband is a carpenter and working on his contractual work  finishing the construction of a four bedroom house somewhere close to the golf course. Maybe that's what it is.

Or maybe it is really a high blood pressure. I hate questioning him again making me look like paranoid. I'm already been paranoid with too many hackers here in the internet and adding so many problems will end up me having a heart attack. I'm not young anymore. I myself should be liberated from all the troubles here. With those writers complaining about technophobia and being technophobic which happened to be a subject of discussion by another blogger and TV anchor news men and woman on one channel.

This morning after having breakfast of buttered toasted bread, slices of ham and eggs with hot brewed coffee of course proceeded to my computer desk after feeding the members of my family. I was about to panic when my computer (laptop) didn't move a bit. No lights coming out even if it's ON. What happened to my laptop. It looks dead! I unhooked the switches wirings, checked the plugs maybe the connection is loose not tight. I remember I just touched the mouse and everything lights on automatically. I pressed the on button and no light coming out as if the laptop is dead. Something is wrong here. Thinking of the repair and tune up once again will cost me $50.00 or depends on what's the cause will eventually lead me to pay hundred dollars maybe just like what happened in the past. For you know, just a consultation here for repair is costly. I tried to unplug the wirings again. Then pressed hard the on button for a minute not seconds. Eureka! Now my laptop is back to normal. Whew! Crazy laptop!

Hmm----isn't that what happened to my computer laptop the first time I used it? I mean the exact cause of  > I cannot figure out what really happened to the laptop and I had it referred to the computer expert in that store? It took three days for them to figure out and I paid fifty dollars plus tax.

Just Another Story

Once there was a novelist whose criteria of novella writing is having a patient secretary who knows short hand. The author would like his novel so secured because he is very technophobic. He doesn't rely on the modern gadgets, doesn't believe in the safety and security on using computer, laptop, iPod or any modern tech equipment to record his stories. He knew that it's easy for hackers to hack anything that's being put up, posted or written or stored in computer. Despite that so called anti-virus, anti spyware software installed in the computer as protection. So he hired a stenographer to do it for himself storing all the stories he wants to make into books. STENO. Short hand. The same kind of steno records of what's being discussed inside the court to protect the victims, the accuser, prosecutor, and the accused. If you'll noticed inside the court there is the presence of the stenographer who records everything, every details of what is being said by all those involved in the case:
1. Accused
2. Police escort
3. Barrister
4. Judge
5. Clerks of the Court
^
Anyway, that's not really the point of discussion here but of the story between the stenographer and the author. So he relied so much on the stenographer's short hand to record his novel and he knew it will be protected that no one can able to decipher what the story is all about until the time of publishing and until the time the book is published in public.

However, what happened to the record in paper whether it was of steno production? Well the stenographer went home once stormy weather, out from the taxi, about to step out from the open door car, the wind blew mightily so hard, and her portfolio and attache case was blown away by unruly wind. The attache case was abruptly opened when it fell near the drain on the ground. She was shocked but able to grab some the paper scattered on the ground. She was screaming nervously, crying thinking of the amount of what was put into the making of that novel.   Too late though, the water got them all wet, including the whole steno book containing the author's record of novel. Months of storing the data, months of protecting the data gone to waste. The stenographer tried to re-write it on how she understand his novel as it was dictated to her anyway  but the right words and the right timing on how the writer's able to have the plot and the suspense in every details are gone. For it's only the true real writer or author who can put back the life in his own story. For only a good writer who can save his own words in details, the correct account of the whole story because it belongs to him. ONLY him alone knows his own story and only him who can do justice to his own story.


P.S. The story above is actually an old movie. I forgot the title and the actor and actress. It was a movie not even seen in the cinema maybe it was not approved or in this generation wherein MOVIES are not really much of value to the moviegoers because of too much piracy and you can view them thr. the net or through TV channels offering daily specials on many old and new movies.

Valentines come and go and will never stay for the rest of our lives. The memories will live forever in our hearts yes. We have HEARTS! We cannot live without a heart. The heart pumps the blood so that it can flow to the many veins inside our body parts and through our brain so that we can all think rationally. Yes dude rationally!

So that's the best way to tackle that day filled with red and pink hearts. You can extend the love day by promoting more of it commercially especially if you are selling greeting cards and variety of gifts for people in love. Call me a bitch or rather hopeless romantic but I don't make this day like as if it's an important holiday. Valentine's Day is not to be compared with Christmas and Birthdays. Get the idea?

So let's get moving and get on to the most important things in life. MOVING ON process. Moving on and moving forward so that our minds wont get stuck with not so important aspect of living. I will continue to blog here at THE CONSCIOUS MIND because this is my favorite blog. I will surely keep LEMONADE FOREVER, INK Atbp, FOREVER TV, NEWS & MOVIES.  I stop blogging and writing at LA TAVERNA and will just concentrate to write stories using notebook and pens with ink of course. I will try to discover and blog some valuable idea and stories which I think my readers could benefit from these medium.

Also I happened to read one particular blog from UK where that blogwriter has to pay $150/blog for a yearly sub for one year at Wordpress. Then on Blogger (Blogspot) he's to pay $10/year of blog subscription. Really? Am I reading it right? When both sites advertised FREE Blogs. Maybe the reason why he needs to pay for the blogs its because he's not into the "pool" or rather he is solo in his blogging owning the website to himself. Unlike if you are associated with the whole blogging community it makes the site FREE and you don't need to pay. Hmm---who is more expert in explaining this to me?

With all the Novellas I have written and the blogs that I have written I should be compensated or paid for such blogs and stories don't you think? Could it be that the writer in another site is earning from his blogs and he used it as a platform to advertise his own books reason why he needs to pay for that site? Beside his blog has commentary box wherein it is open for the many links and opinions of others thereby it accumulated traffic and weight of the conversation piled up in gigabytes of info and data. That he needs to fairly PAY for such troubles ain't it?

Happy Valentine's Day!

 Having so much fun with cookies and cupcakes. Found an ideal way to use them for greeting cards the unique incredible way. It was totally fun. They served multi-purpose of cheering your loved ones on this very special day of LOVE.

Fashion Is My Passion

Keeping myself busy once again. As long as there's fabric I wont be idle. I wish for bundles, tons of textile. Any fabric, any textile, any color and texture as long as it keeps me busy the whole day through.

 And I gathered few retazo from the old trunk and had fun so much fun that I was consumed by this obsession almost forgot that I have so many things to accomplish.

Life is not about sewing. It's not always to be one particular hobby, there should be a way out to do something else aside from the usual.

I can go shopping for clothes, new dress, skirt or pants or for whatever the occasion calls for. The problem is there's no particular dress that I really like to those where I shopped before. They don't have what I really like. So the only possible way is to shop for fabric and make my own clothes that will fit me and will be of good taste to my fuzzy choosy taste. I am not conservative nor do I have conservative taste when it comes to clothing, when it comes to fashion. I want to be "in fashion" without breaking the bank nor hurt my pocket or purse. I have an upbeat type fashion that is not conservative nor ultra modern. I am in between of what is just appropriate for my age. That's the problem. Department stores don't have that good sense when it comes to fashion for the middle aged people. They thought when you're over 40 you should wear  your grandma's clothing and accessories. People grow old but their sense of fashion and passion never dies. It lives forever.

V Map

When somebody wants to break your bank they will break it so that they can run. But how much is too much? OMG! Cracker! Cracker jack! Lobster! Lobsters or crabs?

Bamboo, Bamboo

 Bamboo? Oh I love bamboo! The swaying gently of bamboo as it dances with the wind...quite classic and fascinating. Lovely as the breezy wind like a swiftly gently caress of hundred strings...

Really the greenery site of these lovely giant grass is amazing to the point of an endless reverie lost to its majestic arrays and rows of green sturdy poles. Then seeing those humble bearlike creatures huggable nibbling bits and pieces of bamboo shoots and helplessly questioned yourself why on earth these pandas love bamboos? How those gnawing teeth can able to eat those bamboos? Aren't they so sturdy and tough woodlike piece of meal? Don't they get hurt with its spiky brushy stem and leaves? I couldn't believe how pandas live through such kind of food. It is too confusing for me to comprehend. Have you eaten bamboo yet? Pandas eat raw young bamboo shoot.

I'm no panda but I was lucky enough to cook and eat bamboo shoot. Of course the young bamboo shoot which you have to slice thinly into tiny pieces sauteed with spices:garlic, onions on hot boiling cooking oil then you can add a kilo of minced pork, shredded ginger and pig's blood (clean blood). Add chilis to savour the good flavor. This special menu is great with steamed rice bun called puto.

 Chinese love panda for it's a symbol of Chinese filial love and devotion to cute animals. Chinese are fond of the "good image and reputation" as the standard of their goodwill, stability and success when it comes to business. Chinese people are business-minded oriented people who value their business wisely as it compares to their relationship with their family. Close-knit family ties matter and it shows on their business relationship and attitude should matter the same way.

Well not that you don't watch Jackie Chan's movie eh?
So those movies explain what I'm telling you here in my blog. Watch his movies and you'll find out what should be the right conduct in business dealing with the Chinese.

I feel like am the drunken master now just by looking at those crystal set of goblets. Yep pure crystal wine jar and goblets. I have just cleaned and polished them. Husband brought them from the old house. Actually from my Mother-in-law's collections.

Japanese bamboo at the background. Proven to be lucky fortune bamboo from school. Is it really Japanese or Chinese altogether? Japs and Chinese shares the same alphabet > characters. Pika! Pikachu. Pika tzu! While Filipinos alphabet originated from Sanskrit which is originally East Indian alphabet. Oh well no wonder Confucius is confused. Here comes Einstein with theory of relativity and FUSION happened at an alarming rate.

Oh why not you J U M P !

How I know your move? Why I know your move, the way you move? Maybe I am a strategist! I played CHESS so much when I was at a very young age. Also it takes to be a wide reader to know and increase knowledge. KEEP ON READING! Make me laugh. Even news on TV is catching up with us  >>> Bloggers! Gotta eat lots of bamboo with blood. Ahahahahaha! Dinuguan. WTH is that? Young bamboo shoot with pig's blood?! Yuck! OMG!

Shop Till You Drop?

After I posted the sentiments I had my telephone rings and well the "usual suspect" phoned me. You know she's always the first one to being aware of the consequences. Guilty agad eh. He he. Maybe afraid.

Afraid that her conscience will bother her again and wont be able to sleep. Okay enough of this time to change the topic.

It was before New Year when my son wants to rent a DVD from Blockbuster only to be upset that the big DVD store shuts down. What do you mean I asked him. It turned out the big store closed down for good. They are out of business in our tiny community of less that 50,000 people. Then I think about how that store will close down. I looked at our TV and and the connection and how much we paid for monthly subsc. to the T. network. Hundred dollars per month as payment with at least more than 50 channels to choose from and at least five movie channels. One VOD channel wherein you can order a newly released movie and watch it at the convenience of your home. But you have to pay extra for thsese movies on VOD. One movie costs $5.00 or $7.00 depends on the company's price per showing. You can click it right thr. your TV with the help of your remote control gadget. That's plain easy to control and you'll receive the details of payment at the end of the month. So with this kind of  easy access Blockbuster is no longer the store of choice here in this community. You don't need to drive going to that store. Is that good?

Then the news of Zellers closing down is a surprise also. It's a Hudson company. Uhm, what's happening? Big box store buying smaller stores or rather this is sort of integrating two stores in one. With the big box store Target from the USA coming here to Canada competing with the many stores here the competition will be such a fascinating rounds of discount items. That could be it. Very competitive. It's like they have to provide new gimmicks for their customers. It's like a "food fight" and be the resources of  mind 'ya "intelligence" if there is. lol

Zellers + Walmart getting married. Assumed that's the real deal. Getting bigger and wiser! Then Target ? Is Target a good company? Let us see and find out.

If they can copy the popularity and convenience of SHOEMART of Philippines the deal could have been sweeter, wiser and popular. What Shoemart got? They have the convenience of an Edmonton Mall so big that you'll become a dwarf to its arcade of  "everything in it in one store,  it has the food court, supermarket, parking space, park and amusement park, it's like a big community in a covered space." You can fit in a golf cart and drive through it while you shop. Can you build a commercial establishment like that?

If that happens maybe it's a shop till you drop scenario...all over again.

There is something WRONG with my Google account. What more is that there is something wrong with my Blogger account. I don't know if I am the only one experiencing such version, the new version of Blogger. I like the original Blogger account at first it was complicated but as the time goes by it was easy to comprehend and easy to work on. Then they changed the format having new theme which they allowed other artists to manipulate the "theme and layout." It was nice! It was more modern and the settings are truly fascinating as you can choose the many ways you can practice creativity, however the problem here is the multiple sign- ins. In this multiple sign -ins there's a chance that others or other people can see the many important documents that are private. The private matters that belong to your family are viewed by so many hackers. I don't mind if my own children or my husband reading what's inside my email address because they are my family. What's troubling is "who are the many viewers" who can snoop through it? It's like having a mailbox and your mails, sealed envelopes are being opened by other people. Would you believe that? That is scary. There are so many stories I have written here in the blog and that's open for public viewing so why these "others I don't even know" will view what's inside the email address? Are you aware of that? Are you aware that people you don't know can view what's inside the email address of somebody else?

What are Blogs? What are Facebook account format? You all can view what's every account user wants to divulge and you can read them publicly. So that's not enough? Why hack? What is the problem with these hackers? Do they sell information and for what? What's the price and prize of such selling info?

What is there to hide? Some they showed almost everything. They showed how poor they are. They've got nothing to hide. They showed their organs already! What they have to know? It's getting weird here in the net. The only reason why we're here is just the cheapest form of entertainment and if you can provide us with better entertainment so why you have to snoop our emails? FGS! Insanity is your plead?

Yeah I know of these "stalkers" they are also stealing my blood. I hope they don't change the result of my blood and urine sample because I will hunt them even to the grave.

Hmm---I felt like LJW who is so bluntly notorious for her vajayjay's monologue. Now I feel like creepy now too because of these controversial bloggers who are nota shamed of what they are writing just to please their readers. Well, there is no problem with "style and substance" and her style is more than upbeat, frank and without a doubt down to earth. Substance? Is there any? I think it was an after effect of her vices? Is it?

 I don't have any vices except that I write too much even if I'm asleep. You know...
