TRUTH IS...

Isn't that so shocking that a student be removed from the "Grad. List" because of not finishing the Career exploration from High School? When that same student been accepted already for a career in College?

Is VOLUNTEERING a Career Exploration? Darn!

Strange! Weird! Bizarre! Mind boggling!! Mythbuster!

Really so crazy here now on this planet Earth.

I once said to my son that he doesn't need to VOLUNTEER. The word volunteer is such a painful reminder of what happened in the past WORLD WAR I and II. It is because of those volunteers that the war became a dark reflection of all mistakes and wrongdoings. It is because of those volunteers that there were millions of death. When there's no volunteer there is no war.

In today's world, time and age why volunteer when you wont gain anything other than it's good for the resume? Really? Not at all. They have experience already from the kind of work they are doing at school. My son provide an extra lunch hour on computer work for the sake of fulfilling what the school provides. Even the teacher told us about that. Then having another teacher saying a different opinion is simply ridiculous. On the job training based on what you are doing at school is already a "volunteerism." It's already an act of volunteerism whatever the students are doing at school esp. when it comes to ART.  Students already volunteered to be the "students" for these teachers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Career exploration when it comes to practicality using your knowledge in Science is there you have to volunteer maybe especially its because that requires specialization. When it comes to ART no amount of specialization is required when being gifted with the arts is within that person, within his genes. You know what I mean? In other words artistic talent is based on acquired skills through his genes. Well just like me...my skills and talent is inBORN. I was born with artistic talent. Is that sort of bragging? Aahahahah. It's true! I'm not being Napoleonic with my bragging technique. I was born with it.

I have the bragging rights and some people hate my guts.

Okay people hate me and you'll suffer earlier than what you need to have for Lent. I am so upset with these people trying to upset me everyday. Play your game somewhere. Play your Angels and Demons in your own home. Battle with your demonic personality if you want. Who cares eh?

It's Now Or Never

I am not a headline grabber either, Mr. Evhead. Although you've been called EV by your friends and colleagues in the social network and blogging community it pains me to know that somewhere out there they seemed to have compared with somebody else even if I already mentioned in my Facebook account that I am not her. Why I'm so furious about this? Because I don't like somebody copying me. I don't know about you. I don't care if she is a celebrity or famous. Really it's sickening to the point that I felt like wearing a mask instead.

I am who I am. There's nobody like me. But since Facebook becomes so rampant even my names have "identicals." Imagine having the same name as mine. FGS! I remember not being able to log in to my account because they thought I am not that person. Crazy huh.

Why I'm so bothered about this? You want to know? Because of particular reasons that may seemed too obvious. Because she is more popular than me people might think I am copying her. Secondly people might think that everything about my blog's idea belongs to her. I have stalkers already who tried to harm me in the past because of having to be a "look-alike" of such star.

She is a star! Alright. I am the SUN. Who is more powerful then? Anyway that seems so rude of me to imply such thing. My feeling of anxiety is kicking in and I am in panic. lol. Where's my panic room plsssssssssssss. Hmp! Not that being OA here it's just that I am more than hurt by somebody who also featured what I said (message> comment) being posted on her Facebook account. Wow! How that happened? Why she looks like me? Is she a relative of mine? Did she ever have plastic surgery? Because I know of somebody who looks like me and she had plastic surgery. Or she is copying me because my face is already the same face I have ever since except that there are camera tricks before that tend to portray me as having "dark skin" and those with dark skin have whiter skin than me. I noticed that during my childhood when my childhood friends have whiter skin than me when in fact and the truth is they have darker skin and their parents have darker skin. That allowed me to question the validity of photographs long time ago. I'm not being racist. I am questioning such case. I have the right to know.

Anyway, I'd like to think of the story about that young Indian guy named Sajid Khan and the American boy who are running away and on a journey together with the elephant and the baby albino elephant. They covered the albino elephant with darker dye as disguised.

What story got to do with my own life? Well this is my life! Right on THIS IS MY LIFE!

THIS IS MY LIFE and not for you to mess up!

Life Goes On

THE CONSCIOUS MIND the very conscious mind. Dunno when to end this. Even the question being asked at Facebook is "What's on your mind?"

I could have just end it with that book of Tom Clancy then what will happen? My blog will be about Tom Clancy not my blog? It will be his story not my own story? Readers might think it's Tom's mind not my mind. In fairness it's the book that I read from time to time when I've got nothing to do. Or let say I like the ending of the book, of the novel. And because he is a famous author of famous books and his novels were made into blockbuster hit movies such as the movie for Harrison Ford's the "Patriot Games." Then the movie for Sean Connery's "Hunt For Red October." Many famous movies were made under Tom Clancy's movie and OP CENTER also is a sure winner and a big hit. Yeah I admire this guy. I wish I am a brilliant writer just like him.

So not because I'm too lazy to write but because my blog, this blog was busy for sometime. I don't know why. Now that it's my turn to write something here then it's best to blogpost whatever I have in mind. My mind wont be out of data...that's for sure.

I have so many things, stuff, stories in my mind > conscious and unconscious. There is nothing to say like writing I'm out of idea. That's a BS. There is no such thing as being out of idea. There is always something interesting to write. Just you see something incredible  or somebody to plug or voice out your innermost feelings and what will happen in the next few days then that's part or piece of any readable written material for me to deal with.

If I'm not busy here then I'll be very busy in another blogs. That's how the "busyness" here in the internet highway. A writer will always be a writer. I consider myself a writer and more of a blogger. However being a GHOSTWRITER is more enriching and more mysterious I think. How's that to you? Would that better in the first place. Nothing to worry when somebody more "verbal in public forum and has more appealing personality can represent me. "  Hmmm---I'll think about this. I have this upbeat personality and my PR is somewhat not charismatic. You know...me with my too snobby personality. Truth is I am just too shy and you may not aware that MOST of the writers are actually timid, shy and unverbal > not very verbal as if being unfriendly. That's the normal trait of novelist or writers in the truest sense of the word. I don't know why. You wont believe that some of them are autistic. That's why they need representation. You know what I mean? Some of them have literary agent to have their "career be lifted up" to where it should be something they truly deserved.

Rarely you can see and meet the true authors of books. It would be hard to find an author who is more than verbal, literally verbal, outgoing, and sociable. Most of the novelists are "Einstein's personality trait." Oh no! Now that's funny! I am talking about scientists who are nerdy and geeky. Somehow their written articles are to themselves alone and were then compiled by their colleagues. That's how it happened. Compilation of literary written works hidden in vaults then actually worth more than bushels and acres of wheat. Now you know where that "wit" comes from.

Color me PINK for good health. That's the natural color of cerebrum and cortex.

Fun With Reading

Uhm all of a sudden there's a computer glitz here at Blogger. I wonder why. Looks like in time with the loud enermous chanting there on TV. Democratic way to air their grievances, balancing the act and well timely for the political arena here in Canada to be active and back in gear. Voting. Election for a new NDP Leader.

You know that after Mr. Jack Layton died,  politics here is so lame and dead. Mr Layton was the only charismatic hardworking politician who liked to stir the youth's aim, ambition and what they want for their country. He was so active despite his cancer ailment. He was so inspirational in his personal deliverance. His message was heard loud and clear and he was the INSPIRATION of many Canadians, of many new immigrants. Hope that his legions will prosper and progress to have a better Canada.

We need a strong leader a this point in time when the leader is not so active anymore. We need a good great leader who's got the voice. We need somebody whom we can understand and we can talk with our problems economically and politically. Somebody who doesn't shy away from politics and new strategy. Somebody who is smart and tactical. Tactical to practical. Any Canadian or new immigrant, any resident here in Canada would like to have a LEADER with the same aspiration, the same charisma, the same vigor, similar goals, platform, agenda and has the PLAN for good society esp. the plan for a great economy. Too many unemployed even the skilled workers are unemployed. What should be done? More sports? More singing and dancing? More runs and relays? Darn! Time to open the pulp mill.  It's the mill that we need here.

I said my words. You can have your say whatever you want. You can have your power play and who's play will be obeyed?

Time to read. Re-read my favorite book by Tom Clancy.

Go ahead make your day!

I'll do it my way.

The Best WONton For Sure!

 My children love wonton so much yet I only make this kind of Chinese food occasionally. Know why? It's painstakingly requires "concentration" not to mess up any piece of dainty wonton wrapper. Each package has 50 pcs. of small square wrappers inside. You might as well buy two packages. One package for wonton soup and one package for siomai or dimsum.

The above photo showcase > are the ingredients for making wonton soup.

50 pcs. Wonton wrapper in one pkg.
1 kilo of ground pork
3 pcs. shredded garlic
1 pc. shredded onion
4 stalks of celery (fresh)
1 big carrot or 4 pcs of shredded chestnuts >optional
chopped spring onions just right amount
chopped parsley just right amount - stalks at least
2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp pepper or Montreal steak spices
1 beaten egg
10 pcs. of prawns

If you don't like shredding the garlic, ginger, onions and celery you can use your kitchen blender to chop them into tiny pieces.

Mix all the ingredients. Use clean hand gloves for mixing the ingredients into the one kilo ground pork in a big stainless bowl. Pour a little bit amount of China Lilly soya sauce (2 tbsp). Mix and blend the ingredients properly. Once mixed time to scoop a teaspoon of the mixed ingredients into the wonton wrapper. Once you mould them into a cone like- shape or like a lollypop shape set them aside on a big plate. Boil them one by one on hot boiling water using a big casserole on a hot stove of course. That's for 15 to 20 minutes depends on how hot  the fire on your gas stove is. Don't let the wonton get saggy because you'll have to boil them again on hot boiling water with chicken bullion or chicken broth.

 Here is the result of my special Wonton Soup. Yummy perfection good to the last bite. The taste of the wonton soup is great you'll come back for another bowl of wonton soup, that's for sure.

 You wonder what are the ingredients for Wonton Soup... Whatever you can see on the picture above.


Boiled Wontons
1 head  of chopped onion or (cubed)
3 slices of ginger
15 pcs of snowpeas
12 pcs of bokchoy leaves
chopped spring onions for garnishing
1 tbsp of salt
1 tbsp of pepper
8 cups of water
10 cups of water with chicken broth in it. Stir it properly so the savory taste blends with the veggies

Serve it HOT!

You don't like the Wonton Soup? No problem. You can have the Siomai or Dimsum (without the soup)  and dip it on a sauce filled with your favorite Kikkoman sauce. Have a refreshing ice cold softdrink COCA-COLA!

Not enough? Go with your family out on a treat and pay your cooked food in a Chinese restaurant. Let see if you'll enjoy the same kind of treatment. No hassle, no sweat? All I know when I prepare meal for my family it's worth it. It's clean! Safe! It's tasty and the FOOD is just right!

Time To Relax

For good relaxation technique? READ books. Go over your favorite books from your bookcase especially in time like this > It's already Spring and here comes the snow again. Oh my what a very strange weather we have here in Canada.

I know some people here doesn't like Spring and they don't even like Summer. Know why? They are not adapted yet to warm and hot weather or climate. I for myself doesn't like hot weather. I freak out when it's so hot here as if my blood boils and goes up in my head. Then headache and tantrums ...nobody likes hot temperature. I would like a cooler temp. Besides what's the point of having hot climate then we'll have to turn on the air conditioner and fan. Whatever! Arte ko no? Maarte rin kasi ang mga tao dito so fair lang.

Outside is cooler again. Snowy outside. OK lang. Children enjoys cooler breeze you know. Ah I can breathe better you know. Think of it as being inside the fridge. Half belongs to the cooler side and the other half belongs to the freezer. The earth should be just like that half and half winter zone and hot zone then provide cooler zone or lukewarm just fairly good enough for all living entities. We need a freezer on earth so that you can store your "reserves." Or else the earth will turn into prunes, wrinkled and lifeless.

It's Time To Sew

 It's time to sew one more time. When life is so boring in this part of the world and there are no people who's got the same mentality that you have it's time to do something different from them. When all they can post is their knowledge about ONE language better to stay away and escape from the brouhaha and boredom. Here I am wearing my newly sewn blue blouse with pink ribbon. It took me only less than an hour to have it made. That's simple.

It wont do anything good for your mental health issues if you will have your mind thinking about people who are not in your own "club." Yeah I'm not in their club, lol sad to say. They are full of cliche trying to be or pretending to be rich and trying hard to be in alta -sociedad. Ngek! Really? OMG! Sosyal!

I'm not sosyal. Tutuong tao ako. See mag isa lang ako sa mundo ko. I am not trying to impress anyone or all of you. Sino ba ako? Basta ako happy ako sa work ko dito sa Blogger. I'm not competing with them. Who are they? Sino ba sila? If its a competition here in Blogger they should give awards or recognition. As a matter of fact the founders of Blogger  "moved on" noon pa because they too felt the pressure. It is stressful being a blogger here at Blogger. Too many competitors. I don't look at them as competitors actually I compete with myself. It's me Vs Me. It's me against all the Blogs that I created.

Also if you are concerned about my language it's because it's my "Vernacular" I am using. See that word "VERNAcular." That means I am using my own language!

Now if you want VERNAL EQUINOX that too was conceived upon at the time of my birth. Copying is forbidden but Verna Equinox is admired by many non-pagan entities maybe you as a religious human beings knew how that happened and how some stupid changed Vernal Equinox into Spring Equinox. How awful that is.

So please get real.

 My closet. My newly sewn blue long party gown. Even pikachu like that dress. lol

 Well oh well time for me to do some ironing. After laundry time it's time to iron.

After a day's work at home here's the consolation prize > a bar of chocolate! That's my day. And how's your day today?

Did you do something good? Did you make your readers happy by reading your work blog? What your readers learned from you? Did they get "pissed?" Did you make them cry and yelled F*****! or BS! What made you the most awesome amazing blogger or author of books? Did they learn from your blog, books, or blogpost? What have you taught to the readers of your blog aside from nonsense rumor and gossip? Did you teach them to move forward or backwards?

In other words...you have to be full of talents. You should have amazing multiple skills to entertain your readers. They may not participate in the conversation yet they might apply what they learned from you in actual habitat, in their own home and in their own schools.

It's funny some people here at the Internet playing innocent and playing "saintly." Ha ha ha! They were CAUGHT before and I will catch them again. Time and time again. Actually they love being CAUGHT. They should pay for their horrendous copying of my blogs and novelettes. Don't you think it's about time they should PAY for their copying of my IDEA, PROJECT, BLOG TOPIC, BLOG FORMAT, PHOTOS, and many other STRATEGY that I have here posted through the internet. It's about time for them to PAY.

If you are selling some of my WORK (Artwork, photos, idea, and Novels)  here at BLOGGER please PAY. Or be punished and suffer consequences.

Plagia? Here's An Information Worth Reading

It's almost everyday I blog and take pictures of nature and objects of my admiration. Yes dudette PHOTOGRAPHY and BLOGGING is my priority here at the internet highway. More priority given to my Blogger Blogs than what's happening at Facebook. Blogger is here already first hand before Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg.

On PLAGIARISM another Blogger has so many angst or feeling of anxiety whenever she saw something that she feels her "subject" is being copied. I should be the one to be anxious about such anomaly because most of my topic is being COPIED in parts and whole. I have seen so many movies and  television shows wherein my blog topic has been copied and has in co-relation with their story. I don't know why that happened? Somebody is selling the story? And who? That's what it is here in the world wide web. Too many spiders!

Even my FACE is being copied and cloned! Have your face been copied? I don't have the time to mark all the photographs and name them one by one that they all belong to me. I have pictures and the many photos I captured through my Canon photo lens. I have gigabytes of photofiles for my photography subject. Of course once you have them released and published through the blogs, through social website it will automatically published through Google website thr. their web search engine. That's automatically. When it says AUTOMATICALLY it's there forever where everyone can view them because ...as I repeat GOOGLE IS A SEARCH ENGINE. How that happened? Once you label your subject and object, for example you have photo of strawberry in your blog. Search that word strawberry in the IMAGE Google Search. Click image for strawberry and millions of images will be on your computer screen and ONE of your images of strawberry is posted for your own perusal.  Search or find your name in Google search engine and your name and photographs appear on the screen. Similar names also appeared there and their pictures. Even the "dead people and their tombstones there for you to see." Ngek! So viral.

You don't want being known in the internet? Delete your blogs. Delete your Facebook account. Delete your Twitter account. The documents you have will be deleted from your own computer but your friends and members of your team have copies of your blogs and photos because their computer have their own STORAGE. Each computer has hard drive and GB storage to store all the info in the internet and you are paying for using computer monthly to see all these images and information. That's how it works. You're no longer connected through the wires yet the main CPU has its bulk and tons of data from all over the world from billions of people. Well, hope I'm wrong with my opinion. You can ask the CPU storage manager to find that out. I am relying on my common sense and what I read from the old encyclopedia.

CPU? Central Processing Unit (Main Terminal) for Computers

NOTE: PLAGIARISM topic subject or blogpost by another Blogger named Kathryn Brown whom she had problem with in the first place, yet she doesn't know and aware that it was once a subject in my other blogs in Yahoo 360 Blog years ago. It was once a topic of my blogs here at Google Blogger (blogspot). All you need is to scroll the blogs that I had before and do some research and you'll find out how I'm pissed with so many people here who think they are so good with their blogs and blogging. They think I wont find that out that my blogpost, my subject and MY PROJECT has been copied without my permission. However it's not worth fighting anymore when some foreigners meaning of COPYRIGHT means "the right for them to copy." Absurd?! Super! What I want them to know and learn to at least have the courtesy to mention where they gathered their information, their subject and their photographs they used for their blogs or project at school. Mention the name, author, artist whom you gather your information or data. Say your grace, leave a note of gratitude or acknowledgment. ACKNOWLEDGMENT is taught in school. Even in University your Professors taught you how to express your gratitude by using the word >>ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Even in BOOKS you can see a certain page where acknowledgment is printed and the author and authors of books acknowledge their own source of data. That's being professional and yes being EDUCATED.

Let's face it "no man is an island" and not all stories are original anymore. Somewhere along the path of knowledge I will find out where you are getting your information. Yeah me being resourceful of checking the many info, data and news you are gathering from the internet and on television and movies. Me of all people tried to find out what you are showing their on TV, magazines, and newspapers are real, true or not or just fraud. False information, gimmick and just for power play being used to fool the many people here on earth. There are group of people who are working on these kind of  misinformation. Too many of them are sending and wiring so much "gimmick." The only truthful news nowadays are just within your reach. Miles away from your reach is something you have to think about. Why? Honesty is really hard to come by. When somebody said she would lie for a living and how many would like to live?  There 'ya go lying for a living is what matters to them. Darn! Get out of here then.

Spring Time

 Nothing better to do? Try strawberry picking  <  VvvvvvVvvvvvVvvvvvV Remember it's first day of Spring. Such a lovely day. Go and spread springtime shower of fun and cheers. I know your cheeks already been blushing pinkish-red!

Silent water runs deep
Along the river near the valley
Filled with  succulent strawberry leads.

 Reddish, pinkish strawberries
Ready for picking under the tree
Share it with friends not with the naughties.

Strawberry fields forever. Awesome? Amazing? I would love to have an orchard filled with strawberry plants.

The Creative Mind (MINDs)

 All the members of my family are very creative. It runs in our basic DNA. The RNA? All the messages and creations are then put into action in many creative idea. Samples of these creativity I usually have them put on display here in my blog THE CONSCIOUS MIND and other blogs here at Google > Blogger > Blogspot.com

When I said my FAMILY it's my husband Lorne, my teens:Tyrel, Cade and Tamara + Verna. 

The painting above is created by my son Cade and I'm so glad to have it posted here for public viewing. There are so many artworks he made and painted however cannot put them here all at once.

And because there are too many creative minds here at home their health is being taken care of properly. I usually provide the best meal possible. It doesn't mean have to resort to excessive surplus or over the budget meal. It's just the right kind of food the nutritious ones.

 Their chosen favorite kind of meal. Something that is affordable and savory delicious. Simple yet something that will fill up their tummy and the only thing missing is the dessert.

Well, nutritious delicious FOOD is great for you and its good for us; what else could be more than better to do when almost everyday is THANKSGIVING DAY here. You can have Saint Patrick's Day and have the spirit of the Irish. Laugh and be merry and THINK what's next for tomorrow?

Game Verse

I just couldn't believe that when a student applies for BCAid Student Loan the Admission Team need to ask the following personal information such as Social Insurance Number. The parents info about their Income Tax Return etc. etc. Really?! Through online? Through internet? I first thought you should not fill up application form through online (internet form asking such personal info). But that's a government site that maybe is valid. We have to trust the GOVERNMENT. Eh?

Anyways, forget about such topic let us go to HAIKU. I like watching movies, old Japanese movies about Samurai. For instance the old ancient samurai movie of the blind samurai named Shintaro is a must see. i learned so much from his old movies. His daring fight with the black ninjas. You know those anonymous warriors who are using poisonous stars that they swirl quick pass against their opponents. While they crawl up on the ceiling like black lizards and fly like bats. While the samurais were so swift with their sharp blades of their samurai swords to punish the bad influence notorious mad warriors who cannot do anything good. Aside from such Jap movie of long time ago I used to watch Daigoro. The cute baby son of a samurai of the Tokugawa Empire. In this movie (made for TV series) the father of Daigoro was always away on tour duty and while the father is away, Daigoro even as a small child learned the hard way culminating himself in the teachings of the Buddha and one of his childplay is the "haiku" game chanting one of the haiku one by one however the only haiku that I remembered he mentioned in this movie is significant to his own life's goal.

Daigoro's Haiku

" may isang ibon
dilaw ang tuka
nasa bintana."
-----------------------------------------------------
Now here are my list, my own composition in HAIKU formation:

1.
along came a duck
the frog leaps
on the little pond.

2. see the blues clues
will you cover
me with the clover leaf hue

3. there's something blue
chirpin' on the cherry tree
knew it was bluejay not a chickadee

4. such a lovely tree
branches swaying
winding through thin air

5. see nothing's new
except the will that says
saint patti's here to stay

6. there's a fine cushion
so many sharp pins
with colorful threads to see

7.let's fly a kite
up in the tower
then move on  and cheer

8. life is nothing
but a dream
until the sun comes down

9. a hole in the bucket
the water falls down
on the grains of sand

10. little monkeys hanging
on a monkey tree
hugging each other to be free


Haiku written by:  E. Verna Turner

--------------------------------------------------

More haikus later...CIAo!

You really, really want HAI KU? How high you want to be?

Okay here's the highway with the view of the monkey tree ^

Are Angels Real?

If only angels are real not fiction. If only angels are not a myth or product of our imagination. And if they are so true and so real right before our eyes then traveling wont be that difficult. We could all fly. We'll have our own personal wings to fly. We don't need airplanes, jet, rocket and helicopter to travel in the air. Oh my,  if there are angels there's probably God. GOD exist wherever there are angels. We can see God the way we see people. They wont be invisible anymore. However do you think their existence being seen with our own eyes will change the way we view God and His disciples and angels and saints? That's the big question. Million dollar question. If God really exist in our own domain and He can do anything and everything for us then what will happen to the world and to the people around us? Do they function the way they do as human beings or they wont do anything but be lazy, sit all day on the couch  and do nothing? Will God allow such thing to happen? He will do all the work and the rest of us will just stand by and wait for the graces, mercy and blessings. OMG! There'll be lots of fat people all around us. We'll be surrounded with tons of cholesterol. That's horrible!

But wait if God exist right before our eyes...then we're up in Heaven. It would only mean we're dead! Oh no! Let us ask the angels first >> they are our guardians. Or we can ask Jesus first because he is seated at the right hand of God.

Whatever!

Hungry For Words?

My hands are faster than my mind. AH ahahhahaha! You know my good hands also THINK so back to the drawing board again.

My hands...yes my hands are into being busy again with sewing. I have too many designs, fashion designs for such beautiful dress and lately been busy designing party dress and night gowns. If only lovely fabric and textiles and lovely dainty laces are free but they are not. Good thing to know that Fabricland always have something on sale for their avid customers and club members.

Actually made one beautiful custom made party dress for my daughter. Only to be disappointed that somebody is wearing the same outfit. No I am not mad. Don't tell me somebody will copy the same dress and then copy the same story line in my novelette. That's totally insane right?

I don't know what could be the right words to say about "imitation."  What happened if you are being copied and being cloned? What happened and how you will react if everything that you do or you are making and created has been copied and you are not compensated from such work and creations? Don't you feel bad? How will you react?

This is where the "sharing" stop.  It is the words good words and the best of words that you think that is beneficial for all of us will one day lead you to being out of work. Now who's the loser?

There are two sides of the coin. The good and the bad. Bill of rights? Do you and me have the rights? I know for one thing I HAVE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. You can't take that away from me.

This is one of the many reactions and the many not so good thing to being "kind." As what some old people said, " don't let others abuse your kindness."

Something Interesting To Read

Here I am holding the July 2005 MABUHAY Travel and Lifestyle magazine. I made a point to have my own copy every time I go for a vacation in the Philippines via PAL (Philippine Air Lines). Of course I asked that with permission from the flight stewardess. It was a good read > this travel magazine features all the interesting beautiful spots in my country. The great good thing about this famous magazine particularly this copy for July 2005 featured the Greenbelt Urban Oasis which is located in the metropolis of Makati City. This lonely small village was once a Spanish pueblo with not much exciting views and interesting agenda until the village people became so devoted with Catholic religion, from paganism the small pueblo has turned the rural area into one fabulous city and now the busiest and most industrialized modern lively city of different faces from different walks of life. It is now the modernized city lavishly rich and endowed with tall and (high-rise) skyscrapers and modern facilities for commercial establishments, condominiums and world class hotels and restaurants. This modern city can now be compared with Hong Kong and Singapore for their tower of power.

Makati area especially the Greenbelt zone area caters too many fine dining, discotheques, cinema and mega malls. It was an oasis of  fashion boutiques and jewelry stores. You don't need to go to Kowloon to purchase your jewelry once you eyed what they've got there. There are museums where relics and paintings are one of a kind. I missed this > Ayala museum simply because it reminds me of my elementary years. My grade school class went there once to view the "spoilarium" (lol) the many paintings of the famous Filipino artist Luna and Fernando Amorsolo. Diorama also have the way to motivate us about Filipino's ingenuity when it comes to art. The Blood Compact between Sikatuna and Legazpi in one of the paintings on the wall set standard obviously on what happened in early years of the Philippine revolution and it matched on how the present generation with strong bonds to the word "blood compact." Don't get me wrong here. The compact is somewhat a civilized term for the mix race era of sharing brotherhood not of war but for certain freedom seeking allegiance in a more positive way. Yes dudette they are "civilized." Five hundred year rule made sense! Don't tell me that the Philippines didn't have any history of civilization. You wont believe that they are more civilized than any other countries in the world.

Okay don't spoil my history as its best. I noticed that there are "culprits" changing my blog entries here as if my grammar has been messed up by the storm.

Oh by the way, the Monkey Tree on South Island H-way you mean was toppled down by raging furious wind? Really? You mean the kamikaze wind did that to the monkey tree? Oh no! The storm's really sooooooooooo bad!

Without Modern Technology

IT's TRUE if a website doesn't open within 4 to 5 seconds go to another website. That's how it works in my own blogs and site at Facebook. If there are images worthy of a view and didn't open within seconds then WTH & WTF do I need to wait. That's life in the internet highway. I don't know about you but when it comes to technology internet speed is a must because life doesn't stay here for FOREVER. You stayed in front of your computer with your face and body in front of the computer is like sunbathing under the SUN and inhaling radiation. Yeah truth is the same manner while you are in front of your fireplace and the heat ignites. Your face turns beet red. The worse  thing that can happen is having to suffer skin ailment such as cancer. psoriasis and second degree burns. OMG! What a life we have eh?

Last night after having to see the "peak season" of the newly engaged couple I could only murmured "I hope it's true not just a "waverly illusion or magic." Ah forget that wishing them happiness and hope it's not pure gimmick.

So what I did today is having to do what should be done yesterday. Five loads of laundry. Wow! How gorgeous my day is but what incredible day I have yesterday. Would you like to know?

It all began with me in my room waking up to my daughter's giggling about something at very early morn Monday morning. Maybe she was dreaming. I asked what she is laughing about but she did not say anything. Sleeping. The howling sound of wind is pretty much furious banging our wall like crazy. Uhm stormy weather. I uttered "combined miniature defense force" and went to sleep again. Close my eyes after I heard a loud sound and then total darkness.

At about 5 am I woke up, looked out  at the window and noticed it's really stormy. There was a storm. Oh my God! What happened? the power is off. There's no electricity. My husband was at the living room drinking a cup of hot water he boiled from the gas stove. Oh God no! There's no power on anything electric. Thank goodness we have fireplace runs on gas and we have a Coleman lantern with enough battery that's been recharged before. I first thought I was dreaming.

Husband went out to check on residential rented houses to find out what's happening with our tenants. Fortunately electricity is not harmed there. There is power in the Village and there's no problem with the tenants however on the road are debris from fallen trees and limbs, branches and twigs scattered along the highway. The wind was blowing furiously with enough force almost to a speed of 120 m/hr. almost a hurricane. Shocking!

Downtown area's electric power is okay but for the most part other parts of the city is off-power. The schools are partially open but classes are suspended. They should be suspended anyway for the school children's safety. So the whole day we cannot use our computer, stereo or radio including our TV. My teens are unhappy and bored for the most part. Reliance to modern technology is felt heartily and lovingly that it started to cringe and let time go by. Let time passes by while I cleaned the windows. I'd like to do the laundry but can't. Remember washing machines and dryer are machines that need electricity beside I have to conserve hot water. I made a point to have extra gallon of clean water. The water from the water tap and faucet are good,  it's continuous. No power shut off there. great! At least the most important supply is not harmed with this storm.

My teens found time to look for their iPads and gameboys. I told them to have a nap but they are not the kind of teens who are apt to naptime. I went to my room had a nap and guess what? I had a dream. It was a long dream and it might bore you todeath listening or reading my dream again so I wont state it here. Maybe next time. I woke up before 4 pm and planned dinner. Without electricity I wont be able to use my rice cooker so I have my pot with long handle to cook the rice on the gas stove. Prepare the ingredients for my special supper of tilapia with coconut milk while members of the family favored the Malaysian chicken wings.

  Kids got bored again so my husband brought the 4,000 watt-generator from his Dad's house and presto my kids are back online, in front of their modern gadgets.That's after watching ICE AGE. Yes that 4,000 watts generator surely can power television, lampshades, telephones, computer and laptops even radios.

  You know the cute baby being cared for by the three leading animal characters" the lion, the sloth and the mammoth. I had watched this movie ICE AGE before so while they were watching I was taking pictures. Photo shoot of anything I see on the ceiling.

What's happening now is the same kind of situation every family are experiencing all over America, Canada and Europe. What will happen without modern technology?

Husband went out to check from his vehicle through radio broadcast that the power will be back to normal sometime Tuesday at 7pm. With all eyes and all ears we all couldn't believe what we heard.

I went back to my seat, on the table I wrote my blog notes on my journal  and after I have written the Ice Age story of the cute baby and the Mammoth ...suddenly the lights ON in one of the rooms of our house. Wow! That's totally weird.

Without modern technology > LIFE will go on. People will be able to talk personally and without a doubt they will have eyes to SEE, they will have EARS to listen and understand, and probably they will be able to compare and comprehend that people have feelings and sense of TOUCH. They will be able to think for themselves not relying on anybody and on tech gadgets and machines. Surely you'll find out who will be able to THINK RATIONALLY! That somehow they are human beings not robots.

Sign of Time (s)

 What needs changing today? TIME. DST or Daylight Saving Time begins at about 2 am this morning. If you haven't turn your clock one hour ahead this is the time to do it. If you may please turn your oven and stove's clock one hour ahead also. If you like...In cooking and baking it's the cook who knows better to go advance or delay what servings to do and in what time. Still is time is the essence to be punctual and polite.

What's the relevance of SIGN like this? DST is an energy saving bill. It's a law. Right it was a law and it was approved by the government and the people in those countries who observed that DST is a time saving mechanism to solve burgeoning problem with energy. We don't like crisis right?

 Even your laptop and computer needs to be up to date. On the right hand side of your computer screen where the TIME is located. You too can adjust it or some other machines actually are automatically been adjusted for their master to view that the time has been turned one hour ahead.

Springtime is in? Not with the shower of flurries. Still snowing in the Northern hemisphere. However city people living along the coast of the Pacific ocean will have early sign of spring. They are the first to know. How that happened? You don't know?

So, dozen of bulbs are ready and it's up to you to plant them. Now what those special seeds are doing? Waiting for the right time, right moment for the brightest sun to appear. For these special seeds require too much attention. I'll wait for the best time...for the right time.

Now that you have changed the time of your clock, oven, stove, computer, laptop, wristwatch, and what else you need to change? Battery.

REMINDER:

DST begins at 2am March 11, 2012 - ONE HOUR AHEAD
DST ends at 2am November 4, 2012 - TURN YOUR CLOCK BACK ONE HOUR to the standard time

Oh oh It's Magic! Is Magic An Illusion?

 Are you aware of the story of the "Melon Man?" I'd like to tell you the story of the Melon man but you know what maybe it would have a different meaning for so many of you that I wont tackle that here. You can find and search of the old ancient story of that man and how he was called King. For the meantime I have to have a bite of that succulent fresh melon. Probably you will say that's not a melon, "it's cantaloupe!"

There 'ya go.

 What's really bugging you people?

 I was out last nite to throw our garbage and just as when I opened the door I saw a very small tiny creature moving. I grabbed it gently and placed it on top of the book on my desk. Took my magnifying lens and see for myself what's that moving creature...it is so slow.

 Just as I clicked the camera here's the result of the picture. Obviously the flash had it brightened a bit. Even if the zoom lens didn't help much to elevate it's size.Tried to use a different program in my digital camera. No, not really of help to enlarge it. It really need a "specialized kind of camera."

So I just used my own power to make it a lot better for you to see that tiny creature. This is called "magic." Ssshhh! Quiet!

Abracadabra!

The Unknowns

Mahirap talaga ang may kamukha. Hindi lang nasa bingit ka ng kamatayan kung hindi ikaw ang panakip butas sa mga utang ng mga lecheng mandurugas na nagpapanggap na yun. Mga impostor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ang kafal ng mga mukha! Leche! May araw din kayo.

So heto continuos ulit ang blog report ko dahil sa mga leche na yun mga walang magawa. You know feel nila makakuha ng info dito dahil alam mo na wala silang information kundi mangloko ng kapwa nila. Thieves sila eh. And they're not small-time thieves big time sila. They will steal millions and billions of dollars. Very notorious! Pag nabuko sila sa racket nila they all will laugh that it's about feds. My God I'm so fed up with this kind of baloney. Really you're all caught in this big time scheme of nonsense. Matagal na kayong huli sa mga racket nyo. Then pag nabuking heto ang kanilang rason > bail out < Yucks! It only meant to say that actually WALA talaga silang way to cope up with poverty dahil hanggang $500 dollar limit lang ang allowed sa kanila. Sa tutuo lang wala talaga silang cash or pulos BOLA lahat ng kayamanan ng mga 'yan. Sa tutuo lang. Time to wake up. Wag na kayong matulog baka manakawan ka pag tulog ka ng tulog. Be very aware and be very alert! Don't believe in lies. Most of all don't believe anything you hear. Don't fall prank to anybody kahit sino pa sila. Too many evil and deceiver. Don't trust anybody lalo na pag may tumawag sa inyo thr. phone or cellphone lalo na pag "anonymous caller."  Tutal kung mga call display  ka you'll now how you can STOP the calls di ba? UNKNOWN CALLER, UNKNOWN NUMBERS? Don't answer it.

My God too many annoying telemarketers nowadays. The government should investigate on this kind of disturbance. Not only it's annoying it is extremely stressful for those at the receiving end. Besides the problem with them is they never really give information about them but would only like to get information from the innocent victims. Don't tell me this is part of the scheme and robocalls? Tell me why they have to resort to something like this? Can we track them down so that we can punish them one by one? Who will do some nasty things like this to me and you? Totally weird. What else they have to steal from us? Who are these bunch of thieves so that we can put them to jail. They are very annoying and bothersome. They don't have etiquette. They don't have ethics. Most of all they don't have conscience!

I Can Only Dream

 I can only dream and make it into reality one day at a time. How about having so much fun right there in Hawaiian island, with the background music of > drumroll pls. > Hawaii Five-O!  Cool refreshing wine glass of iced tequila on hand sunbathing in warm blue water of their famous beach surround myself with Hawaiian delicacy and fruits and have bites of delicious roast pig. Oopps first thought I'm on a diet. Erase...erase...

Oh darn what a delightful way to dream dreams. Well I had roast pig for dinner the other day, sole fillet with bread crumbs last nite and for tonight I might just have burritos Mexican style. That's if my mind wont change of the availability of raw food inside the fridge. I usually have two menu to   choose from. Our dinner is the heaviest at supper time. Breakfast is just coffee and tasty bread with butter or croissant with butter or pancake. The usual breakfast. Boring? Not really because breakfast is something we can do without. Lunch is also a diet menu. Not so important. We can have sandwich, burger or pizza. Dinner as I told you the most difficult to plan. It's easy and cheaper to cook Filipino food unlike having to cook Canadian meal. Canadians don't like doctored food. Ayaw nila ng halo-halong gulay with meat. Gusto nila laging separate ang gulay at karne. Sawa na rin sila sa pancit. So pinakbet, stew and meat combined with other veggies are big no. Except of course kung sinigang ang main course. They love sinigang so much. That's why supermarket here in Canada also have specialty department for asian food. Their shelves are stocked with products from Philippines such as: pancit bihon, pancit canton, sinigang broth, patis, marca pinia soy sauce, banana sauce, grated cassava, ingredients for halo-halo, etc.

Marketing Filipino products here in Canada is easy and accessible depends on how many Asian residents in one area or community. Fortunately the kind of food that Filipinos have for their meals are also the kind of food for the Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Malays, and other nationalities from asian countries. In this age and time many Westerns and Europeans would like to try what asian people have for their meal this is because of the multi-cultural organizations dedicated to enhancing the diversity within the province wont be  hindrance to the progress and development of the country. The question is ... Canada a country or a Nation? Until now the teacher's strike is on going its third day and the news on TV is busy with Robocalls. Really? Now will 'ya check the date today? Are we still here on earth? Baka naman nasa Venus na tayo or sa Mars. OMG! We're in Saturn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay just to let you inform that whatever we are dreaming and whatever we have to pursue in life always take a chance to read this book above. Yes dudette, I am a bookies right now. Once in a while I have to relax and read books and one of my books is ECONOMICS book by Blomqvist and Wonnacott. ^There stare at the giant iceberg and how this obra maestra seemed to look like the shape of the "figurines."

Now that I'm finished with my "lecture" for today I will continue my sewing. Hasta la vista and have more fun!

Oh What A Beach We Have Here! Beachy Life.

 IF ONLY rich developers can turn this exquisite spot into a beautiful tropical beach. Do you think it would help the tourism industry in this city of salmons?

 Do you think there'll be thousands upon thousands and millions of tourists per year coming in this lonely city? Will the gusty winds and wavy waves help surfers and swimmers appreciate the vast ocean scene? There will be few fishermen rather more surfers, divers, and swimmers and sunbathers happily frolic the sandy shore.

There will be more whale watchers, bird watchers and what else to watch? Beach people wearing their skimpy bikinis, thongs and boxer shorts. People walking on their flip-flops, sandals and boots. Kids gathering seashells and starfish including sand dollars.  Boaters and cruise ships sailing along the wide horizon. I can only day dream after all my dreams are my reality for now!

Enjoy my photography of the day.

If The Weather Is Nice, You Have To Get Out

I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD
by : William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er valleys and hills
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of golden daffodils
Beside the lake, beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way
They stretched in never ending line
Along the margin of a bay
Then thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance

The waves beside them danced but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company
I gazed and gazed but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought

For oft when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood
They flashed upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils.



Note: "I wandered lonely as a cloud.." the favorite line of mine of this famous poem,  reminiscing, dreaming until I fall asleep. Then suddenly I heard a loud voice saying, "would you like to go shopping?" and OFF we go for an afternoon of shopping. Walking, browsing, buying at the big box store called Costco is meant to be an exercise. Daydreaming > Walking along the walkway and smell the ocean breeze, watched the people walking their dogs, children and adults found time biking and hiking along the old familiar trail routes.<

We browsed through the bright alleys of food, delis, and arcade of household appliances and furniture for the house. Although our first priority is actually our week's supply of food for the family. It could be a monthly supply of food depends on how much each member consumes in a day.  It's always good to have stock of food at home no matter what.

 Fortunately along the highway we're charmed by hundred flocks of these feathered creatures. I wonder what kind of birds.

 Here it goes the zoom lens perception > Wow! Aren't they so beautiful?  Lovely white as snow flock of swans not on water but threading through the grassy meadow of a humble farm.

So many of them on the fertile green grass and I can hear their loud noise fills the air.They keep on moving non-stop making funny sounds, their long legs and long neck in an egyptian movement yeah "walk like an egyptian movement." Makes me laugh. Funny locomotion.

More photo snapshots to satisfy my addiction to PHOTOGRAPHY.

 Tall trees towering along both sides of the highway now feels like singing > Evergreen and "I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them bloom for me and you and I said to myself it's a wonderful world... Yikkes! It reminds me of the funeral song for my employer's father who died of cancer. SLN and RIP. That's his funeral song and he loved trees so much.

Only to be amazed of the big clay pots. Sorry was not able to target the "huge giant clay pots" our 4x4 RAM truck is moving so fast. I could only take pictures to the speed of light one shot at a time. Really it is such a pain when the vehicle is moving or in motion and I really have to keep my hands steady and on strong grip to make the photos clear and worthy of a view. Thank God my husband's driving for me to apply my skills in this worthy kind of hobby.

What's The Best Title For this BlogNote?

 Left foot...forward

Right foot...forward

Having problem with sense of humor. A new way to tickle your fancy. Let us see if you will laugh, giggle or  have no reaction at all. TOUCH or touch me not.

Saturday is a Sabbath day and I'm here trying to invent new thing aside from the most boring way to enjoy life. It is a time when almost everything is redundant. Right now felt like Ibong Adarna has turned me into a beautiful stone. lol.

Nah, I'm just trying to admire my new pedicure and nail polish. Okay my nail polish almost dry so ciao for now and maybe I'll have my naptime soon. What an incredible fetish. (Buti na lang hindi patis ahahahaha!)

Cravings

Twice alarm on my Canon digital camera to warn me about the new date to be implemented. The first alarm was on the 29th of February. However when I'm changing the date and time it wont accept 29th on February 2012. You know Leap Year. Oh my stubborn camera eh? Okay I had it set for March 1 instead. So what? The way the earth moves, and the way it spins and revolves and rotates the time and age of the earth is way over beyond 2012. Do I have to research on that? Do I need to have the Mayan calendar? Gregorian, Roman calendar to prove such thing? Hmm...you know what calendar years between China and Israel seemed to have differences in what and how we perceived time. It's a matter of thinking rationally whatever is in your calendar and schedule + program in your own country. You have to follow your leader. Then not follow when you feel that his aim is risky or wont benefit the whole country and its population. What the majority of people needs to know is make sure that our leader make it clear that every objective he has in his mind benefit us all. Then the leader should think first of his people and the safety and security for no man is an island.

In the most prolific dramatic sequencing of our history it all comes to one thing and one thing only > TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND.

Craving something like fresh sushi or cheese burger. Crazy combination eh? Then a bite of cheesy cheese cake with lemon flavor. Wow!

Naku ang "project" ko pala ang inaantay nung isang blogger nakakaloka naman. Hmp! Ayoko sanang magblog kasi hahaba na naman ang story caso dito pala sa net ay kailangan constant ka when it comes to blogging lalo na pag yung blog mo ang pilit nilang inaalam. Parang newspaper na kasi na everyday yung story ang inaabangan. I know I'm just like you there are bloggers here I frequently visit and read their blogs. Sometimes I joined their discussion or most of the time I used to write my opinion in my own blogs. An attitude usually been in similarity with the rest of the blogging community. I once read on my favorite magazine that at the end of the day, there are researchers who voted which blog content or news favor their cause and when they voted on such blogger then the writer's view and opinion is the one being tackled on television news and it spread the entire NEWS community around the world. Wow! Hanep! Tutuo ba yun? If that's true eh di sana mayaman na ako ahahahaha!

Ah, tamad ako to cook my lunch meal for today. I had a diet chicken noodle soup spicy flavor, I just added fried egg, chopped spring onions and lots of parsley. More spices. Yum yum. Then instead of my fave Coca Cola I opted for ginger ale instead. Is that good? For a change.

Then last nite my daughter off her laptop went to bed and watched an episode of CSI series. This time it was Ted Danson on it and the actress Shue? Teka kamukha nilang dalawa yung palaging dumadaan dyan sa labas ng bahay namin. They used to walk their dogs outside. Bakit alam ko? Nosy ba ako? Alam mo kasi yung kitchen sink namin ay naka bungad sa may daan kaya kita ko kung sinong dumadaan. Eh lagi kasi akong naghuhugas ng pinggan kaya. Libre observation na rin. kala mo nosy ako ha. Then nuong isang linggo naman yung Bachelor guy napadaan din doon sa road na yun. He's walking his dog. Aba! Ano yun parang TV na talaga ang bintana namin. Ewan ko ba kung type kong bahay na ito. lol

O baka naman kasi pulos celebrity ang mga kapit-bahay ko kaya panay ang parade ng mga showbiz personalities dyan sa tapat. Hmm---kataka-taka! Feel ko tuloy umiba ng direction. Ayoko na ng bahay dito sa lugar na ito. Hindi ko na type.

Anyway Hemingways malapit nang maubos ang noodles ko when L arrived home with many pasalubong from Philippines. Nauna na syang bumisita doon sa kapatid ko. Dumating na ang Sister ko at husband nya from one month vacation sa Pinas. So siempre may pasalubong. Andyan sa pictures ang mga kung anu-ano pang mga padala nila. Thank you. Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat. Aba may kalamay. It's been 25 years na akong hindi nakakatikim nung kalamay na yan eh. May galletas de patatas, sombrero, belt, cards and pamphlets about Philippine tourism, mini book, dahong gabi, isang kilong  hinog na mangga, damit, etc, etc. Thank you. May slippers pa (Made in Thailand not Philippines). Oh my! Marami pa daw silang maiiuwi kaya lang may limit ang mga bagahe ngayon. Mahigpit na sa airport. Pag sobra ka sa timbang, pag sumobra sa timbang ang mga bagahe mo kailangan tanggalin sa luggage or suitcase mo. Yung weighing scale sa bahay nyo hindi katulad ng weighing scale sa airport kaya dapat may allocated allowance ka for your baggage. Make sure you have extra 5 kilos  or five pounds (lbs) extra space.

So ayan may bago na naman akong slippers. Naks! Pulos slippers na ang bahay namin. Aahahhahaha! Thank you doon sa thoughtful na giver. Wala ba talagang fabric? Any textile? Kahit one meter? Kulit ko talaga.
