Tactical To Practical

What could be the best economic recovery? Would it be better to conserve as in being thrifty not buying the goods and services and wait for handouts? Or go with the flow of the usual buying and selling normally as to continue the flow of commercialism and normal trade regulations imposed in the global economy? The government and its agency knew the way. The country's economists have the way. It's their job to provide better opportunities for the buyers and sellers. Consumers are protected from all these ins and out of this precious economic cycle.

Commercialization, trading, the buying and selling is something we should not stop. If it stop for just one day the global economy loses millions to billions of dollars > even if just for one day. We can't be paralyzed and unable to move that's for sure.

We are in the global capitalism and buying and selling is required mandatorily. Without that kind of system the economy lays stagnant and it will have a domino effect. The great economy, the great countries of the world should have the "buying or purchasing power no matter what, whether the calamities and disaster affected them." The people who knew the value of what ECONOMICS to their country should be reliable and credible with the function of their purchasing power. Without people buying and selling the economy is doomed. It's always been the consumers' rights that we tend to sway our opinion and ideology. It's how we live as people and as consumer. We can't live without food and water and we can't function to do the work without clothing, house, work and transporttation. Basic needs are more than important now and then whether there is an occasion or no occasion at all. We are in a civilized world! It's more like a web of life and cycle of life destined to make a harmonious society in a global competitive world.

Our Traditional Christmas Celebration

It was quite super busy day for my husband and I yesterday with all the preparation and cooking. Everytime... lots of movements at the kitchen have to hold on to the broom and swept the floors, then mopped the ceramic tile floor to prevent slip. Thank God it's ceramic unlike the floor tiles we had before made of hardwood floors. You know the runabouts movements on wooden floor is not that pleasant specially if you spill water on it or spilled oil and it will be that's all you can do but clean the floors the whole day.

Checking the turkey from the oven just to make sure it doesn't get burned.

The Christmas shopping, the last minute shopping of the extra food that we have to cook for Christmas dinner, the wine and coolers. We didn't have heavy wine or champagne, maybe if my sisters in- law are here for the holidays then we probably have happy hour every afternoon with Vodka on crystal glasses. He he! That's what you think eh? So just the light peach coolers, grapes and raspberry coolers great enough to sip and cheers with delight. We're happy with that. Simple!

　

Set the table with the usual color motif mantle (table cloth), silver wares and plates.

Prayers before dinner.

Main Course meal: Turkey and stuffings with sumptuos delicious gravy

Steamed potato, steamed rice

Pancit canton garnished with pork, carrots cabbage, shrimps

Brussels sprouts - steamed

My sister Emmy and Brother in- law Romy brought gifts and food +dessert: Maja blanca with corn, sotanghon pancit, and springrolls. My nieces are settled in Edmonton so they cannot come here for the holidays. I wish my parents are here with us together with my brothers and their families. I also wish they are happy and contented in their own homes celebrating the merry jolly Christmas if they cannot visit us on this very special occasion.

Wishing...wishing...lots of wishes.



After dinner we're all gathered at the living room and watched a new movie of Hugh Jackman's the "Wolverines." Ngek! This movie is filled with blood and too much violence.

I know we should have just watched National Lampoon's Holiday Vacation something funny to make us laugh. But what Chevy Chase got for movies are old and we watched them all already long time ago. I watched the "Christmas with the Kranks" the other day and it's more like a movie about stress and accidents that go with the last minute holiday celebration to make family members happy. I suggested we watch the latest Soperman movie but sister said they have a DVD that she will lend to me sometime.

Oh my too sleepy right now. After all the excitement, the shrill, pressure and stress of the Christmas spirit brought to us by the birth of our lone savior Baby Jesus, I thank the Lord God and His Holy Family for a wonderful bright Christmas. To the Head of my family which is of course my husband Lorne who brought much of happiness within the family because of his generosity and thoughfulness. Thank you my loving and caring husband. Your thoughfulness and kindness is much appreciated. To my three children Tyrel, Cade and Tamara who are happy and enjoying the gifts they received from the generous givers (Mommy and Daddy of course + aunts and uncle) ...Thank you, thanks to those who remember us on Christmas Day.

Looking forward to a better, fruitful, prosperous and joyous Year 2014.

Cheers!

Christmas Greetings! Prep. & Everything In Between

 My daughter Tamara and I had so much fun decorating our Christmas tree. This time of the year I did not think of any particular theme or color motif instead bring out the big box of ornaments for the tree and then scattered the decorative items  around the tree almost covering the whole fir tree.

I can't believe that there are some old hello kitty stuff ornaments so included them and hang them one by one on our tree.

 

 There's no drama here ... for sure. Smiles and laughter. Better have a comedy skit.

 

 Finding the right angle. At least my Canon digital camera works better until now. Three years old Canon...


My son Ty arrived home from Vancouver main and I'm so delighted that he'll spend Christmas here instead of over there at the big city. I'm just about finished with the wrapping of X'mas gifts last night. Today is one of the busiest day ever as usual house cleaning, laundry and preparing the food that we have to serve tomorrow for Christmas dinner.

Busy. busy. busy. Busy BC!

 

Santa Claus came too early at our home something to be thankful hopefully a good sign for the next year.

Let the light of the world shine upon each and everyone on this very special Yuletide, a season of hope, gratitude, great blessings and thoughtfulness. Thank God and praise the Lord!

From my loving and caring family to yours, let us spread compassion and kindness to whoever who needs them.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAVE A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2014!

Humor In A Sarcastic World

Shocking! Our Christmas tree stand holder is missing. I think it was stolen. My husband went to the garage then to the tool house at the back of the yard and found that the other tree stand holder is also gone. Two of them stolen?

It was month of November that I have seen those two stand holder where they should be when I keep the Bradley smoker machine in the storage before winter and now they're gone. $40.00 worth. I don't know if I will get mad or scream bloody hell.

It's like there are things and situation that can make my blood rise up to heaven. However I keep myself calm despite of this spoiler alert. I don't like sad stories.

We went shopping yesterday, we are shocked about some few discounted items and there are stuff that we saw in the flyers that we need to buy but sadly they are out of stock and there is one important wish that my son Cade would like to have for Christmas even if he needs to fork half of his money but Staples don't carry that big Wacom Cintiq HD pen tablet set. We have to order it from the manufacturer.

While shopping and driving from one place to another there are frequent stops because of the charitable organization such as the Red Kettle for Salvation Army where volunteers gather fund. They are also in every front gate at big box stores. Courtesy call we can't just pass that zone without giving. Everyone who passes those zones have to give something big or small in coins and or bill in dollars. Think that nobody will go hungry during the holiday season and during the cold winter months. Not to mention their charity also has a store in every city within Canada.

I have to take a walk outside the yard and take pictures of the paw marks the racoons left behind. Maybe it's the racoon who had stolen our Christmas tree stand holder.

Learning To Adapt Any Kind Of Situation

Seriously what is the new news out there? It feels like the world has stop spinning. Even magazines, newspapers, television communication around the world has nothing to offer. Is the world getting stagnant? Nothing's new really. Almost everything is a repetition of the past. Redundancy is so rampant. Better watch SpongeBob Squarepants? Ha ha!

Wishing like a child. Being a child has no problem. We all have problems and that's to be happy. Being happy in this world and in today's time is simply superficial.

One day you are happy, the next day you are sad. How awful that is. You are happy with what you have celebrating the holidays with lots of food and lots of gifts then suddenly some bad people created an anomaly of making us feel sad and lonely just to make us feel guilty that they don't have nothing and you being conscientious have to provide them with what you have. Although we know that them " having nothing is just too fakey."

I heard and seen some awful worse stories out there. Most of them "made up."

I think they want to have a dramatic effect to the point that everyone should be feeling the same way as they are because it is so fair that way? How crazy and insane that situation is. If you want to be happy be happy and don't worry about others. If they are sad they are sad and it's their fault. Find a doctor that will cure your unhappiness. Depression hurts and its affecting so many millions of people. However depression is something that cannot be cured with drugs or medicine. It's up for that individual and individuals to do justice to their own personalities. Help yourself or might as well help others with the same kind of problem and you'll be redeemed.

It snowed yesterday. A fallout eh? Great! Then the snow is starting to melt today. A weather we have to be accustomed to.

To The Hackers

 While the hackers are hacking data from my blog for no apparent reason? Other than they want to own my blog for a day. OMG! Let me think what kind of punishment have to inflict on these crazy people.

How about match the tag for your gifts that you will give to me on Christmas Day.

 

 And you can match it too with the shiny gift wrappers above. This shiny foil is available at Shoppers Drug Mart. Aren't they so attractive and beautiful?

 

 For the masters of error whoever they are should pay for hacking my blogs. I'll be waiting for your payment and gifts on Christmas day.

Or else have some soup that you will enjoy for the rest of your life!

My blog is being hacked. Crazy people! Too many crazy people! You are just waiting to be cursed! How to change the weather?

You want a crazy weather?

Weather that you wont be able to get out?

Strengths & Weakness: Be A Witness

 My husband's employer sent us a cute Christmas card. Wow!  Something new and unique! It made me laugh. The first Christmas card we received this year.

Not too many send Christmas card through post office and to receive a card not through email is one of a kind. I mean it's very thoughtful. Thank you! Thanks LL.

 

 Raspberry cheese cake to make me feel in good mood. I need something sweet almost everyday. I always have blueberry cheesecake and raspberry is unfamiliar to my taste buds. Tried a small triangular piece first and you know what? It's not bad actually it is also good just like the blueberry cheesecake from Costco. Costco bakery has delicious bread, pastries of all kinds and their bakers have exemplary experience in baking the best cake for all occasion. This raspberry cheesecake is delicious. Good to the last bite.

 

Once in a while have to measure my rice intake. Two small cups of rice are good enough for me. Having too much carbohydrate is not good . I asked my daughter to limit her intake or from eating too much rice because sometimes "when too much" can make us sick.

"Enough, enough!" the usual caution for me or for my daughter to stop using computer. I myself cannot stand the "heat of computer." It's like an oven ...like a microwave oven. That's why an oscillating fan is needed and as much as possible the house should be ventilated with air-conditioning unit.

Now I know why so many people stand by in huge malls sitting on benches or spend time just sitting and sleep inside the air conditioned cinema because if you do that everyday inside your home the electricity goes up. have to remind that the electricity bill will go up next year. Is that something new as in news? Every year the electric bill goes up even if the Hydro doesn't raise it up because the cold weather temperature outside make us use the heating system at home... frequently higher than before.

You know what? A friend of mine once told me that since they lived closer to the geothermal plant the community doesn't need to pay for their electric bill and water usage. Great eh? Their family live in that area for so many years since she was a child. their family and clan were there in that hotspot even before the plant was built. What could be the side effect of living close to the geothermal plant? I have read an article about it. Cancer and leukemia could be the major problem people will have to endure living close to a health-hazard zone area.

We are living in a planet that is evolving and no one is immune to the toxicity of our own planet. What to do now? Education always pays a big sum not of all fears but can make you strong and fight to live, dream and hope that there is a better place out there and how to deal with the never-ending limited life on earth is to make our earth the better place it should be or lose the planet because of selfish uncaring people who clutter their garbage. Remember: Cleanliness is next to Godliness!

The usual work I have at home is to clean my home first. If its cluttered and filled with filth assumed that a burglar or burglars broke in. They did burglarized our home before. Whoever they are even broke my attaché case. What are they in search of? My personal data and profile? My passport and whoever I am? For God sake! I know there are females who would like to be me. The stranger whoever that stranger stalker burglar cut some of my clothes into pieces from my drawer. Shocking eh? That was after coming home from a Christmas dinner, years ago. We no longer live in that "house" that is causing so much problem. There are strangers who posed as police without uniforms and one of them is an actress at CSI. I'm not an actress! Fck off! Tsk! Tsk! It's weird here in Canada I tell you. Thank GOD I have a long memory. I had it recorded in my diary. I didn't report it to the RCMP although I make sure to keep an extra eye to be wary of strangers everywhere I go. Everyday I have to have a record of what's happening. I was like this since I was a child... RECORDING is my personal strength.

Movie Time

Tired of the usual replays and monotones my husband rented a movie from Telus VOD (Video On Demand). The movie is good for two days. He rented it the other day and my daughter Tam and I watched it last night while we have our dinner. It was the new movie of Jodie Foster ( the multi-acclaimed actress and star of Contact the movie and FBI agent Clarisse of Silence of The Lambs phenomenon) and Matt Damon (the Bourne Legacy and Bourne Ultimatum Jason Bourne fame) in one sci-fi movie ELYSIUM the two actors are joined together although the two have no dialogue whatsoever. Imagine two biggest movie actor and actress of Hollywood acted in one movie and they don't have any conversation at all nor the two of them in one scene where they have to converse with each other. Kind of weird right? It's more like the special effect of the Star Wars movie where leading actors and actresses are not joined together in one incredible place because the other one is shot in another screen to the next screen as if they are in the process of illumination or optical illusion.

We watched the science behind ELYSIUM. ELY the name of Jodie Foster in the movie CONTACT.That reminds you of how she was able to meet the wealthy provider of the secret machine that brought her to an amazing paradise like space through so called intergalactic super power resonance time machine. It's more like MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine) although she was sitting on a chair as she brought to convulsive state of mind and somewhat paranoia state of hysteria into the unknown. In ELYSIUM, the rich, powerful and influential people were off above the Earth living in a "wheel-like planet." If you are a Babylon 5 fan you know what I'm stating here. The Earth becomes a dumpsite of everything dirty, filthy and garbage everywhere and nobody cares about the filth that earthlings are prone to sickness and all kinds of disease and malady. It seems that the earth is so dry and smoggy and toxic place to live and the living entities are those who worked for the plant. Security is managed by robots and robotic creatures. The robots are the ones who took charge of keeping not only the security but also in diagnosis of people's health. Diagnostic test is applied and the robots also give prescription and supply the amount of medicine to be taken by the patient. It's weird right?

But there are doctors and nurses who take the same kind of work in today's world. You can slap them on their face perhaps to awaken their senses. They don't care about who you are. They don't even know your name and cannot remember who you are anyway. There was a time when one blogger had a record of a situation wherein she asked Rx or prescription from her doctor and she was given the wrong medicine. Good that she was able to read and recognized the medicine before she bought it. But how many times she remember that the medicine she took is the right one? There are cancer patients whose eyesight or vision is getting poor or they go blind because of too much chemotherapy. She died years ago of cancer. Hopefully whoever can read her blog can offer sympathy and hope that each and everyone of us learned from such lesson. Doctors and nurses should always have frequent visitors from the Pharma representatives to inform them of the medicines they prescribed. I know detailing of products is tiring and boring however medical practioners learned from frequent detailing of products. It is not a waste of time listening to precautionary measures.

OMG! At least with the robots they check your name maybe even weigh how many pounds (lbs.) you are before the robot give you prescription or take your pulse and check your blood pressure. That should be done before giving prescription. The amount in grams of pills, tablets of any kind of medicine should be taken in account. You can't give 500 gms /pill to a patient that is only 75 lbs. and to be taken 3x a day? Even if the patient weighs 125 lbs. the pill that is 500 gms is too much to be taken 3x/day. For God sake! You wont be able to wake up. You'll be sleeping the whole day and night. No wonder there are patients who never wake up anymore.

Anyway, this movie ELYSIUM looks like the continuation of CONTACT and it opens a wide conscientious being of how the rich and powerful want to control the world for their own good. They have to protect themselves from being infected. They followed the rule of law and some people do not follow the same rule then what will become of the rest of the world? Look at Milla Jovovich movie "Resident Evil" when almost everyone got infected by the killer venemous virus, only one remain alive at the end?

Monday Today & Tomorrow Is Tuesday

Unhappy because it's Monday today? That's too bad! How to make people happy when Christmas is fast approaching? I know there are so many sad people in this world that's why there is that SAD ailment named to add the million different kind of incurable dieases out there. SAD is a Seasonal Affected Disorder an ailment that is affecting millions of people in the Northern and Southern hemisphere due to the stubborn cold and simply because when people have nobody to talk to face to face and if there are at least one or two people right there in front of you they seem not interested in talking. Talking is such a costly way to do in the coldest part of the world. You really have to pay a companion to talk with you, asking them for coffee, or have a drink, dine with them or simply have a get together just for the idle way of talking with sense or nonsense is a big taboo.

Thank God for the great, great big wide television and computer at least life on earth will continue to grow and move on. The EARTH is alive once again.

Too many weird movies today such as: DUNE a science fiction movie of futuristic origin. The leading characters have unusual super power, telekinetic and ESP. Although I have watched this old movie when I was in College still is nice to watch this movie again and again because just like Star Wars this movie is classic and has made millions of dollars as a box office hit in 1984 . Actors and actress who can act and deliver the story of spice hunt on a desert planet. With Kyle Machlachlan, Virginia Madsen, Patrick Stewart, Reba McEntyre, Ernest Borgnine, there's an actor that looks like the Canadian Finance Minister Mr. Flaherty and the singer The Police. What is fascinating with this movie is the unique blue reflection in the eyes of those leading characters led by Paul (Kyle), his family, and these desert people wearing very unique, one of a kind uniform where there is available storage of water and air beneath their skintight clothing, the majestic costumes of women, uniforms the whole cast are wearing are extra ordinary as required in ultra modern civilization empire style... although some of their tech gadgets are old and out dated in today's generation. The giant worm they battled with and control? It's an ugly cactus-like phallus. Who the hell made fun of this movie? Ha ha ha! I couldn't believe that the author of the book DUNE had that awful imagination. The inflated character of Baron is shocking. I was shocked watching him in 1984 and still frightened of his character up to now. I changed channel every time his face on the screen.

Truth is ... it was my husband watching the "Dune" movie and my daughter and I watched another movie in another room. Yeah, just for the record.


Then there's this another weird movie with weirdos although I watched it from the very beginning to end it's better not to tell the story here. Know why? I know who they are as Hollywood actors and actresses but their names, the names they are using are not of who they are. Disguised? Ashamed of their movie and the characters they played on that movie? Okay better not to tell you the title then. Besides I forgot the title. It was filmed in Canada and the US.

We watched the almost finale musical of THE VOICE. Only three singers performed namely: Will Champlin, Tessane Chin and Jacquie Lee. Will is a singer, musician who can sing every kind of songs from jazz, ballad, pop, rock and punk. He is versatile. Tessane Chin is great with pop songs. She can sing like as if she is a diva. While Jacquie Lee is the neophyte here only 17 years old with power high toned voice. Tessane and Will were coached by Adam Levine and Jaquie Lee is coached by Christina Aguilera. The only thing I don't like Jacquie's choice of song is > required her to always have that "hissy fit." I think singing should not be a screaming contest. But she's got a good voice and she's beautiful. She can be a great performer in broadway show. Tessane always choose the best songs that every singer would like to sing and simply she had chosen mega hitsongs that belong to P!nk the sensational pop star and Whitney Houston. Her rendition of Whitney Houston's song is almost unbelievable. Amazing! According to Adam Levine it was Will the winner of that night's show. I think so too, because his almost perfect pitch and voice  doesn't need extra arrangement.

The 15th of December

The very first start of SIMBANG GABI. It brings back memories of me and my siblings attending the early mass at the Church. We used to wake up at dawn as early as 3 am just to make sure when we arrived at the church at 4am then we have seats to sit on for an hour long mass instead of standing just like hundreds of churchgoers standing and feeling sleepy. It also the time when there are stalls outside the church , vendors elling delicacies such as puto bumbong, palitao, suman or rice cake, bibingka, hot sopas, and lugaw. Yummy food.

15 = AE     Arts and Entertainment. So many movies that we watched, suspense, dramatic and tearjerker. One movie that brought tears to my eyes? The Schindler's List. The movie produced by Steven Spielberg, the creator of E.T. the movie about an alien adopted by a young boy named Elliot.

My blogpost story is not about E.T. it's about that of Schindler's List where Jewish people were persecuted "allegedly by the German Nazis only to be released when paid by a certain Nazi patronizer named Oskar Schindler. According to the story, millions of Jews were annihilated by Hitler in the Nazi camp. Old women, people with mental health problem were killed, every day the Nazis killed and cremated so many Jews. In the movie there were at least 10,000 dead bodies exhumed and then burned afterwards. Look at those hands? They don't even wear gloves. Is that what happened in real life? Their hands are all over those dead decaying bodies and they were carrying them one by one and God knows what happened to those people who touched the dead bodies. Then inside the concentration camp where men and women were maltreated like animals. One time hundred thousands of Jews were inside the train run by dirty coal, they were sprayed with water from a hose, it's very demeaning, that scene is really horribly wrong and disgusting. then the inspection of men and women without clothes passing through a Nazi desk clerk.  Old immigration procedure? As soon as they have their clothes back then they noticed that all the children were taken by 6x6 truck  to another place and all the men and women panic that some of them were shot dead. There were children who were able to escape and hid under the loo. Would you believe that those young kids will jump through the filthy toilet filled with poo? Yuck! That's really, really disgusting! What could be the true story of the holocaust? In the movie, the Jews were from Poland. The narrator and historian, producer and many of the actors and actresses are Jews. It is a movie based on the Jewish people's account. It happened in 1939 when the Nazis hate the Jewish people and they are sort of racist.

Poland is right there beside Germany on the map. Germany is landlocked with different countries such as: France, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania and Serbia are just close by and they all can be reached by train ride. You can ride a bus or any kind of vehicle and you can reach those destinations within hours. Germans became the "legal guardian" to massive migration and tough iron fist is needed not to let those illegal immigrants get to the upper chamber. Hmm, more like a CHESS.

Secret? I hope you watch the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympic games in London. The ceremony had open the secrets to everyone.

Watch THE BIRDS of Tippi Hedren , a suspense movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock and you'll find out that there is so much depth in that old movie where migration of birds are haywire. Its more like they were scared like crazy from their nest and they have to get out from where they are and every open space they have to get in and out. maybe even from the tunnels. Or simply there's no fish or no food for the birds that they keep attacking the people in the island.



What happened in 1939? My grandmother was born in 1912 at the time when Army General Hospital was built in Fort Bonifacio, Rizal replaced named as Fort Bonifacio, Makati (now known as Fort Bonifacio Global City). It was actually known as Fort William Mckinley Camp and Headquarters of the Philippine Army. In Year 1939 she was age 27. Her memory of war is during the Japanese occupation in the island where she lived. It was a very long story and I have to relate that story of her in another medium.  It was also the year when the Roosevelt had  royal visitors in the White House and "hotdog" was introduced as feast for the royal family. The Royal family was a frequent visitor at the White House during the time of Great Depression. It was the time when food is scarce and epidemic was clearly evident. A time when Hitler ordered to kill all the invalid, disabled or people with disability and let the stronger human race live instead. Shocking!? More like SURVIVOR? Who knows it's probably a GAME with prizes. In another part of the world, their characterization of Hitler is a young man, short, Asian looking guy with funny moustache, rude and with funny wicked accent. Charlie Chaplin copied the Hai Hitler, made fun of the wicked one and brought laughter to everyone. It's their hand salute. How to salute when you worked for the army? Even Stewie of Family Guy once imitated the dubious hellish evil Hitler.

Who is Hitler? Adolf Hitler according to History is not really German. He was an Austrian Christian. He was a CHRISTIAN devotee meaning He believed in God. He is religious! So why he ordered the massacre of Jews? Weird right? Then there was another movie LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. In that movie an Italian had an account of what truly happened during the Nazi era. You probably watched it too. The horrifying ordeal of war. In this story or movie the account of war is mild. It's more like a test. The Italians followed the "waiter" to the concentration camp and worked night and day carrying big slabs of rock, maybe coal. They probably in a quarry or something. Some movies are mindboggling they want you to think and conclude of this big great charade.

AE is Albert Einstein and the known Physicist finally made it to the 21st Century. How atoms conquered almost everyone.

There are many versions and more versions of the Holocaust which one will you believe? It's up to you to believe.

The Power Of Education

 My son had the first Xbox years ago and it looks like every two years there is a new arrival of new Xbox just like the many handheld gadgets that were available in stores. Recently there is the latest arrival of Xbox 4 and there is that PS4 or Playstation 4 version now too. Cellphones keep changing its version too. Every year the constant changing and replacement of new technology is being felt and whoever can afford the new technology becomes the life of the party or the life of any group.

One day nobody can afford anything of this tech that is so high and we're all be just playing the old board games.

 

 There are at least 15 Board Games known to men such as: Chess, Checkers, 3D Tic Tac Toe, Dalmatian Pirates and the Volga Bulgars, Roundabouts, Hasami Shogi, Go, Hex, Brax, Hoppers, Fandango, Solitaire, Cats and Dogs, Mancala, Nine Men's Morris, Backgammon, and to add to entertaining ourselves there are television shows doing to entertain us in a most magical way and other games that are over the top and so unbelievable in the sense of its risk involved such as: Amazing Race Canada, Amazing Race (American version-original), Survivor, Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, Wipeout (looks like that crazy game provided by Japanese).

How high technology nowadays including its price tag is simply not irresistible. I am not impress much of this technology. Although I'm using and benefit from the use of computer it is one high tech that is an indispensable tool almost as important, very important like television. Radio and radio technology and landline telephone should not be abolished because no matter how old that technology still is very valuable when there is a calamity and what else is taking us by storm? The snowy wonderland since Thursday of last week has melted this morning. Our heater's switch has to be set up every time the weather changes. The arrow on the left side corner of the heater's button means there is no need to heat up the room. To move the button clockwise to desired number as in its centigrade: 5  ,  10  ,  15  ,  20  , 25 degrees ; note that's the centigrade applied to what the room needs for heating or the temperature desired for the room.

There are good news and bad news around the world: Dementia is becoming the number one ailment due to the majority of population is old people. There are more old people than young people in a given demographic region or according to statistics. People with dementia are common now at age 50 and even those who are in their 40's. What could be the debilitating cause of dementia aside from being old? Is it the environment to be blamed? The weather, climate , the temperature? The food that we eat? Is it because people with dementia are also people with cancer and alzheimers? Even young people with autism have that kind of problem. Its seems to me that they have alzheimers now too at a very young age? Wow! So unbelievable! It think it has something to do with the environment. How toxic and how cold a climate plays a part of what sickness, what ailment you will have in your life time. That there should be an agency that monitors the environment condition whether good air is within that area zone that they should have device that monitors about carbon dioxide, radon, methane, and other hazardous gas. Every house in Canada should have carbon monoxide detector and fresh air should be available for the living to breathe in. Even if you are normal, healthy and not sick but if you happened to breathe in toxic fumes and you are a victim of second hand smoke you are unfortunately will suffer schizophrenia. Others will suffer bipolar disorder ( so many of those newscasters already admitted of being sick of bipolar) simply they inhaled so much smoke in their life time from smoke-puffing monsters and from the serious effect of air and water pollution. Think about it. It takes education to know all about these things. BE EDUCATED! Don't be ignorant.

Heaven & Earth

Why there is a white race and there's black race? Why there are coloured people? Is God playing favourites with whom He needs to be acquainted with? Or God is color-blind? What if God has no colors because He is transparent and a Holy Spirit in the true sense of it. Is God white Being? Is He from the White Race? What if God is actually Black not White? Who have seen God? Do you need to die to see God in heaven? Do the living beings can see God?

I always heard that God is everywhere. I asked my Mother-in law once about her religion and she said that God is everywhere and she doesn't need religion  to determine God's existence which is true. She found that God is within nature and when she see the presence of Nature then God is there in existence. It could only mean that FAITH truly exist in those people who believed that there is God. I believed the theory that God exist because we are in existence and there's a basis or inter-action, reaction, stimulus and corelationship with each other. There is that inter-galactic relationship to exist.

He is not only inside the Church because God can be everywhere where good conscience lives and dwells. God is present in a living entity that breathes and gives life. Mankind is God's precious gift. You are God's personal image ONLY if your conscience is pure and clean. Your kindness, compassion and wholeheartedness of what a truly goodness is all about embodies the spirit of God. 100% CLEAN CONSCIENCE, without any sin. That's the complete embodiment of God.

Meaning? WE are embodiment of Adam and Eve created by GOD without any sin. GOD has no sin at all. Not a sinner. He is the CREATOR. Our parents are the new Adam and Eve creating us to be their children and thus, a family is formed as a unit in a community.

In scientific knowledge it's like a structure of atom where there is proton and neutron to form a core. Not to forget the nucleus. Atoms connect each other to form a link and through these links and connections a certain matter is form. Chemical reaction is form. That's Chemistry. In Biological terms the union of egg cell and sperm cell produce an offspring. How sacred the union of matters and or the union of higher form of beings depend on how those entities are combined. LOVE is the main ingredient that forms the sacred union of man and woman. Any other union is an abomination and sacriligious. Even the Holy Bible rejected such union of both genders and that's why that filthy place no longer exist today because it was burned to ashes. You can't even see the ashes. It was totally wiped out on the face of the Earth. Anybody who followed that homosexuality doctrine will be thrown in hell. And that's what happened thousands of years ago. God is good then. He knew what He is doing and He is a Highly Being that need to be respected because if you don't you'll be punished and be eliminated from the race. That's why ETHNIC CLEANSING becomes an economically route to cleanliness and orderliness of the Planet Earth. To those who do not follow unfortunately will be victims of AIDS and incurable disease. Please do not infect your doctors and nurses! Do not infect good and righteous people and those whose conscience are really CLEAN and PURE. And that's the problem though...nobody is one hundred percent clean and pure. Reason why we're here on EARTH not in HEAVEN.

Another Day Monday In Snowy Island

It didn't snow today so I'm glad that my husband need not to wake up at 4 am to shove the snow outisde and at the C. Village complex. Although there is a company doing the plowing of snow at the parking area they do not remove the snow on the sidewalk where the residents walk to go to parking space where their vehicles are parked. For the past 16 years he was doing this shoving of snow and remove the snow out of the way and if the snow is higher than 4 to 5 inches of snow then got to help right? You know how heavy the snow is on a shovel? It's the same weight of sand and soil. Heavy! Hard work! Harder than cutting grass at the yard. Then you always have to be careful not to fall on the ground especially on concrete. The heaviest snowfall we had in the city was during the snowstorm of 2006 at the time when the movie "The Fountain" was screened at the local cinema. It was also the time when Uncle Jack died. It was snowing for so many hours and days. The snow stayed on the ground for two weeks.  Husband and I have to remove the snow on the sidewalk, around the complex so many times, also to sprinkle industrial salt to prevent slip or accident. Seems to be the usual task during winter when there's snow.

The snow that was plowed went up high like a hill almost towering up to at least 15 ft. Highways have to be plowed too by different snow removal company to keep the traffic off the track and the easy flow of access to the roads, streets and corners. How much is too much snow? It is too much when it stop the movement of communication, access to all public and private works were put into delays and there's nothing you can do because there is zero visibility. I think that happened once in the island and all we can do is just stayed at home and keep ourselves warm in front of the chimney ( if you have just like santa Claus used to do hahah) ) gas stove, fireplace,  but we had our electricity heating our home real good so we stayed warm as we could to protect ourselves from the very cold front.

Last night as I watched the last pit stop or finale of the Amazing Race, where Amy and her partner won the prize, and after conquering so many ups and downs, highs and lows this race is not just a race but an endurance, patience, agility, strong minds, and to be physically fit to the many hazards against the contestants. From hot, warm to cold climate in different parts of the world. The last pit stop was in Alaska where they managed to climb the iceberg and see what's beneath the iceberg. Water leaking from beneath trapped by giant iceberg... hopefully the iceberg wont melt instantly but gradually, slowly to ease the tension of global warming.

What if Marie and her partner win the contest, what could be the result? Will they get married again, reunited or divorce or set free each other from all the obligations of being married? They won in Japan Pit Stop but arrived second at the last pit stop in Alaska.

They should work for National Geographic. Or maybe they are National geographic members and staff doing inspection and what could be the best work for them? Journalist and photographers. Or people who worked for film industry have to find out where the best place on Earth they can shoot films to be used for cinematography, for cinematographic purposes for a certain movie. It could be the place where THE LAST AIRBENDER was filmed who knows eh?

After the famous TV Show had it, the new movie of Matrix hero was on our TV screen, Keanu Reeves fighting with shaolins in his new latest action movie 47 RONIN. My daughter was awestruck with the movie trailer, knowing she likes Matrix and action-filled movie that has similarity with his favorite Yu-gi-oh then she told me she wants to watch it.

There's a movie I want to watch the "Catching Fire" of Jennifer Lawrence. Or maybe have to watch it through VOD instead. They should have it on DVD right away just in time for Christmas because not too many watch in the moviehouse or cinema you know since the popularity of wide screen TV becomes in demand.

Find and Discover Your Own Robot And God Knows What Will You Become When the Robots Are In

Shocking! I found something very interesting today. Found was like a discovery of sort. It was disgusting and disappointing at the same time. But to top it all it's more like a blessing in disguise. In this medium I found so many articles that I want to give emphasis on the basis of respect for myself and those people who need the respect.

I live in a place where almost everyone wants to do the same thing that I'm doing since I was a child so to me it's really just a matter to trying to keep myself busy and happy. But for them it's just that they have some other kind of motive that I am not comfortable with.

They keep bringing the same old kind of mess and maze as if they never happy with the result or outcome they want to do it again and again as if perfecting a way to tackle that misfortune they had in their past.

The question is WHY? That big capital WHY they have to have that same ritual of maze? Something wrong with them?

Don't they have another laboratory to do it so that the result would be perfect and in such a way they will be happier and be paid for their ulterior motive?

According to Mr. Minsky of MIT there were laboratories such as: CBS Laboratory, Stanford Research Lab., there were other great laboratories trying to do the same kind of maze in a scientific way that will bring an outcome on practical application but their point is towards anything that requires a 40 year period or less. Too bad rats, no rats can stay alive for that long years. Even monkey wont live longer enough to that point. Shocking! Try it on gorilla and elephant maybe it will work. Human guinea pigs are such a big NO. Or ask some patients whom you can manipulate and follow that kind of rule. I know of one prominent researcher who died without seeing the last ultimate perfect result of such inquiry. There'll never be perfect outcome anyway. Nobody's perfect. It will be a quick fix or just fixed to reach such perfection.

Why? That word why again returns to mind, to your mind and everybody's mind because nobody or no one is like God! By the way there is only one Jesus Christ.

Today, as the whole denomination of Roman Catholic celebrates the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Don't ever think it's the "Inception"  it's further from the truth. According to the Catholic dogma that the blessed Virgin Mary was conceived without the original sin. What is the original sin? Saint Joachim and Saint Anne the parents of Virgin Mary, meaning Mary has parents and the union of egg cell and sperm cell reproduce an offspring and that offspring is Virgin Mary. The original sin is "disobedience." It doesn't make sense right? Without the original sin, and conceived without sin that the Virgin Mary was produced inside a test tube. She must have been a test tube baby. She was conceived scientifically not normally in the womb of a pregnant woman. There are many explanation and opinion to tackle with and you can ask God who speak the same language as Jesus if you want to know the truth.

Winter Scene For December

 It was awesomely beautiful outside, at our yard and it feels like winter wonderland. Look at those trees once had pink cherry blossoms, reddish pink plum flowers and now covered with majestic snowy white colored snow. Even the hazel nut tree is covered with foam-like snow.

 Walking on snow covered lawn is simply irresistible  wonderful. This time of the year can't have my children play outside and throw snowballs. They outgrown this festive play. They can play and create snowman if they want and it's really up to them.

I think it's only the very young kids who like snow and snow time. The winter season is simply not the kind of climate that drivers want. For them this is what hazards are all about. This is the time when motorists have to be careful when driving. The roads, the streets, and highways could be very slippery and icy. So be very careful out there. Drive safely and please don't drink and drive. If you drink let your friend drive you home safely or get a taxi or shuttle bus.

 

 In this kind of weather condition that I feel inspired to write stories. However so many television shows that I like to watch and news, new news? I can't resist to listen to some good news. Bad news? Uhm, I heard that there are special group who played hex somewhere in lalaland. You can play poker, casino royale, bitter squares, backgammon and all those funny moves to make you feel alive but on this cold season a sip of spoonful of sour broth is really amazing. At least cooked food at home is the right food for the family. Real food that you can see that it's the right meat from a piggy, fresh veggies from the garden and the sour mix? Delicious and real spicy hot! Hot food on real cold weather.

 

 I watched the many birds that keep coming back to stop at the trees. So many birds! Why all of a sudden there are so many birds of all kinds at the yard. Big birds ...small birds : Ravens, crows, seagulls, starlings, and few humming birds.

What's goin' on?  Then I saw a flying raven swoosh fast over the roof and its got a piece of bread on its beak, then followed by a white colored bird that too had a piece of bread on its beak. My husband said somebody is feeding those birds outside.

 

 Majority of those birds on top of the trees, on its branches are starlings. Aren't they cute? Look at those many tantalizing colors: purple, black, brown, white, teal.

 

There are bigger birds with bigger wide wings flew on top of the taller trees of birch and douglas fir trees. Can you identify the bird on top of the fir?

Childrens Books Are Classic & Enjoyable To Read

 

 BOOKS! Books, books, so many books so little time. I read this Beginner's Bible so many times to myself and to my teens when they were very young; at the age that their focus is on written words inside the pages of the book instead of having to read what's on the computer. Every night before going to bed, timeless children's stories helped put them to sleep early and dream beautiful dreams.

You wont believe that I still read books such as like this. Feeling like a child? The interpretation is somewhat clean and enjoyable to read that's why.

 

 More fun reading short stories? Try the pop-up classic: A Christmas Carol: Ebenezer Scrooge the wicked greedy man, owner of a business whose  employees are not paid the right wages until Ebenezer had a nightmare and only then his conscience bothered him and changed for the better.

Hark! The Angels Sing. Would you like singing together with the angels?

The Nutcracker, an all time spectacular story of a little girl who received a nutcracker doll who turned himself to a handsome prince after he defeated all the evil rats. The girl and the prince married and lived happily ever-after in the Lemonade River.

A Child Is Born is the story of the Holy baby named Jesus, born of the Virgin Mother Mary and Joseph his father by their side. Jesus who was born on a manger where different kinds of animals dwell and witnessed the most amazing birth.

What's inside the magic bag? Santa Claus left his magic bag in one of the homes he used to bring gifts for the nice and kind children in the neighbourhood, however something happened that he forgot his bag and the two brother and sister had fun with all the surprises inside Santa's bag. Do you think they will return the bag to Santa Claus? Or they will keep the bag because anything they asked to make them happy is right there inside the bag.

The good thing about reading children's books are the magical effect of surprises. The element of surprise and happy ending. I know it's boring for old people to be reading this kind of book. Simple vocabulary words, simple grammar, only few pages and yet the price tag for the book, each book is costly or more expensive than romance adult pocket book. Why is it?

I know the answer, however better to keep it to yourself why children's books are costly than adult book.

 Bye for now because it's time for me to enjoy the blueberry cake that I baked today. Have a nice day!

What Is Over?

 

Thanksgiving Day is over in United States and way over in Canada and Black Friday Sale is way over too. I couldn't believe that There is Black Friday Sale which is similar to Boxing Day sale in Canada. Many Americans already shopped earlier for their family and loved ones but the craziest I watched on TV are the frenzy shopaholics that went earlier to avail of the door crasher prizes on their furniture and appliances. People! Yeah some people fought over televisions. Those flat wide screen TV they want to get hold before others can have them.

We have our flat screen TV. One 50" TV, one 32"TV and one 28"TV.  A 60"TV is probably something that is interesting to have, but that can wait for now. maybe there will be a grand sale on Boxing Day.  Patience I told myself. Besides it's only the 2nd day of December. Imagine 23 days from now and it's Christmas Day!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited heheheheheh!

What's with televisions? I myself was magnified and awestruck about this black monolith because of its entertainment quality that it provides. No need to tell you whatever I'm watching right because I think mentioned them to you before since the time I was at a very young age.

Sure, TV provides educational and informative information, the news> past and present news.

I was able to watch the documentary about the life of Jesus, which of course it's better to see it in action on television instead of from reading the Holy Bible. Then the news about what's happening around the world so that you are "in" not out. 

How about the documentary biography of the "Queen's Mother-in Law." Prince Philip's mother Alice Mountbatten. Her biography is somewhat shocking. I couldn't believe it myself that Princess Alice suffered schizophrenia because she heard noises. Only her who could hear noises and voices and the rest can't hear what she was hearing? Uhm, weird right? How many layers or story in her house or building? Watch Skyfall the movie about James Bond and you'll find out what's underneath those buildings in London or in UK and Scotland.

During that period of time if you are the "only one" who can hear noises and voices" then you have to be put away, in mental  hospital or away from the normal way of life. My God! She was already from the Royal Family and looked at what happened to her. Then the Nazis came to put the troubles in a troubled country.

I can hear noises and voices far away from the normal range but that doesn't mean I'm schizo. Dual. Autistic! Wow! I first thought I have multiple personality. Genius!!!!!! Look at those movie stars so many of them with multiple personality. They work as politicians and they work as artists. So many writers with multiple personality too. How wonderful! However they cannot do stunts just like Jackie Chan. So Jackie Chan is still the most sought-after artist of the century.

What's wrong with hearing voices anyway? That's normal. It's just that my hearing is sharp. Besides if you live in an area where there is "echo" you can hear it twice too. Hear the voices on solid ground. Did you know that people living in a country that has snow or in cold place (frozen state), they are mostly deaf and blind? The harsh cold climate can make the people blind and deaf. Also let me tell you ...Few people have problem with their sense of smell due to the cold weather and because of prolong exposure to gas.

Did you know?

When the astronauts landed on the moon, the messages were relayed faster in the country that is warm and hot (tropical countries). Radio messages are faster in hot climate. Besides, the radio telephone that the astronauts had was located on the mobile vehicle they used on the moon that was invented by a Filipino scientist. That's why.

What TV can do to you and your children? My daughter knew what a satellite is at age 4. Thanks to TV. She was doing her nursery exercises on computer. However, when children are enclosed together in a classroom  with disability and majority are handicap then no matter how good you are, no matter how smart you are the handicap rules. Unfair! It's not right!

STOP corruption and stop bullying.


Schizos are psychic in modern times. They are people who do not need cellphones and telephones. Their cellphones are built-in to their minds and provide convenience to their creativity. Direct-wiring! You want "tapping?" Do you want tap and gold? Or spanning for gold? Or you would prefer silver?
