Happiness Adds Life

There is that somebody that STOP the normal blogging ceremony or ritual that I frequently been doing for almost 7 years. What could be the problem with them? It could be when they dropped by and read something that made them think also made them wary, curious and envious. Envy is such a "mortal sin" now you know. It is from envy or being envious that some bad people become manipulator and murderous. Not good eh? Anyway too bad for them. May their spirit and souls no matter how bad should be sprinkled with holy water so that their evil ways will change gradually and dramatically for the sake of all the people involved.

BLOGGING as you know makes me happy and through all these manifestations that I feel the glory of God and the many beautiful kind spirits within the realm of the senses. So out again in the yard wandering and wondering the many angles of taking nice photographs. Springtime, halfway to summer time. It's only 5 degrees centigrade and obvioulsy it's not really cold. 5 degrees centigrade is not that cold. What happened? Anyway forget about the weather and let us focus on my photography. ( On the )  At the  TURNER's GARDEN... early morning when flowers still have their mildew and the green bermuda grass still wet from drizzles and shower from above the sky.

 

 

Spring flowers bloom

like radiant stars in the sky

Add happiness to everyone's desire.

Anything that is bright, beautiful and wonderful is such a heavenly wonderful inspiration to many of us. Tell me of something evil is an inspiration? It is the path of the wicked. Hey you can have that too for filming an evil movie however, remember that at the end of the movie God always triumph.

Oh I know you love being frightened and it makes you stronger. Why not without those broken news then there's no breaking news. Money is what's missing. People have no money. It's like poverty can stop the living and the many good things and works that need to be finished and money is the problem and money is the root of evil.

The point is we are alive and helping the economy is through the power of money. Money is actually not evil at all. I don't know who made such abnormal quote that "Money is the root of evil." Let us all yell and scream ((( " Without money everything and everybody is evil." ))) Is that okay? Bucks > is all we need. lol.

Oh my, is that quote makes you happier than thou? Good inspirational humor is what we all need in times of the grimm reaper's time.

For the GOOD NEWS that we are all waiting for sometime has finally been set to jolly existence... The Roman Catholic devotees celebrate the dual CANONIZATION OF SAINTS: Pope John Paul II and Pope John XXIII. The new Pope Francis celebrates the Mass and the canonization today at the Vatican City in Rome. What could be the reason for the immediate celebration and official ceremonial event? Other Popes in the past have to wait a century or hundred years before having to be canonized? Simply the answer would be MANY MIRACULOUS or MIRACLES attributed to establish a fact that the two Holy Popes are indeed sending and providing MIRACLES to their devotees. However, even before, even when he was still alive, Pope John Paul II already is the living saint for his numerous miraculous works for the billions of baptized Roman Catholics around the world.

PEACE BE WITH YOU! It's Sunday remember.

Do you know a LIVING SAINT in our time?

The Many Causes Of Earthquake

WEIRD and BIZARRE Earthquake! What could be the CAUSE of EARTHQUAKE? How many times you survive earthquake in your life time? Well don't take this as funny, ridiculous or something to be ignored. Earthquake is real and can be very fatal.

1. Most of the time the cause of earthquake is VOLCANIC. Everytime active volcanoes spewed fumes and lava from its mouth the tremors are felt. Because volcanoes have its "tentacles" like giant veins branching out in different direction underneath the very core of the island or depends where the volcano is located.

2. P WAVE and S WAVE. The representation of these two different waves are seen and represented in the movie WE WERE SOLDIERS.

P WAVE = slowly changed its direction. Slow down its function abruptly.

S WAVE= STOP the wave abruptly entirely.

3. TECTONIC

4. CATATONIC

5. SOLAR FLARES. Bombardments of radiation, direct hit from the SUN to the ground.

6. NUCLEAR TEST

7. SAM > Surface Air Missile

8. CONVECTION

9. SHIFTING OF PLATES

10. MOUNTAIN FORMATION

11. DRILL

12. ASTEROID

13. ELECTRIC CURRENT

14. CONTINENTAL DRIFT

15. GAS EXPLOSION

16. FRACKING

17. MOHORAVIC

18. MASSIVE CARRIER that anchors to the island

19. INFRASTRUCTURE

Earthquake!

I was watching a popular television show on our TV when suddenly I felt somekind of movement. I first thought I was feeling kind of dizzy and nausea then I looked up on our ceiling and noticed the ceiling fan that was off is moving strangely. Oh my I think there's an earthquake. I know what an earthquake feels like. I survived two earthquakes before. First when I was at a very young age, wayback in the Quezon province. Second time was when the earthquake struck its intense magnitude in city of Manila. It's not a massive earthquake compared to the quake in Baguio City and in Japan that's all I can say. I know it's intensity and magnitude. However this quake is not as devastating. From what I heard it was only 6.7 on richter scale. The quake lasted for about 90 seconds I think. The feeling is like being inside the MTR or LRT. The effect is being seated in a hammock.

Anyway, I first thought only me who have noticed the sudden earthquake but seeing the news cast last night made me aware that the quake was also felt from Vancouver island to Kelowna. Imagine that eh?

What could be the cause? Tectonic? Volcanic? Catatonic? Fracking? Infrastructure? Mining? So many questions yet so little bit of info. out there. We may never know because the stolen 900 SINs they cannot answer nor know why only 900 was stolen and for what? Too many absolute strange stories that we may never find answer because some of them maybe are "pranks, trick and treats."

But can you fake earthquake? Who will fake it?

Very strange and bizarre movement. Hmmm...anyway there are so many things to do and many ways to make my day a little better than previous days. Once in a while problems of others get in the way wherein I cannot help them because I have a problem of my own.

The best thing that we could do is to attend to our own problems and find that solution to such problem just use your brain because you have that in the first place to think and find solution to whatever conflict you are to deal with. You are alive and therefore something is possible. You know what I mean? When you are alive you can do something to make things life worth living.

Forever A Blogwriter

You may wonder why I keep on writing and blogging. I think it's already automatically click to my brain, to my mind that writing is already in my DNA even before I was born. Since it is in my genetic code I will forever write and blog to my heart's desire and nobody can stop me. Envious? Jealous? Why don't you write? Write what makes you jealous and envious about other people's achievements?

Hurray!!!!!!!!!! I know you love reading my blogs. Well have to post them all here at my BLOGS so that you wont come to my home and burglarize us. You don't need to hack my blogs because you can read my blogs here at BLOGGER anyway. Okidoki?

So what's really the best of the blast for today? Well, you wont believe that I have added the iCarly cast from the nickoldeon.com. I have added Victorious because the cast and characters they played are my daughter Tamara's favorites. My daughter and I love to laugh. We love comedy and humorist people are good for the conscience. Being happy is being beautiful. I'd like to add the BTR or Big Time Rush group of pop singers however which one is the original group? Looks like so many of their group's name are listed on Google+ and which is the genuine pop group? We watched them everyday on TV and why not I add them right? The only problem with those TV series are: mostly replays. I wish they produce new episodes.

Why not add my friends? My friends are Facebook loyalists. I like Facebook too but I like Google and Google+ because my blogs are Google-oriented formally formatted for Blogger-Google not Facebook.

Why bother to write and blog when I can just take "notes and images" from Google, Bing's and other websites some interesting images to post so that I can have million clicks? Truth to that matter is better to have originality and it's better to make, create, invent, discover a new idea based from own idealistic purpose. I must admit that there comes a time that I have to use one or two images from Google images and make sure that I also mention from where it comes from to show courtesy and respect from the original creator. However some images are created anonymously and some images in the internet are being passed around through out by millions of people and God knows who owned those images without names of the artist.

It's Easter Sunday and my husband is working. He doesn't know holiday or any day of the year because he keeps working. I'm glad there is nightime for him to sleep and take a good night's rest. A while ago he brought home a box of Tim Horton's muffins (cranberry, blueberry , nuts, maple flavor) and 2 bags of bagels with blueberries and another box of Single Serve cup coffee. My husband and I are coffeeholic sipping hot-brewed coffee 3 to 4 cups daily. Hmm...I should plant coffee bean plant here in Vancouver Island. Ha ha ha ! That's ridiculous right? With the cold weather here it's impossible to raise coffee plants. The pineapple that I planted outside the yard didn't make it so a coffee plant is impossible to grow here. ONLY maybe when coffee bean plantation is covered like in a "hot house" just like the hot house tomatoes which are grown indoor during winter. Then I looked on another side of the fence...and noticed that the neighbor's cherry tree is blooming once again with its radiant white flowers and all the while our cherry trees are having its dainty sweet pink baby flower blossoms. Wait another 2 weeks and their branches and twigs will be covered with its flowers. It's late bloomers, this time of the year. But that's fine because when Japan and other parts of Canada had their cherry blossoms gone because they blossomed so early mid March their flowers withered earlier and our trees will have its blossoms until summer. Isn't that wonderful?

For the meantime let me admire the blossom of this violet colored flower called "Viola" which is a specie of Pansy family. I took snapshots in different angles of this Viola flowers for my own perusal. I love the dark violet color of this dainty fragile flower. Actually three toned colors: violet, purple and yellow core. Lovely, pretty and beautiful.

 Smile! Make people happy. lol.

Easter Greetings

 

To begin with the New Day of hope and eternal peace, it's not that I am being very religious but the point here is every Catholic children in the world that were baptized and christianized always believe in the doctrines of God and whatever is read from the Holy Bible.

 

Catholic and Christians believed in everything that GOD makes thing possible even if doesn't make sense for some of us

Seeing is believing

However miracles are miracles and not all what you can see and perceived by the eyes are true but can touch your heart and mind

Something unexplainable yet you believe for the promise that You are saved and the rest will follow.

 

 



 

 

 My very first Faberge egg is 24 years old. I couldn't believe that I brought it here in Canada. From HK to Philippines to here. I first thought I've lost this one. What a miracle! Thank you God!

 

Christmas, Easter and every special occasion, holidays, most especially birthdays

There is that kind feeling of wishing and greeting everyone the best of everything to make them happy

 

Greetings great or small even without gifts on hand just simple greeting is best gift ever for as long as it comes from the heart. How lovely, how honest words of wisdom and how it is simply better to be kind to each and everyone.

Life's Ups and Downs

I first thought the hell with gardening but when neighbors are out in the yard tending to their garden I felt the shame that I should look after too about our front yard and back yard. I must admit that I don't like being outside because I am not an Outdoorsy person. I hate hot, hot weather. It's hard to open up my eyes when the weather is hot. But yesterday the weather is just right, not so hot and not so cold so together with my daughter Tamara who helped me dig those stubborn weeds out from the garden. Those grass that should not be there in the first place but they keep coming out from the ground dunno why. It's hard to pull out those dandy lions. I know they have those dandy bright yellow dainty flowers that beautify the lawn however they are stubborn weeds. My husband was out in the yard in the complex to do his first grass cutting for this year at the lawn. The green grass grows so fast and weekly trimming or lawnmowing is mandatory. Gas? Oh no! The price of gas is higher this time of the year.

A bucketful of those stubborn wild grass and the bucket is really heavy and we are sweaty from working outside then it's time to go inside the house. To our shock our computer and television are not working properly. Their function was abruptly halt to a stop. Our computer connection ? What happened to our computer? The connection was disconnected? How could that happen? We are paying internet fees on time. We are paying TV connection on time!!!!!! What's wrong? Then as I browsed to the TV channels there are channels with its function but with images that stop for few minutes like as in "buffering." "Computerized programming." Somebody is messing up with our computer and TV. Then there's that messages about intializing and if we want to connect we have to contact the provider in Quebec. Uhm, why in Quebec when we are living here in British Columbia. Awful? Awkward? The "hacker" is from Quebec? What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Instead of watching the regular TV that's having malfunction, we rented the movie AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY. Know what this movie of the dysfunctional family is really something for you to watch and listen carefully to their dialogue and all the lies, deception, secrets and the dramatic sequences those drama queens have in store for so many years are then compiled all together and the result is "explosive." Thought provoking, Meryll Streep is such a good actress capable of making every character role she portrays as nothing to her prowess. Her acting is superbly powerful and captivating. The theme of the movie is somewhat grimm and dark with few humorous adlibs and every scene is interesting. Watch for the loud tones, frank dialogues. Watch the many different facial expressions of Meryll Streep and Julia Roberts as they both play and tackle their roles in how they provide magnetism to the characters they portrayed in this movie. I found the movie very intriguing and frightening like bad spirit is within that house and the women are being possessed. Meryll, in her portrayal as Mrs. Weston and mother of those 3 women whose lives have problems of their own. Their Mother who was suffering with debilitating cancer and taking prescription drugs that made her so ill and dying but verbally abusive and smoking non-stop. She had cancer and she smokes like a chimney. Her drugs include valium, oxycontin and other powerful drugs that can make her explode and be loud and scream like as if riding in a roller coaster. I think that's what happened when the house looks over fifty years old, maybe hundred years old house (colonial)  and the antique furnitures are dusty, who knows maybe moldy. Maybe a touch of good colorful paint can help but the plot story is about dysfunctional family so maybe the house that is unappealing can show how cancer is viewed in very perspective way. Anyway, blame it on what's in the wide open space in Oklahoma. Where your neighbors are hundred miles away from your house. Aliens walked the fields, maybe. Nope there's no aliens in that movie. You just have to feel there are invisible aliens in that movie causing havoc to their lives. I like Meryll's dialogue about beauty that when you are old you don't look beautiful. And the only true beautiful in Hollywood is Elizabeth Taylor but she wears tons of make up.



In that movie Osage County, nobody wears the make-up except Meryll. They showed their natural facial complexion, with all the sunburnt, freckles and wrinkles. Too much effect of lighting. Lighting is a drug, you used too much of it then it affects your health. Compromise.

After watching the movie, our television still is defective. Actually the Program still is initializing...

It was just two days ago when the Telus agent called us if we need help or something then call him with his calling card on the table. We didn't call. When my son came home from work he was able to fix the problem. Yehey! My son can now fix the TV and Computer. Bravo!

It's the replays that we cannot fix. Why we have to pay for those replays?

Excuse moi for my Sarcasm.

 Aside from buying groceries locally which is encouraged every now and then to the people who live within the community, right buying and selling helps the community economically. Not only that you have to buy the goods locally but also you have to be a part of the fundraising event.

I don't know if this is by force but hopefully it is in good faith and has a good purpose and cause that benefit the community.

 

 Chocolates! Chocolates! So sweet and  delicious.

 

 Something a little bit salty? TRY this PIZZA ! Because something sweet can be so annoying for a while. Sweet, salty, how about something sour?

Sinigang is sour. Buy something that is sour like sour candies.

Actually there is nothing wrong with helping people who are fundraising especially if its for the GOOD CAUSE. I don't mind. If there is money or extra money to spare something less than ten dollars why not help, right? Think that it's good to be of "good standing within the community" just for the sake that it's better to help than be helped. It's better to give than to receive.

 

THINK that you are already helping  the government, your community and your country when you buy goods and services because you are paying PST ( Provincial Sales Tax) and GST ( Government Sales Tax). What I want is for the GOVERNMENT TO BE CONSCIENTIOUS and DO THEIR WORK PROPERLY. There are so many charities out there who are non-stop soliciting money, cash and cheque. They solicit every cent, pennies, any coins and cash, cheque through all mediums of communication as if everyone is rich and those charities are very, very poor. Canada is a wealthy country why so many charities are all over this country? What is wrong? I don't mind few charity that are known already to help people who are with disability but for every problem that arised there is that charity. Or are they making problems so that they can build a charity? There are over hundred charities already. Are you really putting them in the right direction? Or you are sending them offshore for others to benefit for it? You must realized that Canadians and other people living in this country are not rich. The country are rich with natural resources but they are RESERVES. Most of the natural resources are not to be touched until such time like the forest trees that will take fifty to hundred years before you can harvest them. When forest industry is reserved for the next generation therefore you must conserve and therefore we all suffer. Mining industry is also "reserved for future use" that's why minerals such as coin mint are stopped because mining has to stop so that earthquake can be prevented. Really there are millions of gas reserves. There is so much gas and oil in Alberta and that alone can finance the budget of Canada every year. So why the charity? Are the charity organizers from outside other countries? Oh right we have to help the poor. Who are the poor in this country when almost every one here have good homes and expensive vehicle? Is there poor family in Canada? So many elite in Canada. And mind 'ya it's the ELITEs who are doing the fundraising. Can't snub the elites. You must snob the poor asking for alms. Eh? Oh my sarcasm. Excuse me.

I AM NOT RUDE,  I AM AN OPINIONATED BLOGGER. JUST HERE TO VOICE OUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE THINKING. REMEMBER I CAN READ PEOPLE's MINDs.

Have to help the elite because we want them to be richer by the hour after hour. It's a shame if we cannot help them reach their goal. It's embarrassing we don't help them especially in time for the Lent. We have to make them happy while we sacrifice ourselves not having good supper and no holidays in the Bahamas, Mexico, Tahiti and Barbados. Uhm, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe we have to help the rich so that they can help the poor. Wait a minute, who am I then. Who are we? You think we are in the middle of this situation that's been on and on and on?

IT's GOOD TO HELP. IT's GREAT FOR THE CONSCIENCE.

Oh no! Just asking. By the way our gas for this month is $117.00/month. Our internet is over $40 and TV bill is $100/month and what else? Hydro, cleaning supply, gardening supply? Maybe no need to do some gardening, hehehhe.  I read the local newspaper and reminded me of  THE PROPERTY TAX.  Only one person works at our home because there is not much employment here in Canada. I worked here at Blogger, Google and Facebook and just like so many millions of us we are not paid for our good work. The rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer. Tell me why. I can tell you more of my knowledge in ECONOMICS from the beginning to end even from  Before Christ. Even before when there is no man's land.

Good Friday

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF and BE GOOD TO YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS.

Complaints

Complaints and more complaints coming out like yin-yang.

What's the problem nowadays? People love to complain whether somebody will provide solution or not. It's better to air grievances rather than let it hide or be kept inside your mind and in your thoughts because one of those days the hidden thoughts will explode in the form of heart attack.

Look at those young teens who are non-stop texting and calling their friends because they want to be heard and listened to. They always want a shoulder to cry on. They want a non-hypocrite critic who will absorb their problems for the meantime that they were a loss cause. What's the role of teenagers in our generation?

Teens should be able to survive High School. Teens should be able to survive what's happening in their own home. Difficult situation of parents divorce, ailments, disability and whatever the members of the family is having difficulty with. That for every difficulty do you think the government should always be the guiding force? Religious affiliation is one force outside family that help and support teens. Your close friends and close relatives as the extension of your family could help maybe if they are not so busy and self-absorbed.

I think my teens have passed that stage. Not in their "teens" anymore so they are legible as legal voters and hopefully will mature just like anybody else who are over twenty years of age. When it comes to work, my son works with his Dad in contractual construction work. I was hoping that he will attend university after summer and pursue Environmental Science. It is what Canada needs, grads of Env.Sci knowing what Canada is made of geographically, demographically, enviromentally, economically and politically in today's world. Let us open the young Canadian minds on what they can do for their country and they wont be of help to their country if Canada's government wont help to support the dreams of our youth. Help your own people not the people from other countries.

Is that clear? EDUCATION first as the main focus of budget. From that base then you can manage to do something worthwhile. It will give you the BASIC TECHNIQUE to do what is righteous, what is the right approach first step to second step and all the steps that you will need to excel.

Baby's Steps? Try it maybe it will help.



My two kids (twins) are self-absorbed in technology. Computer world is what makes them busy 14 hours a day. It is what they have studied at school. Hard to believe.

Anyway there are four women who are vying for my attention as if they have nothing to do and their eyes and mind are always looking at the teleprompter on how they will tackle today's important aspect of their life. I wonder who their producer and their writer but it seems to me that they are always "targeting" me for their shows everyday. WHY? They have mind of their own right? Oh you think that the Black Box is located here. Every TELUS CISCO TV subscriber has BB. What a BB is? BF Skinner of Harvard University owned a Black Box. What it does is the wiring sends signals and HIT whoever that BB wants to hit. It is like being pinch on your skin. Sometimes it's like a bug bite and nothing to be concerned of. Sometimes it's severe HIT that you can scream that it really HURT! IT DOES! Think of it as Haley's comet that hit your skin instantly. It burns. It's radiation dude! Invisible radiation.

For those who were severely hit their HOUSES get burnt. Seriously. Other may explode self combustion. From the top hitting down to the house. There is that kind of hit from down below your house if your house is located within a tunnel. WHO IS REALLY is  SENDING THE HIT?

ANSWER: I don't know.

However I noticed that the HIT is more often than not when I'm taking my naptime in the afternoon. Or if I don't SEND them my daily REPORT just like this BLOG NOTEs.

I think my blog note or composition is their life blood to live. They used my blog for their work. And they are paid but not me. Unfair? It is so UNFAIR.

I think GOD didn't give them the brain to write and they inflict so much injury. They always are hungry for something to read.

For sometime BC taxpayers are paying 14 % PST AND GST. I remember when I first arrived here in Canada in 1992 people are paying 14% tax for every goods and services. Then three years ago they introduced the HST which didn't last long because of too many complaints they received from the people who are already deep down in debts. The PST and GST once again was put back to the long haul but this time in BC or British Columbia the GST = 5% and PST= 7% Total of 12 %

Would you believe that I'm paying 14% in some other stores? Maybe because their TILL is not yet fixed after being set up for HST. Now that GST & PST has returned to its order proper tax rate for every province of Canada (varies differently). Different tax rate maybe based on the income of each province and based on its GNP or Natural resources.

What GST & PST means: GST stands for Government Sales Tax and PST stands for Provincial Sales Tax. You must observe that there are provinces without PST because of its natural reserves maybe. Alberta has no PST to pay because the province is rich in natural gas and oil. Alberta is the grazing land for cattles, pigs and poultry and other live stocks. No PST and GST but with HST to pay for Ontario because of its water resource and the huge dome bring in too much revenue. It is highly industrialized province and within Rogers are people who are probably employed by APPLE.

It's the GST & PST that taxpayers pay everytime they buy anything everyday is what makes Canada richer by the hour. How?

You bought a brand new car worth $30,000 (+ PST&GST =12%)

$30,000+12% (3,600) = $ 33,600 12%= 3,600

The $3,600 tax is a big sum of money. You can buy a second hand car with that amount. That's already a one month's rent for a mansion. That's 3 month's grocery bill for a family of 5.

You bought a new 3 bedroom house worth $ 350,000 (+PST & GST)

$350,000+$42,000 tax = $392,000

What $42,000 will give you? A brand new car, a boat, and maybe a seadoo.

The huge taxes you are paying for every goods and services can make somebody else RICHer.

To augment complaints as a taxpayer, sometimes you receive REFUND and GST chegues quarterly. Thanks to the donations you made to "charity" and thanks to the many coins you have donated for certain cause.

Most of all rich highly industrialized countries can CONTROL their weather. Chosen people can have FREE MEDICAL AID, Security in the form of pension and UI and EI, Free Education and grants. The GOVERNMENT is now a GOVERNMENT of the people, by the people and for the people.

COMPLICATED? Then it's for you to inquire to Government's Office. They are paid to do their work and you must be served by them.

Addendum: Why government cannot balance the budget? There are numerous people who cannot pay and wont pay taxes. There are people who evade taxes. There are people who paid thr. loopholes. There are people who are hiding, in disguised, and sanctions and treaty and connections made these people hard to approach. besides balancing the budget is a policy trap. It happened during the Truman's and Roosevelt's era. The deficit is too high, revenue is too low to even be recorded ... it's a shame.

What a country that function only just to bring in loopholes and donation? There is no country that functions that way, that's impossible. That's why tama na ang bolahan.

FAREWELL Mr. JIM FLAHERTY. The former Minister of Finance was finally laid to rest. The MP of the Conservative Party has helped so many Canadians. It was in his time that the taxes were lowered and low income families are receiving the benefit they deserved. He helped so many people with disability, his latest issue about  income splitting seems to be a dream for so many who wait but that dream wont be a reality now that he is dead. He died of a heart attack on April 10, 2014 (1949-2014)  and his life's memories are remembered in the eyes of his family and close friends, including his fellow-MPs at the House of Commons. Whatever your sister wants to call you : James, Jimmy, Jim, Sumi, etc, is that a joke? Requiescat en pace!  Rest in peace Mr. Flaherty.

They will keep on singing not dancing.

Hopefully the new Finance Minister of Canada will abolish the PST and GST , imposed double  tax on exports and luxurious items instead and maybe that will bring new  economic trend in the face of Canadian Economy and Politics combined.

Accept legal immigrants that pay for their legal entrance to Canada instead of refugees without proper documentation  and pay for their stay in Canada for free? Who are you protecting if that's the role of government?

GOD HELP US and may GOD drive the devils, the demons away from us.

LOBBIES Is Not Kulang?

Once in a while have to signed out from my Facebook account because there's no need to be there 24 hours a day as if I am the internet police. Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg probably has their own net police or security to monitor the website. Facebook should have their own security besides what billions of dollars a company like Facebook without SECURITY right? Hopefully they are more "people" instead of robots or else they have to pay bigger income tax.

iRobot is a movie and would you rather have iRobots to do the policing the websites where good people almost declared EVRYTHING about them? How much HONESTY every website throughout the internet system needs?

Okay no iRobots but are there so many LOBBIES?

What LOBBIES are known for anyway? LOBBIES are political representative, they are the PAID GROUP. Members of CONGRESS or those who are paid HIGHER BY THE GOVERNMENT; GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS paid LOBBIES to perform their duties for them so that the COST is minimized, without the government officials taking all the blame. Anything that is COSTLY can be minimized or be paid lesser still is the WORK IS DONE and makes the government looks "beautiful again in the face and eyes of the people living in the country." See that's how simple it is to govern.

Not understood well enough? Sounds complicated? Do we need the lawyer's terminology for the process of grandeur and pompous elaborate government service? Then eliminate the LOBBIES so that DEFICIT IS HIGHER and YOU THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE THE BURDEN OF PAYING TAXES UP TO HEAVEN. And because the deficit is rocket sky-high and nobody can afford it then there's rumor upon rumors of war.

Yup the government without lobbies is revealed as very dramatic. It could be the Marie-Antonette style of lavish spending just to make things right, perfect and awesome. It's so aweSUM that everyone's fearful. The sum of all fears eh? lol It could be fabricated. There are something in HISTORY that doesn't make sense. It seems to me that for every one hundred years the story is almost the same what was changed were names, dates, and manner of execution plus of course new inventions and discoveries that evolution and revolution comes at a time when there's a need to change or renew the tent attached to the highest OBELISK or going (mass migration) to the other side of the pole either North Pole or South Pole.

Are You In For The Quest?

Did you know that there are so many of my batchmates who do not know me? Only my close friends, very close friends who knew me aside from my own family. I think that those "people" are so absorbed about themselves. Who those PEOPLE are? People who needs people? LOL.

I can talk by myself. I can live alone if I want to. But because no man is an island is favored by majority of the population let the island have people instead of bugs.

LONG TIME AGO:

While me I have to know all the people around me. Within the area where I live in the barangay within the town proper, within the city. I have to. I helped my Mother with the surveying of the area pertaining to its population, who are newcomers within the vicinity of the place where she is assigned as District president. My sister was the KBL President also had the task to sign-in the local teenagers so that they can participate in the activities provided by the local government. Volunteering in the sports program, green revolution, beautification project and cleanliness project. It also include several fundraising parties, outing (swimming), other activity about creativity or crafts.

Busy minding other people that sometimes I don't really have time for myself. I don't know, maybe it was traditionally passed on to us by our ancestors that we have to look after OTHER PEOPLE aside from our own family.

My Mother worked as a civilian employee, at the Chief Nurse Office in the military hospital which is adjacent to our home. It was just a walking distance from our home that I used to visit her in her place of work. My Father also worked in the Hospital at the administration office where I also stayed for a while for few minutes of reading. The Hospital is my LIBRARY. With all the medical book, JAMA journal of Medicine, Readers Digest, Panorama, all kinds of newspapers from Manila Standard to Manila Bulletin and Daily Express. All these newspaper, magazines are my normal regular source of NEWS aside from TV NEWS and RADIO. I keep myself informed, entertained, and be knowledgeable in time when I have to feed my young mind in my battle to the "Quest."

Now > which is the future it is the same battle. However the battle has a different phase, trend and strategic in the sense that what knowledge is the basis of truth, which one is about lies and fiction and most of all what information are based on facts? Are we living in the present generation that most of the information are fabricated because everyone owns a computer. Anybody with lots of financial capability can rule the world and everyone will follow that someone even if at the end of the world because simply they have to eat everyday and they have to live. Who wants to die anyway? Would you like to work as a bait and a hook?

That is absolutely not my kind of work. Let Jesus do that kind of work or let GOD do the work of a fisherman.

To See Is To Believe?

HAVE YOU SEEN IT? You have seen it, you saw what was happening in this war in WE WERE SOLDIERS. According to Col. Moore ( Mel Gibson) his soldiers should tell everyone about what happened in the "Valley of Death." Broken arrow (event of nuclear disaster) was seen and detected and he wants the casualty and overall damage be recorded and reported.

RATING:  WIDE EYE & BUSHY TALE


In MR. NICE GUY the movie of Jacky Chan, the police chief and his men all promised themselves THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. With all the mess, wreckage and all that happened in the abduction of Jacky's girlfriend, the death on the side of the mobsters, all the bad things that they were not able to prevent, control and were not able to protect the innocent...THEY DON'T KNOW NOTHING. THEY DIDN't SEE ANYTHING!

RATING:  KNOW-NOTHING


MOVIES are really used to INFORM and let the PEOPLE , the viewers to judge the movie based on its story and the moral code that everyone should be a part of.

In the movie GOOD LUCK CHUCK the movie about a dentist and a bachelor who is played by Dane Cook had a fling with his patient played by Jessica Alba who is working as animal trainer for the penguins, who is an accident prone woman and despite the oddities behind them, they fell in love and the ending is at least a good one. Did they live happily in Antarctica?

Another movie worth watching is the movie EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH starring Dane Cook again who has much resemblance with Ben Stiller and Jesse Eisenberg a good combination for comedy. In this movie, the singer star sensation Jessica Simpson played the role of a cashier in this movie who works at the same big box store. Two employees compete for the "Employee of the month." Zac Bradley (Dane Cook) and another actor who played Downey. Watch this movie and you'll find out who really is the best employee of the month. Make sure your eyes and vision are sharp and can you see the difference? Be careful with those code scanner please or you'll zap somebody and might lead to cancer. What made me laugh or the funniest line is of the grandma's that " Zac should always clean his balls." Yeah, Zac clean your balls. Follow your grandma's advice.

Winter season withered the plant

Hopefully it will rise up and be resurrected for spring to summer.



What A Difference A Day Makes

I was shocked yesterday and today I am more than surprised of what's happening with the trend at Google+ I must consider myself as a geeky nerd. Nerdy without much knowledge on computer new apps. I'm too slow compared with the rest of the world who are already using Google+ for more than a year I think.


Why I like Blogger the classic format or the original format? Simply because the Apps in the original version is what we only need as a blogwriter the rest of the many hundred apps are pain in the butt. The use of many buttons to search and link ourselves can be a waste of time. By the time we're all finished googling our face are already swollen red so you must have to apply UV Protection first. Your new computer is the NEW SUN that will give you ultra violet rays. I'm not kidding. Think that when you are about to be hit with arrow you have to flip on another side either to the left or to the right. Try the neo-matrix style to cover yourself from being hit.

Oh, know what? Go to Staples store and find out if they have a very thin film protection for computer screen, that filter screen will help reduce radiation. Hopefully.


Yeah, I must admit "I'm crawling at the new apps at Google+" I am reluctant to touch the buttons and the many additional links. I am reluctant to add people I haven't met personally. I am afraid of strangers. I only added only few people in the circle because I have those writers in my "favorites with the stars." because I used to read their blogs. I think we have "same thing in common."

It could be very complicated at first. Maybe. To learn something new is better than doing the same kind of apps everyday. It's great for people over 50. Ha ha ha! J/K.

I like to add some of those people with blogs I frequently read on daily basis. They learned from me and I learned from them. It was more than an ecological approach or symbiotic to the cause of blogging.

Sinners Or Saints?

 My husband told me to pick those fuschia- red flowers and cut them for the flower vase. Another sign of Spring, these camellia flowers are abundant and in radiant bloom this time of the year. However because I have allergy and this kind of plant has so many bugs I opted not to bring the flowers inside the house.

I might spray a baygon or insecticide to shoo those bugs away. Pretty flowers though, good to look at the front porch of the house. So many buds around its herbaceous structure. Its dainty flowers resemble that of tea rose species.

Literally.

You wont believe that I had this bagel with Havarti cheese for dinner the other day. DINNER as in supper!  Supper not breakfast! My family had chicken for dinner and I have to have a different supper. No, it's not suffering it's simply extra-ordinary supper.

 

Oh my what a lovely chair I have. I want to cover it with something colorful and something bright however when I saw the dainty textured lace from my cabinet I decided that white lace with beautiful exquisite design is my best option. I am not being classy or social here it's just sometimes my "taste" is out of this world.

 

I LOVE to see something beautiful. I hate watching ugly or fugly. My grandmother used to tell me to always look at something beautiful because whatever is beautiful will reflect on my face, conscience, attitude, mind and heart.

 

All that is evil in this world is consider ugly. Envy is an ugly thing and so as jealousy. Beautiful people with beautiful heart do not posses those evil wicked ways. Did you know that?

 

I know that there are so many ugly bad news out there and God knows what our Dear Lord God will do about them.

HOLY WEEK

is fast approaching do you have anything to do aside from tempting

 and provoke so many sinners? They are already sinners you know.

Fact Or Fiction?

YOU asked me how many bloggers can blog so many times and everyday at the most? How they can write so many stories, so many things and stuff in their mind on daily basis? What's goin' on?

SIMPLE! When human beings decided to keep quiet and talking becomes a boring subject AS IF WE ARE ALL DEAF MUTE, as if there's nobody around and nobody wants to talk and nobody wants to listen then WRITING becomes a FAD. It's the new trend.

Whatever is inside your mind is being written not being said. WRITTEN is the word.

Watch out though. Not all written words are true and real. IT COULD BE FICTION not facts.

FICTION is stranger than TRUTH or TRUTH is stranger and stronger than FICTION.

It's up to you rather it's up to you to believe.

That's why there is the need to talk or write something meaningful about YOURSELF or the OTHERS:

At least this is not the blog that only main focus is bird and many birds of different feathers. Ayan nagbagsakan ang mga feathers sa backyard namin daming birds doon eh. Spring time kasi they are busy looking for food. What a unbelievable timing. I watched the old movie BIRDS of Alfred Hitchcock many years ago and had watched that horrible suspense thriller months ago...again. Tippi Hedren the star of that movie which is the mother of the Hollywood star Melanie Griffith as the movie was reproduced in technicolor and in better shape that its old version Tippi looks more like Lady Gaga. Digitally altered? How that happened? Am I the only one who can recognized the renewed version? Anyway, that's the problem with technology there is that mannequin look version of every human beings, like that of my photos as if flawless and perfect. It should not be that way but what can we do with "photoshopped version? It's not my fault. It has something to do with LIGHTING. Thanks LIGHT! LOL. Many supermodels are also thankful for those photoshopped image of themselves on magazine. Ha ha ha! Thank the lights and lighting and thank your digital artist.

What else? SEDUCING DOCTOR LEWIS is a good movie? Even if I had problem reading the subtitles at the bottom of the screen while at the same time stare at the moving characters on the screen watching their reactions on TV screen. It was a French movie but it's good. I mean the plot of the story is bad, wicked, wiretapping secrecy, fun-filled with lies and deception but that's how they want to seduce the only doctor they know who will cure them and stay for good in a very remote fishing village in a small island with only 120 inhabitants. Do you think their wicked strategy works? Find it out.

Then rented the movie 47 RONIN , the latest movie of Keanu Reeves. My daughter likes the movie trailer so we watched it the full length movie this afternoon. The setting is great, scenic, beautiful village with cherry blossom trees, clean and in order village, the costumes are colorful and lively. The fighting scenes are sort of natural of the samurais and ninjas fast and quiet taking-over of the opponent's main domain. The Honor Code is the main event of the movie and in order to cleanse the samurais' definition of the code the execution of hara-kiri is performed according to tradition of the samurai members only. One young man was spared from the execution because he is the youngest, maybe he is good looking pretty boy or because he is not a samurai and his purpose for the whole tribe maybe will lead to their own survival. The movie represents the swift justice system without the full extent of the law. Ancient history honors the Samurai code and they have to live by it. It wont be that tragic story if only they know who are blind and who are mentally disabled. Find out if its the same cultural conflict during the Bhramaputra's hunt for the monkeys to be used as talisman.

NOW? Because the modern society allows COMPASSION and because HUMANITY must survive it must begin with DIPLOMACY. You are a human being capable of forgiveness and human being must be humane first. Cast thy first stone and there you go for the PASSION OF CHRIST that wont go away...JESUS CHRIST saving the sinners and saving the whole WORLD.

Costly Blogging

You mean you are really that ADDICTED TO BLOGGING? I know so many MILLIONS OF US are addicted to technology. The modern technology that sweeps our generation and the next generation to come. COMPUTER technology is simply irresistible and there's no stopping now because you have all the machines, tools and gadgets to make it happen.

BLOGGING COULD BE VERY COSTLY!

Just look at these new modern gadgets, tools and machinery to start blogging for 2014. Got a new computer? Figure it out that you will need digital camera because your three year old camera wont work anymore. Your 2 to 3 year old soft wares wont work either. Because your new digital camera has new modern features you are to purchase new memory stick and card because those stick and cards from last year were already obsolete.

With Windows 8? That machine has its own facial recognition that allows only ONE user. You are the ONLY USER of that computer with its high-tech code. Anybody using that code will send anybody in the slammer. Great? It's safer for us who are not corrupt? What if the computer was already been bugged before you have it? You opened your computer and knowing everything is safe and secured then it was already bug infested?


Right! Technology offers PARANOIA everywhere. When you are not strong enough and not so brave enough there's always presence of CONSPIRACY. It's the NORMALCY of technology esp. when its super HIGH-TECH.

How to find out? Just cry a river. We are all in this technology where and when everyone is a suspect.
The more the merrier MAKE A MOVIE!

Start your Math knowledge and you'll find out for yourself that blogging is not for those lonely lame ducks. It is for those who have the right tools, machines, connection and the right idea but precisely you don't need to be computer savvy to know it all for as long as you know how to type, write a composition that no one ever has or rather with your knowledge, natural intelligence ZOOM in and you're in the right direction.

But how many times, so many of us gets frustrated with this line of work? It's a work without a benefit or in other words without compensation. Well duh, for now it has no salary or wages for the blogging but the advertisement should pick up something out there.

I should have posted the many tools and equipments my husband owned for his job as a carpenter, painter and yard and landscape administrator, care taker and manager. Hard work decent job. Maybe those garden tools, carpenter's tools and machineries will garner so many of those people who would like to buy the same tools for their work. But knowing every households here in Canada had their flyers, pamplets supplied by their paperboys from the news publisher publication.

Simply one can rationally point out that life in the blogworld is more than just a LEISURE and a HOBBY but for the fortunate few blogging is a BUSINESS WITH PAY. How that happened? They allow so many ADVERTISEMENTS in their BLOGS that sometimes the BLOGS look like its been infested with bugs. You clicked one blog of that "famous blogger" and you'll be splashed and flashed with those notorious ads that will slap you on your face and worse of all will crash your computer. That blogger probably do not know what's happening to her blog site. The browser keeps raising eyebrows and your eyebrows will raise up to high heavens too. Lots of commercials in her site that her own blog story is no longer the focus of her readers because it now belongs to the ADVERTISER. Great if the blog owner receives compensation for her blog story. If not? She is one of the many blogwriters suffering from thievery or the "plagued site" I mean plugsite.

If that happens to my BLOG? Let those advertisers PAY! No Ifs no buts.

Ready Or Not!

When it comes to GOSSIP there's no need for me to get out. The television shows are already filled with rumors, gossip and reality show that feature real-life drama (?), comedy and life's uncertainties. Really what else is new out there? Are they becoming PUSHOVER?

Are we supposed to feature gossip, rumors instead of TRUE TO LIFE drama? When it comes to Hollywood rumors are better route to stardom or depends on how those "characters" will take the fire. You know rumors are spread like wildfire. How you can handle such fire depends on how strong your character. Rest assured that once you join showbiz certainly you should be strong and versatile otherwise better QUIT.

Watch the POLICE ACADEMY movie and it shows you that the Academy wants to train new trainees (police) but the management want each one of them to resign or quit early before they graduate. Because the truth to that vocation or occupation is about being strong, courageous, being tough as in tougher than hardened criminals, with good moral code, exemplary character, strong healthy mind and body. Psychologically and mentally fit without any vice. This is also true with those who are being trained in the MILITARY. Life skills, skills in all kinds of weaponry, perfection in the code of conduct, agility, motivation, and patience. They must practice martial arts so that they don't need to resort to the use of guns and knives or sharp blades. Why the need for those traits and skills? When the occupation is strongly competitive you must produce better life skills against your competitors.

Highly competitive... so much competition out there that AMAZING RACE features the many available job or occupation that you might want to know in third world countries. When there's not much employment available in highly industrialized country and why so many of us are here inside our own home in front of computer and hope that Zuckerberg or Mr. Bill Gates will hire one of us. LOL. I heard my daughter laughing. She's laughing at what I'm typing here? Oh my! She's busy laughing at the jokes by the cartoon jokers.

HOWEVER with so many millions of us with special skills or extra ordinary skills and so many of us who are College graduates the new employment guidance is based on PAYING THE EMPLOYER to be EMPLOYED. Shocking! Thank God that it was not the economic trend during my time when I was in search for employment in 1985. It's different now where newly graduates no matter how smart they are they have to pay for their own OJT (On The Job Training).

IBA NA NGAYON ikaw ang magbabayad para magka experience to have work and or be employed. If you are rich or you belong to the Wealthy families and clan with business you should work and gain experience from your own family business > This is the RECOGNIZED employment trend nowadays that is safer, economical and successful.

Nakakainis di ba? Poor kids. Kawawa naman ang mga kabataan sa new generation na ito. The government should impose new guidelines that the students should have their OJT while being in College so that when they graduate they are READY.

Something Exotic

 

 Do I need to have a vacation? Do I need to go in another country to spend the best holiday in another country and spend lots of money so that I can have peace of mind and have little bit of happiness where and when I can see so many of those beautiful spots, wonderful sceneries just in front of my computer?

Oh I know what you will say. It's better to see Mother Nature personally, something that you can see right there with your eyes and touch what is there in front of you. Real people with national costumes of their own countries. Real food exotic food, fruits and delicacies that you haven't seen and eat in your life time. Everything will be your "first time."

How exciting that holiday would be?

Mother & Daughter Team

 

 

 I think it would be exciting for people who would like to travel to different places where everything is exotic, exquisite, something new for the eyes to see and be overwhelmed how nice to be there, feel the air, the breeze it is  and would be something different from where you have lived for the past 19 years. (This morning the news showed the smog, the bad pollution in Europe. The earthquake off the coast of Chile. The many bad news. The mystery of flight MH 370. The negative side of travelling).

Sure it would be different and a bit strange for people who are just confined at home with their TV and computers on,  the only source of entertainment that could make them happy and be entertained.
For my daughter those two indispensable tools are the most important in her life. Without those modern electronics and machine life is doomed. For so many of the young generations of today there is nothing better than TV or television set with 3000+channels and a brand new computer.  She's more than happy that we bought her a new computer with bigger storage, bigger space. Her flat screen RCA 40" TV is only 5 months old. She owns so many tech gadgets: Wii , PS3, Nintendo 3DS, and other small tech gadgets to add to her collections; all these thing surely adds happiness to her daily mobility. Thank God she doesn't own cellphone. We don't want her to own cellphone even if she wished for it.

Most young people are into this kind of "world." You think only in Canada, America and other highly industrialized countries children are technologically equipped? You wont believe that young ones in third world countries will do everything so that they are not left behind when it comes to technology.

 Whatever! This is the kind of daydreaming I have in mind. Cruising for bruising? LOL. Actually who would like to go on vacation somewhere in Quebec and see the many century old buildings?
Visit the old structures, hotels, parks, museums, speak and communicate in French.

Bienvenue! Arrivederci! Merci.

 

 Or watch the famous cute panda while it nibbles the young shoots of bamboo. Take photographs at any angle until you get tired and lose your imaginative idea because the cute panda is trying to steal your attention. I snapped a photo of this huggable panda from a Vancouver TV Show.

 Enough of the imagination. One has to eat good healthy food and this is my kind of yummy food.

For my dessert: Choice of fresh bananas, vegetable salad, nata de coco with two different flavors in mango and lychees flavor sure to make your day simply exotic.

Bon appetit!

Tictac!
