Economic Trend @ Summer Time

Global warming is so evident and TV News broadcasted news of a large cruise ship docked in Nunavut with most of the land totally without ice and snow. The iceberg has melted in that part of the world. Shocking! Really? That's Nunavut?

No wonder summer time is freakingly so hot! It was hellish hot that if it will be summer time all year through I was thinking of maybe better buy a bike or trike. Why bike or trike? To drive car or any other vehicle around is costly at summer time, gas is expensive at summer. Biking is an exercise and it's great on short distance and you don't have to buy gas to use it. It might be the remedy for those with leg problems such as arthritis, rheumatism,  leg cramps, varicose veins. etc. Cycling could or might help patients with leg problems. Exercising without the need to use the electric ramp or electric cycle.







 I looked at bikes and it doesn't appeal to me. I looked at trikes and the extra accessory basket gives me that creative feeling of  "picnic."  lol.  Or errand to purchase milk at nearby convenience store or the basket serves as to hold fresh flowers or few grocery items bought from the store. That kind of "imagination."

As I go further searching for trikes through the internet and I saw this companion dual cycle... I was kind of happy.

Darn, we could all have fun having companion cycles within the island. Neat and dandy! You and your friends can have so much fun trekking, cycling to the trails, to the path where you want to go and chat safely.

False Advertisement

Sadly, 2 of the internet ads for the "house for rent" that we looked into were actually sort of scam! What the hell! Why they have to advertise that the house is for rent when it's for sale? SCAMbugs!

Whose fault that advertisement? The internet ad operator or the realtors? For God sake why too many scammers now? They should be cast away in TWD.

Is It Raining On Your Parade?

Every afternoon there's that parade of different species of beautiful dogs and puppies (chihuaha, maltese, shih tzu, golden retriever, german shepherds, bulldogs, pitbulls, and sometimes pugs on the street where we live at the moment rather where we currently live. For two days now the parade has subsides, I wonder why. I enjoyed the parade especially because it's free. You get to watch those people whose got the love for their pets. They used the sidewalk like a stage.

Today, don't expect there'll be a parade of gorgeous dogs and puppies because it's raining. Wow! ((( It's raining on your paradeeeeeeeeeeeee ))))))

If I could only ask the dog trainers if I could choose one of those cute hush puppies for free to own then that's wonderful, right?

A small cute puppy costs much and depends on its breeding, vaccined or not groomed or not the cost is $2,500/puppy. Quite expensive! You can buy second hand car with that amount of money.

Greetings To The Highlander

I wonder lonely as a cloud MCloud... do I have to bring the storm here at the island because it's hot?

What's the latest news? The former PM of Canada Mr. Stephen Harper resigned, rather "retired" from the Parliament. The man could have been the greatest Prime Minister of Canada. He had his own legacy to be remembered by Canadians, the old original Canadians.

The new Canadians are somewhat the confused young ones (new generation) whether to keep Canada or sway to the kamikaze or go pokemon. The once serious tone of world conquest becomes a comic game of pokemon.

GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL POKEMON!

Canada was once the old ancient Japan. How big or large Japan? Once revealed in the movie "Kagemusha" that Japan can be traced from Peru, Colombia, Italy, part of China, down to Philippines to Hawaii. It's a very large island, sadly volcanic. I repeat VOLCANIC that the huge island (continent) was separated into small islands. Everytime there's a volcanic eruption another new island submerged on the ocean. Then the fools fought hard to claim it.

Tori Torah? Hard to believe? Who owns the original map of the Earth?

Too much volcanic activity beneath the land that somehow the geniuses have to make use of the lava hot source of  heatwave to produce glass, pottery, steel, coal and automobiles. Well this is Science so anybody who opposed to this statement needs to go back to High School and learn Earth Science.

I Wonder ...

I wonder kelan kaya magkakaroon ng Filipino billionaire developer sa Canada? Aahahhaha! LOL. When will I win the million dollar lottery? So that I will be the developer instead? I will buy hundreds of lots in this drama island and develop the land for future subdivision or hotels overlooking the Discovery passage.

It's not nice to say pero bakit yung mga EI ang mga asensado dito sa Canada? What happened to the Filipino race? Wala bang mayaman na Pinoy dito? How about Canadians or Americans investing in their own land? Where are they?

Problem is: Americans and Canadians would rather invest in other countries. Truth or consequence? Truth or myth?

Ewan. What's the free movie for today? Or settle to watch the daily NCIS again? Yan, ganyan ang mga Pinoys mahilig sa free. Kung saan may mura or makakatipid bakit hindi pagtyagaan. Anyway who am I kidding? We pay TV connection religiously so might as well watch TV and use it wisely for its entertaining value.

24

So many things happened in the past 24 hours around the world. The Canadian media and TV News Network welcomed the Canadian Olympic athletes who competed in RIO Summer Olympic Games. They were cheered, photographed, selfies everywhere, all smiles and laughter abound. It was a happy joyful scene of wonderful memories.

Then the rest of the news are the painstakingly unearthing of dead bodies and injured victims of rubble from the buildings that collapsed from sudden abrupt impact caused by 6.2 magnitude earthquake in Italy. According to the news 3 Italian towns were ruined due to the impact or intensity of this quake. An earthquake that left the people bewildered and others have no sense of what really happened because they were aslept.

The earthquake in Burma down to Indonesia is a lesser earthquake compared to what happened in rural area in Italy.

While the calamity in Louisiana, USA is not an earthquake but a flood. Pres. Obama arrived at the calamity struck area and offered sense of grief, rescue and relief to the victims of this devastating flood.

Amazing Race Canada contestants continued their long race from Canada to Havana, Cuba. They learned to dance the samba, squeezed juice from sugarcane with the help of the machine (one female contestant hurt her hand and was given first aid). They played volleyball under scorching heat of the sun at the beach, found the old sailboat in the museum owned by a Canadian sailor-navigator, found the house/building where the famous author  Ernest Hemingway lived and inspired to write his books. Ernest Hemingway is the author of "The Sun Also Rises" and "The Old Man & The Sea." Lastly, the contestants learned how to make "brakes or brake pads" under the workshop's roof and walls made from galvanized iron and you wonder hot hot inside that workshop that their face and body sweat is dripping like crazy. It's not really that bad in Cuba eh? Looks like they are in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, where old Spanish  buildings and vintage cars are noticeable. But no, they were actually in Havana.

Don't know yet when God and His son Jesus is coming...

It's the 24th of August and life is good no matter how hot the weather in our small town of less than 50,000 people.

???????????????????????

 To tell you the truth, our house is always the target for burglary since the time we moved out from C. Village. The first time those burglars or burglar do not know who, forced open the door of the duplex we were renting and did some nasty things such as cutting into pieces few of my clothes and underwear and had stolen important document from my attache case shown above. The burglar/thief probably doesn't know how to open the attache case, didn't know the password for the lock and maybe tossed around the attache case to force open it. Look at the damage. OMG! My gorgeous, delicate, high quality attache case made and created vertically not horizontally. Yup, the document was stolen. Somebody is in love with my complete name! Wow! Sure, I am not Patricia! Find somebody else. Don't let me drop the wrath of God at your place.

What else were stolen by thieves in every house that we stayed and lived  for the long duration in the year 2004 to 2016? Too many already! I have a check list of those missing items including the photographs.


The two kitchen rugs (shown on photo above) that went missing in year 2012 at the time when the house was for sale. Another ceramic vase went missing too. It's a ceramic vase not crystal vase. The missing expensive drapery of satin jacquard embossed design can't find that one either. Also the missing big wall frame picture of the PR Grain Elevator given to us by the Gen. Manager of PRG  missing and can't find it!

Look how clean the house that we leased or rented in the past and you'll notice how clean and shiny the counter, the floors and every corners are cleaned properly. I'm a clean freak! I used too much cleaning supply that sometimes the supply can get over $50/month to $100.00/month budget.

Toiletries, toilet tissue, paper towels supply cost $50/month depends on how many glass windows need to be cleaned and how many bathrooms and mirrors per rooms. In year 2012 the 3 bedroom house has too many wide glass windows and doors are made  with glass windows and mirrors in every room and bathrooms that paper towels are much needed to clean these glass windows and mirrors. Darn! I end up a slave for the house owner cleaning that huge house when we paid the rent regularly. We are good tenants even if my husband is a Landlord Manager for 31 unit modern townhouse. I think renting houses from upper-rich or noveau rich burgouise is a matter of  ? Renting from WHITE people is a different thing. White people have better business dealings. They follow what's in the written contract.


Currently this is the photo of the crystal vase that is missing or probably stolen. It has that special design that the thief had desire to steal it. The "thief whoever that stupid thief" looks like a professional thief.

Here's the good news from all the sad, miserable, cruel nasty bad and stupid thief or thieves don't know how many they are had return the stolen document from my attache case. How that happened? When we moved here at Vernon house suddenly the document was there in the attache case. Yeah, after how many realtors and their clients came back and forth in our house that we are renting.  Uhm, fishy? How many houses that we moved in and those houses were OPEN for the owner's intriguing business because the owner had the houses for sale? Four houses within a span of more than 4 years.

 The THIEF is following us.

Do I have to be scared? Be afraid and hide because don't know when this thief or thieves are coming back?

Sometimes You Lose. Sometimes You Gain.

 It's that time of the year when I have to trim the Japanese lucky bamboo. I trimmed it last year and the young shoots were then placed in another small vase.


I can't find the crystal lead vase that my Mom-in-law gifted us. I looked and checked all the cabinets and cupboards, no, can't find it. The crystal vase that was missing is "tangible" not just a picture or photograph. Don't tell me it was stolen. I have to use the glass pitcher again. It's a pitcher not a vase. The thief whoever that thief should have stolen the pitcher instead of the 100% lead crystal vase.

It seems that every year,  one or two crystal wares are missing or being stolen in our home.

Futuristic or A Thing Of The Past?

I told you time and time again that the FUTURE is the PAST and the PRESENT is just GIFTS or remnants of what is currently at your own site.

It is what it is and what you can SEE.

Two days had passed and we are entertained by the apes in THE PLANET OF THE APES plus the continuation or sequel which is BENEATH the Planet of the Apes. Include the movies of Mila Jovovich and presto what else is new? NOTHING!

As it is in the beginning is the end.

Think that you are sharing the land with other survivors of planet earth. Think of them as your sisters and brothers even if you are unlike them. Definitely, we are only the same or alike inside.

FEAR

As early as 8 AM no TWD on AMC Channel, instead the rerun of FEAR the Walking Dead is in. If you are familiar with the television series FEAR TWD story which featured a dysfunctional family where a single mom Madison has to care and support two kids in High School. The mother works at the High School department and have to deal with students with disabilities and other problems concerning theft. Theft: Non-perishable food in the form of canned goods, medicines, etc are being stolen. The problems are greater as the story went further to the event of the onset of the apocalyptic war where soldiers have to do the inevitable quarantine of the affected population. As you have probably known that pile of zombie bodies were then annihilated burnt to ashes as a matter of ethnic cleansing sort of (Happened during the Holocaust of preventing infection to the rest of the population, Hitler style). In this story, it's hard to determine whether Nick was a victim of overdose of methadone or "meth." or other illegal drugs sold by Nick's friend. It turned out that methadone is a prescription drug for pain and proven as powerful pain reliever but so many side effects and should not be taken anyway. At first you would probably blame that it could be Nick's blurry vision or the adverse reaction of the drug that made Nick seeing disgusting face of zombies but later on almost everyone can see the shocking zombies are not just product of the side effects of drugs consumed by patients. To think that Nick was a spoiled rotten brat who can get what he wants including illicit  drugs and his mom Madison had to kill for him just to keep him alive. But Nick needs more than pain killer after he had an accident when he was run over (struck) by a speeding vehicle when he was running away from zombies at the church. Then the rest of the story is the day to day survival of being away from zombies as Nick decided to walk on the long road to Tijuana.

What could be? Having anxiety? Don't be so angst about this story. It's just a TV Series. It's a myth. Zombies could be a product of an epidemic gone wild during the bubonic plague medieval era. A time when nobody knows the cure for simple flu or influenza. Nobody knows the cure for TB or cholera because ANTIBIOTIC was discovered only after World War II. Polio vaccines and Flu, diptheria vaccines were only discovered after World War II. With all the plagues since the beginning of time, how could it be possible that the population of the Earth has reached BILLIONS of people in the year 2000? Hard to believe right?

8 20 2016

Time is too slow or time is just too fast? It's already the 20th of August in the East. Good for them. Thanks to my son Cade for setting up my new wristwatch. Now I know why you received a scholarship grant after High School to enter college.

I received 3 messages about PC problems with my computer notebook as usual spywares the problem and some stupid hackers trying to steal info. Nothing to steal here. Do they steal photographs? Do they steal words and blog post to make it look like they are the ones who wrote the "composition" here? That's absurd right? I hope they have something better to do like continuing education in college. It's better to have university degree rather than standby at home pestering others and being disrespectful of elders. Young people should start being independent, allow themselves to experience with outside world and work on their own without help from parents especially if that person think that he knows everything. That he is smarter than his own parents. That he think he is of higher mental capacity to think. But you know western families would rather have their kids at home. It's a different world now. In the Philippines, where the elders tried to keep pushing their kids to study well, finish college and be on their own, be matured enough to be on their own because they are on  the right age to be independent. That's what I learned from my parents. Parents are the elders and the ones who should be in command at home not the child or spoiled child. The father didn't marry the child so that they can be together and kick the mother out of the house because the mother is too fat. The children should not abuse or treat their parents as slaves. I don't know about your kids. Are your kids too much to bear and disrespectful of you? Are they abusive and lack self-control? Do they bully  and yell at you? Is the spoiled child the one who controls everything inside the house and you are being mistreated all the time? BULLYING IS A CRIME and bullies should be punished for their crime.

If you read the Holy Bible, if you are a Christian or Catholic whatever is your religion do I really need to be a preacher to tell you what's in the Bible about the role of parents? What about the role of sons and daughters at home? I don't have to preach what I learned. I don't need to. I don't like being bullied or abused by abusive people. That's all.

Note: Written last night.

Ginger & Crabs

The problem with N VY is there are so many envious people in this world and they thrive. They have no remorse whatsoever!

Would you like to watch Johnny Test instead and find out what Mary and Susan are cooking for today?

I have my own plan. Just as I took a photo of this special ginger suddenly the movie CASINO had that rerun on our television channel. Wow! What a coincidence?

Ginger!!!! OMG! Ginger, what are you doing there? LOL. Please don't be too ambitious like "Ginger in the movie "CASINO." Beware!

If you want an honest to goodness role model for your ambitious socialite life be honest with yourself and the people around you. Look for a role model that best describe who you are. Wag kang pasosyal kung panay ang kain mo ng bagoong.

What to do with ginger? I don't like using that remarkable ginger shape like an animal but I'm craving for something delicious. How about ginger with crabs and coconut milk?
Don't worry there are other movies worth watching. There are millions of new movies to watch.

Conscious, Unconscious!

I love my bedroom in proper order, organized and no clutter whatsoever and to make more appealing for my own vision I usually buy the "bed in a bag ensemble set" complete with the comforter, shams, beddings of bed sheets and fitted sheet. The linen must always have that comfortable feeling of smooth 100% percale. I used to order from Sears Catalogue before. They have good quality percale beddings and ensemble to match everyone's peculiar taste.

The above photo image tells you of my taste for my bed.

Sky blue is one of my favorite color and I wish that my bedroom has that sky blue paint color of the wall also. Seems heavenly right?

Currently,  my bedroom has that cream color paint of the wall which is boring and my bed cover has that sky blue crochet with embossed blue flowers. One day I will have that complete percale ensemble for my beddings, promise!

Feeling like "Sleeping Beauty?"

I WISH... but

I got other important things to do such as COOKING.

Do I Have To Work Today?

Hey, it's Monday! I have to work on my own pace after all it's my blog. The good thing about owning a blog is there's really no pressure to whatever we can blog because you just like me is a freelancer blogger.

Life goes on on this part of the world. It's HOT! Why it's hot? August 15, 2016 the temperature outside should go down below 20 degrees celsius.

Why? Because I don't like using the aircon. Turning on the aircon caused so much money. It's a financial burden. You know I am more than thrifty compared with my husband. But really when the heat get so bad, worse like as if Mount Vesuvius is just nearby really have to use the aircon. Whoah! Not a good thing to compare such kind of heat but where are we anyway? The island is like a moving piece of giant carrier.

Ha ha! Would you believe that? I think I am just imagining things just like Einstein or I watched too much POMPEII, Pompeii Apocalypse and Lava Storm.

Because my computer shut down yesterday (it happened when it gets overheated) which is Monday have to continue my blog today which is Tuesday. I'm done with my general laundry yesterday (4 loads of bed sheets, linens, towels, clothes. Have to separate darker color clothes from whites and after laundry sorted them out one by one fold them and place them in proper order in the closet. Ironed clothes and linens. Hectic schedule Monday and Tuesday is a more relaxing day for me.

Husband's back to work, cutting grass and other yard work. Everything's okay. Next is to plan meals for the family. I already something planned then only to be replaced by some people here at home who aren't happy on what's being cooked on the stove. I can't roast meat (chicken, beef, pork loins)everyday.

Time Is Too Slow For Those Who Wait

Because my computer's function is getting plugged by stupid hackers then my work is so slow. I will slow down their process of acquiring knowledge so it's balance.

Time to read again?

READ if you want to read and comprehend.


NOW, is the TENth

10th DAY of August 2016.

is it the ALPHA OMEGA? The beginning and the end. Of course not. However, GOD is known as the ALPHA & OMEGA.

Heard of anyone who scored 10? Is there anybody who is another Nadia Comanecci? I was in High School when Nadia Comanecci scored PERFECT 10 in Gymnastics. I was amazed. More than hundred millions of people around the world were fascinated, delighted and excited about the very first perfect score in the Olympic Games. Nadia was Romanian Olympic athlete and the very best of the Olympians. Many children were then raised to be the next Nadia. Instantly they were fanatic and I was also a fan, actually I am one of her fans including my friends and classmates in school. Some of my notebooks are covered with her pictures. I have poster of her image in my room.
I think there's nobody like Nadia Comanecci she is  one of a kind.

Of course she is perfect in Gymnastics but she is not perfect like God. When we try to resolve about who's perfect and perfection we always assumed that nobody's perfect and GOD is the ONE & ONLY PERFECT HIGHER BEING and we can't contest that belief and faith in choosing our own PERFECT IMAGE of what a DIVINE SUPERIOR BEING that we cannot see.

Even Moses is not perfect who came down the mountain of Sinai with two slabs of stones encrypted the 10 Commandments wherein he was the one who first insulted it because he killed an Egyptian ( self-defense) and fled Egypt together with the thousands of Jews and spent 40 days in the wilderness of the hot as hell desert only to eat manna which the next day if not consumed becomes gut-wrenching worms called maggots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yuck!

To expect perfection? You'll be bound to be disappointed. But who knows GOD's plan that maybe He'll send several perfect beings on planet Earth, maybe centuries away from now?

10 to 11 to 12 and what is the time now? EINSTEIN used to ask the time because you know  busy people tend to forget time is passing by us so fast and so quick and day and night was the only time they know in the past.

Day and night, night and day...


Note: Figure it out that the 10 Aug 2016 Blogpost is a "draft."
My computer is having malfunction due to the debugger's message.

The Olympic Games

The 5th day of the RIO Olympic Summer Games, still going strong; started last Friday August 5, 2016 and up to the last day of August 21, 2016.

5 to 21  E.B.A.

Are you EBA? Are you EVE?  The O is an Eye.

The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games is about the land before time. It is the beginning of time and the flames that were lit up that period of time symbolized iceberg where Superman lives, it was a legendary myth signifying the evolution of time and civilization and the celebration of life up to the time of what the new generation could see.

Olympic games ceremony always begin with "the land before time" featuring the history of the host country. The host country presents the country's heritage, culture, tradition, arts and entertainment spectacle and ends it with spectacular fireworks, but it doesn't really ends there, actually the beginning of the GAMES. After the games were then finished, awards given, partying over then the Closing Ceremony begins again and ends with another spectacular fireworks and partying again as if non-stop celebration congratulating each and every participants of this centuries old games that happened every 4 years. The Greeks gods and goddesses had started it for them to play with mortals. They disguised themselves and compete in different kind of sports or games they excelled.

How could that happened? Maybe it happened long time ago, ancient years ago. You think those Greek gods and goddesses will do such impersonations in our time?

RIO de Janeiro is the location of the Christ Redeemer statue signifying the millions of Catholic Christians who are inhabitants of Brazil. RIO de Janeiro is the event venue of the 2016 Olympic Summer Games. Brazilians,  they are religious just like most of the South Americans and Filipinos from the Philippines. You wont believe that Quezon province in Philippines also has the huge statue of Jesus Christ where millions of Catholic devotees pay patronage to visit the religious relic, pray, offer flowers and light candles and do their ceremonial passion of Christ during Holy Week.

Seriously, for the Olympic athletes their participation is more than religious. I think it's more of a calling of  family's legacy. Great pride for the family, who one point in time when their elders were Olympic athletes and they are just passing the torch to their next of kin.

It's the ring of fire relay where people who are inhabitants of the "ring of fire" have to do their honorary and respectful way of sending messages in a very special grandiose way.


All along the Olympic Games signify a deeper root cause and higher meaning to inspire young people to engage in the sports worthy of a cause. There's nothing like this prestigious games of greater skills where heart and mind must unite to be stronger, higher, faster.  No matter what those critic said about all the negativity of the other athletes who were engaged in cheating it is for their own conscience to know the truth and discern what is false. One rotten bad apple wont harm the rest of the apple tree.

It's year 2016 when APPLE is already a computer and electronic gadgets.

Anything Of An Excess Is A Waste

It's another maNIC Monday ))) Wish it was Sunday )))

Oh My God! Trulala I am alive to blog one more time with joy in my heart. Blogging is my work without pay. In other countries, bloggers are paid for their work of blogging. How could that be?

I work on regular basis and even on Saturdays and Sundays plus holidays.

There's that old saying that, " if you are a writer you are always a writer and you wont have no bounds, no time no walls, no ceilings no floors, just the medium and form of writing." Darn! that's a song not a saying. Who cares? You wont know the difference if you are a jazz singer or rocker.

Thank God I don't drive because I already have a hard drive. Besides, my husband would probably panic whenever I drive around town  and go shopping. I think it's my husband who loves to shop. He shops everyday. He would rather shop for groceries everyday and happy without me by his side. I tried to drive long time ago but I was not that persistent about it because driving is not a huge thing for me. I can live without driving. I am not so gaga over beautiful cars and fancy cars no matter how expensive they are.

In the Philippines you can go to College and University by using low class transportations such as tricycles, jeepneys, and bus. You can travel to places of work using the same transportation (include the LRT)  it doesn't matter because whether you travel by luxurious vehicles when there is traffic jam on the highways you'll be walking on your barefoot to get where you want to go. Just thank the Lord that you have healthy legs to walk, run and jog. Simple things in life make it worthy to live and survive.

Forget about luxury and luxurious things because all those things have an equal and opposite reaction. Forget about beautiful, expensive houses because if they are sort of a maze (always been a MAZE ) again then you are becoming a guinea pig for their experiment. Celebrities do not live on expensive houses they were just there for a show.

MAZE they cannot solve and they want somebody else to solve it for them.

Life is not meant to be an open show. Anything that is too much is bad and what is too much for you?
Excessive gambling is too much. Excessive smoking is bad because it's chronic and bad for your health. Excessive alcohol drinking is bad and it's really, really bad for your health.

People are rich because they have healthy lives. It's better to be healthy and wise. HEALTH IS WEALTH.

Weird Saturday

I was cleaning the living room and noticed that the side table is covered with something of a messy discoloration and it turned out the spores from the ferns had fallen on the table. The bouquet of flowers given by my sister is starting to wither despite of the water in the pitcher to sustain its life. Bouquet of beautiful flowers: tiger lily roses, gladiolas, oriental lilies, dahlias, mini-hydrangeas, and ferns to adorn the flowers. I took it out at the backyard and placed it in another container with water.

 
 
Bouquet of flowers
 
Looks like it helped with the weather.
Yey! The hot weather cools down a bit.
 
Then my daughter and I watched the movie:
BATMAN  V  SUPERMAN
Dawn of Justice
 
 
 

OMG! I was surprised of this movie. It's weird! The movie opens up with the funeral intended for Bruce Wayne's parents who were murdered when he was very young. This movie is complicated than other movies made for Batman and Superman because people whom you think were dead many years ago turned out to be alive. Think of flashback but it's a question of  whether they are clones or just that humans are being reborn because they are superheroes or because they are of great benefit for mankind.

Superman's outfit is surely different from previous outfit worn by other Superman actors.
 
Who is a better actor?
I think Superman has the edge.
Seriously, this man is so serious with his acting.
 
How about Luthor?
The man who played Luthor is always nominated for best actor and had won so many awards already but his role as a villain is not convincing because you know being the actor who played the zombie killer and the man who played the role of "Mark Zuckerberg" in "social network"
is not really convincing as the wicked Luthor.
Jesse Eisenberg should not play villain no more.
 
Mysteries and secrets? This movie is full of them.

Pitch Your Tree

((( TREES of green, red roses too, they all bloom for me and you... and I said to myself what a wonderful world )))

What trees you have at your yard?

In our front yard, we only have the Sugar Maple tree which is of course a Canadian tree and every yard in this part of the city have maple trees provided by the City Municipal or by the Good Government. Then we also have the Japanese maple tree, still very young that's why it is planted on a big pot at the backyard which we bought from Costco. The Japanese maple tree almost died due to heat. It was so hot here at my place that some leaves of the trees were already red. It's the month of  August so Autumn will be that quick and fast. I love the fall weather. I love cool weather temperature and probably all computers will benefit from cold weather. No more toasted computer hard drives. No more over heated software and electronic gadgets. No  more wildfires and no more heat waves. Canada suffered so much of the unruly wildfire brought on by hot weather climate. Countries in Europe, to the North benefit the cold climate. Asian countries benefit from the cool air coming from the Northern region of the world. If both poles the North and South poles are hot no living things will ever live on planet earth.

So many choice of trees I would like to plant in our yard,  but because we are only tenants to this house I wont bother. We left the two huge Sakura Cherry Blossoms trees at Graystone where my Parents-in-Law planted when they moved in there from Oyster River and that was so many years ago.

The world is my oyster. Is it yuck? Not when the Mother of Pearl oysters created millions of radiant pearls.

Anyway, whatever and wherever and what kind of tree you came from,  think of your family as your tree of life.

What's the secret at RIO? Do you have a secret? Secrecy is not what my aim in life because I am always for the truth. I hate dishonesty and I hate liars. Honesty is always the best policy no matter what.

To Try Different Flavour Of Food

Certainly no rotten potatoes here at my place. My husband buys the best crop, the freshest of the fresh of young potatoes for our meals. Sometimes, I make a potato salad with boiled cubed eggs at summer time. Or have those potatoes covered with hot gravy.

What could I cook this time of the day? Always having problem of what to cook. The usual problem of repetition of the same recipe, same menu simply because it's what my family wants. I wish they also try Asian gourmet food or try the exotic taste and flavour of  such food like alamang, daing, tuyo, laing, pinangat, pinais, escabeche, fish soup, tamales, pinakbet and other kind of viands I used to have for meals in the Philippines. They appreciate viands such as: sinigang, adobo, curry, munggo, embutido, and camaron rebosado. They eat fish such as salmon and trout only. I like all kinds of fish: salmon, trout, rock cod, snapper, tilapia, galunggong, dilis or anchovies, biya, herring, mackerel and several shellfish.

Try different flavour of food you must be a cook first to appreciate the effort made by a cook in the preparation of delicious food. Effort is a good thing.

Wishing we could just dine in at restaurants but who knows what tomorrow brings.

How Are You Going to Label Yourself?

Knowledge is power but no one wants to know everything. People may judge somebody else's as bragging or braggart.

Make yourself or create yourself that feeling of  KNOW-NOTHING as if you are an idiot. An image that you will create just to feel humble. Humility is such a good humble word just to be contend with the rest of the world.

Is that good?

Nobody likes to be an idiot, dumb or imbecile.

Even a child who is diagnosed as down syndrome will oppose to such label.

Label  one's individual state of mind is wrong. Nobody knows how and what a mind is capable of thinking and doing. However to label a child or adult of their mental capacity is through the jurisdiction of the school or university to place these students in the institutions where they can adapt to the curricula. You can read the whole Psychology book and practice the many theories and have the first-hand knowledge of what those geniuses have written in the past but certainly no one is perfect. Imperfections could be one of the denominators that make us humans. How to pass these imperfect humans depend on what is their mental capacity. They can pass schools and universities but are they allowed to work?

When the highly-educated people wont tend the jobs allowed for their great skills and qualifications because of low paying wages,  so abysmal that they would rather sit down at home and do nothing. Then the only solution is to train the would- be workers to the work that they had taken for granted. A country with only few workers willing to work will have to accept workers from other countries and or accept less experienced workers to be trained but not necessarily be paid higher than highly skilled workers.

There's nothing wrong with TRAINING the people who are willing to do the work. Otherwise, you wont have workers at all. I don't know why too many lazy people nowadays. Could be that some people would rather be called idiots so that they wont work or afraid of work? Then the problem is actually low self-esteem.

Being afraid of work is one thing and simply we can't force others to work because these people are not robots. In times of WAR the situation would probably be different. However you have seen movies wherein so many of these "people of war" just stand by waiting for the ration of food or ration of rotten potatoes to get by.


Methodist Has The Right Of Way?

OMG! What should I say or rather what could I contribute to my blogs? Coincidence or what? I don't have ESP. I am amazed as you are when it comes to what will happen in the future and what will happen in your favorite television shows and series.

Anyway, shocking as it may seems that the season finale for the PREACHER was absolutely shocking? Or the shock-value of TWD has extended to the many AMC SERIES?

Whatever! I am not the scriptwriter or novelist nor the writer to their series. So please stop snooping around in my house to find out whatever next episodes they have to show.

Season finale of the PREACHER, an AMC TV SERIES about a mysterious preacher (priest) named Jesse that set foot on an old church somewhere in a remote community of few believers. So many incredible miracle had happened since the time the new preacher had occupy the old church in need of renovation but due to poor economic system in an arid, dry humid community of helpless, hopeless humans. Then the many strangers from nowhere land or outer space that came to disturb privacy and the people's way of life that is already been questioned so many times. A community where the fews were born handicapped and abnormal. It's more like a freak show but it's the freakest of the freak whose faith is stronger than most of the normal characters in this unbelievable science-fiction series. The question whether the preacher is really of God or sentforth by the devil to deceive them of their faith through the healing miraculous power of "you must believe" because you can see the effect of his words everyone can follow because of its power to manipulate and believe that there's nothing wrong with what he is doing as in he is just helping and let conscience do the depth and substance that leads to humanity. So far, the preacher is becoming a hero for the young people and be their role model. Really?

I have my doubts. To watch PREACHER again? Wait for year 2017 for new episodes.

Methodist has the right of way when it comes to air and environment but then you must  have extra sense of perception and common sense.


LOVE YOUR ENVIRONMENT because you are part of a great environment. It is your home and the source of your livelihood. Be reminded that "no man is an island."
