Being Greek or Being Geek?

My breakfast not bagels but guinataang saba (plantain banana), camote (sweet potato) and corn kernels (mais) with coconut milk. Yeah, something different!  And while I was having breakfast, husband and I are watching the documentary report on TV of the fatal death of JFK Jr., his wife and sister-in-law when their plane Piper Saratoga dive down through the sea near Hyannis Port. What a way to start my morning eh? What really happened? Their death is too devastating for their family and for the millions of fans of JFK Jr. around the world.

Well, I had enough watching the Aleppo war story. My ears are already shut-off listening, watching that tragic war for the past 2 years. The war site was used for war movies so many times.

So what really happened to the son of the former John F. Kennedy as if there's that curse that followed their famous family. It was likened to a Greek story or Bible story where the cast and characters were tested by God. It's not that life has no end and its because the Kennedy's are famous, fabulous and influential but their life story is more like "honest" and everyone knows how they live as their lives are more than "open book." Their family is over exposed. The tabloids exploited them like crazy. But because JFK Sr. was once a writer, publicist, editor at his prime age then Mrs. Jackie Kennedy was also a journalist/photographer and their son owned  the magazine GEORGE  so somehow their family life has something to do with NEWS! Are they exploiting themselves? Or somebody else's exploiting themselves? Could it be that it's beneficial for their business at that cost? It's not of benefit to anybody if somebody dies and I don't think it's a curse as what that writer-reported said on TV. Many have doubts. Greek mystery.

Writers would always be writers! Writing is in their blood. Fitzgerald's blood running over their veins? So be it.

I write, do I have to exploit myself? Not really! I think I'm a ghost writer. lol. I wrote something and somebody else's steals my idea and what's left for me eh? Darn those thieves!!!!!

So, according to my son Tyrel...ROGUE ONE is better than THE FORCE AWAKENS. Have you watched it already?

Weather forecast: It will snow tomorrow > Sunday but it will rain on Monday. It's only -12 degrees celsius today.

 From the bedroom's window, outside OMG! Lots of snow. How thick the snow on the roof? I think it's 11-12  inches thick of snow.

Despite of snowy cold environment, there are many chickadees and other small starling birds on the branches of the trees and one lone bird on the fence. Alone Atlas! At one point in time when one grey woodpecker graced the tall spruce tree at the backyard. You wont believe how many thousands of birds at spring and summer time in this area.
