Happy Easter!

Happy Egg Hunting!
 
 
 
For The Devoted Catholic & Christians
 
 
 
Why it's best to celebrate Easter today earlier than anticipated? Be smart, think in advance!  Know that most religious people follow the calendar. East Easter should be on Sunday. However, when Easter Sunday falls on the date that is not in conformity with the rule then you must think right and appropriately.

HAPPY EASTER to all who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and had everlasting love for mankind and the world. Through Him and His greatest love for us we are SAVED.

Thank you Jesus! Thank you dear GOD!

What If Second Opinion Is Worse Than First Opinion?

Dr. Glassman was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer and Dr. Murphy was devastated and can't concentrate at the operating room. Dr. Murphy tried so hard to help by doing a thorough research using medical textbooks, board works (defining moment in finding solution using mathematical equation, calculus, physics, chemistry, etc), using all his knowledge and understanding to find out how  he can do the operation to save Dr. Glassman's life. In all these mind boggling finding he was also busy looking for his scalpel, the toy scalpel given to him by his brother. Later on he asked for Dr. Glassman to have a second opinion which turned out the worst thing that ever happened.

THE GOOD DOCTORs

 Instead of two years of life span, it turned out that the cancer stricken doctor had only few months (3 months) to live not years. Looking at Dr. Murphy's facial reaction which is somewhat "blank face" seemed not worried about what he heard on second opinion. I think he is more worried about the missing scalpel. I was worried too because you know who wont be? (True to life case: There are non-autistic medical practitioners who accidentally left medical instruments in patient's abdomen due to negligence or confusion). He was not in a panic mode but he was able to keep to himself about that scalpel which later in the end was found to be in his bag all along. What a reliever! He can do the surgery for Dr. Glassman and he discovered something profound that ends the season finale.

Now, can we all sleep now that an autistic person like Dr. Murphy has other better things to do.

Infinity and Beyond

Strong people accept trials and tribulations as if they are nothing but friends. I know that it may sound very strange about the true meaning of such trials but these problems made them stronger than ever. Challenges are part of our life and how you can have a self-realization of the facts of life is going through those storms and survive.

There are certain people who succeed better when there is hardship, when there are conflict. These individuals have power over specific problems that dealt with mind boggling solution as if their minds have that instant heuristic images. The larger the brains, the larger tank of memories? Perhaps there is that definite truth in it.


Infinity.

I wished. I wish to have infinite space for my blogging habit. Wishing I'm paid for my work of blogging. lol.

Creepy

Be careful during the Holy Week because it's the week of trials and tribulations. There are group of weirdos out there looking for "their own kind of Jesus that they can nail to the cross."

I know that's hard to believe but I found that so creepy. They never stop at nothing just to have a "replay of the past, the fasting and the creepy cult illuminating the life and death of somebody they worshipped."

So many creepy, weird humans out there and you should be careful and must take care of yourself.

FOOD Always & Forever

 I`m only human born to cook this way ))) I know what else could  a loyal wife do and a loving mother who stays at home most of the time but cook and do all the household chores.

It would be different if I`m single and working outside and be a part of the workforce in the concrete, conglomerate  jungle. Would I be climbing up the social ladders and fight my way up to be at the highest executive office.

Would I be one of the suckers who lead up to their reputation to malign others so that I can get the prize and recognition I so deserve or do you think I will just sit in one corner and cry and quit. Forget about the ignorance and racism. Forget about all the bullying and the lying and cheating. I am at home where I am right now with my family.

LIFE IS GOOD. Life is good to be worried about all the nonsense and non-essentials out there. The most important in living is YOU who knows yourself.

It`s about you and yourself plus your conscience.

 It`s good to eat and drink. Whatever that makes you happy the rest of the world got nothing to do with your life and happiness.

Be good to yourself. God knows what`s inside of us and what lies ahead. Be happy with who you are at least you have your family who believes in you.

Thank God for the blessings of good food and good family who are also rejoicing the wealth of having a great family.

THINK RIGHT! HAVE GOOD FOOD FOR THE CONSCIENCE.
Use your hands and palms the right way. HAPPY PALM SUNDAY everybody.

Who Loves You Baby

Are you in- psynched with what`s happening today as if everyone`s going gaga over 50 million Facebook users were targeted for political reasons and nobody knows it until one whistleblower set the record straight. Wow! Is that another social network sequel or what. If I`m missing the proverbial question mark it`s because the mark turned into this É.

Mystery loves misery.

Nobody`s losing their heads nor losing their sleep on whether personal information are lost or compromised only when everyone starts going to the bank and their bank accounts were stolen and they went bankrupt instantly or arrested mistakenly because identity was stolen by somebody else. It would be an individual`s problem to correct. One by one.

However there is that karma effect and the culprit to this never-ending saga of targeting, carding of human beings without their consent will be punished to a certain degree.

How would you like to present yourself in public as anonymous without a name or using pseudonym that`s for author of books and novelists to choose. For movie stars and celebrities that too wont be a problem because actually they have a representation, they can hide in their screen names. For ordinary people what we have to lose. Ordinary people didn`t lose their honor and they didn`t lose their conscience for being honest. If they lose their wealth will the government help themÉ

50 MILLION USERS. 50 MILLION PEOPLE. That could be an entire population of one`s country. How can Facebook manages such a humongous population and how can 50 million users of Facebook able to cope up with this system. And you asked yourself how a president or prime minister of one`s country able to govern such a huge population. Truth is it`s a huge problem to tackle with and it will be difficult for MZ to govern a large population of 50 million Facebook users. Each person has its own mind and these mind bogglers are not babies, millions of these people are real people with brains, they are professionals from all walks of life. If they all are babies then if the leader is missing from their sight they wont worry and as if they don`t really exist. However, Facebook users are mostly those who can  use computers and tech gadgets therefore you don`t know what each one is thinking.

I hope you are not into the dark when the lights are off you are into something creating chaos. The lights went off, blackout and in just few hours a panic mode happened. Looting, abduction and thinking like rhinos abruptly set in. Bizarre! Be like a baby whose concept about object permanence lead not into panic mode. Unlike those mature individuals who had panic attack and killed the elephants in the room.

Water Filter

 I know when it`s time to change and replace the Brita water filter when it`s get so heavy (probably about 6 months). According to the direction the replacement for new filter should be every 2 months and then disregard the old filter. Okay that`s a good idea.

The Brita filter has activated carbon and ion exchange resin that work together to filter your tap water making your water fresh and safe to drink.

Just as I replaced the old filter to new one and poured water tap I noticed the water on the pitcher is darker than usual. How come that happened. It should be clear and clean. So I took the filter out from the pitcher and discovered the new filter has that tiny indention shown on the photograph above. I looked at the old pitcher filter and there`s no indention in it.  Anyway, I throw the dark water out on the sink and once again used the new filter once again to filter the water in the pitcher. Throw the water again and on the third time the water clears up. There`s no more black or dark colors on the water as if there`s a charcoal that been washed away. I was thinking to disregard the new filter and throw it away. Good I didn`t.

Maybe it takes that kind of process to see how filter works. We are using Brita filter and Brita pitcher for the past 25 years so this kind of unusual situation happened as a surprise.

Where Is Jesus?

Three new episodes for "The Walking Dead" that we had watched already yet Jesus is missing in all those episodes. What happened to Jesus? They let Siddiq in to the cast and Carl Grimes Chandler Riggs) end up dead and Jesus (Tom Payne) missing from all the new episodes. Who is Siddiq? Do you think Siddiq is a good replacement for Carl? Siddiq is not a good replacement for Carl and Jesus. I don't know where the story is going.  Is The Walking Dead becoming like Big Brother Canada? What's really the theme of TWD now? All original cast is being outcasted in favor of new actors? I know some of the avid fans of TWD are mad and furious.

The last time we had seen Jesus or Tom Payne was at the time when Maggie Greene gone cuckoo and shot, killed one of the Saviours (prisoner at Hilltop Mansion). Maggie is becoming ruthless and not thinking properly or because she still had that shock and trauma from the death of her husband Glenn beaten in the head by evil Negan. Jesus lost his leadership over Maggie's reign over Hilltop Mansion. Then the people at Ezequiel's compound moved at Hilltop Mansion, including the people from Alexandria when it was burned down to ashes. At least the sturdy fort surrounding the Hilltop Mansion will protect them from zombies but it will protect them from Negan's wrath? I don't know until Negan was ambushed and confronted by Rick Grimes. Rick got hold of Negan's bloody lucille bat to scare Negan. The lucille bat was lit like a torch of fire. Nice job Rick Grimes. Then they fought real hard until one by one zombies came to join them. What's wrong with Negan? He never dies. Negan could be a robot or an alien? He could be Lucifer! Yeah he is a look-alike of Lucifer in another channel. LOL. Anyway, Rick Grimes got away from zombies in that dark corner of the old rotten building and Negan was left behind with all the zombies in that building only to be abducted by Jadis. Wow! What's the move here? Think of a game of chess and all the pieces are there to be moved from one square to another. Do you like squares?

Simon the terror and with Dwight's unpredictability who do you think will rule Negan's headquarter? Whatever! Another cast of 3 new actors added. An older mysterious woman ( with twins) asked a trade of old records from Maggie and company in exchange of fresh produce. Weird casting. In this zombie series? You think TIMELESS passed by their territory to add humor on their dramatic series. Well, I hope the mysterious woman is a good one, unlike the woman in Terminus. Actually, she is a look alike of that woman in Terminus. Well, I hope not. Too much mystery in The Walking Dead already and it seems it keeps adding up with no cure yet for the outbreak.

Being Happy On The Cheapest Form Of Entertainment

I'm happy with the cheapest form of entertainment. Watching TV for news, movies, shows and series. Recently I rented the latest movie of  Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman) Ben Affleck (Batman), Superman (Henry Cavill), Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa) in JUSTICE LEAGUE.

In Superman the movie, the superhero died. How Superman was back from the grave you have to watch it for yourself in JUSTICE LEAGUE the movie. It was a two hour film that there are a lot of actions here and plenty of visual effects. At the end of the movie, decided to watch also the acknowledgment where the visual effects workers exceeded the number of cast and characters in the whole movie story. What and why many visual effects artists in this movie?

A movie with all the aspects of modern technology, high-powered, super power flash actions and reactions, superheroes who can fly and do the stunts of extra-ordinary human beings when you know that there are no superhumans in our world and in our time. There are humans whose got extraordinary sense and extraordinary paranormal superhuman brains but we can't see any human who can fly like Superman. We are aware of such ability. We have humans who are highly skilled in 3D animation, they are skilled in computer graphic and programming. It's all manipulation using techno software. High-tech technocrats, graphic artists, innovators provide all the materials needed to make the production of this movie and other movies where real humans have to fly, run as fast as lightning, humans who can swim like a fish and so on and so forth. Who knows maybe they have real super powers and the visual effects done by hundred visual effects artists are just using FX illusions and magic is part of the modern warfare.

So okay the movie is about group of superheroes who helped one another save the world from a villain from outer space who want to have all the "boxes" in his possessions. They joined forces to have control and annihilate the villain. Lastly, to save Superman's ancestral house from the foreclosure by the bank. Imagine, Superman as a superhuman being who has no power to save his adoptive mother from poverty and yet trying to save the world, hard to believe that eh? What kind of bank is that and what kind of evilwicked and greedy banker they had? Batman who is the richest among the group of superheroes bought the bank and the old ancestral house was restored and had been returned to the rightful owner.
Justified? The movie didn't end the way it should be... You must watch the very end.

Now what? Would you like the most costly expensive form of entertainment by joining Amazing Race and jump from the tallest bridge, scuba dive at the deepest Mariana's Trench and swim with hungry sharks and or climb the highest mountain and suffered frostbites?

Enough Drama. It's More Fun To Shoot Pictures

I don't know about you but I'm always in need of memory cards. One memory card is not enough for me. Why? because I love photography and there is always a place, event and special human beings I would like to shoot. Hey, for photography only!

So far, these are my collection of photographs sealed already in those memory cards and I will use them in the future.

I'm thankful that the new technology lead us to see the photographs right before our eyes, instantly as soon as we inserted the memory card inside the computer slot or inside the digital camera. We don't need to have a darkroom and dip the negatives on the square container of water. Is it deception or magic that instantly photos are then processed as  fast as light.

Photo means light and magic is the speed of how you can manipulate somebody's vision through the skills of magician's hands.

Whatever! I need more memory cards for photography.

Let It Go

Google Images
We've been watching the marathon of the old pirate movies of  Johnny Depp (Capt. Jack Sparrow), Kiera Knightly and Will Turner (forgot his real name, lol). The Pirates of the Caribbean from its very first sequel up to the last sequels were indeed interesting, adventurous and star-studded despite all the mess, grimes, dirt and disorganized  infested dark ages scenery still the stories of this grand incredible movies are worthy of seeing or watching especially when they reached the white sandy beach and pristine waters of the tropical island.

The pirate movies are complicated ones and Capt. Jack Sparrow always get into trouble. I's a matter of luck that he got away with all those locks and knots including all the nuts in all the movies where he played as a pirate with sense of humor and a pirate with a heart. He is not playing a monster, evil and wicked pirate but a pirate only in search of the unknown and if the unknowns are unlocked and revealed then he shared it with whom he wanted to be involved mutually as in alliance of mutual respect and honor.

 One of the incredible scenes was when his group of pirates were trapped inside a huge circular cage made of bones. It was hilariously funny and at the same time frightening if its real not animated or computerized or digitally arranged. If you know what I mean. It's crazy! Who the author of this novel? His imagination was wild and super-adventurous and skillful.

Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow seen here on the photo image captured by the Ilongots or the wild natives. Good that he was able to escape or else he'll become a lechon in no time.

I don't know what else those other  people are playing: Pirates or Bulgarians. I can't play for those people I don't know. I was watching a reality show showing young people wanting to win $100,000 but then the producer brought in villains to the game trying to steal the winning prize away from the would be winner who the group had chosen. How many in the past that there's always a villain or villains who stop at nothing to dismantle a once smooth sailing game to complicate the whole story or games. In games or sports, let me tell you, there's this team that we all know that is about to win. Destiny is about to allow the winning of this "team" then suddenly the stupid get in the table and sold the game.  One of life's stupid, very stupid move because you know cheaters never win. They only win when they do something drastic too stupid to let go. Apology for those blunt words. What the hell, I don't apologize for the stupidity done by other people! Oh well, some people are already at the pit of poverty and what else they have to do but drag others down to their level. It's not what I learned from Character Education.

NOTE: Once in a while a perfect grammar leads to nothing and a grammatical mistake led to links such as "fake news" and controversial issues being watched on TV by humans. Recall on anything about something just to connect. For whatever reason that "goal is planned by others" stolen plan from this blog. I should listen to you D that goals are plan and it should be a secret. However, the thieves will be bothered for the rest of their lives and one day they will suffer for their own wrongdoings. Conscience is always the enemy of the thieves. Too many plans and leche flan is one of them. lol



March 2018

Return to normal time: It's now 9:03 AM, not 8:03 AM. There's a lot of things going on. I think Spring time is really here. It was so sunny for 3 consecutive days. My household chores are waiting to be unleashed.

I have no time to watch TV at daytime. lol Anyway. What really happened to TWD? I was busy doing something at the kitchen when the TWD new Episode  started. I had a glimpse of what was happening but can't understand the dialogue between 2 actors playing the parts of Father Gabriel the priest and the only doctor in that television series. I don't know why Fr. Gabriel is already blind and what happened to him. Then the doctor who is not blind was trapped by a bear trap. The audience of that series thought that all doctors are being killed in TWD. Or be a keen observant that white people are being killed in this series. Anyway, Siddiq has medical knowledge and will able to help the Hilltop people. There's a good looking prisoner in Hilltop trying to make a deal and Maggie's not interested. Looks like Maggie trusted Siddiq than the white guy in this episode. Yeah Maggie , can you see the face of Glenn in that white guy's face? Just asking. Whatever! I think Glenn's been in and out of that series so many times. Then that young boy who is already a killer at very young age? OMG! They should cut the crap out of that boy. The Walking Dead series is restricted to young people because of its violence. To have young boys or young girls taught about killing whether its only unreal or fiction must be stopped. As usual the killing happened at the face of Carol once again. What will happen next? Trailers: Rick Grimes ambushed the bad guys: Simon and Negan's convoy. Do you think Rick will succeed in his raging fire?

American idol started or premiered last Sunday night. Katy Perry is really beautiful. She's cute and easy on the eye. Cute and beautiful! That combination of a beauty similar to Phoebe Gates. Katy Perry is more talented though. No wonder there are more male singers trying to join the popular  singing contest American idol. Isn't that weird that THE VOICE was also at the same time slot? There must be a reason for that. Competition.

Then the Big Brother Canada started at the same time slot? Oh no! Reality TV shows are much in demand nowadays.  So what happened if two of your favorite shows on the same time slot? TRY PICTURE IN PICTURE on your TV. You can watch two TV SHOWS on one screen. Or you can click on that one channel at the time of advertisement and watch the other show. Not satisfied? Watch the show that you most liked and then record the other tv show and watch the recorded show later.

Good that there's no other show/series that competes THE GOOD DOCTOR - the only autistic doctor at work as a resident surgeon. Would you believe that an autistic savant has a place in the workplace. May the force be with you!

Just Watching The Neighbor's Pet

We didn't see Freddie the cat for several days, haven't visit our abode for a week. Then husband told me one day that Freddie was brought to the dentist to have his 3 teeth pulled out. Shots and medication and grooming for Freddie? You wont believe his owner paid $500 to keep her pet in good health.

My husband said that's the reason why he never wants to own a pet, be a cat or dog. $30 cost to trim or hair cut for a pet. Vaccination is also a plus. What else? You have to pay for security deposit for your pet if you are renting a house. Half month's rent to pay for that favorite pet of yours. Imagine?
Include the pet's food.

We're happy to just have those neighbor's pet at our patio and if they want to sit on the chair at the front porch or at the backyard's that's okay, no problem. At summer time he'll be running to catch dragonflies, butterflies and some insects and maybe there will be drones spying the forest again. Same old situation? Maybe, maybe not.

It's good to know that smart Freddie the cat knew the boundary and he's not territorial.

Here we are minutes  before the 2017 SOLAR ECLIPSE...












Me and the cat at the backyard at the time of the Solar Eclipse (2017). Freddie was acting very strange that day. My daughter Tam chuckled as she photographed us in that moment of "stranger things" happened during the eclipse.

NOTE: I should have posted these photos that day but what the hell... suspense and mystery!

Set & Sew

I'm happy my blog is still running normally and regularly as possible. Unhappy for those blogs and other blogwriters that been shut down for no apparent reason.

Problem is I'm running out of story to blog. Really? Me? Running out of story? My memory is more than 1 MILLION TB. lol. Chuckled* in exaggeration. I have a very long memory.

Any suggestion?

Note: How to handle and carry a clutchbag. That doesn't make me a clutch writer.

I'm not a fashionista. I wont be able to compete with so many women younger than I am and richer than I am when it comes to being fashionable.

For one thing, I can only wear something I can afford or something that I designed and sewn and altered with the help of my sewing machine.

Are You Still Using your Imagination?

I stayed at home most of the time. This is where I work everyday. Housebound. I get out only when it's time to go shopping for groceries but looks like my husband love shopping by himself so that's his task most of the time and I am not surprise anymore. He loves shopping alone and every time he bought something that is not on my list. I don't know if that's a tactic of him or he would like being alone. Oh, he likes the "Alone show on TV" so maybe that's what it is. However, he doesn't like cooking so I end up cooking the raw meat and raw vegetables that he bought. Settled for two fillet of salmons (one grilled and one covered with mayo).

We don't talk much at home. We are not deaf mute. I love talking but who would like to talk in a house where people are reluctant to talk?  I'm glad there is a blogger site where people like us have a soapbox. I'm not a motormouth nor do I have a motormouth. We have a TV or television where newscasters talk most of the time or movies to watch to keep us happy. Entertainment is important in this house. Unlike in our family home in Philippines where everyone talk and the house is noisy. My Mother talked about religious doctrines and it's always about God, the wrath and revelations. My Father talked about the past, his tour of duty in his prime time and his younger days about working hard, etc., etc. Then the loud music filled the air with songs of Elvis Presley, Viva Los Lobos, Cha-cha and other Latin songs. Then my Father will dance in his ridiculous dance technique. Our neighbors thought he was just being funny. Don't get me wrong. I love my parents and they are the most kind, respectable, and loving parents. I am truly blessed to have parents just like Nanay and Tatay. Later the air was filled with the noise about politics on our radio. When everything calmed down the TV is turned on and Combat the television series on the screen of our TV and after an hour of Rick Jason and Vic Morrow on their combat gears, another war series on the television screen, the Rat Patrol. Sometimes, I get the chance to switch the channel to Hardy Boys and Nancy drew Mysteries. OMG! We had only one television set that time and there's no remote control. You have to stand by right in front of the TV and use hands to change channels and use buttons from the TV. Get up from your chair lazy bums! When its windy and the antenna on the roof was swayed  by the force of the wind the television screen will have an off signal turns and contrast and brightness of the screen were evident. Anyways, that was in the 70's. There's nothing like that of occurrence in our television connection and there's no need for antenna on the roof because the signal on our TV in our generation is through Optik and satellites above space through the stratosphere. Stratosphere, radio astronomy. In the 70's only few houses and few families had television sets in Philippines.

Modern  technology, high tech gadgets: Flat screen wide TV as wide as 50" to 60" TV is great, computers, laptops, iPads, cellphones, digital cameras and other hi-tech electronics lead us not to talk anymore. Talking is like a curse nowadays and in this generation there are more curious people and autistic people.

People who needs people? Looking forward to the next episode of "The Walking Dead." Hours later, the most awaited TWD had that Jadis and her groupies were disarmed by Simon the terror, leaving only Jadis alive and alone on top of the dump. Rick and Michonne were flabbergasted when so many zombies surrounded them, anyway they had a strategy to escape while Jadis was left behind to do her last one moment of  grounding the zombies. Yuck! Don't worry it's not for sausages. It's FICTION. Nothing is real! On another channel, Gal Gadot, Lupita Nyongo and Jimmy Kimmel ((@ the OSCAR's - Academy Award's Nite) brought movie viewers some snacks whatever those snacks are made of? Others would prefer burger.
