The Motto/Phrase: To SEE Is To BELIEVE

SEEING IS BELIEVING. How redundant are we nowadays that we only believe because we are seeing the subject, object, actual events or we are at the exact place. That we need a proof or evidence all the time.

I have seen and watched horror movies, you know the many suspense thrillers such as: SCREAM and its dozen sequels, HALLOWEEN, FRIDAY THE 13th, RESIDENT EVIL and hundreds more screamers and in these movies authorities or the armed forces, police force do not believe anything that is out from extraordinary , not believing the complaints until they were too late or they are to suffer and be the victims of their own disbelief. Complaints whether they are not important to you (but very important to them)  you should take them as important for the service of safety.

The Apostle Thomas who also didn't believe Jesus that He was resurrected from the dead until Jesus showed the scar on his palms. You are not Thomas. You as a person in Modern Times at the Age of High Technology you know better.

I myself sometimes have problem believing something that I can't see as in have to paraphrase " To see is to believe." However, there is that saying " for the benefit of the doubt." Be cautious.

There are so many people out there who are having problems with trust. I can't believe them either nor do I have to believe right away. There is always that double checking to do but if that person showed so many IDs already and whether if the IDs are expired or not but with the person's name, address and the person's actual physical presence that is not expired who we have to make a fool of especially in the bank when it's the person who is updating the account. It would be a problem for a bank customers if  they don't trust a bank employee.  Remember, the account in the bank is part property of the depositor and employees are just the worker at the bank. There is no bank without people using the bank and no financial service if the bank has no finance capacity. Meaning a Bank is bank. Let say a Blood Bank without blood is not a Blood Bank. A bank without money is not a bank. It's Bankrupt! It has no bank responsibility and no bank service because it cannot be opened for service. A Food bank without food is not a Food Bank, it is just a building or nothing at all. If you are doubtful, my doubts towards you or anybody else  is double sometimes triple.

Are the channels changing? Too many hands? Do not pass the key to anyone whom you don't trust.

Beware! It's Springtime And The Bears Are Coming!

It was past 8 AM yesterday when my son informed me that there was a black bear at the backyard. OMG! I was shocked and surprised why there's a bear in this area. I closed locked all the doors and windows downstairs first and asked where exactly the bear. I went upstairs and from the bedroom window saw the bear at the neighbor's yard, actually over the fence towards the woods. The bear was hidden in the tall bushes. The bear was there for a while and maybe the black bear heard our noise, my daughter and I are laughing and yelling can't believe that there's really a bear that we can see with our own eyes. I took my digital camera from my desk and started shooting. However, snapshots photos of the bear is not enough so I videotaped the black bear's movement.


 OMG! Now we know that you and I are not safe when we trail the forest. Nobody's safe, you can be the black bear's breakfast or lunch maybe dinner. The bear's hibernation is over and its nose is sniffing for the smell of food. I called my husband and he informed the Strata Manager of the Subdivision and hope that he will inform the rest of the neighbors.

Then this morning, when my husband opened the door, he noticed some clutter from garbage bin. The neighbor's garbage bin was left open too and there's clutter on the ground. Freddie the cat was sniffing the ground. Be careful Freddie. Hmm, who else is the suspect?

EYEdentity

I told my husband that there are some people in the internet, on Facebook most especially who also have the same name as mine. My husband can't believe it because he first thought I'm the only one whose name is unique.

Why too many names Verna Turner? It's hard to believe that eh? When I first used Facebook I was the only one with that name. There's no other person whose got the same name. At present time how many of us now? My husband said maybe the other women are trolls. LOL. Maybe.

What TROLLS look like? Ha ha ha!

 I am a FILIPINA  not an African, not Black. So many black women there with the same name as mine who are from the black race. Is the surname Turner from the Black Race? My husband is not Black, he is a White Canadian.  OMG! Whatever! Whoever they are I wonder if their names are really their original, genuine names or just copycats?

My original maiden  name  is still unique and nobody has that kind of name. I AM THE ONLY ONE with that name. I don't need to have tattoo on my body just to prove it.

With all the many unbelievable stories about identity theft we are all paranoid about something and that set us in a pandora's box and whatever maze you are into,  please have a word with yourself because I will be the first one to ask an ID from you and from where you live and all that matters. It should be fair, ask me an ID, ask me personal info and we all should open up personal information from each other. It should be FAIR right? Show me your ID, show me your personal information and I will show you the information you need.

Darn! Do we have to vote for the microchip implants? I don't think so. It's something we don't want being approve in Congress in the next years to come. Those with microchip implants are bleeding already and blind. Sadly, unfortunately some of them are dead.

The Impossible

Why sometimes would like to watch TV Shows and series instead of listening and watching to the non-stop chain of grieving. What the hell is going on with our world? Is this true real news or some form of chain?

What the heck! Is it HEX? It was just a week ago about listening and viewing TV on what happened to the team of Humboldt Broncos who were riding the bus and then suddenly by impact a forceful blast of some kind collide with a speeding truck along the highway. Whose fault was  it? Many news have been broadcasted on many television news network, some few victims were interviewed and their families interviewed, reporters were brought and financial donations in millions of dollars  had reached more than the amount expected. Politicians and showbiz personalities came and donated (?), too many people donated to the cause and investigations are still in progress. I don't know how many were affected, how many passed away from this fatal accident. Don't blame me if I'm into NUMB3RS. If the news out there started using number 13 again it's the Game of AC/DC again. It's the usual game. Nakakainis na. Paulit ulit hanggang manalo at makapangdaya.

Now at present time, another group of  innocent victims died when a rampage happened somewhere in Toronto. The alleged suspect was thought to believed as an average or below average ex-soldier whatever. In another story, the suspect was a smart guy. Weird! What's the true story? What's the story wishbone? I don't know. I was not at the site where it happened. I don't know the suspect. I don't know those victims.You can only be a witness when you have seen the exact situation and you are in the actual event, as in seeing is believing. Yeah, SEEING IS BELIEVING.

 RAMPAGE is finished. How about FAHRENHEIT 451? Or we all should watch INFINITY WAR.

For all those atrocities, non-essential unbelievable, impossible accident, incidents and whatever and whoever the suspects and victims...my heartfelt condolences to those whose families are grieving for the suffering and how lives are tested and how you are affected with sudden death  from shooting.
There's shooting. Did you see the stiff body of the suspect on TV? Parang cardboard. Maybe my vision is blurred. Sorry. I can't be a witness because I'm not at the actual event. Don't blame me with my own assumption because I watched too much QUANTICO & FBI SERIES. You can't fool me.

Crazy! Whatever, is there we have to know and what lies ahead? I don't know what's the on-going operation and what games they are leading? Do you like DECEPTION TV SEries? Eery, creepy, and if you are not into conspiracy you are out of their game. Just because it's a conspiracy better have your own game. It's TV. It's not real life. If you are affected and you are one of the victims will you keep in silence? I hope not because you are not in Japan. Aahahhahaah! AH.

Pulos DEADPOOL.

Gas price is going up, up and away!!!!! The introduction of EV Vehicle is the last hope, well only if you are rich enough to be able to afford to buy a new vehicle that is EV.

It's getting hot and hot not warm. It's only 10 degrees C and the computer is acting up. My computer laptop was having a burnout and have to unplug it twice yesterday and a while ago. I wont be able to afford to purchase another computer. Without income from blogging and all expenditures instead of revenues the result is deficit. Just like the Government eh? D E F I C I T

Trees Of Green



Enough flowers. Let's have trees. The trees above are real not fake. I wonder how the photographs will look like if they have frames on them. The colors of the frame seemed enticing and I know if I enlarge the photos and place these frames on the wall they would be a magnet sort of to your eyes, to your vision.

My Nature

I was busy yesterday with my digital painting of the above image of the Tulip Plantation. I was not impress with the other paintings I created so I keep changing the colors of the tulips. I changed the setting so many times. I replaced the image of the trees and colors. Changed the windmill's color. It must be impressive for my own taste. I am my own critic. I am a perfectionist.

OMG! Why I worked so hard at Blogger, Google and Facebook when I'm not compensated from all the works here. I 'm making these corporations rich and wealthy.



While I was sketching, painting am also watching the movie "The Impossible." I didn't know about this movie until yesterday when it was shown on TV Channel for free viewing. The movie is about the 2004 Tsunami that hit the island where the Bennett (Belon) family was staying for holiday vacation. It was a heart-wrenching drama of families torn apart. It was a true story. The movie stars in this movie were: Ewan McGregor  playing the husband of Maria (Naomi Watts) father of Lucas (Tom Holland), Tom and Ben. The Tsunami in Thailand was real, it was surreal. It was kind of crazy. I think the great tsunami happened to be the worst example of how Mother nature can lead a large population astray in a deluvio kind of unexpected circumstances. A devastation like hell in its massive proportion. I'm glad the ending of the movie is much better to bear with in this movie despite of many obstacles. I hope that's the last of God's wrath. For those who love rats and the rat race F'O! The NAZIs are no longer with us in the year 2018. Return to 1918 is when Europe and many Axis of Evil went bankrupt and Nazism is their last hope. It's the Year 2018 and hopefully the present history is much better from the past.

How The World Will End?

Nobody knows how the world will end. You can read the pages of the book HOLY BIBLE, in the Revelation. Read it for me. I read it long time ago when I was very young and very religious. It was scary of course and I was not able to sleep and had nightmares about it.

The Lord Jesus Christ mentioned in the Book that He saw the devil during His time of trials and tribulations before the Crucifixion. He was not the only one who saw the devil and all the evil in this world. So many of us had seen the devil, the evil and the demons in this world.

Look no further, look not that far because there are too many disguises. The devil doesn't need to be ugly or scary, nor these evils and demonic... you'll find that out when it's your time.

How the world will end is to keep your mind alert and prepared and think stronger and let not the devils win. When the bad guys win,  it's end of the world. What do I mean by this? It depends of what the world means to you.

Sharing Is Important In Blogging

Do you clean your dryer machine for clothes? Shown above are photos of how I clean my dryer machine. Before I load a batch of newly, freshly washed clothes, linens and towels inside the machine, have to clean the inside part with clean towel and then take out the lint tray then get rid of the lint from the tray and throw the wool-like lint to the trash basket. Make sure the top surface, the whole outside surface  of the machine is clean too. Not enough? I washed the tray with running water from the tap on our sink. Brushing the tray with a brush shown on the photograph leads you to make sure that no amount of dirt or lint is left behind. Clean the tray with washing liquid detergent of your choice. Dawn  or Sunlight it's up to you, your choice. Rinse it well. Next, wipe dry the lint tray before putting it in the dryer machine opening slot.  It takes only few minutes to do this ritual of cleaning the tray. Once the dryer machine is clean then you can load the newly fresh washed clothes and for fresher fragrant smell of your clothes, linen and towels add a sheet of fabric softener. BOUNCE fabric softener is the best of all softener for its great quality and fragrance that wont cause any allergy.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to learn this kind of task.

Duck, Cover and Hold

It's cloudy day today and a bit chilly. Overcast it's 7 degrees celsius and in the next few days we'll be experiencing showers hopefully no storm whatsoever.

I'm glad that my husband was able to do his yarwork for the week. When it's sunny better work on the yard right immediately because at the island the weather is changing frequently, so unpredictable. It doesn't rely on meteorologist's weather forecast for it has a mind of its own.

I was able to plant the bulbs/roots of dahlias at the front garden plot, watered them and sprinkled with "Singles fertilizer" just to make sure these variety of dahlias will eventually grow healthy and
give beautiful flowers.

Best plant food MIRACLE GRO


There are few remaining roots to be planted and I'm thinking better to plant them at the backyard instead, not today, maybe the next day. Who knows where my mood will sway to the right or to the left?

For other news out there? Remember to duck, cover and hold.

The Roots Are Waiting

Roots or bulbs whatever you may call them for these dahlia's waiting to be planted. However, I'm still waiting for my husband to buy real soil for the garden plot which is filled with bark mulch.

Don't worry it's only April 14, 2018 and it's the second week of Springtime. Cloudy day today and it's gloomy day. The sun is covered with clouds and it's chilly outside.

While missiles been fired in Syria according to the CBC News correspondents. My God what is happening with the people with certain powers. Wouldn't it be nice if God will come now so that it will bring some kind of senses to those who have blurry minds... people with dementia.

What to do now? Freak (or prick) the freak out? Let us all pray that the missile strikes wont contaminate the air and water around the world.

Yesterday, I watched an old war movie "Battle of the Bulge." How hundred of drums full of gas were used to dismantle the Nazi's tanks and armory, one to be remembered and ask what will happen if gas pipelines were built across British Columbia would have effect in its environment. Deep impacto?

Cave'at Emptor

Beware. Buyer's Beware! There are so many terms out there that we have to think twice and find deeper meaning to it and hope to God that the person you are talking to also knows the true meaning or definition of such term and word.

Not too many are fluent in the English language especially if the English language is mixed with other languages.

'Downsizing" for example is now to be taken seriously. Downsizing is now highly regarded as living larger than life by being five inches tall, not only meant downsizing living a frugal life.

Remember the legends of the pygmies being the first ancient inhabitants in Asia, especially in the Philippines before the Indonesians and Malaysians settled in the archipelago before the Spaniards arrived in 1521 under the navigator-explorer Ferdinand Magellan. The small people pygmies were legends and were told in the manuscript of Jules Verne and was mentioned during the Elizabethan period (Queen Elizabeth I ).  I don't know if their race still exist today. Nobody knows.

Next, the word "liposuction." Beware of liposuction. Never go under the knife with a non-English surgeon or medical practitioner because the medical procedure liposuction could mean slicing or cutting your lips from your mouth. For others, liposuction is sucking out your fats from your overweight body and the procedure is more like the process of embalming. Yuck! Please use and study the English language medical textbooks, would be doctors and surgeons. Not a joke. So many crazy humans now the mental hospital should be bigger and wider.

Time frame of strike. Some hands are itchy fartsy and before you could set the time the air strike was sent to the target. Pushing buttons. Look at what happened during the Pearl Harbor  (Kamikaze) attack which was the start of World War II. It was too late to react because of time frame. Some bombs that were swept away by jet stream had fallen on wrong target. It would be the same with chemical attack on any target. Air strike? The stream on current above space? You think there is no wind up there? You think there are no clouds up there? Make sure you have the correct, accurate maps on your target. You think that the island looks like a duck or looks a bird, that's Syria. The Quadra island looks like the map of a bird. Dude if you are looking for turkey please have a word with yourself.

Downsizing Should Not Be the Last Hope Or Remedy For OverPopulation

 I don't know how many times I read the article of MIND CONTROL, probably so many times and have to re-read again because I forgot it already. Easy to forget when there are so many articles out there, so many news and information. We are bombarded with gazillion of information and our minds cannot store them to remember as time goes by and sometimes age is a factor.

We can always remember important things because we have to. Non-essential needs can be forgotten way too fast. So, what do you think, mind control is a factor in choosing the life of downsizing? What could be?

Out of curiosity, I watched the movie video DOWNSIZING of Matt Damon the award winning  actor of the ASTRONAUT (Martian).

In this scene below he was in serious conversation with the first batch of downsized human and he > Paul Safranek (played by Matt Damon) asked so many questions about the guy's  new life as a five inches man.

More food for downsized humans
Basic needs are affordable by ordinary human beings and it would be overwhelming and practical

 From the downsized human, his life is far better and conveniently living a better life with his loved ones and he doesn't regret anything with the new transformation. Paul Safranek who works as a physical therapist and his boring and stressful  life lead him to find a way out to boredom and strenuous probably unhappy life, convinced his wife that they could try downsizing. They went to Leisure Land to find out for themselves the infrastructure built for downsized human beings. It was a stunning metropolis of urban settlement just like a modern city but built for little people. After all the preparations are made and agreed upon, Paul (Matt Damon) and his wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) have to undergo the process of  shaving all body hairs, irrigation, dental procedure and injections. The process seemed scary as if its done for those in prison and that made his wife back out from downsizing. It was too late for Paul. The twist and turn for his downsized life had him conveniently accepted the fact that he had a choice and he can make use of it in the most productive, smartest way.

Now what? He thought this idea of the unsmart foolish  scientists is the hope of  overpopulation? The answer to overpopulation. Think again. It would be less food consumption, less waste and less need for clothing and less building materials for housing but they forgot that when you are 5 inches tall, the insects, the virus and bacteria are bigger.

DOWNSIZING the movie is recommended for all viewers of any age. It's a total GP.

Something to think about. Maybe we are downsized or atomized already in the past. Look at those giant dinosaur bones and fossils in Drumheller Museum (Royal Tyrrell Museum). Visit the Cathedral Grove and find out for yourself  the giant sequoias and giant douglas fir trees. How about the huge tornadoes in Alberta... they could be the giant's carpet vacuum doing their yearly carpet cleaning.

Blue Collar Job Is The Most In-Demand

I watched documentary shows on TV such as those landfill waste and clothing waste are one of them that made me cringe. Well, should be the manufacturer of clothing lines should be the ones affected. I was surprised of such waste but what can you do with old clothes? Old, old clothes should be thrown away. Any clothes that is worn out should be thrown away. But some manufacturers would rather recycle those clothes and create something new.

What new clothes can be created from old clothes? Fashion designers made old clothes into brand new clothes. Look at those denims with holes. The more holes they have, the better it's been picked up and bought from the department store. It made the buyers the trendsetter of such trendy recycled denims.

Why the recycling of old clothes? Isn't that unsanitary? Oh, okay they can use chlorine or bleach those old used clothes and then return them to the basic form from its thread to spinneret or mills. There are specified machines to card these wool or thread and then spin and weave them though the process in the textile mills.

Why all these hassles? When they can just use the raw materials from plants? Don't tell me there's no more farmers doing the farming of cotton (for cotton), flax (linen), silk (from raw silk production of cocoons), rayon (cellulose) abaca, agave, pineapple (jusi) and the list goes on and on. Too many lazy people now. Farming is becoming a long tedious long, long waiting for the impatient. That time will come that humans will end up naked, without clothes to wear and eating nothing. Naked and afraid. Return to the Adam and Eve epic. If this comes to worst then the apple as if the source of all knowledge didn't provide the basic knowledge.

That's the problem. Farming is such a lowly occupation for the newly educated. They would rather have white collar job and forget that the blue collar job is the one that is very in demand. Farming is a decent work and God the Almighty honor and respect the farmers and their intelligence. Farmers are human beings whose intellectual and intelligence is better than most people in our world and it's not properly honored by the new generation. Need I let you be informed that most scientists in the 18th Century are farmers? The machines in our present generation were invented by farmers. Farming is based on scientific intelligence by highly intelligent human beings. God also honored farmers in their offerings and those who cannot made offerings and have problems cultivating their land should have no land.

Bible story? Or stories from "Abandoned?" Be resourceful, find it out for yourself.

The Law of Demand & Supply In Economics

The Law of Demand and Supply.

If the price is high, the demand for labor and supply is low.
If the demand is high, the price for labor and supply is low.

Do you believe the law of supply and demand?

Truth is... IT DEPENDS on the stability of the market or the manufacturer of goods and those who are involved in services of labor.

Everyday is different. Everyday the movements of goods and services are different based from the economic trends and within the actions taking place in the global market.

One can set the trend in producing more goods or supply and it will depend on the availability of resources.

Certain manufacturers of goods can always set the price index so high based on its high demand. Some goods are fixed and some labor are fixed based on its contract signed by movers and shakers of such products.

Let's take for example on clothing and accessories. Did you know that they discovered about the landfill waste? The manufacturers or producers of clothing will pay more than double when their clothing piled up the landfill? That they would rather sell their clothing lines at affordable prices than throwing them out and pay the landfill. Or swapping clothes better to keep these tons of clothes out from the landfill? Documentary shows about what happened to the clothes you wear as it ends up in the landfill. Necessary measures were made to recycle slightly used clothing to minimize dumping of clothes in the landfill. Well, that's good too especially when the landfill can be the source of wildfire, you know, you'll never know how wildfire can travel to your homes and how the entire town ends up homeless. The value of houses are more valuable perhaps...more than your clothes. Am I right? Of course I am right, dude!

Whatever, a dress simply is and should be affordable for humans. Any clothing that is way over the $50 value is not right,  inappropriate and over priced. Use common sense!

Extra Large Images

What an extra large photo would look like in my blog. Let us see. No need to click to enlarge it.
Is it better?

Oh, I know. So many people now have to use spectacles or pair eyeglasses. Some babies have problem with their visions that they also wear pair of eyeglasses.

Do you think high technology can make us vision impaired?



Can you see the details of objects when the images are XL?
