Birthdays and Anniversaries. Only one Holiday: August 5, 2019 - Civic Holiday

Today is a good day and cooler temp. at about 15 degrees C. only. I hope it stays to that temperature if not just don't go up to 20.

Hope and pray that the heatwave is over. Nobody likes hot weather temp. And how about my garden? Let me tell you the raspberry had stopped from bearing berries. It's over for them for this season, including the loganberries. The blackberries are the only one bearing its berries including the blueberries. Continuous yields so far.

We had enough yields of zucchinis and cucumber. Tomato-picking season soon. Actually had picked some cherry tomatoes lately. I'm waiting for the giant tomatoes to ripen. The eggplant has at least 2 veggie but too small to harvest as of this time. The pumpkin is also small and patience is much needed before it grows to maturity. There are dragon tongue beans hanging from the beanvines but not enough to harvest yet (would you believe that I planted 100 seeds on the vegetable garden and only 16 bean plants sprout out from the ground). The many seedlings of tomatoes, cherries, papaya, lemons and orange fruit - planted on separate container just perished. However, the tomato seedlings I just planted a month ago and scattered them on the ground together with bed of zucchinis and cucumber had the chance of survival. Yup, those other batch of tomatoes (seedlings) survived.

The dahlias continuously bloom like crazy especially the pink dahlias and the red dahlias. There are few yellow dahlias while the burgundy colored dahlias starting to fade away probably been suffocated or spaced out due to compact space within other flowers such as the rows of sunflowers which tower over 9.5 ft. now in height. Sunflowers stems are so fat and sturdy standing tall and some of them have flowers already. One sunflower disc measures 10" (diameter) across the stem. Frequent visitors include honeybees, yellow jackets, wasps, ants, spitbug. There are small anonymous insects that are seen on some of the flowers looked like they are helping in opening the sunflower and enlargement of the disc floret. Very strange indeed. Each day the disc of the sunflower increases at least one inch in diameter. As I recorded when the sunflower first opened up to a 7 inches in diameter across the stem, the next day to 8", the next day to 9" and  10" floret disc size today. Expected size is 14" in diameter - size. We'll find that out soon in the next few days.

How To Handle The Pressure

The `man of the house` called an excavator so that the front yard can be looked after, to check on what`s causing the problem. I told Lorne that there`s no need because the lump or blob is gone. The ground is kind of soft to step on as if its tundra. Well, it was a month ago when the lawn careman Clayton or Clay-Nor had sprayed chemicals on it to kill those weeds. However those chemicals wont be that nuisance nor the cause of the problem there. Whatever!

The excavator arrived I think, ( haven`t seen him there at the yard though) surprised that there are small flags on the lawn where the blob is so maybe the excavator placed those small flags there on the ground.

Yey! FUN WITH FLAGS. It turned out it was my husband who placed those mini flags there on the lawn so that when the excavator arrives then he knew where to dig. Then he returned to his work and continued with his renovation at the workplace.

The blob has downsized already not that huge. There`s no more running water down the edge of the sidewalk. After few minutes the guy named Dallas, the excavator called and asked if we can ask somebody to dig that yard instead because he was about to go to Vancouver. What the hell. Actually the problem would be if the water line or water system in our house has that streaming water down the sidewalk maybe the problem could be sewer line. Something to do with the sewer or what stuck there. Hah! What is this STRANGER THINGS... when it should be FEAR. Ha ha ha. Pressure. Somebody is trying to give us the pressure on how we can handle the pressure. darn, I should not laugh. It's a problem dude. That somebody should solve the problem.

Really! Okay maybe we can have our hose hooked over the fence of our neighbor but with the neighbor`s permission. OMG! The water running from their water tap to our hose...know what it smells paint. It tasted like there`s paint on it. You know the taste and smell of paint eh. But you know what I am thankful of Sandy, our neighbor and the neighbor beside us, beside our home who is giving us free water from their water tap even if it smells and tasted like paint. Lasang pintura, amoy pintura. In other words lasang PLASTIC.  Bakit di ba. Now they know that their water from their water tap smells and taste like paint. Who knows maybe the "garbage from Canada to Philippines back to Canada has arrived at the island." WOW!  Not allowed to use the proverbial question mark. Somebody is an A-hole.

Sorry, not trying to intimidate the quiet, silent people in my community. Maybe those 99 sunflowers are giving them so much stress and pressure too because who knows might have thousands of people coming for selfie. Well, they don`t know where I am though. Nobody knows where you hide me and  my family. That`s one thing is with blogging. Google and Blogger could have that interception and my blog can be seen only in Hawaii. Or I could be in Hawaii not in Canada. Why that sarcasm. It is because some Hawaiian residents are here in Canada. So maybe the Hawaiian island is just a step away. Sen. Bernie Sanders too in Canada now with those diabetics so that they can avail of cheaper insulin. Why too many humans are suffering from diabetes? That must be caused for alarm.

Excuse me! I am getting to be a bitch! I am becoming the bitch and the witch in this community.
 I never curse anybody yet.

Not long ago when there were so much pressures from realtors wanting to get hold of the key at our home. They want our house key so that they can go inside the house, in and out as if they owned the house to show the house to their clients. There was one female realtor who scolded me like she owns the house and get pissed that she wants the key to the house. What? Why? There the ? is working now. Why she wants the key when I opened the door for her. There is that weirdness in her that she wants to have the key to herself and what she will do with the house where our belongings and entire furniture and appliances there? Everything in that house belongs to us including those new modern appliances (We paid our monthly rent on time. We are good tenants. My husband co-built the house (he was the carpenter/contractor, painter of that house owned by an East Indian). I don't know how and why the realtres a bitchy woman she's acting such a bitch just because I am a Filipina? I think more educated than her. I'm not a low-life human being. I didn't give the key to her. I let her in and showed the house to her clients but I didn't get out. The door was opened and let her go after she was  done showing the house. OMG! Now if I am very bitchy nowadays its because of this tyranny and bullying for many years. Too many bullies here in Canada. BULLIES! BULLIES! BULLIES! My God, do I look like an Indi? I'm not ugly. I'm beautiful. I'm not black nor do I looked dark in skin color? What the hell. Yeah, Odin let it snow!

Know what, many items from our house went missing during the showing of those houses we rented in. What happened is we rented this house we thought would be our permanent house then suddenly realtors came talking to the houseowner that somebody would like to buy the house no matter how pricey the house. Like they can make huge deals, blah, blah and the salestalk never stop as if stalking. Like we are being used to keep the price of houses higher. Giving more value to houses. And you wonder why we keep on moving. Literally, we are being victimized. We were taking advantage of. A friend of mine told me that there's no reason to give them the key every time they asked it. TRUE! Why should we? Although in the past we did give the key because we put trust in these realtors. We don't trust their clients though. We reported this incident to the police. We have a friend who works for the RCMP and he knew what happened. It`s not nice to point fingers at somebody or anybody because it is better to catch them in the act. 

The last straw, my pair of gold earrings went missing  and my daughter`s sunglasses went missing at the same time. Can`t find them.

Thinking of all these problems from the past made me stronger and bitchy. Yeah people too many bitches now in my community, you can join the club. Or maybe join the NRA. Let me tell you I have contacts at the FBI HQ & CIA just in case things get so freaking hellish.

Never Ending Story

Uhm, suddenly the hackers are OUT! You got the message right eh?

Ask my permission first if you want to copy anything from my blogs. Do not ever scare me or we will scare each other to no end.

True Story. Do you want true story?

My husband told me to keep water in the storage in containers such as bucket, tub, pots and pitchers. I wonder why. Yeah, noticed that the water pressure has changed from the water tap. There was less pressure last Saturday afternoon. What's going on? When I got out from the front door, my husband was busy talking over the phone with a city worker. I was surprised when I gazed my eyes on the stump on the front yard, on the lawn. There was a big lump of some kind on the surface of the lawn and when my husband stepped on top of the lump it looked like a blob. The blob-like or lump moved like a jello. What the hell is that? Then water was running through that surface down the road. A stream like water running through the road to the neighbor's front sidewalk, then a middle aged woman wearing lime green shirt came rushing to us. She went directly to me and told me  that,  "did you know that it's never been greener in this area since they were here." That the yard is never well taken care of since they live here in this part of the city. I know, the brother (of the owner of the house we are currently living with my family) informed us that the yard was never been taken care of and the former tenants do not water the berries. The lawns were never been look after. The woman asked me if I need some containers to keep water because it will take that long to fix such mess on the yard. Wow! How long would that be?

It was Saturday that blob-like appeared on the front yard. Saturday and Sunday, city workers and plumbers and other workers do not really work on those days. Anyway, for whatever reason after about 15 minutes the city worker arrived with his tools. He checked on what could be the problem and shutdown the water pipeline so,   automatically we don't have water running on our faucet and shower, nothing. He uncovered the drainage and water still running fast down the road. He wont dig the yard to get rid of the blob. I think there is so much water on the front yard. That could be it. That's why the former tenants who lived here before never water the berries and they never look after the lawn just let the bermuda grass dry and have a deserted look out there. Well, I hope that's water from the sewer pipeline not water from the ocean. If you know what I mean.

I went inside the house and looked at our TV. A flash message on the screen: Quakes on northern part of Philippines, 66 injured. What?! What's the connection ?

Because we don't have water running on our water tap, we wont be able to take a shower or do the laundry until the mess is fixed. We have water stored for brewing coffee, water on our two big pots, water on Brita pitcher, water on coffee maker and water in a big plastic tub outside the yard. We have a case of watered bottle. Thank God I already had a bath and I'm done with my laundry.

Then I overheard the city worker, "I'm sorry Lorne! $35,  if you want water."

WTH!!!! We pay our Hydro religiously. We're paid all the time.

I told him that the lump outside the yard was a BLOB. It's an alien!

To dig the yard will take longer period of time. Why? You can't just dig because we don't know what's underneath down there and where the gas pipeline. We don't like hitting the gas line. It's okay if hitting a gas will make us rich like what happened in Texas when Texans dug something down there on the ground and voila they turned into oil tycoons.

Measure To Be Sure

It's only 21 degrees C. today and 23 C inside the house. The weather temperature has been lowered that a 21 C feels like in between 16 to 19. It's nice when it's cooler, right? Most of the people I know hate hot weather condition especially the elderly. Those who are not complaining are people with air conditioning unit or with several fans inside their homes. Or people on vacation in hot tropical climate who favored lots of sunshine so that they go suntanning. As a matter of fact those humans would visit suntan parlor and had artificial suntan solution for their skin. Wow! People are all different with their choices. We all have to respect our individuality, choices and preferences.

Redundancy? Nobody likes redundant situations and repetitions. Okay I can understand your pleas and woes and many indifferences. However, there are group of people who love the repetition don't know why. Ask them not me.

So why have to post sunflowers again? Why post too many flowers? Maybe I love seeing flowers. Maybe gardening and gardens are the "in thing nowadays." God loves nature and what nature consist of ? It's the force of nature we have to watch out.

That thing of beauty is a joy forever. Allow me to post my sunflowers the plant that is above me now standing straight along the fence.

 OMG! The tallest sunflower plant is now 8 ft. in height. I think these sunflowers are the "Large Russian variety."

The plants have buds already and maybe its full bloom will be in August 2019.

The sunflowers just right there beside our home measure 7.5 ft. in height. Plants have buds and maybe the complete full bloom of its flowers on first week of August. Some of the sunflowers are shorter than the others but with buds already. The shortest plant is just 3.5 ft. tall. I should have not planted the sunflowers among the dahlias as they overcrowded each other. I should not have planted the sunflower and followed the instruction of  leaving a space of 24 inches (60 cm) from each other. However, I have different aim and purpose why I plant these sunflowers.

Note: Sunflower: Large Russian variety is native to North America. This variety is used throughout Russia for the production of cooking oil. Large Russian was used as the variety for bird seeds because of its large seed heads and their seeds according to farmers are compared to "nut seeds."

Large Russian Sunflowers Seeds are available at Campbell River Garden Centre & Mammoth Sunflower seeds 

fr. Superstore

Each seed from Large Russian variety produces one large flower the size of a big platter. 14 inches across on tall stems. Would you believe? To see is to believe and that's why I planted these sunflowers in the first place.

Whatever, those large russians could be from the MAMMOTH. Notice that the difference in petals between Large Russian and Mammoth. The other is pointy petals (mammoth) and Large Russians have circular edge petals just like daisy.

I had given 17 seedlings for my sister to plant in her garden but she said the seedlings died and few of the seedlings (she gave them to her daughter) had triumphantly grew up taller than expected because the plants didn't compete with each other on the ground space. Each seedling was in one meter gap or at least 3 -4 ft from each other.

You only follow the spacing of 24" from one sunflower to another if you are to plant in a 100 acre field where rows are arrange perfectly and machines do the manipulation and standardized spacing.

Whether You Like It Or Not

Nothing much to blog except that we have an amazing summer! Eh?! With the hot weather condition at this point in time it's almost summer time. I can feel he heat even after a bath. I think i's best to have two showers a day because of the heatwave.

Wishing I'm living somewhere at the lake. i don't care about the beach or the river. The lake is much better to stay at this summer time hot condition. Whatever! maybe I'm dreaming. That's what happened when it's HOT! It gets into the head and the brain cells seem to function slowly. Some people getting mad at something for no apparent reason other than they are so pissed about the weather. Not really used to this kind of heat. You wonder why those people in the Middle East in those deserted islands with less water how they fight all the time because extreme hot or heatwave can cause disappointments, everyone gets angry at something. While the rest of the population tend to just sleep in a slumber, in a hammock and forget that time ever exist.

We all should adapt to the Italian way of  coping up with heat. After lunch, siesta is much preferred by the locals and all stores, businesses or business establishments closed down until 4 pm and resume back to normal business hour after 4 pm then up to dawn. That means from 1pm to 4 pm the Italians are having their snooze, relaxing at home, naptime for them in those godly hours. Or maybe they are enjoying other life's pleasure and leisure such as watching television programs. Whatever you could imagine ask the Italians... the Venetians.

Now, if you want to see what's up there in the blue sky, please don't go blind. Your computer is your new sky.  Lessen your computer viewing especially when the weather is hot cause you don't want your face getting burn. Be good to yourself.

What's Real? What Is Not Real?

When sometimes it's better to concentrate here on my blogs at Blogger and just close my account at Facebook. The problem is my friends and relatives are on Facebook. Simply don't like sharing my blogs with them to read. It's a different scenario and obstacle to tackle if you share your writings with your friends and let them scrutinize your worth. It's not that I don't trust their judgment but you know... it's better to have fair judgment and criticisms from another fellow  writers or bloggers. It's how things are and don't ask that question again.

When you read the novels of famous novelist Wilbur Smith, on every books he had written there are quotes unquotes written comments or reviews from his fellow novelists such as Stephen King (author of many thrillers: Carrie, The Shining, IT,  Chucky,  etc.) and worthy reviews from many editors from world's leading newspapers: Washington Post, Vanity Fair, Sunday Times, The Times, The Telegraph, etcheterra.

Hmm, I wonder why Lee Israel didn't make a review, I just heard she criticized Tom Clancy. Oh my!
So did you ever watch the movie of Melissa McCarthy 's "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" (Yeah, can you forgive her?) Melissa McCarthy in her outstanding portrayal of an aging publishing company's writer who seemed to be out of luck and dowdy when it comes to her boring career as a celebrity biographer (she was once the bestselling celebrity biographer in the 1970's and 80's) . She was once famous but had lose her streak in the uncertainty of such life as a writer and had committed a crime of forging (selling fake letters from famous writers and famous celebrities whom I don't even recognized names). It was a true story drama. I can't believe that Melissa will accept this role after being THE SPY in the same movie title with actor, action star Jason Statham. She was that good of a great comedianne in the TV sitcom Mike & Molly, sad to say it was not shown anymore on the same time slot and channel we used to watch her. What happened? She should just work for SLN. However, let me tell you that Melissa is very talented and hope she will accept better script that resonates with her skills and charm. She was an alcoholic, her cat was so sick, and she needs to survive not to be evicted from her old rotten, stinky apartment > pertaining to Lee Israel so that's probably the reason why Lee Israel committed such crime and maybe the life of writers are something we all should know as "struggling" just like what happened to those struggling painters such as Vincent Van Gogh and other artists who committed suicides in the past.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
J.K. Rowling was a struggling writer and a welfare recipient before she became famous writer for HARRY POTTER.
That's direct opposite of what happened to Lee Israel.
While Tom Clancy? I think he was a CIA. ?
----------------------------------------------------------------

Artists are not paid the right amount worthy of their skills. Maybe some of them are not really paid. Haggling could be part of the deal as in bargaining table that the writers and painters or any talented artist never get the fair chance. Look at the artist/singer Taylor Swift who we thought had rights to all her songs but NO. Artists have publicist/manager and whoever doing the managing of the person's career get all the contract written in black and white. Maybe the artist gets only percentage or royalty of what was earned. Wow! Whatever! That was just in the news recently and we don't know if its true or not. Maybe soon there will be a true life story about the very talented musician/songwriter/singer Taylor Swift. Yeah baby, you have to calm down.

Bilingualism is Evil and What You Think About Multilingualism?

Bilingualism is evil? So true! It makes perfect sense that's why grammatical errors can be so annoying. There is no perfect grammar whatsoever. Yeah, even if you are an American, British or fluent in the usage of the English Language.

You are right, former PM Stephen Harper "that Bilingualism is really, really EVIL. "

I watched the "Spelling Bee Contest" once about these "Grade A Students" who are really smart when it comes to spelling. They knew almost everything, every vocabulary words from Webster's Dictionary to Oxford's dictionary. Then lately, these geniuses had problems with their knowledge on their lexicography and thesaurus. Know why? Experimenters used vocabulary words for the spelling contest derived from the language used in other countries. In other words if you are an English-speaking human you have no knowledge about the languages spoken in other countries (Asian, European, Middle East 's Arabic, Slavic/Nordic, etc. unless of course if you are fluent in many languages - multilingual). I think they also added the gay lingo and slavic/viking. Nordic/Slavic/Viking. Highlander dudes. When I heard younger contestants asking for "word of origin please" then followed by inquiry " is it an adjective or a verb?" Is it common noun or pronoun? What the hell is that word? Is it demonic terminology? Is it witchy-washy woe? OMG! Action speaks louder than words.

Is it noun or pronoun? Is it a medical term? And the questions never stop. Yup, out of this world "vocabulary words never been used in normal conversation." I think the experimenters also used Klingon's language from Star Trek.

Maybe next time the growl sound will be included such as "Grrr Grawlll grawwlll growup grrr"

OMG! Ha ha ha ha! Oopss! j/k  LOL.

Anybody out there? So what did you learn from watching last night's episode of  "FEAR THE WALKING DEAD?" The whole cast of characters became a cast of heroes. Rescue heroes. That's one of the best episodes for  Fear The Walking Dead. Bravo! How a refurbished old plane can fly? That's amazing! Worthy of a miracle.

Are You A Skeptic Or Believer?

I'm working too at home. Who said I don't have work? I have too many works and I don't like bragging about my work unless I'm provoke.

I told you before that my posts so far reached more than 20,000 posts some were deleted already. Maybe I will start writing using pad paper and ballpen or notebook and everything will be handwritten. OMG! You know that's crucial right? That would be lots of work. Just the diary from year 1991 to 2019 occupies two big boxes and had thrown some of the diary journals. How many ballpoint pens I used and notebooks? You wont believe it anyway better not ask. Don't ask, don't tell. lol.

Me of all people writes almost anything. I write...I keep on writing. I jot down notes on every paper I saw on the desk , on the table. I keep notes on calendar. I have journals right there on my bedside table. I woke up at night or at early dawn with an idea that sparks all of a sudden then I wrote it on my journal. I wrote all my dreams and nightmares. I saw something peculiar down the streets, everywhere I go and I carried them on my photographic memory and so glad that I have digital camera to record anything I see to better others see them with their own eyes. To see is to believe.

I'm more of a writer than a talker. Most writers are the quiet type, they are the silent water runs deep. Only few writers talk (ed) too much. I think they are reporters not actually writers. I could go on and on but what the hell do I have enough space here? The relevance of space in composition is the best thing that ever happened to blog writers in Blogger. So thank God for Blogger. May the force be with you!

Sunday Musing

I woke up at 5 am. Surprise! My husband was awake earlier than 5 am and he's already having a cup of hot brewed Maxwell House coffee. He told me that he will go to work at 7 am today. What? It's Sunday today!

Anyway, that's not really a big surprise. He works everyday, even on holidays. I think he likes to check on everybody and check on every grounds at the workplace making sure everything's alright. He has to finish the renovation after the demolition done on one of the apartments he manages. He does his duty and responsibility very well. He worked so hard for the past 20 years being the manager for the townhouse. He is the carpenter, pressure washerman, the grounds maintenance guy sometimes he is the plumber, he is the painter, the demolition man, lawnmower man, gardener, everything he can do it as a handyman. Moving heavy appliances, carrying heavy loads dumping them to dumpsites. Heavy loads! HEAVY! No man would do that heavy load lifting. Let others do it and you'll pay and be shocked of how much you'll pay somebody to do it. I almost said to my husband that he is not a machine to carry and lift heavy machines.  Lately, he can't do climbing up to the roof to fix shingles after the storm, he let other contractors do it for hefty sum of monies. Too high of roofs even if you have ladders. You will need helicopter. lol.  Sometimes, better safe than sorry.  He tried to save and help lessen the cost of  fixing things for the company he works for. He is that very loyal to the company.

A medal and recognition for his excellent job for more than twenty years? Are you kidding me? There is nothing like that in the workplace here in Canada. Be happy if you have a job > this is what employees and employers need to know. Be happy that employees and employers have a job to work on. However, you should not abuse the good side of a man. That's all I can advise to many employers.

Loyalty seems to be a factor in being a good worker actually turns out the best of him as if the company belongs to him but it belongs to somebody else.

So, it's Sunday today. I wonder what the homily on Sunday, the 21st of July 2019.

Always Be Careful & Be Prepared

TEACHING your children not to be overconfident just give them the confidence but not to be too conceited. Not all people are to be trusted. ?

Children in Canada are taught about learning not to trust strangers. Cases of sexual harassment, rapes, sexual innuendos, abduction is a problem in Canada. Teachers in schools in Canada taught their students about being careful. How many missing children and adults in Canada? Too many! I don't know how many missing kids and adults in Philippines. It's over populated in Philippines so thousands of missing kids probably not a problem eh? Don't take things and people for granted especially if you know them.

Learning the way to trust. How? When everyday you are warned on TV, radio, schools and everywhere you are taught to be careful. With too many bullies, scams and fraudsters abound.

How many times you are scammed? Everyone's a scamaphobic with phobias about being scammed. Remember the phony callers from Revenue Canada from India? OMG! Too many thousands of victims in Canada. Why Canada is the target of scammers? When it's not the kids it's the seniors their target. I don't know why. Tell me.

How many times on TV when victims reported their case of being duped? Many times. That's why we all have to be worried but at the same time learn not to trust or be cautious and think twice on every transaction that involves monies. Ask questions. Inquire. Always ask proof of evidence for any business transaction. If you are worried or something is really too good to be true but hesitant always ask for assistance from a confidante or trusted friend. Also make sure you know those people working in the banks and make sure they are real bank employees not just there to scam you. My old aunt was a victim in Nanaimo bank so make sure that when you do your banking better inquire first if the bank employees are real humans  not machines and make sure they are "real bank employees" not bank robbers. Also ask their ID and business card to peruse. Also, make sure those bank employees have the same respect you allow them to have. Respect is earned and must be learned. Do not disrespect and devalue the majority of people whether they are poor or uneducated, old, slow and with disability. You'll never know what you will become in the next days to come. Bank employees do not own  the banks they only work for the bank and their customers who are banking and depositing their finance (monies) are the "real owners of the bank" so stop the drama. I know banking and finance better than you do. When you don't trust the people banking at your bank then it's vice versa, you get what you feel the same thing as no trust. It's mutual. You don't trust me, I don't trust you, the feeling is mutual. Therefore with that kind of attitude no bank is perfect and millions of people will probably use a different bank and bank somewhere else or there are other ways and means to do the personal way of banking and saving. We are not a cashless society yet eh? Not all people have microchip implants and by the way, have you seen a human being with 666 mark on his forehead yet?

As I said before, a bank without monies is similar to a blood bank without blood.

Yes It's ME! Who Else? You Think It's YOU?

Just showing that the sunflower plants are taller than me now and over the fence's height but haven't bloom its flowers. It will take a long time before buds are out. Maybe the sunflowers need more pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Moths are too concentrated on the cabbage plants at the vegetable garden. I don't know when beautiful butterflies such as morpho, swallowtails and monarchs will visit the floral garden because you know have to catch them for sure. That's what it is they have esp and that's the reason why they have fears. Tears for fears.

By the way, the long dress I'm wearing in these pictures above is my own creation. At least I can sew my own outfit and I don't need to order from Amazon. I will begin with my sewing project once again in the next days to come. I wish to have more textiles because sewing is really my passion aside from photography and blogging.

Thanks to my super sweet daughter for taking photos of me. She is my official photographer. Instead of her being the model in my photographs she would like to work behind the camera. Ewan ko ba kung sino pa yung maganda... Pero siempre sa akin lang sya nagmana. Ha ha ha! If she is being a bit weird ganun din ako. I have too many things in my mind. Punong-puno nga ng ideas and opinions ang brain ko kaya di ba obvious na ang mga blogs ko ang kinukuhaan ng ideas ng iba dyan. Caught in the act naman sila kaya they have to pay. Those writers and tv/movie writers? Don't brag too much kasi mahuhuli din kayo. Aminin nyo na kasi na sa stories ko lang kayo kumukuha ng idea. Whatever!

I'm Not Crazy Yet!

It was on the seventh day of July 2019 that I felt very tired and very sleepy that I slept almost the whole day after I cooked pancit at 7 am for lunch. I let my family had their early lunch while I took the rest day and sleep and woke up in the afternoon and watch TV news as usual. The news about climate change, politics and the HK extradition bill. I went back to sleep. I told myself naptime once again is much needed. I woke up a time when it's about time to cook for supper. However, my husband was willing to be the chef yesterday so he grilled the beef, fried potatoes and had the pancit (chowmein with sliced hin pork, shrimps, cabbage, onions, celery and other garnishings) once again for dinner.

My husband's friend dropped by to gather berries at our garden: blackberries, loganberries and raspberries. I told him to pick some of those red currants and pick those zucchinis and cucumber too. I heard them talking loudly at the patio and decided to increase the volume of our TV.

Sunday, what to watch on Sunday? The continuation of "FEAR The Walking Dead." Episode: The Little Prince. The new cast of characters joined together at the dilapidated gas station together with the youngsters. Morgan joined them and brought the plane so that they can fix it. However, Althea is not that good of a mechanic and the small propeller flew out from the plane and almost hit Luciana. More dialogues, etc, etc... Morgan met the woman who I think work for CDC. Charlie & Victor sent messages through walkie talkie that they were coming with the much bigger  propeller for the plane attached to the air gas balloon the shape of a bottle of wine. While they were waiting for their landing, Alicia went inside the building and learned that the kids are nowhere to be found. The children escaped taking the vehicle's key that belongs to Alicia (she gave the key anyway). Then she went looking for them. Once again, a chain of zombies was used to hinder any safe passage but Alicia will keep on searching for them no matter what. Charlie & Victor landed and crashed on the "contaminated area" and the zombies are coming to attack them. To be continued. Uhm, not so victorious eh? LOL. That's what it is with FEAR TWD. Then at about 8 pm we watched the latest BIG BROTHER (USA). Jack the look alike of Jason Mamoa won the HOH and had chosen 2 women to eliminate from the Big Brother House.

A lot of happenings lately but I'm too tired to write this time. Hey, you know that I'm not much of a "talkie" so I've been writing. I was writing and blogging and what if I tell you that my blogs had reached 19, 170 posts already! WOW! OMG! How many books would that be?

A book of Wilbur Smith has 400 - 500 pages.

I could have 38 books with all the interesting posts that I had written. So, if you think that I'm too lazy... you must be that crazy!

I am very, very tired and I'm feeling the burnout already!

Happy Canada Day!
