Time goes by so swiftly, so suddenly as if it's already autumn in summer. Wow! I'm loving a cooler breeze, fresh air and the wind today is totally amazing. I wish it's always like this everyday.
It's time for me to bake a cake this time and have to gather ingredients from our family garden. How about fresh zucchini, fresh blueberries and fresh raspberries? Three wonderful combination added with flour, sugar, butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract. Yum, yum, yum! I love cake fresh out from the hot oven. Warm, moist sweet cake without frosting of any kind. I love it that way.
I am who I am.
Yes, I am very strange indeed. There's no one like me. I could be out of this world, alienated but not an alien life form. Duh.
I could be a beautiful, white mysterious cocoon. Aaha-ha- ha-ha-ha! j/k
Last night, I was watching TV and all of a sudden there was a flashback of a story about JFK Jr. with a quote " I am not like my father." Why all of a sudden JFK Jr. is in the news once again? Ah, the mysterious tragic death, the airplane crash, the death of his wife and sister-in-law, his own death, and the many unsolved mysterious stories behind it. It's not over yet with the Kennedy's. Maybe popular people especially if they belong to the most powerful, influential and wealthy families...their lives can never be silenced. Kennedy families and clan are the pharaohs and mummies of America. They are part of the History being unfold.
Then also by surprise that AMAZING RACE (Canada) was broadcasted last night instead of tonight. Travel around the world from Toronto, Ontario to Kamloops, BC. Tasks to perform by contestants include: Zipline above the old mine and hit the target, recording for the movie: Lion King's voice, a visit to the Circle Creek Ranch and search for the proverbial lucky cow with secret number tag on its ear. The team (2 guys) chosen by Canadians to join the A.R.C. was eliminated in this first leg of the race. Weird! They were almost at the winning streak but they lost their map and arrived last at the pit stop. Next is travel to Revelstoke, BC. The contestants performed tasks: motorbike race, planting of young trees in the forest, assemble train set and railway let the locomotion runs perfectly, hike up to snowy mountain glacier to the pit stop where Jon Montgomery (Host of the Amazing Race, Olympic Champion) was waiting for them to arrive so that he can announce the winner of that leg of the race. What's really the purpose of this race? More of tourism exploration, a continuation of the race of "Around The World in 80 Days?" Could it be that it's a show that offer hands -on knowledge on what kind of work is available in those places where they arrive or the pit stop offers employment availability for the contestants? Could it be that it's really a contest that will earn the winners the prestige, honor, prizes and to see different cities, provinces, countries around the world are plus to what they are after to gain and grab opportunity when and where it happens.
In Canada, exploration is a much needed knowledge in education. A lot of field trips in elementary and high schools and in college... exploration, introspection in wider, open spaces and higher skills are part of the requirement. You already have life skills but to further achieve at greater heights and lengths then experience and other multiple skills are of vital importance. Highly competitive individuals tend to over qualify themselves simply because of stiff competition. Some humans tend to do more extreme skills when there is so much pressure. What more if you are to compete in the OLYMPIC GAMES? Double the stress and double pressure?
