Source Code

It could happen to you. When suddenly you are that so perfect with grammar however you knew and very much aware that your blogs became the source code for games. Irritable games! they want your colors. They want your numbers. They want everything about the hidden codes. They want every idea, strategy and gimmicks you have. Gimmicks? Opinions? ideas!

OMG! Who are the robots in our government and our countries?

If somehow, I don't follow the prefect grammar anymore it's because of what's happening and what happened in the past. They want you to go real fast. Answer, reply real fast as lightning. Go fast. Go swiftly amidst the noise and the haste.

Just like that "proverbial farmer to framer."

Then the glass got broken.

Then it was crystallized.

Then it becomes sugar.

Then it becomes salt.

I don't know what I'm having for food this time...

For lunch.

I get so tired and fed up.

Human. I am only human not a robot.

I think it's time to investigate who are the robots in the Government and
 many agencies in private and public office. It's nice knowing them.

Bible Is The First History Of Ancient Humans

The framers of he Constitution are mostly farmers. Hacienderos! They owned tracts of land, thousands upon thousands of acres of land for farming: wheat, rice, potatoes, coconuts, abaca, sugarcanes, bananas, mangoes, and other fruits. Land is also used for cattle industry, poultry and piggery. To add herds of goats, deers, mooses and other wild animals? That's awesome, but I don't eat wild animals for food.

If you are knowledgeable of the Bible stories probably you are aware that GOD favors the ancient people who cultivate their lands, the farmers who offered farm gifts for God only second to God's favor those who are the shepherds who looked after farm animals. At one point in time when Jacob offered Isaac as a sacrificial lamb, however, before the sacrifice rite happened, Jacob saw an animal stuck on one of the rocks at the slope of he mountain and instead of Isaac, Jacob offered the animal instead of his son as his offering. God favors gifts of vegetables and farm animals as sacrificial offerings. As time progressed what do you think God would like as offerings? In our generation, most Catholics offer lighting of candles at the altar. You wont believe that billions of candles are lighted, melted and burned for offerings everyday. Fresh flowers are also favored now as offerings, candles & flowers.

The Old Testament favors the ancient way of  acquiring lands, cultivating the lands for food, farming, housing and for greener pasture for animals. Religious rites and prayers accompanied their entire lives.  The New Testament features the way of God in Jesus Christ name. From carpentry (building of houses and temples) to fisheries. Animals are no longer sufficient that they tend to move over closer to bodies of water: ocean, rivers, lakes and ponds to gather sea creatures for food. The population of humans dominated over population of animals that sea animals or seafood were value added source of consumption. Then what happened to water? Less water or absence of water  was evidently a catastrophe.

Human evolution has taught us that as we evolve through times and changes our means to survive are seen on what we value first and foremost. We educate ourselves to learn more and be trained if necessary. Life skills and experience had helped us achieve what we can achieve and teach the next generation of survivalists. Humans are by nature, naturally survivalists.

Farmers For Framers

Am I in  a hurry to type my blog composition here? It's just somebody is in a hurry to get hold of what I'm typing.

Down below in previous posts about the farmers and framers. I typed farmer (or farmers for plural) because that was my topic to be discussed then every time I typed farmer suddenly another AH was quick to mispelled the word farmer into framer. That's what it is with "hacking." Windows 10 is just like that. Sensitive machine because it is originally runs on "touch." So if your finger has pressed or just slightly touch any letter from a keyboard esp. the caps lock the written words automatically deletes. It becomes a hacker or hacking happens. ghost hack. People with Parkinson's should not touch any keyboard or else.......

The hacker thought this is a maze runner's blog and that hacker thought he is being helpful. He could be a she. Don't know the gender of that ghost hacker.

Why? Are those AH in the bucket list?

Codifying my blog again? Farmers for Framers?!
 Hmm, thinking again why that ghost hacker hacked my blog?

Yeah, sure why not framers. Framers of the Constitution?

Framers for housing. Okay, why not.

Hundred Millions of people are homeless. 
Turning trees into wood for housing is beneficial than turning wood into paper.

Options In Gold

When I was in Elementary in the '70's, we thought Philippines was the rice granary of the world. It was actually! However, due to many unforgiving calamities of typhoons and floods,the staple food became almost non-existent. Then the source of staple food in Asia, which was China stop being "agricultural and turning into highly industrial" to never cultivate the land for farming. Chinese became so educated and don't want to use their hands for farming. In the Philippines, the late Pres. Marcos expanded and utilized the Agrarian Reform, giving farmers and would be framers free land to utilize the land for agricultural purposes. However, that's not the case of what happened in the past. Farmers started selling their lands to developers. What happened in China happened in Philippines. Education is first and foremost the first priority. When farmers sold their lands in order to send their kids to school then what happened next was no land for agricultural purposes, rather less land for farming. The population of people are non-stop and the consumption of food is going at the rate of a speeding bullet. Philippines was once an exporter of rice to other countries, now Philippines has to import rice from other countries especially from Thailand, Indonesia, and other countries with bigger rice granaries. Even coconut products are imported now from Thailand and Indonesia. From Malaysia? Malaysia is getting highly industrialized country... I don't know if they are concerned about their agricultural products. China? The most industrialized country in the world? With their skyscrapers higher and taller than other countries in Asia and their high technology going at the rate of  "_____?____." Huawei, lol.  Look at Korea, who would have thought that they are hi-tech compared to Philippines? During the Marcos era/ regime, Philippines is the most highly developing nation in Asia. After that?

But who knows, maybe Philippines is the sleeping dragon  and if you bully that country then you get into huge trouble.

For those who are out of rice, there are many options to have just like the "perogies" on the photo above. Perogies are dumplings made of mashed potatoes with cheese and bacon. I added some gaylan and oyster's sauce and it was suave! Yum, yum good to the last bite.


NOTE: Did you know that you can be highly educated and be a farmer?  Not because cultivating the lands are for the poor? That's what you think. The Newton families and Einstein and the many world famous scientists were actually farmers. Framers who owned tract of lands.

For the fishermen and would become  fisherman, nothing's wrong with that occupation. Jesus Christ was a carpenter until he became a fisherman.

Chinook & Thai Jasmine Rice

One of those days when it's really, really hot and humid that it's best to just take an afternoon nap. It would be nice if there's a hammock at the backyard. It's not windy so the air is a bit warm. My skin is getting tanned. I wish that the weather is cooler because it's already or almost end of August 2019. Hot summer days in Canada is hot as if desertland. Hot and muggy because of high humidity.

Okay, you think a bath and shower will help? NO. Maybe just for few minutes. Air conditioned house or electric fans would probably help alleviate the heat inside the house but cold weather temperature the natural way is much, much better if you know what I mean? It's better to stay indoor and have the electric fans on for the long duration of heatwave. For those who want to get out and work or do their leisurely way of spending their summer vacation this is the time to do so.

My husband and my son caught chinooks at Brown's Bay. Chinook is the largest genus of salmon. They went fishing at 5 am and returned at 9 am. When they caught big chinooks and one pink salmon it's  time to come home.  Chinook is much, much better than pink salmons and other species of salmons. However, some fishermen would rather catch sockeye. I like chinook salmon  better than any other species of salmon  because the taste of chinook is similar to tuna.

CHINOOK's description.
Salmon with large black spots on back, dorsal fin and upper and lower lobes of the tail.
Jaw has dark mouth, black gum at base of the teeth
Tail -both upper and lower lobes of tail are covered with black spots and
 silver pigment coloration is prominent
Has average size scales.

 This is it, holding to that slippery but fresh  chinook. I think this chinook is over 20 lbs. Of course it's heavy! Duh. My hubby has to clean it first for fillet.

 For every meals (lunch and dinner),  we have Jasmine Rice which  is the best ever. Good that this brand is on sale today at the supermarket. Better to buy now when it's on SALE because in the next few days the price of rice will go up.

At The Garden

Another Sunday morning! I hope it's the happiest Sunday. My husband and our son went fishing today and I hope they catch lots of big fish and crabs. Crabs more valuable and I'm craving for crabs. Also, would be nice if they catch rock cod, ling cod and less salmons. Rock cod and ling cods are great for sinigang broth and deep fried.


At the garden.

 Sunflowers are getting old. Heavy heads are droopy already.

Some of them already kissed the ground that I have tied their stems several times. It gets so windy sometimes. I'm posting lots of these sunflowers because it wont be long until all these sunflowers are withered. It wont be looking that nice or pretty. Sunflowers gonna be looking old and worn out and what we will get from them are nutseeds for snacks or for  re-planting.

Posting too much sunflowers? Why not? Plant your own sunflowers and find out for yourself if you have enough patience to look after such helianthus plant. It's a helluviah kind of flowers. It's HELianthus.

Have you seen some blogwriters posting only the surfers and the waves of the ocean for years and years? That's okay. Nothing's wrong with that.  Others only posted birds for the long duration of ten years. ONLY BIRDS! While other blogwriters only posted FOOD nothing else. If you are annoyed or you find my blogs very annoying you should just move on and find another blog to read. It's like watching TV show when it becomes redundant, over and over again just like the news of the same kind of old hoard news then change channels, just simple as that. Heard of that annoying and redundant news reporter saying words "over and over again with a thick accent?"  I don't know where she came from or what is her original language. Not that I am being prejudice but her nature of reporting is somewhat very, very annoying and she is on TV. Right there, I turned off my television. She should change her career. Then there's this very annoying sportscaster who keep mentioning his favorite baseball player when that player is not even in the game or nor he is in the other team. Why? Is he cheating or something or being paid by mentioning his name on TV?

I can be very, very, very annoying too. Very, that's why we have lots of berries at the yard such as: loganberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, redberries, huckleberries and mind you we don't have beri-beri. Thank God!

We at BLOGGERS tend to blog of what make us happy. Flowers, garden, ideas, opinions, arts, economy, movies, tv series, education, science anything that can benefit the writer not the readers supposedly it's according to the author of blogs. Blogs are not meant to satisfy the needs and whims of readers. Create your own blog if you're not satisfy with reading other people's blogs. Maybe you have a lot to contribute and maybe you have more ideas and opinions so blog on your own comfort zone. If you copied from my blogs make sure you mention my name or else somebody can report your nasty attitude of copying from my blogs. I know. I have a third eye you know...

Who Knows. Who Knew?

I cleaned the dining table and cleared of all the books, documents, staplers (3 of those staplers in black, pink, grey colors). Agenda books out, coffee mugs out, all what's left on the dining table are the laptops: 3 of them). Three laptops, we don't use it everyday or one laptop use per day. If I'm not using my laptop have to unhook it from the socket. Plug the cord only when in use. It's good to be thrifty. Electricity is very expensive. I was about to set my sewing machine and starts with my new project then suddenly alarms were heard. Siren...loud siren at the highway. What could be happening? Emergency alert? road accidents again? Then all of a sudden, the lights were off, computer's down and there was this stillness of peace and quiet. My son Justin came out from his room, quietly he came to the kitchen not saying a thing and opened the fridge and got something to drink. Then my daughter came out from her bedroom and was a bit quiet and restless not saying a thing. I think there was a power outage. Blackout! Why?

The weather is cooler at about 19 degrees Celsius. It's not hot outside. However 19 degrees C.  is not that really cold. There must be something wrong with the thermostat or the gadget for weather temperature inside/outside. Anyway, my son Justin tutored his sister on her computer. Justin learned computer programming and computer animation and graphic arts in schools. Mostly creative arts.

A one hour blackout feels uncomfortable eh? Especially if there's no storm and no calamity. What could be the cause of power outage? is that sort of a test? Do you have generators?

We have generator but that was old already. Maybe it's better to invest a new generator just in case. Autumn starts on September 23, 2019 and I think Fall will start earlier than what previously forecast.
Fall & Winter time is what families in Canada usually have to think about. It is costly to live in Canada because of these two coldest seasons. You've got to have  stocks of non-perishable food, emergency kit (medical kit, flashlights, gasoline, matches, candles, firewood, gas stove, sleeping bags, tents, sleeping bags, can openers, radio, batteries, ax, gas powered power tools, hunting knives, snowblower, snow plow, shovels, snow suits and winter jackets, thermal sweaters, winter boots,  thermal socks and gloves and toques + not to forget clean/safe bottled water). Most important investment is a 4x4 truck with reliable snow tires. A heavy, durable brand new 4 snow tires are costly $ 2,500- $4,000. How much is a generator? The cheapest, smallest  generator is probably $150. Who knows?

The power outage during the last winter storm caused hydro to shut off its power to 150,000 homes in B.C. That, it's better to  always be prepared.

School starts on September 3, 2019 after Labor Day. Prepare your kids this coming school year and hope they learn so much from their teachers. For College students? It's okay to be accompanied by your father or mother for the enrollment. Nothing's wrong with that. I think it's good for the educators to know your parents to have better understanding of students who are registered to join their ranks. On being independent, it is when you have to apply for work that you don't need the companionship of your parents. Work is when you have that independence that what you are doing is according to your own skills and conscience.

Changing Colors Has Something To Do With The Time & Temperature

Starts getting cold early morning. I think Autumn will begin early than anticipated. Yeah! I love the cooler breeze actually and the air is fresh not muggy or sweaty. I felt better when the weather temperature is cold. It was 10 degrees Celsius only last night.

Ha ha! I love my fridge!

 Yup, first thing in the morning, a cup of hot coffee and fresh milk. Toasted bagels with butter on it and that's my simple breakfast.

A visit to my garden. The cabbages are growing big despite of its nasty visitors of cabbage moths. The tomatoes are ripe and falling on the ground. Some already had fallen actually. Some of which were picked from the branches and added to our viands.

Oh, that largest sunflower (head) we had at the garden, 19 inches to be exact and its seeds so heavy that it droops down like as if its a shower head. I love the color of the turquoise sky in the early morning.

 Pretty sunflowers on clear blue sky

The color of the sky changes as time goes by.

Coffee Or Tea

I woke up at 5 am this morning and first thing in the morning I've got to have my hot, fresh coffee. We have the best coffee ever but when I opened the fridge... no milk!? OMG! I need fresh milk for my coffee!!!!!!!

The last drop of milk was consumed by my darling daughter who up to now drinks one glass of milk before bedtime. One gallon of milk lasted only for 4 days. To think that I have plan of  doing some baking today.

I looked out of the window to see if the neighboring store is open but nope. It's closed and will be opened at 7 am. omg! wth.

What to do now? Just drink hot tea instead? No need for milk, no need sugar. Just plaint hot simmering tea. Oh no! Tea is not my cup of coffee for Thursday morning. Husband said he will buy gallon of milk at Seven-Eleven instead. K that's good idea.

I could wait, no problem. Just like my husband who was waiting at the workplace when suddenly the hydro (electric) had power outage. How can you use power tools? Carpenter's and cleaning tools nowadays are powered by electricity and without electricity then you can't do the work. Most of all how you can see properly what you are doing when the lights are off? Generator? Wow! Would you like to use generator to power your tools? Expensive to use gas in generators and it would create loud noises and neighbors would probably file complaints. Generators are used in Canada when power outages happened due to snowstorm and other calamities. No calamity at the workplace. I think the tenant moved out and hydro was cut off. It should be back to normalcy within just a phone call away.

I remember when blackout happened most of the time in urban community in the 70's; we lived closer to the hospital. When the power outage happened suddenly and automatically the generator was on, the power surge and the very loud noise can be very alarming. Very loud, very noisy. Very, very annoying but hospitals should always be in control that they have electric power or else their gadgets to save lives will be in jeopardy.

Divorce Happened

I didn't even know that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth got married and recently they were reported as DIVORCEd! Really?

 Sometimes, it's hard to believe gossips and rumors especially if you don't know them (Miley & Liam) personally.

Truth is,  I don't know much of those celebrities inside out, just happened to watch news about them on Entertainment Tonight and Etalk.

Divorce can happen to anybody. It's a moving forward to uncertainties and obstacles to a bleak future. Others can accept them with open arms as fast as they could move on in a brighter, lighter way and others can't cope up especially if couples who divorced have kids. There will be litigations, court issues, non-stop malicious dirty, filthy dramas. It would be a psychological and emotional trauma accompanied with financial trauma of course. It would always be a blame game. A one minute to one hour session with a divorce lawyer is costly. You will end up at least paying $10,000 per week to have lawyer at your service. And you wonder why it's better to be a lawyer. It's the best occupation ever.

To the most happiest divorce news? Marrying the lawyer (if he is single) is the best option. LOL.

Don't fake IT

Have you been invited to a wedding? There are many do's and don'ts at the wedding ceremony and wedding reception. The ethics and formal etiquette that invited guests and entourage must abide.

Honestly, if I were you better bring your own camera or cellphone with your camera and take pictures of yourself or your group of invited guest. Simply because you wont be in the picture no matter what because the aim and duty of wedding photographer is solely focused on the bride and groom for the whole duration of the ceremony at the church and reception. You'll be lucky if you are included in the photo ops if you are beside the groom or the bride at the time when the camera grinds.

Bring your own camera and photographer so that you'll have your own photos otherwise you wont be included as if you are ignored during that occasion. I don't mind being ignored anyway when the wedding is such a bore. Most boring, fake ceremony ever!!!!! Ha ha Total drama island.

For the bride and groom who can't get enough of photos and videos should just get married and do not invite any guests just their own families and bridal entourage's good enough.  Don't invite guests. Really no hurt feelings. You want gifts from your hundred guests? Oh those gifts??? My God! Why don't you just tell them what to give you? Be honest that you want CASH instead not any other kind of gifts. Monies! Just tell them truthfully that it's a CASH WEDDING GIFTS ONLY! Tell them if its in US$ account or C$ and no peso account required. Meso gusto mo?

Really, just don't invite guests. You don't need guests at your wedding. Just get married and ask your parents (groom's parents and bride's parents) to do the honor for the wedding ceremony. Honestly, that's all what it takes. Don't be a show-off! We don't need plasticity when it comes to wedding ceremony. Duh. Your grudge is getting longer than the Nile River. WTF!!!!!

Just don't fake it!

Sunflower Again?

 I think not allowed being political in my blog so better just have an option to annoy some people of blogposting sunflowers. Maybe it will brighten their day. The photo above is the biggest sunflower we have at the garden as of now. The size is 16" across the stem. It might expand its size when the seeds on its floret disc reaches maturity.

 There you are in another angle. Clear sky as the background of this stunning golden yellow flower.
Close to being yellow-orange in color.

We woke up one day to be amazed of another sunflower in a different hue on its center. Dark floret disc. What happened? That sunflower on the left side is the only flower among the group of sunflowers with a unique hue on its center. I wonder why. What a sudden mix-up. Just look at them there facing in different direction. I don't know what's in their minds. Sunflowers facing the East, others facing the West and one facing the North and another facing the South. They are not the kind of sunflowers in the field with one goal in mind. These sunflowers are smarter? Or just that each sunflower has a mind of its own. Yeah, just like the angels in my background themeplate of my blog. Have you ever notice the angels surrounding my blog?

Wishing the weather temperature starts falling to lesser degree. The suffocating heat is very, very annoying and that maybe one of the causes of humans always in conflict with each other. Headaches and migraines can put everyone in troubles. Troubles go away and don't come  back. Stay away from all the troubles and be safe.

Happy Sunday peeps!

Life In The Fast Lane

When I don't know what I'm doing, somebody else's does. However, their sarcastic way of correcting somebody else's mistake is not over the top. Why? They are not perfect! They have millions upon millions of mistakes and their errors are horrible. Ha ha ha! If you know what I mean. The point is I am not mad nor angry about such indirect insult. She or her group of  socialites should look at the mirror and find that out what she and her group are always asking. Yeah face the mirror, face it before you judge other people. Maybe you can judge yourself first and find fault at yourself first. Okay?

Now before my awesome morning becomes a dull morning better think of something else.

The weather temperature today is 16 degrees C. outside and 24 d.C. inside the house. I had my first load of laundry first thing in the morning. Had a piece of bagel with butter and a cup of hot brewed coffee. I don't like the taste of the coffee that my husband bought yesterday. It is quite strong. The kind of coffee that you can use for ink (printing) yuck! Maybe that will stop me from drinking too much coffee. Well, don't need to become black & white and read all over.

So it's gloomy outside and it coincides with the news on TV. Hong Kong is in a lot of turmoils and will affect their economy.  Hong Kong was once the most beautiful, peaceful, clean and order small island in Asia. After the "Handover" to China life in HK is particularly a headache for most Asians and multinationals. It was peaceful and in order before so to add stricter rules would be "communism at its finest." For those who love the art of war and Martial Law and rigid, stricter law then they would like that kind of control. Who benefit such control? Of course the Government and the people who work for the Government and law enforcers. Who's above the law? What's happening in HK is just a matter of what happened in Philippines in 1975. Cyclical. Read Economic books to better understand the economic and political implication.

Martial Law during the Marcos era was actually a blessing in disguise. Philippines could have been "the United States of America" if former Pres. Marcos was not taken by force to Hawaii. Oopssi...Hawaii is in USA.  I think age is the factor in good governance and because Pres. Marcos was seriously ill and too old to govern so what really happened was a sense of  structural damage control. Whatever.

Are you keen observer of your surrounding? The tent caterpillars are back! It seems that every tree along the roads has been  infested of those tent caterpillars. It happened not per year but every after 4 years?

The shroud looks like ghost hanging on trees and I shoot one of those "ghosts." That's right, it's the tent caterpillars in it.

Why Always Think About What to Cook?

I don't know what to cook today. You know what, last night when I watched the Masterchef episode on TV, when out of the blue, the cooks experimented on wild boar sausages. Really? Boar? Why? Running on empty on ideas?

Well, at least it's not crocodile or alligators they are experimenting on "food."
In Australia, kangaroo meat are in demand for burgers. Nowadays, when food is the most sought after because humans must eat 3x a day. Billions of human population so what is available for human consumption?

Who knows what could be on "sausages." Nobody really knows what are the ingredients in sausages except that we all know that they are combination of different meat products and spices.

Turning vegans are one of the options in abstaining meat products. Or produce more meat products by raising more farm animals and consumption of fish and shellfish should be introduced to meat lovers. Plant more leafy vegetables. Eat more veggies and fruits and wheat products.

Not long ago when water buffallo and carabaos are in millions now they are almost extinct like the dodos. I hope cattle and cows wont go extinct because its the main source of  milk (calcium), iron and protein and so as the pigs. The population of chicken should also be watched for its the source of  poultry products especially eggs. We used too much eggs in baking and cooking. Hmm, do I have to bake again? Maybe I should.

The economy is run by  the benevolence of cooks, butchers, bakers, farmers, traders, buyers and sellers and winers. lol. Humans think about food all the time. That's why the clock is also allocated to the time when it's time to eat and wine. There is that happy hour everyday. Food is likened to gas that fuels motors to run and function. If you know what I mean. The consumption of food is needed for human body to function straight to give the human body the strength and the mind to think as humanely, rational and purposely as possible. Without those food for growth, for the strength and enriching your mind, body and soul to think then it's a hopeless case.

TGIF. Thank God It's Friday!

Latest Catch

 Husband's latest catch is a 31" chinook salmon. He asked me if the salmon is male or female.
 I quickly answered it's a female salmon.

 OMG! I'm right! Correct!! Look at those hundreds of eggs.

Fillet of fish. Soon to be sealed for the next meals to come.

F O O D

 My kind of supper: 1 cup of steamed rice, a piece of panfried salmon with sweet chili sauce, fresh vegetable salad covered with dill dressing.

Got to measure rice because I want to lessen my carbohydrate intake.

 Microwaved-grilled chicken breast with lemon juice and spices, panfried potatoes, steamed rice, vegetable salad for my kids and husband who was at the time still working on renovation.

Husband went fishing after renovation was done,  with brother-in-law, my niece and her husband and they caught these salmons (photo above). Lot of pinks. Seems like anchovies and herrings are great baits.

What We Cannot Understand Becomes The Unknown

To make it short and not waste time and energy... the UNKNOWNS are things, events and people we cannot understand and comprehend.

There were so many anonymous during the 18th Century, through the Dark Ages. Everything seems dark and aged. Chivalry and obscure fear of anything to the unknowns is a known fact.

When only few can understand because of the SECRET PACT, functions  and factions. When too many millions of uneducated and illiterates. When once upon a time there were only few educated and privilege.

The unknowns became knowns now simply because of literacy is now an advocacy. Education is the key factor that makes you knowledgeable. There maybe a faction for the "know-nothings" up to now as if they are guilty of hiding the secret. Secrecy hundred years ago are by-product of lack of education and language barrier. There are no more secret nowadays except that of Secret deodorant you are using for your armpit.

Fear Of the Unknowns

I wish some people are blogging everyday. It is kind of lonely and boring not to read anything from the Blogworld or BlogUniverse.

What's fascinating about BLOGS you may ask me that everyday. Reading blogs especially personal blogs are almost honest and truthful basically daily lives of blogwriters. What's keeping us busy and what make us unite in blogging. Better than yapping and better than gossiping and wasting saliva out there. Yeah, why not we keep on talking and converse so that we can practice our speech. So that we can practice to use our grammar correctly and pronounce the correct words for its tone, intonation, accent (even english-speaking entities have accent some are so strong as if they capitalize on its strength, lol)  and not to mispronounce certain words such as "desk," disc, this, that, what for wat not a twat. Yeah, that proverbial desk. If you as a teacher mispronounce the desk word because actually not originally an English word (it's Swedish/Japanese word in origin as in "sodesca ne). Ov for of. I wish some people are not deaf or hard of hearing and hate to say that some of you are bilinguals and multilinguals and understanding some concept would be "lost in translation." I hope we all knew that eh? Need no further explanation.

What I love to read from others are the same with what I'm blogging. We have certain common traits about the art of cooking, baking, gardening, writing, reading books and interesting movies and television series. It is what it is as keeping our hands busy most of the time. Typing makes our hands busy with the keyboard. It's beyond being crafty.

I would like to travel and shoot gorgeous scenes and panoramic views along the way however, my husband loves to get out of the house most of the time and likes to shop so he is always at the point of traveling while me and my twins stayed at home. The twins are almost possessed by computers. That's what they learned from "high tech schools." Whew! Am I right? HIGH TECHNOLOGY. in schools. We don't have that in the '70's and '80's.

Anyway, what makes us happy? We don't need to have a long list of what makes us happy and search and find out what will keep us happy as a pursuit to happiness. Duh. You don't travel long miles in search for happiness. Blogging makes me happy. Reading other people's blogs make me happy and laughed if their wit and humor matched mine. Seriously, I first thought there are millions of blog writers in the internet but only few that resonates with "wholesome, pleasing and honest." That I can understand because internet is such a huge, wide sense of being lost to the intergalactic data of information." Several info might fall apart if we don't keep them and store in proper places. As what I read with another blogger about the unknowns...The fear of the unknowns. The fear of the unknown is to know the unknown so that it will be known. lol. j/k yeah, simple as that.

Now, are you really looking for the best thesis about "psychology?" What the hell? Visit the nearest mental hospital or clinic. Watch SIXTH SENSE & GLASS. Visit the Correctional.

I once accompanied my friend who was a BS Psychology major ( that was 34 years ago) and because the making of a thesis would be paying a visit to certain places where no one has ever been there...ha ha ha, she needs a companion for the interview. She will do the interview of those patients and I am the bodyguard willing to use my karate chops. WTH! No, I'm just kidding you.  Truth is it's not a laughing matter when you have to visit asylums and mental hospitals. Have you seen the movie SILENCE OF THE LAMBS? Jodie Foster as Clarisse is an FBI Agent not a psychologist, not a psychiatrist had a visit with the cannibal Hannibal Lecter in prison and he had given her a lecture on trust. What is the implication of being a psychologist? You are dealing with humans with certain limitations and or humans with limitless. It's either of the two adjectives. In short,  you want to be a psychologist or psychiatrist be willing to be smarter than your patient. Or let it be known that you can read their minds too.

Reading how the market will change and how the economy will thrive for the longest period of time? There, my best option to have ECONOMICS instead of Psychology.

Sunflowers & More Flowers

What will it look when those sunflowers seeds are planted in the correct spacing of 24 inches, instead of having them planted 5 inches apart? It wont be as good as this on picture. Gap is too wide for 2 ft. spacing from each other. There's not enough space for 100 sunflower seedlings.

Those sunflowers are planted for certain purpose and aim I want to or wished before.  If your sunflowers are bigger or larger than my sunflowers then that's good. It's not a matter of contest if the sunflower seedlings came from the seedlings I had. If I will have to plant sunflowers again? I wont follow the 2 ft. space gap. Maybe if I have 5 acre field and use those sunflowers as maze, why not. Sunflowers are not corn, zea maize...definitely not for rats.

Sometimes following directions only served purpose in schools, at the workplace but if you are at home and you are the gardener and you know how those sunflowers yield as it was exactly been experimented before and the outcome was printed at the back of the sunflower sachet/pocket. When you know already what will happen. To know the unexpected is something we have to know.

Planting sunflowers on not so fertile soil with gravels and grass without fish compost. Plants planted on incorrect spacing, will the sunflowers yield? Not giving enough liquid fertilizer of not enough water do you think sunflowers will yield? No sunshine? There's plenty of water and sunshine. I followed the use of fertilizer not to overuse it.  Actually used fertilizer once in 2 weeks. Maybe other people used fertilizer twice per week. Plant food? It depends.

Think of humans who are not helped. Think of humans without getting the basic necessities to grow and nobody else to turn to. Think of some humans without getting anything from anybody. Think of people without life support.

Did the sunflowers grew up to 10 ft. not 12 ft. tall in height? Did the sunflowers yield and blossomed beautiful flowers the size of 14 inches in size across the stem? The stems of the sunflowers in the pictures are just 2-3 inches thick not as fat as other sunflower's stem. Do the sunflowers look healthy even if its not tall enough? 12 ft. tall sunflowers are good enough. They don't need to have a spacing of 2 ft. just because it is stated in the sachet. Do I want a 14 inches size flower? No. I want to have sunflowers with sunflower that I can photograph for my collection of flowers. Obsession with different species of flowers is just a matter of passing time, killing time and to keep busy. Nothing's wrong with gardening if the yield is brighter and the photographs end up so great. Just like that, no pressure, no stress. If its an added valued pressure then the hell with it. Time to plant another floral that will give me satisfaction for my photography.

Let me tell you it's just FLOWERS. I didn't mean to have a contest on stress and pressure. So, chill. 

MORE FLOWERS!!

Are You Reading My Blog?

Only 15 degrees C. today. Looks like early Autumn is upon us which is good of course. I love Autumn season because it's cooler and the foliage is beautiful and stunning. Can't wait.

Right now, having loads of laundry. My son Cade waited for the laundry basket to have full of his dirty clothes and towels. He used so many bath towels. I'm glad we have at least 30 bath towels inside the cabinet. Actually total of 32 bathtowels. Every year have to buy two bath towels however this year I stopped from doing so. I think that's the usual gift for any type of showers bridal shower or baby shower and birthdays. Yeah, you should take bath everyday. Bathe twice a day on hot summer days. Shower once a day at winter time. Well it depends on your personality on how you bathe and what good grooming means to you. I have that kind of water solitude that I get cranky without water. I can't live without water. Wishing we have an infinity swimming pool or least live at the bank of the lake.

It's only August 10, 2019 and Fall season is on September 23, 2019. The sudden change of weather temperature probably looms a heavy storm.

I hope the storm wont destroy my sunflowers. The first storm of August had toppled at least two of the sunflower stems and now leaning down on the ground. Some of the plants had them tied with strings looped around them and tied to the fence. The sunflowers are now more than 11 ft. tall in height. While the tallest over the roof is probably 14 ft. high. With the strong winds and a possible storm? I don't know what will happen to them that's why I already had several pictures of those sunflowers and photo ops with my daughter beside the sunflower with big flower side by side with our face. It would be nice if all sunflowers bloom all at once but no. Sunflowers tend to bloom at different time and day from each other. When one sunflower withers then another flower blooms. The radiance and majestic sunflowers made me wake up everyday feeling happy and energetic. They are amazing plants.

I have a digital camera and 100 GB photo memory card so why I not take advantage of this. Besides, I planted those sunflowers for this moment and the chance for my daughter to practice her talent in photography. She studied photography in school so why not eh? Practice makes perfect.

Some people think about the negativity but they don't think about positivity. There are more benefit in photography especially if that's a talent and a hobby for most photographers. It's better to use owned photographs rather than taking or using somebody else's photos in blogging. Narcissistic attitude? I don't have it. Over confident individuals who brag all the time probably are narcissistic and in blogging who we are to talk to here but ourselves? A blog is a personal diary and if you happen to reading it then who are you? Lurker? Stalker? OMG!

Blogging is first and foremost a form of entertainment.

Computers Vs Instagram Cellphone Apps

It seems to me that not too many are using computers when using facebook. They are happy using the instagram an app on their cellphones.

Users using instagrams app or anybody using cellphone and tablets do not really have a complete, comprehensive access to the internet. They are limited on what they can see and how far their gadget can roam within internet portal. The GB  of their cellphone and tablet is also low and slow that it's impossible for us to chat and mingle. Mingle? sounds like chinese eh?

Computers, laptops and notebooks are getting expensive, too costly for most of us. The electricity and internet connection a plus of the utilities imposed.

If you are wondering why I stayed most of the time on Google it's because my blogger friends have access to computers. I don't have cellphone so my coverage using computer is wider. Extends to limitless,  I can see almost anything and I can see the hackers too. lol

Salaries Of Painters & Carpenters

Thanks indeed for this very  important information.

My husband is a highly skilled carpenter and house-painter but he never receive this kind of salary as stated above. Don't tell me my husband is being taken advantage?

Anyway, it's been a while now that something is wrong with our bathtub (or bath tub) can't drain properly or it is very slow in draining the water whenever we have a shower. Problem at first was the hair get stuck there and we already had solved the problem every time, hair getting stuck in the drain has an easy remedy or solution. Lately, it gets worse. It's not the hair problem anymore something is wrong with the drainage or sewer. I think that's an old problem with old bathrooms and old houses. (Houses built  more than 20 to 50 years ago would have problem with sewer, drainage and plumbing)  To call a plumber to do that kind of job about bath tub drainhole would cost $26/hour to $59/hour. On Sundays and Holidays, the wage would be over that amount of $59, maybe the plumber will fix it for $75. On Holidays, any worker who works on Holiday is paid double wage per hour. So a plumber receives $118/hour on Holiday. So for the plumber to install the pipe line outside our house would take time after Civic Holiday.

Everything that gets haywire inside the house my husband Lorne fixed it. I don't know if we can reimburse the cost to the  owner of the house. However, anything about the appliances that we owned and if gets haywire then it's us who pays for it. Remember the washer or washing machine that we had the technician fixed it for $120. The machine didn't work or function right though. We replaced it with a second hand washing machine from Rick's.

When tenants in townhouses and apartments called my husband to fix something I don't think he's paid for $59/hour. An apartment/townhouse manager salary is fixed.  So, unfortunately he is not making enough.

Something has to change. Simply a good working honest man should be paid the right wage. To never take advantage of good workers. They have THE RIGHTS. They have rights just like anybody else.

Gender Issue

It was combination of hot, cold, warm, cool temperature and then periods of showers this morning. I first thought there's a storm but it was just heavy rainfall for just less than an hour. That's it? Now the ground is dry again because sunshine shines so bright afterwards.

Yesterday, a foggy atmosphere linger after sunset and after all windows and doors closed down and as we watched the season finale of "The Bachelorette." Too bad! Hanna B.'s probably upset of what happened to her when she found out that Jed is not the ideal man for her. Whatever! It's true that you should not date many men at one time it's like deception of some kind and it's almost like a game. However, nobody's a virgin in that show except for that "one virgin Colton in the Bachelor series."
Then all of a sudden you have that Love In Paradise show and the rest of those eliminated bachelors and bachelorettes extended their courtship in Mexico. It's a very different way of courtship, the western style.

 I'm not being a hypocrite here it's just that...  kind of new trend or this is what "harem looks like?" Or it is likened to the nature of bees. The queen bee has to gather the drones to her bedside so that she can produce the next queen bee.

There must be a reason why this kind of trend is going on even at the height of many television shows because at least the females are becoming the aggressors or the aggressive group or else their number one enemies are the homos. Believe that the population of female in this generation is higher and the male population is low and the rate is  5 females to 1 male (or probably 10 women for 1 man ratio) then you have to compete with gay people or trans. the competition is similar to finding employment perse. If you have ten girls who had crush on one specific boy in school what could be the determining factor that one out of ten, the boy will fall in love with one girl from out of ten? What if that boy falls in love with another boy? That's the conflict nowadays. It's the same with a very pretty girl who would have problem choosing  a boy in school because she would have to know first if the boy is a real boy or member of LGBTQ or semi. Who knows? God knows. Duh, not my problem.

Why Many Couples In Canada Are Planning On Having One Child Only Policy?

Truth is with the high standard of living in Canada nobody really wants to have a family of their own. However, when love gets in the way and couples got married and start a family they have that option to be "just couples without the need to have kids." Or just one kid policy. Why? HARD LIFE.

If both parents are working and the baby needs a daycare or babysitter, be preferred to pay the babysitter the amount you are to receive from your daily wage. You worked for minimum wage and you have to pay the babysitter the wage you are earning. So, why work? Better to attend to your own kids and let the husband works. Unless of course if you are earning income just like what politicians received per month or per annum.

Couples who do not have kids tend to focus on their works and live the good life,  having to live in mansions and options to travel the world whenever they want, no hassles whatsoever. The lives of socialites and financially endowed couples. Wow!

Sometimes, that's not the case. Many couples don't really get the blessings of having babies no matter how hard they tried. I wonder why. Actually there are many factors why some couples can't have offspring. Too many hundred reasons why.

This topic is very sensitive to tackle with because it might trigger unhappiness and hatred. So let us just go on with our lives. To never, ever ask couples of why and when.

Chill and be happy no matter what.
