I Don't Like Canada Being Bullied By Other Countries When It Comes To Climate Change

The EFFECT OF CLIMATE ACTION PLAN imposed and planned by foreigners to Canada from 1989 to 2000 and beyond


1. Pulp mills shutdown and closed.
2. Saw mills closed down, shutdown for good.
3. Factories shutdown, closed down
4. Smoke belching vehicles gone and dumped
5. Industrial mining closed down
6. Anything that is causing smoke and leaving carbon footprints and emitting carbon in the air
were forced to close and shutdown, if not eradicated.

CAUSE & EFFECT of CLIMATE CHANGE imposed by foreigners to Canada lead to:

1. Mass unemployment
2. Poverty
3. Influx of supposedly "highly skilled immigrants." Who end up welfare recipients.
4. Divorce, dysfunctional families
5. Migration to other countries for employment
6. Infiltration
7. Unknowns

There are good things that come out from this climate change. It offered opportunity for new immigrants and refugees. It's more like iViking. Who are the pirates?

I've been living in Canada for the past 27 years and Canada is the cleanest and safest country in the world. If you want to have that climate change protest and rally you should do it in countries where pollution is rampant and uncontrollable. No one has the right mind to bully another country but make sure you don't do it to a country who tolerate your ignorance. There are certain consequences to manipulative behaviour. Look at your own grounds in your own countries. Before you judge Canada when it comes to climate look at yourself first in the mirror.

That AHA Moment

Only 10 degrees Celsius today. 21 degrees Celsius inside our home. It's cold of course outside, warmer inside the house even without turning on the heater.

Today is the CLIMATE ACTION protest and rallies everywhere in Canada. Climate Change is what they are rallying and protesting about. What climate change they want at Fall?

The students should know what they are protesting and rallying about. They should be knowledgeable about this public protest. All these protests will hurt you and everyone in the end. Listen to the most experienced and the experts with lots of experience.

Climate change. What changes you want to happen? To change Fall with Summer? To change Winter with Spring? Have you seen the movie GEOSTORMS? Teachers should let their students watch this sci-fi movie first to better understand climate change.

Canada has 4 seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Three (3) months for every season (4) for the whole complete year.  The climate change in the past was administered by Einstein through his experiment. Already. Done. DONE, done, done, dalandan!

To have 6 months of summer in Canada? It would be uncontrollable wildfire everywhere. Forests will be destroyed and turned into ashes. Six months of winter would mean the Cold War. Again? Why students such as those who were in protest would like the COLD WAR? Do you really like WAR? Why?

Why 4 seasons? Instead of just the dry and wet season as most Asian countries have to manage and control? Canada is located in the Northern part of the Globe. The North Pole is the coldest region of the Earth and that part has iceberg. Supposedly, North Pole's iceberg should not melt but there are scientific explorations there so there are probably lots of actions there or it's just that it's really getting warmer because the earth is getting old. I don't know what's happening in the North Pole as of this time. Do you know? Is the North Pole the Moon we thought can't be reached by humans?

Oh, how about this story of the South Pole was once the Saharan desert? I think read that from an old book. What happened to the East and West? East and Western hemisphere where the sun shines and where the sun sets in. The hemisphere is the imaginary line of the sun's rotation to earth's axis. How could that be? it should be the earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun. Uhm, weird, so weird right? Okay that's EVIL.

Truth is the earth is much, much better in our generation today than hundred years ago. In the 1900's the sky is darker , it would be difficult for humans to see the blue sky and the fog was thicker like pea soup. The people are darker in skin color because of the usage of coal in industrial usage from locomotives and other industrial machines. The water was severely polluted and people were afraid to drink water and  bathe because of such dark, filthy pollution. Coal is dirty. The mining of coal was seriously environmental hazards during World war I and II. At least somebody was so intelligent enough to invent chlorine and that's how and why we have humans with whiter skin. Thanks Madam Curie for your invention. OMG! I think students should learn about Chemistry and Bio-Chemistry.

Definitely this info is not a secret. You really have to study and learn from books approved by Congress.

Being used by evil wrongdoers is the worst thing that could happen to you.When it's wrong it's wrong. You have given by God the mind to think, so use it wisely.

Tagging Along

Officially, it's Autumn. Hurricanes, storms, windstorms had come and gone and another impending inclement weather about to come... when will it stop?

I already made a water repellant cover for the patio chairs. We wont be sitting outside like it used to be during the summer time. It's getting cold outside. It's only 11 degrees C. today but 22 degrees C. inside the house. 22 is hot! My daughter and I have to use electric fan and open the window because thw fan is not enough. The heating insulation inside the house is really thick, houses built in Canada can withstand -zero degree in temperature at winter.

I already made tags for dahlia tubers, in advance. We haven't taken out or haven't pulled the dahlia plants because as of now they are still blooming healthy flowers. So many tubers for tagging. I will tag them by their colors, the colors of their respective flowers. I want to re-arrange them in the garden by their color of order and appearance.

Do you like being tagged? Or labeled? I hope not.

Anyway, tagging along in Facebook seems a dominant factor in knowing who's your closest friend or nearest relatives. That's what it is for. Other than that is dunno the implications.

The Fallen

Haven't fallen yet?
The leaves are turning its colors from green to yellow,
from yellow to orange,
 orange to red...

Turn around...

If you haven't fallen yet, maybe you are not human
Probably you are just a spirit
You are without a body, no flesh,
no shadow, no conscience, nothing

Maybe you are an angel. What?
Lucifer is an angel
who had fallen from heaven to earth

Who hasn't had a fall?
fallen maybe pollen

The trees had fallen, timber

The bushes had fallen.
And so as the water
gravity

Buildings had fallen due to earthquake
 and other calamities
including at the time of war

People had fallen.

If you had fallen and stood up after
 and able to walk away from pain and ridicule

You are as triumphant stronger and courageous
 than the very concrete foundation
 you are standing right now.

Blackface Issue

Blackface issue is probably a public outcry.

His hands are tied and bounded by the system he protects.

It's a social dilemma and he can't do anything about it.

His white privilege has been taken away from him.

period.

Getting Old, Growing Old Is Mandatory

The weather is nice today as in sunny and no more rain, thank God! It was foggy for quite sometime early morning which is normal during Fall season. You know that kind of sleepy hallow effect. If you are a witchy witch you'll probably like that kind of creepy atmosphere. Or those humans and animals left to roam around who love the dark side.

I would like to continue my yard work outside and finish cutting those sunflowers' stems for yard waste and compost, however... my allergy is bothering me. I  didn't know that I have allergy or allergic to oatmeal and  shea butter until I had a bath yesterday and used such unique body wash. Smells good. OMG! Itchy kind of feeling. I first thought that special formula is good for my skin. No. Nope, it's not that great. It's not really good.

The hazards of growing old as in growing pains. Getting old is inevitable and sometimes evil or something is very evil and wicked, terrifying and mandatory. Growing old is mandatory and so as good grooming is mandatory even for oldies. Hairdyeing is part of good grooming. That too can be bothersome. Allergic reactions.

I had my afternoon nap time and then woke up to prepare our family's dinner: spaghetti italian style with lots of tomato sauce and parmesan cheese plus toasted garlic bread.

After dinner and had cleaned the dishes, pans and utensils and cleaned the table , decided to continue cutting those sunflower plants outside. I forgot about my allergy. My husband helped cleared and cut those sunflowers stems using his pair of shears. The sturdy, almost hard as wood stems (or legs) are hard to cut. The stems are woody, as if its stalks of sugarcane. The inside part of those stems are so white in color as if its the innermost part of a cassava plant. Some stems are so thick (6" thick) and hairy. Then I started pulling out some small stems behind the dahlia plants when suddenly something bit my palm. OMG!!!!!!! It was so painful. I ran inside the house because I first thought there was a snake at the garden and  to find out what that stung my palm. It was just red and it hurt so bad.


 I washed my palm right away with lukewarm water and liquid soap. Then I wiped the bitten spot with alcohol on cotton swab.( I also applied antibiotic ointment just to make sure it wont get infected). When I lifted up the cotton with alcohol I saw two tiny spikes on my palm. Husband said those are stingers from the bee. After five minutes the pain subsides. Darn! Those bees are real dangerous. You know how painful the bees' bites? Let those bees bite your hand.

I know, that's too bad! Those sunflowers are their source of food for their colony and had them taken out. Dudes, beeswax, the sunflowers belong to me and I can take them out from the yard if I want to.  I wish those bees can understand the lives of human beings instead of always thinking about themselves. (ha ha, entomology). Good that I provided them source or supply of food for the long duration of spring and summer. It's almost autumn and what they provided for my family?
My daughter used to water the plants outside and suddenly she stopped being there at the backyard because of their visibility from day and night for 7 months. Yup, seven long months of free food. Those bees: bumble bees and honey bees and yellow jackets were the constant visitors at the garden and that's why no butterfly ever had a visit. So weird. Only the cabbage moths dare visit the garden and that's disappointing. I think butterflies are afraid of bees.

Bees are evil and wicked.

Yard Work, Work, Work )))

My husband and I started cleaning up the yard yesterday after the storm is over. We already had two bags of yard waste, mostly consist of those fallen sunflowers hardy stems, wide leaves and sunflower heads. I left some of the sunflowers left standing along the fence and tied them all together because it's not yet ready for them to be cut to pieces. Their flowers look amazing still pretty despite on the weather condition that we have leading to Autumn.



Many years ago, fallen leaves from maple trees, oak, and cherry blossoms were the constant and frequent leaves on the ground on our yard. Cleaning up the yard takes hours and hours and days to finish the task. Part of the problem is the wind, the rainfall, the storm, and not all leaves fall at once.

I also cut the thorny bushes of those wild berries beside the garden shed. I think they are blackberries, the wild ones.

The other blackberry vines in another part of the yard has no thorns.

I was surprised when my husband pulled out the tomato plants from the ground, they have tomato fruits hanging through its branches. He also pulled out some of the zucchini plants with 4 small zucchinis in it. ? At this time of the year, they are not good anymore so they will be part of the yard waste. What's left in the veggie garden are the two cabbages and few of those strawberry plants. The raspberry has few berries on its branches. The dahlias are still blooming freely and fresh flowers are in abundance especially the pink dahlias.

Thinking whether to just chop all the sunflowers stems and leaves and throw them in the waste bags when suddenly the rain has come back again to bug the awesome weather we had yesterday. I think it will rain until tonight and the weather forecast tomorrow would be brighter and truly amazing compared today. I hope so. Inclement weather is very depressing for most of us who would like to do gardening outside when its cooler.

Just when I feel like tending to the yard and then the uncooperative, inclement weather is the problem.
 I don't like wasting time, so I decided to clean our stove and performed some arts to keep me busy.

 Ha! You think only Vincent Van Gogh has the right touch!?

Now that the stove is clean and smooth... have to use the oven for pizza. Pizza for lunch with lots of cheese!

Whatever! Definitely You Have A Choice

Please don't mind me if my family doesn't dine in at restaurants or fastfood. We did however go and visit restaurants before (many years ago) and at the time when my children are younger and when they like burgers from Wendy's, A& W's, or McDonnalds. We used to dine in at Moxie's and my favourite order of their specials are the Italian fettuccine : seafood (mussels, shrimps, clams, scallops). While the members of my family ordered bbq spare ribs, Mexican tacos, chicken, beef steak,  salads and baked potatoes. Yeah, seemed like the delicious food I usually cooked at home. We sometimes dine in at a sushi cafe. Uhm, how many times? Maybe just 3x in 26 years.

Whatever available at restaurants I can cook them just like what those chefs are capable of cooking and even under pressure. I worked at restaurants before so I got the training I need.

YOU as a human being with lots of money to spend... go ahead and have your lunch and dinner at your fave restaurants. If you are just by yourself, leaving alone it's better to eat at fast foods and restaurants and pubs because it's cheaper. Maybe you are just a couple, it is economically better to dine in at restaurants than cooking at home. For a whole family to dine in at restaurants whether these places are ordinary or not, those high-end establishments  will simply emptied your wallet. Five to seven members of your family will eventually lead you paying hefty sum of money for dinner. $150-$200 for dinner including tip. Cocktails/wine not included.

Well it depends. You can dine in at resturants that offer brunch or buffet. You wonder why Chinese restaurants are full of patrons for buffet. Cheaper by the dozen.

However,  some well -to- do families often  dine in their fancy, famous, favourite restaurants/pub that they can rely and trust that their excellent service is at the most of their priority list that after gourmet food are consumed a big, courtesy tips are given to their polite, honest and couteous hardworking servers and cooks.

What People Want

Did you know that nobody help Canada in time of wildfire, flash floods and storms? Canada usually fixed its own mess after all the disaster and calamities. However, when other countries had troubles, typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes, famine, floods, war and other conflict...Canadians rushed out to make sure these countries get the help they needs in terms of relief effort: food supply, health & medical supply, including medics and health workers. Could it be that it's better to give than to receive?

Maybe. Maybe not.

What's the deal?

So the campaign rally is non-stop now after the parliament was dissolved by the Governor Gen. Payette (former Canadian astronaut). Rally here and there, coast to coast. Debates, interviews, photo ops with lots of people from different walks of life and touching and kissing babies and young children showing how gentle those candidates and showing priorities that they care about children and families.

What majority of people want?  I think youth advocates should give them the list of what's priorities.
Let the voters younger or olds give  them a long list.

1. Priority on Economics: Economic condition of a country affects everyone. The pursuit of happiness is based on good economy.

2. Employment. Make sure there's enough work for employable people with skills. To give mandatory training for workers with less skills so that they can be useful.

3. Education. FREE COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY EDUCATION for those who are naturally born in Canada. If Germany offers free College education to those who can speak their language, why not impose this on Canadians who can speak its language. Canada is richer than Philippines, why Philippines offer FREE College Education for its citizens and why Canada cannot? Prioritize Canadian born students to be accepted in College and University over foreign students. Do not be a racist to your own people when it comes to Education.

4. OJT or On The Job Training in High Schools (Grade 12) to better emphasize that Canadians should work and work is the best option to survive.

5. Health. It's true that Health Care is free for all low income families and for the unemployed. What else is needed to make sure that Canadians, permanent residents are healthy and being helped including the seniors whose medical supply (medicines) are costly and take away their life savings and pensions. Could be lower the cost of  medicines or preferably free medicare and supply for seniors age 65 and above? Did you know that $350/month supply of Hypertension drugs is very, very expensive and taking away a monthly supply of food?

6. Lower taxes: GST & PST. There's no tax on food. Thank God! However, 12% or 14% tax on anything, everything is TOO HIGH. Have you seen so many people shopping? I don't know where the people shop anymore.

7. Canada is the supplier of food, gas, oil and other work supplies around the world, do you think taxes should be eliminated? Just within Canada. You can impose tariffs too to other countries. Be kind to your own people. Lower the price of gas the best option.

8. Housing. If you can provide free housing for refugees, don't you think first priority should be FREE HOUSING FOR true, real Canadians? Oh, too many wealthy Canadians? So true and so untrue! Even Bill Gates and Trump have problems with their taxes so at least an affordable housing is required for every Canadians is much needed. Provide more houses for rent. To own houses is an option for millionaires who can change houses at a whim if they want during wildfires, floods and other calamities. For ordinary, working people...affordable rental housing is much needed. Hey, before the whole forest is consumed by wildfire and turned them into ashes and into ink.

9. Salary & Wages. Work with pay. Why volunteer when you can be paid for your work? Wage increase required especially in British Columbia.  $15/hour wage is the right minimum wage in today's standard of living. The price of gas is going up and the price of commodities are up, up and away therefore wage increase is necessary to upgrade the standard of living of every Canadians.

10. Utilities are high, so high you can reach the sky. Internet fee is high almost reaching Everest. Hydro is really HIGHdro. Why it's so high? No matter how thrifty some people are, but hydro is really super high. Lower the  consumption of water and electricity? What? Are you kidding me? During Fall and Winter? Please don't leave us in the COLD. We are not in the COLD WAR. That was a thing of the past and no one should experience such balmy, coldest war ever especially in Canada.

After The Storm

 I know that the result would be like this, above photo shows how those tall, skinny stems, sunflower plants with heavy sunflower heads will eventually lead to fallen sunflowers kissing the ground.

The wind is uncontrollable. Yeah, who's got the power?

Your History Is Not My History



And the wind blows mighty hard as ever! Looks like we have a storm last night and the continuation today... Signal number 2? I don't know how storms are categorized here in Canada.

Vancouver island is located in the Pacific ocean on the other side and the other side of the island  facing Discovery Passage. We don't receive much storms here. Storm instead of typhoon. Hurricanes in the Atlantic regions. While another terminology is used for the island within the Indian ocean, it's called "cyclone."

Canada will receive more of these low precipitation and pressures due to changing weather temperature and of course because it's the beginning of Fall on September 23, 2019.

While several blogwriters are getting busy with their prep for Halloween, others are busy preparing for Thanksgiving Day. There are upcoming big time events for Sports such as The Grey Cup (football) Championship, the Baseball Championship, and whoever you are rooting for? I don't know and I don't care. lol

Federal Election is soon to be the main event in October? There are few campaigns here and there as we saw the candidates on TV doing their usual photo ops, interviews, public appearances, their political strategies and whatever campaign slogans, advertisements, and whatever you want to know about your favorite candidate will be known through your TELEVISION and other sources of NEWS: Internet, Social Media, Radio and Newspapers, including political magazines. If you are a truly, loyal citizen of this country Canada you should be knowledgeable in the economic and political aspects of your country. Otherwise, if you don't know anything about your political candidates and whoever will run the government of Canada, you are at LOST. It's like being at LOST the television series. So you'd better make sure your votes are counted properly and be accounted for. Save your country! You have a country. You don't own United Nations. You should have a COUNTRY.
Be responsible and make CANADA a COUNTRY not a United Nations. Whatever!
Make Canada a country is an option.

You don't understand? OMG!
Are you aware of the movie of Star WARS?
Canada should be an independent country.
It must stand alone.
Can Canada stand alone without being bullied?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Am I being frank and mean about my reason to be very reasonably tough on this stand? You have to be very aware! Canadians, how rich are you? Did you ever provide enough for your kids? for your own kids? How's your kids education? Do they have College and University education? Do your kids struggle? Do your kids have College Education? What are they struggling about? Canadians are into poverty too. Canadian kids struggle when it comes to education. They don't receive enough help from the Government because the help is focused on third world countries. They would rather help poor countries and help their kids with their education, leaving Canadians struggling to make both ends meet. They let Canadians struggle in College. Unfair! Who should have College Education, the poorest of the poor or the kids in well developed countries who supplied food for the rest of the world? There is total bias and b.s. You can educate other countries and their people for FREE, supplying them free of food supply and have your Canadian citizens pay for their own education. Really unfair! Focus on Canadian citizens and let them have free education from Primary to College & University. If you can help other people from other countries why not start helping your own citizens. I don't know how trade is being established or what their deals are. But would it be nice if Canada offers FREE UNIVERSITY or COLLEGE EDUCATION for CITIZENS OF CANADA instead of helping other citizens outside of Canada? You should help your own people! It's the right thing to do. IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Be loyal to your own country and your own people.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you think Philippines is a country? How about Canada? Is Canada a country? Some people call Canada as a Nation. If Canada is still known as FIRST NATION, then you mean its the land of the Indigenous only? So, you mean CANADA is Philippines?  It's year 2019. It's not 18th Century. People evolve in  a way that make everyone civilized and educated. 2019.

Philippines was once a country dominated by Spain and Spaniards and Spanish friars until Americans liberated them from Spain. Americans stayed in the Philippines until they let them go only to be invaded by the Japanese. Americans came to the rescue once again through the help of Gen. Douglas McArthur. World War I & II happened within a span of 40 years. WAR on infrastructure, ethnic cleansing and what else could be generated in those old wars? Too many wars after wars: Korean war, Vietnam war, Middle Eastern war, so many wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, etc). Wars on plumbing, sewer and drainage. War on pipelines, wildfire and gas. There will be wars and rumor of wars.

Hmm, better watch AD ASTRA.

The Bird Scenes & SUNFLOWERS

There are about 1,801 seeds in this monster size sunflower head. I could have 1,801 seedlings for replanting next year. Problem is where to plant thousands of sunflowers? I don't think I will cover the yard with sunflowers. Not a chance. I could probably plant hundreds but not thousands of sunflowers.



Anyway, some of the seeds will be used for snacks and for bird seeds.

Looking for birds...

I haven't seen those big eagles. They are not nesting on those fir trees anymore. My husband said they are probably along the banks of the rivers or lakes or on those other bodies of water feeding on fishes. Birds of all kinds don't eat seeds alone, they also eat fruits and other small creatures in the wild aside from scavenging from the garbage dumpsite.

There are other birds that frequently visit the garden for berries. They are the crows, seagulls, the robins and there's another bird I saw at the front yard. Hey there bird, what kind of bird are you? This is the same specie of bird I sighted perching on a pear tree in the place where my husband works.

MORE PHOTOS:








The gorgeous, colorful bird on this photo above is probably the "northern flicker." darn! It was too late for me to zoom in my digital camera because it flew right away. Feeling disappointed of course. Next time, maybe next time I will have the chance to capture the best photo image.


This black bird could be a crow. A raven is much, much bigger than this. This black bird seen as watching the neighbor's grape vineyard.

My sister Emmy once told me that stellar jays or blue jays frequently nibble on their grapes at the backyard, so she covered the grapes with plastic bags and let them grow bigger until October.

There will be different kinds of birds and they will fatten themselves before Autumn comes, before Winter comes before they migrate to warm places. They are like bears and other animals who store and save  their food for future use.

Well, duh, humans have the same kind of saving and keeping their food. Everyone's waiting for caselots sale from Overwaitea (SOF) and other supermarkets who used to offer case lots sale for Autumn Season.

It's only 11 degrees C. this morning and now at this point in time it's already 15 degrees C.

Shakers, Movers & Twisters

Everyone probably knew by now that hurricanes come and go per year in certain places in the world. In Florida, they received such calamity every year. In Canada, usually hurricanes hit PEI and Nova Scotia. In Philippines, most of the time typhoons usually had a landfall first in the Bicol regions, then in Luzon. I heard that Mindanao seldom received typhoon. Hawaiian islands experiences such calamity too being located in the Pacific ocean. Meteorologists tend to have knowledge of where typhoons, storms and hurricanes will hit certain parts of a country, they know when and where the landfall of such calamity and they announced it on TV news, internet news and radios. However, meteorologists have no control of the WIND. They have no control of the speed of the wind where heavy loads of storm surge will fall and in what time and what definitely the exact location. They have no control of the jet stream...

You probably have control of the wind if you have a giant wind turbine and the turbine is focused on such definite target. For somebody to hit the right, exact target of such calamity? That's absurd and sounds so alarming.

If somebody has that knowledge of a hit or target of such gigantic proportion of hitting a target of landfall then that part or center or target could be a "dumpsite." That dumpsite has free of any inhabitants and no living things or absence of humans in such "target" and all the garbage are then put into that "dumpsite." Sometimes, a dumpsite is a giant crater of an extinct volcano. Nobody lives there. It's not a place for humans but only for garbage. It's a huge, giant dumpsite. Mankind used that huge, giant dumpsite for all the garbage they had accumulated per year and then burned to ashes.

To think that there are tornadoes in Alberta and sometimes in Ontario... the question of where those debris will have a landfall after the twister had finished its twisting process?

The Loads Are Heavy?

Are you good in dealing with problems? We all have problems and conflict in our lives and everyday struggles are sort of a part of the experience and add life's skills. It's how you deal with it everyday and face it with your strength and whatever impact those obstacles are you are there standing strong and mighty. Strengths and weaknesses? Accept them all wholeheartedly. It's part of life. Challenges are part of life to be strong, brave and courageous. Be thankful if you are the one who could carry the cross,  helping Jesus Christ with all the loads.

No one is without problems. However, it's how you deal with it. We don't have enough drama in my family that's for sure and some dramatic sequences are provided by people around us. Maybe because I like comedy better than drama.

Well, today is Sunday. You know what does it mean right? You as a devoted Catholic who believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of Earth and all the living entities. Because you are faithful believers you should attend the Church and proclaim your faith, confess your sins and  most of all to never sin again. Puede mag-asin ka pag matabang ang luto mo. Yun lang. What we have to practice is kindness. Be kind to one another. We have to understand why somethings had happened the way we don't know or we can't control. Yup, we all have to practice self-control. If you are angry at somebody because you are being lied, bullied and deceived then better to avoid such person or just ignore such person and do something that will keep you busy. Keeping busy will save you from being idle and away from all the troubles.

Tonight, is the continuation of  FEAR THE WALKING DEAD. I don't know what will happen. I am not a psychic. I don't know what will happen at BIG BROTHER either. It was a double eviction on last episode which sent Jessica and Christie on JURY Duty. They are now members of the Jury together with Jack, Kathryn, Analyze, & Nick.

If somehow they copied or imitate what's on my blog stories, not my fault. I told you... I don't have E.S.P.

LOL.

At The End Of The Tunnel

Come to think of it...my son is not really a burden to my family or anybody nor in our community. Actually he volunteered once at the "Home for the Aged." He did so many good deeds for students who need his help in ARTS. He is not a burden. He doesn't get out and do things that shame us. He is not homeless. He just likes to stay at HOME most of the time. He doesn't get into trouble or bring trouble to my family or anybody. He is not a panhandler. NEVER. He is not a charity case.

He can cook his own food (meals) if he doesn't like the food I cooked. He owned his own computer and other tech gadgets for his art works. He is smart and talented. Just that he prepares work that is based on computer.

I know that there are many kids and adults out there who are burden in terms of  "you have to build bigger foundation to build their careers." You have to do thousands of fundraising just to make those people shine brightly and make them happy. You're investing too much money on people you don't even know, and you don't even know their motives and purpose and you don't get profit in return. In other words SCAM. You are being scammed!

Hope floats. Who are in need of help? Who should you help? Anyway, not here to provide drama. I had enough drama listening to those sentimental crying games on TV. Maybe it's time to watch SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.

It Takes Time

My husband asked our son Justin if he wants to work for him, with pay. (My eldest son worked for my husband before and he received wages). However,  my second son didn't say yes or no, just didn't say anything, he was just quiet not telling anyone, anybody what he thinks. I think I know Justin better than his Dad. He likes working on computers. He likes computer animation, programming, graphics and 3D designing and moduling. It has something to do with computers. He doesn't like working at restaurant, department stores or those retail outlets. He 's into ARTS. He likes photography and drawings. He had a scholarship for it. Scholarship has its limits.

Children or young adults who have artistic talents are moody and tend to do things their way. They are the masters of their own mind. You probably knew some biographies of talented artists like Van Gogh, Michael Angelo, Rembrandt, Picasso, Amorsolo, Benjamin Chee chee, Leonardo Da Vinci and other famous or not so famous artists/painters they are mostly indulged in their own world. They are not sociable and they are always drawn to their own artistry or their own way of dealing with their work or whatever that keep them busy. No famous painter is having another work to master that's for sure. They are not multitasker.

In fairness, let me reveal a story at one time when my computer was acting up or going haywire and my dear son Justin fixed it. It was the same sort of  situation that happened with my computer long time ago and I had a technician looked over it, he tried to fix it for 2 days and the technician told me to just buy a new computer because he can't fix it. Well, same kind of problem when my son saw it and analyzed the problem, he fixed my computer in less than an hour. In less than an hour!!!! I have brothers who are in the same way very technical and mechanical. One younger brother was a television and radio technician and the older brother is an air con technician and he also repairs refrigerators, electric fans and other electronics. My dear father repairs anything from radio, electric fans, stove, fridge, typewriters, anything... he is a soldier (retired). My husband also do some kind of repairs too with his truck and boat, lawnmower, vacuum machine, etcheterra aside from being a manager for townhouses/apartments.

I had problem with the digital wristwatch I bought from Walmart and my son fixed it for me. The other day, his Dad asked help with his printing machine and he fixed it too. I told my husband that maybe our son would rather work at Staples instead of doing carpentry work or house painting. Part of the problem is my son Justin is shy and timid. He is a very handsome son of mine. I'm not saying that because he is my son. He is good looking and he doesn't want to shine. He's not taller than his Dad but look at Tom Cruise he's not that tall, he's probably just 5'5 or ? what could be his height?

Sometimes it's the self-confidence is what is lacking with some people we know about. I don't know where and when  my son who is very smart could finally get out of the house and be a part of the workplace and let his talent and ability shines. It's a matter of time. ?

It takes a lot of time to persuade certain persons, to motivate them, give them good advice. It's hard to be a Mother. It's hard to tell kids the truth that children have the moral obligation to be not a burden to their parents and they should find work so that they can be of help to themselves. When you are over 24 years of age, you are not a child anymore and it's time to move on and be a part of the community and it's time to WORK. It can't be all video games and play. Work or occupation is something that you will value your whole life to support yourself.

Perfection to Imperfections

 Humans are known to be mortal and imperfect. The only perfect with perfect plans and agenda, motives and purpose is GOD.

GOD that we never see because God is invisible, infinite, immense and immeasurable.

 Looking for perfection in almost anything? Looking for perfect circle? We thought all sunflower disks have perfect floret disks. Look at this above photo of sunflower.

 Look at the round table, almost perfect circle.

And look at this imperfect sunflower disk with nut seeds. I was looking for perfect sunflower seeds for re-planting and can't find it yet. maybe later...

Where is the perfect circle? According to Buddhism, a perfect circle is a circle that has an "opening" that allows an entrance. You can enter and exit. I don't know what kind of perfect circle they want to point out. They probably think about the womb of a mother that has opening for growth of a fetus, of another being, being born. Or the planet that has an opening for air to breathe. A closed circle has no opening and no air or any oxygen that can pass through meaning no living organism is allowed to enter or pass through because it is tight and closed. The significance of a circle is round. A perfect circle is a perfect in its proportion , shape, and in numbers (diameter) to measure a perfect circle is to use certain instrument. If it has an opening it is not actually a circle. People have varying degree of what is meant by perfect and imperfection.

I am not perfect either. At one point in time when I stated that generator is worth $150 only?(( I wished!)) My God! I was wrong!! There's nothing like $150 worth generator nowadays. LOL. OMG! What the hell am I thinking?
So, correcting myself here. The price of generator is really costly. Price range from $672 to $929 + tax in NAPA Auto Parts.

CANADIAN TIRE also has GENERATORS Price range: $699 to $1, 299

Healthy Greens On The Yard

I was having my breakfast this morning when Lorne pointed the lawn at the yard. The grass is greener and healthy on the spot where he cleaned the fish. I noticed that too yesterday.

For your perusal.
Now we know that fish compost works as fertilizer. The blood of the fish, the scales from salmons helped in making the bermuda grass looked healthy and vibrant green in color.

The Mysterious Bougainvillea

I don't know why some people are trying to answer a question that I asked. It's not the first one nor first time that so many people tried to reply directly and indirectly. I think this is an on-going internet trivia. Linking each other like a rosary prayer.

You don't really need to reply. No need to answer my question just because I asked. I usually talk to myself. Anyway...
 Here's what I noticed days ago (Bougainvillea - August 2019). What's happening to the bougainvillea flower? Suddenly the flowers are of another shade of color. Supposedly the color is only fuschia but now it's turning into the color of the leaves.Or the leaves are turning fuschia in colors. Maybe the  "turning of colors" is slow because of the weather.


I think it must be because of the sudden drop of temperature recently, then the weather temperature went up again 2 days ago. Hot and cold. That could be the reason why. There's no bug, no insect ever touch or fly around this incredible, gorgeous floral. The bees, the ants fly or yellow jacket never come near its branches, leaves or flowers I wonder why.  It's a beautiful flower. Maybe because it has no scent. No fragrance. can you smell if bougainvillea has scented smell?

Actually since me moved in here last year we didn't see any housefly. Walang langaw. It's weird right? Only when the fish was taken at the backyard for cleaning and fillet we saw some flies flying
around. After everything's been cleaned  at the yard, no more flies except those bees and wasps. Fortunately, this bougainvillea plant never ever receive any bugs at all. Wala syang bwisita. lol Kataka-taka. I think because from its stems, leaves, branches and flowers she's so beautiful and very immaculately clean. However, the changing of the floral's color/shade and hue is what I am most intrigued about.

Bougainvillea - June 2019

September Morn

First day of school in Canada. yey! I wonder how happy those students are away from few hours from home and away from their parents constant domineering helicopter like guarding them constantly on what they are doing everyday during their school vacation. As I remember being back to school when I was younger, all the proper "get ready back to school process" was in placed. Teachers had the same kind of agenda and plans. Thinking what teachers and educators were thinking? You have to think the way they think.

Oh no! It's not being those children in the movie " Village of the Damned." lol. Oopss not funny! Or you'll be walled in.

Introduction. Roll calls for attendance. Your names will be called and you have to introduce yourself. Then you have to write an essay about your 2 month vacation away from school or university. What happened to you in those days and months that made a difference in your life. Any important or valuable lessons in life learned at your home or place of solitude. Any worthy experience worth mentioning that adds life, strength and vigor to your boring life. Whatever! Try to impress your teachers.

The sun shines so brightly today. All wide-eyed and bushy tails... what is your special tale?

 I have to impress myself. I have to try keeping myself busy and stay away from all the troubles of the world. Let those bureaucrats and the politicians solve the problems, after all election is soon to come, it's fast approaching and they must be the ones to impress us with their agenda. I'll be looking and watching the sunflowers in my garden nearing its maturity.

 Ola! What are you doing sunflower? Yeah, it's good talking to sunflowers. Did you know that botanists and gardeners used to talk with their plants? They have senses too just like humans and they also have kingdom called the plant kingdom.

 Sunflower, you looked-like shower head now. It's nice knowing you. When will your nut seeds be available for replanting?

It will take time, I know that. Patience is a virtue once again.

Look at you there sunflower, your nut seeds are growing and growing, the floret disk is expanding and your seeds are changing its color and hue from white to grey and almost getting dark...

And the precious nut seed is here to amaze us. Are you crunchy or not ... what could be? What could be hidden in your SEED?

Foodie's Galore





Yup! Food matters especially if they are truly delicious!

Chinook For My Dinner

Who will eat Filipino dish but only me. Chinook drowning on coconut milk, spices, mushrooms, bell peppers, chilli leaves, salt and ground black pepper. As I said before and say it again that chinook tasted like tuna.

For my husband and my children ( younger adults) they will always love their Canadian cuisines no matter what.

 Roast beef with yorkshire pudding and gravy that's fine.

 Grilled beef steak and mushrooms + fresh garden salad

 Spicy ribs, wild rice, steamed corn, rotini pasta/beef/tomato sauce and green beans

 Cheeseburger
Hamburger
Why not?
