Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness

 There are new television series about to unfold for Fall season on TV channels and one of those series would like to watch is the "Vampire Academy." There's another series "Interview With the Vampire" derived from the highly acclaimed movie with the same title which starred Hollywood great actors: Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt. That's right, scare us in the next months to come during fall and  winter months. For those who cannot wait the vampires then watch the new movie "Invitation." 

Why vampires are scary and yet when turned into movies or tv series, no matter how frightening the story and how scary and creepy those vampires and draculas, people tend to enjoy watching them?

Just like zombies! Some people watched movies when the theme and plot is about those creepy creatures.

Know why? Maybe because it's people's way out to escape from reality. Because what is reality anyway in your own opinion and what you had experienced in the past when pandemic set in. What the lockdown had contributed to your boring life? Did you learn anything from the isolation and the long lockdown?

Are your friends still your friends and your relatives still your relatives after the long pandemic? Probably something has changed your life for good or for worse. For those celebrities the long pandemic had them separated and divorced and had turned their families into dysfunctional. Other families, the ordinary families live their lives as normal as possible away from civilization or away from all the troubles. Some families just choose to socialize with people they normally talk to in person, over the phone or through social media. While the anti-socials keep on just talking to themselves as means to cope up with burgeoning problems they already had before the pandemic. The people suffering with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) hey so many of them now, millions of them. Before they were only few of them as in 1 in 200 (ratio). Now? It's almost like half/half. 100 in 200 or more than 150/200 it's because the word "COVID" is so stunningly scarier than zombie and vampire combined. heh! That's what those stupids want you to know as in they enjoy the pandemic so much that their millions had turned into billions of dollars and the poorer gets poorer. It's a matter of mind game so deadly, vile & wicked. 

My question is why the FBI & CIA didn't even bother to get into this "pandemic a-hole?" how the hell they didn't bother to examine, investigate those corrupt officials of the government and those who worked to protect mankind. Hmm, are aliens for real? Are they having  infiltration and infiltrating each and everyone in the government and the health care workers? Those health care workers who are like robots in announcing the same old story again and again. "Wear face masks and wash your hands frequently as possible." Stay 2 meters away from each other so that the other person could breathe. They smoked too much weeds and they need ventilator." Why not just take bath everyday why wash hands only? Why face masks? There are many ways to cover up or have disguises. It works both ways. CCTV everywhere. Your face could be stolen and pasted on somebody else's face. lol. Not being funny here. I think so many people, so many millions of humans need the service of dentist. Too many people with health problems because of their rotten teeth. Those wearing dentures had their dentures since 50 years ago and they should have brand new dentures but cannot have  news ones cuz its costly. They could have just say:

Take a bath everyday. Wash your hands before and after using the washrooms. Brush your teeth 3x a day. Use antibacterial toothpaste and gargle with mouthwash. (Visit your dentist 2x per year). Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Keep yourself clean, tidy and away from any germ-causing bacteria and viruses. So stay away from all health care workers. Avoid hospitals and clinics. lol. Most of all avoid dirty jobs.

 How are you to respond to certain figure of speech? 

I have a brilliant friend/classmate who is highly intelligent, so brilliant and love to use figure of speech in her many statements. Sometimes I get that blank face or facial expression of being flabbergasted as who is she talking with? What the hell she is trying to impress with such lavish, pompous amount of demonic words? lol. I can understand some low grade sentences, statements or below the belt words too.

It's not that I cannot understand her language but me being bilingual having to sort out whether she is trying to outsmart, compete, or she's being gibberish, rude or somewhat being provocative and her statements or rather ordinary conversation becomes a competition of rockets being fired to heaven.

I am not in a lecture/forum symposium or in a conference with superbly high intellectuals and I will for sure compete with her in manner that we can be comfortable with, however if it's just a plain chat and why we have to punish ourselves with all the high falutin language. If she wants a super position, stereoscopic perception of all about everything would be happy with that. But why, be that impersonal? Why not we all yell and sing "Yellow" at each other and be ourselves because nobody will take check on our grammar, or is there? Are we being watched, recorded or we are being checked on our grammar and should be perfect and the words we used count in every possible way that each word has a point as in the game of scrabble. Yup, that boggles my mind. Maybe it was scrabble the name of the game. Board game. Into deep. In depth analysis.

Have you ever listen to newscasters on TV? Do we ever heard those newscasters using high standard words or any word from your thesaurus? NO. They only speak or talk in the language that majority of humans can understand in ENGLISH. You want the use of second language in French and extra sign language for those who are hearing impaired? Then that's the reason why you get extra fee for TV Connection. For the vision impaired? Why not settle for radio? Or you can still watch TV and just listen not all blinds are hearing impaired. No one's hearing impaired in my home. No one's vision impaired either. Selective hearing seems the conflict. We only listen to what our ears want to hear. It's better that way or negativity sets in and you get the long rigid explanation and reasons why and it will be never ending story.

By the way, I am thankful for having friends who are highly intelligent for you can benefit from their ideas and why not you are friend with them it's because it's the same thing... friends with benefit.  Both of you benefit from such interaction, social friendship, there's nothing that harm anybody if both parties have that give and take relationship and it should be just even. Fair & just.

Are You A Cocoon?

 While I was posting a blog composition yesterday and my husband was watching an old episode of NCIS: Gibbs, Ziva, and the rest of the cast including the new Asian female agent. In that episode, their attitude towards the female Asian agent who is the photographer for the case is somewhat weird. Are they being racist or what? Or that's part of the role, story or plot for that episode? The facial expression shown by cast of the NCIS didn't show any irritable or annoying attitude or showing of faces of disgust towards anybody even if they are the "villains." Except that the episode yesterday, and the facial expressions captured through the lens meant something else. Hey, is there a difference if one of the cast of character in a television series or show if its a Filipina, Chinese or any Asian character in  "White dominated TV series?" They never showed those "facial expression" towards Black people. Maybe you should be fair and or start to sunbath so that your skin will change its color and think that it's not the color that makes you human.

Just asking because the camera lens wont lie. This kind of scenario is more common in the workplace. I don't know what makes them racist? What makes them feel annoyed, irritated or felt insecurity when a character in the story of any show or movie is a Filipino or Chinese?

I know the feeling. Some "people with outstanding character, privilege or belong to the WHITE SUPREMACY feels threaten when an Asian human being is more educated, highly educated or highly skilled than them. They felt so annoyed and felt the threat that their jobs would be scrutinized, reviewed, and compared. Highly educated Asians are very competitive in the workplace, anywhere around the world. Hey, Edgar Hoover the FBI director was a Filipino, just so you must know that. It's not that Filipinos are low IQ human beings. Well, he's dead so what else to be the secret out there?

Anyway, why I'm into this again? It's because this is what some WHITE people think of the Brown people as so down low their ranking. RACISM is really real and its starting to get into many millions of nerves. What made you think you are the true, real image of God? 

Show me your cocoon!

Pancit

 VAN HOUTTE is my favourite coffee although husband usually buys what is affordable at the supermarket. For now, we have Tim Horton's brand coffee. I don't like the taste of TH's. How and why coffee beans tasted differently from one bean to another? You know why?

It's how the beans are grounded and roasted. Or the harvesting of the beans from its orchard. The farmers probably are harvesting "too raw -  beans not ripe" or not ready for picking and the taste of such beans could be very bitter. 

I don't know about you but I'm a coffee drinker from as far as I can remember way back then Grade Six (Elementary), my bad! I learned to drink coffee from my father who likes coffee every morning while watching news on TV and or reading newspaper early morning. My kind of coffee was blended or mixed with milk (powder). I used to dip the hot pandesal (with dairy-cream butter) on my coffee-milk and it tasted better. The bakery in our village (barangay) is just walking distance from our home, actually on the third house from our home, so everyday every morning our pandesal and our pastry is fresh and hot most of the time.

The bakery here in Canada is walking distance too, in another block maybe it will take 10 minutes to get there. I'm too lazy to walk. Since I came here to Canada, walking seems a boring, lazy and goofy way to do and that maybe the reason why too many people here have disability with their legs. Hmm, not really the correct way to say it. You'll find that out when you come here and experience it yourself.

I'm craving for pancit. Maybe I should cook pancit today. Why pancit all the time even if there's no birthday celebrant? Maybe I'm part Chinese! Ha ha ha!

Know why? Pancit is my favourite food. lol

 Usually cook pancit with different ingredients:

Pancit with snow peas an squeeze of calamansi juice

Pancit with sotanghon

Pancit with bokchoy instead of sliced cabbage

Pancit with spaghettini noodles and broccoli

Pancit farkay

Pancit with bell peppers

Different ways to cook pancit (chow mein). 

Pancit - Filipino dish for chow mein. Stir-fry noodles garnished with variety of fresh ingredients: 

Cooking oil, garlic, sliced onions, pork, shrimps, salt, ground black pepper, soy sauce, bell peppers, mushrooms, vegetables (sliced cabbage or bokchoy, snowpeas, thin slices of carrots, slices of celery, spring onions, cilantro), noodles (Farkay brand) or Vermicelli noodles.

YUM! YUM! YUM!!

 I don't know how I was able to sleep last night despite of the hot temperature, even if we have two electric fans in our bedroom and the window is half-wide open. IT WAS effing HOT!

Hubby said that when he decided to get out to cool off, out in the patio, the neighbors (also in the same apartment) were outside at the patio. That's how hot it is. Well, the air from the fan is not that really cool but warm. No wonder some neighbors windows have at least two air conditioners for their room and maybe air con installed in other parts of their house. Others have air-pump air con. 

The only way, that millions of people can enjoy a better cooler temperature is to lower the weather temperature in the province of Canada. We should pray for Autumn to arrive earlier? lol. 

Maybe, the factories, manufacturing plant, coal plant should stop its function for now. Maybe, there should be a control of the ISS on who should receive cooler air or who should have clouds. Is that possible? Have you seen the movie GEOSTORM?

It's already August 19, 2022. Autumn on September 21. If the astronomers and weathermen knew when Autumn will begin then they should know how to have advance "cooling process." 

Oh, that's expensive! It's very costly to control the weather or climate of certain country. Right! But Canada is in the Nothern regions or part of the world.

Oh, Canada... wildfires haven't consume yet the whole British Columbia. What a total BS.

You need more ink, tons and volumes of ink fort he 3rd world countries. They need lots of ink for their schooling to better educate the 3rd world countries. Ink for writing, printing, industrial purposes, for painting, for tattoos. For all the advertising purposes, for almost everything for telecommunications, for memeographs, for recording, etc, etc. blah blah blah. OMG! As if they are not using computers and not using the modern technology and still ink is the biggest most expensive commodity that it will wipe out the forest. 

Well, have to cool down...

What Is Your Equation?

 It was sooooo HOT last night! Shocking! How the hell Canada is getting this kind of super hot climate? What is really wrong?

I never ever thought that Canada being closer to the North Pole would have this kind of weather temperature exceeding 35 degrees Celsius. 

What is British Columbia long time ago? What is BC or British Columbia in the old map?

I read an old magazine many years ago, with a very old, old map of British Columbia. In that old map, the North Pole is widely covered with ice or thick iceberg. British Columbia is placed in the locator down to the South American territory. BC is actually Columbia. Are you sure? Yeah, asking myself again.

Hmm, you have to remember that from 15th Century to 18th Century the Universal Language is Spanish. The English Language was almost like the Anglo-Saxon Language mix of Scottish/Irish/Slavic. 

It was after 1900 when The American English Language became the Universal Language. It was after the Spanish-American War. That also include the Spanish-Filipino-American war actually. Although in the old book it was sort of American war with Cubans. Magulo. Hey, there is that part of the Philippines where Chabacanos speak the Cuban language. There is that hidden border maybe that warp through the jungle or what could be the secrecy on those hidden passages. I should not be the one to know and I don't care. I only care when war all of a sudden breaks. 

To think that those billionaires would rather seek and explore the outer space to the next planet when down here on planet earth are the many unexplored territories. It's just showing off how much money they have and financial capability that they ca reach the unreachable planet because they can afford. LOL. Nice try. It would be easier for those mockers to see the devils than reach and live in the next planet. Hey, you'll never know...maybe they are the devils. But the devils, are they aliens? 

Hmm, you should ask Trump. Ha ha! Is that info in the classified information gathered by the FBI Agents? The X Files.

At least we know that if there are the devils then there is God. Why must the two of them exist for mankind to unravel, believe then ignore? Things we don't really see sometimes don't matter. What really matter is the existence of something that is of beneficial otherwise...

Symbiotic relationship: You only exist because you are part of that equation. 

 

It's the Year 2022 and the Universal Language is still ENGLISH.

Fight To WIN The Game

 I apologize for being blunt rather for swearing and cursing as if I'm a sailor! I am not like this...never. Nobody will believe me that I could swear and be manly and tell it to the Marines what's in my mind.

You know why? It's because there is so much lying and deception already.

It's all GAMES and stupid games full of tricks and gimmicks.

Why not those A-holes play poker game instead?

Why include the fans and the sports viewers into their effing stupid games?

Why not you guys just play your game in a very clean manner without the need to include everyone outside of your sports. You guys don't need to cheat or play deception.

JUST PLAY FAIR.

Nothing's wrong with playing the fair game.

Nobody should sell the game no matter what.

The decision should be between two players playing the game and no outside coaching , no outside disturbance, no politics, no interference from families on both opposite sides even if they are close member of the family, wife, husband not even girlfriend or boyfriend. The decision of the game should be based on clean, honest, integrity and no cheating whatsoever. The game should not be based on anybody's coercion, pressure tactic and what else could be the conflict?

You know when a player is being pressured. You know or everyone knows when a player is being pushed over, coerced, forced to do something bad or the pressure to give up the game. That's unfair. If that's the case then better to lose the game and out of the arena, out from the stadium...as in not worth it.

If you want to win FIGHT FOR IT. That's the guiding factor for winners.

Extraordinary Special Water

 Can you smell chlorine in your water system? Or you can only smell chlorinated water when you are in the swimming pool?

Chlorine is the "antiseptic" that makes your water safe and clean. It has sanitizing quality that purifies the water for safe cleaning purposes and human consumption. It has medical purposes too. Maybe that's what everybody needs to make your bathing and swimming safe and healthy. 

We are not in the dark ages when humans are bathing in filthy liquified coal. You don't bathe and shower in muddy, dark quality flood waters infused with toxic chemicals or sewer water. The water system should be purified with chlorine & maybe that's the reason why the covid virus thrives and so as monkey pox suddenly having a come back to most civilized cities and civilized countries its because the water system is of poor quality and without chlorine. I think before the 90's the flourine or flouride was also implemented in the water system. Too many politicians opposed the flourine or flouride in the water system because you can have them in your toothpaste. But taking out the chlorine in the water system in civilized countries would just mean we are back to the dark ages. You are bathing in sewer water and water poorly been in the process of desalination as if you live in the poorest of the poor third world country. Desalination process for water? Hmm...wonder what countries have to do that eh?

Anyway, you wont believe nor you think that the vaccine of such "liquid" could help you but how many millions are having positive result for covid after two vaccinations? The next vaccination or booster shots will soon be administered as if that's the cure. Small doses of such "special water."

CHLORINE or chlorinated water should be the  best option. 

Latest news about OTC or Over The Counter meds are out of stock especially Tylenol and Advil. Out of stock or some people are hoarding them? FGS! Are we into this again of the problem with supply chain?

Here's what everyone should know. When you get sick (I hope not), list all the symptoms. You know what "symptoms" mean? You Canadians are English-speaking humans so you know the definition of symptoms. 

You know that when the weather temperature changes all of a sudden your body tends to have  dramatic changes too. It might not be too dramatic for some people. It could be comedy of error. Who knows right? You'll have headache, runny nose, you'll sneeze and that's normal. NORMAL. It will go away. However if that continues for two days and you have fever and cough then you need the OTC or medicines for such ailment. TAKE MEDICINES. It's ok. Nothing to panic about. Check your body temperature.

Some healthy humans are cured with just VITAMIN C. Their colds and flu gone with Vitamin C. 

Nobody panic with cold and flu. It was a normal occurrence once or twice a year for every human being. Nothing to panic if you are a healthy human being. I think those "demonic assholes" want you to panic. When you panic, what happen when you are in panic?

HOWEVER, if you are unhealthy and OLD (older humans tend to get sickly as compared to everyone else) and you have other diagnosis aside from cold and flu then it's time to call your doctor. It's not all covid. But if those whoever they are who are still profiteering from covid until now, shame on them and let your conscience bother you for the rest of your lives.  They are just trying to use it as to cover their graft and corruption. My God, please let us have some form of enlightenment. JUSTICE FOR ALL. Enough covid assholes. STOP VAPING AND STOP SMOKING!

Why the educated people have to be "uneducated" just because of this covid made up pandemic gets in the way? This is a mind boggling wickedly infused racism actually caused by the NAZI REGIME.

OCD: Obsession Becomes Normal & Natural During The Pandemic

 Skin rashes because of allergy is now common as it is after the pandemic simply because how many of us became compulsive with taking care of ourselves, washing hands like as if we have OCD. 

WASH YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP & WATER as frequently as you want. ((Everyday AD on TV by Health Care professionals)) Duh. Do they really follow the same way of washing their hands to keep their hands clean? You have to watch them and find out then. Follow what you preach dudes. Find out if their hands are really clean or dry from washing too much.

CLEAN YOUR HANDS WITH ANTISEPTIC, HAND SANITIZER so many times everyday until your hands become dry and it's not good for you actually. Do you have eczema from doing it everyday?

TAKE A BATH OR TAKE A SHOWER EVERYDAY and other humans take a shower twice or 3x everyday. My God, that's a lot of TONS of shampoo and conditioner, bath soap, lotion, moisturizer, cleaning supply. It's all MARKETING! You made so many businesses thrive, profited and manufacturers of cleaning supply happy and they are still hungry? FGS!

MARKETING! It's all about money-making pathways and those business people are laughing all the way to the bank.

ALL THE OCD, all the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder becomes too normal and the result?

YOUR SKIN SUFFERED! Your mental health and physical well being  is suffering. We want those businesses of greed pay for our suffering.

ANXIETY. Worrying too much because of the pandemic. Health care workers are overwhelmed of the amount and influx of patients who are wanting to have their own family physician to attend to their needs. Right! You have many patients out of yin-yang. You are benefited from all these millions to billions of patients. You are getting richer by the hour medical and health care professionals. YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY!

Then hives, pruritic become a normal skin irritation because not only of the allergy but because there are too many harsh ingredients in the making of those hand sanitizer, soap and the medicines you are taking especially those heart medication pills plus the food you are allergic. To blame other sources of allergy? Include the environment, the pollution, the air, the water system. Tell me more of other sources of allergens? Tell me more...tell me more...

Oh, not to mention that the mRNA VACCINES had adverse effects too. One of them is the skin rashes as side effect.

Don't worry, you are not alone. Hundred millions of people are suffering from acne, pimples, freckles (some humans even want tattoos of freckles on their faces)  hives, skin rashes, contact dermatitis, bug bites, warts, kelloids, eczema, psoriasis, melanoma, skin cancer,  and other malady of skin irritations even before the pandemic simply because your body is not made of plastic, porcelain, plaster, rubber, cement or steel.

It's not that your hygiene is poor but because CHEMICALS are also to be blamed and the WATER is no longer pure and how are we to have 100% SAFE,  CLEAN DRINKABLE WATER? is chlorinated water safe? For bathing and washing plain white clothes, the chlorine in the water is safe. The water in 20th to 21st Century are being recycled. Actually we are using the old waters from at the time of the Roman Empire even at the time of the ancient Egyptian. Who knows, the iceberg that is melting in our generation could be the old water from the Ice Age that caused the demise of dinosaurs on planet Earth.

There's really no human who has the perfect skin anymore unless of course if they are not humans. They are probably mannequins or humans with porcelain skin wrapped around its body surface as in form of disguise or photoshopped.

JUST BE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF.

NOBODY'S PERFECT.

Nothing's NEW?

 How the travelogue for so many travellers had been un-necessary chaos, when it was already chaotic and quixotic even before the pandemic, well that's too much to bear actually. 

I don't have the patience to witness nor experience such madness.

No wonder those who can afford the luxury would rather travel using private jets and private yachts. Don't blame them. If they have the financial capability to travel without the hurdles and hassles then use whatever convenience out there.

The pandemic probably was implemented globally just to make use of control. Just like what the terrorism act as means of control to implement the ease of mass travel or influx of migration. There are only few airplanes for billions of people and few experienced pilots. However, it seems that there are millions of people not buying the concept of such control to movements. LOL. 

When its almost time to hibernate and here come group of people wanting to make noise. Breaking the ice! I know so many of you hate winter. The hatred for icy roads and snow piling up the roads and highways. Silence is meant for hibernation and loud noises break the ice.

Unfortunately, climate is something that is uncontrollable in many parts of the world. The weather temperature still is > depends on how your country can avail the much needed resources of control.

Low precipitation could be felt this afternoon. I don't know how far and how long the showers would be but of course will lower the temperature outdoors within BC. It's AUGUST. What can you do?

So, we watched the episode of AMAZING RACE last night hosted by John Montgomery. Venue: From Alberta to Vernon, BC. Lots of things to do in Vernon such as : paragliding (you'll climb the mountaintop to glide hoisted to parachute with an expert + target shooting after a skiing activity + yard bowling + apple pie making + counting cherry trees and the estimated quantity of harvest (cherries in lbs.) seemed to be easy but imagine yourself counting all the trees in an orchard in Vernon plantation under the heat of the sun, after you had a triathlon or biathlon in freezing cold... Your body and mind can suffer at a rate of _____? Your heartbeat beats faster and probably beats irregularly as call for the situation of  the mix wild temperature. Hot & cold  temp. and the result is "brain freeze." Hmm... you wonder why some normal humans get so dazed, confused and dizzy. It's more like a wacky race. Whether Jon is the host of the Amazing Race Canada he doesn't show mercy to anybody whether they are celebrities or non-celebrity. Jully Black & Kathy were eliminated because they were the last team to arrive at the Pit Stop. ((Whether they cheated on looking at the chalkboard for answer or not just like Daichon and Tychon -who were to wait for 2 hours - penalty. Hey, some of those teams before had been passing answers to other contestants which supposedly not allowed)). Jully Black and Kathy were already been eliminated the first time on its first episode but they were given the second chance. THE LAST TEAM TO ARRIVE AT THE PIT STOP is the reason for the elimination.

I wonder what to watch next. They should produce more vampire movies or zombie movies. Produce zombie films similar to TRAIN TO BUSAN. 

Days are so boring. What a life. That's why > THE MEDIA have to revive the TRUMP RESURRECTION SERIES its because nothing's new = ZERO.

Making Things Right

 ARE WE PAID HERE?

Would you believe we are not paid for our blogs nor we are paid for blogging. As a blogger or blogwriting for many years now haven't receive any cent but look at what I have accomplished in all my blogs without pay.

So many blogwriters here in the internet also are without wages and without compensation but we're here to entertain with our life story. Our blog composition, our blog photos being posted in our blogs are labor of love and dedication. Effort is exerted with human feelings. We spent more money buying memory cards for our digital camera so that we can post more photographs because our readers like to read blogs and browse on photos. You cannot blog without computer or laptop or any electronic gadgets. We pay for the internet connection and pay electricity (hydro) we never fail to entertain other humans who deserve the best. You don't pay for viewing or reading our blogs. We are doing our blogging diligently, with all honesty, this is our work and we are not paid but we do it anyway because we have our valid reason to be here and be accounted for. 

The question of why some people are not doing their job or work properly is disgusting and no amount of explanation could ever lead us to believe other than laziness probably is the only reason. When you are paid for the work you should at least double your effort or be double happy and you must be enthusiastic and what else you should be at a level when the work you are doing is paid for? 

This has something to do with working in sports. You think you are just playing the game. You heard so many quotes, unquotes " It's only a game!" So many people are empowered because of the sports, the games that made their lives worth living for. The sports and the games you belittle is the source of income for many millions of families. For the players who are playing the game, whose source of income, their wages and benefit are derived from such sports...if you are that lazy bum who take for granted such opportunity you only hurt the system and the businesses that made you who you are and that include the billions of  people who believe of such empowerment and influence.

Sunday - Monday

 To tell you the truth don't know why I still watch BIG BROTHER when those who won the HOH & POV never become the ultimate winner at the end. Sometimes, the winner is the one not being called to the games nor participate in the game, not a POV winner and not an HOH winner. Maybe the winner is the one who will clean all the mess within BIG BROTHER HOUSE. 

Last night's episode made me doubt Jazmine's leg injury. It looks kind of baloney or made up not to compete or her "disability or foot injury" is one heck of a wicked strategy. If you are a fanatic Big Brother viewer as you had seen so many episodes and shows, everyone has a strategy to stick with each other or group themselves together to win whether they have to lie, deceive, use themselves as pawns or be the "bromance made up show" because other strategies were already been taken. Who the good guys and who are up to sabotage and who are conspirators. Two allegedly lawyers (attorneys) are somewhat gays. Are they really gays? Or that's part of their cover-up? You'll never know because they are in that show in disguised, not using their real names and not to reveal their profession. So it's a matter of they are probably in that BB House for reason that is only known to the host Julie Chen Moonves. 

Or the BBH is actually a REHAB. Could be a house to pay duty and obligations. ? That anyone who is eliminated first pays their dues right immediately and need not suffer any consequences.

Whatever it is...just my own opinion.

Hubby bought 10 fresh whole salmons from the local fisherman.

He cleaned and gutted all the salmons, then sliced them into desired measurement and now they are stored in the medium sized freezer. 

 

I like fish, as a matter of fact would like to have fish as viands twice every week or 3x per week rather have meat of pork and beef. 

 

However, my kids definitely not into fish. They like chicken more than fish.

So to satisfy their cravings I cooked a special chicken curry for dinner.

Then tonight's dinner... 

OMG! It is such a pain thinking what's next to cook.

Any suggestion?

What's Next?

 It was stated in the weather network forecast for last night: 14 degrees Celsius. Wow! Too goo to be true. 14 C felt like 28 degrees Celsius. 

This morning about 22 degrees Celsius, 23 C (inside the house) on the screen of our small weather temp. device. It might goes up to 28 C. I hope not! Because 28 C felt like 32 degrees Celsius.

Sunday today and hope you all are in the Church attending the mass. I pray in the convenience of the home where my family lives. God is everywhere you just have to learn how to pray and hope God hears your fervent prayers.

NEWS from TV Networks: So much drills. Is that really a drill? The drill that caused the building to collapse? It's dry. The land of Gaza and Israel look kind of tinder dry. Once again they are in the news and death is part of the chaos of missiles being fired after another. Then in China, another drill is being seen on TV and the Taiwanese get nervous and so as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. If that's only a drill what is REAL?

Bold, vibrant and colorful photos of the galaxy, the Milky Way provided by the new giant telescope in space being passed around the internet. I am not amused. I saw those photos before in a popular Science magazine. DISCOVER magazine is ahead of all the works.

What else is new? ONE = NEW. ZERO = NONE.

1010101010101010101010101001010010101010101

Nothing's new unless if someone out there makes an adventure of a lifetime that catapulted to something out of extraordinary or if the aliens are real. 

Zombieland 3? Nope. 

The Walking Dead & Fear The walking Dead new episodes? When?

Too slow for those who wait.

What will happen at BIG BROTHER? Who gets booted off?  The last episode, seen that Nicole was eliminated and once again saves Taylor from being eliminated. Why? First thought they don't like Taylor from BB House but they always booted off the one they like? Very deceptive. Dubious, liars and you cannot trust anybody in that show. It seems that they thought Taylor is harmless and everyone thought she can be defeated by anyone of the house guest. Pooch out, Ameera out because they also thought that he is smart and she is smart  and they would likely to win the Big Brother's prized money.

Reminiscing

 Sometimes when I told stories, the very dramatic ones at a very tender age as in long time ago...the clouds suddenly get darker, there'll be thunder and lightning and voila!!!!! Here comes the rain again. Not just rain. It was actually typhoon. Some people are actually happy when the weather temperature changes. Yeah, you think only frogs and animals are happy when the temperature cools down?

Our family lives in Fort Bonifacio up there in Mackinley Hills (it is a hill not a mountain). It was the Home of the Philippine Army. All residents, all house owners were soldiers. Each house, every house has it home address with the name of the owner and military rank then the home address. Grabe  di ba? Dapat home number lang and the street name pero yung pati name nung may ari ng bahay nakapost sa wall ng bahay sa tabi ng pinto. parang placard. Then on the upper level of the hill right closer to the military parish church were rows of the beautiful homes intended for high ranking officers and in that area downhill was the private military High School & College,   also closer to the PX or Military Commissary for goods and services where the military family and their dependents can avail of local and imported items. Within the military compound installation are branches of the military such as GHQ, ASH or the Army General Hospital (built in 1912), PMMA (Philippine Merchant Marine Academy), Philippine Navy HQ, ATO, and the Combat Arms School + the Training Ground. Outside of its military compound is the American cemetery and the  wealthiest influential families living in Forbes Park leading out to the metro sub-urban metropolis the Ayala-Zobel Corporation located in Makati which is the wealthiest part of the Philippines.

However, due to many wealthy developers wanting to turn Fort Bonifacio into a global economy and eradicate poverty (hmm...poverty? another story brewing) Fort Bonifacio has turned into GLOBAL CITY. Modern edifices, modern buildings and skyscrapers they are now the epitome of luxury, class and immense wealth. What happened to the Philippine Army? I don't know. 

It's been such a long, long  time as in been here in Canada for the past 30 years. 

In 30 years a lot of dramatic changes can happen. Thirty years of so many wonderful memories and unforgettable, shocking mysterious stories accompanied with OMG! I am not in the liberty to confide those stories. I don't even know why those ghostly beings have to be in my life not only in dreams and nightmares. Why I'm the only one who can see them and others cannot? I should had them in novels and in books but what I had  way back then are notebooks, my diaries. It's okay nobody would believe me anyway. My Lola will believe me because of all people she also had the ability to see the "unknowns." However, my dearest Lola already passed away.  Why we are the only blessed humans who can see dead people? Don't tell me we have sixth sense? 

TO BE CONTINUED.

Cravings?

 Did you wake up with goosebumps this morning? You thought you have urticaria eh? Of course big difference though.

Last night, the weather temperature had been lowered to 13 degrees Celsius. Then this morning to only 16 Celsius outside, not inside the house. I know it's getting cooler and hopefully it really gets cooler in the next days to come.

Definitely, I love cooler weather temp than hot weather temperature. I was born on January so it was a Winter month. If you are not born in Canada or the US and other countries with 4 seasons it would be hard to adjust. However, I was born in the Philippines but why I like cold wintery season rather than the hot temperature. Hey, when I was in the Philippines, the weather temperature never goes up to more than 40 degrees Celsius. There's always cooler breeze because of the many trees that sway to the wind and maybe because when it gets hot suddenly the clouds gets darker and then low precipitation happened as if somewhat being dramatic sort of magic that loud thunder and lightning happened like quick silver. lol.  I don't know what it is but maybe just maybe coincidence because I'm a complainer of hot weather. Cloud-seeding technique was actually used in Philippines that's why as early as World War II.

You can control the weather now you know...but it will be very costly.

Long time ago, the witches are known to have cause the atmospheric events from thunder and lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, storms, typhoons and other darkness above the sky. However because of mankind's greater knowledge when it comes to  astronomy and physics it is now easy and better to understand what's going on without the need to refer to "it's the witches who did it." 

Science the unfinished business.

You think angels are for real too eh? Hmm, maybe there are angels. Why not? Why blame the witches when we can have angels.

It's now 23 C. outside and 23 C in the house. Wow! Okay hope it wont go up to 30 C. We don't need a weather temp higher than 30 Celsius especially in Vancouver Island.

My sister and brother-in-law dropped by and brought some fresh veggies: zucchinis, snow peas and beans. Good, thanks! I'm planning to cook pork sinigang today for lunch. We had long conversation but they wont stay for lunch nor for snacks for they will go to BC Access Office to process something. 

What to do next? After lunch, clean the kitchen, dishwashing, done with vacuuming early morning. Maybe watch the Chinese soap drama and the Filipino comedy 30 minute program "Abroad" hosted by Filipina-Canadian Isabel (who has facial resemblance with former Philippine Pres. Gloria Arroyo). 

Afternoon nap maybe next and maybe blog and browse the internet. 

Make some fruit milkshakes.

I had fresh cherries and bananas, frozen blueberries the day after. It was refreshingly good. 

I haven't try apricot for milkshakes. Maybe I will try it for next time.

Watermelon for milkshakes? Hmm, maybe not! I think watermelon is great for having it just the way it is, serve it fresh, sliced.

Blueberries always my choice for milkshakes and Chapman's brand for ice cream.

 

The Blame Game

 It is the first day of the month of August 2022. Just two days ago when I noticed that the neighbor across the street had their stuff outside their yard. I wonder why. What happened? In the Philippines, I usually get across the road, or across the street and asked the neighbors what's going on and or what is happening just to be of help or just be curious. However, in Canada is different. We don't know anything about neighbors. We don't know their names nor we chat on the yard or wave hands with neighbors. Everyone's busy with something else. BUSY, busy, busy to be curious about almost everything as in communication is mostly through computers, cellphones and social networks. You get to talk to neighbors just within steps or five steps outside from your door to the next door if you live in an apartment or townhouses or you are the townhouse manager or caretaker. We once a townhouse manager/caretaker/maintenance doing all the works for 31 unit townhouse and one apartment (20 units + 2 houses) we get to know our tenants names and their problems. I am not in the liberty to tell their private lives even if I have the blog and that could be the best long novels ever just like what others are doing in another website.

Husband is retired from managing townhouses and apartments. It's not an easy job. There were times when we can no longer sleep because of other people's problems and the conflict that arise seem never ending.

Now about the neighbors across the street. This is the third time now (since we moved here at the apartment) that the house was emptied of its tenants.Again? 3rd time in a row? Those tenants never even been there for one year. What's wrong with that house? So, from reliable source, this is few of the facts gathered: The house is only 2 bedrooms with 1 1/2 bathrooms, and the monthly rent is $2,500. WHAT????? It is an old house for God sake! It's small and the yard front, back yard is really small not enough for them to do lawn mowing or landscaping. It has no garage or storage/workshop. $2,500 per month is way above the line. 

$2,500/month = P107,500 

You know what that money gives you in Philippines? A high class luxury, condominium unit (3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms) with swimming pool, gym, video arcade, shopping mall at the lobby, cinema, restaurants and pubs within that vicinity.

It's crazy to be living here in Canada. What's going on with our economy? High inflation and recession about to be felt sooner than later?  Hey, its recession already in the US of America.

What can we do? Who we have to blame?
