Poison Ivy on Laundry Soap?

 Am I the only human who can experience about laundry detergents having the "poison ivy effect?" It seems that the side effect of using laundry soap and or detergent are so harmful now to human skin and that include those fabric softeners. 

Those people or humans who are tough and have thick skin are not affected.

Could be that they don't wash their clothes with laundry soap and detergent nor use fabric softener at all.

Maybe they only wash their clothes with water.

Yeah people, humans out there, are stingy or being frugal.

I advised my daughter to pour in only 1/4 cup of laundry liquid soap (not 1/2 cup not even 1 cup for full load) every time she use the washing machine. Harmful ingredients are very common in laundry soap/detergent. Very harmful chemicals. The perfume content could blow your minds and that's why some people are suffering from headaches not only allergic reactions.

For their advertisement the product being commercialized as in OXI or Rainfall? What the hell. Acid rain? Like having those jellyfish detergent contents? Wow! No wonder allergy causing detergents they are eh? Manufacturers of such allergy causing products are evil. They should try them for their own use. Hay naku! daming contravida dito. They should warn their customers about poison ivy contents.

So beware!

UPDATE: According to the survey I read that you don't need to have fabric softener sheet every time you have your clothes on dryer machine. It's the fabric softener sheet that caused the allergy.

 OUR TV will be very busy from July 26 to August 11 due to the popular demand of the 2024 OLYMPICS GAMES in PARIS, FRANCE.

You know that my family esp. my husband likes watching Sports and Games. There are particular games would like to watch of course such as: Archery, Shooting, Breakdancing, Rock climbing, Gymnastics, Swimming, Synchronize swimming, Diving, Skateboarding. 

So far, CANADA won Silver medal in Swimming c/o Summer McIntosh.

Then friend of ours told us that there's a new movie that we have to watch so maybe we'll watch it after lunch. What to cook anyway? Do we have left-over from last night's supper?

Hmm... check the fridge... oh we have left over bowl of munggo with pork/shrimps and beef meatloaf. I only have to cook rice and add egg sarciado.

Nothing much to report here. All is well. The weather temp. today (17 C.) is much cooler than previous days.  I hope the wildfire in Jasper was put off already and there's no more wildfire in the news. Ghee who wants wildfire news? Who are benefited from those wildfires? The backdraft movie?

In the past, the wicked humans used typhoons and floods for influx migration. The illegal migrants used such disaster to "blend in other countries." I just hope and pray those wildfires are not used for such "blending in disguised."

But you know, there's nothing that we can do if the government allowed such thing to happen. Adding extra population to a country has its own benefit and has its own negativity. 

+ -      THE RULE OF INTEGERS

Is it the rule of invaders?

Mathematical Equation

Have you been watching the latest episodes of BIG BROTHER USA?

Angela is the first HOH. She was the oldest woman in the participants or houseguests then she won the HOH, everybody likes her as their own "Mama." However, Matt is not that close to her and never suck up to her and she was upset. Angela's paranoia started when she was wide awake that night unable to sleep that even "The Collective Group" whom she suspected was against her. Angela is having that split personality episode (for real or scripted?) that she came down from the stairs having a mad moment speech and Matt is her target having"crazy eyes." Angela it's you who looked crazy! Anyway, I think Matt was just a sacrificial lamb for Kenney who is a secret cop who was chosen for eviction by Angela. 

Don't you like playing the game of CHESS? The Olympic Games Committee should add Chess in its next Olympic Games.

Widescreen TV

 It seems that July is becoming much colorful month this year as in lots of happenings, memorable events and too many controversial issues not only for individual account but for so many in general. You are always a part of every occasion, event and opportunity where it happen domestically or out there in foreign lands simply because you have TV 

Widescreen TV brings the almost cinema effect.

 Recently watch the science fiction movie: iROBOT.

How robots are created to amaze us in scientific ways and how those robots followed directions obediently as they are programmed by their scientist creator and how one robot disobeyed the program and laws instructed to its program? 

 
 

How a human would like to have control against robots.

How iRobot became a "human-like robot  informed of what a human should act and behave?" Impossible, unbelievable right? One of a kind. This is not just another terminator movie. It is AI or Artificial Intelligence inspired movie.

Then later, watch another free movie: BATTLESHIP.  Another science-fiction war against robots from alien world. Wow! This movie is rocking high with its music. Loud  rock music for that adrenaline rush to battle with aliens. Great! This is the kind of movie that you would like to watch again and again. 

Blockbuster hit movie BATTLESHIP c/o You Tube

WHATEVER Is Not Clueless

For whatever reason my blog topic today was deleted by the bot. Who are you AI Bot? What is your true purpose in the internet? Are you a disguised NAZI?

Although I AM THE WRITER of my blog don't want to be the self centered human here. My blog has a heart, mind and spirit.  I blog whatever that suits me for the day.

Recently the news on TV has something that offended so many people when somehow, new conflict arise when somebody from Canadian Soccer Team had flew their drone above the air space of the new Zealand Team. Really? Why? Spying? I don't think so!  Maybe the drone was actually to look after their own team but you know when you are not in control of your drone they get carried away by the wind to farther away your own territory. Or maybe somebody from their team had a crush on one of the athletes. lol. Well who knows? You can do that with cellphones right if their cellphones have zoom lens. Whatever! Just maybe trying to put stress, pressure and tension to the game at the OLYMPIC GAMES venue in Paris, France. 

UPDATE: Two staffer from CST were sent home.

Speaking of stress and tension. Sewing project recently:

 

 Stress, pressure & tension @ Formula (1) One?

Just like what happened in 2024 Hungary Olympic Games. What happened to Verstappen? What corner they are talking about? Ha ha ha! Oh hungry? RED BULL GIVES YOU WINGS!

Just Be Aware!

 There are so many blogwiters who blog about their everyday lives as it is that blogs are supposedly about daily task, daily lives almost like DIARY of the authors of blogs. Some of us had no more secrets and their daily opinions, remarks and day to day encounter with their family, neighbors and friends matter to them. However there are blogwriters who are into gossiping about mostly of their neighbors within their apartments and within their village.

Wow! That's what some people are up to sometimes, rumors, gossip make the world go round too. Like you are the newscaster, news reporter within your village. Then suddenly, violence just happened and you stop gossiping about those people in your community. Some humans get unhappy, fearful about their lives. Politicians are being targeted and their security becoming tight.

I know there are more stories out there. That's why it is better to talk about what you are doing. The vida in your blog is you, the writer. It's not the other people.

If you start talking or writing about your neighbors you gave them the chance to do something that you wont like. That's why I don't talk or write about my neighbors or seldom I wrote about my friends or anybody but hey, I tried to create novels but they are mostly FICTION. Writers have great imaginations. Use your imaginations purposely to great extent.

Then when it is about the truth... I had stories about the past. Of course I am the VIDA in my own stories about the TRUTH. I cannot help fooling myself that's why it is worthy telling about the facts, the truth of the past more like HISTORY IN THE MAKING.

Now if I have to add more truth why not watch news on TV when it comes to politics. What those newscasters are newscasting maybe of help adding what you know and what others can learn from your opinion. If you don't know what's going on just ask. You cannot live on fear and you cannot live without knowing and aware of your surrounding. Awareness is the key.

IT'S NOT OVER YET

 LISTEN ATTENTIVELY TO YOUR ELDERS when they are talking to you for you will learn a lot from them. They have more knowledge and experience. They know more than you can imagine.

As far as I remember... long long time ago. I know my stories are almost like never ending. Well blogs are like that. Every post or composition has a new story different from one another or interlink with other blog stories from another blog. 

So this is the story: I was watching a blockbuster TV series  "V sci-fi " 

 

on our old Sylvania TV bought by our Lola in 1972, our grandma actually is my Lola.  When my Lola interrupted me about something that has something to do with television and the story of invasion.

She told me about what TV can do to you and your vision. She told me lots of things that I don't even believe because she was old and I don't believe that there's even TV during her childhood. Is there television already in the 1940's or 1920's?  Okay, FYI my grandmother was born on 1912. 

YEAR 1912 - what kind of technology the world had and what kind of appliances being used that period of time? Were they using modern appliances before World War II? 

The first American Army Hospital was built in Fort McKinley in 1912 ( FORT MCKINLEY had changed and replaced with several names  from Fort Bonifacio, Rizal, Fort, Bonifacio Makati,  now Global City Philippines)

If the world had submarines, tanks, luxurious ships for travel, airplanes, telephones before World War II probably there were televisions but without sounds. Most movies were without sound re: Charlie Chaplin movies. 

My Lola told me that they had a "radiophono" where they can listen to the news and play music before WWII.  Their family owned large tract of land for agricultural purposes: coconut plantation and rice fields. They owned a huge house because her husband wanted a large family who can help them with the "hacienda." However, when the Japanese invaded Philippines, the high ranking officer forced  them out from their home and the whole villagers were then forced out away and fled to the nearest mountain. They had to flee out of fear because the invaders were killing so many Filipinos if they were not followed or disobeyed those evil invaders who happened to be ruthless and without remorse for human life. My Lola and her whole family had to live up in the mountain. My mother was just a child, but she remembered that their elementary school was run by the Japanese soldiers and the flag being raised was the Japanese flag. If you don't bow down, you are hit with a wooden stick or slap on the face. If you fight back you will be beheaded. They were so quick with their sharp samurais. Oh my LONG STORY. 

Sorry, I have a very long memory.

If you have seen Japanese American War and American-Japanese-Filipino War movies you'll find out for yourself what kind of HISTORY way back then. HORRIBLE indeed.

The WAR had proven to be very traumatic for so many humans on Earth. My grandmother's PTSD had been documented by me. Her trauma had been recorded in my memory for such a very long time. It never goes away. 

That's why in my story here lingers that famous American nurse "White Lady" who was hanged in that Army Hospital, the ceiling was so up high, she didn't commit suicide. It's impossible. I think she was murdered by the Japanese invaders!

Oh well, what are we doing that our stories are worthy of reading?

You must always be honest and truthful about what you are writing because who you are to fool with. 

HISTORY is about what life is all about. Learn from it and make sure the mistakes of the past is not being repeated again and again. 

As usual, my blog is still on DRAFT MODE and some hackers already had them for their own alternative motive. They thought I don't know and not aware. I know what you are doing dudettes. I just let it happen. You know why? I want to know how many TRUE HUMANS are left on planet Earth who are still "human" in the truest sense with loving and compassionate heart, humans with conscience with remorse. There are more demons and animalistic unkind brutal savage creatures walking among us.

 

  WATCH OUT.

BE CAREFUL. The manhunt for the NAZI & LUCIFER IS NOT OVER YET.

 

 

Memories

 I was able to get out of my comfort zone, lol. Two hours with new friends having fun about matters to us for the time being, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the nice air breeze at L's backyard having our sumptous, delicious meal for lunch. There were moments of awe, old memories of the past, life over 60, over 70 and about health. No regrets whatsoever. The food is great actually prepared by our host that lovely Thursday and together with these lovely ladies what to ask for? I think found good friends in them. Well, looks like we are the "New Golden Girls." 

Now, I'm thinking whether have to dye my hair platinum or just dye my hair jet black. Hmm... I'm from the Brown race so better have black hair. I don't think platinum or blonde hair suits me with my short nose. 

Platinum or silver hair suits well with my Mother because she's mestiza. I am not mestiza! I am not dark-skin complexion but don't consider myself "White." I'm not Chinese!!!

This is me when I took this picture as soon as I get home from that lunch with new friends: L,J,and M. Husband was there sitting at the background. Later, I joined him and watched the movie "Space Cadet."

Already 61 years old year 2024 and wishing wont grow old but hey everybody grows old right?

Year 2021

Year 2022. You wont believe I designed and sewed this gorgeous zabrina-style blouse.

Year 2013. I was wearing the V-shaped stylish  blouse given by my friend. I have a very long hair here measured 32 inches long. I was thinking of growing my hair to about 50 inches but how much shampoo would it cost me, hmm.

Year 2012. Black clothing is one of my favourite because it makes me look thin and slim. The pink bandanna on my hair is when I don't feel like using hair clip.

Year 2005? Wait a minute... I think this is year 2000. I had a haircut don't really like to but my employer wanted everyone at work to have short hair. So, this is me looking like a boy. Somebody at the workplace teased me "I'm from High School or one of the HS students doing volunteer work. LOL. Opsi not really funny.

I have too many photos simply because I love photography. If its not my loving daughter who photographed me, then it is me or my husband. 

I have my good mood. When I'm in the best of mood my photos seemed to look better but sometimes of course it has something to do with the "lighting" and or the brand of camera used by the photographer. 

The latest cellphones and webcams can do justice too. Why? Its because sometimes they don't need flash to edit dim lights or darker sides.

The Power Of Money

 The last time I saw the price of gas in Vancouver Island is at C$ 177.79 full tank (1.77 liter). That bad? Actually it was lowered from C$199 from last week. 

High inflation and High cost of commodities are to be blamed from the high price of gas and oil. Why you may ask. Rather, THE HIGH COST OF GAS & OIL the cause of high inflation and high cost of living.

Simply because the shipping and distribution of goods and services, the supply chain that matters. Everything in this world is powered by gas and oil. Hydro is also powered by gas and oil. Machines and machinery powered by gas and oil. Electricity is powered by gas. You think electricity is powered by lightning? You can trap and stored lightning just like what NIKOLAI TESLA did. Eureka you have an EV. Well you can use stored energy through the use of high powered batteries. Can EV runs without battery? LOL. Can flashlight give lights without battery? Of course not.

Its always been that way. In the 70's as I remember when businesses in the Philippines started closing down or shut down... The long queue of people everywhere from supermarkets, gas stations, motor pool for safe drinking water because water pipes were cut off, bank runs that made those bank customers in panic. Panic buying and looting so rampant everywhere. Chaos upon chaos. There's no war but severe economic distress could lead the economy of certain country in turmoil almost like in the brink of war.

The Philippines had only one solution but to befriend the Arabs and get gas and oil from them. Former First Lady IRM had to buy oil and gas from Saudi Arabia or else millions of Filipinos will suffer from the burgeoning economic conflict. In return, millions of OFWs suddenly were in demand in the Middle East. Philippines most professional certified  health care workers, construction workers, engineers, architects, domestic helpers were then sent to work abroad. What happened then was the creation of ultramodern mecca in the heart of desert lands. Now look at what transformed from the humongous land of sands...mostly skyscrapers! From Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Kuwait, and where all the sand goes? You think of all that happened was war. WAR SOMETIMES IS CALLED INFRASTRUCTURE. 

How all these infrastructure bridge together is to the remarkable mind boggling acts and power of money. Money can move mountains. Money can make the world go round and round. You can buy a piece of the moon and have your name on it. You can go to Mars if you like.

Money can buy you happiness. Anybody who says money is evil? Hey, even the Church and its preacher and clergy need money! The Church and its body also need budget for food, health, maintenance, cleanliness, sanitation, security, and beautification. Stop the hypocrites, they are just vile, wicked and evil.

I'm not trying to make VIDA of myself. This is my blog and I decide what to blog. I am not even doing this for the sake of making myself popular because you know some people have different kind of understanding details. The opportunity to learn here is FREE and if you think you are being informed and you learn from it you must be thankful. If your mind is set to believe that what you are getting here is such a baloney of info then something is wrong with you. Maybe you need mental assessment. There are different types of human, there are the TYPE A & TYPE B. Choose your type.

Justice Will Prevail

 You probably know what happened last Saturday because the whole world knew what really happened last Saturday because the news was newscasted on LIVE on TV when the former Pres. Donald J. TRUMP was shot on stage in Butler, Pennsylvania by a lone gunman, 20 year old Thomas Matthew Crooks and was then considered by investigators as attempted assassination and the bullets had killed a Fire Chief and wounded two others. Shocking as it may seem that violence is always visible in the USA. It's more like breaking news in the US has something to do with gun violence. If its not assassination and assassination attempt, most of the time its a deranged humans having gun rampage and massacre in schools (re: Columbine Massacre) and in  department stores. 

SHOOTING where it happened. Sometimes have to think it was some sort of movie or tv shooting? But it's not movie or tv shooting. It is just gun violence and hate so rampant and visible in countries where gun is almighty. 

No matter how authorities prevent people from owning guns, some people would rather own guns to protect their families and livelihood. Probably had seen movies of John Wayne when John took away guns from his cowboys, gun less and unable to avenge their own master from the bandits. Also the Patriot movie of Mel Gibson when Americans were left without guns... ax is the next best thing according to Abraham Lincoln. Oh well, they are vampire hunters!

The news happened as fast as some people were able to recover and united as one in Republican way. Now the former POTUS has formed a new coalition MA SA (Make America Safe Again) and had new VP named JD Vance. Who is JD Vance? He is the author of hit novel " Hillbilly Elegy," also a movie (starring Amy Adams). He was a former military man who fought in Iraq, a grad of YALE University and a lawyer. There you are, Mr. Trumps always surrounded by lawyers. He should have lawyers office. I mean Mr. trump should own a LAW OFFICE. It's a good business. You can help so many people.

 

I have an uncle who is a lawyer and cousin's son who is a lawyer and own a law office with at least 15 young, smart competitive intelligent lawyers who work for their company. It's always about LAW and JUSTICE FOR ALL.

Beware: Love Your Work

 Yung maraming nainis sa iyo dahil tinamaan sila sa katamaran nila. LOL. Kasi naman pulos show off lang naman yung iba dyan. Magtrabaho kayo kung binabayaran kayo. Huwag yung patamad-tamad. Yung feeling mo magaling ka dahil sa reference mo. Hindi dapat ganun. Gamitin mo yung utak mo. Yung feeling mo lagi kang "superior" eh talo ka pa nung mga HS grad lang. Yung feeling mo alam mo lahat pero may codigo ka lang. Yung feeling mo ang galing mo  pero yung skills mo luma na kailangan na ng upgrade. Aminin mo na sobra lang ang pashow off mo, tamad ka at panay lang ang dakdak mo. Grabe!

Anyway, magalit na kayo kung magalit. Kung tamad ka at wala kang alam tumahimik ka na lang.

 

NOTE Update: May mga nagalit nga! Hindi naman para sa kanila ang message na ito. What's wrong with them? Pag walang name sa post ko then assume na hindi kayo yun. TAMAD ka ba? 

 

I know too much violence out there. When they get mad you must cool off and think twice before you react. Everyone should love their work especially if they are paid. Watch your work like a hawk. Anybody can steal your work. There's a long line up of new workers who are willing to steal your jobs. It's not about how good looking, pretty you are or the qualifications you have. It is not about who you are affiliated with. It is about who you are and what you can be of help and the benefits that come within being associated with you. It's about YOU not them. 

It's about YOU, a human being with feelings, not plastic, not a mannequin and not a robot.

It's about YOU with a physical body, heart and mind. You have great personality, with conscience with remorse. How intelligent are you? Are you a great asset to the company?

The Signs of Bougainvillea

 For the past few days my bougainvillea is showing "different signs" because of how fast those extensions are... branches growing like crazy looking like a scare crow then sometimes its more like winged creature.

Please, please bloom some flowers, pretty please...

And the branches are becoming more angelic... eh?

I am not sure what's the NEXT SIGN from my enigmatic bougainvillea.

Whatever! I'm not blind yet. I'm just having fun with flowerless bougainvillea.

BLOGWRITERS ARE UNPAID LOBBIES

Okay, the machines doesn't like what I am posting that it was deleted right away because the subject is about AI or Artificial Intelligence and the AI Bot don't like being discarded.

Look, I am creative even without a machine. I can write, draw, paint and do my crafts without a machine.

How AI help anybody is by using AI machines (Computers, laptops, iPads, Cellphones) to do the posting here easy and convenient.

It is not AI dictating what's in my mind because I HAVE A MIND OF MY OWN.

What happened to Stephen Hawking is powered by an AI.

That's one particular phenom that leads to AI being recognized as a whole.

You as a normal human being capable of thinking and using your own creativity is being helped by AI by keeping your post in  "storage" or recording what you have written.

Its not that the AI is the one who compose your written works. That's impossible.

Yes there are too many BOTS in the internet. Automatic bots. They are unpaid bots. BLOGGERS are unpaid blogwriters but are they bots? Absolutely not. The AI Bots have something to do with technical issues.

WE ARE THE UNPAID LOBBIES.

LOVING THAT UNPAID? Well at least our brains are working, right? There are too many workers out there who are not working but they are paid. They don't know they are being observed.

AUTHOR OF BOOKS

Well, well, well my blog post today is not to the liking of the "hackers" LOL. Okay no garden story today. Don't you like something positive today? Why always happy about negativity? What's wrong with you guys? Do you like people being mad and angry all the time? What  the hell you want WAR all the time?

I don't really like politics as a topic or subject for my blog.

Is PEN MIGHTIER THAN A SWORD?

According to Dr. Jose P. Rizal, "Pen is mightier than a sword."

Two remarkable novels: EL FILIBUSTERISMO & NOLI ME TANGERE available in Spanish, English and Tagalog version.

Curious? You should read these two novels for it will enlighten your hearts and minds.

Dr. Jose Rizal was a literary genius. He caused to inflame rebellion against Spain and the Spaniards including the Spanish friars were threaten when their graft and corruption were revealed. Superiority complex is what those "involved" that led them to execute the man, the genius, the hero.

Nothing much to conclude as in supposedly my relax time. 

Anyway, all of a sudden a pen was missing on the nurses's desk. I don't know what happened and where the pen goes. It turned out the pen was inside one of the nurse's pocket.

She asked me if I do it? 

What??? What is she talking about? I don't have NIKE. I have FILA. Ahahahaha. LOL

OMG! I don't know what she is asking me about as I was busy watching THE MUMMY starring Brendan Fraser & Rachel Weiss.

Later I continued to read the novel of Wilbur Smith's THE GOLDEN LION. 

 

Mercury Rising

 OMG! It's now 34 degrees Celsius freaking hot! What a life we have here in Canada when it's hot it is really HOT!! Sweat it out. You can fry an egg on the ground. You can probably fry a beef steak.

Actually it took only 6 hours to dry a soakin' wet thick area rug carpet outside the yard. 

Well, maybe this long hot weather is just for one week.

I'd better clean our electric fan and fix our 2 lanterns.

I couldn't believe that those expired batteries would work on that one particular lantern. What a miracle.

People are using too much energy this week that who knows if there will be black out. 

Anyway hope for the best and enjoy sunshiny days!

DAN BROWN'S Deception Point

 ORIGINAL: DECEPTION POINT

According to DAN BROWN

Deception Point?

 The local temperature yesterday went up high 33 degrees Celsius. OMG!! It was unbearably so hot! I remember that I have to pressure wash our living room's area rug carpet. I also washed and cleaned my pair of sneakers. Why not waste the hot humid weather. I was thinking of pressure washing the patio chairs and chair pads but that can wait for another day. Hey, you'll never know how hot the next day eh.

Finally, it's good to read another blogwriter's trauma with the long covid as he is back into action. Why that long covid? How the hell covid can last up to more than 200 days? The worse thing is this happened to humans that were vaccinated 4x. Something is scary or somewhat fishy with that mRNA vaccine. Don't you think so?

Then you have those people who happened to watch an interview with the current Pres. of USA by a journalist. How candid those interviews. Good enough. Is it LIVE interview. Interviews on TV are sometimes  being edited before public viewing. Sometimes the interview has a SCRIPT. Scripted for the delight of public scrutiny. People hate Trump and they like Biden for not being immoral. Trump didn't cause any war. He could but he did not. He is not the cause of so many deaths from wars.

Have you been a billionaire? Have you been an owner of a hotel and casino?  A lot of temptations happened in those two outlets. There are notorious different kinds of people roaming around in and out of hotels and casinos. Too many gamblers! there are too many opportunists, people with lots and tons of money, humans without money, call girls, porn stars, spies, starlets, movie stars, singers, famous and infamous humans, sinners and saints. There are despicable people whose gambling has no bounds they even gamble their own kids or wives in order to have money for gambling. 

Have you read the Bible? Jesus Christ was surrounded by all these notorious despicable humans. I mean Jesus was also surrounded by demons.

In Politics? Politicians are also surrounded with the same type of humans. Demons? have you seen one?

What is Pres. Biden surround of? He is a good man and of no grounds to convict him of immorality. Really? He is not a flirt? He's been kissing women not his wife in every campaign. Well, some people don't know what morality is. 

There are too many laws such as the marriage between men to men and or marriage of two women... That's immorality but they passed the law to have that legal. THAT'S IMMORAL. Legalizing abortion that's IMMORALITY. Approval of immoral acts and who approved that? Then they are guilty of immorality. Humans who had sexual intercourse before marriage that's immoral. Too many hypocrites!

How are we to surround them with robots and AI? LOL. J/K

Pres. Trump is Republican. What Republicans are known for? They symbolized the Elephants. They are the PATRIOTS.

Pres. Biden is a Democrat. What Democrats are known for? They are the Donkeys!

FISH

 A friend of my husband dropped by to visit and brought us some whole salmons: sockeye & chinook. Wow! Thanks Andy!!How nice of him being generous. The two friends used to go fishing before the pandemic hit and before the price of gasoline had raised its horn. The pricey gas is just too much for the boat to take with just little amount of fish out there in the ocean and there are prohibition of what you cannot fish such as sockeye and coho for certain period of time. You can buy them from the supermarket though. You can catch pink salmons more than other species of salmons. 

Why there's not enough fish in BC Waters? What's going on?

Where those fishes are hiding?

Don't tell me the BC Ocean is getting warmer? Or just that the fish pens are getting most of the species from the hatchery.

I haven't visited the hatchery and the fish pens yet. Oh, I remember seeing the local  hatchery when my kids were still in Elementary, during the field trip and that was 21 years ago.

What to do with the salmon? Maybe baked it with mayo or grill it with lemons and butter. Yum!

Growing Old Is Mandatory For Humans

 Wide awake at 4 am. It happens to me most of the time if I went to bed early at 8pm or at 9pm. It's okay, got too many things in my mind. I have something to do such as: moving the box with old books and journals in another room so that we can place some stuff from that closet. We don't have much room to spare here at home because we don't have a garage. That's what living in a townhouse, they only offer open air parking area.

After breakfast, watched the latest news from our TV. Same old story except the news about the "bad night" situation between former US Pres. Trump & current US Pres. Biden. Oh well, so many unhappy people in America.

Politics is not really my forte. It's up for the Americans to decide what is best for them. 

RETIREMENT is mandatory in every country in the world and retirement age is 65 years old. It depends what retirement age is for other people in other countries. If you are mentally and physically healthy you can work as long as you want especially if you own your company. The policy is different in private corporations for there is that protocol, requirements and qualifications they must abide most of the time. 

What's the problem why some people cannot retire its because: Some people don't really feel old and they are healthy enough to work. Some people love working. They want to make use of their time purposely and effectively as much as possible. If they are still mentally sharp even if they are over 65 years of age why not let them work.

However, age is determining factor for "certain job category."

Some people must enjoy retirement, relax and not be a casualty to other people or other workers within the core group. When it's time to retire... it is time whether you like it or not. 

NOTHING IS WRONG WITH BEING RETIRED... Except that your income is fixed.

You know what those retirees should advocate?

 RETIREMENT PLANS to increase OAS & PENSIONS.  Or is it something to do with RRSP?

Growing old is mandatory. Those government officials will soon retire and nobody, no one has ever improve the retirement plans for the pensioners. No wonder some old people cannot retire even if they are already 85 years old. 

While stepping down or to resign from a job usually is not a sign of a cowardice, simply you have guts and courage to do so for your own happiness and peace of mind.

JUST LIVE and stop being annoying.

 Today's my day off and I've been busy in my sewing room trying to fix my sewing kit and organize all the loops of thread entangled with other spools of threads. Then idea sparks and once again am back into my sewing project. Just like that. I should stay away from my sewing machine, ha ha ha!

When I'm done with my project time to do some cooking. I only want a simple meal for lunch: pan friend sunshine eggs, pan fried eggplants and heated left over pancit and steamed rice. Good enough. Dessert: apple crumble with oats. Yum! Husband baked the apple crumble last night. 

Next, have to mop the floor. I used to mop the floor 2x per week with Lysol disinfectant. Our house not really filthy enough to be cleaned everyday. It's just that the floor tiles at the kitchen and bathrooms looked dirty because of its color. When we first moved here that was my project of cleaning, scrubbing the tiles like crazy with different types of cleaning solution from "big blue," dutch cleanser, baking soda, lysol. I tried other cleaning solution but the stained tiles  have no solution after all. It's just that its color is "dirty." Those tiles are manufactured in that dirty stained condition. 

That's it. The only final solution is to replace the tiles with white tiles or white granite, or just plain wood tiles instead. I gave up. I'm fed up. That maybe is the cause of me being sick.

Anyway, I'm feeling better now that's why sewing is the next best thing.

Worrying is just adding wrinkles to your skin so better enjoy your life while you can. 

 

And the bougainvillea looks like a scarecrow!

My bougainvillea is expanding its branches, more growth and look at those healthy  leaves bigger than usual. I don't know when will this precious bougainvillea blooms its beautiful flowers...nagtampo sya.

Husband being good neighbor doing yard work once again for free every week since mid Spring. Hey it's already summer eh? We should have a discount for renting here at the townhouse. lol 

And what happened to my pet... ha ha ha! My neighbor's pet actually.

Look at my cutie pie. Always that stunning adorable Echo babe!!

Notorious hugger and kisser!!💋

She's coming... she's coming and she's gonna kiss you!

Our home is her home. She is tenacious, always athletic like a K-9, playful, curious and alert. Ever watchful, barks at strangers, sits on top of the couch or at my husband's shoulder looking like a falcon. When its time to take a nap she will sit right behind my husband's back of the neck and warm herself. I know that's so strange for a pup. Maybe she thought she's a cat! j/k

 

 That's my girl!! Photogenic as always.

 

I don't know what she's  thinking now and don't ask me what's new. 

 

Such a boring question of WHAT's NEW?  

Everything in this world is old.

 You want something new go seek the other planet.

 GOOD LUCK!

 

Game Theory

 How are we to celebrate CANADA DAY? 

Are you truly loyal patriotic Canadians? If you are... you should respect and celebrate the existence of your country as you therefore exist within this country.

No Ifs no buts. It is your country! Show your allegiance to the country you were born with in the first place as we the Permanent Residents should not be resident evil about this country that make us who we are, law abiding and free.

Only in Canada where my knowledge and skills about Economics had multiplied. The country where GAME THEORY is applied more often than not. Where dealing with conflict have alternative strategies analyzed in the most skillful way and what more with stimulation for coded heuristics. Well it is not as complicated as the enigma, that's for sure. 

Easy to understand. Conveniently coded to be comprehended by bureaucratic.

Anyway, who am I to be understood. lol

Kidding you not my forte. 

HAPPY CANADA DAY!! 

HAPPY 157th BIRTHDAY CANADA!💋🙌👼👼
