Wake Me Up When It's Over

 FOODS GALORE. SMORGASBORD. CHINESE BUFFET or STEAM TABLE on CHINESE NEW YEAR. 

SURE THING! Chinese foods most sought after during Chinese Lunar New Year. It is a spectacle of authentic Chinese cuisines of course.

My family's not Chinese but we celebrate Chinese New Year. Why not? We eat Chinese-Filipino foods most of the time from pancit noodles, lumpia (springrolls), curry, deep fried prawns, steamed fish with sliced ginger and soya sauce and lime juice, sweet and sour pork to chop suey, seafood hot pot, etc.

This year, we had pork dumplings/mushrooms (potstickers), steamed gaylan/broccoli with oysters sauce + steamed rice+ chicken curry with prawns and veggies, pancit.

 

What I had for my birthday you may asked.

My family, friends and sister Emmy & Bro. Romy had:

Italian pasta primavera + Chicken/macaroni/apple/pineapple/raisins/cheese/mayo salad+ Lumpia + Blueberry/carrot/cinnamon cake + cherry cheesecake 

 

 That's it,  so simple meals. Remember that frugality, being frugal is the best option now when the high cost of living is such an ordeal. 

The looming Tariff threat still in effect and don't know whether TRUMP is a Trump card being played again and again. 

Please STOP boring us. We must all hibernate for now and wake up when the best of times is here to stay or when the GAME is  OVER.

 

BREAKING NEWS: Deadly Mid-Air Collision in Washington D.C.

 WHERE'S THE SNOW? Wonder where the snow this morning... seems like the weather forecast is wrong from yesterday or just that wind can change the outcome. Or the ground is warm and the snow melts right away.

That only means weather is still unpredictable whether high technology plays a part or not. 

In today's time more than ever... who knows what tomorrow brings and what BREAKING NEWS had it from CNN News Network, CBC NEWS, GLOBAL, CTV, City News 24/7. At first couldn't believe about a deadly mid-air collision in Washington DC where US Airplane jet with 60 passengers and 4 crews had collided with a Blackhawk helicopter carrying 3 military men on training exercises within Potomac River.

According to Experts, normal routine military training flight on that area. However, the arrival of the jetliner carrying 60 passengers (mostly Figure Skaters & their family members and two World Figure Skaters from Russia, according to the latest news) accidentally hit the helicopter. In that particular scene another plane was on the right side, upper sky (don't know if that plane was ascending or on departure).

It happened at night and it was DARK. Less visibility. Only bright lights can be seen on the video of the plane and helicopter. Lights on the landing runway. Potomac River is dark and without lights except those rescue  boats with lights on them.

Everything's under investigation. First responders had dive deep down to the frigid cold Potomac river to retrieve fallen bodies from the wreckage of  the plane and helicopter. The helicopter was seen submerge on balmy cold water of the river. 

How the hell an accident or this tragic collision happened when the control tower people should know better to have "control" of the ins and out: arrival and departure of any air craft from above space or through the tarmac. Well, better find out the black box and all the transmissions before the impact.

CONDOLENCE to the families of the tragic deadly collision which could had never happened according to the POTUS. 

ACCIDENTS ARE PREVENTABLE as it always been advertised on TV screen in Canada. Some things are just beyond control and what had just happened HAPPENED and the blame game? 

Measures, precautionary measures on Transportation and Safety regulations must be checked and regulated so that another tragedy wont happen again.

Can't Help Yourself? PEACE BE WITH YOU!

 CHINESE BLOOD & ANCESTRY. It is said to believed that every Asian country, its own people have Chinese blood running in their veins. 

Wonder why? The era of the Mongolian Empire, the conquest of GENGHIS KHAN & KUBLAI KHAN and Limahong, had their race propagated into ASIA. 

Hmm... can you see and notice that with the inhabitants of China, Vietnam, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, & Philippines? Observe & notice and observe their kind of foods certainly almost there are obvious similarities. Look at their faces. Can you identify similarities and differences?

Most of the basic foods/cuisines of the Filipinos are mostly Chinese foods. Additional variations with their family meals include Spanish foods  introduced when the Spaniards conquered Philippines in 15th Century. It was not actually an invasion because they came through the "pilgrimage" propagating Christianity and the building of the "Cross in Mactan" symbolized the first baptism and from then on every native Filipino was baptized and given the Christian name replacing them to Spanish names. Of course so many Spaniards migrated and lived for hundred years in Philippines not just the Spanish soldiers and friars. As it was noticeable as of today of the Spanish blood that runs in their veins: beautiful, proud and aristocratic.Additional vocabulary in Spanish added to the rich language of the Filipinos.

However, the Chinese blood in most Filipinos hasn't change as their knowledge with the trade and commercialization still mighty proud and the landmarks of trade visible such as the famous Shoemart, Landmark and other structures where their culture and heritage still are very much visible at present generation.

Include the arrival of the Americans in our culture, heritage, custom and new form of Government that according to most Americans, the liberator that FILIPINOS ARE THE BROWN AMERICANS and Americans are always welcome in the Philippines. Fort William McKinley ( Fort Bonifacio - Global City) was the site of the first American cavalry and military camp. It was actually a base for the Americans. You know how large American Cemetery and how large the camp is? Almost a city on the hill because it also covers the Army General Hospital and barracks, and quarters for the military residents,  Manila Polo Club, sprawling Golf Course. Forbes Park Church,  and Forbes Park for the most wealthiest Filipinos and Americans.

FILIPINOS ARE NOW HYBRIDS = Mixed bloods. They can speak two to three languages and can understand different dialects with much ease. They are the best imports in the workplace around the world. They are highly skilled in trades and employable in the Middle East, China, America, and Canada. UNITED NATIONS should vote for the Filipinos as the new PEACEKEEPERS.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

 You are what you eat when you eat Chinese foods most of the time. Can't help yourself?

From GULF OF MEXICO TO GULF OF AMERICA

 This is it folks! If you become a President of the United States there are lot of things, stuff, provisions, policies, new laws, amendments, bills of rights, proclamations that you are entitled to, beneficial or not, crazy and outrageous. It's a great responsibility and the seating elected President should be smart enough to use it wisely and conscientiously with remorse. 

HOWEVER, there are certain peculiar things and ways some of those elected officials can do more harm and the rest of the population couldn't help frown, being unhappy and lavishly opposed to such.

Let us take this for example: Mount Denali was renamed as Mount McKinley to honor the legacy of former US Pres. William McKinley. Then it was replaced and renamed again as Mount Denali by former US Pres. Obama. When Pres. Trump took over presidency, he returned its name to Mount McKinley as it is been known for century. That's okay though because McKinley was one of the great US Presidents.

Then what about this? Gulf of Mexico into Gulf of America. 

Why Pres. Trump would like to rename it as Gulf of America. Look at the map. 

Houston Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Florida are within that gulf. Americans can call it Gulf of America based on its territory. Half and half. Mexicans can call it Gulf of Mexico on their side. Can Cuba call it Gulf of Cuba? Or Guatemalan can call it Gulf of Guatemala? No.

Reason for this maybe because of what's happening between China and Philippines on who has control or having the rights to China Sea because China believes that "China Sea" belongs to them alone as it is written on the map centuries ago that it was "China Sea" not Philippine Sea. 

Well, who was the map maker? ATLAS. Is there somebody else who should be the rightful owner of the EARTH? 

By the way, the GULF OF MEXICO was once the site of the largest crater when it was bombarded with large meteorites and asteroids from wherever they came from...Universe or outside of Galaxy.

FREEDOM FROM THE HOLOCAUST - 80 YEARS SINCE THEN

 POLAND celebrating the 80th year of the HOLOCAUST in AUSCHWITZ. 80 years being liberated from the wicked hands of the NAZI.

ONLY FEW SURVIVORS NOW LIVE TO TELL the horrible, horrendous to survive in Auschwitz.

Many of the survivors horrific stories were then foretold to their families and friends and some of them were made into documentaries, television series and movies. 

The 80th years - Anniversary of the Holocaust were then attended by world leaders and  foreign dignitaries and Jewish family of survivors and next of kin, and the presence of Pres. of Poland and their government officials in Poland. 

THE HARROWING ORDEAL OF THE HOLOCAUST:

1. GENOCIDE - Mass killing or massacre of the Jews: women, men, children. Disregard for human lives whether they are young or old.

2. CRUELTY imposed on people with disability, slow people, mentally insane. Later on they were put to death.

3. SURVIVORS were then housed on filthy, frozen cold buildings deprived of sleep, food on ration or starve them if necessary. Some of them were taken to secret rooms for experiment.

Spanish Blood

 I was at CDF "minding my own business" being quiet and reading OUR DAILY BREAD when I spotted one of the cleaning ladies.  I've been wanting to ask her question about ethnicity but too shy to ask. She's really nice and seems friendly actually so decided maybe time to ask her.

Jessica, "are you part Spanish?" 

She was surprised why I asked her and asked "what made you think I am?" " Is it about my skin color?" she asked again. She's fair skin color actually, maybe part White Caucasian part Spanish. 

Then I told her that it's her face. (The curve of her face and she looks lovely). 

She told me that she is Indigenous. FIRST NATION. 

Feels like she's unhappy about my opinion of her as Spanish lady.

What a Spanish lady or Spanish women looked like?

Do you know MISS UNIVERSE Amparo Munoz? 

Well, that's her the symbol of Spanish beauty! BEAUTIFUL.

Many winners of Miss Universe from the Philippines had been part Filipino part Spanish or with Spanish blood from Gloria Diaz, Margie Moran , etc.  Most  famous Filipino movie actors and actresses had Spanish blood in them that made them popular and hot commodity. 

MIXED RACE or the HYBRIDS are thought to have been one of a kind.

EXISTENCE

 I would like to do my weekend housework however something happened beyond my control. I have to relax, be contented by just sitting down and not to over used my right hand for anything because the new rewiring of my hemodialysis catheter is different from my first catheter. Strange. I must admit that the dialysis machine made no beeping nor having alert warning whenever I move my hands, my body or simply any motion, laughing, cough reflex,  talking ... the machine doesn't have any beep sound anymore. But you know what? The first catheter was fit right through the skin of my chest and didn't see blood drip from the transparent bandage. The first catheter is much better actually. Just that the expert informed me "something is wrong with the machine and those nurses." 

OMG! Cringing from seeing the red blood on my chest! I'm feeling restless and who can relax and be comfy from knowing I have this kind of uncomfortable situation and condition.

Change topic.

Yesterday's my 62 birthday! Yey! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 🙌

 

MY GREAT GRATITUDE first and foremost to our Almighty GOD the Father of Heaven & Earth, then to my ever loving PARENTS for without them wont be here, to all my siblings who never ever forget my birthday, especially to my Sister Emmy who always remember my birthday and always give precious gifts.Warm, gracious and thoughtful greetings from my friends and relatives. Gifts and greeting cards from newfound friends who are remarkably wonderful, cheerful and their life stories vivid and memorable added zest of life to celebrate everyday. 

Once in our lifetime when our own life story not enough without the enrichment of our families and  circle of friends who interact and be a part of our life existence.

May the Lord our God Bless 🙏💓 all of us in our daily endeavour:  to survive, to love to pray and exist.

SO WEIRD DAY TODAY!

 ARE YOU FROM A MIXED RACE as in you are a HYBRID.

Opsi what's wrong with the

When I turned on my computer laptop today, something weird happened. I have to click the Language to be used here whether ENGLISH CANADA or ENGLISH USA. It's always been ENGLISH but have to choose now whether Canada or USA.

Hmm, wonder why. So when I started posting and typing my composition today there is problem with Key Q. The question marks wont appear as in normally as it should be. Using English CANADA has its French lingo that sometimes annoying would make the words you are typing as in wrong spelling.

È  È  Hmm... Apostrophe, question mark end up like this ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ

Apostrophe ÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈÈ   Other punctuation marks èèèèèèèèèèèè  arrow """""" '''''''''''' 

Oh well whatès going onÉ  Wow! Thatè so cheesy ehÉ 

Remember the story of THE TOWER OF BABEL in the HOLY BIBLE?  The builders cannot finish the tower because the builders suddenly cannot understand each other when their languages were different from each other. Confusions arise and the tower was still unfinished until now. Sort of the unfinished business.

OMG! Better use the ENGLISH USA. I know look's like they are playing a stupid game once again don't know why. Why used me for your stupid game?

I don't really like to be politicking again. I hate politics to tell you the truth. Look at what's happening at present time. The political situation in our country and the neighbor country USA are in great chaos. The Californian wildfires not finished yet and after the inauguration of Pres. D. Trump who took his job right away and signed the documents to release the January 6 Rioters who he think are not guilty and therefore must be released from jail. While here in Canada, the politicians here are busy with the nomination for the Liberal Party Leader and it seems that Mr. Mark Carney has the edge from among those candidates running for LPL. The Premiers from the provinces of Canada took the TRUMP Tariff seriously that  they already set up a plan to counter act that very vicious offensive Tariff tax. By the way, heard that Trump included China, that they have to pay 10% Tariff.

How about this folks, did you hear that China is now offering no visa required for tourists wanting to travel to China? Wow!! Is that for real? CHINA is a beautiful country with ultra modern skyscrapers and infrastructures. Of course the Chinese cuisines are tasty and delicious and the people are courteous and friendly.

TIME TO COOK. Tuesday & Thursday my schedule to cook and wonder what's my menu plan for today's lunch and for dinner? Oh, we already had lunch. Everybody's craving for pork sinigang + steamed rice and dessert: ice cream and blueberry/carrot/banana cake, so that's for dinner.

ADIOS FOR NOW! 🙏 GOD BLESS TODAY & TOMORROW and  I hope tomorrow is a brand new day full of hope, bright, sunny and warm.

Do I Looked Like Indigenous?

 

Picture of myself when I was age 27 here. I must admit I had fair skin way back then.

Age 40

Age 50

Age 51

I looked at my photographs. I stared at the mirror of myself ...thinking...

do I looked like an Indigenous?

I am not White Caucasian so maybe I am an Indigenous. LOL 

There is nothing wrong with being Indigenous. Just that those White people probably been from another planet or they were the result of test tube babies or they are living in chlorinated pools. Nah, that's not right! I'm SORRY! My apology for being blunt.  My children are half-white I should not say something like that. How to tackle RACISM is far from over. We live in a world full of unspeakable, unbelievable humans and those scientists are afraid that one day AI will rule over the world and the end of humanity. Of course unless otherwise those idiots will start using their heads and brains and give HUMANITY a chance and be just humans. 

WHAT'S RACISM?

 IT IS GETTING FRIGGIN' COLD each passing day, it seems that winter is truly, really here at Vancouver island. It was negative 1 yesterday and when the sun shines the warmth only listed as 5 Celsius. Today is much colder frost on rooftops, on vehicles, grass, trees and grounds. I hope the sun shines brightly today after 9 am until sunset. 

While neighbors in USA are actually feeling the coldest winter below zero and snow covered roads and highways. Alberta & Ontario had early winter as they experienced snowstorms as early as December 2024.

There are too many stories to tell to my avid readers however that could wait for maybe 8 hours because I have something very important things to do. I cannot cancel it because this could be the answer to that lingering cough which is not caused by colds, flu or anything else. The coughing spells or cough reflex could be the catheter should be replaced or renewed. The procedure requested by ?

Although last night and this morning, I was feeling better as in no cough until I swab my nose with Vicks Vapor rub ointment which is helpful and beneficial. Because the Benadryl liquid form (injected through the tube -catheter) doesn't work anymore and to think that the VICKS had helped me with my coughing. JUST THE COUGHING that really is annoying. I have no colds, no flu, no fever, nothing but cough. It started as I told you during the dialysis Springtime of 2024. My doctor told me that it must be the DRY AIR at the Dialysis Clinic because X RAY result is clear and normal, EENT specialist also stated that the only allergy he diagnosed was POLLEN. 

Pollen is the natural dust in Canada due to dense population of vegetation and we are surrounded by vast forest, so pollen is common here as part of natural habitat. However due to environmental toxicity and the cold climate it is so natural to get sick here once in a while.

I don't know why its hard to explain all these stuff to those people who never ever had studied ENVIRONMENT or SCIENCE or had failed Elementary and High School. They probably did not study Science eh?

At one time, a bad critic asked me why I'm not working. WTH!! Really is that a question? Who would like to employ a person with health disability? It is so strange why her question is somewhat racist because she is not a 100% Canadian. I mean, why so mean? Then she probably thought she is being racist that she was kind of concern about Black people. Hmm... oh really? Girl, please make up your mind. Show your true colors. 

I am from the BROWN RACE... I AM A FILIPINA so I know who are the real bullies, racists and prejudice. I know who are HITLER NAZI and who are fakers. 

STEREOTYPING ABOUT SKIN COLOR? You wont believe what other ethnic groups say about WHITE SKINned people. You wanna know? They are pale and anemic, almost without blood. They sometimes are called VAMPIRES OR DRACULA. Too much soaking on chlorine!! Opsi sorry! Truth hurts.

Insults are treated with laughter or just plain smile. I cannot help fight it with different strategy. Let them be happy with prejudice, bullying and hate. Can't help it...it's the way of life wherever you live. Be open-minded and be just natural. In the HITLER NAZI era, your brains are controlled, rather mind control robots are surely to follow orders without hesitation without regard for righteousness or humanity. Would like such NAZI regime? You don't have a brain of your own? Find your own NAZI in your community.

By the way, I was asked by somebody at the front desk clerk/info desk if I am an indigenous. I was stunned, surprised at first. Then immediately answered, " Hey, I looked like an Indigenous." (You know I wished because I think they are fortunate!). The front desk clerk smiled and chuckled at my answer. Nothing to laugh about. If you are INDIGENOUS YOU ARE SO LUCKY! YOU MUST BE PROUD YOU ARE THE ORIGINAL HUMANS HERE IN CANADA because the rest of us here are just immigrants. YOU HAVE AN AMAZING RACE!! I don't really know why some braggarts are so F' arrogant in paying their dues when they are just immigrants from other countries. 

You know, in the Philippines, we don't discriminate the ethnic Ifugaos in Baguio City. They are our Indigenous people in Philippines and we the Filipinos are so proud of them for creating the famous landmark "Rice Terraces" which is known as the World's Beautiful Spots in the world. It's a world's heritage and known globally all over the world. Our Indigenous people are called our "Ancestors." They are the Elders that we have our respect and gratitude for them that their race and culture including customs are still visible and in existence. Proof and evidence still exist in our present generation. Unlike other races, where they have to excavate and dig deeper to the graves or to the bottom of the sea.

Just like one curious woman had asked why so many Filipinas are married to White Canadians? The groom would spend tens of thousands to 50,000 of dollars to get married. What they don't have that their partners never even marry them for good? Husband had one quick answer to that but wont tell you. 

You must always remember that not all WHITE PEOPLE are racists or prejudice. So many of them are kind, righteous, law-abiding citizens of this country Canada. You just have to sort one bad apple from a basket of good apples.

Photography

 I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY! There are multitudes of mesmerizing, amazing and incredible photo images out there and sometimes they are magnanimous in proportions because of the art of photography and the highly skilled photographers.

I must admit I am one of those novice or amateurs when it comes to the art of photography however I am learning it day by day until I find the most interesting subject, best angle and the best lighting. 

PHOTO MEANS LIGHT.  To have a very remarkable outstanding photo images you need perfect lighting. Although there are images that appear to be photogenic even in darkness and they are one of a kind as they carry their own light.

I must admit hummingbirds are the most difficult subject for photography. It's hard to capture the angle of their existence. Sometimes they can hide in the bushes like with a chameleon mechanism not to fall against prey.

Are you hiding hummingbird?

I decided to attach twigs to the feeder from our blackberry vines so that the hummingbird will stay for few minutes before it flies to the berry to the lilac tree. That's the usual routine path of this hummingbird. The remarkable attitude of this one hummingbird is its despicable  territorial habit that it cannot let other hummingbird feeds on that one particular feeder. It belongs to her alone! She chased away other hummingbirds out.

Look at the wings, almost invisible as it flaps its wings 50-60 beats per second.

Yes it's true that Vancouver Island's the best place to find unique hummingbirds. But the most beautiful, exotic hummingbirds can be found in South America - their native origin. 

Their favorite resting place and favorite flowers to be around with: Lilacs, berry vines, or on plants and with trumpet-like flowers such as vermillions, kalachuchi (frangepani), bleedinghearts and foxgloves.

Who Knows What Tomorrow Brings

 I was looking for the photos that I photographed sometime November 2024 - December 2024 and I can't find them. Maybe I deleted them by mistake through the picture folder of my laptop. There are so many things to do today such as laundry, cooking and ironing clothes. I had just finished wrapping lumpia this morning (62 pcs.) had 16 pcs. for our lunch. That saved me the day by not cooking big meals for lunch. 

Husband will be the cook for tonight and his menu plan: chicken curry with prawns and veggies + steamed rice. Dessert: Chocolate vanilla bars

It's already the 18th day of January 2025. Sunny outside at 5C cold, some houses -rooftops are covered with frost...well seems like we'll have snow maybe next week. Who knows what tomorrow brings.

Then the latest news? BUSY, so busy in Washington DC especially at the Capitol where the Inauguration (January 20, 2025) of the 47th US President Elect Donald J. Trump will be honored and take his Oath Taking , indoor not outdoor as the cold weather unfavorable for the special guests who were dignitaries, foreign diplomats and those rows of billionaires such as Musk,  Zuckerberg, Bezo, Brin, Buffet, and who else on the Forbes list of billionaires? Who are also sponsors and donors. ? According to history, this is the second time that inauguration of US President had happened, first was during former US Pres. Reagan. 

Well, hope the ceremony would be pleasant, happy and historical. The Village People were top entertainers and so as Carrie Underwood. We know that Trump loves to dance to YMCA song by Village People. lol

That's all nothing much to report. Good day! 

Ciao & Hasta la vista!

NOTE: You'd better watch the Jan. 18th 2025 edition/episode of  " THIS HOUR HAS 22 MINUTES."

Priority

 My family was invited to a birthday party and that was good to get out and socialize however, the funny thing is the one who invited us didn't give us enough time to reconsider. Husband went shopping last Thursday morning and he doesn't like going out again just to buy gifts. It's like he doesn't like that kind of invitation that he needs to rush. He likes the so called "priority." You know what I mean? They probably invited people they know one week before the event. Anyway thanks for the invitation. OMG don't like the drama! lol

I was invited by a friend for a luncheon at her house together with 4 friends of ours who informed us one week before the event. ONE WEEK to prepare. That's the good, better kind of invitation not ora-orada. Anyway, the luncheon turned out superbly much appreciated, enjoyed the gourmet food and warm conversations and the jokes were real funny. I want to post one of the jokes here but I don't think would be appropriate to steal her shocking comedy of *

That friend of mine has a lovely house and her living room and bedroom's windows have the best view of the tranquil blue sea. You can always mesmerize and sit still on a recliner and watch the sea, the waves, the seagulls, and the next island with its famous lighthouse,  the passing of motorboats, sailboats, tugboats. It was too early for us to see the cruise ships. The cruise ships pass by the Discovery passage at around 4pm to 7pm or whatever the cruise ships schedule to sail to Victoria, to mainland Vancouver up to Alaska.

When I arrived home, husband and Echo went for a walk. Echo is becoming chubby that she needs to exercise. I think IAMS proactive health foods making her fat. I know that's her favorite dog treats. But when she saw me having spaghetti for dinner, she likes it too. I'm glad she did not ask for dessert because of all dogs she likes something sweet. 

Cold today at 1 degree Celsius only. The future forecast, another 5 days of sunshine. Wow! Thank you God for a wonderful week of sunny weather. I could just imagine Mount Washington will be the best winter outdoor resort in Vancouver island. Let the snow stay on the mountains! Just on the mountains!!

TRUMP TARIFF THREATS

 My favorite candidate to be the next Prime Minister of Canada CHRISTY CLARK backed out!! There is probably a valid reason why. So many backed out and wont run such as Melanie Joly, Champagne, LeBlanc, Anita Anand. But Chrystia Freeland & Mark Carney will run to replace current PM JUSTIN TRUDEAU.

THE TRUMP TARIFF THREATS is seriously being tackled for six weeks now. 

The Economists, mathematicians, statisticians of Canada including their  calculators are too busy analyzing how that evil tariff will affect Canadian economy.

According to Premier of BC EBY that 69 BILLIONS of dollars that Province of British Columbia will be lost. Jobs lost as in "diablos" could effectively affect millions of jobs. 

This morning Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly who had conversation with US Politicians that the TRUMP TARIFF THREATS are taken by Canadians seriously.

SURE. I told you before that the right course to that is COUNTER STRIKE. First, watch on guard Canadian BORDERS. We don't want those illegal drugs, illegal guns, their criminals,  and most of all we don't like their illegal aliens in Canada! That Canadian borders will be very busy with tough guards. helicopters and drones doing their routine duty of guarding and patrol.

Its like a game of CHESS and where it would lead them is CANADIANS BE STRONGER! BE SMART!! You are being tested. You are always on the SAFE side and now that Pres. Trump is doing his  game of chance... always be ready and alert!

How well do you know your Atlas Map?

Are you sure USA is the only trading partner that you know? There are many countries in the world who probably want or need Canadian products.

Did you know that in the Philippines, too many Canadian products are now visible for hundred millions of Filipinos to buy? Also in Hong Kong, in China and other Asian countries, Canada's goods are being seen and bought by Asian people. 

There are many countries in Europe that would be good as trading partners. Worrying about the tariff threats is just a waste of energy. Expand your horizon in trading and commercialization globally.

Poli-showbiz

 When suddenly there is nothing much to post here in my blog. I know so many blogwriters felt the same way that sometimes their subject to tackle with is simply unpleasant and almost a taboo. 

Where in the world would you like to post your toilet bowl and bidet? That's so yucky! Why, why and why? That's the question. lol. Anyway, if that's what makes her happy so be it.

Running on empty? Yes, I know that there are so many topic to be discussed however, they've been tackled already. What else is for your loyal readers to know?

That brand new memory card for my digital camera is so handy, probably Santa knew that I was using the old memory card from year 2015-2016. Reminiscence.

You wont believe what was in the Year 2015 to 2016 memory card. Much, much better than the next years after that of course. The Canadian economy is much better. Seldom you heard complaints from the people of Canada. Less crime and lesser bad news. 2012 to 2016 where most Canadians can afford the standard of living. It was the beginning of 2020 that the world's economy started tumbling down then the pandemic that caused the prices of gas, oil and major commodities including the cost of housing soared up to stratosphere. The mortgages and rentals increased double the price. Then the rise of homeless people.

In a Pandemic, prices of goods and services should go down but the case is opposite and sort of malignant. It's almost like the total account of graft and corruption and all the demonic creatures had come out from hell. The rich had became richer and the poor poorer. The great greed had become gluttony. 

I don't know if the economy will cope up with the high inflation and with the looming Trump tariff threats that those Canadians politicians are so worried about had led to reshuffle (once again) of Cabinet Ministers in PM Trudeau"s Government and had the Finance Minister resigned from her job. Too much pressures. Then weeks later, the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau also resigned. The latest news: Some Cabinet Ministers are up for grabs in the run for Liberal party leadership. The candidates are to pay $350,000 fee to enter their candidacy. I think Mark Carney (former Governor - Bank of Canada) & Christy Clark (former Premier of British Columbia) had better options to replace the current Liberal Party Leader. 

Whatever... Politics is like showbiz. Show your beast!

Taking Care Of Old Stuff

 Only the 12th of January 2025, Sunday and it's only 4 Celsius degrees friggin' cold. I've done my housework such as laundry, vacuumed carpets and floors, helped with the kitchen works and today another loads of laundry and ironing of clothes and bedding coordinates.

Husband had baked the last two loaves of bread, until the breadmaker machine fell on the concrete floor and got broken. Oh no! That machine was 20 years old. Darn it. The breadmaker machine was perfectly great for making and mixing dough the most convenient way. How it fell to the ground? The machine was on top of the counter hooked up to electric socket and while mixing the dough thoroughly the machine moves abruptly crazy and wire out from the socket and fell to the kitchen floor. That's weird. Is there an earthquake?  Good that husband is at home and alert to know what's happening.

There is something about old stuff that we don't get rid of and still keeping them for sentimental value such as: Pyrex, Tupperwares and Corning wares.

 My husband was keeping this set of Corning ware as he had them since he was a bachelor. I think Mom bought them for him.

Kitchen appliances we hold on to and hoping it wont get haywire or broke down. Because for whatever reason some appliances nowadays are easily get broke down for just a year. Fridge that could only last for 4-6 years when they supposedly last for 10 to 20 years at the most. Stove/oven + dishwasher + washer + dryer that should last to 20 years only lasted for 6 years.

Hey people check your HOT WATER TANK. That hot water tank could only last 8-10 years. Don't wait to smell radon in your house to get rid of your old hot water tank.

Latest Happenings

 CHRISTMAS 2024, NEW YEAR 2025, ORTHODOX CHRISTMAS and ORTHODOX NEW YEAR had passed and Christmas decor and Christmas ornaments were packed and stored in big box to be unwrapped again next CHRISTMAS on December 2025. 

However before I even put the Christmas stockings away, felt something inside my stocking and was surprised that I have a gift from my Secret Santa!! Surprise! It was a 128 GB Microchip card for my digital camera. That's wow! Thank you so much Santa!

 

Now what I need is a brand new digital Canon Camera!! LOL.

Oh well, what's happening now in our brand new world 2025?

NEWS AROUND THE WORLD BUSY with the newscasting of what happened in California especially at the height of the horrible vicious wildfire in the Pacific Palisades where known and famous Hollywood movie stars and affluent showbiz personalities live. Ten people believed to have died and 10,000 structures decimated by raging fury of wildfires due to uncontrollable winds. Canada helped their neighbors put off the wildfire however the super scooper water bomber plane from Canada was hit by an illegal drone and had been grounded. FBI are now committed to finding the owner of the drone. According to the news the wildfire was now 8% contained. However the TOXIC FUMES are hazardous to humans and animals.

Wildfires in that area had so many toxic mixed chemicals in the form of all the wood, plastic, steel, iron, cement, bricks, glass, depend on what those structures are made of then the  gas, one burned site was the gas station so that's toxic. All the explosions from barbecue propane gas, chemicals in those pools, the electrical wiring,  etc. According to the news journalist that the area was almost like the land area was decimated by bomb. I hope those houses and businesses are insured.

By the way, is the famous GETTY VILLA burned down? OMG! What a great loss if ever. 

What's really the cause of such horrendous wildfires? Weird.

HISTORY. History. History

 8 TO INFINITY & BEYOND...

Whatever!! We are all clueless about the future. Nobody knows what's coming and going. Sometimes it is beyond us, for our ordinary minds to think so we should stop thinking. JUST DO IT just as what NIKE used to imply.

PLANS ARE PLANS and for some people in politics should have their plans in secret. I don't know why some politicians keep bragging about their plans. Probably to be laughed about or a strategy to cover up something.

Yes, there is always that CONSPIRACY THEORY. Or some people made lots of money from talking nonsense in front of TV to keep humans entertained and voila, eureka you are just hypnotized within a blink and something just happened. IT HAPPENED.

There are something happening in other countries that we don't know about such as how progressive those countries while they played old ancient slum areas of such countries. Like in the 70's you keep watching movies made in China and how poor China is because that's what the movie is all about. It turned out China is more modern than New York. You watched how poor and slum areas in Philippines in those movies you watched and then you are surprised it is not what you ever imagined in the first place.

The Chinese from Hong Kong were surprised when they arrived here in Canada. They never thought that they've gone backwards. They thought they could make business here conveniently but they were surprised about taxes. It's not easy to find employment in Canada. Even if you are University educated, or employed as doctors or lawyers or teachers, they want you to educate yourself again in Canada and have their certificates here. For practice in Medicine they only honor doctors who are graduate in South Africa, Great Britain or USA. What they don't know that doctors in Philippines are much better. 

What CANADA should and must be proud of that the SCIENTISTS here are brilliant and genius. Canadian scientist first discovered the famous INSULIN the cure for diabetic. There are too many scientists here who had discovered in the name of SCIENCE. 

HOWEVER...

Yes, there is RACISM here in Canada. 

CANADA is a country built by IMMIGRANTS and yet RACISM is such a common denominator here.

RACISM is also common in the USA & EUROPE. Duh.

When Canada becomes a country? No humans here in 15th Century. The VIKINGS had settled in the Atlantic part led by Erikson from Norway but too icy to live here. 16th Century,  17th Century? There were voyages from the so called "exploration and expeditions by "navigators" but they don't really settled.. they were just "peeking through" because the focus of settlement is to the EAST & WEST just no record of time yet in Canada until about 18th Century. During the 18th Century who were the first Indigenous and where they came from? The first Prime Minister John A. MacDonald of Canada in 18th Century... who is J.A. MacDonald's or McDonald? Old MacDonald had a farm Ei Ei O. OMG! He is a look-alike of George Washington the 1st president of USA. ?

Kidding you not. Was it Martha who tried to escape with Washington's portrait when the White House on fire? I know there was so much happening way back then. Chaotic. The Civil War in the US, the Patriots against the British. Darn it. I want to watch MEL GIBSON's Movie THE PATRIOT once again.

SAINT Bernadette Soubiros

 THE SAINT

SAINT BERNADETTE born in Nevers France on January 7, 1844. A patron saint of Lourdes,France. Known to have hundreds of miracles attributed worthy to be one of the most saintly figure in History.

HER life was well recorded from at the time that she was born after her demise that she is not a legend. She is a true story.

While Saint Joan of Arc's record of time only had been stated as in 15th Century.

Did you know that the History of Philippines had been recorded in time during the early navigation in 1521 when Ferdinand Magellan summoned by the King Of Spain Felipe to explore the island they once called "Paradise."  It was a religious pilgrimage or is it a scientific exploration? Truth be told that when the Spaniards came to Philippines in 1521, the Early Filipinos already had a form of government, they were already civilized and had their own culture, had their own alphabet, and barangays are ruled by Datu or chieftains (they had their Royalty as in they had Kings and Queens and prince and princesses).

When the Spaniards and Magellan came to Mactan (Visayan region - the middle part island of the Philippines they built the cross to set the landmark). They don't have clock or wristwatch, they have hourglass and compass. What's that cross symbolized? Is it about religion? Or there must be something worth to think about?  Humans ancestors are smarter than some humans here in our generation but they don't know yet how the Earth revolves around the sun once they figured out that the sun actually rises from the East and set down on the West through the 180 degrees (360 degrees d. the whole circle) Their scientific exploration has led to the original record of time and calendar was then created. Accurate time recording is beneficial nowadays. Nobody wants to be left behind.

 What those Spaniards had established were Cathedrals, schools and universities. One of the oldest university -  University of Santo Tomas which is still standing in Manila. 

Anyway, we're going too far away from the most important purpose in our life. 

SAINT Joan Of Arc

 The very first woman soldier and hero JOAN OF ARC of France. There were two movies I watched about the life story of the Saint Joan of Arc. She's the patron Saint of New Orleans. Nobody knows when she was born,actually in one of the books I read, she was born on January 6 in 15th Century in France. 

I don't know how many times the Roman Calendar has been changed and renewed by the "Scholars" maybe depends on how many miracles occurred or how their view of the signs in the heavenly bodies.

Despite of her heroism and miracles attributed, she was proclaimed as the "witch" and must be burned to ashes. Later on The Vatican had pronounced her as "Saint."

Way back then, humans showing extraordinary power and those speaking in tongues, in different language that they cannot understand, miracles they don't know about such human is deemed "witch" by enemies.

The actress MILLA JOVOVICH best portrayal of JOAN OF ARC in a blockbuster movie. Great!

My drawing of Saint Joan of Arc.

Is she different from Wonder Woman?

From superwomen?

From crouching tiger, hidden dragon?

An Indi warrior?

A female samurai?

Woman as a Viking leader? Just like Legartha?

Because in 15th Century BC ...women should be servants to men and should not be in the military, should not be a warrior and should not be given a job in the man's world.

Because the women's world is to be subservient to their husbands, keep the house, to cook food, tend to the family, bring offsprings to  life, raise children and make the home harmonious and convenient for the whole family to live because MOTHERS ARE THE LIGHT OF EVERY HOME. 

Women are different in every country around the world. There are women who are enlightened to create bigger "lamp." They become the lighthouse in every country. Saint Joan of Arc had enlightened the world in her heroism as she was chosen as "The Messenger."
 

TOM CRUISE: Maverick

 TOP GUN: MAVERICK the movie of the very talented actor TOM CRUISE, one of the very best popular movies he ever made. It was premiered successfully in 2022 and made hundred millions of dollars and I only watched the whole complete movie today.

TOM CRUISE is not only a veteran versatile actor but he is also a pilot so that movie deserved him best and that's why the US NAVY had awarded him a special medal of valor and service.

Why not? Of all Hollywood actors he is the best of the very best. He's brilliant!

 

HOBBIES

 Back to my Sewing project. As usual my project of sewing bag made of fabric is just my kind of hobby that I can afford. I know that there are too many hobbies out there that your skills are up to perfection however those hobbies could mean lots of financial means. 

Being frugal this year is a must. Year 2025 when hearsay about the high cost of living will double would you have such costly hobbies to make you busy and happy? 

Would you believe most banks have no money in it? It's all in the borrowing state. Most of them borrowed by creditors who owed lost sum of money for down payment for their would be houses. Next thing we know it's foreclosure time.

Any kind of hobby that is expensive and can break a bank is not worth it and if that is a business it is something that you must think twice or stop. STOP, LOOK & LISTEN.

These are hobbies that are costlier than you ever imagine: Boating & Fishing. Boating is costly because of the price of gas and seldom you can fish dozen salmons in 2-3 hours. Sometimes you might end up just catching one salmon or nothing at all. You can catch fish from the river though. Still you need a fishing license. Gardening is a kind of hobby for those with green thumbs. If you have the best soil in your garden then plant veggies and flowers. The amount of water and fertilizer is not that much so it's ok. What about Archery? I like Archery or target shooting but don't have a big space or large yard to do it. Actually my kids tried Archery just at the yard before. Not advisable if you have neighbors. You must live in a remote area far away from neighbors. Photography is my kind of hobby, it is my passion. How much is the microchip now for digital camera? I had about more than 5,000 photos in my file folder and still counting at this phase my camera is almost 12 years old. Some photos deleted. Still can take photos, functions are still perfect, however the lid to the chip and batteries are haywire already that I have to fasten  close the lid with tape. Darn it. Why, why, why? Crochet or knitting is great if you have all the materials. I have a crochet tools no yarn. I tried that hobby before doing crochet blankets for my babies. Crochet for throw pillows and crafts made from crochet. However I found out that I was allergic to wool yarn. 

There are too many hobbies worthy of keeping busy but comes along the monetary budget for such task. Most of the hobbies nowadays involved lost of money. Just painting, drawing, writing seems no  monetary involve. That's what you think. You need materials such as canvas, drawing boards, paper, sketch pads, drawing pencil, pens,  charcoal, colored pencils, crayons, acrylic paint, set of paint brush, easel, etc. In writing you can use different material either pen and paper, typewriter, or you can use the most modern equipment - computer. You can paint through digital paint task on your computer. You can write a story, blog or post anything through your computer and be a member of the Blogging Blogger community which is a  "free website." If you have the monies you can publish your own book.

However, COMPUTERS are getting costlier. Mr. BILL GATES should provide FREE COMPUTERS FOR THE GEEKS & TALENTED HUMANS who make use of computers as their equipment for talents.

Calligraphy, I was into calligraphy building my skills on it for the purpose of making greeting cards. Then it get so boring. I started a new hobby of Wreathmaking when I saw that the backyard had those abundance of wildflowers, daisies, dandelions and other wheat-like grain and some barleys have to dry them and with some twigs and branches managed to create adorable wreaths adding artificial birds and dry berries. Had given them as gifts to my in-laws and friends who adorn these wreaths on their walls.

There are too many hobbies such as cooking, baking, dancing and singing, reading, poetry, pottery,essay writing, watching TV and movies, jogging, exercising, cycling, swimming, biking, hiking, etc.  whichever can help you move on, to keep busy and make you attain happiness do it purposely and intelligently. 

 

Being a close confidante, being a good friend lending your ears to friends is not a hobby though you exert much time and effort doing so is good for the heart and conscience.

HAPPINESS is not just being outside

 I was advised to get out frequently as in at least spend time outside, maybe shopping or have sight-seeing tour or something because I'm always at home. I think being at home most of the time is just when you have enough being out. I worked in the Philippines before and I was a pharmaceutical representative, medical representative and my work is "field work." I have to visit hospitals,pharmacy, and clinics and detailed medical products and give samples and medical brochures to doctors. I had free clinic at DRTS in Department of Health together with other medical representatives from different pharmaceutical companies (United Laboratories, Wesmount, Schering, Berlimed, Wellcome, Bayer, Eli-Lilly, Sanofi, Astra, Glaxo & Pfizer).

Being always out in Philippines mean its the kind of work or the occupation you have. There's an important purpose.  If you are unemployed, old and retired why are you roaming outside like being homeless? Besides if you are married why would you be out most of the time? I'm not that very conservative but if you are married and happy with your family why would you stay out most of the time? It only means you are just an unhappy human seeking happiness from outside. Opsi, not to cause trouble here. We find happiness in so many different ways. I could be out there without you knowing me because I sometimes can make myself invisible. Ha ha ha! LOL. j/k

Who says, I don't get out? Yeah, why get out most of the time when you have a family at home? You are out most of the time because the house maybe toxic or you are surrounded by toxic humans.

You wont believe how many times my husband and I traveled (for Holiday/Vacation) from BC, to the end to end of BC as in all  cities and towns in British Columbia: Prince Rupert, Stewart, Terrace, Kitimat, Smithers, Prince George, Quesnel, Barkerville, 100 Mile House, Revelstoke, Kamloops, Merritt, Hope, Banff, Okanagan, Kelowna, Victoria, Duncan, North Vancouver, Downton Vancouver, Surrey, Richmond,  Fraser Valley, Port Hardy, Gold River, Strathcona, Cathedral Grove, Nanaimo, Courtenay, Cumberland, Campbell River, Quadra island, Brown's Bay, Bear Lake, McIvor Lake then to Alberta. We went on vacation to Philippines 4x. 

When my husband used to golfing every week at Moe Hays (part of his job to entertain his clients) I was with him too. Then I decided no way because I don't like getting dark skin and being bitten by bugs. Too many hungry tiny bugs at the golf course. My friend told me because I applied lotion in my skin that's why the bugs are biting.

Almost 6 pm in Hyder, Alaska. I didn't expect that Alaska is almost like a "province." It's a country or rural area. Not much to look at but the wide vast of nature, mountains and forest. Houses almost like the ones in Philippines and the roofs are made of galvanized iron. I don't know what's it like in their big cities though.

This log ship is huge. Almost like a huge football field.

I've been to Hong Kong,  to Alaska. Border of USA, just few kms only by car didn't go there because we don't have time & I was pregnant have to go home back to Rupert. Just few days after...  early labor just happened. That period of time Canadians can have access whenever they want to go visit USA or Americans had easy access to visit Canada. NO VISA or PASSPORT required just that it was so peaceful and safe in crossing both countries in the 90's.

Way back then in the 90's, CANADA was in the great abundance, with great surplus, it was well prosperous than any other countries in the world. Toronto Blue Jays won 2x in a row. High employment in the forestry, mining, pulp mills, sawmills, fishing industry. Less crime, obedient and law abiding Canadians and residents. You don't hear about crime, no racism and most of all peaceful loving Canadians. That's why Canada was chosen as the "world's peacekeeper."

Happiness is not just being outside but when I'm outside, photography takes that one of a kind challenge and I have to focus on my camera and aim at my target.

I had photographs of almost everything I see about Mother Nature, the mountains, seascapes, forest and trees, landmarks and anything significant for the art of photography. I photographed not only landscapes or bodies of water but also animals such as grizzly bears, loons, ducks, eagles, crows, seagulls, sea creatures great or small, salmons, halibut, snapper, dogfish, hummingbirds,  deer, beaver, raccoon, dogs and cats, herds of cows and sheep, elks, plants, flowers, mushrooms, buildings, grain elevators, pulp mills, cruise ships, cargo ship, large capacity ships for loading logs and grains and all interesting stuff that fascinate my vision. Well of course, I include myself , my husband and my 3 children in my photography. Too costly way back then but can afford to have the negatives processed in one hour photo processing unlike nowadays when you just use your digital camera and then upload the chip into your computer and see the photos right away within a blink of an eye as if magic. 

More photos:

Logs being loaded to the large log ship by longshoremen. It was a risky job for longshoremen that's why my husband made sure that everyone is safe while they are at work. All workers wear the spike shoes and safety outfit they were trained to do such huge load works.

Hard to load logs when at winter because sometimes the logs are covered with snow and every surface is slippery and steep. Husband always provided the longshoremen with cork boots and made sure that every precautionary measures are applied and reminded time and time again. My hubby was a manager for EMPIRE a stevedoring company and our precious baby Bluepoint Himalayan cat is Princess Leia.

It was winter and the slippery highway going to Stewart BC is treacherous. At one time the snowstorm was nonstop and snow covered the river, mountain and highways. It's almost like being in a white planet from another galaxy.

Two brown bears grizzlies across the stream of water with those white birds and ducks feasting on fresh salmons.

I was hiding behind a huge, tall spruce tree with my husband asking me to watch out for those bears but I was curious and still aimed my focus on my camera lens. I was without fear way back then snapping more photos and thought to myself I could climb up the tree if the bears approached us. Long before I know that bears could climb a tree!

Generous Givers

 HAPPY THREE KINGS! Today's the celebration of the Holy visit of the three wise men or 3 famous kings: Melchor, Gaspar & Balthazar. They held from different parts of the world and joined together to seek and search for the Holy Baby Jesus which was the sign of the prophecy They traveled far and wide until they reached their destination and located the Baby Jesus in a lowly manger in Bethlehem through the help of the bright Star that guided them. They brought with them some special messages and precious gifts for the Baby. Gifts such as gold, myrrh and frankincense.

Gold,  we know how precious and great value of gold is. But why myrrh and frankincense? Scents and perfumes and medicines? 

Anyway, who cares? Those gifts from the three kings are valuable in those period of times. Only the royalty or member of royal stature could have them. 

Just like you if you were given a gift or any kind of presents just accept them wholeheartedly without a fuzz. No need to complain just say thank you. You never know the value of such gift. What more if its made just for you. I mean there must be a reason for those thoughtfulness and generosity.

Speaking of non-generous move by Russia to stop the flow of gas supply to Europe! Duh! Now you know who supplies the European gas and oil  and most part of Asia. Do not blame Russia. Blame Ukraine because they will have to stop the flow from Russia to Europe. The battery plant in Russia wont supply batteries too? Hmm... don't know. How about electricity? Europe benefit from Russia through its electric hydro dam too. Oh well that's what it is better check HISTORY. Or watch the Superman animated movie that tells about Russian history. Check the people of Russia as in part Jews, part Orthodox Christians, with 4 millions Ukrainians since 1986.

Housing

 MISCONCEPTION about owning a house. 

Let's have that for our topic or subject to tackle with today. Not all people here in Canada or in the US fully owned a house if they only paid for down payment then pays for monthly mortgage. Some of the homeowners owed money from the bank to gain access to owning a house. A fully owned house is when you don't have to pay mortgage only yearly property tax. 

Good for you if you inherited your parents old house who paid their home since you were born. But the value is already depreciated thr. the years but the value of land goes up.

Most  who can pay a full payment are people with large sum of money either a full payment of $500,000 cash or cheques. Or if the house is worth 1 MILLION DOLLARS and who can afford such house? Mostly those who won lottery or executives earning at least $200,000 annually. Anybody who had millions of dollars are being investigated as where and how he accumulated such money and what that person's occupation. You think that's easy that somehow you can afford anything with lots of money? 

I know too many houses are for sale including condominiums. Who owned them? For now its the developers who accumulated financial aid from large banks or from billionaire financiers whoever there maybe. 

Ten years ago there were many skyscrapers condominiums built not really for residency. Don't know what it stands for actually.  Some of those skyscrapers are empty. Nobody can afford and maybe they don't want anybody to live on it. Could it be those towers are just for the birds' nests or just a tower for lightning to strike to create electricity.

OWNING a house now is more like choosing the best safest location where no lightning would strike, no calamity and disaster to even occur such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, wildfires, tornadoes, etc.

There is no safest place on Earth...if what we are watching on TV News want us to believe.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

I know, you'll ask me where's the fireworks! lol Well, just find this cute bear cuddly so even without fireworks that settles the "bearlike" future. Strong, robust, healthy and happy.

Besides we live in the northern regions of the Earth, cold, playful and lovely. What to fear if you live here for more than 30 years. The only fear is fear itself.

New Year's resolution? I don't have any. What to promise when you are to break it yourself.

I asked one of the people I used to annoy rather tease because she likes questioning me some annoying questions on and on non stop every time. I asked her what is her New Year's resolution, something she would break. She left without answering and later on she had answer it and got nervous of what she did. That will give her an experience she will never forget.

"Hysteria and From series" are over for the season and don't know when they will have its next showing. While Eddie Redmayne's "The Day Of The Jackal" continues to amaze us. Then there's that Showcase's new television series "Teacup." What's the story of Teacup? It's a story of family who lives in a remote farm community and suddenly strange deadly magnetic field have them isolated from the civilized world. Of course we'll continue watching this series for sure. 

 

 

Blogging is what I will continue to do for the rest of the year and years to come. I know I have loyal readers who keep on reading what I'm writing and posting here. I hope not to disappoint you dear readers and don't let me  provide you with codes and secrets because I wont.  👻👼👍😄
