IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED... TRY & TRY AGAIN

 

Some of my housework done yesterday, so found time to have my leisure hours towards drawing/painting using twistables colored pencils. 

I tried on SAILBOATS

SAILBOATS & SUNSETS

Then my imagination had the river BEAVER.

How do you rate my colored pencil arts? I'm being amateur in using colored pencils instead of the watercolor or sketching using pens. 

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. That's how it is. Try and try until you succeed.


This is the set of TWISTABLES COLORED PENCILS by CRAYOLA.

TOO FUZZY ABOUT FOODS

 SATURDAY SATURDAY... Saturday. What to do today depends on my kind of mood. Weather permitting that it is awesome morning without rain. Yey!! 9 degrees Celsius. 

After my breakfast of toasted bread and cup of Maxwell House coffee, watched the latest news on TV about the horrendous 7.7 mag. earthquake in Myanmar & Thailand. OMG! A building (under construction) collapsed like as if its pancake! So bizarre!! As of today, thousands been reported dead and thousand of inhabitants injured, Mind boggling. 🙏 Pray for the dead and the survivors of that devastating earthquake and hope they can still rescue some of those who were under the rubble.

Another news: JD Vance (US VP) was snubbed in Greenland by "cold" assertive inhabitants who despised other people who would  like to buy Greenland. That's right. At least "buying is an option" instead of by force invasion. Actually there was a small military base in Greenland and in the North Pole. Is that not enough?

WHAT'S IN GREENLAND? Are there rare earth minerals on Greenland? Or because of its strategic location plus the water reservoir?  FOR SECURITY REASON that USA would like a territorial claim on Greenland. Its more like its "Green bank." USA would like to be in the ARCTIC CIRCLE, I mean its TRUMP'S GOAL & AIM IN LIFE.

There are many sources of RARE EARTH from Russia, Australia, South Pole or Antarctica. Know what? Too many garbage in the USA & Canada because of its huge population you can find rare earth from all those garbage and make batteries from them. But because some humans would like instant gratification.



Next task to do for today: Wrap stuffing for spring rolls (50+). It took me 1 1/2 hour for the preparation and deep frying because I have to chop all ingredients first (onions, celery, carrots, cilantro, shrimps) glad that the garlic is already chopped then mixed all the ingredients with ground pork with 2 beaten egg, add salt and pepper. Have to thaw the springroll wrappers. Deep fried about 30 pcs. of spring rolls (lumpia) on hot boiling oil on medium sized wok. Spring rolls for lunch with chili garlic sauce and ketchup.

We have Echo pet to babysit today. She likes piece of spring roll, what can I say eh? Such a good dog that I gave her a warm bath with sweet smelling shampoo. She likes her bath unlike before as in she never gets scared anymore.


Laundry next, to vacuum carpet & floors. Thinking of what to cook for dinner for my family. 

Truth is I have left over deep fried European sea bream (fish) and pinakbet so that's for my supper. My hubby and kids would probably have something else. I asked if they like barbecued chicken but hubby said they had chicken strips last night. Oh well, maybe pork chop or pork saute' with green beans good enough. He wants to have spaghetti once a week. Hmm...I don't really like spaghetti. I prefer lasagna. 

I know, we're fuzzy eaters here at home.

When sometimes,it is way too easy to just have ramen noodles or instant noodles on a cup. lol

LAW OF SUPPLY & DEMAND

 

SO MANY EGGS IN CANADA. We wont run out of eggs supply  in Canada that's for sure! Husband bought at least 2 1/2 dozen of eggs for just 30 cents each. Not too costly eggs compared  in USA which is so great actually.

LAW OF SUPPLY & DEMAND is surely working in Canada. 

If the demand is high, the price is low.

If the price is high, the demand is low. 

Same kind of law is happening in Philippines. 

When it comes to imported goods or products, not too many can afford imported items that the imported items are being ignored. Buying locally owned and produced goods in Philippines are given more importance.  Plus haggling is much an appreciated in the wet market or certain designated stores. 

Where in the world you can haggle for the price of goods? Only in Philippines.

CANADA should reconsider trade with Philippines and other Asian countries. Just the aluminum and steel  products will be of significant trade for house building and construction, many of the vehicles in Canada such as passenger jeepneys are made of aluminum, cars, pop cans, boats, airplanes, roofs made of aluminum or galvanized iron, steel bowls, kitchen wares and appliances... etc, etc.  

ALUMINUM & STEEL are ones of the most important in demand products in ASIA. Trump just doesn't like Canada that much because of Trudeau and PM Trudeau is out what else he wants? Just that the old man is such a spoiled brat and acting maybe "senile" or having bouts of alzheimers already, maybe that impairs his judgment and decision making. OR JUST MAYBE... Most of Presidents who lived in the WHITE HOUSE were kind of "possessed" for the time being you know. White House since been there since 17th CENTURY and how many GHOSTS been guarding that old House? 

Being possessed is nothing out of extraordinary. It can happen to you. It's almost like having dual personality or worst having MULTIPLE PERSONALITY. Have you seen the movie SESSION 9?

TWIST & TURN

 GOOD MORNING ALL! It is sunny day the whole day through and that's totally amazing! Seldom we get sunshine here at the island so this is such a very good day, a kind of blessing. Echo is surely a happy puppy. She went for a ride to the supermarket.

WHAT'S NEW if you'll ask me. Hubby informed me that a young Filipina girl named Alex Eala (from Philippines) had defeated Iga Swiatek the Polish Champ in tennis in Miami!! Wow!! Really? Good for her! While tennis pro Shapovalov was defeated. I don't know when he can get up to at least Top 20 in Tennis. 

Once again, hubby found there are fresh bittermelon at Superstore. Only then has the chance to cook my favorite "Pinakbet" for viand. Great for lunch. 

Oh something NEW... dear hubby bought a box of Crayola - Colored pencils and its twistables. You don't need to sharpen it with sharpener. Just twist, turn and color. easy peasy!!

 

More drawings/sketching happenings on my part when my creative juices feel my imagination. lol.

Acrylic painting?  I might try it too.

 


The ARTWORKS to be continued.

WAR GAMES?

 It's been raining for consecutive days now and it s awful.  Is it really spring time or just baloney of a bad weather conspiring with all the bad news out there? Melting the snow on the mountains and knowing too many mountains in British Columbia. Supposedly snow capped mountains should have snow on top until month of June. ..at least.

I don't really like rain. Echo doesn't like rain because the grass gets wet and the ground gets muddy. So many people hate rain. The Misery loves mystery hate rain so badly. We all need sunshine! We don't need to look like having pale skins that almost everybody kind of looked like vampires. lol

The latest of the bad news about mistakes of texting war plans in a group chat with Atlantic journalist. Is that really a mistake of texting confidential matters? Is that really a group chat of the Intelligence Bureau? Or are they playing video games? A prank of some kind? NOT FUNNY! You know how many members of the Armed Forces who will perish if that mistake or "situation happened for real?"

And that's the reason why a high ranking military officer a GENERAL OF THE ARMY, NAVY or MARINE should have been the SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.

Have you seen the movie SAVING PRIVATE RYAN?  In that movie, the Americans came and arrive in Normandy secretly. However, surprise!!! The enemies are waiting for them at the shore ready to fire at them when they landed on the beach and it was one of the bloodiest war ambush ever!  How the enemies knew before hand that they were coming? Are the journalists working for the enemies?

During WWII the encryption was hard to decode. It was hard for them to decode the Enigma until they had stolen the machine. Codes way back then was in the form of Morse Code and who amongst you know about Morse Code?

If they will have a war plan they should be in a "war video game." Nobody will know. 

Did you know that there are violent war games made up from the true real war that happened in the past? How those animators and 3D graphic artists had applied true life war in a video game is amazing!

ELBOWS UP?

 Last night's NEWS was kind of good to watch when Canadians rally for "ELBOWS UP" & group of Americans had to join. GREAT!! I'm glad they can feel our sentiments here in Canada. Actually most Americans are not happy with what's going in the USA. We can't blame them. Blame your ?

SNL's MIKE MYERS  "ELBOWS UP"


There is so much problems and conflict in the USA that it was ever before. USA is at the center of so much conflict one after another. Add the tariff trade wars! 

Housing affordability in Canada? Not too many families can afford  $750/monthly rent for 2 bedrooms 1 &1/2 bathrooms in the year 2000.  The minimum wage way back then was $7/hour in the year 1995-1999. Year period of uncertainty because of the NEWS about PULP MILLS CLOSING DOWN and other major industry about to shutdown in Canada during Year 1994 to 2000.

Year 2000 Rental house for $1,000/month for 3 bedrooms + 1 1/2 bathrooms - That's affordable!! Food prices not really a huge problem and clothing and other commodities are affordable in the Year 2000 to Year 2011. However, most clothing were made from India, Bangladesh and if you want to buy more expensive clothes worth more than $200 to $500 buy from catalogue Sears & Victoria Secret.

Year 2012-2019  Rental home for $1,500/month for 3 bedrooms  + 2 & 1/2 bathrooms, garage - That's affordable!! The price of gas and oil still low, including price of grocery: foods and other items.

Year 2020 Rental home for $3,000/month for 3 bedrooms + 1 & 1/2 bathrooms with garage - UNAFFORDABLE in today's standard! High inflation happened. The pandemic had contributed to the problem. Then continues of high falutin inflation and high cost of living up almost to the stratosphere!! Are we all astronauts? LOL. Are we all at the ISS already?

Will the politicians lower the price of HOUSING? Majority of people would rather rent instead of owning houses because of risks involved. And some people would rather live on tents.

YES you can afford to buy a house if you have at least $500,000 to 1 MILLION DOLLARS! Otherwise Bank Loans offer high interest. Looks like BANKS are getting wealthier eh?

Not too many will buy houses especially with all the unforgiving calamities and disasters. Look at what happened to Jasper. Would they able to rebuild the loss of their homes and businesses? Why it took so long to rebuild their community? What's the on-going "activity"  at the Jasper mountains?

WHAT CANADA IS MADE OF hundred years ago? Why Canada had been just settled in during the 18th Century? What Canada looked like during the 15th, 16th, and 17th Century? 

18th CENTURY when CANADA finally had the first PRIME MINISTER J. A. MACDONALD. Yeah fresh from Scotland. His family hailed from Scotland. When you think that the fist Prime Minister should be a Native Indian (FIRST NATION fresh from PHILIPPINES) born and hailed, raised in CANADA. Because Indigenous Indians are the first people inhabitants of Canada or if you want the VIKINGS led by Erikson from Norway. Why Columbus did not settle in Canada or the US? Too frozen?

15th CENTURY is almost the Renaissance Period in Europe. Expedition, navigation and exploration happened in the NEW WORLD from the DARK AGES to the NEW WORLD...to the ASIAN COUNTRIES.  Nothing is happening in America (USA) & Canada. No Historical Record in 15th Century except that there were archaeological findings  "DINOSAURS once roamed Canada in BC & Alberta (Drumheller, Alberta featured ROYAL TYRRELL MUSEUM). 

SNAP ELECTION LOOMS in APRIL 2025 in CANADA!! Rally for affordable Housing, PENSION INCREASE FOR SENIORS, Rally for Affordability when it comes to foods, goods and services!!

If there's no solution for those problems...LOST CAUSE! BE FRUGAL. STOP BUYING UNNECESSARY ITEMS. AVOID UNIMPORTANT SPENDING.  Sacrifices you can make being frugal.

Otherwise if those almost ten years of the hate and rage at the Parliament of the high cost of living being the subject of debate therefore if no solution...do not open the Parliament. Because replays and repetitive continuous word for word of the same tiring voiced out of sentiments is such an annoying redundancy and WHAT THE HELL they are working for what? Hey just because I am opinionated here... now I know why I was a target in 2023. Thank you for that courageous nurse who told me about it.

Oh the TARIFF THREATS? How many months of non stop politics about nonsense tariff? Until April? Why not find new clients, find new ways to trade with other countries. USA is not the only country in the world. FGS.  Sorry Americans it's not you, it is your potus. Use Canadian Armed Forces and Canadian government owned planes for commerce & trade.  Armed Forces are not only for war they too are beneficial with the country's economy in pick up and delivery.

LET US HAVE SPRINGTIME! LET US HAVE SUMMER AT SPRING TIME!

HPPY FOREST DAY!

 GOOD MORNING! Second day of SPRING and today is the celebration of the forest. Hope you love the forest near you. Greenpeace & environmentalist plus nature lovers love the forest. Include the gnomes, fairies and all kinds of animals and insects.

Sometime in 2017-2028 our family lived in rural community and the backyard is the rich forest of evergreens, maple trees, pines, douglas firs, cypress, willows, wild berries: black berries, raspberries in abundance.

Birds and butterflies including dragonflies flutter and fly almost everyday.


We usually have deer grazing at the backyard.



There are snakes, garden snakes... and snakes skin out on the grass. Plenty of moths and other kind of bugs, beetles and lady bugs. Plenty of clovers on the ground.

All kinds of birds from woodpecker, bluebirds, hummingbirds, ravens and crows.

And at one time a black grizzly bear happened to visit although he cannot get through the backyard fence. 

I must admit, we had so much fun in that house where the forest is just steps away.

TUESDAY HAPPENINGS

 Told myself I will continue my spring cleaning today however, woke up with back pain this morning. So have to cancel spring cleaning instead just have to do few other things that wont break my bones. After waking up at 4:30 am had brew coffee in a kettle not in our keurig machine because the pods not applicable for the machine. Waited for the coffee to boil and had my cup of hot coffee with egg sandwich that's my breakfast. I watched the morning news mostly bad news and went back to sleep and woke up at 8 am. Only 4 Celsius outside, 19 Celsius inside our home.

Oh well, back to vacuuming carpet and floors Then laundry after. 9:15 am prepared rice for cooking and left over chicken curry with prawns and veggies for lunch. Husband loves curry. Chinese curry style not the Masala or Indian curry with lots of ginger of course.

Day off, no need to go to CDF. The whole day is Tuesday and haven't brought my gifts to my sister. Our Dodge Ram  XLT 4X4 been vandalized when we moved here in this part of the city. Rear side mirror been broken, few days later something odd with  the function  of our vehicle. Last year, when suddenly wont start its engine no matter what. Husband tried so many times to find out what's wrong but I think that Dodge needs a reputable mechanic. It might cost $1,000-$5000 to have it repaired, maybe. Whatever! The repair's cost too much. You can buy a second hand car with that amount of money.

Duane and his pet Echo came for a visit.

I watched the movie CONCLAVE. Gathering of the College of Cardinals to choose their "Pope." How the long and tedious votes and ballot counting takes too long and dramatically been seen in this movie. How their "votes" changed and why is a matter of investigation and introspection. Why the "first chosen one" would rather remain Cardinal? Interesting movie and the secret is simply a matter of confidential matter that the members of the Cardinals and Bishops to keep in order to have a new Pope. Besides, they thought the power and responsibility belongs to the "Vicar of Christ" and therefore they are only "followers."  

GREAT POWER COMES WITH GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.


 In the true sense, what remain secret about GOD and His son JESUS CHRIST? 

The HOLY BIBLE had them all recorded. Archaeologists and scientists not over yet with their scientific research though.




By the way, the Holy Pope Francis has recuperated from double pneumonia. Thank God! You know sometimes the power of prayers helped. 

Two days from now... SPRING TIME!!!!

WHAT'S IN YOUR DNA?

 HAPPY SAINT PATS today! I know too many of the people had celebrated earlier Saturday & Sunday and today some of them are sober now... lol.

Whether you are Irish, Catholics and whatever denominations good for you to celebrate this happy feast of Saint Patrick. GOOD LUCK!

What else is new? Has the Stock Market recuperated from the actions of those idiots who are trying to ruin the economy of our country? They are so desperate aren't they? 

Last night happened to watch the Downfall of ENRON. What is ENRON? Some journalists asked what Enron sells? And those whom they asked don't know how to answer of what they really sell and that's one of the pointers that complicate the doubts of some investors. They should had answered the question. Why the reluctance?

Products that you sell that people can SEE and judge whether it is saleable. PEOPLE NEED TO SEE SOMETHING what is being sold. Just like bottles of wine, cans of beer. Sorry folks! AMERICAN MADE products, including liquor, wines, whiskey and beer are no longer available in Canada. 

I also watched the TWITTER story on CNN and its beginning and how Jack Dorsey, Ev Williams and Biz Stone had joined their tech skills in creating a social media TWITTER. How it grows with that cute blue bird and had accumulated all the very best of Hollywood celebrities, from Oprah, to Obama and other leaders of the world & Iraquis?  Then how Biz Stone & Ev Williams had Jack Dorsey out in their circle but when Obama took Jack Dorsey to meet other would be members of the Twitter world and had them signed in uplifting TWITTER to the Gen Z and then realizing Jack is actually a valuable team player. They also tried to sell TWITTER to Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook but he thought it's too much, the price was too high. I didn't see the scenes where Musk bought TWITTER for BILLIONS OF DOLLARS!

How and why TWITTER had turned into X? Why X? Is it TEN? Is it AO or 10 for X. Are you perfect?  Or is it a Calculus Equation X= y ? Or X Chromosome? Oh I know X Men... ha ha ha!

Maybe Elon Musk likes Tic Tac Toe.  ELON? NOEL reverse. Is he the Anti-Christ? What's  in his DNA? Elon once said he is an alien. ?

X is wrong. When I was in Grade School used that x or X in checking my classmates test papers. Check for correct and X for wrong or mistake.

MAYBE. Maybe Not...

 

For whatever reason FARKAY with the Dragon emblem or logo had become too expensive!! That's we opted to buy affordable chow mein noodles for our pancit.

Spare ribs also had become too costly that we also  have alternatives for such.

And our favorite IRISH SPRING SOAP had been replaced with peculiar logo. The above logo was the original. I don't know why after the pandemic that changed. Hmm...

What to cook for lunch and dinner?

It's always been repetitious (viands) for us here due to high cost of fresh produce and grocery products. We tend to cook what we crave for the day.

I know somehow the boycott is not a solution. Because for one thing, to boycott supermarkets owned by American companies with Canadian employees can be a factor to losing job employment and can cause the collapse of the community's economy. 

Remember what happened when the major industry the closure of PULP MILLS, the shutdown of saw mill and the mining industry in Vancouver? IT DID NOT CREATE MASSIVE INFLATION. Actually the foreclosures of houses made the price of realty properties low and cheaper. 

The PANDEMIC however had a different economic downturn. HIGH FALUTIN INFLATION. Weird and so very strange! Pandemic, real pandemic could lower the high cost of living but it didn't. It could be a fake pandemic! Meaning somebody evil had broke down   the TREASURY BOARD and major BANKS around the world. If the pandemic had caused massive loss of lives? Hmm... it caused the population of Canada and USA unbelievably staggering HIGH. That's questionable! Maybe those who died had double lives having double names or using fake names.

There was a movie about all passengers aboard a foreign plane who went missing and all passengers dead! Turned out they were all alive and everybody had changed their names.

Those people who had LONG COVID? Don't know why. Maybe 4 vaccines in one year was the problem. Too much! Or you probably been sleeping with your computers or cellphones and the emission of radiation out from your machines and gadgets are too high and you are becoming radioactive.

LET IT SHINE. KEEP IT SHINE.

 RAIN, SNOW, HAILS ... ... ... that was the atmospheric disturbance yesterday 3-14-2025.

Wow!! That's awesome you think? That's what you call "complicated."

Canada is in the "complicated situation" with regards to politics and economics and that also with regards to the weather.

Well, hope we can fix that sooner than later eh? Could be trick from the nuisance of leprechauns. Remember on Monday is the 17th March the celebration of SAINT PATRICK'S DAY. Many people in Canada will celebrate it not because they are Irish but because its a good day to celebrate it with friends. Saint Patrick's  is a patron saint of the Catholics. Whether you are religious or not. Long time ago, Saint Patrick drove the snakes away from the Irish village and those demonic snakes never returned again. 

In celebration with his feast, the villagers gathered once every March by having barrels and mugs of Irish beer, put decors on their houses with anything but  green colors, green clovers on their doors, green dye on their rivers. Everything is green all over, clothing, shoes, hair, food and bounty of gold coins to seek and search for treasure hunting. 

The lavish celebration had reached other villages and other countries and they too had copied the festival of Saint Patrick.  

How to keep the leprechaun busy? Throw him lots of dirty shoes!!!!!! Ha ha ha. 

Keep the shoes shiny leprechaun! Keep them shine.

On March 12, 2025, I drew this Saint Patrick's theme for the occasion 


 

hours passed by and on the way home happened to see a bright, vivid real rainbow at Discovery Passage as if the rainbows are sipping the water from the sea (in between Quadra Island & Campbell River. It was spectacular.

HAPPY PI DAY

 HAPPY Pi DAY!! It would be nice to celebrate it with buco pie eh? OMG! I'm craving for buco  pie. Too expensive to make such thing here in Canada. Besides, you have to buy at least 2 fresh young tender coconut and scrape the meat out or shred the meat which is the main ingredient for the making of buco pie. Coconut meat, sugar, starch, flour, egg, vanilla extract. You can add blueberries or pineapple slices.

PI could be Private Investigator re Magnum: PI

PI means PHILIPPINES.

It is also the birth anniversary MARCH 14   of the famous Physics Genius - Albert Einstein who discovered the famous equation: Theory of Relativity. ( 3.14)

 PI DAY - is the celebration of the mathematical equation that is CONSTANT. 

Do you know what is constant?

How about Constantinople?

Who is Constantinople? What he discovered in the sky?

Anyway, I hope today is TGIF and everything would be BETTER FOR GREATER GOOD.🙏

JUST CRAVE FOR FOODS

 Only the 12th of March 2025 at 6 Celsius ( 42 F). Do you think the weather temp will go higher today? Hmm... I love sunshine so maybe it will be sunny today and hope the witches will back off.

Let's get back to cooking:

This is the best CRAB RECIPE that I had experimented on recently. Crab with gaylan, garlic, onions, sliced ginger, spices and oyster sauce. Yummy so delicious!!

I usually, rather most of the time cooked crabs with lots of coconut milk and slices of squash and ginger.

I also experimented on egg custards using maple syrup.

Darn it! It didn't turned out good. I think its because I used too much milk. Sometimes we don't really have to follow directions from other bakers in the net. 

Anyway, husband baked fruit tarts which of course better and delicious. My husband is a better and experienced baker than me.


Fruit tarts: Blueberries, cherry, peaches, rhubarb


Just crave for foods, sure makes you happy!!🙌

STRING THEORY

 It's hard to believe some people are so advance, smart or just plain members of the rat race. lol. Would you believe that it is already Easter in some blogs that I browsed a while ago. Hmm, probably they owned their stores and want to take advantage on showcasing their products. Nothing's wrong with it though. I'm happy that Canada's economy still survives even if there are demonic entities out there.

FGS. Let us watch horror movies.

However, it's not springtime yet. Spring begins on the 20th of March 2025. Today is only the 11 th of March. Before the Lent, Saint Patrick's Day first on the 17th.

 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Oh I know you are not Irish. Saint Pats is a patron saint of Ireland and if you are British therefore you would rather celebrate some other events. 

We can always understand. 

Only 4 degrees Celsius today. I don't know if it will rise once the sun comes out or the clouds will cover the sun.  DST started last Sunday so it's only 5:55 am instead of 6:55 am. 

Oh well hope that we can see more GREEN today and the next day until Saint Patrick's Day. 

 RED almost seen the whole day yesterday because the stock market stumbled down. Who we have to blame?

 RED the movie. You know RED in that movie of Helen Mirren with other oldie actors meant "retired." But the retirees are seen more often than not in the workforce in the workplace in the US & Canada. That's why the rank and file had very slow promotions. 

Did you know or seen  retired people working in the Philippines? If you are over 50 years of age in Philippines, you are encourage to have early retirement. It's up to you if you want to work in other companies. 30 years in service is good enough whether you are a good employee or not. 

Imagine yourself working in a company where "you are the only one working" and the rest of the workers are in the coffee nook or booth chatting and flirting with each other. With the invention of computer, works that can be done within 4 hours instead of 2 days is the new norm. Works that can be done at home without the need to congest or suffer from traffic congestion on the way to work or back home. The pandemic isolation had been a reliable source of such "experiment" of working at the convenience of your home. Is that bad? Can you focus more at work? Would that be normal?

What would be the inconvenience of working at home? If your family is large, your kids bother you at work or cannot focus of some disturbance whatever that is. It would be costly if you are using your own electricity, your own machines, and office supplies. However, you don't need to splurge on wearing designer clothes, shoes and bags so that's minus from monthly budget. You don't need to be fashionable when working at home. You don't get late or be tardy because you work at the convenience from your own home. Most of all you don't need to drive or use subway to get to work. 

Whatever! WHY YOU WORK anyway? Some people work because the first answer would be to earn a living, earn wages or salary. There are so many works available if you are qualified. Certification and qualifications are your best weapon to succeed. However, is that enough? Millions been fired from work because of downsizing! How can you be different from the rest of the workers out there? What is your best shot? Merit or spoiled? Connections sometimes played in the best interest of both parties. 

STRING THEORY. String theory been advertised by Einstein during World War II.

GREED: The Root Cause of Evil

 

Long time ago when simple trading is done from the dockyard, boat people brought their fresh produce from the farm to the dockyard and then delivery men or women vendors sell the products by foot door to door.

Back-breaking hard work of course that's why when all types of transportation: cargo ship, cargo planes, delivery trucks, delivery vans were invented every delivery was fast, smooth and reliable.

However, when trade becomes smooth and less hustle,  the commercialization becomes stiff and very competitive that every hurdles, all kinds of barriers took place. 

Humans are so complicated in every aspect of trade and commerce because of GREED.

IF the TARIFF TRADE WAR continues...

CANADA has its option for trade  to ship and distributed goods or products to ASIAN COUNTRIES. 

Its either Canada has to build cargo or container ships or cargo planes.

Another option is to divert cargo shipping by having trade deals with CHINA & RUSSIA. 

CHINA for the most part has largest cargo ships. They have EVERGREEN shipping lines. Opsi EVERGREEN Shipping Lines is TAIWANESE. HQ in TAIWAN.

DST & Liberal Party Leader Election

DST Daylight Saving Time. One hour forward. It's already 6:56 am (5:56 am) and still dark as of now. Do we really need DST? Do we really save time and energy by using DST?

Psychological maybe. It is just in your mind.

The race to the new Prime Minister of Canada starts today when Liberal Party members have to vote for their candidate for Liberal Party Leader. Your chance to practice your voting rights. Who will you choose from among the candidates: 

Mark Carney - former Bank Governor of Canada, and UK

Chrystia Freeland - former Finance Minister of Canada

Frank baylis - Businessman

Karina Gould - House Leader at the Parliament (very smart articulate woman)

Would you believe 14 year olds member of LP can already vote. Hey that's great! Practice your parliamentary practice during Election.

 Supposedly age 18 is the right age but the low population of voters in Canada, should implement 14 years of age, that too in the Election for Prime Minister.  

CANADA's 40 MILLION POPULATION of PEOPLE is really low for such a huge country almost a continent. California's population is higher than Canada's population. 

Low population for Canada is so great for us to be richly endowed by natural resources. That's why we have FREE HEALTH CARE. Imagine a country with huge population in billions? OMG! Our natural resources would be mostly garbage and everything would be just recycling, everybody would be sick and hungry. A normal day to day living would probably struggling and hopeless. That's why Canada is the envy of the world and the target by POTUS Trump.


UPDATE: MARK CARNEY is the NEW LIBERAL PARTY LEADER 2025

Well hope that it is still FREE HEALTH CARE UNDER MARK CARNEY so that Trump jealous ambition of Trump to have Canada's 51st State still remains. j/k

Or Do you think Poillievre will sell Canadian Health Care to the US? WHY?

WOMEN

 Is it a HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY today? 

HAPPY OR NOT, if you are a woman then celebrate it if you like. I know too many events to celebrate this year... year after year.

You've got to be happy being a woman, a female human being and what will you become a Mother, a sister, a cousin, an aunt, a godmother, a grandmother. A great grandmother if you have great grandchildren. 

How long you'll live? That's the million dollar question. 

EVE the very first female human being out from Adam's rib. The Mother of all human beings according to the HOLY BIBLE. At least believe in the Old Testament and New Testament rather than believing in Charles Darwin's theory of Evolution.

You don't looked like a monkey or an ape so Darwin's theory is such a baloney.

You are created in reflection and representation of God's image.


 Without women life wont exist on planet Earth.

EARTHQUAKE

 EARTHQUAKE! Another earthquake!! 3.9 magnitude.

Wow! That's wow!! How many earthquakes now in BC? Well what could that be?

Do we have volcanoes underground? is it tectonic? cause by explosion? Continental shift? 

Is the boring machine of Elon under ground?

Is there a tunnel being created in BC? 

Building tunnels usually need some kind of dynamite detonation process and it should be done safely not to cause harm. 

Did you know that if you have to build skyscrapers, the ground foundation alone will be at least 60 ft. to 100 ft. + below the ground. For ordinary house, just below 3-6 ft. of foundation below the ground, 10 ft. foundation if you want a basement. Digging or excavation can cause tremors on the ground.

DESIDERATA

 TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I HAVE SO MANY PROJECTS (TOO) IN MY MIND. It's just that time, space and financial aid not enough for me to finish all those projects. So sad, madam tussad! LOL.

PROJECTS: Sewing project, crochet project, drawing, painting, novel writing, baking project, photography, scrap booking, wreath making, too many out of yin yang. 

Always there is that unfinished business.I woke up too early before 4 am and have this spark of ideas in my mind and I have to write them on my notebook, or blog about it or draw them with much ease and precision.

Then sometimes woke up after having a dream and wrote the significance of such dream and analyze it for my own sanity. What could be the hidden  message behind those dreams?

Wanting to forget among other things by watching news on our TV. Watching TV shows, series and movies made me forget about things that bother me. Keeping busy doing housework is also a plus in when things get complicated. If I can answer all the problems in this world  what other people are burden about or having problems sometimes have to answer them here in all my blogs. There is always an answer or solution to any problem. 

Anxiety is a prevalent normal most common problem now in our society. You are not human if you don't have worries. SO BE STRONG! STRIVE TO BE HAPPY!🙌🙏

REMINDER: DESIDERATA

ECHO

AT HOME. Would you believe it was sunny yesterday, warm at 15 degrees Celsius. SPRING weather temperature and it was so awesome. However today, at about 8 Celsius. That's what it is here in Canada, the weather temp is not very steady keeps on changing every hour. 

Yesterday I was screaming at the top of my lungs when suddenly Echo run fast as she could out in the open gate to chase a stranger outside. Our neighbor forgot to lock the gate of the townhouse. My God! It made me nervous when Echo was running fast outside of the house through the road. The neighbor chased her and gave Echo to me. My husband was so angry that somebody left the gate open. This is not the first time that happened, forgetting to lock the gate.

Anyway, that's the reason why we want Echo stays comfortably here at home with her toys, with her choice of nutritious foods. She doesn't need to be outside chasing every passersby. Pets such as dogs and cats are mostly indoor pets in Canada unlike in Philippines wherein dogs and cats just roam around outside the house and they can come back at home anytime. Echo is different. She doesn't sit on the couch by herself. She has to sit on your lap. She must sit on your legs for hours using you as the "couch." I know it's weird. 

Echo is different from other pups or dogs. She doesn't think she's a dog. She thinks she is a baby. Well at least now she eats without being fed by our hands except when she feels like being a baby again.

Echo will be three years old this year on May 2025.

Cute baby Echo.

BLOGGERS WORK EVERYDAY

 What to blog today, Sunday 2nd day of March 2025? Only 8 Celsius and cloudy day. We're babysitting Echo babe. Actually nothing much to report as in feeling normal. 

Oh by the way, finally watched the movie CONCLAVE. Hmm, nice to see those holy men wearing uniformed robes at the Vatican for the Conclave of rigorous choosing the next Pope after the Holy Father had passed away. The "one Cardinal" who was in the lead to become the next Pope do not really want to be the next Pope as it is too much responsibility and personal freedom at stake. That he had an eye on Aldo and the secret Cardinal from Kabul. Oh my! Don't want to give you the  whole story. You should watch it for yourself.

Next watch a movie THE CREW. Story of seasoned airplane pilots. Didn't know it was a Russian movie. Those Russian actors looked much as American actors! Nothing much difference from them except that they are Russians who speak Russians dubbed in English movie. They don't looked like Zelensky who looked like ISIS. lol. I mean Fidel Castro with his "fatigue uniform."

LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING.
