The 3rd of August is always been the busiest day for my family. We love to celebrate birthdays of course however if the birthday celebrant is not at home and living far away from the family, we still celebrate it no matter what and we cooked special foods, however his favorite pancit palabok is not in the menu because we can't find palabok sauce. Husband tried to search for it at Save On Foods because that's where I saw it on online ad but not available. I tried twice at Walmart, wala din. Before palabok sauce in packages were available at Superstore but they only carry pork sinigang in packs. Darn it!
Anyway, I always cook pancit bihon mixed with Farkay noodles (with pork & shrimps & veggies). Then we have vegetable salad with dill dressing, lumpia (springrolls), blueberry/zucchini cake, deep fried tilapia and baked/broiled chicken. Of course we have steamed rice because my daughter loves rice. I was thinking of making sushi (California rolls) but as I said my Son the birthday celebrant is busy at work and living in the mainland. Husband texted him on his cellphone to greet him and I texted him too. He texted back that he and his friends will go golfing after work.
So that's it. At least my Son is doing Ok and having more fun after work instead of working too much. As you probably know that young people here in Canada start working at age 16 or 18 then once they started working they never stop and work on 2 to 3 jobs just because the standard of living here is quite stratospheric high. Japan has the same kind of attitude when it comes to work.
Living at the island of Vancouver for the past 26 years and 34 years in Canada you think life would be that easy. Maybe if I am a "White person" everything would be easier and a privilege. Non-Whites still are not seen as part of the norm here unless if you insist or force yourself to mingle with the crowd. It is not easy living here as what you think it is no matter what your status, rank, gender, or what your occupation because it is the racial discrimination as in you are "Asian" and you are not White. Then somebody blurted out, that's not true! Baloney! Please don't be in denial. Backstabbers are not only in Big Brother show & Survivor. Europeans are not being questioned where they came from. They always have privilege because they are White skinned so everyone thought they are Canadians. You can feel discrimination simply because they can spot your race whether you are Filipino, Chinese, Japanese or Mexican whatever. Even if you are black well they are the ones being discriminated the most everywhere. White people have distinct aura of discrimination because you can see their facial expression, they frowned at you or just being unfriendly. I know it shows how uneducated they are LOL. OMG! It shows!! Look at what they are doing with the Natives or the Indigenous such as First Nations, Metis & Inuits. Always there are wildfires in their community. Oh well I don't need to be suspicious. If they are not suspicious why should I be? Darn suspicious mind! You know what? I DON'T CARE! If they don't like giving me the BC Card. I will hold on to my CARE CARD. I might turn your BC Card into hmm...😇😂💨
Somebody said BC means Bring Cash not British Columbia. Duh!
I could turn BC into BEFORE CHRIST.
What would be Before Christ? It's the Old Testament.
That sparks a great idea of another story. *
NOTE: Hey, did you notice that since CARE CARD was replaced with BC CARD too many unfortunate events happened in Canada most especially in Alberta & BC. Alberta had flash floods that had Alberta submerged in flood waters for two months. BC had so many wildfires from Fort Mc Murray to until now as in every year there are hundreds of wildfires everywhere at Springtime & Summer months. Are those coincidences? Flash floods also been a recurring calamity in BC. Calamities and disaster non-existent in the 90's and early 2000's only after year 2012.
Did you know Alberta was once an "ancient ocean?" It was not a land. It was an ocean, a large body of water!
