Give & Take

Christmas is the most stressful holiday celebration of the year for the GIVER. For the RECEIVER it is the happiest day of the year. Blessed are the giver.

Another year older but we're all here to WELCOME THE NEW YEAR. Gone are the "old license plate" which is called "lying" let us celebrate the NEW YEAR with renewed spirit of goodwill and lots of sunshine for it's the bad weather that's killing us.

HAPPY NEW YEAR & Have a MERRY BLESSED PROSPEROUS 2012!

WHAT? The Hindus has problem converting Muslim to Hinduism? Uhm yeah right! Aren't they frequent visitors to Taj Mahal monument which is a Muslim's edifice and monument? Conversion of Muslims happened in the Philippines when Sikatuna had blood compact with Legazpi. Filipinos suddenly were risen and baptized! From being Muslim to Christians to Roman Catholic. You wont believe this but the Muslims are the Roman Catholic of today. That the barbaric Erik and slavic Vikings are the first crusaders and their clans of today are the new Catholic. How time flies eh? That's HISTORY folks no matter how it badly hurt your own existence! Something you cannot erase because it runs in your blood!

So what's this I heard from the grapevine about many donations to the flash flood victim in Philippines? Celebrities selling their best celebrity dress and gowns and the "proceeds" go to the victims!!! Really? From what I heard too that they - the victims of the flood only received party clothes. Oh my! That's old news already. Maybe they don't have CASH that's why. To generate cash or fund nowadays is really not that easy. Hindi na kayo natuto. Remember the victims of the Mount Pinatubo eruption? Not all of them received the donation. They lost their land and employment, the lahar and hot lava flowed almost halfway Luzon and hot grey ashes were scattered by wind even up to the area of Makati. That's how devastating that super-strength calamity of volcanic disaster. The sky went dark instantly in just a matter of hours. Daytime became dark as night and the ashed fell on the roof, on the road and God knows what else the long time effect of extreme force of nature. I know that too many suffered from asthma ailment and skin diseases, worst scenario? Lung cancer! Imagine all the ashes that fell on our roof top that fatal day? Well the roof top almost gave up and the replacement of such galvanized iron is costly. We live thousand miles away from the disaster area and you wonder how it affected the millions of people living near that volcano. Months had passed by and when we traveled to that area near that zone is somewhat hard to picture because the dry lahar and ashes were still evident. The volcanic dust being swept away everytime the wind blows and every time the vehicles passed through that highway from Bulacan, to Pampanga. Incredible! Hmm...now the flash flood and tsunami affecting almost every part of the country Philippines is worth thinking that no matter where you are nobody's safe that's why it's always this motto that we have to be reminded of BE PREPARED!

Be thankful that we have a better weather in this part of the world. When you've got nothing to donate because you are poor you only have a way to help by praying for them. Pray that they can pass the trials and tribulations that you may pass in your own way as people tend to scrutinize others for not helping. Then you were able to help yet that kind of help is not enough because they want something even more or they expect more than what you have. What they need to do? They should have a "Calamity fund" designed or dedicated for such cause. And if I were you better visit your local Church and donate there and they know where to bring the donations. At least you know where a building is located and whoever in that building will not hide. You know what I mean? Most of all be careful about scams.

I always have to correct these people you know why? I'm HELPING them actually so that before the Year ends they are in a solid BOOK of SANITY not BOOK of InSANITY. That's what happened to the rest of their kin in 18th Century. Yeah I know the Queen of England would be pleased to have read my novel. You know Prince William, he already is starring in the futuristic movie: CRacker Jack & The Merry Makers. lol

I don't know what you're talkingkong about Meggy I think you frequently visit prisons and you're a part of the conspiracy. Whew! Meow! I hunt alone if need be. I think you want to be in the Fear Factor! Bwahahahhaa!

You wont believe this. I know you really, really wont believe this he he he. I had a dream last night. It was not about God but it was about an animal, a cute dog kissing my face. Shocking! I was asleep and then awakened by a dog's kiss!!!!! Just a dream! I was always kissed by our family pet when we had Mutley and Hunter. Our devoted family dogs whose been with us for few years when we were young. Mutley who usually went to where I used to go either to the neighbor's house or at the party. Mutley and Hunter have those peculiar sense of  "guarding" their master. I remember a time when those faithful dogs will sit beside me at the party never wanting anybody to dance with me. Huh! Really those pets are one of a kind. They think like normal human beings, except that they are "animals." They barked loud enough when they smelled something foul and fishy. They don't trust much the people that walked near our home. Unfriendly? Maybe over protective!

I should have dreamed of a "cat" instead after watching a stand up comedy show of the movie actress Carrie Fisher, last night,  the beautiful actress world renowned for her role as Princess Leia in Star Wars. Our bluepoint Himalayan cat is named Princess Leia. It should be  a cat but it's a dog who appeared in my dream. Hmm, psychology, psychology. Unconsciously you really cannot choose what appears in any dream or nightmare no matter how good you are or even if you have psychic abilities.

There are a lot of events happening some tragic and so unbelievable. But what we can do with such devastating tragedy. All we can do right now is pray that it wont happen to us. We have certain calamities here too: such as snowstorm, earthquake, slippery roads causing accidents, unemployment, depression, forces of nature >> they are considered "calamities" that go with the time of having to choose the right moves and the right location where the safest route maybe. If only we know who "leads us to the right way." Instead of having to rely on some people who don't know the right path and where the great plan is going. I know there will be the name game and blame game after so many disaster happening and you people should be able to manage such happening for it only reminds you of human nature before the Year Ends. I wish that scam, suffering and deception will leave us. That no amount of temptation from these evil doers will penetrate us. Think of DESIDERATA once again. Thank you. Peace Out!

Something To Make You Feel Alive!

Felt like I'm in a ghost town once again. Imagine having to see only few people at the mall? Where are the people here in this sad very sad town? Yeah "town" not a city. A city has at least 100 thousand population. I was back and forth back and forth at the "mall" trying to find what I really need to give to my loved ones, my family of course! It's really hard to choose the right gift. Oh there are some dress, blouses, and shirts that I really like but I don't think they will like them. Then I went to look for a nice trendy fashionable belt something that is very feminine but nope so unlucky with that. Only few selection to choose from. I think the owner of that bib box store has no taste eh? They should have fashion consultant for their store just like some other stores in other parts of the country. Even their clothing are so old fashioned. You wont find bright colorful dress, nor the fabric is exquisitely favorable according to your or my taste. I like bright colors, something vibrant and refreshing not dead! I remember a friend of mine used to wear black clothes most of the time. I asked her on time why she always wear black colored clothing. Is she mourning or what? Then I realized there's not much choice one friend told me. That the clothing and accessories and apparels were just left overs from the main city Vancouver. That means if you live outside the main port, through the smaller communities you have no choice. All what you can buy are just "remnants." Like as if they are second hand. No wonder why so many people just shop at the "thrift shop" instead. At least they know the price is not double or triple. No over pricing or whatsoever! In Philippines you can report vendors selling over priced products. Oh my! What a life. Still not enough? You or me can just try sew some fabric and made them into nice beautiful dress, blouse or pants. Something that will really fit and something that is fashionable and up to date with the Year 2011 to 2012 not vintage from the 1960's 0r 70's. However, the textiles here are mind boggling so pricey! You'll have a heart attack when you see the price. You start adding accessories such as: thread, needle, automatic, zipper, hook and eye, lining fabric and the right fabric you are comfy with the cost is more or less C$50.00 then you made a wrong measurement you ruined the fabric you end up buying again for another meter ...oh darn! Very stressful isn't it? The more stressful is having to face the very snobby and snotty clerks at the fabric store. They are very unfriendly. Why they hire so many rude employees? They should fire them from work. he he he. No really nakakaimbierna ang mga store clerk na mataray at wala sa lugar. I mean why be snob when you have a business? Don't they learn customer relationship or what's the use of having a business when you're so snobby and rude to your customers? No matter how busy you are think of "Customers is always right." Unless of course when you have the right reason to have a business or you have it only as a "front" of somekind. See this what triggers me when you're so rude? When your only good with "members" and why you have to advertise? Advertisement is a way to acknowledge and welcome customers but if you are there to discriminate then you are just fooling yourself and you should shut down your company. Close down for the good of all you have discriminated. Hmm I should really dye my hair blonde maybe they will accept me. Darn! Inggit lang siguro sila dahil mga datan na sila!!!!!! Right, my friend said inggit daw yung mga datan na yun dahil type nila yung husband ko. A aha aha aha!

I think the only, the best store where I can be at ease when it comes to buying the right dress is at Sears. It's costly though. That's what it is. Too costly and you have to travel 3 hours from my place to that place. However going to Philippines and finding the right stuff ? Same thing. I can travel and buy the same thing you think that's economical? It's crazy! Okay everyone's going gaga now with fashion. That's why some people would rather just go naked. I hope that's not what God intended to do. lol

Uhm, look at Jesus Christ hanging on the cross with just a strip of cloth that covers him while He's being viewed by millions , billions of people. Don't you feel kind of mystified why the Roman Catholic church still keep Him in that kind of position? I should not ask such that strange weird question or I might have a nightmare again.

Which Side Are You Most Comfortable With?

Just couldn't believe about news on the increase of crime rate especially in a small town and cities in Canada. That can't be true right? How could that be? The presence of several crimes being committed are only prevalent in poor countries with poor economy. That the increase in corruption is also becoming rampant and hard to control. Such a vicious cycle of poor approach to economic and welfare of the inhabitants of that said country. But Canada? Uhm, Canada is getting poor?

So bad! Too bad the con of man!

Well it would be another task force increase to dismantle such heinous crime and whatever crime those criminals will be up to. Do you think this is something to do with so many television show based on too many injustice, corruption, criminals being slapped only but not put to jail? Crime scenes being copied by real criminals. Television crime stories such as: CSI, NCIS, Cold Case, Criminal Minds, Hawaii Five-O, Rookie, Fringe < all these benefit the greater good or it just actually a training for would be criminals? Where actors and actresses are better policemen and women and they can get hold of the many benefits and gadgets needed to do police work. Or FBI and CIA actors and actresses who can act better than real para troopers and someday can fool you that they are the "real ones instead." Not to make your holiday stressful but there's always a good side in one of us. There's always pros and cons.

Alright there will be vigilantes anyways willing to provide us with good support and be our heroes in time of need. There are more good people with conscience rather than having few bad elements.

For one thing in this time of the year BE ALERT and be prepared. Keep safe and enjoy a great holiday. Don't drink and drive. Have a good friend to drive you home safely. No texting while driving. Take care!

What's The News Today?

Know what? I heard a rumor of the present Philippine Pres. Aquino asking for the return of their family's Hacienda Luisita back to the original ownership. Can that be possible? I don't have a clue. Rumors are rumors and for me that's a discotheque! lol
 OMG! Lotsa gimmicks.

However this is the truth. This is a true story.

If you can turn back the hands of time I would like my family and clan to have the ownership of the whole Quezon province where all the land was known to have been for agricultural purposes only. From year 1900 to 19__. That if God is truly Divine and wonderful knowing to have all the wit and all > that the rice plantation and coconut tree plantation be return to our hands, into our ownership. Why not eh? They all belong to my family and clan, until World War II broke out and so many people without land suddenly end up occupying those land that belong to us.

That's how I can relate to the Aquino's when it comes to land ownership.

What an awful destructive war can do to your family and relatives. What another country using aggression and too much excessive force in a wrong way can hack, destroy and steal your property that you worked on for so many years. You'll never know until you are in the same situation.
