 Canada's > Simon Whitfield,  triathlon star carrying the Canadian flag.

 Canadian Olympic athletes showing so much happiness and pride just to be there at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games.

 Then the Olympic athletes from the Philippines...

Diaz carrying the flag of the Philippines. She represents the weightlifting team for the country.

 The Russian Federation of athletes. Sharapova was there joining her Russian delegation.

 Team USA and who wont recognize the famous basketball star Kobe Bryant. Nice outfit they have.

 The host country and their delagates the British arrived in their all white uniform with gold accent collar and the loud cheering from the audience filled the air.

 So many athletes in their team.

I think it's a great honor just to be present there at the stadium, at the podium. Be a part of the entire once in a lifetime world event, the greatest test for all great athletes in our lifetime. JUST TO BE THERE.

Then the extreme pressure sets in and they have to compete real hard with all their might...who is the fastest, the strongest and then the smartest. It's all about GOLD, SILVER and BRONZE. More stress, more pressures when the tabulation begins what sports, who won the medals, what country and what category.

Olympic Games is not a lame game event. It is the most costly event on earth. Not cheap. EXPENSIVE and COSTLY to sponsor Olympic Games. It is a four year plan, set up and everything that goes in and out lay the foundation of a bigger structure and expenditures and lastly the result? REVENUES.

You only get to know there are revenues afterwards when there's a continuity of this world's humongous games that "never stop."

P.S.

Who's your favorite athlete?

Are You Excited For The 2012 London Summer Olympic Games?

Four hours to go to the OPENING of the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games. I know the countdown is the most awaited event since the torch relay started May 19, 2012. The longest Olympic flame relay ever and will of course should enter into the Olympic stadium designed to have that official torch flame.

What to look forward for? What to watch and what to see? For the children their focus will be on the Olympic mascots Mandeville and Wenlock. The two mascots are non-human like form with only one eye. One eyed monster just like the cartoon character Lila of the animated cartoon show Futurama. But these two mascots are from "drop of steel" as what the rumors said so. Really? Well you've got to touch them for real. But wait, their eyes I mean one eyed bigger than their cheeks are supposed to be CAMERA!!!!!! Whew! How nice! Unique and weird! Aahahhaah. That fun eh? You looking at these two mascots and you are being watched at the same time. Like looking through a glass. Uhmm, okay think of it as a double mirror. Ows! Just think you are being spoof for gags. Hey it's for fun you'd better enjoy while it last. Besides they were there for a reason. Oh yes, souvenirs. Without souvenir stuff from the event is a failure on your part so souvenirs are a must. Are you allowed to carry photographs? Are you allowed to take pictures around the area?

Next, adults will surely love to view sports by categories. I for myself would love to watch the following sports: Gymnastics, Swimming, Synchronized swimming, Rowing, Archery, Riflery, Diving, Marathon, and Triathlon.

Other prime highlights of this huge event of course are the award ceremonies, the OPENING ceremony and the CLOSING ceremony. Of course the Olympic Games 2012 is being held in Great Britain that we expect them to have better result compared from the previous Olympic Games held in other countries. That's all.

What's In Colorado?

You and I should ask this: Why there's always somebody running amuck or go berserk killing innocent people in Colorado? What kind of air they breathe over there? Why the kids have so much access to ammunitions? Fishy? Seems like it's very fishy ha?

First casualty happened in Columbine High School when group of neophytes dressed in black uniformed ala Matrix gang style armed with high powered weapons then started killing students at the cafeteria, library , inside the Columbine school. How could these teens were so hyper and insane? What really happened? I read so many stories about what happened c/o tabloids, newspapers and magazines. They were teens rejected by society, some group of students rejected them too. Rejections can do more than damage when morale is low. What could be the real truth? What's behind those massacre? Unbelievable right? So much damage. The kids were from well to do families and one kid was a son of a military guy and really don't know what happened but based from the old story the boy, one of the killers was rejected from entering military duty because he was diagnosed with mental disorder? That's what is stated in the news that I read. Is that the truth or just hearsay? No one knows unless of course if you asked the parents of those killers. Too bad you cannot interview those kids either because they committed suicide.

Matrix style. Whew! Like a movie. Seems like a movie. Shooting!

Next story news: A boy who killed his parents. Nobody knows the real story. That boy has access to weapons also. Whether it's lethal or what still is lethal. Not Dark KNight but lethal weapon. Uhm. have my doubts on many news out there.

Third news is that teenager who did his rampage inside the cinema. Killing movie goers also in Colorado. Hmmm, they never run out of ammunition alright. Too much access! Movie Dark Knight Rises? What? Heath Ledger is alive?! You don't know?

This is not in Colorado but in Ontario. Remember the story about Magnota? When it first blottered on the TV screen I first thought it was a photo of Bieber. Then later on his photo has been aired that looks like the guy in Big Bang Theory. FGS! People why don't you have eye glasses. You know when photographs are made from paintshop.

How about PHOTOBOOTH? Is that good?

Long time ago when only the food that they can eat are fresh food such as vegetables, fruits and animals but as time goes by and men were able to use the importance of fire they began to experiment on cooking the animals they used to eat raw. Then they also experimented on some kind of grass that bear edible food called grains: rice, wheat, barley, oats, etc. At first they don't really know how to cook those grains especially the wheat and other variety of those crops. As usual the ancients experimented on them just like they experimented on so many wines, beer, rhum, gin and tonic.

Who mostly suffered on those ancient experiments are women. Women suffered hemorrhage thought of to be as what they though as "women who are having adultery because all of a sudden their bellies are growing while their men were away for so many months of hunting and conquering different territory. Women were then stoned to death for those wrong accusations. Teka nasa Bible din ito ang story na ito. Hmm...

Later on in Salem the same thing, the same familiar situation happened to some women. What they did? The authorities have the "witch hunt" instead and set those witches on fire accused of  the witches' brew.

In anyway, in other parts of the world they found out that it's best to eat the "unleavened bread." The flatbread made without yeast or sourdough. Flatbread parang ostia. That's the only solution so that your belly wont rise up and no more bloated bellies from now on.

It's the same thing with wine and beer. How many have fat bellies now? So be extra careful. Maybe that's the cause of colon cancer and other bowel diseases.

It pays to enrich our world with knowledge maybe it could help others the way they think. Supposedly YEAR  of ENLIGHTENMENT in the 21st Century but we're still in BC though.

Crazy Ingredients We Need To Avoid

I hate to tell you this story but I might as well relate and share this info so that you'll be saved from the same kind of situation.

I had this ear infection of somekind and I decided to ask prescription from my doctor. She gave me an Rx that is sort of an antibiotic and topical solution when I bought it from the pharma or drugstore I didn't realize that it's manufactured by not so popular company. It's my first time to have known that drug company. But maybe it was popular here in Canada. You know me I would rather take medicines that are proven to be so effective. Okay so I bought it because that's the prescription and maybe it will do me a good favor.

Within intake of that prescribed medicine I felt something is wrong within that day. Two more days passed and I realized there is really wrong, my body especially my stomach has "bloated." It feels heavy on my stomach. I felt and looked like pregnant. That was so shocking. I discontinued that medicine. never again. I didn't report that incident to the doctor who prescribed it to me. What for? I'm not stupid. I know and aware that all medicines have adverse effects. Some medicines can be fatal. That's why at the first intake of prescribed medicine and there is a sign of side effect then STOP the medicine right away. Don't take it again. It's not the fault of the doctor. They are not God and they cannot always be right with giving prescriptions. You know what I mean?


What are the ingredients in medicines? Are they supposed to be 100% safe of course it should be safe to cure not to kill. That's why they are called MEDICINES. However, when some pharmaceutical companies are just sort of "fly by night kind of company" what can you expect? Nobody wants to end up like vampires and zombies because of bad quality control and reliance on company that administer testing without the patient's approval being experimented. All medicines already in the market should and have passed the trial test. Testing this new  medicine to innocent patients will only complicate things. Not only the company lose their credibility it will also damage the reputation of doctors and other medical practitioners.

Then days passed and I saw that documentary film on TV about owners of poultry farm wherein their chicken had that kind of plague, their chicken are dying one by one and they don't know what was happening. The increased in size of those chicken is almost unstoppable. Only days and their chicks have grown the size of mature chicken. What's the magic behind such rapid  growth?  Remember the white leghorns they are growing so fast because of the aid of light and feeds. In just few months the white leghorns are ready for the market. Months not days to grow those chicken variety which is normal for those species.  But other poultry farms used some kind of feeding or feeds that can double the size of the flock within the normal time period. It was then under investigation on what kind of feeds being fed to those chicken. What they've found out is confidential and need further investigation.

Then this morning there was a news story about what's the reason why girls have those fat bellies and keep on increasing the size of their waistlines? What could be the culprits to all these?

According to the news, it's the television doing that to them. That watching too much television shows can increase your waistlines. Really? I think that's crazy!

I think it's the FOOD, the kind of food mostly fastfood that can increase the size of your waistlines. What are the ingredients in those food?

Then what else could we add to that? What makes you fat? Girls in the past wear girdles and tight vest to keep their posture straight and have those tiny curvy waistlines as if they are barbies. But too many suffered stroke and other malady because some of them were unable to breathe. That I wont do just to  look curvy and sexy. I don't want to look fat either it's just that some food have those ingredients that we have to AVOID.

Now let's go to Erin Brokovich. Yesterday it was replayed again so I watched it and take note of that "hexavalent chromium." You want to know the exact description? Go check your book or google it on Wikipedia.

You Think You Are A Cook?

Do you love watching food network or those chefs who tried in each and every way to impress us with their expertise in cooking gourmet food?

Well I do love watching their crafts. You learn so much from them in their style of presenting how simple meals can be better elaborately cooked and presented to be almost perfect. But know what? If you are shocked on how Chef Ramsey showed his earnest in his battle with wits and helluviah one hell of a kind stormy hell kitchen with neophytes then watch him being sober when he's at Masterchef. He's with two other chefs tasting the food cooked by some of the would be masterchef whose occupation are varied and who would think they will be a "cook." But you know everything is always been a practice and training on the job. That's what it takes.

Our parents are not meant to be chef of the house because they have their other duties and obligations aside from having their day job in professional manner working for a company they signed in. Cooking at home needs no professional help if it's a family meal you have to prepare and cook. Having a restaurant is a different matter.

So what's the issue here at Masterchef TV presentation? It's more like a culinary school where the apprentice have to tackle trivia, making new recipe,  problem solving and way to eliminate other apprentice so that they can boost their own morale and be the only remaining chef at the end of the show. They are to be presented with rare unique kind of main ingredients and it's up for them to prepare and cook one delicious meal for the three judges to taste and have on the spot reviews and comments. In all these situations you as a television viewer can observe and identify who should go home and remain to compete. Who seems to be knowledgeable and who has expertise in cooking? Who can tackle obstacles and pressures without so much problems and most of all who amongst them try to eliminate themselves so that they can go home earlier than the rest of the cast of characters? Who are more enthusiastic and willing to learn for the sake of learning the way of the Masterchef?

Obviously, I can identify those signs. However, I wont reveal that to you. Let say there are fast learners and there are slow learners and most of all there are students who learned the hard way and willing to stay for the challenge and the competition it gives to their status. Others just run out of luck or their luck is not there but in another competition. It's more like tactical to practical.
-------------------------------------------------------
Amazing? But we all have to move on. Opportunity is given to those who would like to exert effort in a way that is more than pleasing to that person. It's a mind thinking that at first start when you feel you are feeling left behind or the situation doesn't suit you then it's to move on another level and try something else. Never try to stay on something that keeps dragging you or tiring you down. Remember the DESIDERATA okay?
-------------------------------------------------------

Food Galore? Oh my! You love going to restaurants? Or would you prefer the fast food? Men love fast food delivery or take out. They are happy with just pizza or hamburgers and french fries. Some people love the lean cuisine and others like food that are not doctored. So much seasoning sometimes spoil the food. For those with ailments and allergy there are so many DON'TS.

Have you been to the finest restaurants in your local community when you are served with fresh dandelion leaves to eat? That's fresh vegetable salad? Dude are you out of your mind? Even deer and other animals don't eat them. They are not veggies. It's not edible! Those dandelion leaves have tiny thorny spikes that can damage to your throat what will happen if you have that in your stomach?

What happened if you are served with a different kind of fish instead of what you ordered let say "halibut?"  You ordered halibut and you were served with cod fish!!!!! Did you know that cod fish is sometimes fatal for those who have cod. allergy? Besides the ones eating halibut knows very well the "taste of halibut" from that  other kind of fish. I should have sued that waiter and waitress that day I have to suffer from the change of fish I ordered. I could have sued the whole company, the restaurant!!!!!! Well those "face" I wont forget. They are killers!

That's why it's important for the restaurant owners to have a "meeting" with their chef, line cooks, bartenders,  dishwashers, waitress and waiters. In big company the masterchef or owners time and time again have to send their workers for FOODSAFE training and testing. Or other company hired those with certificate on Foodsafe. It's better that way for our own security and safety.
