TALENT ALONE is not the only way to success. You have talent but you don't have money and you are exploited most of the time because of your talent then it's a lost cause!

Talented people are sometimes managed by wicked and greedy managers. It's the managers who are benefiting from it all. Too bad!

How you can change that? How in the world that talented people have to suffer?

I think it's about time that there are vigilants who should investigate on this unruly kind of exploitation. It's about time to face the truth and it's about time to be honest with your dealings. Opportunities should be given to the most talented people despite of  their age, religion, status and gender. On equal opportunity, equal pay for equal work? Would the wage equal too? Or the salary and wages is based on seniority and experience? That is for intelligent people to master. Seniority and experience always count! While attitude and personality plays a part in the workplace. Favoritism? There's always favoritism. The management favors employees who are hardworking or industrious, courteous and polite. Employees who follow the rules and code of conduct of the company.

The management hate workers who bite the hands that feed them. The management don't like lazy workers and workers who keep on complaining. If they complain they should at least inform the management and voice out the complaints face to face. If they are unhappy and felt they are unable to work in that company they should resign. But for the most reasonable ways to deal with things you are complaining about some bosses are not deaf to those complaints and maybe they can give you the right opportunity to work better and maybe increase your wages and promotions > much awaited especially if you think you are the " company's asset and liability."

Dancing With The Stars has ended last nite. It was team Tony Dovolani and Melissa Rycroft who won the 2012 DWTS Mirror Ball Trophy.

The Two Runners Up: Team Derek Hough and Shawn Johnson + Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy

The three teams were good dancers and they all received 10's in their past dances before. Whose teams are your favorites? What are the basis and what category do you think they performed to end up as runners up and winners?

Here's my own opinion:

Team Derek and Shawn - both of these dancers are excellent. Excellence in everything that they do performance wise they are what you can call "Olympians" seeking perfection and were trained by perfectionist. They never fail to surprise us with their risky dance moves and steps. They are the team who are not afraid to perform acrobatic stunts to stand out and be different from the rest of their group. They are one of a kind and they deserved to win and they won already in the past. No doubt that they are great! E for Excellence! They should join the Cirque de Soleil.

Kelly Monaco and Val C. - we all know that she is a soap TV actress, she made you cry in her dramatic scenes. She can dance and won awards already in this DWTS show. She showed what she knew and we know her dance steps already. We know her moves. She's beautiful and she's sexy despite her age so people love to see her and watch her on TV.

Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani - Melissa is a reality actress and a Dallas cheerleader? So she can dance. She's young and vibrant. She dances according to the music. She is simple and modest. They dance beautifully and gracefully. She's tall, beautiful and looks energetic. New face in showbiz. Only this team has no award yet and they deserved to be given an award as what those people said.

A dance doesn't need to be overtly pompous or over the top. But when other dancers excelled in so many talents other dancers have to exert too much effort to win. How to determine who wins? In DWTS they need points and score to outwit other dancers or teams. Score from the three judges and points from viewers. Now you know how those dancers won? Simple addition. Simple computation of score + points.

What really happened in the Amazing Race 2012 last Sunday? All the cast for the TV's hottest popular show was still in Russia. Abba and James (rocker and lawyer) was asked to produce a passport while the rest of the group or contestants were to learn Russian dance wearing military uniform. Well, that's after they finished with their exam about timeline (International dateline). In this episode the lawyer and rocker, James and Abba were eliminated from the race. The pit stop is unbelievably Russia. I think they were in Georgia or in another part of the world.

Family Guy's Stewie together with Brian the dog and another guy went to another place outside of Quahog and ride the time machine and were stuck in the World War era Jews vs Hitler. Stewie in desguised as Hitler is really hilarious. Bravo!LOL!

Rick Mercer (Rick Mercer Report) usually surprised us with his ridiculous antic, powerful messages enough for the politicians to throw tantrums and his many odd jobs and adventure along with an experience being a border patrol where he was caught off guard being thrown out from the boat as he was dropped on the sea by the coast guards. His courageous up and down zipline adventure and leaning to the highest tower in Ontario while the wind blew wildly and his rollercoaster ride several times to let his viewers that nothing frightens this man. He should be the next Prime Minister of Canada.

Oh that guy Mr. Justin Trudeau? He should not apologize for what he said about the Albertans. It's OK to blurt or it's okay to be opinionated. After all Albertans also have something to say to the people of Quebec. Everybody knows that. Canadians don't mind if you have OPINIONS. Be transparent.  It's time for people to talk. At least we know that Canadians can talk. It's about time!!!!!!!

Oh you think I forgot Cote? and the rest of the cast? No way.

1. NCIS
2. Amazing Race
3. Person of Interest
4. Johnny Test
5. History Channel
6. ET
7. Security Border

11. iCarly is my daughter's favorite
12. SpongeBob Squarepants is also my daughter's favorite to watch. She likes funny stories even if the story is you know --------!

Once in a while I also watch Stargate, Two Men and A Half,  and Dancing with the Stars. I would rather watch new television shows because sometimes the tv networks are showing mostly replays and old shows from the 50's era. I don't know why when we pay for our tv connection.

TV SHOWS and MOVIES

Favorite television shows my daughter and I love to watch every now and then:

1. Victorious
2. Fairly Odd Parents

8. BBC News
9. The Lang O'Leary
10. The Dragon's Den
11. Seinfeld
12. The Voice
13. Movie channels (five of them) + VOD

MOVIES I watched lately:

THE WAY BACK - movie about "prisoners" convicted and wrongly accused in RUssia were thrown in the "gulag" and into Siberia and suffered all the consequences brought on by the cold climate and without food whether they will survive it's up to them to be able to escape. It's more likely survival of the fittest.

EXPENDABLES 2 - I should have watch the part 1 first but anyway, because this movie is a combination of all 80's action stars, blockbuster movie stars such as: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Arnold S., Jason Statham, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Nan Yu (Maggie) chinese actress that I don't even know only now. Jean Claude Van Damme was a vilain in this movie. Shocking! So the story goes Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) asked the mercenaries Expendables to go on assignment once again but this time one of their men was caught named Billy (Liam H.) and was killed. The mercenaries then resort to avenge and on to revenge on this non-stop action movie with loads of  modern weapons and lots of explosion. Killing rampage continued for several minutes and the ending? You wont believe how mad Sylvester Stallone is. You wont believe his rage and character in this movie. You have to watch it for yourself.

DREAMHOUSE - Rachel Weiz and Craig (007) it's about a charming couple with two young daughters living in a small community with a secret of its own including the secret of the house they were residing. More of a psychological thriller movie and supernatural combined to twist your mind.

MOVIES I would like to watch next time:

SKYFALL, TWILIGHT's last episode, EXPENDABLES 3, DESPICABLE 2, DORIAN GRAY, REC Genesis, LIFE of PI

The True Meaning of Conquest

There are several movies I watched in the past few days. Although I will discuss them one by one and only the main highlights of those movies I have to relate. BUT do I need to when they can read the entire story of every movies in wikipedia? Right? So I only can relate what my opinion is with what I have perceived in those movies and why you should watch it too. Sometimes watching movies nowadays is not to know the true colors of those actors and actresses and just relied on their acting whether it can pass to the test. Did you know that there are so many movies and tv shows nowadays who are filmed with veteran moviestars yet they are using different screen names. I think that's good for them to try variety of screen names just to show the world that they cannot be left behind or stagnant because of their original names that may lead them not to be chosen for the roles intended in the movie or television shows. This also a barrier to the most bankable movie stars who are raking millions in the box office. Then suddenly the movies flop and they can no longer receive offers. It is in those moments that they have to recover what have been lost and try to regain their strength and try new venture by changing screen names after all it's all about ACTING that matters and name is just a matter or remembering them.

When I watch movies I don't care who are the people in it. What matters to me is the STORY. If the story is flat and ugly no need to watch it. Of course every moviegoers want to watch movies with beautiful sceneries and with beautiful cast. I like movies with people who not only can act but people with beautiful face. That's the reason why movies were in demand at the time of the Liberation. It is the time when Elizabeth Taylor and other beautiful actresses and handsome men were chosen to lead Hollywood. It is for these bevy of handsome, lovely, gorgeous and cute faces that lead us to watch movies. Even the uglees demand BEAUTY in every movies being made. That's the TRUTH. The uglees are the ones demanding that all movies should have beautiful people with beautiful face so that they can at least SEE the goodness of  the people on earth. Did you know that?

When the Spaniards brought VIRGIN MARY 's replica, statues and photographs in the colonized islands, the pagans were then converted. Paganism gone and Christianity ruled the world.

AMAZING RACE? From LA, USA to China. China to Bangladesh. Bangladesh to Turkey. Turkey to Russia. To Russia with Love? After the cast of characters for this round the world journey around the world, Phil Keoughan and his team went to Russia and found so many clues. The contestants went to find the clue card inside the yard full of statues. They went towards the biggest library in Moscow to find the four books written in Russian language. As a matter of fact only Trey and his fiancee had to do this task while the rest of the contestants have to learn synchronize swimming at the biggest swimming pool in Russia. You wont believe that USSR is built in the foundation of BIGger buildings and BIGGER ideas. They have the biggest shopping malls in the world called GUM arcade. Their museum is the biggest in the world. Their ship and so many buildings are bigger than other buildings in the world. BIG is the word! BIG is better according to Russians. According to the Marxists and Lenins.

In this episode of the race. They all have to unlock padlocks from the tree of love located on a drum bridge. Trey and fiancee were first to arrive at the pit stop and the rest followed. Abba and James had problems. First they lost their money in Bangladesh. In Russia they lost their bags including their passport. Rocker and lawyer > the occupations of these two guys. Passport! Is that a problem? Obviously it's a problem if you are travelling around the world and if you will board planes. Airplanes!

The power of attorney is not a problem for a lawyer right? But can a lawyer practice his profession in another country? There are consulates and embassies in every countries in the world. Actually nowadays it's not hard to get a passport unless of course the people who worked at the passport office is practicing the "red tape." Or problems with the "waiting game." It's always been "procedural type of getting what we want" wether we pay for that thing or not. Follow the law of the land.

How we want to travel in this time and age? Can we use our facebook account to facilitate traveling in different countries? Oh well, security at the airport would appreciate the need for passport whether you like it or not. Pay your passport, pay your visa, pay your ticket and keep clean and calm down. PAY is the secret word.

YOU PAY what you need, you follow the procedures yet there are people practicing red tape and trying to mess your good standing in the society you are residing then that's another story.

Person Of Interest

You can only eat edible food. You don't eat words! Next time study at your own peril and you did. Why it's best to read words again and again? Simply because you might end up freaky nerdy geek. However geeks are in. Too many geeks now not only in Greece.

PERSON OF INTEREST the television show about ex CIA agent and military man , his "boss" a well deserving eccentric nerdy who allowed a chinese stranger to use his computer while his dog guards him around the house. The stranger whom at first they never trust was able to help them traced something while the two or the crime buster duo did their wholesome job to destabilize criminals on the other hand a surgeon has to save a mob from dying on the operating room. The stranger owed his life from the duo so he was saved twice already and maybe that episode will show how he can be depended upon.

Issue of trust. The show is about trust. Whom you trust and what conscience is. Or is it job-related. It's only doing the work because of work ethics? Remember no one is bad or will do something bad except of certain complications of situation hard to correct or depends on reason. Human beings are not perfect, they have so much flaws. However when it comes to those people who are in the medical field they really have to make amends, they have to perfect their skills. Hippocrates oath...they have to master that too. Practice makes perfect.

Poser and Lies. What A BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I woke up this morning and know what to do because I always have a plan. My memory is always fresh. Memory categorized in declarative and procedural. I can use one of those types or both. I tried to open my blogs and have to tackle first and foremost my plans yet there are so many "mess messing up my notes here." Probably there are lots of "clicks" again.

Do I like CLICKS to have score and points? What do I get from it? Really I think it's best to have points from QF or Quality Foods instead. Or points from Walmart thereby you can freebies or maybe extra cash. If there's any. Ha ha ha! Dreaming.

What are here for? Dude I don't know what really makes money nowadays? Pose and be a poser in devastated landfill full of garbage and post a big banner and placard with the word HELP? I think that's the posers' big idea of raising money. Cry crocodile tears?! Nah, not bullying here but why not we have to be real and stop the LIES.

I know even if I type here and inform so many millions of people I wont be paid and neither you. You only get to be paid if you are on the payroll and if you are working with a CONTRACT! Yes contract to do the work. An agreement that by working in that company you have to work and your employer will pay you the correct amount of money called wages or salary. If they don't pay you then you have the right to sue the company. That's the real work. That's the binding agreement that satisfies worker and employer. Otherwise, it's all BS out there!

This is a special blog of mine that needs to be updated almost everyday know why? It's very entertainining. Yeah in my own humble opinion. lol. No, really this is a blog I feel like chatting to a second person or likened to reading Kislap or fan magazine. As of I'm writing my next topic, the movie "Band of Brothers" is on TV and the loud noise is simply suffocating. It's a war movie so machine guns, cannons and armalites firing almost non-stop. Lots of blood and death. Yikkes! I hate seeing blood. They don't have enough "gauze, " cotton and bandages in that movie. Lack of supply that's the problem during World War I and II. That's the reason why I didn't even try nursing or study medicine. I studied medical terminology when I worked at pharma but working in operating room? Nevermind. Scary!

Happy Veterans' Day! War movies been on since last week and you'll be drowned from all the messages of hope, peace, justice and liberation.

By the way, did you watch Leam Neeson's movie "Schindler's List?" That too is a classic epic movie of war and survival. How the remaining Jews survived from Hitler's invasion. Also the latest movie of Leam Neeson's "UNKNOWN." A movie about a spy and an assasin's attempt to recollect his past after a bout with amnesia.

There are so many movies I want to watch, the new and upcoming movies: Breaking Dawn part II, the last and latest  of Milla Jovobich's movie regarding zombies. PROMETHEUS, I watched it already and it's a movie you have to watch because it has several messages in the world of sports, your favorite TV shows, commercials and politics.

THE BIG BANG THEORY had a marathon of 30 minute show then another 30 minutes, then another thirty to showcase more of Sheldon's prowess and knowledge in chemistry and physics.

SEINFELD? Are they all reruns? They are good with "timing." Their show still is alive and kicking on airshows. A show about nothing and to nothingness they all entertained us with their slapstick and limerick, let me clarify sarcasm. lol.

It's great to have TELUS TV!

Movies, Movies, Movies!

It's nice ro have movie channels on TV and because I love old and new movies I have to enjoy these movies that are available on our subscription. Free anyways. What's on VOD is the one channel that we have to pay per movie order.

These movies I watched recently were on FREE movie channels.

MELANCHOLIA - The whole family relies on medication to treat their depression until they are consumed on the adverse effects of the medicine. Sad realities of life when rich family who lives in a far distance, away from other people and when they need the help it's impossible for them to get it because of the location where they live and their inanimate attachment to something unimportant. Sad realization of life and very unhappy ending. That movie brings sadness and abandonment of life-giving power to move. How could the whole family suffered such complex adversity.

HAROLD & KUMAR Christmas movie - It's an East Indian film. I never watch Bollywood movies but this is in English, meaning the cast and characters' medium of communication is in English. Very funny movie. It was hilarious from beginning to end. There's one guy there that looks like Filipino, actually he is a look-alike of Tito Sotto the Filipino actor and politician. I like the waffle bot. He is gay robot I think. lol Just kidding.

PASCHENDALE - a war story with Canadian actors and actresses. The story revolves during World War I.

CHERNOBYL DIARIES - Story of six American tourists who asked a travel agent to give them a tour to the infamous Chernobyl site. After twenty five years, the site is still plagued with radiation and the Russian guards at the gate didn't let them in because they were having maintenance and also they are not allowed to enter but the tourists asked so many questions and Yuri, the tourist guide decided to use the other way to get into the restricted site. They were only allowed to enter the old concrete buildings but not allowed to enter or go further were the exact nuclear reactor. They were about to leave the area when Yuri cannot start the ignition of his vehicle and that's the beginning of the non-stop suspense, drama, fright night, running here and there, crazy screaming and the rest is up to you to find out what really happened after wards.

Commercialism

The Latest News: After 6 days trade deal tour in India PM Stephen Harper and his wife arrived in the Philippines for the first time after 15 years, a leader from Canada visited Philippines. Great! There are millions of Filipinos here in Canada helping its economy more than ever. Filipinos brought billions of dollars to Hongkong, the Middle East and other countries in the world because as you know Filipinos are good consumers. We are smart trusted consumers! That's what every country needs. CONSUMERS!!! The consumers of good and services.

Other News: TV is the most indispensable tool in communication and therefore should not be eliminated even if  internet, wifi and other small gadgets are here to stay. TV is similar to appliances in your household and without televisions the house is not a home.

TV SHOWS that made to the top aside of course for the movie channels: VICTORIOUS, VAMPIRE DIARIES, BONES, NCIS, THE MENTALIST, PERSON OF INTEREST, CTV NEWS, BBC NEWS, CBC NEWS, CHEK TV, DRAGON's DEN, RICK MERCER REPORT, THIS HOUR HAS 22 MINUTES, ESPN, AMAZING RACE, SURVIVOR: PHILIPPINES, THE VOICE, NICKOLODEONS.

Well folks, Mackenzie was booted off  "The Voice." But your favorite Dez Duron is in. That's good enough? Dez is an exception, maybe. It seems like they are not into "teen sensation hearthrob" what they want is a singer that is mature and will take you to old age. Sorry folks with young hearts. I think it's time to open CANADIAN IDOL instead. Besides it's the show that made top stars and tops hitting the airwaves almost everyday. Who are the prodigies of Canadian Idol Show? Let me tell you: Jacob, Carly Rae Jepsen, David Cook, Theo Tams, Kalan Porter, and other singers who are very talented not only in singing but in playing musical instruments and writing lyrics of songs. Wow! Three in ONE! While other singers can only sing.

Whatever! What's next? Hockey Games? I think they are all busy somewhere else on planet Jupiter. Is there ice there? Uhm, I have no idea. lol

Soon it's gonna be GREY CUP on our TV. They should provide great new commercials ad similar to Superbowl of America.

I hate the plot of the VICTORIOUS teen show last night. Tori Vega was booted off the Hollywood Arts and it was her sister Trina who will replace her instead due to "misunderstanding." So Tori had a wicked idea asking Robbie to help her and Trina will help her too in this episode.

Oh well, this is the kind of elimination rounds happening not only in Hollywood, Bollywood, in politics, in schools and workplace around the world. Too many BOOTERS!

And all the blah, blahs again throughout the television networks. It's happy workplace again after the 2012 Presidential Election. Lots to talk about. They are happy that they wont pay 10% tithes. They will just tweet all day and night by the end of the month and after the calculations they paid more than and tripled  the tithes actually! Hahahahahaah! What a square! lol

How many are mathematicians in your country? I think we all have to eat munggo beans so that we can count with the use of our hands and fingers if we don't have calculators.

Tuesday, November 6, 2012

Nothing much to post really except some movies and television shows I watched recently:

1. The Secret World of Arriettty - an animated cartoon movie about tiny or little people who are in search for food and the little mother was trapped inside a jar only to be released by the boy who lives in the mansion. Small people, big people and their differences lead them to set a distance where they can  live happilly amongst their own kind. Good for children. Sure this movie has its own message that will tell you about making a difference and keeping a distance from each other for their own survival.

2. The Black Woman - I didn't really see the  whole movie but it is a little weird and scary because of the many figures and symbols that are so ugly in the haunted house. Almost of the scenes are filmed in dim - lit dirty dusty house so it's not really a good movie. The ending is a must see. Do I have to tell you what happened? Better not so that you'll watch it for yourself.

Truth is for avid movie viewers to watch movies  especially the new movies better not reveal the most important aspect of the movie nor leave anything for their imagination. Trailers should also stop featuring so many scenes from the movies so that viewers will not get bored inside the cinema and say something like " I have seen all those scenes in the movie trailers, what else is new here?"

3. TV Show Victorious has something new to be seen. Beck and Jade broke up. Beck asked Tori for a date but actually not a date, simply for companionship while they took the dog to the veterinary clinic. While Robi and Andrei were tossed upside down on the veranda, unable to get up because of how heavy their vege-tales suits. Ahahaha. Vege-tales eh? It's not a chayote it seems more like PEARS. Without their cellphones with them they cannot get help from their families and friends. Cat told the secret to Jade and the two went to see Beck and Tori at the clinic. Case solved when they were able to release what's bugging them for quite sometime although the two muppets at the veranda, lol,  seems like helpless without anybody helping them get up. Why not they roll over and hold on to the veranda's rail? Maybe there is a continuation. It's a witty smart show for teens and should be seen or watch more than two to three in one week or every week. Their show features conflict  with a twist then the resolution of that conflict. Wholesomely entertaining! Why this show clicks? It's because it is a comedy on a right timing, it's also a musical talent show, with few drama yup lessen the drama and romance. Concentrate on comedy but don't be so corny. The drama teacher is also a plus factor in this big comedy show.

Other shows: STOP children or teen' shows that featured stupidity so that our children will not copy what they are doing. They think their stupidity is the answer to life's problems.

STOP the television shows with corny, annoying actors and actress especially those boys who keep acting up like girls screaming  as if they are being circumcized all the time.

 STOP watching boy band who keep touching their crotch especially when they sing. VERY ANNOYING and very immoral. You don't want your young kids to follow such boys' malicious ugly behaviour. If their crotch's itchy pls. tell them to have doctor's appointment.

4. The Voice - Continuation of the show's performance of so many "look-alikes." Are they all in one family tree? Just like the stars of Victorious? It's okay if they belong to one family tree. So what? You want to see beautiful people so that you can reflect on the goodness of their reflection.

Wow! You know what? I never watch "The Voice" until they have the "Knock Out" portion wherein the singers who are real talented have to fight each other when it comes to their singing talent. I have personal favorites based on their skills, vocal chords, charisma and personality. I think singers: Dez Duron, Devyn, Mackenzie will go a long way. Unfortunately Aquile was eliminated which I think is more talented than the other singer. Who knows maybe I'm wrong eh? The contestants in this popular show are almost professionals. They are all good, besides their choice of songs are perfect! No boring song. Right on the target!!!

The judges and mentors: Christina Aguilera, Adam Levin, Blake Shelton and Ceelo Green are doing their mentorship and judging the best they can. After all they are talented singers and highly acclaimed artists. Great job guys!

While X Factor? Hmm...do I have to tell them the truth? I think the crying scenes and OA bullying scenes turned me off and the overused of stage lights and other psychedelic effects which overruled singer's performance in a bad way.

Dancing With The Stars? We all know that Ono is an award winning dancer and he won already so what else is new? Who will win? Peta and partner was really good in one of their fabulous dance wherein Inaba fell from her chair due to excitement but there is only one who will win the award and prize and of course the ones with the highest score. lol

I will continue to watch NCIS because of Cote de Pablo's presence that's it.

Victorious show is still my favorite and iCarly is my daughter's favorite show.

Sports? San Francisco Giants WON the baseball champ for 2012. Not bad! I know they will win. Not a surprise.

Next? When is the Canadian Football Championship? And when the hockey game will start? Looks like they are playing hockey somewhere else. lol Or am I out of the planet Earth?

The US Presidential Election continues after the killer Sandy Storm is out of the planet Earth.

Looking forward to watch the old movie "Chernobyl Diaries." Sooner than later.
