It's The Red Tape So That Everyone Can Follow

Meeting hurdles are part of human nature and part of blogging. The more hurdles or barriers the better? Uhm... think again. It's more like a burden or can make blogging uncomfortable and slow. But I think that's their idea of making it too SLOW for us to move. Think of it as RED TAPE.

Lessons We Have To Learn Everyday

More news about the power outages brought on by snowstorm in Toronto, Ontario. Heavy snowfall in that province of Canada made it chaotic for so many home owners to vacate their place and moved to community centers to keep themselves warm. Although there are houses with fire place where they can burn yule logs still is not safe to be inhaling all the smoke it gets through the house. To stay inside their vehicles for the long duration of winter boredom you end up day  from inhaling of carbon monoxide. It's fatal! Nope you can't smell it. Oh my ! Just the usual every year dilemma of winter. Power lines been cut off when tall trees keep falling on the lines  thus resulted to power outages. Looking at how affluent the neighborhood who would have thought that only few have power generator. One Samaritan helped other neighbors have a generator to keep them warm. How nice! Next time they should purchase generators so that when times like this or any kind of calamity they can cope up with the cold winter season. Lessons learned that my family keep a generator of our own just in case.

I think somehow they knew already the effect of such devastating effect of winter storm that some of them were out there enjoying their holiday vacation somewhere in the tropical countries. But beware hoodlums! All those houses are protected by alarms. That's the great good thing living in such wealthy, richy environment.

Darn! I was thinking about the leaf blower and the two round X'mas tree stand holders that were stolen from our garage and the leaf blower from the place of work. Who will do such nasty act of crime? Maybe will install an alarm and a video security camera just like the popular TV series : "Person of Interest" where every corner of the city has surveillance videos. Where every action is caught by the digital camera. London in UK has some kind of security like that and in New York. Expensive and costly! Computer monitoring of every action per second throughout  the day and night? That's where the money goes. Don't expect that the pension of every person in that city to go up nor there'll be pension available. The sad part of life.

There'll be no thieving or any kind of crime being committed  when you treat people as they are, imperfection required and maybe when children are moulded to the right education at home and in school. Character Education subject should be added in the student's curriculum in ELEMENTARY so that when they grow up they know the value of such education. Teachers have to set a good example to their students.


Husband bought a square type Xmas tree stand holder which is costly, found that it's worth $ 18.99 at Walmart. Not on sale!

Boxing Day was crazy for so many of us. I woke up at 4:30 AM yesterday but I was not in the mood to have that panic buying of a 55" TV Element that was on sale. We already have a 50" TV. I think that's good enough. There are only few items or products that were on sale and not even good enough to buy. Or it's because some of them were sold already. Some items are priced so high. OVER PRICING IS REALLY, REALLY BAD!

There was a long line up at Target store. At least this new store is catching up with the competition. Walmart, Target and Dollar Store have same priced items now too! How incredible is that? It's terrible I think. I mean really if the competition becomes so tight, people will go shop at the store with the lowest price. Whether its' the quality that matters, people will still buy cheap products for the sake that they will wear those clothes once or twice and then it will be given away or donate to the thrift shop. It's the same with the shoes and bags.

However there are few people who will have a collection of their clothes, shoes and bags as if they are their prime collection. They are the hoarders!

Some people I know are rich because they are thrifty. They would rather shop at the thrift shop for less than what you bargain for. Nothing's bad with that at least they have a good warm home, they have vehicles and most importantly they have financial capability to live without asking others to pay for their rent, pay for all the things they need and food they have to eat everyday.

What's New?

Door to door mail delivery is no longer in effect in Canada. You have to take your mail from the community mailbox located at designated area within your community. Then the price of local and international stamp went up to. Not only one of those bad news that you will have to adjust next year, which is next month. There will be laid off people who will be in search of new employment not to mention there are so many millions out of work already plus the seasonal job that's only available during spring time  and summer time.

Those are bad news alright. Why it was announced at the time when Christmas is just around the corner?

Maybe warning us to be thrifty? Warning all of us to save food and to save extra stuff for our own good.

With the calamities happening in the Philippines you know that there is something wrong happening that we should know and investigate. Hopefully the good influential people should have the proper way of empowering people who have the ability, the conscience to help other people in need. Find out if there is graft and corruption behind all those calamities. I don't think such calamity is God's way of annihilating mankind. Find out if its man- made calamities. Then let those corrupt officials pay for those victims of calamities.

It's Friday the 13th today. Those who believed in superstitious belief this is not a good day. Well you know that's the title of that horror, suspense movie "Friday the 13th." The legendary Jason whose very restless soul can't stop revenge. I only watched three sequels of this frightening movie and after that no more. It's the end of horror movies because of its violence, too much dying and killing is not good for the mind. END!

For those who believed in lucky number 13 they think they will have good luck? I don't know what kind of luck they have but truth is 13 is bad luck! It only sufficient to say that maybe they were thinking of the 13th month pay bonus for workers. For the employers that's not luck and it's not lucky. Other than that is nonsense. END.

My favourite number is 5 and 7. Sometimes it's the numbers 10 and 24 my luckiest numbers.

For the many people who look forward to the 15th and 30 or 31st which the numbers of the calendar that workers are paid with  wages and salary then these numbers are really good.

Sharing is caring but I cannot share everything. There is limit to something we can share to others. Sharing the food when there is enough is pleasantly okay. Sharing gifts is good if you have enough. Anything that is ENOUGH you have to share. But what is that enough about?

Resources is not enough and you have to understand me and the others who think about the future. Think about your family first. Think about January 2014 and the next month to come. Taxation to think about for the month after February.

Rich, wealthy people can share because they have something to share and give. Or let them pay the right amount of tax and disregard loopholes.

There are so many things to think about that's why it's good to save.

Sharing information is good when it's beneficial for everybody. It's really up to individual if you want to share info that can help people when it comes to safety, health, and happiness.

Caring Is Sharing

I once read an article from a popular tabloid that famous celebrities such as Madonna have problems whenever she goes to restaurants. It 's either she encountered negative remarks from waitresses or waiters because of her being a diva. Well, she is a diva alright what can you say. Maybe she is being pestered or being bugged that's why.  She had so many stalkers. There are stalkers and paparazzi that never stop to get some scoop news. Paris Hilton met such problem and many others met the same stalking and the most violent stalking happened to Princess Diana and the stalking ended in a car crash. She was a great humanitarian loved and respected by so many people why that fatal accident happened to her just because there are bad people out there whose motive is about making life miserable for all of us?

Then a famous author of books always try to hide what coffee she drinks. She always cover what she drinks. Why? Yeah, just the word WHY is becoming redundant but because it answers to "because" and gives reason to explain and describe, define and emphasize the matter. The conclusion and the summary embodies the whole complete result and answer to the inquiry.

I should know right? Because there are psychotic out there who keep doing the WRONGs. It's either these psychos got nothing to do but do something bad and the police cannot do anything. Sometimes its not even the drinks they are after but also the food. So be very careful with what you buy. I always have to watch and investigate what I eat. What I drink.  Makes me paranoid just like the TV broadcast journalist on TV who used to go to the fish plant to find out where those fish came from and how they processed the fish. I think people with cancer becomes paranoid. Who wont be? Paranoia is becoming evident even if people are not sick, even you have cancer. It's part of life that makes you care about yourself. When you care about yourself you learn to care about the lives of others. WHEN YOU CARE ABOUT YOURSELF,  YOU CARE ABOUT THE LIVES OF OTHERS! Do you understand? It is because of some paranoid individuals that make us secured and safe against criminals and terrorists.. Remember the former Pres. George W. Bush was in the news before being paranoid about Bin laden and who wont be? Are you not paranoid? Not paranoid? You are a robot and simply you are not a human being.

Other famous actors and actresses will put a mask or cover their face with heavy make up and others do not wear make up as cover, camouflage themselves so as not to be known in public while being in public places.

Why the camouflage? Why the decoy?

You just don't know what ordinary people or strangers can do to you and to those popular movie stars, celebs? Even sports athletes, hockey players, soccer players, anybody who works for the media and Hollywood COVER themselves like as if they HIDE their identity when they are not in front of camera. When they are not paid to do the work then the more they cover themselves.

A certain literary agent keep on warning her co-writers to cover and be  watchful not to be in the limelight and as much possible remind other writers to keep themselves in the low profile and not to be the target. Just as I finished my blogpost somebody is trying to copy my "face" and God knows what she will do and inflict and then injury? Why too many thieves? Now you know why writers and authors of book never provide lots of photographs?

Too many strangers whose motives are unknown and undetermined. Look at what happened to  the former Pres. John  F Kennedy. Then to John Lennon. Who would have known that his fan will kill him? Scary right? Selena the Mexican singer killed by her own manager. So really its weird out there. They : celebrities and politicians including the big fish have been briefed about how to act in public so that they wont be harassed and taken advantage of by people they do not know personally. Outside their comfort zone is  a matter of  risk.

I seldom eat outside or have fine dining at restaurants. Maybe I'm a very choosy person or would rather like to dine in restaurants that I know who the owner. It's common knowledge now that there are restaurants who are violators when it comes to providing "good safe, safe clean food." I mean food that should be eaten because it's the usual food that we usually eat not doctored or covered up. Or not a food replacement of something else. Or simply not "switched" with something that you eat because of its allergic reaction. Side effects.

I happened to have lunch at a Japanese Restaurant before and it turned out it's not a Japanese but Korean Restaurant. Just like the Japs they also have sushi. Their "udong" noodles is simply not the "udong noodles that I used to buy and cooked at home. Their udong is very slimy and slippery. It's almost like an eel. I haven't eat nor taste eel before but their udong is somewhat creepy. What I want to complain is that if they are advertising and selling food they should match that udong as udong that human beings knew and eat. You don't switch any kind of food just to prank somebody or else you'll be sued in court or lose your business license.

Long time ago, that kind of rude customer dealings by the staff of any restaurant will end up in a war. For once I read an article when the whole town was burned because of such anomaly when they are feeding certain food that is not ordinarily being taken as food.

Paying for such food and service is a must, right? Customers paid for whatever is purchased and the vendor should sell according to what is supposed to be the "order." Why not say that what you have there is "eel" the slippery eel not the pasta noodle made of wheat or rice. Inform the customer about such food so that you wont be crossed out and wont result to ethnic cleansing. Is that too much to ask?

In one of the most popular restaurant also here in Canada when I ordered a halibut and when I tasted the fish it's a different kind of fish. For such price, costly the price of halibut and they had given me a lesser quality fish? You think I wont taste the difference? That's the last time I will be in that restaurant. Classy restaurant eh? Please change. You can't fool all the customers in your restaurant.

What else? Coffee? There's a rumor that there are coffee so unique that is very expensive and people like to drink the coffee from the poop or droppings of the alamid. Alamid is a rodent. It is an animal and eating the poof for coffee? That's disgusting!!!!!!!!!! Where else alamid roam around the coffee plantation? That animal could be anywhere, everywhere from the drainage, stinky canal , to the rotting flesh of another animals, to the underground, to the grave and cemetery. If you want to eat droppings from alamid then that's your choice. But for majority of us who love coffee and COFFEE SHOULD COME FROM COFFEE BEANS not from any kind of beans. Replacing the usual coffee beans with a different kind of product is dangerous. INFORM THE PUBLIC OR CUSTOMER who BUYS YOUR PRODUCT if not then resort to ethnic cleansing again and your town, city or country will be manned, inspected, investigated and if found doing wrongdoings will resort to a judicial system. WHY? Too many are getting sick. Clean your act or be sorry!

I'm so sick about those rumors upon rumors of product being switched with another product.

Then there is that curry paste that I bought in another department store. When I opened it I was shocked and throw up to the disgusting stinky smell of poop ! What the hell?! It's not curry in it. It's poop!!!!!!!!!!! Shocking! It was in a pleasantly wrapped package looks classy but it was poop inside the package. Disgusting! Now you know why Gandhi never eat? The public was told that he is fasting or on hunger strike during the pandemic in India but the truth is he doesn't want to eat something that will make him sick. The country had so many of those cattles but they are sacred and can't be butchered and eaten. People who were caught selling the stinky poop were massacred, and others bludgeoned to death. I read that news in an old magazine. It was the start of the civil war.

How many people are sick now? Because some stupid people sell some unedible food to poison all of us? Others will eat anything but because they knew what they are eating and it's okay for them. Just like those contestants in Amazing Race that they ate snakes (cobra). Why they can't say no? They could have just said no and walked away. What's stopping them to walk away and quit? WHO's stopping them? Is it their choice or their own intution to be there in the first place? Really I don't know the answer. They probably applied on their own will and participation to the show. It's up to them.

But as I said if I paid for the food the FOOD should be FOOD that humans have to eat. If its paid with money, cash, cheque or debit card or credit card then that's food should be food. In any place where food is bought the FOOD shoul be decent food not dirty food. And if ever we are invited, the people who invited us should serve real food no other substitute it 's just the REAL FOOD that humans eat.

For God sake! Who are evil in this city? Who are the demons in this island? No wonder the island is being manned by drones.

GOD help me to forgive those people who are evil and I let you avenge me against their immorality. It's up to you dear God what You will do to punish those evil doers, without heart and conscience and let them suffer for the mistakes they did to offend me.

The Man Called "Madiba" Has Died At Age 95

The world famous humanitarian Nelson Mandela passed away yesterday at the age of 95 (1918-2013). All political leaders around the world rise up to pay tribute and famous quotes were then collected from all the dignitaries close to Nelson Mandela to ensure that this man has taught revolutionary ideas that are sometimes good for the country and for the economy. He was the leader of the anti-apartheid and lead his country against oppression and racism. He was a man of conviction and kindness despite all the troubles he endured and caused to the government of Africa in his early years as a political leader. He was imprisoned so many times but was able to finish a law degree to defend himself of the inequality in the justice system. He was loved and patronized by his people. He was elected as president of South Africa. He was given an honorary citizenship in Canada. People who knew him personally hailed him as if he is Jesus Christ. He is likened to MLK or Martin Luther King for his accomplishments in uniting the colored people to have equal access in the government. Forever he will be honored as hero by his fellowmen. Rest in peace Mr. Nelson Mandela.

It Happened For A Reason

I'm watching the first Halloween movie of Jamie Lee Curtis. In this old movie he saw the maniac with the odd white mask that covered his face standing right there where the bushes are and she told it to her friend while they were on the way home. Jamie's friend went ahead to the bushes to find out for herself if the guy is there and talked as if he was there. It turned out he was not there and the friend was just bluffing her. However when she was already at home, he noticed that her window is open and again she saw the weird guy at their yard. Only her who can see the maniac. That's the kind of suspense thriller that made money during the 70's and 80's. Same sequel of this kind of movie were made. The loud screaming hissy fit and violence that never stop until people or movie goers hailed movies like this more movies are being filmed to rake money.

Halloween, Friday the 13th, Saw, Scream, Silence of the Lambs  all these violent movies have sequels upon sequels to terrify all of us.

While there are so many movies out there where they should have ROPES and GLOVES to prevent accident and to prevent the spread of communicable diseases.

Movies that need ropes: Twister, Return of the Mummy, The Perfect Storms, Cliffhanger, Indiana Jones, Passenger 57, Airport, Airforce One. Movies such as these ones wherein accident should have been prevented if they have ropes. You would like to shout, "get a rope!"

Movies. With those movies you are warned to always bring rope just in case the same kind of situation might happen to you in real life.

Movies that need Gloves: Silence of the Lambs, movies whose characters are doing autopsy and gathering evidence in  which you the viewer would like to shout, "use gloves for God sake!"

I know they don't need those ropes and gloves because it is the reason why the movie "happened the

way it is."

Oh well, December should be for merrymaking not for tears for fears.

Ang hirap talagang mag blog lalo na pag merong mga nakaw na lang ng nakaw ng opinion. Hindi lang nakaw ang gawa eh, chinichange pa yung spelling ng mga words na ginamit ko. Tsk! Tsk! Grabe talaga ha. Inggit ba kayo?

What Is Happening At The Philippine Senate?

What could be happening inside the Senate is something that you call RECESS. All the old people over 65 years old can "chant" or rather voice out their grievances, a therapy for people with heart ailment. What's the retirement age for workers in Philippines?

 It's funny to say that it's the retired who love to work and enthusiastic to work!

I think they've got nothing to do. They want to do something raking their own personal differences, throwing tirades at each other. No secret anymore. Whether they will deny or admit those negativity thrown against them. Do we really care? Do you care as a Filipino? With too many Filipinos with bag of problems and do not know how to solve them and the people at the Senate who should solve the crisis in the Philippines are also helpless.

What really could be the PROBLEM?

No fund! No money. No capital. Nothing. ?????????????????

People are unhappy because they cannot help and because of that their own problems are brought personally to the public to ease the tension. Everyone has a problem and if they cannot solve their own problem then how they can help you.

What's that character assassination anyways? Ah, you don't know what you can create with those harsh evil words. The Holy Bible is made up of STORIES. True stories of all the wickedness, evil and wrongdoing being brought to be heard and read. The longer the stories, more pages are made, and instantly you can already create a BOOK. Choose to read the GOOD of why that Book is created.

Remember the football player OJ Simpson? How many pages upon pages of documents were put on the table by OJ's lawyers? The inquisition to the murder created a lot of stir not only in the US but around the world. His trial in the court of California is longer than the trial of Jesus Christ and the records? My goodness tons upon tons of news created because of its controversy. Films, TV , magazines, newspapers feasted on this controversial trial after all the hassles what happened? So many benefitted from that infamous trial; many journalists, reporters, television networks, the media, the police force, lawyers, judge and everyone who contributed to that trial made money! Some of the lawyers, defense and prosecutor were offered to act in movies and TV shows after the trial was over. The controversial trial helped the city of California flourished in terms of economic condition.

You went to an exotic country and the first thing you want to see is the place that is truly majestic and extra ordinary. It's right there on the mountainous valley where acres upon acres of tea plantation is located. Lush greeneries, so beautiful providing calming effect because of its glorious colors. Then you get hungry, real hungry only to be terrified that the only food available in one small local restaurant  is snakes. Mind you, its not only an ordinary snake...the most venomous snake they have for delicacy in that restaurant are cobra. Live cobra are put into the outdoor grill and you can choose your sauce whether spicy vinegar or soy sauce to add zest to that unique food. Yuck! What will you do? Is there any other food in that area? Oh there are chicken maybe because there are so much eggs to boil in the nearby boiling hot spring just adjacent to the smoking volcano. No wonder there are so many Balinese dancers instead, even male dancers are accepted simply there is not much work for men. Uhm, that area where they gathered tea seems a nice place to work until you find out that there are so many snakes crawling underneath the bushes. The hazards. There's no perfect source of employment. But looking at the almost perfect view with the waterfalls and cascading water? Wow! That area could be a great site for spa and relaxation resort. It was the PIT STOP of the Amazing Race hosted by Phil Keoughan.

The location reminded me of a Mel Gibson's  movie. Know what? They should also grow coffee tree. At least I know that java originally an Indonesian trade mark makes the difference including their famous classic batik fabric.

I had a conversation with my Father and he told me that the only profitable business nowadays are certainly those that cater about food. With billions of people and the population continue to grow scarcity in food is very evident. Thank goodness the food here in Canada remain affordable and without tax if ever unaffordable and taxable we all should have our own vegetable garden and fruit trees around our homes. Fill the yard with edible plants. Green revolution should be revived once again in Philippines, and other parts of the world.

USO parin daw ang Bolahan

Napakaraming BOLA daw na nagpipilit maging headlines or headliner sa internet, front page of newspapers, magazines atbp. Kung gusto mo daw pag-usapan bigla kang umappear sa TAC loban so that the Filipinos will hail you as one of the HEROES of Philippines just like Douglas McArthur.

Baka mamaya yang Tac loban na yan eh yan pala yung Banda Aceh. Yung isang journalist kala nya Haiti yan eh. Kasi merong nagpost ng pictures na kapareho ng 2 locations na yun. So sino kaya ang credible? Please no more pranks. December 1st na. MAGSIPAGBAGONG BUHAY Na kayo!

How many heroes Philippines had in the past? Ang dami di ba? Unahin natin si Dr. Jose P. Rizal. Siya ang kauna-unahang Manchurian candidate. Mas dugong Chinese sya quesa dugong Pinoy. Pero sa history Malayo-Polynesian daw sya. Sa tutuo lang curious ang mga Chinese sa katauhan ni Rizal kaya gusto nila hero din nila ang last Emperor of China. Then itong mga Hapon gusto nila hero din nila si Dr. Rizal.  Bawat historian iba ang mga cuento at source of information. Kataka-taka di ba? 150 years' too long to provide any kind of information siguro kasama na ang mga bola-bola sa mga cuento na yun. May sarsa ba kayo?

Eh si Andres Bonifacio anong klase ba syang hero? Ah, isa syang Katipunero, rebellious . Lagi syang may hawak na tabak. Pero sabi ng iba edukado daw si Andres Bonifacio kasi sya din pala si "Oblation statue" sa UP. According to latest news, Andres Bonifacio was the first Philippine President not Emilio Aguinaldo. Talaga?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you sure? Sige na nga bolahin nyo ang lelang nyo.

The first president of the Philippines is an American. Hulaan mo kung sino.

Fort William McKinley, the Fort Bonifacio Rizal, then now known as Fort Andres Bonifacio, Makati once belong to the US. It's an American territory. That area location once have the American cavalry. However when the Americans "sold" allegedly the area they cannot change the name of American Cemetery. Sino ba ang bumili ng Fort Bonifacio? Ang laki ng lugar na yan noh. Yan ang Texas ng Philippines.

Bakit kasi hindi na lang gawing state ang Philippines ng America? Tutal Philippines was liberated by Americans from the Spaniards? Alam mo kasi mas diversed na kasi ang  tao sa Philippines. Mula sa iba-ibang lahi ang dugong nanalaytay sa mga Filipinos. Unahin natin ang mga Igorot sa Norte sa Baguio City, tribes nila galing sa mga Hapon, they were called the Ainu. Then yung mga lahing Pangalatoc galing sila sa lahing Indian and Pakistanis. pakinggan mo ang  kanilang dialect. Yung mga Kapangpangan  may lahi silang Mexican. Yung mga taga Samar at Leyte may lahing mga Indonesian, Vietnamese and Thais. Yung mga taga Bicol may lahing mga Indian, Viet, Chinese, Italian. Yung mga taga Mindanao may lahi silang Malays. Yung mga taga Quezon province, mga taal na Filipino sila. Sila ang original inhabitants. Yung mga original inhabitants ng Quezon ay galing pa sa mga islands ng Hawaii, Borneo, Burma, Canada, China, Ceylon, Andes Mountain, Brazil. Ilongot? O maraming ilongot noon sa Quezon pero ngayon wala na. Educated na sila. Yung may sumpit ay mga taong gubat na lang yun sa Borneo. Bakit nagkahalo-halo? Kasi gawa ng World War I and World War II. It's impossible to have another World War pag mix na ang tribes. Maraming kokontra.
