Being Hopeful To Welcome The New Year 2023

 My everyday awakening, having to sip hot cup of brewed coffee and having my half toasted bagel with butter and watching news on TV. My God the news on 11 pm news from last night is the latest news in the morning. Why?

Nowadays, or maybe just because the chaotic situation at the airport brought on by the snowstorm had passengers stranded at the airport for days, some longer than 4 days. Delay flights and cancelled flights. The news network had them interviewed one by one on what really happened to them as they spent Christmas at the airport, some people without food and water and others had no place to sleep because most hotels are fully booked and to think that they thought they are to board the planes where they are booked, tickets paid in advance and then waited long enough for them to get that feeling unimportant because nobody inform them when their flights ready or not. Then the problem of their travel luggage or suitcases that they cannot get from where they were stored when conveyor belt broke down. A woman was screaming bloody hell due to such chaos. Too much stress and pressure. 

News that could have you spinning in your seat too,  listening to their complaints giving us headaches. News that you'd better stay away and avoid. That situation will teach you great lesson when not to travel during peak season and during at the time of snowstorm. Well, nobody knows that snowstorm will have  a landfall at the time of your departure and at the time when you bought the airline ticket, as most travelers usually purchase tickets one month in advance.

Now that snowstorms over, the ice and snow melted in most part here in Vancouver island, don't know if snow melted in the mainland. The snowstorms felt now in Buffalo area, in other states of USA. 

No more snow please. From -7 Celsius to 4 Celsius temp. then maybe New Year would be much better to bear.

Advance

HAPPY NEW YEAR Everybody! 🙏🙋🙌

Earthquake?

 The 6.4 mag. Earthquake in California is a true real news! According to the NEWS NETWORK in Canada. POWER OUTAGE and water supply cut off. The photos and videos were only available for the news network to show at past 5pm yesterday (12-20-2022).

That's what it is folks! When massive POWER OUTAGE, no electricity then no electronics are then at work and what generator could be functioning when there's an earthquake. Everything from electricity to gas pumps are OFF, all you need to do is go to the safest place and where is the safest place when roads been cracked by earthquake? 

I don't know if they learned from earthquake drills but because California always been the epicenter for earthquakes in the US they probably are prepared.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In many movies, those people evacuated away from their homes were the first ones who suffered and or buried underground through the cracks. MOVIES. Fiction.

California is the site of HOLLYWOOD and sometimes we don't really know if a "situation is just part of shooting for film production."

---------------------------------

-In real situation of earthquake there's really nothing that we can do about it because it is unstoppable----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other NEWS:

Russia's Pres. Putin in Belarus while Ukraine's Pres. Zelenskyy was welcomed in the White House by US Pres. Biden. POLITICS! Zelensky's order of more billions $$$$$$$$$$$ of help from the US and he wants more PATRIOTS! Wow! A man who just ordered the higher office of the land as if he is Napoleon. lol. Totally outrageous. And you have those people in Congress giving him standing ovation? Clap clap clap clap non-stop. CRAZY! Weirdos. I should laugh at it. That's what happened when you are inoculated with mRNA.

Hello Watson))) Wake up! Hello EINSTEIN wake up!!!!!! ))) some people are going crazy right now. REPUBLICANS get ready with your agenda in the next election or else we are in great trouble. The donkey kongs are wrecking my Christmas.

Pres. Putin of Russia is highly intelligent man. Russia is a loyal member of the G7 and their strategic plans in the Arctic region is of greater help throughout the world. Zelenskyy is a starlet who is becoming narcissistic in his attitude. For him to wage war with the CIA ...is Zelenskyy once a criminal? Wonder if he is really a Ukrainian. Why journalists used extra y in his surname?  his DNA probably been compromised? LOL.

Sports continues as usual no matter what.

UPDATE:

WINTER SOLSTICE is happening right now and it's still dark at 9 am. 

Real News or Prank News?

 Sometimes, when I'm too lazy to post something have to put my composition in a "draft mode." Then when I feel it is timing or the right time to publish my post note then "just do it attitude is the right thing to do."

I don't really like to be the first one breaking any news. I hate being the first one to crack the code. I hate being the first one to know the secret.

This morning while watching the news on TV, a message trending on the streamline: Earthquake in California, 6.5 magnitude.

I turned on my computer to find out if Facebook has the news about the earthquake.

NONE. There's no news about the 6.5 magnitude earthquake.

Weird or what that could be a prank sort of news (on) from TV News Network. 

I hope it's not true news. 6.5 mag. is scary because of California's geographic or geological location as such that it is within the line of _______ and because how many tall building and structures, skyscrapers and towers in the state of California and is a cause of concern for its millions of people. The population of California is higher than the population of Canada.

While the whole province of British Columbia is experiencing frigid, frozen ice and snow there's nothing that we can do about it but brace the cold. Only few days from now and its Christmas Day.

Take care and be safe!🙏

Complicated Rescue Mission

 POWERHOUSE CAST + GREAT ACTING  + GREAT INSPIRING STORIES, what else could you ever ask for FIRE COUNTRY?

MAX THIERIOT as Bode Donovan in his most dramatic series as a dedicated fireman once again showed his rescue hero image. I wont be surprised if one day Max Thieriot will win a best actor award or at least an award for FIRE COUNTRY the best dramatic series on TV.

His role/part as hero in SEAL TEAM as a dedicated, devoted, courageous NAVY SEAL had been tried and tested however after all the injuries and legs amputated the script given to Max as Clay Spencer was too much to bear as being " a self-pity" on his part. I haven't seen the scene where he died. ? Did you? 

Then last night's episode of FIRE COUNTRY: Bad Guy, the rescue effort was futile, risky and dangerous. How the cast of characters did what they have to do in a risky rescue mission depends on the scriptwriter's strategy, director's order, performance of every actors in the fatal scene. Almost surreal. To rescue someone in great danger poses a grave danger too for the rescuers. It's not that easy!

TV Series & A Movie That Will Shock Your Senses

 Finally, Dr. Murphy & Dr. Audry had reconciled their differences but will take time, maybe up to the time that if she can walk again. 

Last night's episode of  THE GOOD DOCTOR had a true spinoff once again. How about the part of that woman who was admitted in the hospital for abdominal pain? It turned out that a piece of gauze or scrub towel was left hidden inside her after the surgery on her appendicitis years ago. OMG!! So shocking. But you know heard and read so many stories of such thing, if not scrubs if not forcep or any piece of medical instrument left behind inside the stomach of those patients at the O.R. what else could it be? Alien organism? Seemed like twilight zone.

Then a victim of rape or sexual assault don't even know she was assaulted because she cannot remember the events leading to her admission at the hospital. That also lead to knowing that Dr. Morgan was once a rape victim.

What about the surgery that leads to facial, youthful appearance and to be administered by the hospital president Dr. Marcus, formerly one of the surgeons. The executive position was held by Dr. Glassman before she was diagnosed of cancer by Dr. Audry, which by mistake it was actually just a meningitis. Dr. Audry had done so many errors (mistakes) from the past but never admit to those especially during the "outbreak." Stubborn as she is blaming Dr. Murphy for her paralyzed legs, when in fact she was saved twice as in 2x saved from ultimate death. 

THE CLEANING LADY. Thony's first priority is her only son Luca. She cares about Arman but she cares for her son's health and she is willing to save Robert from dying so that she can ask him again for the medicines that will only come from the Philippines. Arman was confronted by Garret (FBI Agent) to find out who killed the woman whom he had given the protection against the deadly gang. Arman had no choice but revealed the truth and Garret let him go but he will keep an eye on his every moves. This is the first time that a tv series tackle about Filipino families and a Cambodian doctor whose miserable lives keep adding up like a torment sort of pressures that never stop.

LA BREA... don't know if they will show it tonight.

THE TREEHOUSE movie. This is not a comedy movie, definitely not because this movie is somewhat horrifying, demonic and what else could be lying out there... TRUST NO ONE. Trust yourself and your good conscience and survive.

Sports: Tennis

 Usually the ATP Tennis Tournament begins in January 2023 somewhere in Australia. However, an advertisement of a Dallas ATP Tour for February 2023 advances with 3 popular tennis players promoting it: Denis Shapovalov, Tiafoe & Fritz. They have to promote the tour in Australia first, right?

Whatever! With the return of Djokovic, as being accepted or be allowed to play in Australia is more like a highly competitive sports once again. Then add Nick Kyrgios... the dark horse.

Hey, did you know that Shapovalov's record of speed serve had been higher and stronger than before. His highest speed serve > 216 km/hr > during the matches he had with other players. While Fritz had his highest speed serve from 212 km/hr to 222 km/hr. 

Sometimes it is the quality and speed of serving that lead to the tennis player's winning the set and the match.

Year 2023 ATP Tournament will be more exciting because those young players wont waste their time to develop their skills and advance, so be very aware that Holger Rune has an agenda, he wants to be on TOP ONE if not on TOP 5.

With TEAM TENNIS CANADA (Shapovalov, Auger Aliassime, Pospisil, etc) winning the DAVIS WORLD CUP 2022 adds more priority, with principle and determination to achieve higher. Well, let us hope so.

Year 2024 is the long way to go for the OLYMPIC SUMMER GAMES.

Where The Spotlight Is

 Do you like LAZARUS PROJECT? 

What is Lazarus Project? I don't really know what Lazarus Project until I watched every episodes. Story of George engaged to Sarah, a school teacher. The story progressed to ordinary day to day repetition of their lives and get repeated every JULY 1. It is more like a "Groundhog Day" movie but with twisted dark sides. It's not a comedy movie. George tried so hard to keep himself sane and aware of what will happen the next day, day after and then met other cast of characters who are also suffering the same conviction of having to re-live the same agony of having their loved ones dying or died instantly unable to control the event and situation, too chaotic to even remember. 

Last week's episode first thought that's the end. That could be the best ending or finale because it was a happy ending. Everything was back to normal and everybody come back to life once again. But you know the idea of LAZARUS is ... it's a the life of the legendary LAZARO the very first human who died who was touched by Jesus Christ and had his first resurrection, born again. 

Well, maybe that is not what Lazarus Project is according to the writer of that mysterious/suspense series. That's why more episodes are being unraveled on Thursday night - Showcase, 6pm.

Why every JULY 1 their lives are repeated again and again? What's the big deal?

Hmm, that's the  question. JULY FIRST is CANADA DAY. 

Hmm, weird or what CANADA is now in the world's spotlight.

Seriously...not serious enough

 I happened to watch the movie (2019) THE DEAD DON'T DIE. It's a story of a lonely secluded small town of few hundred people who managed to keep their town simple, ordinary and quiet until something strange is happening with the weather, with the day to day ambiance on this very lonely place when the day is longer than usual and the moonlight is pink in color.

The movie is quite slow as in nothing much of happening until it brought some few run-about existence of two hippie thugs that came out, dug out themselves from the graves and attack two innocent victims (the owner and server ) at the dine-in. Yup, those two punked zombies are very hungry and thirsty. You know that zombies can populate once they bit another humans to spread their zombie virus or more zombies dugout themselves from the graves. In this movie zombies can talk and utter the last words they had before they die, such as the word "chardonnay." Must be that she was binge drinking in her sudden death. To add alien or UFO sighting in this movie is uncanny and uncalled for. Who would have thought 10 minutes before the ending is no longer scary but funny sort of. One had read the script and the other one didn't know the ending.

Lesson for this zombie apocalypse is when you just watch, be a standby while those hungry monsters consumed the whole town and its people, what kind of police enforcers are they? They know how to kill the zombies but they don't have much weapons to overpower the mass killing of the undead. Three police officers cannot control thousands of zombies as they only watch while they attack the whole town. It's freaking cowardice or just plain stupid. They could just go on top of the roof top of the building and started firing. That's what it is, being sniper probably needs training or born to be a marksman  and to be a police you should know how to use your gun. If you only have shotgun when you should at least have armalite... hmm, maybe too much to ask if the budget of the movie production pays for such big stars and ammunition is just plain old guns with few bullets. Then they don't even know how to use machete as fast as it used to be when law enforcers should have the skills in all weaponry. The only one who knew how to handle samurai was the "alien" from Kill Bill. lol.

Anyway, it's a Bill Murray movie so its something for "comedy." Nothing serious.
