The ORIGINAL FILIPINO HERO

 It's good to know that there are ONE MILLION FILIPINOS in Canada and there are 175,000 Filipino population in BC. Wow! That's a lot!

What a humongous population of the same heritage, culture, tradition and one religious belief can do for a new country they decided to reside, live harmoniously and peacefully for as long as they shall live? Actually too many to mention... 

Remember as always "ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country."

 A Filipino Cultural Center will be the future endeavor to be built and created in Vancouver.

A Cultural Center that will showcase Filipino talents and skills in the Arts & Entertainment. Maybe they will feature the ingenuity of famous painters, sculptors, woodcarvers, graphic artists, cartoonists, 3D Animators, maybe they will feature events such as Gala,  Zarzuela, Passion Plays, Vaudeville, etc.

Aside from  several business(es) some Filipinos had been in recognition: restaurants, fast-food, coffee shops, bakeries, salons-beauty parlors, home for the aged, variety-specialty stores, flower shops, jewelry stores, daycare, etc.

Filipinos are usually business-minded. They are good in what they are doing with the sense of purpose helping others to thrive.

Anyway, what else is there to showcase?

Tomorrow in Vancouver, BC the unveiling of LAPU LAPU DAY to be recognized and honored in Canada. How this happened?  

 

LAPU LAPU the first National Hero of the Philippines who fought against the Portuguese Ferdinand Magellan. Invasion in such "island" was not possible because of Lapu Lapu's courage and bravery. 

Okay whatever it is the code & conduct on the secrecy and how and why Lapu-Lapu instead of Dr. Jose Rizal is beyond me. 

Or why choose APRIL 27, 2024 the special event date for such honor.  

Whether You Like It Or Not

 If its not housing crisis... then it is all about food. Canadians are buying cheaper frozen foods instead of buying fresh foods. Why not? Aren't we all insensitive to high inflation and high cost of living?

For God sake! How many times this subject being tackled in all the news networks for how many years now? For about ten years on and on, non-stop, very redundant. It seems like all the people here have alzheimers and dementia.

Nobody can afford anymore. The news of wage increase is not really the solution because it will only increase the price of commodities. It is a lost cause.

The government issued a solution: billions of dollars for funding school food program. Good idea! Let those parents volunteers for the schools where their kids are students of such institutions. Volunteer to be cooks and kitchen crews for the cafeteria. Now they are thinking they don't have a cafeteria. lol

Recently, a farm somewhere in Canada provided free ugly potatoes for those who want it and you wont believe how many people avail of such freebies. Long line up to get bags of potatoes.  Those farmers should be praised for good deeds. Not all of those potatoes are ugly. A bag of potatoes in year 2000 valued at $2. In the year 2010, a bag of potatoes worth $4, and now a bag of potatoes worth $10 for 20 lbs. Getting a bag of potatoes for free? That's a miracle.

When did you noticed that everything has gone up high except our height? Do you remember?

Year 2019, 2020 when it started to feel something is very wrong in our world. Millionaires and billionaires don't really feel it (really?) but because their minds thinking about "bunkers." Why? They are afraid of the unknowns. The unknowns that we don't know about. ???  Then the pandemic + the war between Ukraine & Russia. The Israel-Hamas War. Are they the beginning of the "armaggedon?" 

FOR GOD SAKE WHO KNOWS?

There are many wars that other countries are not affected when it comes to economy but when Russia and Ukraine got into war the price of gas and oil and other basic commodities heightened stratospheric high. Is that conspiracy theory? 

Please it is time to end all wars!

Looking at the map, how large is Russia compared with other European countries?

Canada is such a large country too. However, Canada and Russia has one similarity in its demographic area. You know what? The presence of tundra. Tundra is not really good for anything except that it becomes a "barren" just a place for lamentation and isolation. Nobody lives in tundra regions of the earth. It is the 'alien territory" as if you are in another planet. Well, better than Mars & Jupiter for sure.

For some billionaires wanting and wishing to live in Mars probably been daydreaming to be "alone."

No man is an island. Hmm, it's getting cold once again. You thought springtime is warm and sunny...

UPDATE: If its not wildfires in Canada, then recently EARTHQUAKES in Taiwan. Earthquake felt too in New Jersey, USA that everyone's warned to be prepared DUCK, COVER & HOLD.

Too many had fire drills, earthquake drills over and over again in many parts of the world but when the right time comes, suddenly, abruptly due to panic attack nobody really knows what to do.

Lots of Puzzles

Trying to figure out a certain "route" to my novella I decided to tackle new topic and places that will show in a "map like" evidence. So I sketched that "route" and I will find a way to that maze later told myself. Hours passed by while doing some re-editing of my novella and while watching AMAZING RACE ON TV ...my jaw almost dropped. The contestants for Amazing Race this time went to Indonesia wherein they used ropes to hoist them down inside a cave. It's more like a dead or extinct volcano where they were given the next clue and later at the end was given a piece of "mask." Darn!!!! Shocking! Know why? That's a sequel to my novella BOTANY IN BORNEO.

Of course I feel upset! Who wont be? How could they know the plot or storyline of my novella? That's why I am trying to change the storyline of THE SPIRIT OF VERONA but lately there are people who would rather have it changed to THE SPIRIT OF THE IRISH. Why? When is St. Patrick's Day? Would you rather have Halloween and Christmas?

Now Pinay has this Mayon Volcano for Nora Aunor and Taal Volcano for Vilma Santos. Then Pinay had the golden gate for joining the volcano and another island altogether with a bridge? Right on!

The invisble curtain covered with fog!!!!! Okay let us have another structure to that. Let us have Jim Carrey crossing that area and then rammed his boat with a tall structure called THE ROCK!

"The Golden Gate of Giotto. There are too many "structures" here on earth that will eventually find you totally amazed. Someday they will all be a MAZE and PUZZLES. Think of it as YOU ARE ALL IN THE PHILLIPPINES! That's the final answer. No more Olympic games.  The Philippines is bigger than you can imagine. It's  an archipelago that has 5 layers. You wont believe who lives underneath the huge island. What country inside the country of Philippines.

Remember the Telegraph Hill in LA? I remember being there in that spot at a very young age. Actually that's a part of the Philippines before 1970. So why it belongs to America? Quiapo area is Japan before WWII.

Could it be that Mayon Volcano is also Mount Fuji?

India ? You know where India is?
