REDACTION

 Redaction is the process of editing a text to remove sensitive, confidential, or private information before publication or release, often seen as black boxes over text in legal/government documents to protect privacy (SSNs, PII) or national security, but it's also an older editorial term for combining and refining multiple sources into one coherent work. It's crucial in legal, healthcare, and government fields for compliance with laws like FOIA, HIPAA, and civil procedure rules, ensuring data protection while allowing selective disclosure.

That's AI Overview above of the word REDACTION.

The new EPSTEIN FILES were then presented with so much redactions which could be "useless" or tampering with evidence to protect the innocent? I first thought they were fighting for justice? There is no justice if there is a cover-up.

Anyway, let's just watch some other news, movies or series on TV. 

AMAZING RACE had its finale and the winner is Savannah. She deserved it actually because how many times she had the immunity and the tribe honorary medals for winning the games. She's strong and sharp. Outwit, outplay and she's the grand winner of ONE MILLION U$ DOLLARS. Congrats!

MOVIES I watched recently include: Divorce Party, Primal Games (Science Fiction), My First Wedding (Romance- Comedy),  Not Funny At All, Boy Wonder , Your Monster (horror), and Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning of Tom Cruise (Action, Suspense, Drama, lots of Action and death defying stunts). TOM CRUISE still is the world's best action star!

SFU: The Best University Being Used For Futuristic Events in Movies

 I was watching the popular HALO TV Series when suddenly the background, the building seemed so familiar and thinking that could be SFU, Simon Fraser University!

Yes it is SFU. That's right people, Simon Fraser University is ultra modern building that it is being used as the best futuristic background and setting for film productions. Great!!

For your information:

SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY had been used in most Hollywood film productions:

The Day The Earth Stood Still in 2008, starring Matrix star Keanu Reeves

Agent Cody Bank in 2002

Underworld, Awakening in 2012

The Fly II 1989

Antiturust in 2001

I Still Dream of Jeannie in 1991

Spy game in 2001

The X Files in 1993-2018

ARE YOU BEGGING?

 When the Prime Minister Carney of Canada was asked about the deal with Trump, the PM has blurted out, "Who cares?"  LOL. That's right! Who cares about the deal and no deal with Trump. People and the whole world are fed up with the stupid tariff and the TV Host for Deal Or No deal show. Canada's Prime Minister had tried his best. When he arrived at the White House to talk with Trump everything seems ok but later on the deal didn't push through then next time, the tariff was elevated instead from 25% to higher than 25%. Nothing's work with ever changing tariff deal. He can't make up his mind to settle things as in there is no "permanent deal whatsoever." And the opposition party thinks that the PM of Canada should go back to start dealing with the fuzzy mind. Look what Carney is doing is trying to deal with other countries who believe in FAIR TRADE and that's good enough. If the US wants a fair trade then accept the deal otherwise Canadians don't need to beg they could sing BEGGIN' of course.

Although love to hear Maneskin sing that song!


If I'm the PM Carney, I would wait until the craziness is over! You don't want going crazy over a deal based on fuzzy matters signed by a man who is mentally sick because that would be very, very unfair.

At one time in History there was a leader who was also in the same situation, hmmm wonder who that is. 

Anyway, have you seen an old movie of Brad Pitt, the Inglorious Basterd? I know that's wrong spelling right? But that's how it is. Weird NAZI movie. Who knows because its weird that could be a true story. Ha ha ha. 

Last Sunday, don't know if Episode 6 of TALAMASCA: The Secret Order is the season finale. ? I hope not. I'm beginning to like that TV series written by Anne Rice. It's totally different from other Vampire stories. It is more like an experimentation of smart vampires empowered with ESP & telekinesis power. How's that to you?

TALAMASCA

 TALAMASCA. Heard that weird word before? It is another television series based from Anne Rice's novel. Anne Rice is famous as a novelist who penned "Interview With The Vampire" and had been produced as a blockbuster movie  starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Kristen Dunst.

TALAMASCA is a Secret Order Society. The members are sort of powerful and possessed with special skills of clairvoyance, telekinetic powers and of course they can read your thoughts. They are mind readers, members of the EYE. They can see the future.

THEY ARE ALWAYS WATCHING, they are keen observant. 

TALAMASCA will premiere on October 26, 2025 on AMC.

Movies & Series

 I just heard that the local theatres, the cinema or movie houses in our small community of 50,000 had shutdown. Unbelievable! How that happened? It turned out it's only the Galaxy theater. The Landmark is still open. Sometimes its hard to believe what some people are saying. To see is to believe sometimes.

Why movie houses will close in the next future? Because of the many affordable wide flat screen TV measuring 55" to 75" maybe there is 100" wide TV with cinematic sense surround effect. With the new modern remote control that offers hundred channels and  you can press buttons to access free movies or rent newly released movies. 

Regarding free movies: Here are some of the movies I recently watched:

VATICAN TAPES. This movie has something to do with exorcism and the Anti-Christ.

FLIGHT 7500. Passengers aboard Flight 7500 encountered strange phenomenon in the sky while trying to find out what happened to the missing passengers one of whom died from lack of oxygen. There's more to it than meets the eye. You have to watch the real story. Don't like spoiling the whole story. Watch for it if you love mystery and suspense.

D-RAILED. Passengers wearing post-war costumes boarded a Mystery Murder Train. A seemingly "staged" fright mystery turned surreal and before they can even think right to escape from the train it was kind of too late. More mysterious events unfold until to the last scene.

NEW SERIES such as HYSTERIA, FROM on pause for now don't know when will it resume its next episodes.

While THE DAY OF THE JACKAL starring the talented, versatile actor Eddie Redmayne as the "Jackal" keeps surprising us with his bombastic approach to situation that question morality. The Jackal - who was a veteran British Army deployed in Afghanistan and had become a well decorated soldier, sniper. A sniper's mission is taking down only few targets as ordered by high ranking official. How he become an assassin was when he witnessed the brutal slay of Afghans family, clan, women and children when their troops were ordered to just take "one of the enemies alive." However, that's not the case as the massacre happened so fast and without remorse. Not following orders. That led Jackal to just take the side of that middleman who offered him and his one brother-in-arm to take the dangerous mission of being assassins by contract.

Remember what we had studied in Psychology (Hilgard/Atkinson) about what those soldiers had done in Vietnam? The PENTAGON had the war criminals prosecuted for the massacre of innocent civilians during the War in Vietnam.

JUST FOR KIDS ? Not Really

 Horror movies are very in demand especially if the movies depict about ZOMBIES. Think about movies for kids, are there any?

Not too many movies that are for good kids. You can count your fingers and toes... Well the for KIDS ONLY movies are mostly cartoons such as the latest SNOW WHITE movie, MOANA 2

Recently I watched kiddie movies such as:

PEANUT BUTTER SOLUTION. Old movie but still ring a bell for those young at hearts. Curiosity played a part in the story. How to solve a problem? Happy ending though. Watch for it from the very beginning.

THE BOY WHO SMELLS LIKE A FISH. Story of a boy who was born smelling like a fish until teen years. How he was bullied in school by his classmates led him to be "alienated" but that didn't stop there as he finds a way to "cure" himself.

STAR WARS: SKELETON CREW. I think this is a brand NEW TV SERIES at DISNEY+. Four talented kids (one is a half human half elephant) curiosity led them to new discovery, innovation and journey to outer space. It was good. Great I must say because you will keep on watching every episode for the thrill and excitement those 4 kids are up to wherever they travel from Earth to every part of the Galaxy. Comedy, fantasy, adventure, A.I. Science fiction.

All the above movies are also good for adults.

Competitive World In Education & The Workplace


 You heard of those people mostly Filipinos wonder why other Filipinos who are here already in Canada had advised you not to come here in Canada. Well dudes, you know the real truth? 

It is not about selfish acts nor being insecure. It is just a good advice not for you and your family to suffer racism, unemployment, the high cost of living will tend you to work on 3 jobs if you are healthy and able. You will become disabled for having to work hard to meet the needs and wants you desire to be at the height of your ambition. Seems like the kind of hard work you are fond of living in Philippines, right? Just the same in a different climate condition and other known high pressures. At least here, you can own a vehicle. Everyone can own a car because it is a necessity while in Philippines whether you are well to do, owning a vehicle is not a necessity because of the presence of all kinds of transportation. You get out of your home and you can call a tricycle driver to drive you to the market or passenger jeep just nearby. Bus is available almost everywhere you go. The problem in Philippines is the traffic congestion. A drive to the school or university can take only 30 minutes if there is no traffic. But in populated areas such as in Manila & Makati, that 30 minute drive can take 1 hour to at least 2 hours at rush hour. The worst thing that happened, you can be stranded in your seat inside the bus for more than 2 hours. You can use the LRT but with so many people lining up to get their way it's more like a battle. Yeah, sweat it out!

Yeah, the Health Care is free here in Canada! Pharma Care? You are eligible for free Pharma care if your meds more than $950 for a year. Deductible. Health Care free also in Philippines if you have the right card. 

Not because you are hard at work you are free from paying income tax in Canada. You pay more taxes here in Canada than in Philippines. You have 3 jobs? Not worth it. More taxes to pay. You don't pay tax on goods and services in Philippines. You can haggle or bargain certain designated places: market, business stalls, in textile and accessory stores in Divisoria & Baclaran. Haggling is really superbly important in buying and selling. Yan type ko sa Philippines yung "tawaran." lol If you're smart at haggling you get the product you like at discounted item. It's fun.

That;s why it's FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Education here in Canada is much better here in Canada? Hmm, not that I know of. But I think the teachers and professors here are easy to get along with. There is that "equal opportunity." 

The University professors in Philippines are mostly "bookies." They memorized their textbooks for lesson plan and they want the students to do the same. VERY STRICT. Ihad 2 Harvard Grad. professors in FEU so I know how strict they are and very orthodox method was used.

Our Philippine University esp. University of Santo Tomas built by the Spanish friars was the oldest, ancient, meaning Philippines way ahead when it comes to education and civilization. Wonder why Dr. Rizal studied in Europe instead eh? Spanish friars were hardened by the orthodox kind of doctrines imposed in them through the inquisition.  FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY is the best co-ed for International students and in Philippines, Filipinos not far behind in its usage of the English Language. Filipinos are bilingual and knew some other dialects too. I don't really know why some Filipinos would rather educate themselves in Canada when we have too many prestigious Universities in Philippines. I know why. EDUCATION IN PHILIPPINES IS MUCH STRICTER and OLD SCHOOL. Truth is education in Philippines is highly structural and you must be very smart. We believe in the ROTE SYSTEM. Mostly memorization. If you can memorize the textbooks the better you can be in the most competitive way. Lots of competition. Education in Philippines is like an Olympic sport. There is no way that you can work while you study. It's hard and it is not advisable.

For those who can study and work here in Canada while enrolled in University YOU MUST BE VERY SMART. Then for Filipinos to have chosen educating themselves here in Canada... those Filipinos from Philippines must be "richer than you are." Maybe they are kids from wealthy millionaire families and other motives behind that is I don't know for sure as giving them benefit of the doubt. I know they have reasons or they were promised or lied about of the real truth.

If they really like to study here in Canada who we have to deny them of their ambition. It's their lives at stake. That's their goal and if they are using their own money, not your money why not? If they become your hindrance, competition for work and from your own goal and vision of the future... then that's probably the problem. The point is, Filipino competitors would be your fellow Filipinos. The White Canadians or the people who were born here in Canada have nothing to fear but the unknowns.What are the unknowns?

NOTE: The AI Robot in the internet has manipulated my own usage of what should be capitalized and lower case. I tried to correct that error but still is the AI wants the Education to education for labels. WEIRD right? tsk! tsk!

That's what it is with ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and wonder why Elon Musk is afraid of AI. You don't want AI manipulating space flight and rockets firing esp. with S.A.M. in its trajectory.

Can you just imagine a space flight going to the Moon could land you in another planet?

There are too many UNKNOWNS. One by one I will have to tackle those unknowns. 

My daughter informed me that she already watched that FIRE COUNTRY Episode: All The Unknowns. LOL. Oh no! It was a replay. It's ok, don't really like the theme of this tv series starring Max Thieriot (SEAL TEAM star) who was imprisoned because of the wrong accusation about him and his true character. His lazy lawyer didn't really worked for him much. It is not his fault if his passenger on his vehicle wants to get out while their vehicle is at the highway and his sister wants out.  Pity on Bodie for being always the accused. Something wrong with the story in this series. Later on he was accused again and again and back to prison. So weird already. Their intelligence is out of whack. Then the girlfriend who is such a sl---! Is there anybody smart and more beautiful to be Bodie's new girlfriend in that series? 

Another UNKNOWN? Liam Neeson in this movie Unknown is another suspense mystery especially if somebody had amnesia and the only one who believes him is a female taxi driver, a stranger who happens to be a runaway.

Another unknown is the movie THE NET starring Sandra Bullock. What if...yeah WHAT IF that situation happened to you? It could happen to you if you don't have friends at work! If you are living a recluse life or everybody in your circle of friends are having dementia, amnesia and alzheimer's. Or the worst if all the living were victims of body snatchers and aliens.

Lastly, WHO...

WHO IS THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER?

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: Dead Reckoning (Part One), RETRIBUTION, MAGGIE & VINDICTA

 Movies we watched recently:

MI: Dead Reckoning - Part One. This is one of the most suspenseful/action/thriller movies of famous actor Tom Cruise. Death defying stunts jumping and falling  through the rugged rocky cliff defying gravity of course he jumped with parachute for safety! The most amazing thrill ride aboard the trainwreck was amazingly fascinating scenes of survival. I love the story of how fast their hands, sleet of hands and who had stolen the keys, the most valuable keys they had to get from one villain to another. Ethan Hunt is a MI spy agent and had become a magician to grab the secret keys that will open the door and the only one who knows about the secret of the 2 keys is the assassin who keeps following Ethan and the new female lead who is a professional thief.

What the mysterious keys  known for? Watch for it.

RETRIBUTION - Liam Neeson in his portrayal of Matt Turner,  a devoted dad and husband to Heather Turner, they had 2 kids :  son Zac and daughter Emily. Matt works for an investment company. On the way to work he has to drive his kids to school however that day, he received anonymous call from a stranger who left his cellphone in his car informing Matt that there's a bomb in his car and he ever get out from his vehicle automatically the bomb will explode. Liam keeps on driving, calculating, analyzing everything, thinking of a strategy on how to survive and how he can secure his kids to safety. The anonymous stranger keeps on communicating warning him on the many serial bombing and explosions that happened to his co-workers. Finally, before the movie ends he had one last hope to avenge and survive. 

MAGGIE - Apocalyptic movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Breslin. Farmers were burning their contaminated crops. A contagion of unknown virus happened in urban and rural areas. Maggie was missing and his devoted father was in search for her and finally found her in the hospital after 3 weeks. He brought her daughter home thinking he and his wife could take care of her. However there is no cure for the virus that also affected some unfortunate families in their community. Days has passed by so quickly and Maggie is turning into a zombie. At the end of the movie, Maggie committed suicide not to prolong the agony of his parents and to settle once and for all to silence the will to live better that way rather than be a zombie cannibal or a living dead.

VINDICTA - The story of the movie begins with a  doting, truly devoted father to a daughter who works as a paramedic (Elena Kampouris as Lou)   making sure that she is safe and secured. Being a paramedic is of course an almost non-stop emergence of care and support for those who need it. In this movie, the female paramedic is being stalked by an anonymous stranger masked in "Vergil mask" and when all the serial killings happened, the paramedics discovered so many clues in latin quotes of vandalism left behind  by the serial psycho/arsonist. Well, if you like slasher movies: Halloween & Friday the 13th, then this is the movie you will have to scream at.

Worst Than Barbarians!

 Latest Movies We Watched Recently:

WAITING FOR THE BARBARIANS - Whether this movie story is a true story or fiction it is something to think about as such story is somewhat what happened in the past actually based on History. 

The story revolves around the middle-aged Magistrate (Mark Rylance)  stationed in the isolated outpost waiting for the high ranking officer to arrive. Colonel Joll (played by Johnny Depp) arrived at the outpost together with his men (soldiers) and they were given warm welcome by the Magistrate then after the feast in which Colonel Joll didn't bother eat nor drink he was ushered to the prison to let him see the two prisoners wanted for stealing. The two thieves were punished good enough to admit their sins but the Colonel Joll was actually a cruel man with punishment and tortured so severe that one of the prisoners died. You know what he died of? You have to do the replay or rewind of the video or disc if ever you missed what he died of. The other prisoner who had an unknown wound covered with blood still alive and was taken by Colonel Joll to their unknown journey and the Magistrate has to be on his outpost for the rest of the days and months until another officer came to visit then another surprise of a indigenous woman turned out a Mongolian woman who was badly wounded and crippled. The magistrate was so compassionate and kind to adopt her, treated her well and make sure she was cured and able to consciously get home to her tribe. The magistrate and his men accompanied the Mongolian woman to her Mongolian tribe and the Mongols accepted his bulk of silver and spare their lives and two horses. However, when the Magistrate went back home he was prosecuted by the warrant officer (played by Robert Pattinson - The Twilight lead actor) for leaving his outpost. He was hanged from the tree dressed in a woman's clothing. The humiliation is so severe in some ways but his life was spared. Days passed by and suddenly all the soldiers were rushing in panic when one of the lone officers came back home alone sitting on the horse tied down and his upper skull missing. Where's the brain? His head's missing his brains! That's darn cruel message that lead them to evacuate right immediately. Everyone tried to escape and only the Magistrate and few of his men stayed to wait for the barbarians.

HUMANITY BUREAU - I hope this is just fiction. It cannot be a true story because this is worst than the Barbarians.

A Humanity Bureau agent portrayed by Nicolas Cage had to do his job by visiting those people in the government list for resettlement. Some of these people were living in certain isolated community and  receiving government assistance or benefit but because they were in the list for evacuation or resettlement they must comply with the law. However some people cannot accept the fact of being in those "resettlement" they become aggressive to fight for their rights. In that time period, harsh toxic environment where water is scarce and production of food has its limited supply the law must be obeyed that you must give more,  more than what you can take. At the end, do you know or want to know the ending? Or you should have to watch the ending for yourself?

MOVIES, Movies, etc.

 Lots of movies to watch:

GOLD - Suspense, drama, mystery movie. Once the handsome boy next door charm of Zac Effron being the attraction in all his movies however, in this movie you wont believe that Zac portrayed this challenging role of a poor drifter trapped in the harsh wilderness of the desertland in order to protect the gold that would change his life forever. However, too many demons in that desert and the end is somewhat you will never expect. 

MUD - Suspense, drama, action. Starring Matthew McConaghuey in his portrayal of a wanted man for killing the man who assaulted his gf (Reese Witherspoon). Two young kids helped him get all the materials for the boat to be functional. Mud is not Mad. Mud is the role name of the actor in this movie. I first thought "mud" is the mud you splashed in your eyes so that you can see (re: Bible Story).

KILL SHOT - Suspense, drama, action, mystery. Movie of betrayal. This story will help you not to trust anybody. Weird ending.

TOMORROW WAR - Suspense, drama, mystery, action, sci-fi movie. How the people from the future was able to time travel and warn the people at present time about the war that they cannot defeat? That's the story of the movie. Lots of action.

SAMARITAN - Suspense, drama, action, fiction. A different story for the action star Silvester Stallone something like "Thor."

CRIMINAL - Suspense, drama, action, fiction. Short appearance of Ryan Reynolds when his role was shortened when he died in the movie story and his brain was transplanted to the actor Kevin  Costner in his portrayal of a mysterious prisoner who will trace back all the memories so that they can get hold of the mysterious microchip that will unleash deadly catastrophic missiles. 

REVOLT - Suspense, action, aliens, sci-fi movie. How to stop alien invasion? That's the goal of this movie.

AFTERMATH - Suspense, drama,  true-life story of a construction worker  who suffered long depression when his wife and his daughter met tragic accident aboard a jetliner when it collided with a cargo plane. The blame was put on air traffic controller who was on duty. Arnold Schwarzenneger in his portrayal of the depressed husband who think  justice must be done by taking revenge as the last resort.

TV Shows, News, Movies

 Hurricane Lee had  a landfall in the Maritimes of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, however the hurricane was not as devastating as previous hurricanes simply because of the massive early preparation to offset such calamity. It is when you are not prepared that calamity and disaster struck with violent force. So, thank God that the floods, the power outage and few fallen trees had caused small uncertainty. At least! Nobody dies. 

Two quakes also struck off northwest Vancouver island. No damage whatsoever. Maybe pods of giant whales started coming back and or the continental drift is once again felt in that area.

Nothing much happening at my place except that we continue to watch news and popular shows on our TV. Shows such as BIG BROTHER (USA), AMAZING RACE (Canada, hosted by Jon Montgomery), THE WALKING DEAD: Daryl Dixon in Paris, France, plus having free Prime Video with some chosen good movies to watch and recently we watched movies such as THE CONTRACTOR (starring Chris Pine) and the DEVIL CONSPIRACY. The Contractor is a story of deceit and finding the truth about a secret could lead to death defying assault and the rule of the mercenary is to keep everyone silent about it until when? It's more like a Bourne movie version. The Devil Conspiracy is almost like a Da Vinci Code movie in its enigmatic story of what a conspiracy is all about in a secret society with biotech know-how of cloning famous and influential historical figures and cloning the most important DNA for the purpose of a sacrificial lamb is at its wicked, most evil purpose of all.

Also, the latest of the RESIDENT EVIL: Welcome To Raccoon City didn't fail its viewers to scare once again. No matter how many sequels Resident Evil when its about zombies and apocalypse no matter who are the cast of characters... usually is always a terrifying story of evil dead. Avan Joggia (famous for the tv show "Victorious"is now an action star in this movie).

Da Vinci Code + Angels and Demons

 Once again the old movies of Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon were on the screen of our TV. The two movies are based on the two blockbuster novels written by the genius author DAN BROWN.

What so good about watching replays and reruns of these two powerful movies give you the basic education of cracking codes and decipher what is the true code being unravelled. 

Are you a code cracker or code breaker? By the way, a hacker is different from a code cracker.

DA VINCI CODE.  A murder happened in Louvre, in France. Robert Langdon (a Harvard professor and symbologist) met the female investigator named Sophie. While they were into investigation, French police starting eyeing on Prof. Robert Langdon as a suspect. Sophie and Langdon tried to escape. While in their daring escape they learned about themselves, the nature of their work and through all the obstacles they run, avoid, get trapped and Langdon had to crack some codes for those whose after them (one of them > the albino guy who was truly devoted to protect the secret) until they finally get into the old crypt where Mary Magdalene was buried. Through the many conversations throughout the chase and until group of scion or the Priory who were descendants of the bloodline of  whoever they thought Sophie was through the bloodline of Jesus Christ. Sophie was kind of surprise and chuckled that if only she can turn water into wine while trying to dip her toe on the old pond. Anyway, somehow Langdon was convinced that maybe Sophie was a descendant of Jesus Christ, not until he accidentally hurt his chin while shaving and the blood drop on the sink marked a knife or sword-like and he was appalled and he hurriedly went to the glass inverted pyramid in Louvre and his tears had fallen...

Yeah, yeah, Langdon you are the descendant of Jesus Christ! ?

ANGELS & DEMONS. Once again, Prof. Langdon embarked himself in the quest again together with another woman, a female scientist named Vittoria Vetra who is more than adventurous and had ripped the piece of one of the pages in the book (from Sistine Chapel Library). They were trapped inside, the only way out is to break the glass walls. The story or situation is actually the CONCLAVE for the next Vicar of Christ (Pope). Conclave is done in secrecy. All the Cardinals  and high ranking Vatican bishops were gathered in a secret chamber locked for the votes to count. Only Father Carmellengo (Ewan McGregor) who was able to go back and forth outside of the chamber and he is meticulous and strict and he follows everything by the book. However, beyond reasonable doubt that although the Vatican is a sacred place of worship, demonic beings also happened to be in the scenes. You don't have to see demons as demonic creatures, ugly and scary... How and why somebody who saved millions of people become the enemy and had to suffer and be the sacrifice? Who are the angels and who are the demons?

Have you played chess before? 

OLIGOPOLY.

Maligo na kayo. You need to freshen up.

Refresh. My God it is already YEAR 2023 and still they are into 2020, 2021 and 2022. 

Forget about the past because it wont help your future. You have a life to live and move on.

START ANEW.

TV Shows & Series

 Last night's episode of  THE LOST SYMBOL: Prof. Robert Langdon stayed at the security guard's house and that's his "house" now too where he and the guard do their research over those clues to save Peter Solomon. Where the professor lives? Prof. Langdon met Katherine to show her the pyramid symbol he discovered at the cave in the mine quarry. Later on Malekh, the abductor of Peter called Prof. Langdon so that they can meet up in return for Peter Solomon he must give the "small pyramid." While the museum security guard burglarized a house and can't find what he is looking for until he was hit in the head and he collapsed and fainted. An unknown woman prepared a syringe of unknown formula in it and injected the first dose on the guard's arm, the second dose, the guard punched her before that happened and they fought back. Prof. Langdon met Malekh in the basement parking area of the building, while the CIA director and Katherine listened to the conversation. The conversation was long and informational on both sides but another group of  armed group came to the rescue which happened to be of out of the plan and Malekh got away in the vehicle with Peter Solomon in it. Katherine was devastated. Now Malekh had captured Prof. Langdon and with Peter the punishment for such endearment is crucial. Uhm, this series is somewhat demonic. If Malekh is the son of Peter how in the hell he subjected his own father to all wickedness just to solve the puzzles, for what? Is this another conspiracy theory?

Anyway, tonight is the continuation of  LA BREA. Another mysterious and suspenseful series. 10,000 BC is about those woolly mammoths. I haven't seen any woolly mammoths yet. And the "aboriginals or native" people in that area can communicate fluently in English. How that happened? Will Gavin Harris come and rescue his wife Eve  and son Josh from the sinkhole before it closes? He failed the first time. It's a matter of speed, right timing to get back to that sinkhole or use the sinkhole from the desert. ? I don't really know how the story will continue, just guessing. How many sinkholes on earth?

I forgot to watch the SEAL TEAM last Sunday. Darn it. The last episode I watched 2 weeks ago: Jason was confronted by his daughter who would rather live-in or get married in whatever possible way to live under one roof with a Navy guy.  Jason was adamant not giving in to his daughter's plan. Once again they were called for duty. Jason was shocked to see a photograph of his secret lover (CIA interpreter) who was captured by their enemy.

 SURVIVOR: Same old story of deception, rumor mongering, leadership qualities, friendship, skills and strengths and weaknesses. Sydney was sent home last Wednesday. Only few survivors remain.

NCIS still the longest running series that hubby and daughter watched on TV.


MAGNUM P.I. on Friday

MACGYVER series? Don't know when they can resume that action-packed series of Lucas Till.

THE GOOD DOCTOR series is getting boring, sad to inform you that. Or because at 10 PM at night everybody's so sleepy already.

FEAR THE WALKING DEAD. Victor Strand becomes the beacon after he had stolen the light bulb (is that a strobe light?) from the lighthouse. Sarah & Morgan found out that Wendel has been captured by Victor and now living with him in the building surrounded by hungry zombies. Sarah & Morgan decided its best for them to just stay away from Victor Strand's claws of tyranny.

Another sequel maybe?

TV SERIES

 Whew! No HOUSE tv medical series today... i wonder why. lol. I was waiting for the next episodes. Darn it. I hope they didn't ban that series eh? LOL.

Tonight's the night finale sort of HWARANG. Waaaahhhh!!!! I wanna cry. It was one of my favorites Korean drama/action series and it will end tonight. Ji Dwi ascended to the throne as King Jinhyeung and was supported wholeheartedly by the Hwarang and the enemy Yongshe was taken out from the Kingdom of Silla for his wrongdoings including the lady-in-waiting who found to be a traitor serving tea with poison for the queen of Silla. Good that Dog Bird finally decided and accepted his fate not to compete with King Jinhyeung, and instead had the love of his life Ahro by his side and King Jinhyeung heartbroken by their relationship cannot untie the knots would just settle to be the king and have the hwarang by his side instead. Clever! I don't know if that's the happy ending for the many viewers worthy of being a real happy end? Be the judge and watch HWARANG series  until it ends.

ANG SA IYO AY AKIN (Filipino drama series). Ellice had a vehicular accident and survived however as soon as he was out of the hospital, she decided to return to her work at her own company to the surprise of Marissa Pineda and all the employees of the company. A surprise meeting was held and Ellice emphasized that the financial anomaly happened during at the time when Marissa was working in behalf of Ellice who at that time, Ellice was recuperating from all the malady of miscarriage, then when she had her difficult labor, when Hope was terminally ill but miraculously recovered. Ellice looked furious, mad as hell that the company's financial burden happened when Marissa started working at her company and another third party was involved thus, Marissa is doing money laundering. However, shocked as everyone at the conference room, Marissa managed to cool down and asked Tuti her personal secretary to present or show her own documents that were already been checked by the BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue), this time it was Ellice who was shocked and double shock when her own uncle (the former financial analyst-controller of the company whom Ellice fired from work) arrived at the meeting. Tonight's the night to find out what ever scandal is about to happen. ?

FEAR THE WALKING DEAD. The premier episode of this apocalyptic series for this season last Sunday: The End Is The New Beginning. I was unable to recognize Morgan Jones (as Lennie James). His beard is so thick and this episode is only meant for his survival. How he survived from zombies? The zombies kind of never want him at all. The zombies are not too hungry or he has immunity. What happened to Alicia Clark and the rest of the cast? In this episode, Morgan was being followed by a bounty hunter summoned by the tyrant Virginia. The hunted becomes the hunter and the bounty hunter's head was placed in the square box and that's what Virginia received in the middle of the road. Morgan Jones left the last scene with the horse owns by the stranger who died trying to protect him from the bounty hunter. There's not much cast of character here in FTWD but they have SWAT truck, horses and look at that huge boat, is that a boat or submarine on the shore? 

THE AMAZING RACE 2020 hosted by Phil Keoughan has started last Wednesday. From California to Trinidad & Tobago. One team was eliminated from that leg of the race.To be continued next week.

BIG BROTHER 22 ALL STARS. Memphis was evicted from BB HOUSE. The remaining contestants are Cody, Nicole, Christmas, and Enzo. Tyler joined the jury team. Kaysar had a clue on the next battle would be in the form of  a giant chessboard, a game he played before in BIG BROTHER: The Knight Moves.

TGIF. No Macgyver series. No movie to watch. Life goes on.

Too many reruns.

The Old & The New

 Same old strategy, same old names, so worn out in a brand new television series? Nah. Bah, humbug!! Hidden game plan for sports? So why use the same old names? BORING!

Yeah, that's what makes some new tv series that wont last. Sorry.

Because of that, it's best to look forward to the next episodes of  FEAR THE WALKING DEAD.

The WALKING DEAD had its season finale last Sunday. It's refreshing to see the return of MAGGIE GREENE saving Father Gabriel though. What a great entrance. The return of NEW TWD next season is? 

I don't know. I don't wanna know anymore. Let it just be unpredictable.

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

Last night, we watched the old movie BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED. Something strange and unusual for kids to watch. It's about "aliens" in the form of mini-robots made from metals derived from household appliances and these metallic creatures are helpful with group of seniors, starving artist and a pregnant woman stranded in an old building ready for demolition. Recommended for viewers who love science-fiction movies such as E.T., WALL E, Star trek & Star Wars. 

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

HWARANG. The five of the best of hwarang  organized themselves in disguised and penetrated into master Yongshe's territory and stolen sacks of  medical supply for the victims of the epidemic. Somehow, Yongshe's son had sway his loyalty to the hwarang. Ahro was taken to Silla's kingdom to become one of the queen's wonhwa to the dismay of Dogbird who asked help from his (stricken polio victim) father who was once Silla's prince.

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

ANG SA IYO AY AKIN. Filipino drama series at TFC. Ellice already found out that Gabriel is the father of baby Jacob based from the paternity test and information she read from the desk of a careless registrar's office secretary. She confronted her bestfriend Marissa in a very "civilized manner" (indirectly) and uttered some sort of warning. At the office of Cenidoza owned by Ellice, Marissa's secretary happened to have seen the hidden device under Marissa's office desk, Marissa and her secretary decided to keep on pretending that they don't know that they are being listened to or being spied on. Luciana, confronted her daughter when she returned home asking if Gabriel is the father of Jacob which she said yes, and her own mother slapped  her face. She confided the incident to her secretary. The next day, Marissa was surprised when Ellice came to the office together with her husband and said she will begin to work again after all it was her company where she'll be working. She doesn't want to miss the fun between them. The dialogues in this new television series are remarkably stunning. They are good actors and actresses. Looks like they are being handled really well by the director, camera men and script writers. Cool! Bongga!! Every dialogue given to Ellice & Marissa are sharp and almost about to slap each other. I mean, sige magsampalan kayo pleaseeeee! Ahahahaha! j/k

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

BIG BROTHER 22 - ALL STARS. Cody once again won the HOH and nominated Tyler & Christmas for eviction. What?? Uhm, you know now that Cody was eyeing on Nicole for the final 2, so that maybe is the reason why. Tyler & Christmas will have to battle in the POV game to save themselves from eviction.

Who's the BEST FINAL 2? It would be challenging if TYLER & CODY battle for the final two.

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

HOUSE. There is something weird and wonderful in this old reruns of  HOUSE television series. Some of the stories are almost X FILES because of its mystery (yeah mysterious sort of), the cast of characters are somewhat not worn out or just that each character had hidden talent, had secrets and undiscovered aim, agenda and purpose in life.  Wait till you watch episodes: LOCKDOWN, BLACK HOLE, ONE ROOM, ONE NIGHT. You have this incredible, outrageous, eccentric human doctor HOUSE who is also experiencing pain and he is not acting as godlike because he needs meds more than ever and his diagnosis for every patient needs assurance from the rest of other doctors such as Dr. WILSON, Dr. CHASE, Dr. FOREMAN, Dr. CAMERON. That's what happened in Hospitals? Why not one doctor has the right and responsibility to his own doing of prescribing meds and the treatment of a patient. Maybe because if the diagnosis is for terminally patient then a group of doctors and surgeons are called to discuss the preventative measures to combat such illness or whatever disease the patient is suffering. 

Just like this 2020 PANDEMIC wherein the whole world is in "panic" and the control of such pandemic still is crucial and everyday doctors, specialists are called to have their daily report on TV NEWS NETWORK. It's on and on, almost like replays, it's suffocating to hear them about their daily rants but what else can you do? They can talk and talk, answer to questions and they never seem to fade away. They never get tired and they never get sick. iRobot. ? I don't know. When it gets too tiring and depressing for you to listen to the day to day pandemic measures CHANGE CHANNELS of your TV and watch some happy news, entertaining television shows and movies. Watch stand - up COMEDY SHOWS. Be happy.

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

THE AMAZING RACE new season will start this month of October 2020.

TV Series & A Movie

 Triple eviction happened in one night in BIG BROTHER 22 ALL STARS. Kevin was evicted! We all knew that's gonna happen and it happened. Next, David was evicted. Dani was evicted too. Tyler won the HOH & POV. Then next game, Cody won the HOH & POV.  Whom he will evict from BB House? Find it out tonight at Global Channel.

By the way, tonight's the night for the return of the season finale of THE WALKING DEAD. 

I missed Lauren Cohan (Maggie Greene), so this is the return of the returns. Wow! So exciting! I am truly excited. 

Next, THE WORLD BEYOND, also a zombie apocalyptic war premieres tonight. Group of youngsters in search for their parents, search for food and to survive from the apocalypse? It could be chaotic. 

HWARANG. Continuation of episodes from last week: The hwarang was able to escape from the wrath of  Bieksa's prince who was wounded from the duel between him and Dogbird. They were about at the crossroads when suddenly the prince and his men tried to attack them, some of the poor people got killed, Choi Minho got hit with an arrow and they were surrounded already when suddenly the rest of the hwarang arrived right in time to protect them. The hwarang master talked to the prince of Bieksa and they both called it quits so the enemies left them, besides they were outnumbered. At Silla's kingdom, Dogbird was summoned by the queen and told him that since he pretended to be the king of Silla, taking the power from his own son, he must  at least continue his own pretension and she revelaed to Dogbird that she will take Ahro with her to her palace to be sworn in as wonhwa together with the princess. Dogbird was mad and furious. The true real king Jinhyueng can't wallow in frustrations because he accepted his own fate just as he thought he is such a coward or just being obedient to his queen mother. Anyway, the princess somehow was able to discern what was happening to his brother who was hidden from her for such a very long time. In another province, the epidemic already spread out quickly and Master Anjie cannot cure them because of lack of medicines and other resources. It turned out that the villain Master Yongshe had masterminded of hiding all the resources from everyone. That night, while Dogbird was attacked by black ninjas summoned by Yongshe, while Ji Dwi attacked the old Yongshe and warned him of his wrongdoings. Ji Dwi didn't kill the old man so the next episode would be ???? What could be happening in the next episode? TO BE CONTINUED.

ANTIVIRAL the movie. Something really strange. Grotesque! It's my first time to see a movie so viral. It was an old movie actually. Story: A famous celebrity got infected with virus. However, instead of having negative feedback and negative propaganda the female celebrity became more popular than ever and almost everyone wants to buy anything and everything about her including the tainted blood. For what? You will only find out at the final scene of the movie why. I almost vomit from what Syd is up to. Crazy! Yeah people, modern vampires and cannibalistic attitude is GROSS!

Just TV

No SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE for Saturday, yesterday. Due to the pandemic you are not allowed to laugh. LOL.

Two Terminator movies were featured on movie channel and one of them was TERMINATOR: Genesys with Emilia Clarke in it. Emilia Clarke is the lead actress in the famous GAME OF THRONES, you know the "Mother Dragon" and the lead actress in the movie "YOU BEFORE ME." My daughter watched it but I was busy preparing for dinner. Next time I will watch it from beginning to end.

(OMG! My keyboard is functioning in a very unusual way, sometimes missing one key letter that I have to press the key harder).

Last night 2 episodes of BELOW DECK for us to watch until 11 pm. I don't know if you are watching Below Deck starring  Captain Lee and crews of VALOR (Kate, Jen, Matt, Nico, Brianna, Baker, Chris, Bruno, and different guests per episodes).  I think they don't have a script in this show or there's a need for script. Quite entertaining. Then at 11 pm another episode of BELOW DECK MEDITERRANEAN but too late for me to watch it.

I glanced over the last news on TV at CBC News Network and then fell asleep.

Then today, what's the latest news? Extension of the news from last night and the so called "Fall Peak" of the pandemic and the RECOVERY PLOT.

CRA (Canadian Revenue Agency) was once again hacked! Hey, how many times now? I hope Canadian  tax payers wont be paying their taxes to India.

NEWS IN THE USA:  US Pres. Trump in mourning due to sudden death of his brother who died at age 71. While he worries about the US Postal Office on how the election will turn out this year. It's a different generation and at the worst time of the pandemic that voters would rather choose to vote by sending their votes through mails. The snail mail system!

Canadian farmers in a pickle! ? What? Whatever.
Temporary foreign workers are much needed in the agricultural sector according to the news.
It seems like Canadians wont work in tending and cultivating the farm lands. It's an easy job actually.
You have heavy industrial machinery to do it so it's the "picking" that the farmers want to have to do the mending.

Two Different Kinds of Jason

It was the FRIDAY the 13th yesterday and what could be timing is the long marathon of showing the many movies and sequels of FRIDAY THE 13th horror movie.

Finally, I remember the true story of this horrifying blockbuster movie. The first movie I watched when I was in College. I can't remember the whole story because of fright, scary scenes I closed my eyes most of the time. When the hatchet, the ax, or knives about to hit the victims... I was quick to close my eyes. Cinema in Philippines were always on SRO (Standing Room Only) especially when movies are terrifying, scary and damned horrible. Dark, dark moviehouses and screaming pit of hundreds of movie watchers you wont really understand the story of such murderous rampage done by weird Jason.

The story: Jason was the young boy left in the Crystal lake, drowning and nobody help him. The Crystal Lake was a campsite, designed for young campers and camp counselors and leaders. Because of the drowning accident, many murderous rampage happened after that. In the movie, the face of the murderer was not shown except the way he walks. So the murder could be done by Jason or Jason's mother (Mrs. Vhoories). However, when Mrs. Vhoories died as she was beheaded by one of the counselors that left one suspect who's doing the killing and it turned out it was Jason. How Jason turned out to be alive when he was seen drowning or had drowned on Crystal lake? So, Jason was actually alive and saved himself from drowning, however, he had suffered trauma and psychological problems  that lead him to do such drastic, animalistic behaviour hunting of humans treating, capturing them and butchered them like wild animals. By the way, Jason who also suffered facial disconfiguration or abnormal facial recognition covered his face with cloth leaving only his one eye open to all his mysterious hunt for humans who are by the way known to him as "humans who are into sex." It seems that Jason saved women who are not into sexual promiscuity or not seen having sex.

I haven't seen the last of the Friday the 13th movie. You don't really need to buy the Crystal lake if you think it will bring bad karma.

At about 9 pm, we changed the channel and another Jason was shown in "Rock Bottom" episode of THE SEAL TEAM. Jason was at the bar with his team and told story about his own daughter in College. Then Ray said something that pissed him off and all of a sudden there was a brawl between Jason and Ray. The rest of the team stopped and controlled their fight. In another scene, Clay Spencer talked to the doctor and still the doctor told him his hands are tied due to the "system" and he the soldier should be the first one to know and find it out. Clay talked to his military superior and discovered that his superior was also in the same way bound by the rules and if he pursue his "new mission" then he'll be court marshalled. ? What? Really? He was silent for quite sometime. He attended Davis graduation rite aboard the Navy ship. Team Jason was summoned again for another mission.
