Women's 8

 

I was screaming and yelling FASTER! FASTER! FASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! while hubby and I watched the Women's Eight on Tokyo 2020 Olympic Summer Games, last night.

Those Canadian women are really faster, fastest than other teams in Women's Eight in rowing. Congratulations!

Pitching In

 How to stay out of politics when the codes are being passed at your own domain? How can you not resist the temptation when you are watching TV NEWS all the time.

How to stay out of troubles? It's hard to get out of troubles when you are watching television shows, series and documentaries. 

Troubles, troubles...

Throw balls!

Some news are actually fabricated to pitch in into throw balls.

The Purse String

 Canada's new Governor General MARY SIMON is installed as Canada's first Indigenous (Inuit) Governor General. Good luck!

There are many positive feedback and negative comments about Canada's new GG. Is she tougher, stronger, smarter than astronaut former GG Juliette Payette? Is it in timing with the controversial news of missing indigenous people only to be rediscovered on unmarked graves? Anyway, forces of nature could only be accounted for those "unmarked graves." Or still is a mystery hard to fathom for now until the Truth Commission had it last findings. Whatever that mystery about and all the conflict leading to the misery, treaties, and what could be behind the scenes? I don't know. A parliament is dealt with the process of "talk." Sometimes without any record of history. It's just a talk or conversation between "higher heads" and what the subject of conversation is not our business.

Parliament opens only depends on how big is your purse. How large is your budget?

Otherwise, pharmaceutical companies, salesmen, medical health workers will keep on advertising as their moonlighting to keep them alive. ?

Wow! You should just create a media business similar to Bloomberg's.

Who owns CBC Radio News Network?

Chess or House of Cards?

 BIG BROTHER 23. Continuation of the contest to win the $750,000! ? Oh, really?

Frenchie was evicted, leaving Britini safe for eviction. However, when Xavier won the HOH, he was already eyeing on Brit. Everybody was playing it safe actually doing their normal house guest's daily socializing. Then they were talking about Brett's antipatico's attitude or being that male macho image style approach to several women in the Big Brother House. He was  being too friendly with those girls. He is not gay so he is sometimes flirting with Alyssa, Hannah and other girls. He said that it is normal for men to make  a pass with attractive women. Whatever. He works for airline. He's probably like to socialize with women. Some of those women were not impressed so he probably be the next in line to be evicted. But before that, a wild competition is set and 3 house guests participated: Britini, Tiffany & Derek X. Tiff & Derek X. tried so hard to outwit Brit in this wild card competition. Anyway, Tiff won this time. Xavier asked her a question to reconsider which she obliged not to. Xavier had chosen to nominate Brett & Brit for eviction. Whoever is the pawn in BBH is up to your wild guess. ha ha! Pawn. Not a card game anymore but a game of CHESS?

The gang was really trying to evict the whole team of JOKERS. 

OMG. Please don't let the return of PARASITE in your agenda. 

Hey, Is Derek X,  Chinese or Korean? J/K just kidding.

Tokyo 2020 (2021) Summer Olympic Games

 It was Friday morning when hubby and I watched the Opening Ceremony of the TOKYO 2020 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES. Tokyo 2020 in all the streamlines and banners but the events unfold this year July 2021. 

July 23, 2021 - August 8, 2021. 

I did not see the very initial opening of the ceremony. I happened to watch on our TV screen, the parade of athletes, the parade of Nation (the countries the athletes represent for the Olympic games). Of course the OLYMPIC GAMES aim is simply the traditional purpose of PARTICIPATION. Winning the Olympic Medals is a plus and rewards of achievements and accomplishments for hard work and the great effort each team, each athlete who devoted their valuable time to train themselves despite of all the hindrances, the hurdles and difficulties. What made this Olympic Game different from the rest of the games? The pandemic that crippled the economy, the political and livelihood of billions of people around the world has cancelled this world's traditional relay of the OLYMPIC GAMES,  for many centuries since it had its beginning in ancient Greece. However, OLYMPIC GAMES is about its original, traditional theme of being FASTER, HIGHER, STRONGER but who is WISER? Yeah, who is wiser and witty in this game? The participants of the game or those athletes who wont participate because COVID-19 is stronger?

Everybody has a mind of his or her own. It is for the athlete's wise reasoning whether they play or not play for the Olympic Game. 

I am not a game player for the Olympic Games. I am just a "watcher." Television is our medium of what's happening. What TV Stations and their anchors plus their camera men are our "watchful eyes and keen observant of the main event."

Canada's flag bearer: Nathan Hirayama (Rugby) & Miranda Ayim (Basketball)

I'm glad that Philippines has representatives for the Olympic Games for Tokyo 2021.

The American team of athletes.
 

FASTER, HIGHER, STRONGER

TOGETHER

I hope in the next Olympic Games they have to include WISER.

The behind the scenes "push button technicians."  Lighting the whole industrialized, civilized  urban district of Tokyo.

Drones above the Olympic Games arena.

 

The Kabuki traditional Japanese drama/dance/singing was not shown as the camera was focused mainly on the female pianist.

?

Tennis champ Naomi Watanabe receiving the torch light. Oppsi...it was Naomi Osaka in Tokyo, Japan.

As she lightened and ignited the flame for the Olympic Cauldron of Fire.

As of this writing, July 24, 2021: Several Olympic athletes had received gold medals such as China, Italy, Japan, South Korea, etc. 

Hey, before I forget, IMAGINE, the song written and sung by the late John Lennon has been a part of the Opening ceremony with different famous artists singing the song from other countries  that include Keith Urban, John Legend, etc. Yep, it's Japan's Olympic Games and they include foreign artists to be included in their Olympic Games representation.

Why? It has something to do with the word SOLIDARITY.

Space Tourism

 SPACE TOURISM. Do you think space tourism will become the new fad of extreme sport putting billionaires to spend their money by lifting off to space for few minutes to experience zero gravity? 

Is that the only way to reach zero gravity? 

How many billionaires in the FORBES's list?

OMG! Why not they just pay their billions of taxes so that the rising tide can lift all boats?

BLUE ORIGIN's first human flight was put to a test today JULY 20, 2021 with billionaire JEFF BEZO the founder of  AMAZON.com. Jeff Bezo is the world's richest man and he doesn't know where to spend his billions of dollars. lol. 

Just like RICHARD BRANSON, the billionaire-owner of VIRGIN GALACTIC had launched his first flight to space aboard VSS Unity Space with 5 crews and reached 282,773 ft. (53.5 miles = 86 kms) last July 11, 2021. 

MESOSPHERE. 32 miles to 85 miles from Earth. Temperature: 32 degrees F to 130 degrees F. 

What you can see from Mesosphere if you are that unlucky are meteors.

 

JEFF BEZO and his brother, a younger physicist, a female older astronaut and crew aboard the Blue Origin has reached farther above, over 350,000 ft. until it plunged down back to earth. The rocket that carried their module has returned to its base in Van Horn Texas and their module still afloat in space being lifted by its 3 giant  parachutes back to Earth. ROCKET Lifting off space is faster, higher in almost super speed and it happened almost within few minutes and how those humans able to feel gravity is a matter of how fast they unfastened their safety belts. 

Uhmm...is there a spaceship where you can experience zero gravity without the need to use rockets?

There is a legendary story of a place in the Himalayan mountain where monks experienced astral body projection. Less oxygen, less magnets...so zero gravity. 

As of now, space tourism is specifically designed for those who can pay for the price!

The Rat Race

 I happened to read an old newspaper ad and it made me feel inadequate because it was poorly written. Ha! As if. Nope not the problem of the writer , maybe the problem is the editor who edits the composition.

Here at BLOGGER, the writer and author of blogs are the ones who posted the blogpost, the blog composition and the one who edits the composition. Nobody is to be blamed for your own writing but you. Nobody but you. Nobody but me.

So, better slow down when blogging. Check your composition first for grammar, spelling and the necessary punctuation marks. Review. Review the sentences, the whole paragraphs, etc.

Uhm, wonder what will happen at the TOKYO SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES. How many athletes are infected of COVID-19? Two soccer players, another one in another team from other countries, another 2 athletes from other team, no infection from Canada's team, thank God!

Weird. This is the weirdest Olympic Games in history. Cancelled once to cancel this one again is simply unfair right? I hope this Olympic Games is worthy of the athletes participation. I first thought it was Sinclair who will hold the Canadian flag because after all she is already an  Olympic medalist. Whatever.

More wildfires in the BC interior. More evacuations happening.

What happened to BIG BROTHER 23 (USA). Frenchie became the first HOH and had nominated Alysa and Kyland for eviction. In their first game for POV, Derek Xiao won the POV medal and used it to save Kyland from eviction. Frenchie has to use his power to nominate another house guest and chosen Travis side by side with Alysa. Tiffany thought  a plan to dressed up Travis as a drag would help him out of the eviction seat but only led  him being chosen out of the BB House. Travis - the first victim of eviction process. Kyland won the game for HOH. Another test of paint color splat and Sara Beth won the test , she was asked to choose a new team to join in giving another player to join another team, and later on Kyland has nominated Frenchie & Britani for eviction next. But of course they have to win a certain game to battle with and save themselves from eviction.

It's funny though how disappointed those contestants when they have to play such theme of the PLAYING CARDS: The JOKERS, ACES, QUEENS & KINGS. You can see from their faces that it is not what they expect. 

In previous episodes, in previous editions of BIG BROTHER the themes were really outstanding and out of this world. Players were a lot happier and just playing comfortably. But maybe because the higher risk, the higher prize of $500,000 (or is it $750,000?) triggers sense of  suspicion, panic stress and pressure on Frenchie and everyone. 

Hey, Jeff Bezo and his team should worry too because they will reach zero gravity when ORIGIN lifts off for space in the next days to come,  higher than what Virgin Galactic Richard Branson had achieved.

As usual, to see is to believe.
