Maybe. Maybe Not.

 From what I heard, there are rich people using FOOD BANKS. They drive their BMW's and Mercedez Benz and avail of the free foods at the Food Banks in BC.

REALLY?! My God! FOOD BANKS are only for the needy and those who need the help because of the high inflation, high cost of grocery products.

If the rich, wealthy people who line up to get free food? That's absurd. What is wrong?

But you know, even the rich becomes poor in times of what you call this generation of volatile economy. Their mortgages are higher than your mortgages. Their lifestyle is higher than the ordinary. Or just maybe, they have those luxury cars before when they are employed  but because they got fired from work or they are now unemployed.

Or could be that they were there at the Food Bank to donate some items that they don't need. You know, they probably have surplus they have to take at the Food Bank. 

By the way, did you know before year 2000, too many migrants from HK had to move back to China. They sold their properties, houses, furniture, their cars. Mercedez Benz & BMW's had been in the Vancouver newspapers and leading BC newspapers being sold at affordable prices. So if those people have those second hand luxury cars after year 2000... now you know that they didn't buy them within original price. Mercedez Benz was being sold for only $10,000 OBO cash in the year 2000. You can buy a mansion for only $250,000 because of too many foreclosures. That's how I remember the time when pulp mills and saw mills started closing and shutting down one by one. Families filing for bankruptcies and marriages started crashing and divorces are downspiral towards dysfunctional families. Chaos after chaos when economy is so bad. 

YEAR 2024 at present time. The economy is worst but nobody's selling anything that is affordable. Why? Law of Demand and Supply. If the price is high the demand is LOW. Nobody's buying. People would rather find something affordable or just avail of something FREE. 

That's right, you cannot fool all the people all the time.

Economics

 Do you watch OMNI Filipino NEWS on TV?

It's hard to believe that some Filipino families in Canada are now recipient of FOOD BANKS. Well, "before" only the Canadians, Indigenous Families and other various Ethnic immigrants  are the people who go and visit the Food Banks in Canada. 

Filipinos are visible now in Canada as in MILLIONS in population.

Not all Filipinos are recipient of Food Banks. Only the few and those who would like to avail of FREE FOODS.

The question is WHY NOT? It is wiser to use the Food Bank in times when commodities in supermarkets are almost unaffordable which is questionable.

Unlike in Philippines where there are Wet Market and food stalls where you can haggle for the price of items that you want to buy. At least HAGGLING is part of the economy to fix and augment prices when its necessary. A marketing strategy for the wiser as in you don't have to be a recipient of a Food Bank. There is no Food Bank in Philippines.

Know what? There should be TRADE IN MARKET here in Canada. You can trade any product for another product like a BARTER sort of. 

BARTER was a form of marketing in the buying and selling of goods. BARTER without the use of monetary exchange. It's about time. 

Canada is becoming a Third World Country thanks in part by the known politicians in this country who worked for their own happiness and enrichment of their own families only. 

In Philippines where too many vigilantes who have the people's power once graft and corruption becomes a nuisance to the country's economy.

BB Happenings: Truth Or Fiction?

 I know, some of you who are rooting for Tucker the A.I. Instigator and A.I. Assist were disappointed that he was evicted from the Big Brother House.

YES! Makensy won the A.I. Arena. Congrats girl!!! You deserved to win.

Leaving Tucker & Angela for eviction. 

Would you believe that the BB Houseguests had voted for him out of BB House over Angela.

Know why? They thought Tucker is a bigger threat than Angela.

What they don't know that the lesser threat sometimes wins in the finale based from previous Big Brother shows. 

Anyway, its for the love of the game that Tucker at least won $20,000 given/awarded by Ms. Julie Chen Moonves for the shenanigans of being the A.I. Instigator.

For all the "mischief" he created that at least Big Brother is livelier, rumor mill heightened,  tongues keep wagging inside BB House. Without Tucker the instigator do you think BB House becomes a boredom house?

In real life, the MEDIA is  just like that to keep the rumor mill business function as it is.

The war and rumors of war keep TV and Internet Communications non-stop. It's great for the MEDIA BUSINESS people. Is it good for all the people? Not really. Because you don't really know which and who to believe.

It becomes FICTION.

BB HAPPENINGS

 Playing an emotional roller coaster! That's what Tucker, the AI instigator is doing at BB House. Even if he is not using the A.I.

What's the latest at BB House? 

The contestants for Golden Power of Veto had to compete in a "slapshot hitting robots" with higher numbers. Whoever has the lowest number is out of the competition and has to open an envelope with its corresponding prize or trade that prize with something else from previous competitor.

Prizes include: POV, Trapped in the Matrix, Radiation Eradication, A.I. Robot Inquirer, Luau -trip to Hawaii, another prize that gives the contestant $5,000 given to Tikor.

Cam is the new awardee of the Golden Power of Veto. Joseph was trapped in the Matrix had to listen to annoying message from Matt for 24 hours in isolated room. Tucker became the Encyclopedia robot answering questions for 11 hours. Makensy hold on to her prize for a Luau in Hawaii. The worst of all prize? Angela had to endure long hours of picking up " 1,000 radiation balls" one by one to be picked up and stored in a big drum. Make believe radiation contamination clean-up being splashed with slimy pink goo all over her body. Yuck. Harsh punishment actually. Too much.

Not enough? Tucker is playing an emotional harm on Angela's fragile mental health. Tucker had told her that he loves her and he would rather have her instead of Rubina. Well duh, for the game. Tucker had her alliance with Angela first. However, its not paranoia that determines Angela's move to inform Tikor, Quinn and Kimo about what Tucker said. Knowing Tikor is close to Rubina... and Angela wants Tucker out of BB House. Tikor had to choose Angela or Leah, however she knows that Quinn likes Leah.

What happened next? Angela was chosen to compete for the A.I. Arena together with Makensy & Tucker.

Autumn First, Before Winter

 CTV NEWS. Wintry weather spotted in BC HIGHWAYS. Wow! (Shown on TV)

I know it is too early. Only 28th of August and it is already Winter, snow falling on the roads?! Surprise!

Let's have AUTUMN first, duh.

Thrillers

 So many unwatched movies from the past:

OPEN WATER 2: ADRIFT.  Story of four long time friends reunited in Mexico after five years. Within those 5 years, Amy got married and had a baby. Two friends had become a couple and the yacht owner had a girlfriend. OMG! This is a thriller. All of them on-board the yacht and sailed in the middle of the sea,  far from the island. Amy who had a childhood trauma wears a life vest most of the time. She would rather stay at the cabin with her baby but the yacht-owner friend had her carried and splashed down the water to join the rest of their fiends. Amy was shocked and can't move suddenly the traumatic experienced from childhood overwhelmed her. Later on she was able to manage where she at and they all enjoyed being on the water. Then later, they realized that the ladder was not visible. There is no ladder nor access to get back to the yacht. Panic arises, everyone's screaming loudly and everyone's having bout of suspicion. Well find it out how they can use their IQ to get into the yacht. Time is ticking...

This is a great puzzle to solve. 

THE BOY IN THE WOODS. Another NAZI movie. The Jewish boy thought his Mother abandoned him. He looked for his relatives in the village but nobody wants to take him. Then later he found her aunt married to a Christian man and they lived with their newborn closer to the forest. The Jewish boy had to live with his aunt's family until the NAZI collaborators came to their house looking for any sign whether they are hiding any Jew in their home. Panic and driven with fear, the couple asked the boy to live in the woods alone by himself. How a 12 year old able to live in the woods is the highlight of this WWII sad story of being hunted down by the wicked NAZI.

INCONCEIVABLE. Another Nicolas Cage story. What happened when the surrogate mother became manipulative and evil? What is so wrong with surrogacy? This movie is a thriller.

SUBJECTS. Another thriller. What if you are with group of men and women on product testing. You are asked by a man unknown to you and can be seen only on a wall screen and you were asked to swallow a pill. You don't know what that "pill" is. You don't know the beneficial and side effects of such pill other than you have to take it, swallow and drink water. Would you take the challenge? 

What you don't know wont hurt you? Find out for yourself.

BB26 Happenings

 

Houseguest Contestants for Big Brother 26 2024 : Cam, Tikor, Rubina, Cedric, Joseph, Chelsie, Matt, Brooklyn, Makensy, Kimo, Liza, Kenney, Tucker, Leah, Quinn, Angela

Who's your favourite?

Who do you think will win in the finale for the prize of $750,000?

Who were evicted already? Ans.: Matt, Liza, Kenney, Cedric, Brooklyn

Remaining contestants: Cam, Tikor, Rubina, Joseph, Chelsie, Makensy, Kimo, Tucker, Leah, Quinn & Angela

Always the volunteer as pawn: Tucker. Always wins the POV. Power of Veto

America's Favourite: Makensy had the Special Power of Veto (used already)

AI Deep Fake Power: Quinn (used already)

Recently been given special power as A.I. Instigator: Tucker

Brooklyn was evicted from AI Arena. HOH game about Sound Bites and had Tikor won the Head of Household key. Tucker thought she deserves it as she is "innocent" lol. Joker. Makensy was asked who she wants to be chosen for eviction, Makensy was chosen  by Quinn before for eviction so she told  Quinn but Quinn is a member of her alliance . I don't know why HOH asked other houseguests on who she wants to be on the block? Can't decide for her own self? Kimo and Rubina are close to Tikor so they are safe. Angela came into the room crying that  she thought she will be chosen for eviction. Anyway, Tikor had chosen Makensy, Cam & Tucker for eviction next Wednesday and they have to battle the POV Game. Whoever wins the POV then that houseguest will no longer be evicted and a replacement will be chosen and the remaining 2 houseguests on the block and the replacement houseguest will have to battle in the A.I. Arena.

Tucker the secret instigator had announce through Quinn that the secret bromance between Tucker and Rubina are no longer secret. Rubina got upset. Ghee, is that a secret? Why Tucker had to do that? Is he using Rubina for what? Why she would cry anyway? Showing remorse of shame? Dudette you are being seen on TV screen. What you do on screen, what you represent affect every Filipino race (if you are a Filipina?) All the flirting are shown on widescreen TV. Weird! Are they even single? lol. Just asking. You cannot stop humans from falling in love if they are truly in love, right? They are on reality TV without script. All the contestants have their own way of how they are to be seen and perceived on national TV. 

Too many bromances that happened on Big Brother show. Did the bromance really continues outside of BB House? Bromance sometimes is a hindrance to winning and sometimes gf-bf end up as soon as the show ended.

Why Makensy is chosen for eviction again? She's a good girl and she never cause any trouble. Now think of the HOH why and who she represents. She doesn't like Makensy, why? She likes Angela over Makensy? How bizarre!

Tikor was in alliance with Cedric and she voted Cedric out. She was in alliance with Cam but she had chosen Cam for eviction together with Makensy & Tucker. In other words, Makensy, Tucker & Cam are barriers for her to win the finale. 

Well, it's not over yet. They haven't seen and played the rest of the designated BB Games.

What $750,000 meant for every houseguest? Would it change loyalty, friendship, change personality and lead to earning enemies?

 $750,000 is a lot of money. Even if you work hard for the whole year you can't earn such huge amount of money. Well unless if you are the CEO of Loblaws where supermarket products have no permanent price index and prices keep going up per minute.

 

In most of the past BIG BROTHER show/series, the final four always the houseguests not chosen to compete in the HOH & POV. Those houseguests who they think wont win. Houseguests who didn't win anything until the last 4 days. Then the JURY (Houseguests who were evicted choose the winner of the BIG BROTHER big prize).
