I love pearls !

I love the dainty white pearly smooth texture of pearls.

It's so amazing to know that sea creatures can produce a special kind of jewel, a one of a kind jewel that illuminates radiantly inside, outside the shell.

I remember my Grandmother's "Mother of Pearl."

It was the biggest pearls I ever seen in my life. She had it custom-made for her earrings. One thing that I noticed about those pearls are its radiance and those pearls are somewhat "alive!"and different from other pearls.

It is still alive in the sense that it "grows." Do you know what I mean? That's how its been called as "The Mother of all Pearls!"

TV NEWS & SHOWS

CFL=Canadian Football League NEWS. The last day of the Game was yesterday. After defeating the BC LIONS and another CFL Team, Saskatchewan won (23 ) against Winnipeg (19). Saskatchewan with the loud cheering from their fans held their winnings THE GREY CUP!

Green Sunday but only to be shocked today with the leading stock market giant pies in striking RED! call it a joke huh. Why not? The odds of looking at the TV news with those pies make me laugh sometimes. How to change them to GREEN?

NEWS that the US First Lady LAURA BUSH having their Christmas tree for the White House is one sign. Another sign is ....my ego green? Or the Grinch is back? Or don't tell me we have Ebenezer Scrooge roaming at our attic?

Have you watch the Amazing Race show last night? The show's theme was panning for gold and shake your booty. The Goth's and goat's. Two girls being mean on another couple wanting to win the game. But the other one was being conscientious about what her partner did to the other team. Each time the show will eventually lead you to consult your morale whether it will boost up your innermost sense to upgrade or to downgrade your personality. As what that woman said, it was a Game and the prize is ONE MILLION DOLLARS! The couple who were eliminated were heard to say they will find a way to find millions in a different way.

Look at SURVIVOR, how many of them are professionals but would rather try their luck in such rather dowdy situation. Filming in a secluded remote area with the heat of the sun's that can put them to sleep one by one. Must be hot over there in China at that time. Not in this month of November though. I don't think they can handle winter there. It must have been filmed at summertime that's why all you can see are their butts, navels and other kind of nakedness. Their whims and prims and stressful situations.

The Real Amazing Race

The trailer of the "Amazing Race" , the popular high rated show on TV was flashed back before me. This time the clippings was focused again in Africa. Why is it always there? Is the producer an African? To let us know what's the present situation over there? To compare the life in that country compare with the lives here in our place? In the 1900, the standard of living in that country is almost the same as the standard of living in asian countries. In the 1970's the life in India is the same as the situation in Africa. My question is how come India was able to re-established their lives towards progress while Africa until now has the kind of situation that is almost the same as in the 1900's? It was like the standard of living during the filming of Tarzan. Unless of course the setting is somewhat "made up or make-believe."

In British Columbia there's an 18th Century setting somewhere in Barkerville's. Have you been there? All the houses in that village depicted as 18th Century's similar to the movie of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's movie "Far and Away."It was a "Heritage" tourist site. They still have the big wheels that the pioneers used for straining the gold. Or you can pan for gold nuggets in one of the pond trays in their gift shop.

What Amazing Race really mean? It is a particular "Designer's Race" that the scholars and monks were able to trace the origin of life and how life began. That RACE was able to evolve and still evolving up to now no matter life's obstacles take them. A continuation of that race until Earth is still Earth...and HUMAN BEINGS are humans not animals.

Sense of Smell - Scents of Smell

Do you have collections? What kind of pet peeve your collecting. I have a neighbour before who like to boast her collections of men. OOpps bad! That could only happen in TV series "Sex In The City." More like fiction.

I have collections, you think I don't have any? I love collecting perfumes especially the bottles. Yes the perfume container is what really fancy my weird attention to that particular thing. Maybe because I'm inclined to art and design. Most perfumes are very expensive especially if they are with popular designer's label. But when choosing perfumeries I always have to look at the appearance. The design of the bottle, the label and then when I like it I have to smell it. If the aroma give me the floral scents of the following: citrus, ylang-ylang, camia, magnolia, rose, hyacinth, lavender or something that is really pleasant not that so cheap smelling musk. Ahaha meany! Actually I have allergies that's why I have to choose what to spray on my body.

I love collecting books which I already told you. I don't collect dolls no matter what because I am no Demi Moore. I collect stuffed animals" tweety bird, snoopy, woodstock, hello kitty. I have collections of Hello Kitty items: wristwatch, plates, chopsticks, handkerchief, notebook, stationeries, bags, pencil. I love collecting figurines esp. the angelic ones. Creatures with wings. I remember the time when I was there at the Hospital Gift store and my son happened to quote, " my Mom is collecting angels." The lady was kind of speechless. Collecting pictures, postcards, stamps, stickers, jewelries, and whatever that has sentimental value. Oh , I remember collecting all my test papers with 100% grade mark.

Raising Spoiled Brats

MONA LISA the famous painting of Leonardo Da Vinci, of which can be found in Louvre, Paris. It is also enclosed in one of the pages of the book by Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code."

MONA LISA SMILE the movie of Julia Roberts just in case you haven't seen yet is a story of a lonesome Art teacher. She reminds me of my teacher in Humanity. The only difference, my teacher has a Filipino heritage with a hint of Japanese (maybe) in her blood. While Julia, she's a "phenomenon."

In this movie "Mona Lisa Smiles" Julia was shown having a struggle with her class. Most of the time, the students are unruly, obnoxious trying to overpower her. It's more a "vanity game" playing at their wit's end.

There was a scene when Julia had a beautiful gorgeous woman on the screen slides to show the girls and how they gonna react to it. It was silence first and when Julia said it was her Mother and the girls were quick in sharing negative feedbacks, negative commentaries trying in defiance to annoy her for being so strict with them.

Actually that's the kind of scene nowadays in school be it on public or private schools. Know why? Too many "spoiled brats."

Do You Have A Code?

When I first see the trailer of The DA VINCI CODE I was somewhat surprised about what it will bring or the after effect of that movie after having an already controversial showing of THE PASSION OF CHRIST. It is a point in time asking what this is all about these people who were trying to unravel what ever is sacred. Is the real story more gothic than what the motion pictures tell us? Or was it because there's a need to take back what really belongs to the descendants of the SON Of GOD. That "they" trying to dissect all known written "prophecies" to be able to lead in the future. The future is now. What else "these God-like people wants?" Let their treasures exceed up to heaven?

Yeah right! "Red Code" was sent through my blog. Hey I'm wearing red shirt so it's EVEN! You think you can win in the game of chess? My way or the H-way!

Back to the Da Vinci Code. Who is DAN BROWN? Was he wearing a mask? Was he a member of the Opus Dei. Do you have "stigmata"? What is your religion? Who gave you authority to research on the Holy Grail? Are you related to Pope John Paul II? Who are you? Dan Brown is not your real name. I don't think so!

Curse of The Golden Flower by Sony

I was doing a research about the latest movie and I happened to see this movie "Curse of The Golden Flower." Why I didn't see this last year? Where am I? Ahaha! I watched the trailer of the movie and I was bewitched. I might buy the DVD soon.

Anything that is made from SONY are worth seeing and well worthy of "search." Anything that is made from SONY is the BEST among the best. My digital camera can prove it. My camera can even see the toughest ghost and sunrays .

This motion picture is superbly world acclaimed. The cinematography is astoundingly magnifico! The setting truly breathtaking and mesmerizing. The cast of characters are remarkably skilled in martial arts . This movie is enigmatic. A must see! One can only exclaimed WOW!!!!!

Let's Vote!

Let's vote for Hillary! Yehey! Ooppss way too early.

When Philippines had their first two female presidents, not only the Filipinos were shocked and in dismay, simply because the probability of having a woman president hasn't been tested yet in Asian countries nor in the U.S. The people, the detractors, critics, the media and the world are reluctant to that kind of idea. But time and again, never underestimate the power of women.
Women who can change the world and make it happen. Women who's got the leadership and initiative to pursue the lifelong liberty and democracy that we truly deserve.

The population of the world is in billions. Seventy five percent are female! Women have troubled being heard because the leaders are mostly male! More than century ago that somehow the British had undergo a retrospection of having women in Monarchy and that made Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth I and II the icon of what a woman can do when it comes to leadership and power. The image of Motherly, nocturnal and with distinction to a well organized absolute power to bring about change for mankind.

It's time for America to have a woman President and Mrs. Hilary Clinton is the best deserving for that role and title. She deserved it more than anybody else. She's more than a woman who can truly serve and unite all Americans towards peace and progress in the truest sense of these words. Her ideology towards Health Care, Education, Economics, Public and Foreign affairs are worthy to listen up to if you are an American. Her desirable traits encompassed amidst all the nastiest, most controversial issues that their family has gotten into. She is a real survivor! With all the scrutiny and humiliation that her family has encountered only the experts can noticed "She's tough and she's smart!"

Who I want to join her in her bid to the White House? None other than Sen. John McCain!

You Wanna Get Frozen?

After having to listen to Simply Red's "Don't You Forget About Me" I was taken off guard by having to read 4 pages of the "Blogger Terms of Service." Who me? Not me..then WHO? Oh my goodness! They gave me a warning. What have I done? Waaahhhh! (Crying out loud that the whole community can hear my super freaking loud noise!)

Is this a joke or what? Up to 16 conditions and policies!!Maybe fallacy?!Or PALA-C. Oh my Gosh! This could be a nightmare! Somebody reported me at the Google Headplex. AahhahahaAAAAAAAA!

One by one I read the policies. Though I hate reading these kind of terms. Term paper yes, I will do it with much gusto. However reading their policies, wow! super LONG! Yuck! Nobody reads long letters anymore. What's this a NOVEL?

I'm taking the 7 (SEVEN) whether you like it or not! What's number 7? NO RESALE OF THE SERVICE! Unless expressly authorized in writing by Google, you agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, resell or exploit for any commercial purposes (a) any portion of the service, (b) use of the service, or (c) access to the service. Intiendes? So from NOW onward, you are NOT allowed to sell or resell anything that belongs to ME. Unless otherwise written, and verbal consent from me. Why? Because you owed so much from me .

If you want the mountain FROZEN, we might as well send some snow storm or hailstorm over there. What do you think? That would be the next project.

The AfterMath

This is the reason why it's impossible for Vancouver Island to have a flood.
The reason is the people here always THINK AHEAD of time. Before the storm
hit the island with its violent force entry, the city workers had their list of what
needs to be done. Drill inspection, checking drainage and sewer outlets making
sure that no rubbish or any other fragments that may caused the flow of water
to a halt.

Build and Rebuilt. The windstorm that eventually blown off the shingles of some
rooftops here in the camp kept the city workers and business people alive. More work
to do than ever before.

My Quest, Etc.

My goodness they keep on giving me questions here and I keep on answering them. For what reason I answered them? Simply for the sake of curiousity, challenge myself and for the fun of it.

I already answered about five witty and weird questions, I don't know if the monitor behind this computer is aware.

By the way, my husband bought the new released Wilbur Smith's book titled: "The Quest." I love the front cover which is of an Egyptian goddess. Smell the pages of the book and you can distinguish if its a new book. It smells cedar! Or is it? Looking at those symbols, dreaming I should have been an archaeologist. I like archaeology. It is a very fascinating field of study. But you know to be an archaeologist requires lot of capital. Only wealthy people can afford this kind of work or unless someone is affluent enough to fund this kind of exploration. Also archeology requires the person to travel from one place to another, to other countries, to the ruins, to the amazons, to where the relic of their choice belongs or the probability that it can be found there.

Our Wilbur Smith's collection of books include: Golden Fox, A Time to Die, Birds of Prey, Monsoon, The Seventh Scroll, Warlock, Blue Horizon, The Triumph Of The Sun, The Quest.

I'm not done reading "The Quest." I'm still on pages 14. I will continue reading that book before bedtime and after I'm finished with other tasks here at home.

To Go Or Not To Go

I don't know if I have to continue blogging here or not.
Nothing really I can get from this blog. It's more like a waste of my time.
I can go and on and still, the old, bad, and the "fugly" gets the merit here.
Isn't that disappointing?

I heard lots of stories and read a lot of negativity. Whoever get the proper reviews here
are also the "pioneers" in Cali. If that's a Caliraya! You're all coconuts by now and we're
drinking your juice. Merci bucco! LOL!

Good riddance! I have different shoes to go with the flow.

No Guts No Glory!

You know now what the BLOGS here in Google are known for? It's a revolving space for eyeglasses when you have difficulty finding your reading glasses. It was in this kind of "survey" that they found out that millions have problem with "reading" and reading with understanding > comprehension. It is a blogsite actually dedicated to voice out your most innermost feelings. So that they know what's inside your mind. Truly a mindboggling way of perceiving what you are capable of. Most of all they want to make money on every innocent victim here. Ignorants? Maybe they are part of a scheme too. Any good or bad feedbacks or comments they receive, good or bad is publicity!! That's how they make money. Need more explanation? I don't think so.

Whatever the true plans of this network, they can change their new tactic for some reasons that we found out that most of them are just robots who take pride in their achievements. Poor! Watch iRobot and change your tactic. Oh, you are all robots anyway so, what's the best solution to them?

See that pyramid on top? Scheduled outage at 11 PM PST! LMAO! Yeah everytime I type in here there is a power outage. So much power from my SUN CHIPs. Blockbuster!

They can't win against me or else they'll be phased out.

Education

Having hangover from too much sweet stuff? I know how much sugar intake can make children and adults feeling so hyper. But there are kids who don' consume any of these sugary flavoured candies and chocolates are afflicted with these attention disorder or those that keep whirling around and non stop body movements almost like being automated. That you cannot let them sit properly on their seat for a minute or two. All these eventually lead to learning disability?

I think the main problem is not actually with the children but within the children's ability to learn in a "not" very pleasing atmosphere. The environment. The School! What's in the school? Let's have an example of a classroom with 40 middle school students. When I was in High School, each classroom has 50 students (25 girls + 25 boys). It was a Coed School, students have to wear uniform. Wearing identical uniform tend to help teachers and students rely on the "lesson" instead on about "fashion." The rooms are bigger in my School than other Schools here in Canada (That was in my time in High School) . Imagine having 50 wooden chairs with small desk attached to its arm plus the teacher's desk and her chair. I think our room was soundproof for I cannot hear the noise from the other rooms. When the teacher presided and wants to make his/her presence in the classroom she started with the roll call for attendance. Then the lesson begins. The lesson is most of the time the same from section one to section 10. That gives the teacher who from among the 500 students will end up at the top of the School. But sometimes the top 10 comes from section one. This is because the students at section one whose grades ranged from 85 to 99 %.

The basic arrangement of the class is "always" in alphabetical order unless "if" few students are nearsighted and they have to sit close to the board so that they can see what's being written or posted. Or if the student is a little deaf or hearing impaired. The seating arrangement is by 5's.
5 seating on the left and 5 seating on the right. There's a lane that divides the seating for the girls and the boys. This kind of seating arrangement make it easy for the students to move and for the teacher to inspect their paper work. The seating arrangement were arranged in order by the students who also clean the room after class. We don't have janitors, sad but true.

In my time, when the teacher is having her lesson at the front, all eyes on her. The teacher's voice should be loud enough for everyone to hear. The teacher is not allowed to just talk and the kids to listen to whatever she is saying. The teacher should at least provide visual aids or she can write on the blackboard and explain the topic for discussion. If she is not good in printing or writing on the board, she can ask the secretary of the class to do it for her (If they have a student body). Some teachers have poster inside the room or visual aids in the form of "slides" run by a new tech device. Some students wont have enough time to do all these things writing and listening at the same time when they are always in a hurry to get to another room for the next subject. This kind of formation is necessary in College not high school. Kids bouncing from one room to another caused too much noise and everyone's losing important time by changing rooms to get to another subject. That's why in my country they have the students in "block section." It is the duty of the teacher to go from one room to another saving precious time that is required for learning.

In High School students have a maximum 8 subjects: English, Pilipino, Social Studies, Economics, Science-Physics (Laboratory), PE or Physical Education(include Music and Arts), Math (Either Trigonometry, Geometry, or Algebra), Home Economics (Sewing, baking, painting, handicrafts, wine making, etc.) The laboratory and PE are in separate rooms. PE is most of the time outside for outdoor games and sports or at the gymnasium. One subject allowed for one hour only!There are extra curricular activities like being member of the School Dance Troupe, Cheering Squad, Singing (Choir Group, Volleybal Team, Basketball Team, Martial Arts Team. Teams who performed for intramurals. Extra curricular activities help boost the students' grade. CAT or Citizen Army Training is required in Fourth Year ( It's a military training, march, camping, first aid and other fitness endeavour)

I've never seen any student suffered from learning disability in my class or within the school area. I haven't heard of the word "Autism or Asperger Syndrome, Dyslexia, until I came here in Canada. I never encountered such "term!" That I want to know why there are millions of children afflicted with that kind of learning disability. Do we have to blame the parents or the teachers? Do we have to blame the School Board or the NEW TECHNOLOGY that not only the young ones but also the adults are being corrupted by this new high tech gadgets.

SMARTies

SURPRISE! Surprise!!

Whatever the result at the Dancing With The Stars it has nothing to do with the judges because they were there to judge without BIAS. To my own opinion the points they usually give to every
celebrity dancers are just without a doubt "truthful." They know all the dance technique and method. They know who's the real dancer and who's just there to gain sympathy. If the show is about DANCE, it should be just "dancing." Don't make that show a cheap show for some cheap shots!

Some people got an early result of the tv dance show. Can we wait for the actual broadcast of that high rating show before you start the rumor-mongering? Or would you rather have another CAT scan?

How many died from rumors and gossiping? How many homes were destroyed and got broken because of rumors? You want them to change their "faces" once again and proclaim how "smart" they are? And how smart you are? In Singapore, "rumor mongerers " are put to jail you know.

You cannot really tell or differentiate smart ones from the truly SMART individuals. Just because they use SMART CELfone and wear smart shirt, they are smart. It's not because they talk too much, they are smart. Don't judge the book by its cover. You've got to READ them.

Oh what a RIDDLE HUH! Nope not having alzheimers here! It's minie-mini- mo!!Make your own NEWS. To the buggers get a life! Or make your own soup. The Soup Nazi is out!

Circular

It's ridiculous when several stories we heard and read are almost the same or nothing has changed. It's probably old stories long time ago and then passed it to another person and becomes "word of mouth." It becomes the talk of the town, then country to country, and the world. Business people make copies of these stories in the form of books, newspapers, and magazines. Then whatever you read from those mediums were once again talked about. Some distort the facts, others added and subtracted the real stories.

Oh my God! We're really in a CIRCUS! It's like the Jumbo Dumbo's Story.Remember the Mother Elephant who received the baby elephant from the stork? Dumbo with the big wide fluffy ears! A story of Mother and Child and their ordeal with the rest of the animals in the group of Circus performers. Then the mouse appeared as the sort of "fairy" who help Dumbo conquer and defeat his fears and how he was able to fly through the help of the supposed to be "magic feather." A beautiful story not only rated for children but for every adults who are still childish in their ways of tackling their problems. We as adults also learned from children.

Those who are old and matured and not learned anything from their childhood and still grouchy as up today, you can see from their wrinkles how old they are. It's like counting the rings from an old redwood or sequoia tree.

I did a drawing, a sketch actually then I took a picture of it then uploaded the picture in my computer. The rest of the "subjects " that I snapped appeared in the folder except the drawing and the picture of the cone. So I put back the memory stick back to my digital camera to find out if my drawing and the cone was there. Everything's there inside the memory stick. Goodness it's awful how some devices work. Not all techno gadgets are perfect.

Recently, I watched a documentary about this certain machine that cuts the sugarcane from this plantation. I wonder if the machine also cut and separate the sharp leaves and sugarcane's skin from its meat, knowing the outside part of the canes are full of sharp slivers. You think only wood has sliver eh? We used to have 3 sugarcane plant in front of our house before and I know how to cut it and shave it with a knife. My siblings have the sugar cane for a snack while we load pail of water on our drum. That was the time when jet-o-matic hasn't been installed in our district's water system.

Politics As Usual

Have you read a lot of negative feedbacks about Mr. Dion of the Liberal Party Leader from Canada? That he is more fluent speaking French than English while the PM Harper speaks fluent English but not fluent in French. But did the critics ever asked that the majority of the Canadians doesn't care anyways. Because they are mostly Europeans, Asians and Americans!

The former PM Jean Chretien had the same problem as the oppressed not the oppressor. Critics are there to criticized everything that they can write or talk about be of politics, sports, arts, and the media. It is something that can bring the people to TALK and with this kind of communication whether its bad or good....yeah bad or good is a PUBLICITY for those whose names are mentioned. Do these kind of rumor-mongering makes money? The hell yes, it does makes money.

How much money it generates? That, I don't have a clue. I am not their accountant.

How the Conservatives and the Liberals make money? Probably from membership fee, fundraising and other businesses that each members are affiliated to. That's from a general viewpoint. You can ask some of your MP's how they're doing it.

Take into account a smaller group. Like having a private non- profit organization in your community. Take for example a group of Filipino-Canadian Club or Italian-Canadian, Chinese-Canadian or Japanese-Canadian Club. Once you organize a certain club, to be a member in that exclusive organization, a membership fee is required. The fee becomes the club's main fund for safekeeping or part of that fund becomes a capital for the activities that they want to work on with. The activities sometimes in the form of party or occasional party that the officers organized. The party has to sell tickets and those tickets sale derived revenue. These revenues are then used for other activities: sports, arts and entertainment, or whatever the officers and members voted upon in the group meeting. The excess of the money they made for a certain period, if there is.. becomes "grant" to their charity of choice.

That's how simple it is in a small organized community group. The accounting is very simple especially when you can trust the officers whom you voted in such organization. The members always asked where the money goes. What happened to their contributions? That the officers should have a notarized or bank statements or just simply a written balance statement of the account. The president, secretary and the auditor (cashier) are the 3 important characters in a club. If something mess up then the blame belongs to them. Uhm, is that so!? Not really because there are too many barrier and hindrances that make the communication fails in the first place. Each one wants to lead and each one wants to be better than the other.

What's with sage?

SAGE, the aromatic smell of this herb when grounded brings spicy tangy taste to chicken and turkey' s stuffing.

SAGE is not only an oriental spice but also defined as a wise man. A man of spiritual convention and upbringing.

SAGE is also a software with its message that is so loud and concrete:

"Spend less time on your books and
More time growing your business."

YOUR BUSINESS IN MIND "SIMPLY ACCOUNTING "

I think that's what the Big Guy wants you to know and accomplish for the time being.
How much is too much and how much is nothing?

The City of California on a bird's eye view looks like a sock. Where's the other pair? California is located down Oregon. from the Cascade Ranges down through La Mesa. It's in between Oregon and Mexico. Further right is where Arizona.

Where the hardest "hit" is in San Diego! What's in San Diego? Isn't in the place where they manufacture aerospace, and oceanographic devices? Before it's where the naval installations are.

Whatever is the cause of fire? It's time to have the accounting ready. Body counting or whatever is left from that wildfire. Then start the construction fast. Ha! You think that's easy eh? It's way easy when there's budget allocated for the housing and infrastructure. But maybe there is.

In Canada, that's the supposed project too - more housing for the middle class and the rich. For poor people? I haven't seen any poor people here.

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? I missed that show with the acappella . A tv show about geometry/geography >> the focus is more on ATLAS.

Wildfire as in Fuego!

If it's not earthquake, it's wildfire! What's goin' on in California?

It seems to me that California is the "epicenter" of breaking news. California is known for its vast orange plantation. Until it becomes the site of Universal Studios and planet Hollywood. It is also where Disneyland can be found. A hot and sunny place to go for a vacation because of its warm beaches. Not only it is a tourist destination but it is a mecca of popular boutiques where famous designer clothings and accessories are available. It is also a place where the rich and famous frolic under the sun.

Too many wealthy families in California as seen with their affluent kind of lifestyles and the standard of living is very high. But disaster after disaster, only one can see the magnitude of
how their lives changed dramatically. But no one seem to care from outside world, because they are "so rich" over there. They might lose their houses but how many of them have houses from different parts of the U.S. and maybe chateau from the other parts of the world. The only way who can help them is what Pres. Bush announced> FEMA

The inevitable drought that swept that county is almost unbelievable. The wildfire that they cannot stop until now is almost hard to believe. But that's what you can see on your tv news most of the time. Is the news on television real or not? The news on tv and internet news bear the same interest to other readers. To find out if the news is real and on the exact date where you at now is to get to the "place" where its happening. The news reporter should be there and relay the news with much accuracy not deceiving the public. For someone to deceive the public of the news is not funny at all especially when it's not April Fool's Day and Trick or Treat's Day.
Because the asians have a way of access to the barrier called invisible curtain.

To the journalists make sure what you are broadcasting on tv and internet are with merit and most of all accurate. No apologies accepted when you're just guessing. If you want to sing or listen to some singers open up "American Idol" or "Canadian Idol" I know its kind of boring when all you watch are sports, dancing, politics and old movies. TV as usual reigned with much power amongst other electrical gadgets.

What they get from those Idols? Entertainment of course! What else? While I decide to be a listener to 2 opposing characters.

Cloud-Seeding Experiment

"Do not seed the first cloud. SEED the second."

What the hell is that? Confused? Yeah it is confusing because we don't really know what kind of seeds they are talking about. Hehehe! Funny. Tickle my funny bone

I was of course talking about the "cloud-seeding experiment." An experiment done by the genius at GE. This kind of experiment was done long time ago, maybe even before World War II. The scientists provided special method of "seeding the cloud" through the use of artificial technique and maneuver. They used silver iodide crystals onto the cloud to generate artificial rain. If the silver iodide didn't work according to the plan, they use dry ice or sprayed 400 gallons of water on the clouds. Sometimes these methods worked and sometimes not. Why? It's because there are certain factors in the atmosphere that need to be reconsider.

Gusty winds can sometimes blew the clouds away to different destinations. Instead of having the rain showers on that dry places the wind blew it to another city.

That can only mean that weather is truly unpredictable. However, there's always a solution for every problem and that is to be very ALERT or pay other consequences.

OTHER TOPIC:

ENTERTAINMENT: True to what I expect, Mark and Kym were eliminated from the "Dancing With The Stars." last night. Was he pleased with the result? I think he knew he was "next." Their dance step was so simple compared to the rest of the dancers who are almost acrobatic and becoming circus performers with their stunt dancing.

Come to think of it. Isn't that what's happening now in school? That in order for the teachers to recognize your potentials you have to double your effort in studying and add some more extra curricular activities, be in sports: soccer, basketball, volleyball, football, tennis and other sports available in the school. What they don't have in school is golf. I don't know why. Isn't it about time for them to recognize it also in school for their PE?

WHAT BUGS YOU THE MOST?

Have you ever seen some old pictures and video tapes on tv as redundantly being flashed then you see it in the old magazines somewhere? Ha! I couldn't believe my eyes and the rest of the stories. I found it irritating and annoying. Some news are old news! I think it's better to OPEN our eyes and mind with the LATEST.

Mr. Anderson Cooper has a new series at CNN called THE PLANET IN PERIL. I usually watch it. It's very educational. One can only wonder, "oh is that what it looks like over there?"

I remember the time when my Sister went to Italy for schooling. One of her introductory report was about herself and her country of origin. She forgot some postcards and other pictures to go with the report because she thought they have books there that shows the latest about her country. The teacher provided some slides and she was shocked and shocked even more when the device showed the site of her country on an almost 18th Century setting. The classmates laughed at what's being focused on the screen. Some Black students commented, "Oh, now I know why these Filipinos are street sweepers in my country."

I don't think the Pope like that comment so....

Something To Talk About

My hydro bill came. The bill's statement:

From August 8 - August 31 $ 55.90
From September-October 8 $ 81.61

Plus tax + Total $ 156.77

A $ 25.71 increase in our hydro consumption this is because our house needs the heater on now. On summer months we don't use the heater. We have to use our fans. Airconditioning unit? Is not really a necessity here in British Columbia. Unless of course if you live in Cache Creek, Kelowna, and Okanagan where the temperature is super hot on summertime and very cold on winter months. That's because they are located in the interior part of B.C. Cities located along the Pacific ocean have mild to moderate temperature.

So what's happening in California with all those fires? They always encounter blaze of fire. probably the cause is the hot and dry spell humid climate. Besides, did you know that they are close to the desert over there. What other factors that maybe the cause of fire? Lots of sparkling shiny mirrors? The modern windmills? Or they're driving away bugs from their california oranges, or trying to alter weather temperature so that their oranges wont freeze or frozen. Or it can be a "kaingin system" to yield another crop. As of now, the fire 's still in the news.

Another kind of fire is when rumors spread like wildfire! The "machineries" providing lots of news in the form of gimmickery, limerick, publicity stunts in an effort to provide NEWS for people who wants extra spice in their lives. SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT to provide fun and livelihood. That sometimes you don't know what is real and what is fake.

Happy are those who owned the "publications" huh! Lucky for those whose selling the INK and the PAPER and paper products.

The Color Pink

Are you in the pink of health? If the answer is YES. Good for 'ya. But, several intellectuals HATE this color. Not only it resembles Pink the singer whom "they" hate but because it is also known as a "pink slip."

Pink colors are absolutely gorgeous when suddenly the arrival of your next baby is a "girl." Pink is a feminine color. Just as when someone calls you, your "pink" it means you are quite as rosy.

Baby pink , pink for babe. Pinkish color like the multivitamins - flintstones. The worst kind of pink is when you have it taken as a cough syrup or you know what .....when you have the "d" I seldom wear pink color outfit. I am not that softy. Pink is not softy too so why is she named as "Pink." I wonder why.

I once attended a funeral and I was thinking of bringing a rose but there's only pink roses available in that shop. My sister said why are you going to give the deceased some roses when he's a guy. When I viewed his casket, there are bunch of pink roses with him. Oh gheez, isn't that a coincidence!

There's a lot of coincidences already in my quest for life. Chances are, ESP are not yet valid up to now.

Out of gas?

In the past: The first oil was squeezed from the purest and finest virgin oil from OLIVES. It is the treasure of the Jews and Greeks. Olive oil had its precious content for its not only used for cooking, baking, bathing, cosmetics but also being used for medicinal purposes. It is widely use all over the world that a small bottle of genuine olive oil will cost you $5.00/10 ml.

As time goes by, the consumption of oil is becoming a great problem for the production is limited for not too many plant olive trees because it requires a certain kind of soil and climate. Besides with the population explosion, the production of olive oil is not enough. It is such a high commodity product that its demand is very much valued in the past and at present. Reality is the price and the output cannot meet the demands. That's why the rest of the population seek and discovered that there are other plants capable of of producing oil.

Here are the list of plants that can produce oil for its commercial value:

1. Coconut
2. Corn
3. Sunflower
4. Canola
5. Other vegetables

Animals and fish that natural oil and gas can be derived from:

1. Cows/ Cattles
2. Pigs
3. Chicken
4. Turkey
5. Seals and sealions
6. Walrus
7. Salmon
8. Tuna

Other Sources:

1. Left over oil from commercial deep fryers from restaurants and other commercial establishments. The process and methods of straining this oil can be turned to extra energy.

2. Cogon grass

3. Papyrus plants

4. Wheat and other grain products if its possible (?) Try it or make an experiment.

I was thinking whether pumpkins and family of squash can produce oil? Uhm, just asking.

Googles Philosophy and My Wisdom

When I signed up for Google, it 's actually on the basis of believing their 10 PHILOSOPHY that seems to be TRUE! Yes it is similar to my own way of THINKING.

But because I am a HUMORIST, My own interpretation maybe even better. (huh!)

1. FOCUS ON THE USER AND ALL ELSE WILL FOLLOW
My interpretation: I know that the focus is on ME. Ahaha! Bragging to death! Sort of. I'm a strategist therefore the focus should be on this site. Clear and simple! The pages and squire or scribes load instantly at my command. Who AM I? Placement of the result is never sold to anyone because they have to make money first before you do (?) Advertising on the site offers relevance. If its a distraction someone should have been fired at KEGS.

2. IT'S BEST TO DO ONE THING REALLY, REALLY WELL.
Interpretation: Google is about search and research. Rescue? Maybe! Some of the bloggers (just like me) will do that for you. If your interest is about Astronomy, Aesthetics, Arts, Education, Health, Science, Environment, Sports, Music, all kinds of topic....you can find it here at Googles and my other favourite sites: Yahoo!360.

If you want humor and wit we've got IT. If it's dry and evil, BURN IT!

3. FAST IS BETTER THAN SLOW
Interpretation: Instant Gratification! Gratification of information as fast as lightning? Yes it depends if the communication is open and the channels are within your reach. The access is limitless provided that there is no barrier and of course depends on how much you can pay the messenger. See, no stupid will do that kind of work. Volunteers? The reason why we are moonlighting its because some of us need to work and if your working it means you have to earn wages.

4. DEMOCRACY ON THE WEB WORKS
Interpretation: My blog is similar to "Doctors Without Borders." Call the bloggers as "Writers Without Borders." Freedom works here.

5. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE ON YOUR DESK TO NEED AN ANSWER
Interpretation: With the latest communication gadgets and devices, gathering of informations are fast and reliable (?) that depends on the writer's conscience. If all else fails: Mental telepathy is required.

6. YOU CAN MAKE MONEY WITHOUT DOING EVIL
Interpretation: Google is a business. Google firmly believes Ads provide useful information. How to make money is yet for me to find out. Let 's see

7. THERE's ALWAYS MORE INFORMATION OUT THERE
Interpretation: With million bloggers out there the info is limitless

8. THE NEED FOR INFORMATION CROSSES ALL BOARDERS
Interpretation: The HEADquarters in California, The LEGS in CANADA, The HANDS crosses all boarders around the world - having multiple access.

9. YOU CAN BE SERIOUS WITHOUT A SUIT
Interpretation: Is that 50/50? I love challenges as much as I like having fun. Work and play combined. I want to make a difference and maybe this is the right information vehicle. SUITcase by Samsonite

10. GREAT JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH
Interpretation: Constant dissatisfaction? Well, I found a way to bring in wit and humor here. I hope its for the BEST. If you want a FISHING VEST try to go fishing at CAMPBELL RIVER. Salmon, trout, tuna (Y) and halibuts!

UPDATE? It has something to do with my frequent bout with chats and future" forcast "of course. Nope it wont be in a QUATRAIN. We'll use the eVIARAIL (4 H's)

It's blurry and cloudy when its foggy! Otherwise, it's all just a way of keeping everyone glued to the internet highway. Unless of course if the people at Googleplex knows how to stir the lemonade.

SPLENDID!

HILARIOUS!! I just received a $30.00 OFF from STAPLES!
Thirty dollars OFF for my next full serve COPY and PRINT Centre

Too FAST, Too FURIOUS! LMAO!

Sign of Times

Yesterday was kind of gloomy, cloudy and scattered rain showers felt through almost through the day until about 5pm and it brightened up a bit. It's a point in time when the Far East used most of the solar light.

Before that:
At about 3pm when a loud siren was heard outside in our village, one can only wonder and watch what's happening at that moment. It turned out there's was a house on fire almost close to that forest nearby. Then there was a rushing ambulance and rescue operations going on. It was fast and quick. The fire department and the police force wasted no time to put off the fire. The owner of the house was probably thankful that these men and women in uniform are truly worthy of praise.

If that happened in other countries, the whole house was already burnt into ashes and the next of the houses burning still because of how slow the rescue effort is. But sometimes, the problem is lack of water or water is not enough to sustain the situation. Or if there are few authorities in service to do the job. Sometimes there are more lurkers and bystanders doing nothing but watch.

How to send a SIGN? When it's all smoke and no fire? Aha! One time back to my previous work , one of my co-workers told me, "there's fire in the fields." I rushed outside to look out where the field is located and if there is then it's time to call 911. But there's no fire. I went back to her and said, "there's not even a smoke." And she didn't say anything after that. Is that a trick or what?

I hate something like that. It's not good! Tricks don't work on me especially if its something pertaining to a kind of "fire." Fireworks yes, that's good in some countries who knows how to use it. There's a Chinese mega mall in this particular country where they avail themselves of fireworks celebration almost every month as a sign of harvesting profit and on the other hand to drive away bad spirits.

Dancing With The Stars

Once again, "Dancing With The Stars" proved to be a truly enticing entertainment show on TV. The celebrity dancers trying to improve their dance steps to the delight of their own family and loved ones.

I made a point to watch this popular ABC Show every Monday night at 8pm. The show is tagged LIVE! Last night's performance was another success for Sabrina Bryan and Mark garnering perfect score of 10 from each of the 3 judges: Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, and Bruno Toniolli.Total score of 30 points.

The celebrity dancers and their corresponding score:

1. Mark and Kim = 22 points

2. Sabrina and Mark = 30 points
They both dance really well as you can see how they practice with much effort. Sabrina was seen wearing violet gown that looks great on her.

3. Jane and Tony = 26 points
Practice session showing Jane and Tony dancing and "foot painting" at the same time. Oh, Jane is a painter? Hmm... that's something new. I didn't knew about it until yesterday. She probably missed Drew. Just kidding

4. Floyd and Karina = 23 points
They both had a visit at one of the elementary school in the US. The students greeted them with a big banner to welcome their presence there. I don't know what else they talked about because it was just a short gesture of something to project on tv. Don't tell me those kids will vote for Floyd? Let us see.
* This reminds me of "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?"

5. Mel and Max = 26 points
What can I say with Mel. Ah, he was a little tomboyish at first, now she's becoming lady-like with finesse in her dance steps. Thanks to Max. Both of them seen having yoga session as a form of meditation to calm their nerves.

6. Cameron and Edyta = 27 points
Incredible outfit! That's what she wears during the practice? No wonder, Cameron's son was getting cheesy!

7. Marie and Jonathan = 26 points
Oh lala, Marie in a Marie Antonette's hairdo? Well, it looks good on her though as she danced like a Cinderella in a peachy coral ballgown. Uhm...

8. Jenny and Derek = 27 points
Jenny's getting better as a dancer. Even her whole family showed so much support in her new career. That's what every family should be, being supportive!

9. Julienne and Helio = 27 points
Julienne looks almost like a mermaid in her shiny gown and Helio wearing a white formal attire, no wonder Bruno said something like he is likened to "sunlight." Ahahaha!

Drew Lachey 's out covering for Samantha. Oh yes, Samantha Harris is back to co-host with Tom Bergeron on Dancing With The Stars. Tonight is the elimination round so watch for it on your TV. Who do you think will go home tonight?

Monster Pumpkin

Imagine, I just couldn't believe what am seeing when I saw this monster of a pumpkin. I just can't hold my curiousity with my very own eyes. I took my digital camera to take a snapshot of this giant pumpkin.

Would you believe if that's a real pumpkin or not? How can you know without opening it into half. Can your eyes penetrate what's inside that pumpkin? Do you think its made of rubber or just some kind of a trick done by a prankster? To determine whether to know if it is a real pumpkin is to touch it and open the giant. But hey, it was there in the pick up truck and the owner is not even there. It's left there for the neighbor to get struck with awes and wonder. I know I should ask my neighbor first if that pumpkin is real and most of all if I can take a picture of that giant vegetable.

I was actually reluctant to post it here but you know it's nice to shock the pumpkin's owner once in a while. Maybe when that person find out his pick up and pumpkin is here in the internet then he get the shock of a lifetime too. LMAO! That's an equal shocker!

Where they found this pumpkin? I don't have a clue. I can only think it's from the garden. It must be from a super seed collected from their super giant pumpkin that they've harvested before. What a delightful super harvest they have and sure this pumpkin is a "winner." They should have this pumpkin in a harvest festival or have it in a pumpkin contest. Or the so called popular pumpkin boat festival.

To the owner of the pumpkins..."thank you" so much for having me and the rest of the onlookers who had our eyes widened and our jaws dropped with amazement.

A New Beginning

More and more writers coming out in the open> It all begins with just plain literary journal, diary, simple blogs, clippings, written daily rants, about their day to day account about almost everything that made their lives worth living. These journals filed up, almost like a book. I know it's more than a book.

You decided printing them one by one, page by page through your printer. Normally, it takes a second or two to print from your machine. Then it gets longer. It takes longer when you are impatient to know when it's gonna end. As you were busy printing them, unknowingly about the time, and then you just had a shock of a life time that the journals you made through the internet is way over 300 hundred pages! Yes it is and the printer started giving you warning that it's about to change the cartridge for you have just consumed the first ink cartridges that were free when you bought the new printer/copier. The new printer also consumed the remaining ink from another multi-pass scanner.So, you went rushing out to Staples to find out if they're still open at past 6pm. Well, so glad they were that they are open up to 7pm that night. Goody! What a relief huh! You just found the right ink for your new printer only to be shocked at the cost when it get scanned at the cash register's screen. Oh my goodness! Inhale, exhale....there's no way out but to purchase that very precious INK ! Later on, you just realized the amount of that ink equals to that printer you bought recently. Furious? Sigh....

After all the pain, the cost of making this "journal" which is actually a family journal> a journey to life , happiness and to health. For that 300+ less than 400 is worth keeping as I told to myself. The amount of the laser-typed very white looking bond paper that were used to make it is there in my trunk for safe-keeping.

Yes, the making of a book is worth more than what you expect especially if you don't have the "industrialized or the commercial printer."This kind of printer is used for bulky or wholesaler's , the ones used by publisher of newspapers and magazines.

However, you want to blog some more, because blogging seems to be an integral part of your life NOW. It becomes your reality and almost a sign of "calling." Then you write some more, jot down important events, add some sense of humor, applied wit, metaphor, all the exciting ideas that go with your chosen path. Not only you discover another escape route but you found a better way to indulge your skills in a more productive way. The good thing about all these ..Its working according to your plan. Plan or the Leche Flan! OOoopss! That's my dessert. I 'm still with my appetizer okay.

All the members knew what you are doing. because you're always there in one corner freaking so busy typing on your keyboard. Laughing out loud when words became evidently funny. Cry?! No!! They haven't seen you cry . Oh wait, When you're so overjoyed, tears falling from tear ducts down through your cheeks...they know they were tears of joy!

Yes, writing, blogging, memory jogging what ever you call your new dreamworld is absolutely more than your life especially if you exert a lot of sweat and effort in this newfound love of yours. For me, this blog is my new pet project.

I can go on and on, never get tired writing or typing. It is my own way of releasing the inner energy within me. I feel like a shining sun, refreshing the morn' with showers of light, "enchanting" the whole world. Just as when I get so over fatigued and sleepy; giving you just the moonlight as it serenades a tranquil night, shimmering the gentle grayish cloud.
