Why I knew you'll respond right away? Oh that's right I forgot to tell you folks that I have stalkers! Too many of them. If you see me at the store: small stores, big box stores these stalkers were there to look and stare at me. They were there to make fun at me. I know!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seemed like an old story or old movie when these "notorious stalkers are members of the ______________!" What can I do about it? Well guess what they cannot harm me when I'm with my husband beside me. Once these "stalkers" did their "stunts to hurt me when they saw me all alone. I don't know why these stalkers can go freely and show themselves in public. Aren't they supposed to be in jail? Don't worry I 'll have a close watch on you stalkers!

The Right To Talk and Be Heard is A Right Of Every Human Being Living In This World

If it quacks like a duck it's a DUCK! PATO! It's not pathological behaviour when you keep chatting to somebody else. At least there is that "someone" who listens.  Chatting with your voice coming out, yeah there is SOUND that you can hear  from such conversation between you and your Mother. Or chatting between you and your friends. It's NORMAL for parents to talk to their children in what matters to them as a family. What happened in school from day to day activities. What happened to the children while they are at school. It is NORMAL for parents or esp. the Mother to ask what the children learned from school. Duty, responsibility and obligation of parents to ask the children not only of what they learned is sensible enough to make it to the next level. It is the duty of the Mother or Father to ask their children if they learned anything that will justify that the teachers TEACH or has TAUGHT them something new or what can be suitable for the grades they have or have to achieve. That's everyday day to day happening at home. Parents are worried about so many things happening at school for they also experienced the same kind of school environment wherein there are hostility, segregation, misunderstanding and misconception of too many concept whether when it comes to academic or extra curricular activity the students are engaged in school. Concerned parents are worried of the bullying system, fraternity, sorority and what else you can add? Parents are not that dumb to know whatever is happening or whatever is there a need to know...Let us be aware of everything so that we can help you. Not that we have to join the club.

I just happened to view certain video of "an expert" when it comes to behavioural problem and that person suggested that it's the Mother who's to be blamed and she concluded right away of "pathological behavior" and that woman need to see a doctor.  This is when the problem is out of bounds. Parents knew all along. Mother most of the time experienced certain characteristic in them about "instinct" Mother instinct, she knows when a child is in trouble and she knows to have such wide knowledge in perceiving if there is something wrong with their child.

Let me tell you about this. AUTISM problem is more prevalent occurring disorder mentally and physically + psychologically here in Canada and the USA. Before the ratio of children with autism is 1 in 200 that's before Year 2000. Then later it was 1 in 165.  Recently it's now 1 in 99. Increasing rate of autistic children in Canada. Even adults are experiencing that kind of similar malady. Know why? Let us find out why...when only few people talk in a certain village or community where you think the young kids learned from talking? When parents worked and only baby sitters are left behind to do the work at home and you think they have time to talk to the kids? At school how many teachers TALK? Do they really talk in front of the class or just watch them like as if they are their babysitter? Now that the communication is thr. TEXTing even teenagers have problem talking and problem with communication becomes in demand. Texting! Just simple greetings is through texting. Only few people now use telephone to communicate. When they heard people talking they thought they are weird and ignorant. Is it too much to talk? Talking with voice coming out from your voice box is a normal way to practice your vocal chord. It makes you human when you talk. Only human talk and parrots! Right there's voices and words coming out from these two beings.

So why autistic children cannot talk? Do they read minds instead? They mimic others of what they can hear? What could be the problem? I love talking. TALK and chatting. Conversation seemed such an abnormal way of life now because some people hate talking and they cannot voice out their grievances and they all end up in the mental ward or ER because of heart failure. When you stop people from talking there must be something wrong either you are in the library, in private room listening to another conversation or listening to music or inside the church where the priest is officiating a mass. To stop someone from talking or stop people from talking when it is a right for that someone to talk is rude. What's wrong with talking? Don't you like hearing voices from people? Do you like them unable to learn? You want them to shut up and be mute?

Excessive talking is not good. I know that. When you are not ask about it or been questioned there's no need to respond. Okay let's all text and write instead but you will be spoiling your saliva again. Make sure you have gum so that your breath is fresh and not stagnant and smelly like an imburnal. make sure you brush your teeth and use listerine or any good scope mouthwash to freshen your breath because when you stop talking the germs in your mouth accumulate so much bacteria and that's the leading cause of bad breath.

I love to hear people talking. It makes me feel like I'm in a civilized world. I like to feel that I am not in a cemetery. I like people talking because it's their right and a privilege of certain few in a given society. Aren't you glad you can talk because others cannot talk or utter any single word?

Let's All SPIN the Economy That Makes MONEY

It comes into my ATTENTION about the HIGHER EDUCATIONal SYSTEM in CANADA is far better in comparison with other nations or countries in the world. As I mentioned before the system of EDUCATION here is SUPER HIGH standard! Nobody can reach it except if you are riding the rocket ship built by NASA.

Sounds too good to be true?! It's true! Even the TEACHERS, PARENTS and many EDUCATORS here in Canada can feel it. They were in a spin, big spin and they are all spinners now.

What can you do when nobody can reach the sky? You think it's only up to the ceiling? It's over the roof and above heaven now. Educational system in Philippines need not be the same as in Canada or the US or European countries but because there is this "jurisdiction" of who will pass the test that requires great skills and with a mind bigger than the Earth so that whoever can pass will carry the flag on top of the world. And you did carry the flag on top of the world. Even the Aurora Borealis feels it. You can feel IT.  Everyone does feel it. Manhid ka na lang kung hindi mo mafeel. Oh TOUCH.

Okay you have few months to get ready. Mr. Mark Tewksbury your Chef de Mission to the London 2012 is READY!  Who is Mark Tewksbury? He is the Canadian Olympic Gold Medallist. He will accompany all the Canadian athletes to the Olympic Summer Games in London this Year 2012. Yes dude it's 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So wake up now! Enough sleeping.

LONDON 2012 OLYMPIC SUMMER GAMES on July 27, 2012 - August 12, 2012

You have enough time to practice with your skills in: Swimming, Archery, Horseback-riding, Rifle-shooting, Discus (Disc-throwing), Marathon, Long distance Run, Gymnastics, Dance,  Dragon boating,  Hi-jump, Wrestling, Football, Volleyball, Baseball, Soccer, Rugby, Boxing, etc.

Did they include GOLF?

Uhm, Creepy eh?!

I think I am whining too much or too much rants which is simply a natural way of communication for bloggers like me. Others blog as if no tomorrow. They blogged every hour on the hour as if breaking news on TV. Probably their source of income is through their blogs. The journalists knew this system on the hour by the hour is just normal for them. Their hands never stop from writing and typing. They have to be always alert on what news they can bring in to the network, to the channels. With the competition and in a very competitive business they should not fail their own channel. It's their life and they have to be very busy and on the go most of the time even if the situation is uncalled for. No matter what barriers or hindrance along the way whether there's a typhoon, hurricane, war torn area, deserted zone, earthquake and disaster these journalists have remarkable way of beating any system just to be there where it happened. Be there on places whether it's a taboo or forbidden places they will seek to search and made news from those disaster, calamity, and even beyond the grave. That's their job and they are good at it.

Am I like that? NO! My definition of BLOGGER is different from them. I am a blogger not a journalist. So when you read my blogs, make sure you pray real hard that you wont vanish or banished from this site. Ahahahahaah! Makes me the booter of the century! Nah just kidding. Being a journalist and a blogger is not what you intend to do or make fun with. Journalist has a responsibility to their employer, to their editor marketing their news here and abroad. They have an obligation as stipulated  in their contract.And they are paid real good by the employer. While the bloggers has an obligation to themselves. A blog is like a DIARY of day to day of the person whose interest and hobbies they used to post in their respective site. That their blog's content favor their own selves, family and what their personality is without any restrictions they can post according to their own conscience. As a matter of fact most of the post by other bloggers are somewhat true, honest and constructive. Uhm, as if they were all saints! Bakit kaya? Ah siguro dahil mababait sila and I'm the only naughty here? lol. OMG!

Okay people let's all sing Radio Head's C R E E P >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Within that TIME PERIOD, within that period of time of the year, month and week as if there is a connection to what happened also to my sister and uncle having an accident with vehicles.

My sister and her co-passengers all riding this vehicle and they had an accident on the road. Some are injured and others received just slight injury. She just told me about this after I wrote them what happened to me. Then she told me that my uncle was badly injured, being a victim by a hit and run driver. Until now we don't know who to blame and who did it. His leg was amputated and was walking on crutches to ease mobility after the operation. Later on he died. I heard some sort of "complications" and cancer.
------------------------------------

Yesterday, had a message from my brother that the cemetery in my hometown will be rebuilt or renovated and all the families of those dead people buried in that particular cemetery were informed that their beloved deceased member of the families will be taken out from that grave site. Even the graveyard is becoming populated. I just couldn't believe it. Where you think those remains be moved? What will replace of the cemetery? Don't tell me they will build a subdivision over there? Oh well, the land is getting smaller in Philippines. Land divided, getting smaller because of over population.

Metro Manila was over populated due to the influx of people living in the provinces moving to greater Manila area to find employment, to study in prestigious university and schools. Easy Access to modern facility, infrastructure and establishments where other provinces cannot provide.

Isn't that's what's happening in other big cities in the world?

Believe It Or Not It's Up To You

Waited for the garbage collector to pick up the garbage outside so that I could have the waste container back to its proper place at the backyard then walked out to get the paper and flyers at the newstand next block of the street. I was about to cross the yard grass to the sidewalk, concrete walkway when I almost fall to the ground. Almost! The sidewalk is too icy. I decided to tread on the grassy isle with pebbles and soil not covered with cement. Darn! I could have injured myself there. While thinking about what happened to my niece I tried to be careful. And in that moment of thinking of her injury a loud siren was heard. The noise coming from the next block of the street. What could be happening in that moment? Such an awful to think about. Ambulance? A siren for ambulance or just somebody is over speeding? What could be?

Back to my niece's injury from falling unto an icy walkway outside the church. Somebody forgot to spread or sprinkle industrial salt. Hmmm------. In America or anywhere in America if you had an accident or injury from the area where business establishment is located the injured person can sue the establishment. However if its within the area surrounding the church...can you sue the church?





The point is they only gave an immediate first aid to her foot, wrapped it with white bandages and she's wearing crutches to fairly manage her to stand and walk unassisted. The plaster (cement) to be administered on the next day maybe to find out if there's a need or no need to have such cast on her foot. Ah she'll be okay. She had that one injury before on her arm. Years ago when she was barely 7 years old.  So severe that her parents panic and one of them lose consciousness when the doctor had her arm snapped its joint from the elbow to the point of injured dislocated arm. Plaster cement was also applied to join the dislocated bones properly. Oh weird eh? So scary.

It is at this time of the year that we have to keep ourselves in focus. Be cautious of the dangers of icy cold temperature, slippery icy road and streets especially on highways where there are possibility of mishap, vehicles ramming one after another or vehicles falling unto the bridge, canal, or pavements. Make sure your vehicles are in good condition, have snow tires, with chains at least hooked to the tires, have a thorough inspection of your vehicle if its really fit for driving. Slow down and don't drive recklessly.

I remember a time when I had an awful shocking ordeal when after taking a MTR from main  terminal to the point of our destination, it was such a pleasant day actually even if that MTR was built on underground tunnel and passing through underground tunnel and caves. I have that fear of being buried alive inside the MTR. (LRT is different altogether, LRT is a special train passing through an open railway above the ground, MTR is underground). Then we rode a bus where the route is around steep highways, around mountainous area, along the sharp edges of the mountains and hills. It was scary alright. Imagine yourself if you are to sit on a double- decker and you are at the top deck. Anyway, would rather sit on the lower deck instead for fear of height in a moving transit. Anything goes well, my friends and I got out of the double decker safely and we walked from the station to the house of my cousin. On the way while we are chatting and securely walking on the sidewalk I noticed a car, slow moving car who keeps following us. tailing us. Why? I don't know if my friends were aware. I was in between sides of my two friends and I changed places. I decided to walk beside my two friends, me at the right side facing the road. Then all of a sudden the driver of the car bumped me instantly. I was hit. I was off balance! I almost scream bloody hell about to get up to face what hit me, then the car's tire started rolling on my left leg. I heard loud screaming and yelling. People standing and sitting outside the store in that small community were screaming loudly and yelling (in their Cantonese language and accent) and rushed to our side to help. They were cursing the driver.  I tried to walk as if nothing happened. Actually can't feel anything. Then all of a sudden had a fall again right there on the ground because my left leg was numb. From my thigh to the foot was numb, cannot feel anything. I was paralyzed. My leg was paralyzed! As if I lost my whole leg. There is no blood, no pain. I looked at my shoes, my brown shoes.  My new pair of brown shoes the one I just bought on that day had scratch mark on its tip, otherwise that's the only mark on my shoes. Slight mark of scratches even if my foot was rolled over by a moving car's tire. How heavy a car's tire rolling on your foot? If that happened to you what will you feel? No injury?  I don't feel anything. Totally NUMB! I was shocked! I started crying. Too many Chinese people rushed to talk to the driver and one passenger with her. Yes the driver was a woman. The woman who hit me. They were talking in Chinese language that I can't barely understand. The two foreigners from Taiwan who was "lost" or unable to locate their destination looking for their friend as what they said to those bystanders. Those "bystanders" asked them to take me to the hospital. Yes I was rushed to the hospital, had an x-ray. My friends were crying with me. Then my employer came at the hospital, rushing to find out what happened to me. I explained to them. My friends and the driver talked to my employer.  The hospital staff x-rayed my leg and foot. Then the doctor and another staff talked to my employer. I cannot remember after that what's the result of that x-ray. I had a problem with walking for a month. I was taking medication for pain when my foot started swelling and the numbness gone but still I had problem walking my left leg. My employer gave me a balmy menthol fragrance  Chinese medicated cream that I applied to my leg and foot for more than a month until the swelling is healed and until I was able to walk. Turned out that the magic cream came from an old woman who I once see sitting on the cemented concrete stairs downhill going to the market. She was really, really old, like a hermit. Almost hunchback, maybe she is already hundred years old and she had her woven bags filled with many dried herbs and roots used for medicine and herbs used for Chinese three hour soup. The magical mysterious content of 3 hour soup and energy booster herbs and spices plus the medicated cream helped me regained strength and vitality. Thank God and praise the Lord!

Somehow in all account having a religious belief on something that will heal you invokes miracle and it's only granted if you have that strong faith. That's what it is. Too many un-explain  mysteries in this world and miracles are granted not to all of us and that's make the believer happy and too sad for those whose not granted with any kind of miracle and that's make them the UNbeliever.

OMG!

While having fun with my webcam snapping photos, this one snapshot reminds me of my childhood memories. Allow me to tell you the whole story that's if you have enough time to read.

It was before Year 1970.  My sister and brothers used to play "sungka" which is a game that I already mentioned before long time ago in another blog. So done with sungka we decided that we'll try the Quija board. You know what a Quija board right and what it looks like. If you don't know that kind of board you can research that in Google images. Of course that's a board, black board with the alphabets on it. From A to Z and with numbers. It's a small square board. We had a transparent glass (drinking glass that's empty), a sperma or candle that's been lighted. It was night time that we had this sort of game. It was dark. It was my sister who presided the game and she was holding on to that empty drinking glass. She had the mouth of the drinking glass on top of the board and had her one hand touching the bottom of the glass. The glass was placed on the middle of the board on the table and she asked us to place our hands on top of her hand. Then prayers first. We all prayed.  Then after she asked us whom we want to be in that glass, inside the empty glass. No one should reveal the name of that person whom we want to be in that glass. Few minutes later the glass started moving to the letters of the alphabet as it reveals the name. We released our hands and the empty glass started moving by itself.

Shocked and in disbelief of what's happening that moment in time ...you wont believe what  happened next.



That's how I remember the details. From then on

NO MORE QUIJA and NO MORE QUIJA BOARD!  End.

Touch Me Not!

I think it pays to watch the NEWS ON TV or listen to the radio for some good news. However people start using their computer, laptops, iPhones and text messaging never stop. It wont stop, never! People are so addicted to the text messaging as if their hands are also radio-active. I bet there are few people who are also texting even unconsciously, yeah while they were asleep and dreaming. You know that's how "electrified some nerves are." The flow of electricity act as "wired" to a given process of  "web-like structure." Notice how fast your hands can type or text within a given time limit and it flies like within seconds in sending messages. Some people don't think anymore. It's more like their hands is the ones thinking for themselves as in "touch pad' intelligence when you touch stuff or icons on a tablet and everything flips and flash automatically as you can see with your own eyes. TOUCH THIS. TOUCH THAT>

Why the book of  Dr. Jose Rizal is entitled "NOLI ME TANGERE?"  TOUCH ME NOT.  DON'T TOUCH ME. Huwag Mo Akong Salingin (Tagalog Version)

Maybe in his time he is the only ONE using the PEN and paper instead of using electronic gadgets. Maybe he is a Swiss clockmaker! Ayaw nyang mapasma ang kamay nya kasi doctor sya. He is a surgeon!  I know that's ridiculous. Unbelievable? The PAST is the FUTURE. That only means Jesus Christ and God all powerful entity in this world and beyond are very MODERN in their ways of life ala Star Trek, ala Sta Wars. It could be. Where you think your latest gadgets came from? Who do you think made them for you? There was a blueprint of all of these stuff. They were all MADE, invented before and the new generation or generation of today happened to have been copying the inventions from long time ago.

Education in BC is High Standard I just Couldn't Believe It!!!!!!!!!

The super high standard of education in British Columbia is way too much for the school children, the youth and adults of this province yet the budget is too small. Where did they go wrong? Why it's the students and parents suffering from all these problems? Are the teachers suffering too? Do we have to fork in for the much needed budget when the schools are funded publicly by the government. Meaning: Public schools are run by government fund and government officials have to do something about it.. British Columbia is one of the richest provinces in Canada so why is it we all have to suffer here when it comes to BUDGET?

I have seen the class rooms of public schools in BC and compared with other school facility they are clean and order. No problem about cleanliness and orderliness but the main problem here is the class room size which is too small for school fixtures such as tables and chairs, computer desks, cabinets, board, computer gadgets and other  equipment. There is not enough room to breathe. The Art Room should be better facilitated not to crowd the many creative artists-students who want to excel their creativity. They need a bigger space so that their cubicle can be free of annoyance from another student. There should be limited students in one room. You don't want those  electronic mouse zapping the back of another student because that's harmful radiation touching or penetrating the body of another student. There should be a board or wall separating one student from another student.  A crowded computer room is harmful when it's not in a temperate zone or absence of air condition or fan will  only ignites heat the computer. Computer is likened to heated oven that you have to remember. Then you must remember the depreciation of some electronic gadgets that are deemed obsolete and wont help the students using them. Also teachers who are responsible for the betterment of their students and who are loyal to TEACH and support the students even if they are on job action need some loyalty award and wage increase plus overtime work pay for the extra help they provide to their students. The government officials should pay respect to their cause that maybe the reason for their strike before has been misunderstood or its just that they don't have enough financial aid to keep pace with the high standard of living in Canada? Reasons we are doubtful. Is Canada a poor nation? I don't think so.

Now what? The government wants a super hi-tech, super high standard of education therefore it comes with a PRICE. BUDGET. BIGGER BUDGET is necessary to have all these students excel. And it's all up for the government of Canada to do something about this. You'll never know that these students you are investing your money are the FUTURE LEADERS and will help you with your OLD AGE PENSIONS once you're there in the Lalaland. You know...just trying to explain this in a manner  that we can all understand. In a language that is honest and straight to the point.

 Whew! How cool is that? I knew it two days ago that it's gonna SNOW today. Better late than never for the snow flakes started falling past 7pm. It's okay! Great that the children are back from school and parents arrived  from their place of work back at their comfort zone > Home.

Now you kids if you don't mind it's time to clean your mouth, your teeth and if you have sensitive gums I found this COLGATE sensitive Pro-Relief helpful. Try it.

Why There's A Need To Educate These Group Of People?

I wont tell you who they are but I think EDUCATION IS NOT ENOUGH when the only thing that they know about Coke is it's BAD! Can you look at the brighter side? Don't you have brains? What's wrong with you people? The reason why MEDICINE IS SO EXPENSIVE it's because too many are ignorant about the ingredients of any medicine or drug produced by good pharmaceutical company. When public reacts about coke is bad, it's real bad you only end up making the prescription or prescribed medicine by your doctors go up to the ceiling. Meaning it's hot commodity and you are adding up to its importance and the PRICE of medicine can go even higher. It might need rocket you know.Yup mahilig kayo sa rocket! Your making stories hard to understand as a way to graft and corruption.

Chocolates have them because it's made from the finest ingredients of madre cacao. Of course if the intake is too much it's not good for you because "that's the way it is." Anything that is too much is not good. Even oxygen intake is not applicable to you. Know why? It can make you blind. It can suffocate you. Even exposure to gas is not good. As much as possible the value of something is GREAT and productive when taken with precaution. TANGA ka ba kung sabihin ko sa iyo na sabi kasi nung isa dyan yung coke daw ay bawal dahil yung iba sa ilong ang gamit or padaan. Ha ha ha! TANGA ka ba kung sabihin ko sa iyo na ingredient yan sa anaesthesia para maoperahan ka sa ilong mo para tumangos. Hindi mo maintindihan ang medicine at bakit ingredient yan sa medicine.

This is for the same reason that we have to educate the students, the patients, the armed forces about the value of this product that I mentioned. They all should take subjects in PHARMACOLOGY, BIOLOGY, PHYSICS and CHEMISTRY. Take a subject also in Medicine just to make it clear for them what's the value, great value of medicine or drugs. There are good drugs and there are bad drug. Bad drugs are those drugs that were not approved by the Committee on Approval when it comes to QC or Quality Control.

Yun na mismo baka nakumpiska yung asbestos nyo! Bastos nyo kasi.

What am worried? When you made mistake of identifying coke from asbestos and that so called powder made from alum. Because if you made drastic mistake of identifying such commodity you are in big trouble. Made no mistake of  baby powder over napthalene powder, sugar and salt. Why I'm telling you about this? I watched a movie, Chinese movie about THE LAST EMPEROR and in that movie the Emperor's members of the family were poisoned! Disgusting! Absolutely! It's riveting and need I let you know that it's best to be very familiar with what goes to the processing of food. Yeah we need quality control staff who should see and guard that the food that we eat are safe especially if we are paying for it.

Commercial Muna. And This Is Not Funny!

 O heto mag COCA COLA ka muna! Pag barado ang esophagus mo heto ang dapat sa iyo. Ano ba ang ingredients to make Coca Cola? Don't tell me only the chemists knew about this? Well let me tell you about the "legend" of Coke.

Here it goes: Once there was a pharmacist who would like to make an ELIXIR. That elixir is supposed to be a cure for COUGH. So the project was actually to make a cough syrup because that period of time they can't find cure for common cold and cough until it reached the point to whooping cough and which is hard to cure. The cough was then progressed to TB and Cholera. Imagine? That time period? During World War I wherein the Nazis are so strict with the Immigration and they don't allow other immigrants in their country and in their "dominion." It was a long story and well the secret ingredient is still SECRET up to now.

What the pharmacist discovered a very special kind of elixir it  becomes a total phenomenon. Everyone loves it... there was this so called pandemonium.The cough syrup turned out to be the most popular beverage of all time.

 Yeah it's the real story! It's the REAL THING! That thing that can make you ALERT all the time. That thing that makes you alive. That thing that keeps you moving and do what you are supposed to do. You'll never know it might add IQ to your boring mind. lol

Really this one is good when taken just within limit. It's like coffee. It's just that it's not hot but cold. Coffee when it's winter cold and Coca Cola for hot summer days. For spring and autumn? It's really up to you.

NOBEL or NO BELL?

HABANA KUBA NA ATA AKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Feel ko pasan ko ang mundo! Grabe na. Bagal kasi ng mga "trabsaction" d2 sa lugar na ito. Hay naku! Sigh and yawn. January 11 palang feel ko hindi umuusad ang araw sa bagal ng takbo ng buhay. Okay narin para mabagal din ang pagtanda. Yun lang ang consuelo sa buhay pag dito nakatira sa malamig na lugar. Laging cool ang paligid. Minsan lang magalit ang mga tao dahil malamig ang place na ito lalo na pag may yelo, cool na cool ang paligid pati na bumbunan mo. Yun nga lang balot na balot ka naman. Buong katawan mo ay siksik ng thermal clothes, kuntodo nakasocks, pajama or sweat pants or denims , bonnet or toque sa ulo at higit sa lahat nakajacket ng makapal. Happiness is really a warm blanket. Aba tutuo nga ang sabi ni Charlie Brown. Pag malamig ang sarap ng tulog mo. Feel mo ayaw mo ng gumising parang feeling like a bear. Bearnation yan ang Canada. Bearnation hibernation. Pero sa tutuo lang hindi na masyadong malamig ang Canada. Hindi tulad ng dati na super lamig. Laging winter, laging may 2 to 4 inches of snow sa paligid. Tutuo nga ata ang global warming ni Gore. Sayang hindi na sya nagsusulat ngayon after that movie "The Inconvenient Truth." Kasi nabigyan na sya ng NOBEL PEACE AWARD. Uhm bakit ganun? Yung nabibigyan ng award na NP Award or Nobel Peace Prize ay last na yung story nila para bang STOP na...you can't write anymore. Kataka-taka di ba? Yun lang naman ang book nya di ba? Eh bakit si Ernest Hemingway nakatatlong books pa? Then si Wilbur Smith ilang ang novels nya. Ilang BOOKs nya naisulat nya. Ah kasi si Mr. Gore kasi nagsulat sya about TRUTH eh yun ang diperensya. So dapat ba pulos fiction at kasinungalingan lang ang dapat isulat? Pulos fantasy and adventure na product of imagination lang? Naka! Alam mo kasi ang KATOTOHANAN is TRUTH and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH so help them God. lol.

Did you know that stopping somebody to write esp. if the writer was BORN TO WRITE, just the word STOP is almost a death sentence!

Naku pinadalhan ako ng "Literacy sub" Tse! Hindi nya kasi maintindihan ang language ko. Taglish kasi.

Ganito yun mga iha at iho. We all know that Canada esp. British Columbia  wont be a destination of million of tourist...ONLY when you can have your beaches warm, soultry and have abundant white sand  and ideal for the sun worshipers. You know what I mean? To have better employment here in Vancouver island the ONLY solution is to OPEN the PULP MILL again. That's all that I can think of. Cancer? You don't worry about cancer. You'll die from hunger rather than from cancer. You stop the pulp mill here in Canada another country will have it and who's the loser now?

Fun in The SUN in Philippines BUT It's More Fun when the weather is mild here in Canada.

Is it more FUN in the PHILIPPINES? Well the answer is YES if you are from a well to do family, or you are RICH with a good stable decent job that pays at least P100,000/month & up. Otherwise you wont enjoy being there. But know what? despite the poverty that seemed to never end and calamity that strikes every now and then you can see people smile as if nothing bad happened to them or is it just that Filipinos are so quick to cope up with problems, trials and tribulations. That's all that I can think of how strong and courageous Filipinos in keeping themselves more at ease with every single issues catapulted at them. Their sense of humor is a plus to keep going and moving in a fast paced environment where the rich, the have and have- nots joined to tackle the many frustrations brought on by bad politics and bad economy after the Marcos regime. Don't get me wrong here, economy is better in that period and time under Martial Law. Everything is in order in Luzon and Visayan region except of course in the few regions of Mindanao. People followed the rule of Law. People know how to respect government officials. The country is not only in order but also beautiful, clean, and one of the top 5 tourist destination in the world. Philippines is at the height of the "Developing Country" not under developed nor be called Third World Country. Philippines is compared to Malaysia and Singapore when it comes to power. What happened after 1985 is simply a moment of an "invisible curtain" being pulled out like a tent from this beautiful country. But hey there is plenty of time, there are millions of Filipinos still loyal and courageous brave enough to uplift the once civilized modernized country Philippines...and it's in our hands. Only in our hands to make this home  country a better place for all of us that one day we'll all go home and build a newly revived Republic under "One GOD, under One Nation unified" in its universal language and ideals, well defined motto and goal. It's in our hands, the true Filipinos who are born in the Philippines with the sun shining through and great landmarks depicting the bravery of our land's national heroes. We are truly the hope of our Motherland, the land we adore at birth until we die. Let there'll be no other aliens who will take our land and make us slave again. Or else they'll gonna pay for what they owed.

Hmmm---weird? Nah, I'm more humorous I think. Me? The sarcastic one with all the rights to mock and face the truth if need be. Truth is better said than done. I know too many people wants to land and live in that country where they can be idle and live like Kings. Especially those aliens with fair white complexion, they are the ones feeling at home in my country. The extra attention they received from the brown inhabitants, the hospitality they received is worth being there in a country that offers warmth friendship, exotic delicious food and beverages derived and quenched from fresh fruits. The alluring azure sky, the wide open seas, the scenic mountain view. Thus, the country after all those years is rich in natural resources. How can you go thirsty? How can you go hungry? Really...that's the million dollar question.

WHAT TOURISTs & VISITORS will enjoy in PHILIPPINES:

The only reason why I use to communicate in English it's because my readers are mostly English-speaking people from different parts of the world. Kaya... O sige mahaba na ang topic na ito baka makapunta ako sa Havana, Cuba.

SLOGAN

 I don't know why Philippines and the Filipinos have problem dealing with slogan when it comes to promoting tourism. Do you think slogan has a smart way to let tourists go and visit the country? I think even if the slogan is not that cute or beautiful Philippines is always an "attraction." It's always a "magnet" to tourism and to many foreign nationals who were charmed by its exotic beauty, it's landscape beyond compare, from its beautiful beaches more beautiful than the beaches in Hawaii and Virgin Islands.

So what's wrong with the slogan above? PILIPINAS KAY GANDA is nice. It's catchy! What's really wrong according to the rumors? It was taken or copied from the slogan in Poland. Really? I don't know. Clueless here.

So why the WOW! PHILIPPINES was not the original slogan or logo? What happened? I kind of think that when people are so fed up with WOW or having the same kind of advertisement it becomes more of a nuisance.

Now here comes this slogan above. Something new? Not really according to many detractors for it was "copied" again from another country. From Switzerland. That I don't know again. Wow! It's becoming like Austin Powers eh? Austin suggesting of something new end up his invention and discovery were already been invented and "laos" na because while he was in "hibernation" all his "creations" were then made and used already by imitators and those whose got no idea whatsoever.

There are millions of people in the Philippines don't tell me there are only few who can think and invent ,  create something very new. NEW = BAGO. Then what you think about those advertisers who THINK real hard that their commercials will be something artsy fartsy and will get the attention they deserved during the World's SUPERBOWL? Of course in that five minutes of fame they make  sure that their AD is something ORIGINAL and has not been repeated in the past.

Maybe the Tourism Industry in the Philippines should state this kind of slogan:

PHILIPPINES > NOW, MORE THAN EVER! Then make a logo of the map of the Philippines. The map at the center of a globe with people hand in hand around the circle. Uhm it's easy to draw it you know.

 YOU'VE GOT TO BE IN THE PHILIPPINES!

PEARL OF THE ORIENT SEAS!

SUNshine PHILIPPINES

THE SUN ALWAYS RISES

SUNRISE IN THE EAST >>PHILIPPINES << SUNSET IN THE WEST ( The big SUN at the middle of the slogan.

Anyway does it matter whether you have a better slogan or what? What matter is how much you are earning for such advertisement. If the advertisement's fee is bigger than the returns it means it's not profitable and you should stick to just a word of mouth advertisement. Or visitors or balikbayans can provide beautiful photographs through their blogs and facebook account. That's how it goes. Nice and easy!


CLUELESS? TRY PHILIPPINES!

You Are Shallow Therefore >>>>

You are not so deep and you are so shallow therefore you are disliked by your detractors! Hmmm---not really a common issue. It is more than common actually. Politicking is simply an issue of guts and controversial manipulation of words. You can use different language and variety of words to provoke yet when people unite for the common cause that seemed only fruitful to one's group then let us see if there is worldwide unity. This is viewed and observed most of the time and the end result will show you only one thing only...is it dead or alive?

Dead news is when nobody picks it up from the get go. LIVE NEWS is great when television and radio or networks broadcast it directly the same kind of topic or news similar to your own topic. There is such significant LIFT. Without a lift then it was trashed and never seen again. However the most arrogant enthusiastic reporters will try again and again until that particular news be lifted. It wont be a "headliner" at least it was aired even just for few minutes or seconds. The most fortunate of us whose news become a sensationalized item that goes from day to day until months and even years, non-stop. The only thing is WAR should not be reported for so many years just like the IRAQ War and Desert Storm. Imagine the nerves, the gas, the tremendous dust and the psychological impairment those war have brought to the minds of those who encountered such war? Now think of those people who suffered and been victimized by World War II, the Vietnam War, the Vietnam is one of the worst ever happened as it was depicted in the movie PLATOON. Korean War is nothing as it was more like MASH TV Show where comic cons made that war nothing compared to other wars before. World War II is similar to a Volcanic explosion just louder than Mount Pinatubo. Meaning there are millions of loud mouth during World War II and TV is not in technicolors yet.

Me 2, Me 3, Metric K

I KNOW don't like to be the bearer of  bad news. But have you not learned in the past that "sorcerers and wannabe psychics love to read the future? They are not God and therefore their prediction maybe and maybe NOT true. You are the master of yourself and I am the master of myself that whatever happened in this world IT HAPPENED FOR A CERTAIN REASON.  GOD always have a purpose why things happened the way it should be. I don't like being a preacher but doomsday news are no new to me. It happened every year at the beginning of the Year or at the end of the month when payday and payback comes. What more for those whose income tax they have to pay for this year? That's what it is, psychologically the economy seemed to be flat when they heard of filing income tax returns. They want to change the way economy is by playing or causing havoc politically. And who are the messenger? I hope not the media people > the press: newspapers, television, network and those technocrats. So use your caution in reporting such negativity. Who will  be affected with the turmoil? All of us? Is that a good warning? So THINK, THINK, THINK before you ACT.

Just A Warning!

There's a story of  two young innovators of the world computer. They made it so big in the computer world. Everyone loved them for their innovation, creative work until they end up being rich and until they can no longer get out from that kind of superficial world. They got "burned." The other one died already!  Literally. Yeah that's the word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too much technology when it's TOO MUCH can burn your face, body including your soul. So pls. limit your focus. Don't face your computer, laptop and tech gadgets almost everyday. Or you'll be one of the casualty of solar flares and CANCER!
