Grabe! I was surprise to see so much emails flooding my email box. Not that a good thing to see early morning. There are only few emails worthy of reading and the rest of the messages are sort of crap. Pardon me with the terminology. CRAP! If its cheezewhiz by kraft it's okay ahahhaha. So what's up with me this time of the year is well hoping for a bright beautiful summer. I know and aware that summer is almost about over in asian countries and they will be receiving lots of rain. So while they are waiting for rainy season I was waiting for the blossoms. White dainty cherry blossoms blosssomed radiantly in other parts of Canada however the bright pink cherry blossoms will soon bloom in May. Maple trees have its fresh green buds and day by day as I watch these trees and its branches more young buds sprout unto another. Noticed that these maple tree young buds are almost similar to cherry blossoms. They are probably in the same "tree classification of species." Also not to mention the narra tree. Our neighbor has this small tree that looks like a willow tree with drooping branches spread like an umbrella. It was magnificent. Cute and adorable that whenever I open my door that's the first thing I see. What kind of tree is that? It was last year that made me think it was a willow tree because it's just like that with all the characteristic of a willow. Green leaves with a whiplike branches. Then this time of the year I was so amazed that it couldn't be a willow, it's a rare cherry blossom dwarf tree probably 4 feet in height. The owner probably trimmed it first like a bonsai and then got fed up and let it grown to a pleasing height so that it will bloom to its perfection. So now it's a rare dwarf cherry blossoms with purplish or lilac color flower that looks so charming to the eyes. Weird? The color! Color compared to a lilac. Yeah I have to confuse the readers on how you understand "comparison." VISION ...your EYES is the most important asset on your face aside from your-------?

Changes of Apps for Blogger

The Google Blogger has changed. The post setting is "bigger and wider." More apps to do and review. Great for blog-writers whose vision are impaired.

Why when updating and upgrading is not necessary. Why when changes in something that works need no fixing? What's the point of this changes? When almost everything here is already perfect?

Why? When imperfection is the new trend? When there is imperfection there is graft and corruption? Hmm, probably giving a chance to those would be "creator of a new trend." So that you'll lose something from the moving. So that they will earn something? Or too many are bored with the old setting?

It was okay as it is before. What's the problem before is conflicting views about people who wants to suck and suckers for new changes that will gratify their own motives and ambition.

Who knows? Everyone is ambitious. Everyone wants to seek perfection in their own way. Let us see what this new change will bring us. It's always been the blame is after or at the end of it all.

It's like going to the supermarket wherein you have to spend a lot of time finding where the items and products you usually see in the usual corner of the cabinet or cupboard. Seeking, searching for the products you bought and then placed it in the usual place and then found them placed in another cupboard s or cabinet (shelves) ten feet away. So it's always been familiarity. Getting lost in a blogging community is somewhat peculiar. It happened twice already for so many of us when the original app was changed into choosing a new setting designed by iStock. Here do we have to be at lost again? Most of the bloggers are middle-aged people, mostly educators and writers. No one blogs here aged 15 years of age and below. How can they? Do they have time for that? When they all are busy with Facebook, texting and playing...oh they are busy with their studies too...I hope.

All we can do is HOPE. After all too many are sick here. Too many sick people and with disability. For others to manipulate their way is like inflicting injury to these old people like me.

What's all this HACKING business? I tried to find out for myself. I read old books. I had my encyclopedia in my bookcase and hacking seemed to be a "fad." The hackers get the credit for hacking information and they were given "badge." It is unprofessional. It is bad! Why they have to continue such game? Well probably due to the fact that "hacking was popularized by the guy in the movie "War Games." You can see the story thr. the net or from old magazines and from Encyclopedia Britannica. Even NORAD is part of that system. Hacking is for kids no doubt about that. Is that good for old people? I don't think so.

Old people hacking the system is crazy. For what?

Later on I realized people keep hacking a system when their computer is not in compatible with the order of command of another computer.

Or you are using a low grade brand computer with a bandwith that is lesser in comparison with other computers. You have firewall and many anti-spywares. You are connected to an internet provider that doesn't want being connected with your provider. I have firewall that you wont be able to penetrate and that's were the hacking is alarmed. The hackers got mad and sent virus and bugs to dismantle my connection. This also happens when the computer windows of that user is Windows 98 ( I know for a fact that some people are still using Windows 98 up to now). So the hackers keep hacking info because their computer are equipped with Windows XP not Windows 7.

You are going up to the speed of light and they cannot progress and develop their skills because you are there in the stratosphere. Hmm, that sounds too good to be true!

Then you have pop-ups with the add -ons click or upgrade to Windows explorer 9 when your computer is equipped with Explorer 8. That's a hack. You cannot modify a computer of its inside hardware and that's one of the problems you'll encounter. That I have to remind myself.

Mozilla, explorer, what else?

Problem with you hacking the system of my computer? You will have problem with the weather. SEE have to warn you.

There are times that I'm trying to control myself from hatred and bigotry. Sometimes being here in the internetworld seemed suffocating especially when there are too many hackers who are incredibly so fakey and plastic and moreover sadistic and unethical when it comes to their prsence in the networld most especially at Facebook. Facebook is the social network that seems to me hard to control. It is a social network wherein Mr. Zuckerberg has a huge problem. Microsoft had that problem before. Too many hackers in his own company. They have chatroom relay too for the autistics or people with disability and what happened is it was "lock" down for no apparent reason and after that Yahoo came into the rescue. However Yahoo chat room was also infiltrated by bad elements and now also gone. The chat rooms are no longer free and those who are benefitting from its source of data moved on to Yahoo 360 blog. Then it was closed down due to many problems also from other bad elements again. What I hope and wish for is that Blogger Google and Blogspot wont have problem just like the problems in those once popular websites.

Thank goodness that Blogger has better way to conquer such evil. Yeah it's true they hate EVIL. They have a doctrine. Besides Google is run by ____________! The Secrets!

Let me assume that it's for the best that my Google information and blogs are safe and secured here. Besides the powers that be here at Google knows best from the early stage and they are good at providing information without hurting others. In other words their PHILOSOPHY is just the same as my own Philosophy.

How To Quit?

Then another story which I would like to share, actually story of a movie of Ella Enchanted (lol) that's how I would like to call her, the actress portraying the neophyte clerk in the movie "The Devil Wears Prada." Imagine if you are in her shoes walking in a metropolitan suburb conglomerate building where the "alta sociedad" reign and glamour is at its height. You being the nerdy and geeky type of a newly-grad thought the interview would be something like "formal" as what you envisioned during your college years. Well those years are over! It's totally different situation now. The "scene" is not that too formal. Probably there will be no written exams. Probably no viewing of certification or accreditation that you graduated from a prestigious university. It would be simple representation of yourself, appearance, and how you manage to answer questions.

In that movie, the middle-aged actress looked at her from down to her toes to what she is wearing. Her attire seemed old fashioned. The employer is a socialite whose fashion sense is well, over the top. Let have it in a short story or gist, Ella was accepted simply because the "secretary" was overwhelmed with capricious orders here there and everywhere by the "matriach of honor." She needs an assistant too. They really need an "errand girl." Somebody who can do the job faster and without a doubt an errand to the many loops of the company like somebody who can manipulate trends and what else? That you can find out if you'll watch the whole movie, the whole picture.

In the end, they should hire somebody not pretty. They should hire a man instead with a motorcycle. Ha ha ha ha! Ella should have been wearing denim pants or cargo pants and t-shirts. You know her job requires masculinity. Figure that out. It's more like she was "used and being used" and she used them too? Eh?

On top of that, she was able to be on the top, perhaps on wearing glamour clothing and accessories. QWearing trendy fashionable brand name clothing fit for models and supermodels for FREE! Courtesy of the fashion designer. In real world who can afford the price tag of those fashion designer clothes, shoes and bags? Not unless you are a movie actress, models or close friends of the designer. Or the wealthy affluent people who can afford the high price of fame and all its glitters.

Sometimes in that circle, that CIRCLE of high society meant only for the rich and powerful, the influential people who have it and who patronize their own CONSPIRACY.

In other words true to its context that to be with the circle of friends you have to act and be with their inner goal, intention, motive and what they believe in. If your own ideology and  doctrine doesn't go with the circle or group then it's time to quit.

I should have not asked my niece about her plan after she graduated from College. Like her cousins who also preferred to be a nurse. This is a 4 year university course including internship at the hospital where the university wants the nursing-intern to do their internship. It is somewhat affiliated by common grounds and means and or capacity to handle the students taking the provided internship before graduation. It is mandatory and a completion of task, meaning pre-requisite. Nursing degree. With a Diploma in Bachelor of Science major in Nursing. How many students now in the Philippines who are graduates of this Nursing Degree? As far as I remember it was the number one university course aside from BS in Engineering. These two college courses are very much in demand. Time goes by and still is the demand is so high. That's if you're lucky enough to pass the Board Exam administered by the government and or the Department of Education. I think somehow there are accredited Exam. Board for eligible applicants for those Nursing grads. I'm not sure about this but this is administered through the help of foreign sectors. I think. See I'm not sure. Just heard about this news. That was long time ago though. I don't know if there is such thing really in the true sense of outsourcing. Yes it was in-demand before. Would it be in demand after millions of students already are Nursing grads and not able to find employment in their own country? That's the question. So many of them seek employment in the USA, European countries and in the Middle East. The hard facts of life is that you maybe a Nursing grad and have all the credentials and validation of your studies and experience yet once you get the employment in those foreign countries I mentioned your job is not what you think it is. There is always bias. There is always unfairness in treatment of the Graduates in Philippines no matter how good and proficient and effective workers they are. Let this be a warning to all the would be workers who would like to migrate to other countries. That what you think of being employed in another country is an assurance that what you are getting into is the one you are expecting. The career that you wished for such very long years is not the career that you have to acquire perse. Truth is better not to expect or have false hope. Don't be too ambitious. You can have your ambitions to help you push forward and think optimistically that there is a season and time to choose the right way. Working abroad is great, yeah that's what others have in mind and others hope for. More money, less happiness. ? ?  But working in your own hometown and country is better?   I know for one thing, a sister-in law would rather work as a nurse in the US rather than here in Canada. Then a successful nurse in New Jersey moved to Philippines because she thought she deserved some kind of respect in her chosen profession. RESPECT. Uhm that word is strange. What kind of treatment she received in the US? She moved back, returned to Philippines to be a nurse. And all the right reasons flow like water along the river.

To CATCH an oyster? It should be to HARVEST an oyster. What's happening here at Blogger is just the same as harvesting oyster. Almost similar procedure. Whose blog they need to harvest? That I don't have a clue. Clueless here.

Aha Moment

I think my blogs especially THE CONSCIOUS MIND has a hacker. My blog is being hacked! How can this be happening? I was uploading the photographs and I can see from the monitor screen that those photos are being moved. What a BS! The TCM wont accept the photos. The robots are manipulating my computer.

There are too many hackers and too many thieves nowadays.

A while ago I had a telephone conversation with my Mother and she complained about people going in and out of their house. Their new cellphone was stolen including their hen. That's why all the windows and gates in their home are covered with steel and iron bars. That's right their house looks more like a pawnshop with guard rails all over their windows. Their gate and fence have guard rails now too.

Too many thieves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTH is that? What is happening with our world?

This is the second time that these thieves whoever they are had stolen some stuff from them. I have a good Mother and a good Father and they will do something nasty? They allow these people to fetch water from their artesian well pump for free so that they can have drinking water and this is what they have to do in return? What's wrong with those people?

Now take note of this also. Husband went fishing early morning together with his brother-in law. They dropped the prawn and crab traps on the spot where they thought they can catch  crabs. After five hours they returned only then they knew thieves already had them feasting on it. What the heck!

Anyway, it was fortunate of them to have big oysters and five big prawns. Each prawn measures at least 6.5 inches. Oyster measures 7 to 8 inches a piece. Sadly, one is allowed to have 15 pcs. of oysters. And not to forget you should have a license to catch fresh oysters.

Black Saturday Message

Finally my sister uploaded and posted the photographs she snapshots during her vacation in the province. I was excited to see the new house that my parents built for themselves. Having been retired, both  as government employees: my Mother as a hospital worker and my Father a military veteran and then chief clerk for the administrative department also at the same hospital where my Mother worked. My very loving parents worked so hard to raise all their six children and provide them the basic necessities to live and survive. I remember they would rather not buy anything for themselves just to send all of us, my brothers and sister to school. They would rather not spend their money on shoes and clothes or bags or any other accessories for themselves but have the money > their earnings for our education, food, clothing...It's all for their children. It was a crucial sufferings on their part. Education is the main priority in every household and every family in the Philippines and my parents so devoted with their family have the same ideology.

Filipinos, the true Filipinos care for their own family in a very special way. They don't care much about the "looks" of the house or the yard. They care more about  EDUCATION. Big priority of sending their kids to schools no matter how expensive their tuition fees, the requirements maybe too overbearing but at least every child is not left behind. Besides, that's how the social status is being looked at in the Philippines be of education, social status, diploma and certification. The overall achievements of one's person and identity as each and every one is known for, the educational attainment. The higher the educational achievement, the higher the recognition and respect. The higher their employment position or level, status quo, higher skills and higher gratification in rewards and awards.

That was the total IQ points. That's total achievement requirement during the heydays until the government of _____________ slapped everyone who are educated, who are higher than him when it comes to educational attainment. The Supreme Court and its officials are being downgraded and disrespected. With no respect for the law and without shame all of us are included in that SHAME, SHAME act of imPEACHment. It is a CRIME to be RICH and WEALTHY. It's more like a personal vendetta that if you are richer and wealthier than him then you are put to shame. If you are more prosperous than the President of the Philippines then you are a criminal. For he himself was accused of wrongdoing and also not allowed to have a Porsche car. How's that to you? It's just a Porsche! Too many unemployed in Canada and USA yet millions of them have Porsche and they can even afford BMW and Mercedes Benz. Ordinary people in other countries can afford expensive cars. If a President cannot afford a Porsche then you'll ask why so many people now in Philippines have luxury cars? So we'll just have the foreigners to be richer than you are because you want to be their followers, always asking for alms. When it should be the other way around. I think you people over there are selling the land of the Philippines too cheap for their comfort!

So who wants to be educated and who wants to be in prosperity? Who would like to be in the Philippines and flaunt richness beyond any doubt? If being wealthy is a crime and being educated is also a crime what else we need to do? Be lazy and sit all day doing NOTHING.

Holy Week Festivity

How I remember the HOLY WEEK in the Philippines. I don't know why when it's time for the Lent Season the scorching heat of the sun is very evident. Even if you are not a participant for the penitencia still is you'll suffer because it was really hot, the hottest days on planet earth. Actually only in the Philippines. You may wonder why as I questioned that long time ago. It is the most busiest days in the Philippines because of millions of tourists who flocked the province to join and see the Lent celebration. It was in the province in the Northern part of the Philippines where long processions are held. It was in that region where so many devotees of the "flagella" flogging the most devoted religious men who whip their back, hands and legs with whip-like thorns that hit their bodies as they parade on the roads and streets in their city. Self-inflict injury just like the albino inflicting harm on his body as you've seen in the movie "Da Vinci Code." They parade around the city and towns showing their bloody human bodies for everyone to see. Blood, sweat and tears whipping their ravaged bodies. People watched with such awe and wonder their eyes wide open yet they cannot stop their show of suffering. It's their choice.Why inflict injury into themselves? Why suffer such ordeal? Why the need to do this kind of suffering every year?

Religious devotion, so much faith instilled in their minds and heart that whatever sins they had committed will be forgiven in the eyes of the many people and most especially in the eyes of God. That their lives will be a lot better and be rewarded because of their own commitment to serve the Lord. In so doing that the Lord Jesus Christ suffered on the cross then it's turn for them to feel the same kind of punishment hoping that they will be saved from their sins if there's any. What kind of sin? That we don't know but every year they will do it again.

Is it for the tourism industry? Of course such Holy Week Festival is more than common during this kind of festivity. Huge tourism business bloom. It is part of the Filipino heritage, rich culture and tradition. There are provinces in the Philippines who offered such Semana Santa with the readings and singing of the Passion Book, the colorful parade,  the zarzuela passion drama on stage complete with the Roman costume. The complete whole relay messages of what's inside the Bible, the 7 last messages of Jesus Christ before He died. And it never stop there. Black Saturday and EASTER SUNDAY ... more celebrations are held. You'll have to wake up at dawn to prepare for the coming of Christ. More galant and epic performance of the Church devotees dressed as angels and shepherds waiting for Jesus Christ's return to Earth. After that mass at the Church, humongous feast of delicious food awaits the families in their homes.

You think Jesus Christ returned to Earth?

For the believers they BELIEVEd.

For the Skeptics? They keep waiting and searching.

Every year they have to find ways, check for miracles.

That's what mankind is looking for ---MIRACLES!

Be Responsible!

Husband 's planning to trim the lawn today only to find out that there are lots of poopies on the yard. This is something we have to remind people who owned dogs and cats that if they cannot handle or care for their pets should not have any pet at all.

That every pet owner should be able to pick up the "dirt" from the yard or when they "pasture" their pets especially their dogs should have with them a disposable plastic bag, gloves and a shovel to pick up the mess those pets have dumped on the ground especially on beautiful green bermuda grass.

Please pet owners have the decency and courtesy and duty to clean up your pet's mess. Or we'll report to the Pet Authority to just have your pet be taken away from you.

Thank you!
