TV Entertainment

Wow! Finally my daughter Tam moved over idolizing such TV stars whose popular shows are mostly replays. I hate to say that. Blah-blah but because we pay too much for out television connection and if everyday you watch replays then it feels you're being ripped off.

Then last week I noticed that she likes watching TV show "Mr. Young." Who is Mr. Young? I first thought he is a Chinese. Nope he is not. Curiosity led me to watch it too. It was a goody-goody wholesome story of high school students of Finnegan High School. Mr. Young is Adam Young, the actor Brendan Meyer's role of  a young genius and worked as a teacher in Finnegan H. S. It was a comedy series. Adam has a crush on one of the cast of characters named Echo ( Matreya Fedor). Their High School love, comedy, series evolved with other students in the school. There are numerous science or laboratory experiments, history and literature. This is the type or theme that should be applied for teens to watch so that they are inspired with the "setting" of how school should be administered. Well it's only a TV entertainment so for every cause there is always an equal and opposite reaction. Every cause is answered before the episode ends. It's for entertainment purposes. The show is clean, fun and witty.

Other actors and actresses in this television series are: Emily Tennant ( Adam's sister), Gig Morton (Adam's bestfriend), Kurt oslund ( the school bully), Milo Shandel (Principal George Tater).

I know it's summertime the show must end it's final season just like the popular action, drama, historically detailed TV show TURN (Jamie Bell) but what else to watch now when boredom sets in.

 You can watch MASTERCHEF if you like baking and cooking. Watch for yourself all the drama and deception plus the rapid fire reality sharp words being uttered by each contestant and judges of this culinary show. You wont fall asleep watching how they cook and the intensity of competition makes you aware that COOKING & BAKING is not for the ordinary common men. You have to be intelligent, talented and full of ideas to be a Chef. My son Cade should watch this television show because he likes cooking his own food and when suddenly he is turning "vegan" the more he should watch this or at least take Culinary Arts and Science into his own hands.

Lame?

Oh, well wait for 4th of July because the most terrifying TV show on earth is coming soon. "Walking Dead" series will be aired once again to shock your senses.

Happy Grad. 2014!

 After an unforgettable remarkable Graduation ceremony  and eloquent speech from the North Island College President John Bowman  which the Graduating Class of 2014 will always remember, and the piper's entrance to the theater were something to be proud of plus of course the award presentation for the fortunate smart students who excelled in their chosen degree and field of study. The presentation of certificates and diplomas to the Grads.  on the stage, etc, etc. My story is not in chronological order it's how I remember the importance of each segment.

Refreshment followed at the lobby and that's the only time that we're able to take photographs with my niece Clarizze who was overjoyed and almost everyone would like to be with her for the photo-ops. The picture above she was seen with her parents: My sister Imelda and brother-in-law Romy.


 I asked my sister to take photographs of me and my niece but she doesn't know where the button is then suddenly she was approached by somebody else. They all want to congratulate her. I asked my husband to take a snapshot instead. So here how it goes...

 
 I took a photo of her and my son Tyrel while her friends waited for their turn to be photographed.


Too many people at the lobby. It's kind of over- crowding the area. Everyone's talking too and  almost at the same time. Her friends and classmate came to shake hands with her, hugged her and congratulate her. Happy moments? You bet everyone's happy. I bet Clarizze is the happiest of them all. Another nurse in the family. CONGRATULATIONS! Best wishes and Good luck!


At my Sister's house: Lucky for her that she was given by her Papa and Mama  small gatherings but the food ... so much food. In abundance of food.


My sister was so busy here for dinner to start. It was already past 6 pm and she thought everybody's hungry.

 
 Singing and dancing? Singing only. But if you want to dance you can. It's really up to you. lol.
My daughter Tamara would always prefer to play the guitar.


It's the Mother and daughter team here at their beautiful garden and look how happy they are. They should sing William Pharell's "Happy Song."


More friends at Clarizze's side. Great for her. That's what friends are for. Do you know?


Gorgeous photos here and there and more views at the garden. My sister is with Linda Roz.

 
 Here I am again at the garden with Linda. Do I have to sing (( Ever, and ever greennnnnnn))))  I don't know if I should post this photo because I looked overweight. Anyway, who cares?!


 
I love the way I look. I'm fat and I'm happy. There's nothing wrong with being happy. Nothing can go wrong by being right.

Mesmerized By the Summer Heat Wave

There are so many important memories that happened today, June 24, 2014 A lot of happenings, a lot to remember, time well spent. I will savor the moments first and foremost and let it go by.

However, I cannot let this pass by. How about this stunning picturesque of sunset. The sun goes down finally at 9:43 pm. I wish it's about 9:24 pm instead but you know there's no golden sunset here except if probably if we go to Saharan desert. By the way they don't have this kind of unique sunset where I live. Ha ha ! If you know what I mean.

I was invited by my niece Clarizze on her Graduation ceremony (Commencement Exercises) at Tidemark. Although I have so many things to do at home and the tasks, chores should be halt for few hours and why not it's time to relax and breathe and what could be happening at the downtown area, at the Tidemark (once the first local cinema of Campbell River). My husband is reminded how old that moviehouse is. He said that he went there to watch a movie in 1960. When I first arrived here in 1992 Campbell River, Tidemark is still the cinema I know and beside the building is the local Chinese restaurant. Along with the oldest North Island College where I took few  hours of "Food Safe Course." There, I also took exam and passed with flying colors. Our instructor was also a professional Chef and his life story about his career is somewhat colorful and funny. Great to know that he's got sense of humor. I like people with great sense of humor. You wont grow old when you are around people who knows how to laugh.

There was a traffic jam along the commercial area at Shoppers Row. There were too many shoppers browsing coming in and out of the Trading Post owned by Bill. It was a super busy day, abnormally busy. Wow! I first thought we wont have a vacant parking space at Tyee Plaza. I told my husband we can park at the Art Gallery but the parking hour wont be enough. Anyway, you don't have to pay parking space by the hour here in Campbell River. Thank goodness it's not the mainland here. Imagine how crazy would it be.

Ngek! We arrived late! No we are not late. It's just that the Graduate students wearing cap and gowns are still there outside of the lobby at Tidemark. Then the lady courteoulsy asked us to enter the door at the right. Then I saw my niece. Oh my! people are looking at us. We're late and it makes me cringe feeling ashamed. Meron ba ako non? Feeling shy and ashamed, namumula ang face ko. My husband Lorne and son Tyrel found empty seats at the right side of the theatre. I followed them. I was not seated firmly on the cushioned seat when a lady asked me and my husband and son to move to another seat at the back because there is that number 8 intended for Grad. students. So we moved to the back with a sign STOPS HERE in big bold black letter on white bond. Really? What's that supposed to mean? Truly sweet stops? Ahahahaha!


NOTE: Did you know that there was once a SWEET STOP Shop at the Shoppers Row (rather at Tyee Plaza) before where the owner sells chocolate fudge and delicious ice cream. Twenty years ago they had that sweet's shop but that unit is now occupied by Shopper's Drug Mart (Pharmacy). SWEET STOP and FIELDS Department Store. There are a lot of changes at Tyee Plaza and Shoppers Row. Many stores closed down and replaced with new stores and boutiques to cater to their new customers.  Many pioneers moved out of the city and there are new arrivals of new faces and immigrants.


My God! Everyone's so quiet waiting for the ceremony to begin. Then few minutes more, the lady announced the opening speech, we sang the national anthem of Canada... "Oh Canada, our Home and native land ... " (Oy memorized ko yan kahit hindi ako Canadian). I think of Canada as the Mountain Province which is the upper northern part of the Philippines, where the natives of the Philippines communicate in English language rather than Tagalog.

Hundred years! How many changes that took place in the Himalayan Mountain ranges and you'll be amazed by reading the many gradual changes during the century by reading the historical data and story in the archive of National Geographic magazine. Unbelievable but it's true. Canada belongs to Philippines.

Oops don't want you to have a revolution. Be civilized.

To be continued. :: :: ::

Charity Begins At Home

There is nothing wrong with charity especially the good ones that really help those who really need the help in the truest sense but if charity becomes like the freaky stalkers stalking every hour, every minute of your personal life asking for donations every month, every year it becomes annoying, irritating and most of all it made you think if those charitable organizations are legal, legitimate or just sort of mafia becoming extortionists. Don't get me wrong here but if you are soliciting donations almost everyday that's absurd, strange and illegal. It's no longer good and besides it's the police authority trying to stop victims from being victimized again.  LEARN THE LESSON that teach you to being AWARE. Awareness is the key.

You can help maybe if you are RICH and you have enough to give. If you will give and donate then after while you end up running empty then that's wrong. However those who are paying the loopholes because they can't pay taxes it's up for the GOVERNMENT AGENCY to mind their business. Government agency do not have to act as extortionist either.

Remember CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME!

Help your own family.

Help your nearest close relatives who are in dire need of your help.

Solicitation prohibited

Just to let everyone know that I don't have any responsibility nor I have NO affiliation with Ms. Meredith Turner. I don't know her personally and haven't met her yet. She emailed me in year 2013 and I didn't respond to her email since then. I'm not affiliated with the Farm Sanctuary and I'm not connected to any charity.

To those who never stop the solicitation please stop pestering me and my family with the solicitation through many numerous phone calls at my home. Whoever they are with unknown numbers and unknown names please STOP bothering us with your SOLICITATION.

There'll be a new LAW coming to stop the unlawful solicitation from anonymous and unknown callers and whether they are legitimate agencies still they have to face legal actions if they don't stop from their unlawful acts of violating the privacy of good person, people like me.

Concerned About Profile Stats View or Points?

I have one of those intriguing questions of "WHY I have such a high number of profile views or stats when she cannot see any comments on commentary box?"

Or I can be bitchy and quickly answered why do I need spam?

Great question! Wow! What an inquiry. Here's the clue: Maybe it's an error code again.

No really why I have people looking at my blog and think are they interested on my blogs? Maybe. There are thousands of blogs here at Blogger or Blogpot.com. Look at the Profile view format and there are some of the question fill up thingy that might be the focus of your attention like the movies I like or the books I like to read. Anybody from the same Blogger site may click one of those favorites of mine and then happen to click one particular popular movie and that leads to the many Blogwriters who love that particular movie and you might see my name and that's how it happened that somebody gets curious and clicked my profile and that automatically leads to Profile view counting 1 then if you click and click then it might add more numbers to the views.

I hate to explain that thing again it's kind of boring. Then you click and move on to my blog story. You read my whole blog from year 2007 up to year 2014, I know there are people who are so intrigued so they end up reading everyday and out of curiousity with their frequent mile high droning at my blog I can no longer log in because it becomes busy for sometime I don't know what happened to my blogs. It turned out some spam bots got in the way and filled up my space with their tele-marketing idea and promo. That they also end up establishing their entire promo-advertisement in my email address box. One time I tried to just open the commentary box so that they wont email me but everytime I opened it there is somebody closing it. WHO? I don't know. That's the mystery here at Blogger and Google. It is also the mystery at Facebook.

The most shocking alien space invader in one of my blogs is that of the "photobomber." Shocking! I end up screaming and yelling at the top of my lungs. I asked my husband and my children to look at it and identify the photobomber whoever is that guy who suddenly appeared in my photo. A photograph that my daughter took of me using Canon digital camera. I have the original photo without the photobomber. However when I posted it on one of my blog it was taken by that stupid thief and then posted on commentary box for everyone to see. It was terrifying. Crazy! Well at least it's not a ghost or something. But his scary image is more that of a lunatic "The Shining image." Very frightening indeed! It could be that he wants to overtake the role of The Shining star Jack Nicholson.

Please care to watch INSIDIOUS. Their maze is somewhat different. Only when you are bored to death. Just to scare yourself.
