Appreciate What You Have

It's one of those days that I missed and craved pancit habhab or pancit canton. I don't have the right ingredients for habhab. What's available are cattelli's pasta similar to angelhair pasta which is just okay for alternative noodles. I have few portions of shrimps and few seafood: small portions (seafood medley) of sliced squid, clams, octopus, scallops and mussels plus  pork. Whatever! The most important in cooking pancit is not the supposedly right ingredients preferred by cook but consider the alternative is not that bad either and importantly, it's the taste, the flavour of the food that is perfectly edible for human consumption. I cooked pancit noodles just to finalize the cravings and my family loves it.



What the hell, who am I kidding? Yesterday, I watched a movie that is so weird and it has its impact on how we appreciate the value of anything that we used to take for granted.

First the movie WORLD WAR Z, tackles about the grim revelation of the undead called zombies. In this movie starring Brad Pitt in his role as the United Nations investigator or a representative named Gerry Lane, to investigate the Post War events in countries where there were an outbreak of such magnitude leading to the outbreak in the U.S. The first scene, the UN investigator together with his family was having breakfast then followed with their travel to the downtown urban area and suddenly chaotic panic erupted causing massive pandemonium of violence and outrageous stampede. Their family was stuck in urban gridlock. The zombies all of a sudden appeared and they all terrified trying to escape. Oh well you know what happened in an apocalyptic horror drama, action movie eh? Running around, screaming, crying non-stop, total shock, driving aimlessly nowhere to go. Investigations upon investigation, travel to South Korea, to Israel to find out the truth about the outbreak and until the investigation leads to the door at the W.H.O. with the help from Segen ( the female Israelite Army) where some scientists are infected with the virus. At least in this movie they found the serum to reverse the effect of virus infecting most of the people.

In the longest running TWD or WALKING DEAD, no serum or cure for the zombies or walkers. Episode: "The same Boat", Maggie and Carol were held hostage by female Saviours and they were taken to the Kill Room, rather Kill Floor. They (Carol and Maggie) were tied with maskin tape on both legs and tied masking tape wrapped around their hands and their mouths were also covered with scarves tied (gagged) around their head which made Carol unable to breathe properly. In this episode, Carol was remorseful, crying and scared. The hostage-takers: Paula, Molly (who probably is suffering from tuberculosis or emphysema), Michelle are unremorseful but they do a lot of talking, whether they are Saviours or killers we don't really know because Maggie and Carol were able to untie themselves, killed them first in the most violent way. Carol is becoming softie holding on to rosary at first then smoking cigarette? Carol (Melissa McBride) should receive "Best actress award for KILLING ROOM."

This morning, KILLING FIELDS the movie is on our TV Channel. It was a true war story that happened in Cambodia. News reporter-journalists were held hostage by the communists and had endured torture and inhumane acts of atrocities which are also violation of human rights. In this movie, the dead bodies floating on water and submerged on the fields are so unbelievable but it did happened. The communists killed entirely all the educated people in their land. It is something that we can't comprehend in times of war simply no one can't comprehend that who are the true enemies in times of war when famine, poverty, millions of people are hungry and thirsty , when people are so hungry and there's no food, nothing to eat, nowhere to find food what do you think will happen?

Look at those zombies? Maybe they are hungry at first. They were starved for food. Then nobody feeds them then they become flesh eaters. They become cannibals. Are cannibals real? There are cannibals in other parts of the world and they are not science-fiction! Zombies are cannibals. Idi Amin, the Somalian brutal killer and flesh eater was a cannibal. He used to eat his enemies. Don't worry he's no longer around.

Keep on planting. Keep on fishing. Keep on raising livestocks. It's great to be a farmer. God loves the farmers, fishermen and shepherds these people are highly intelligent human beings because they feed the people. Isaac Newton was scientist- physicist and he was a farmer and so many farmers are meteorologists they knew the weather better than the meteorologists of today. Most of the American inventors are mostly farmers and fishermen. Don't insult their occupation and work because they are smart.
