Happy New Year 2023!!! Hope to find time this year to get back to blogging😞

The world is in turmoil with the war in Ukraine getting me worried it could escalate into a catatrophic nuke war. Hopefully not!

Nevertheless, i remain very optimistic this year will gonna be good.

Crossing my finger tho.

 TRUMP - A LANDSLIDE WINNER

There is definitely a similarity between Trump and Duterte. Both work with honest and sincere commitments to the people and platforms that capapulted them to their elected positions. 

Both are being demonized too by their respective oppositions and Mainstream Media. Trump has been treacherously investigated for Russian collusion by Obama and Hillary Clinton using govt machinery of the FBI and other govt agencies. This has been recently proven false and malicious.

Duterte meanwhile was a subject of human rights investigation by the Senate Oppositions which was proven to be false too. Two yrs into his presidency, the oppositions in conspire with the media and foreign liberals continued to throw allegations and fake news to malign him.

But both Presidents have worked for the benefits of its people and shown good results never delivered by their enemies. Hence, both become popular and loved by its people.

Trump will definitely win by landslide aided by the stupidity of the Liberal Leftist Dems advocating riots, lootings, burnings and violence. They hope that by the resulting chaos, people will blame the Potus. But the people and even most of their supporters saw through their tactics. They are now voting for Trump.

Duterte shall have completed his term in 2022 with recent Pulse Asia Survey showing a Trust Rating of 91%, a rating all world's leaders are salivating to even come close. He has done so much what all previous presidents combined HAS NEVER DONE!

This parallelity will endear them dearly to their people and in history, a legacy that will never be forgotten and will serve as BENCHMARKS for future leaders.

The Parallelity of US Potus and PH DU30 

They got elected unexpectedly and for same reasons...people are fed up with big issues like drugs, disinformations of MM, corruptions, etc. The only thing that separates them is the immigration in the US. Potus wanted to shut illegal immigrants and build walls to keep them out.

Ill finish this later.

Impact Assessment of Corona Virus

At this point, it may not seem very serious but the fall of the oil futures yesterday revealed that the world and mankind in particular is stepping into the most precarious unknown. Many governments may go banckrupt unable to keep going in its functions. Many lives too will get dislocated and marginalized never before experienced since WW2.

Many disruptions will occur: Disruptions in foodchain, supply and distribution, production, financing, existing contracts, manufacturing, tax collections, etc....those essentials in living a normal life.

The basic essentials will become so scarce that food riots may occur and chaos will prevail. Only when an equilibrium in supply and demand that this anarchical situation will normalize.

My recommendation therefore for all Pinoys to make all vacant spaces available for planting to staple crops. AND IT SHOULD BEGIN NOW THAT EXISTING FOOD INVENTORY HAS NOT YET BEEN DEPLETED. This is the only way this country will survive this catastrophe!!!

PLANT! PLANT! PLANT! NOW NOW NOW!

As if the virus isnt worst enough to deal the world a fatal blow, here comes the proverbial line "nail on the coffin" that sets the global economy tumbling to the abyss. Whether we're gonna recover...GOD HELP US!

Oil Futures in last night trading crash-dived to the lowest never experienced since 1946, the last time oil was under 10 dollars a barrel. It looks like its a prelude to the "everything bubble" Mike Mahoney calls it.

Actually, the crash was triggered by the CVirus which sent almost all countries infected with it, to initiate quarantines and lockdown on almost all economic activities. Of course, the curtailment of movements of people and business activities impacted on oil consumption. 

With less demand, supply's got to suffer. This glut in the market is nowhere to be stored. This is the problem that precipitated the crash. I have known that shutting down production is much costlier than continuing, Besides, too many people are dependent on their living on oil, Hence, the lesser evil to keep pumping. The end result was oil nosedived to -40$ per barrel. 

What are its ramifications? I think your guess is as good as mine.  I however warn anyone to protect their wealth because of this impending catastrophic meltdown. I believe we are gonna go back to the time when everything was simple then. 

But it seems i gonna like it better,,,,SIMPLE LIFE!

Its been a month that i havent gone out to Samal Island where i used to hang out before this pandemic. Though id say i cope well with this quarantine or lockdown, i still long to give this itching sole a wing. 

Had not this pandemic happened id have burned my wheels on my BT 50 treading those newly built roads along the coasts of Mindanao the past week, being Holy Week. 

I really love seeing places, away from the hustles and bustles of the cities, like  beaches, waterfalls, and mountains. I easily could compose poems once i get immersed to it.

I missed those times in the early 2000s when the kids were in college and i was alone to wander with my new Nissan Frontier 4x4. That saw me up in that forsaken mining place of Diwalwal. I likewise went driving on Lent week a couple of thousand kilometers to Zamboanga passing thru the long way and on my way back the other route to that famous beach Dakak and the home of the national hero, Jose Rizal.

I think i could have made that trip again if it were not for the virus esp that fuel had gone down and too tempting to hit the road.

But i will on my next opportunity before i get too old lol.

They always say that idle mind is a playground of the devil. Then the devil must have played a lot on many minds in this time of lockdown and quarantine.

It did on mine except that the playground is China. After researching a lot on how this pandemic had started, i can say with conviction that its a BIOWARFARE product!

I discovered this Pinoy band who sings like exactly the Beatles. They were not olds but young guys who got hooked in 60s and 70s song and even earlier. Wow they were just terrific and so much water under the bridge instantly flowed in reverse!

I was in UP in 1966 enrolled as freshman. Stayed in the dorm and during the orientation, i saw a pretty girl from Baguio while the song "Girl" by the Beatles was being played. Hahaha i ended up being her weekend visitor in Ilangilang Dorm. She became my inspiration in my struggle to keep my scholarship in PreMed. 

Indeed those times in our life is almost always associated with songs esp my time when songs are quite full of emotions and memories unlike today's song when u cant make out what they compose the songs for.

One way or another every song evokes memories wherever, whenever and however we are. It is so powerful that once it is triggered, it stop us in our tract, unable to move forward but backward down memory lane. 

Well, it could be that i am a senior now and naturally those resevoir of people we met and situations we esperienced in those bygone years. 

This quarantine and lockdown afford me with the luxury of time! Happy reminishing!

Life indeed is so fleeting. Here today gone tomorrow does not even qualify.  

Yesterday the mother of my daughter in law Glory, celebrated her 71st birthday and nowhere did i expect something would terribly happened to her. Kenshin, my grandkid, sung her a birthday song and even took a screenshot of him and her gramma like it was just any ordinary day, 

But it wasnt. Today she left earth and i admit i am shocked!
Of course, other people i suppose will hasten to say corona virus did it, being in this precarious time of lockdown and quarantine. 

Glory stayed home the past weeks being advised by her children not to venture to the malls. Mall-going was her passion. Being  a fulfilled parent, she does what she had to do to enjoy her life. I used to see her pics in FB partying with her contemporaries. She was indeed living her life, 

Keep enjoying your life in the next world Glory. GODSPEED! You will surely be missed by Kenshin!

And us.

This is juz my opinion and observation this Corona virus has brought to the world. Its impact is being superficially thought and considered..BUT i tell u---- IT IS CHANGING THE WHOLE FACETS OF OUR LIVES!

We may not grasp this ramifications immediately but if u have given it a deep thought and  keen eyes on the extent of its effects as we are responding, we may NOT BE GOING BACK TO OUR USUAL WAY OF LIVING..even goverments shall change and adapt.

WE ARE CHANGED!!!

It got me thinking..what if there was no corona virus? Will i ever get back to strike these keys again? Really i was just sucked into these times of ever not finding time and always get busy like the days are not anymore 24 hrs but less.

You see i didnt even realize it but kinda juz accepting that never was there  enough time to fill up what we wanted to do in a day. Then this pandemic teaches us now that time is subjective and relative. There is always time for everything...time to chat with family, relatives and friends; time to remember happy or sad moments; time to talk with oneself during early morning walks; Or even juz get lost in a free flowing river of thoughts.

Personally, the biggest chunk of my 24hrs goes to my apo, Kenshin. Possibly if all of them are only within my reach physically, i would love hanging with them...the responsibility of passing the wealth of experiences, traditions & culture and wisdom inside my head in these 70 years of living my life. Indeed i have become 

Jeeez time flies soooo fast i didnt know i have already skipped more than a year having NOT POSTED anything on my blog. Indeed it really is in MYOWNPACE! lol

And this post is even coincidental knowing that if not of this Corona virus which had me locked up home to avoid contamination or being infected, i would never be pounding this keyboard. The virus has become deadly especially to older people like myself. The government has imposed total

lockdown to deny the virus some feet. 

This virus has become pandemic and i believe it will gonna pull down the global economy and push most into recession. The only things good coming out from this monster is it gives Planet Earth some respite from industrial wrecks man has been waging.   This may enable it to take a deep breath and sigh a bit. Even oil has gone down. In essence, this may possibly be a global reset.

I hope people of all races will reflect on this pandemic which could be a divine intervention who knows...to save planet earth and mankind. Man has already become voraciously greedy that it has lost all its humanity.

So, peeps nice to be back here and post more as this pandemic certainly seems not to go in a shortwhile.

THE YEAR I COULD BARELY POST--2018

Its been almost 2 months past the new year yet this is my only post so far. Many things have robbed me of my blogging time:

1. Pres Duterte's need to be supported due to the constant threat of         destabilization by the Yellowshits.
2. Stock Trading and Bitcoin
3. My upcoming dropshipping webstore with AliExpress.

Hope to find some space and time to regularly make some relevant posts.

Happening Now Around The World...

Today a lot has happened to the world:

1. China declares Petro-Yuan instead of petrodollar in oil purchases.
2. Catalonia declares independence from Spain.
3. 47 killed in FireWorks Factory in Indonesia
4. Pope Francis telephones ISS.

This petroyuan move by China wont be taken by the US sitting down. Re
member Iraq and Libya? They were removed and subsequently killed as they tried to leave the Petrodollar. These two however are weak countries unlike China and Russia. I dont think the US will go to war with China, knowing it could annihilate it too.

But the situation in Catalonia is different. I think Spain will not allow Catalonia to secede. It is with certainty then that war is inevitable, no doubt about it. Lets see whats gonna happen in the few days following.

In the Philippines, Fireworks have been banned except in duly designated places supervised by the govt. The accident in Indonesia could have been prevented thru strict regulations.

MARAWI CITY -- FREE FROM THE CLUTCHES OF ISIS/MAUTES

I could not help but rejoice at the news following the deaths of the terrorist leaders Hapilon and Maute. Consequently, the President on his 7th time in theCity, declared Marawi LIBERATED! Wow after so many lives lost both civilians and soldiers, the task of rebuilding and rehabilitating Marawi can begin and give the people back their normal lives turned upside down by these heartless terrorists!

Certainly, the cost is meganormous that will run into billions and will require the govt to realign its present budgets...cut here, trim there at the expense of BUILD, BUILD, BUILD. But thanks God there are foreign benovolent benefactors.

Just this morning i read of a huge ship, one of the biggest bulk carrier has docked in the port of Davao City loaded with rehab materials and equipments destined for Marawi. What a gesture of help! Whoever said that former enemy could NOT be the best of friends... while previous friends are ONLY friends when they can milk you WITH SO MANY STRINGS ATTACHED!

Anyway i said what i gotta said. What is good for today that beats all
the odds and nega news of recent days is Kenshin, the Samurai lol.

Last night we had a family dinner cuz our youngest sister, Tach just flew
in from Paris and threw a great dinner complete with lechon! Hahaha who would skip a dinner like that? Kenshin was there and ate his first lechon.
He cried too for the first time being surrounded by lolos, lolas, cousins and uncles/aunties. He must had been overwhelmed hahaha.

But he did recover and entertained us with a good piano piece hahaha.
Here is a video of his performance...

Future Virtouso

Hasta la vista baby!

In Defense of the President...

Defending the President is a patriotic job to do. It chips away your fingernails constantly pounding the keyboard. Indeed the battlefield has shifted from the street to the internet.

In this island country, Philippines communication was quite difficult to deliver and usually what is delivered are fake news as Mainstream Media have the monoply of the print and the airwaves. But thanks to WWW
the island has been fused by social media as people share everything and anything.

When the present President won the 2016 Presidential election, i really
thought the country will transition to a new level of transformation. But no sooner than his SONA, the defeated LP had been hatching a plan to destabilize and replace the President with the VP.

One best thing is that 90% of the people are behind the President, me included lol. Without the people and social media, the elected president could have fallen victim to these destabilizers even if he overwhelmingly won in the election.

On my grandkid: Heres some pics this week of Kenshin while malling on Saturday.

Hasta la vista baby!

My World In A Week....

Its a small world especially in this digital era.


On the domestic front, my grandkid, Kenshin has shown tremenduous improvement in his attempts to at least walk. @8 months he can already stand by his own even from a siting position. He sorts of skipped the crawling phase. Looks like being breastfeed really has some generic advantages over formula preps which are suspected to be sourced from GMOs.

Here's Kenshin's video & pics:

I gotta say kenshin's cool kid and awesome!

Now, being a Dutertard and fulfilling my patriotic responsibility, i was suggesting to the President to declare a Revolutionary Govt. His presidency has been treacherously attacked from all side by these yellowshits in socmed and in MSM hurting mostly his and country's international image. These maneuvers has affected his much needed reforms to make the country go forward. Remember he's got only 6 yrs and this may not be enough.

Having the RevGov will speed up things blazingly fast sans the legal challenges and destabilizing attempts. Afterall, 90%+ of the people trust him.

In the global scene, the massacre in LV really looks like a falseflag case. Elsewhere, a truckbomb in Somalia killed 6 people and maybe more. Hurricane Ophelia may make an impact in Ireland and UK. Preparations have been underway to mitigate the impact. Catalonia calls for unity under pressure for the ultimatum posed by Rajoy.

TGIF: The Most Anticipated Day

Not much happened except that I was glad Thinking Pinoy did excellently in demolishing the yellowshits with their brand of destabilization through fake news.

This techie guy showed the senators and the world that the spreaders of fake news who were hiding in anonymity of the web can be traced especially if they monetized their sites. TP illustrated how they did it; exposing their credentials via their AdSense ID number. It showed that Kokey Dayao was the same man administering all the sites used in spreading fake news against the President with the help of few hands.

These identified people fled the online scene deleting everything but TP and Sass already made screen capture of everything to be used as evidence. They also failed to appear in the hearing  thus the presumption of guilt.

Anyway, as i was watching the hearing i was mutitasking too looking after my grandkid, Kenshin. You see this small guy is a Dutertard like his granpa.

Here is the proof: LOL

Hahaha Kenshin even posed(second pic) proudly smiling and confirming his being a bluebloodied DDS hahaha.

AUGUST 28, 2016 PAPA - HIS LIFE AS I SAW IT

I had awaken as the dream almost realistically told me he was bidding goodbye. In the silhouette of darkness, like a flash the image was gone.
I sat up and turned my face to where he slipped away. I was happy that at last he was free without the debilities that disfigured him with mumbled speech. I waved my hand to signal  godspeed journey. I suppose mama is eagerly waiting  him as well as his parents and close acquantances - to welcome him to their realm.

In my child’s eye, i saw him as a strong father who didnt hesitate to wield a strong hand to bring his kids to the path that he wished them to follow. I could understand him as he is a product of his generation. His orientation is likewise shaped by the generation before him and what his father probably instilled in him. He was a workaholic, and treated each day like it were the same. The seven days of the week were Monday, Monday, Monday, Monday, Monday, Monday, & Monday. How he took the energies to stay out working, i never knew. All i knew was that he had a lot of mouths to stuff food in. And those food does not grow by themselves. He probably knew that the needs of his family were growing - food, shelter, clothing, education, etc. In my young mind i could already see him as responsible and determined to give his family a better future than he had.

I remember him saying, “I want you all to study hard and get a degree. I dont want you to be farmers like me”. This sermon i heard over and over almost all weekends as we work in the field. I was in highschool that time and we would hurry home to give him some helping hand planting abaca, coconuts, rubber, and fruit trees.In my junior and senior years however, he mellowed on me and allowed me to stay on weekend in the next town where we were going to school. I could sense that he wanted me to top the class and finished highschool at the helm.I made him proud pinning those numerous medals on my shirt came graduation. He listened intently as i delivered my valedictory address.

OLD POST: MAY 1, 2014 BREAKING BAD PINOY VERSION

Somes notes from tonight, April 4, 2014:

I just finished my trade set ups and wanted to hit the bed, when a closed-van truck owned by a neighbor, pulled up to the adjacent lot next to my house. The clock read 11:15pm almost midnight. 6 or 7 men alighted and started unloading what looked like firewood to me. Then they set up the place putting a plastic canopy and  a sidecover perhaps for others not to see what they would do next.

The men worked systematically like each had an assigned task to do. Soon enough, a fire had been started and a bigpot was boiling, with the firewood constantly being added to keep the fire maintain the heat of the pot. What i always wondered, which by the way, took away the drowsiness in me, was what the hell were they doing and what was it they were cooking! My mind raced back to the American TV Series, "Breaking Bad". Was this a similar scheme -by some men trying to manufacture drugs for easy money? 

I closed the door of the bathroom to prevent the lightpost from illuminating and reveal my position. The men kept turns driving the long, big laddle in circular motion, seemingly trying to mix the substance in the pot. One or two men men meanwhile, took turns too to guard the place, ever watchful of passers-by. Actually, their cooksite is quite secure and cannot be seen easily from the road, except from me since the windowbathroom is in a straightline view.They did a pretty good job and strategic planning where to position the truck and a mini-vehicle as such to block the view of whoever will be down the road.

The men did not sleep at all. They continued to do what they were doing the whole night. I went to sleep intermitently, peering whenever i was able to wake up. Toward dawn and almost daylight, i peered again and this time i saw the men slicing into different parts pork meat. I thought, what a cover! If they were butchering a pig, why it took them the whole night...and why didn't i hear a pig's cry? If the pig was already butchered, what were they cooking the whole night since they were still slicing the meat at daylight? 

I stayed on trying to piece the puzzle. I tried to observe what the men would be doing next. Two women arrived and one asked if they had slept at all. The other woman attended to the sliced meat oblivious of anyone around her. By this time, some of the men were cleaning the pot; hosing down the place with water while one man came near the fence where the bathroom window is and where the mini-vehicle was parked. The man took the plastic coverings of what seemed to be from the front side of the vehicle and taped something unto them. He didnt replace the covers but put them all at the back. I surmised this could be a way to easily deliver the items  without anyone suspecting the merchandise were taped to the covers - now lying on the floor at the back of the vehicle! 

The mini-vehicle left after an hour to deliver the merchandise with two men onboard. Those left behind con-

tinued to work on the meat. Soon many arrived and a party atmosphere began to take shape without knowing 

it was a good camoflage and what a blessing to celebrate!

At this particular moment, i had no doubt "Breaking Bad" is actually happening right at my nosetip! No wonder these people could afford luxuries beyond their perceived financial capabilities. No wonder, these people appeared to be arrogant and disrespectful of neighbors' rights - like the excessive noise of their trucks even at midnight and keeping dogs which incessantly bark until into the wee hours.

I will continue to write about this everytime this cooking happens at my nosetip.... hoping that someday, somehow luck will deny them and throw them into the boiling pot of hell . As the saying goes, "You cannot hide a smoke...and where there's smoke, there's fire"
