Mothers Day 2023

Happy Mothers Day to all mothers in the world especially to my mother in heaven and to my surviving sisters no matter what. What a life it has been onwards yet there are ups and downs, going spiral but we will rise back.

Seems everyone is happy today for those who still have their mothers, take time and make memories together coz you know they will never last long. I remember that day my mother passed like no one really expected the worst till it happened. Enough for being shy and distant while your loved ones can still breath and stand. For waking up every morning is always a blessing.

May the love and care that only mothers can give shine and remain forever. For those who went astray, go home and make peace with your family. On the other hand, wishing bad and arrogant moms change their ways and look after their children. Happy Mothers Day 2023.

A Dog’s Life

Woke up this morning with a fur of sadness. Not a feather or petal that summer may bring in the air. For our only house dog flew to heaven early this morning. I heard him howling by midnight that confused me for a moment if that was our toddler who was crying till it occured to me that was our dog. He was with us since 2011 perhaps not so sure about the exact year but that’s it. He’s gone due to old age so that’s a natural cause, maybe this summer took his life as heat stroke affected him. I hope not because I fed him a small fish that might hurt him. Though I would say we might referred to him as a male dog coz he didn’t conceive but I didn’t look closer for his actual male genitals. Nor did I cuddle or hold him even for a few seconds of his entire life. How sad for a loving dog who lived in a cage in our backyard. Would cherish the years but time flew so fast that I captured no single picture of him that could grace this post.

I learned just today that the average life expectancy of a dog is between 10 to 13 years just like the time our dog Kulit stayed with us. Though I’m not an animal person so I just researched a while ago what type of dog he was. Maybe he was a kind of retriever though he had short legs ,if inborn or that was caused by age, I can’t be certain.

Indeed, how could you write a blog for something you have a little knowledge of or not passionate about. But for a dog that managed to survive almost 2 years after our mother died, with a superstition that the death of a house pet saves a life of a family member, yet our household has no major known health problem to cause a panic or anxiety as of the time being, I wrote this blogpost as a fitting tribute for “Kulit”

I will surely miss feeding this fur buddy that always reminded me of someone who gave us Kulit once upon a time. Together with our 4 cats, Kulit would always bark for food. Maybe thinking they would get his share for lunch and dinner. Sorry for the times I skipped to give him food since he didn’t eat rice, vegies and noodles.

Send my regards to our loving family members if you ever see them where you are Kulit, for sure you will be in heaven.

Blogging 2023

So You’re new here and there is nothing you can do but wait till your blog posts gain traffic and followers. Disappointing to make posts and rants. Save for some affiliate products that you want to promote but blogging is quite a lazy thing to do. I used to be prolific and adamant but now I cant bring myself to swim in this water anymore. Just quoting Adele’s successful single Easy on Me.

So how about you fellow bloggers, what keeps your wheels turning? It’s not easy to just pay for website hosting and ads to promote our blogs hoping for returns at what cost? unless we are also born entertainers, comedy sells anywhere in social media but it’s a stiff competition when everyone wants to be a star or comedian just to earn dollars from youtube and facebook, sad that being writers off-cam doesn’t sell that much from using voice-overs, texts, video clips and gifs. We need actors so thats another expenditure. But of course to pursue something you want may also bring fortune or meager income in the long run just push the right keywords perhaps to appear at Google search. Or sell the right products or services online. Still on the false positive realm.

Henry Cavill’s Doomsday

Flying rumors got into frenzy after he lost 2 major roles in one flame. Henry Cavill was allegedly dethroned by the new boss, James Gunn who is recently appointed as the new Co-CEO of DC Studios, a film subsidiary of Warner Bros, after his major directorial breakthrough at Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and The Suicide Squad at the present and few years prior.

Henry, who just lost his role to Liam Hemsworth, as Geralt of Rivia in the Season 4 of the tv series The Witcher at Netflix after creative juices boiled and burned, must be in a hazy atmosphete right now due to his major downfall like crambling into pieces after his successful flight as Superman who is yet to appear on Man of Steel 2 after finishing 2 movies with Justice League. But should his formidable fortress really shatter in the ocean, he could always look back at Enola as Sherlock Holmes and the villain at another impossible mission with Tom Cruise if his union with them was not a bad omen.

He can try his hands and luck of course in method acting given his muscles and charm to lure his fans into a dramatic spectacle like Russell Crowe and Mel Gibson ok not so old but the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Jared Leto and Joaquin Phoenix if he would land into an award-winning vehicle.

Maybe jumping into another superhero role is not a good idea. He must cuddle someone to hone his romantic flair like Hugh Grant and Hugh Jackman, Colin Firth and Colin Farrell. Same names , same history in acting? Not so proven but they seem to be prolific and lucky at some point of their filmography. Though with a body and face like that, like his demigod persona Theseus he could also return to for Immortals 2 after many years of waiting, he will always find his place in the cinema. Unless he might lose his way a little older compared to Taylor Lautner who can’t seem to return in the limelight after one movie franchise.

Bond Girl SAG Best Actress

Former Bond girl Michelle Yeoh from the 1997 James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies opposite Pierce Brosnan and Teri Hatcher, won the 2023 Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Female Actor in a Leading Role-Motion Picture.

She nailed the award by the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once versus the acting mettle of Cate Blanchett for Tar, Ana de Armas for Blonde , Danielle Deadwyler for Till and Viola Davis for The Woman King.

Michelle rose to fame after the success of her asian film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with Chow Yun-fat and Zhang Ziyi in 2000 leading to her many commercial films like The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Crazy Rich Asians, and the recent marvel movie Shang-Chi in 2021.

She just wrapped up her stint at the Netflix movie School of Good & Evil and the tv series The Witcher: Blood Origin both produced by Netflix.

Her accolade from SAG last February 27 is not the first since she also bagged the highly coveted Best Actress award in a Musical or Comedy Motion Picture at the 80th Golden Globe Awards on January 11 that really hyped her start of 2023 with a bang.

Hoping that her awards will also open doors to other talented asian actresses like Liza Soberano and Anne Curtis who already tried their luck but still in deep muddy water. Thank God for Chai Fonacier on her film Nocebo with Eva Green and Mark Strong and Dolly de Leon who starred with some unknown actors in Triangle of Sadness yet their films suffered in low box office turn out so government subsidy is very much needed to finance the production and high salaries of their famous or not so famous co-stars. So unfortunate that the french leading actress died due to a fatal skin disease last year. Dolly is still lucky to be alive to maybe star in another indie movie not just an hour later before she appears onscreen.

10-Inch Keyboard for Cellphone/Tablet

I have to struggle and take this hurdle to make room for adjustment but I think it’s great as a keyboard option compared to a hefty laptop in tow. Available as my old companion broke down recently that I have to resort to my immediate alternative as not to jump into debt of purchasing a refurbished or brand new laptop if luck and money would fill my pocket.

So let me review this gadget from this moment on since I might be using this frequently for more work on my blogs and ads in social media. I got a black one with a short cable for charging. With its bluetooth capacity that is able to connect to multiple devices at once, it’s a must have yet a cheap at a little cost compared to a full netbook onboard.

But of course we have to be cautious not to break this keyboard easily since it could be fragile and creaky. but such a big help for someone like me who matters financial crisis at this point in time since I hibernated that memento only to break it like a crispy fry. It actually fell on the floor when my table collapsed that eventually led to its demise. Like a dog that finally croaked if I may quote a phrase from a poem by Edgar Alan Poe.
