Happy Victoria Day! Everyone, for the last two weeks I have been busy eating around in weekend times. And, this coming Sunday is another BBQ day. How am I going to reduce weight when pigging out is free and fun with dearest friends. Forget the bulge and go with the gathering that happens not often. We really had and have terrific weather to enjoy with, remembering how mean our past winter was. There no sorry to enjoy the sunny season.

Chirping so many times now, that we are still living in an apartment, and we are not ready yet to move out. That would be later when I have enough money for condo downpayment. That is why when I have problems with my shower nozzles, sinks and even door ball knobs. It’s the problem solved by the superintendent not us. I do enjoy the on-call super every time I have problems with our suite maintenance. Funny thing, if I have some problems, I will just send a notice titled “SOS” detailing my concerns. When I get back from work, everything is in order.

Almost all of us wish to have money that keeps on coming like filling the laundry basket. I am broke right now but still financially able to pay bills. What I wish is my job will keep me longer and in good health. I live a simple life. I wonder how I will react when windfall struck. I do have list of plans and dreams in life and is reachable but to a lifetime. There is no problem with that, I just keep hanging on to my planned path of life I want to be. No hurry!

When people know how and what is the purpose and reasons why money is limited to the core of their imagination. Yes, there are plenty of money in the Central Bank and money printing machine too. Why let us suffer and work hard, and earned them. Why always talk about recession, starvation and poverty? All have interlinks and trade- offs. That is, there is no perfect recipe to overflowing money supply. It’s not happening soon and never will.

My friends are now busy with extra efforts, joining gym, yoga and pilates. And, me doing the same everyday work and home. I don’t have the energy to warm up. I’ve already used up my energy for the whole day at work. Besides, I don’t want to spare extra dime for body exercises, sweat and get tired. And hey, how about the workout clothing, even discount yoga mats could not entice me to spend. I’d rather diet.I am just a lazy bummer.

Do you feel the guilt of wearing cheap clothes coming from poor nations? That would depends on how sympathetic I am to the people or to the corrupt countries. Yes, my first country is not exempted to so call political corruption, but it is not common in my country that a building collapse due to poor infrastructure.

We all know about the building collapsed in Bangladesh taking lives of hundred innocents. It is said, that this building is a clothing factory for foreign countries, and in fact, these clothes are sold here in my second beloved country. Merchants to merchants’ business dealings are assumed to be producing “code of ethics” products, specifically the safety of its workers.

Yes, yes and yes. We want our country to be productive, but approving building permits rushed to the point of under the table ink. There is increase productivity, child labour is there, poor working condition is there and dilapidated building of the workforces. Corrupt, corrupt and corruption are they. When building collapse, they blame and slammed our face of wearing cheap clothes from Bangladesh. Are we guilty for paying the cheap goods? Why blamed my purchased and slammed my face for guilt that I did not commit. I earned my money to buy those garments and the store did not say that the garments are coming from poor condition factory. Put the blames to the merchants not to the end users who knows nothing about the sources of the goods.

Heading to downtown, we are going to watch the colorful Easter parade. I’m ready with my electronic gadget to update my network friends what’s going on in the City for this one of the beloved holidays. Egg hunting is everywhere. But we opted to join the parade as one of the expectators. Last year’s parade was a blast. Marching music, bands and majorettes are moving artistically with the beats. Drums beat echo through our ears together chanting ‘happy Easter”. There I said, I will not play or buy electric drum set for sale, in any music store. Its sticks as it hit the drums it resonates to my ears like a big thud. That would be happening in today’s parade. All in all, the colorful parade and its bands are amazing. I just hate the heavy impact of noise to my ears.
