Just after celebrating Victoria Day, I received text messages saying that my mother had a stroke and undergoing CT scan.  She’s still unconscious and diagnosed that half of her body is paralyzed. With these added diseases, how could she live longer when she’s also surviving with hemodialysis. Complications and all, it seems that I should ready myself for the inevitable life riddle. The worst thing is I and my sister is living far away from them. We trust all to the Lord that He will always bless our father with good health, courage and patience to carry the burden by himself, without us their children. Because of greener pasture, we can only cry, extend our moral support and financial support. I don’t wait for the inevitable, we are going home Mama. Live long!

You must be very lucky hearing your neighbors playing piano or guitar. Our tot plays the keyboard but not good enough, just below so-so or lower level. He just started playing piano. But we enjoy singing along with live sound from musicians friend karaoke time. Not always though, occasionally. But we did enjoyed karaoke last Saturday. I could only cheer and dance with the music, I could not sing. My vocal singing chord is way too flat, that even do re mi are in the same tune. My teenager time, we are not allowed to listen to music or FM radio. I never learn to sing, just sing along with others who sing.

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's 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.
