TELEVISION SHOWS SEPTEMBER 18, 2014

We all love our television shows, is it not?  We are glued watching it every night ( or day?).  Why? We get to laugh, be entertained etc and we forget all what is going on around us and around the world. But I am not here today to talk about that, I am here to talk about the TV shows!  I also watch it and get entertained but I still know what is going on around me. Oh, my! Here she goes again...no lectures please!  Alright, back to what I am saying....let us start.....

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT.....we saw last night the crowning of the winner of the show, season 9,  an illusionist...Mat Franco who started with his love for magic at a very young age of 4, per her grandmother. When I first saw Mat Franco, I thought he was a comedian. He did not look like a magician to me. Oh, Oh, Why? How does a magician look? He does not look somber or serious to me, he seems to be more of a comedian type face, hard to explain. Anyway, his magic tricks are really good and clean. He deserved to win the one million dollar prize money and headlining his own show at Las Vegas.

The runner up was Emily West, a sexy country singer who I thought was a favorite of one of the judges, Howard Stern. He probably thought she was really hot and pretty. Sorry, Howard, you are married to a beautiful lady! Why did Emily chose Cyndi Lauper for her duet?  No offense, Cyndi Lauper, you are a talented artist but I think Emily chose the wrong person to sing with! Would that had caused her the win? Maybe, maybe not. Who knows?

The favorite of the show was Quintavious, a 12 year old singer who landed in fifth place. He wowed the audience everytime he is on stage, but the icing on the cake for him was when he had the duet last night with Jennifer Hudson. He did good in his pick of  who to sing with! Wow! He really held his own along side the grammy winner and star. Too bad, he did not get a lot of votes. Will he be following the footsteps of Michael Jackson to stardom?  He can really, really sing and he will go places in the music industry!

I really think that the one who stole the show last night was Nick Cannon with his glittering shoes and watch full of bling! Flaunt it, if you have it, right Nick?

NEXT.... DANCING WITH THE STARS......Jullianne Hough, the new judge....Jullianne...what did you do...soooo big, it looks ridiculous! I forgot...you are now a movie star. Then, will you able to still dance and carry them? I bet it will be a little hard! I hope it does not give you back trouble. You are sooo beautiful and sexy already that you really did not need two melons on your chest!!! Sigh...that is what Hollywood does to women. Oh, well.

How about the contestants? Lolo! My! My! My! You need to check your attitude problem! I was sooo glad and happy that you were eliminated!  Good riddance!!

Well, folks, this is all for now....have a great day!!!

MY JOURNEY WITH BREAST CANCER MAY 10, 2014

It has been seven years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thank you God! Thank you Mama Mary! Hip! Hip! Hooray! God is good!!!  My published book with my journey from beginning of diagnosis to surgery and reconstruction to help readers know what the journey entails. Hopefully the book can educate the breast cancer patients what they will be encountering and can make decisions wisely.

JUST PLAIN TALK March 19, 2014

Just came back from Kroger today...prices on some items have gone up...do you think it's because the value of the dollar has gone down? Maybe. I just read today that China started to trade with another country in yuan, not in dollars. Shredded cheese, Kroger brand on sale is now $2.59 for an 8 oz package; cost of spam went up also to $2.69. Who cares about spam? I do, it's easy to fix & eat. Don't they serve that in restaurants in Hawaii? Yes, they do.  But there are certainly good buys in Kroger today, e.g., beef ( chuck pot roast) is buy one get one free. This is really a great price!; Keurig caribou kcup ( 12 ) is $6.99 ( previously $8.99), a very good buy; some green mountain kcup is also on sale at $6.99, a really good price. Hilshire polska kielbasa is 2 for $4.00. There might be other items on sale that I did not see since I was in a hurry. Sale ends on Sunday 3/22.
Other stop was an Asian store, double dragon rice 20 lbs was $19.99 which was $12.99 before; kyongi rice 40 lbs was $24.99 which was $19.99 before. I do not know if I am the only one that is griping about prices...packages of items are getting smaller & prices are going up. One can easily spend $ 50 nowadays with only one or two items! Yikes!!! What can we do? Anyone?? 
Another thing that has gone up is medicine, I did not have a copay before Obamacare on generic but now, AFTER OBAMACARE,  it is $19.25 for a 90 day supply! Premiums also has doubled and the benefits are not that great..high copay, etc...Isn't that ironic...the affordable care is not affordable....why do the politicians call it affordable, perhaps they do not know what the word " affordable" means? For them, it might be affordable since they are millionaires but for ordinary folks like me, it is outrageous and insane!! So, what will people do...buy food or buy medicine? Goodness gracious!!! I hope and pray that Obamacare will be repealed!!! 
What is going on?
....High prices on food, gas, healthcare.
....High unemployment
....US dollars devalued
....Crazy weather all over
I can enumerate other things but I think I might run out of space, so I will stop now. I just hope and pray that things will get better...am I being overly optimistic? Probably...you guys tell me...I think I am done for now....
Let us all pray for world peace. May God bless each and everyone of us!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! DECEMBER 31, 2013

Wow! 2013 soon will be a thing of the past. Time flies when you're having fun??? I just hope & pray that 2014 will be a better year for all of us, our country and the whole world!

My wishes for 2014? Peace in the whole world! Cessation of abortion in Michigan, the whole United States and the whole world! That God will be back in everybody's life and God will continue to bless our dear country. Religious liberty & freedom will continue in our beloved country.

Here's wishing everyone a safe, healthy, blessed, prosperous & happy New Year. May God bless all of us!!! Cheers!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

ROSARY RALLY 2013, OCTOBER 12, 2013

Rosary Rally Crusade was held yesterday, October 12, 2013 all over the United States.  I was on one of the rallies which was held at a park. The prayer started promptly at 12 noon local time...weather was gorgeous...sunny and a little bit on the cooler side, which was fantastic.  It was a very successful, blessed and happy event shared by the rally attendees. After the rally, we stayed at the park socializing since it was a beautiful day. A wonderful, wonderful event....and I thank all of the rally participants that help me pray and make the rally a very successful one this year. Everyone felt sooo blessed and cannot wait for the rally next year. We hope and pray that we will do it again next year, God willing.

Purpose of the rally was to pray for our beloved country and the whole world, organized by America Needs Fatima organization. There were 11,247 rallies held which exceeded expectations of 10,000. Isn't that amazing?  11,247 rallies praying at the same time for America and the world.  People that joined felt so blessed and happy and knew that in a small way helped pray for our country and the world. We sure need the prayers, don't you all agree? I am sure that God and the Blessed Virgin Mary are so happy for our prayers and I hope and pray that God will continue to bestow His blessings to our dear, beloved country and the world.

May God bless all of us and have a great, blessed and happy day!
