Foreign Born Observer (FBO)

Where have I've been, you ask? To tell you the truth, I have totally lost interest as an observer since Obama got elected and since my favorite President of all time, George W. and the lovely former First Lady Laura exited the White House.  I don't have anything of value to say about Obama and the Dems since the bias mainstream media have a lot of glorious nonsense to say and high praises to sing about the messiah, the one,anyway. I salute the power of hype and the press, the liberal elites, and Hollywood celebrities.
So what do I do now? I'm finding consolation for my political lost, I took it personally in listening daily to Rush Limbaugh the Doctor of Democracy http://www.rushlimbaugh.com , Mark Levin the Great One on WLS 890am from 10:00 pm - 1:00 am and Sean Hannity to get hannitized once in a while. I also discovered and listen other radio talk shows in Chicago -- WIND 560am.  I have stopped watching Jay Leno many, many months ago because everytime I watch him he's calling George W "dumb."  Not true! I'm still waiting for Obama to release his grades from Harvard.  The NBC network is erased from my TV playlist.  I must confess I don't have cable, don't intend to have, so I'm immuned from what I hear from MSNBC & CNN morons.  Praise the Lord! 
Where did I turned to now?  I have turned to PBS. They have become Republican-friendly. I have watched the complete Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Rick Steves' Europe, Nova, Frontline, Ken Burns, and everything that I see from my window to their window.
Oh, wow! Here's a PBS Program Spotlight - one of my all time favorites,YANNI has a show coming - Yanni Voices: Live from the Forum in Acapulco, Saturday, February 28, 7:00 pm Chicago time and Monday, March 2nd, 7:30 pm.

What a beautiful person he is to his fans.  I asked for his autograph and went beyond signing my other stuffs also although I think he's getting tired signing with hundreds of people in line and more to come.  That my friends is being appreciative and caring to his avid fans!!  We're happy.

Ellen of Toronto in Chicago

I had a wonderful time with Ellen (aka Ubing) who's almost done with her Sysmex hematology instrument training in Vernon Hills, a suburb of Chicago and more than 30-minute drive from my Skokie crib.  I called my favorite friend Susan who lives in the area to meet us at the Indigo Hotel.  Going north I did not see the hotel as you can only see the sign when you're heading south.  I got all the way to Libertyville.  I called the hotel for a landmark, 2 blocks from Rte. 60, and chatted with both Ellen and Susan who were anxiously waiting at the lobby.  I arrived at the hotel after 7 minutes, around 6:35 P.M.  Since, we're all hungry and Susan was familiar with restaurants in the area, we hurried and drove to On The Border Mexican Restaurant just a stone-throw from Indigo.  Ellen picked Mexican food - she said she's still in a margarita mood.  She just came back from a Mexican vacation with her very good friend Gatchi.

Tan and lovely Ellen ordered her margarita, drinking her way to margaritaville.

Pedro preparing our guacamole. It's good.

Just between us. I prefer how Filipinos prepare their avocados - milk and sugar.
