Property Taxes

DO NOT BUY A HOUSE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE EXTRA MONEY.  I just got the First Installment of my 2016 Illinois  Property Tax.  Every year it's getting higher and higher.  It's like paying for 2 houses.  I'm trying my best to afford it.  Do not believe in "Affordable Housing."  Believe if you have money to burn!

Dump Trump

HE IS A CLOWN!  Only 69% of voters don't like him and making fun of him.  Hey, NRC - it will be the end of you if he's the Republican presidential nominee.  One thing is for sure, I'm not voting in November 2016 if Trump is your guy.  Only JEB is the valid candidate in my list.

That Sarah Palin:  What an annoying woman.  She's crazy.

Ted Cruz:  A congressional timebomb!  He'll never win.  Waste of donors money.

_________________________

Do not be fooled by Trump.  Anyone can say what he says - about the borders, about the economy. about ISIS and about his fellow candidates.  But in Congress with senators and representatives from different states with different ideas things are not going to fly because of differences of opinions.


JEB came from a dignified and good family.  He was a very good governor of Florida for 8 years.  Trump, the INGRATE, took advantage of this with no state tax, real estate investment and golf courses.

JEB is presidential material and looks presidential.

I'll vote for him!

East Coast Blizzard

IN 94 YEARS, A SUPER SNOWSTORM IS SLAMMING THE EAST COAST.    The Washington, D.C. Metro has been shut down until Sunday.  Thousand of airline flights have been cancelled.  People have been told to stay at home.  Very dangerous.

The Midwest has having a mid weather - around in the 30s.  The last time there was a big blizzard was February 1, 2011.  Chicago was paralyzed for almost 5 days.  I was lucky to escape to sunny Philippines.

Phone Landline

SOO LOUD STATICS ON MY PHONE LINE.  I called AT&T my service provider to check what's the cause.  There was a crack in the outside wiring in the poles.  He spent almost 5 hours.  It's good the weather was fine on January 15, Friday.  He did an excellent job.  Now I can hear everything loud and clear.  Thanks, AT&T!

Happy New Year 2016

Out with the old,  In with the new. 

Start the new year by eating at your favorite restaurant with your favorite group of friends.  One of our favorites is Bacolod Chicken Haus.  There's nothing German in their menu - all of the dishes are Filpino.

FINALLY!  MISS PHILIPPINES IS ALWAYS A RUNNER-UP THESE PAST FEW YEARS BUT  NEVER AS MISS UNIVERSE.  

Oh, What a moment!  There was confusion when host Steve Harvey called Miss Colombia as Miss Universe 2015.  He must be dyslexic like me.  It turned out PIA ALONZO WURTZBACK, was the real winner.  The Trump.  Previous owner of Miss Universe Pageant said both should be co-winners.  Is he insane?  These ladies all their lives are dreaming of their shining moment in the world's stage.   I'm glad he's no longer the owner.  And he will never ever be president of the United States of A !!!!!!

A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT AT THE MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT    All the contestants are favorite beauties.   Mary Jean Lastimosa, our very own Miss Philippines 2014 (Binibining Pilipinas) made it to the 15 semi-finalists and Top Ten finalists thanks to the presence of Judge Manny Pacquaio.  MJ got eliminated as one of the five finalists.

Now, let me say this before I go on.  That new expensive Miss Universe crown is u-g-l-y.  I used to watch all Superman films, those starring Christopher Reeves, and it looked like ice columns from the House of Jo-el.  And not even Princess Elsa or Anna would wear such a crown in Frozen.  Yes, yes, I'm traditional.  Caveat:  Any new Miss Universe winner in the future should nevertheless accept the crown and put it on her head.  It is what it is! 

About MJ, 27,  hails from Cotabato, in the 12 million Muslim population stronghold of Mindanao.  Her father is an Arab who managed a recruitment agency in Manila and her Filipina mother Marites worked with the business. Her parents then moved to Saudi Arabia to promote the business.  She and her sister Maricar were left behind in the care of their uncle Sergio.  She has three other siblings living in Saudi Arabia.  She had a degree in technological engineering at the University of Mindanao. 

Host of the Miss Universe Pageant is the beautiful Natalie Morales of NBC Today Show.

Ha-ha-ha!!! Buti naintidihan ni Miss USA si Judge #1 Manny Pacquaio with his Visayan/Filipino  accent.  I must confess I forgot his question.  Refresh me.

First runner-up Miss USA  Nia Sanchez   Good answer to the greatest contribution of your country to the world.  She's nervous but this is a better answer:  spread of democracy, liberty , and  freedom.

Disappointed audience boo-ed when favorite Miss Jamaica placed 4th runner-up

Miss Ukraine

I love the new Miss Universe from Colombia

Internet comment:  The Miss Universe Pageant is biased - - How come only from earth are always the winners?  Maybe Donald Trump should connect with Mars, moon, Jupiter and of course, the rest of the universe.

Update   January 25, 2015

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS HAPPENING IN MIAMI, FLORIDA THIS SUNDAY, JANUARY 25th.  What's more terrific news is Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquaio is one of the celebrity judges for the 63rd Annual Miss Universe Pageant.  While the Pope was in the Philippines, Pacman was having a royal dinner with Prince Harry and touring the palace in the U.K.  With him judging are TV host and shoe designer Kristin Cavalleri (wife of Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler), People Spain's "Sexiest Man Alive" and actor Willy Levy, reality show Lisa Vanderpump and fashion journalist Louise Roe.
