Easy way to make tables by using copy and paste in Blogger

I don't write my HTML source from scratch every time I make a table.  When I want to use a table in Blogger, I just go to Posts > Draft in My blogs to search from all the tables I created and use the one I like.

Chinese usually buy this for Chinese New Year?

One of my friends went to T and T Supermarket and brought me a Chinese New Year flyer.  Hey, there are cosmetics on sale at the T and T.  But, why the Chinese New Year flyer has cosmetics on sale?  Being beautiful for Chinese New Year?

Looking for good saline drops for eyes - DIY saline eye drops recipe

This winter is so dry for my mum's eyes.  So, she wants to get some saline eye drops.  Well, we have to admit that the main reason for my mum to try saline eye drops is the recommendation of Dr. Oz.

Why don't we have Windows 9?

Windows 10 is free for devices with Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 for one year.  Do you want to use it?  I don't know if I want to or not.  How much will I have to pay a year later?  Sorry, one more question.  What happened with Windows 9?  A couple of my friends have their own theories.

Vegetable Stock - A recipe from Ottawa Vegetarian Society

After I put the first recipe for Our Recipe Collection in this blog, my relatives, my friends and my colleagues gave me their piles and boxes of recipes.  "When are you going to put my recipes online?"  They all asked.  Hey, I'm a 24 / 7 procrastinator who work full time!

Miss Canada Chanel Beckenlehner, You Go Girl!

I'm not a hockey fan, but, I'd love to see Canada win the Stanley Cup.  I love reading that Canadian classic children's book "The Hockey Sweater".  So, what's wrong with Chanel's national custom for Miss Universe 2015?

January 23 is National Handwriting Day

How often do you write now?  If I'm not typing, I can't write, I can't spell.  What should I do now?  Where is my pen?

Target's flyer is here again

We received Target's flyer again yesterday.  I thought we won't get its paper flyer anymore.

Skillet Cinnamon Apples - A recipe from Elm Street Oct 1997

This is our first recipe for Our Recipe Collection.  It is from a Canadian magazine called Elm Street.  Since Elm Street was not available on newsstands, you may not heard of it.  Sadly, its publisher shut down the magazine years ago.

I'm compiling a recipe collection for everyone I know

We can recycle our old magazine cut outs, newspaper clip outs, recipe cards etc. now. All we need is to use our phones or tablets to access the recipes.  This collection will include recipes written in English, Japanese and traditional Chinese from all my friends.

Don't understand Japanese or Chinese?  Don't worry.  Just have your Japanese or Chinese friends around you to make you that yummy dish and thank them later.

Weekly special from 21 January 2015 Wednesday

It is easier for me to have all the online flyers I want in one place - in this blog.  I don't like going back and forward with my emails to check out the deals.

The Flash vs Prison Break

Actors Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller, brothers of Prison Break (Global / Fox) appeared in yesterday's episode of The Flash (CTV / CW).  Sorry NCIS (Global / CBS), my mum chose The Flash over you.

Will The X-Files be back in 2015?

Mulder and Scully, we miss you!  The X-Files was the only show my mum let me stay up late and watch with her at 2:00 am.  The truth is out there already.  How about another season of The X-Files?

Do you want Al Gore or Haylie Duff read a book to your children?

We all know reading to children is good for them.  When we are busy, we can count on Al Gore or many American actors to read to our children.  It is not a dream, my friends.

This week's flyers are here

With Target's departure from Canada, we didn't get its weekly flyer today.  I don't think we will get its flyer anymore.

My mum's Wednesday TV schedule - Jan 2015

Wednesday is the day for Arrow.  My mum won't miss it even it is not a new episode.  From this January, my mum has a new favorite Wednesday TV show.  It is a miniseries from CBC.

Target is moving out of Canada

Target just announced today it is going to close all 133 stores in Canada.  As many as 17,000 people will be out of work.  Oh, my, Target just entered our Canadian retail market for around 2 years.  Sadly, it failed to compete with Wal-Mart to win our money.

Export or import my Blogger blogs

I just learned how to consolidate my two Blogger blogs into one.  Now, I don't have to go back and forward anymore.  I didn't know having all my blog posts and comments stored in my computer would be so easy.  Many years ago, I tried with Yahoo but I couldn't do it.

My mum's Tuesday TV schedule - Jan 2015

Everyone who watches prime time TV knows that January is the time we get new TV shows.  My mum checked out some of the shows yesterday.  But she wasn't contented with them.

Noto Sans CJK is not for picky users

Although the mission to search and download free Chinese fonts for commercial use is completed, my friend is not 100% satisfied with the Noto Sans CJKTC (Traditional Chinese) from Google Noto Fonts.

My mum's Monday TV schedule - Jan 2015

Yes, I know.  Today is Tuesday.  Well, as you all know, I'm a procrastinator.
Anyways, my mum loves watching TV at night.  So, we all watch what she likes or we just do something else rather than watching TV.

Free Chinese fonts for commercial use


Yes, my friend downloaded her free Chinese fonts.  But it was not easy to get high quality ones.  Maybe because Chinese fonts are difficult to create?  Then, if anyone made the fonts, he or she may want to sell them for profit.

Today is a great day. I can, and I did.


What a beautiful speech!  Gina Rodriguez!
I love what your dad always said, too.

It's not easy to get free Chinese fonts for commercial use

All my friends know I helped one of my friends get a free handwritten Japanese font (My blog post: My small achievement of two days ago).  They also know I downloaded high quality free English fonts - Overlock Italic and Overlock Regular (My blog post: Free English fonts for commercial use).  Suddenly, I became the person to look for free fonts among my friends.

Free English fonts for commercial use

I have been searching for free fonts online for over 2 months.  While doing this search for my friend, I also looked for free English fonts for myself.

Well, I don't know when I will use my fonts, so, I only want free fonts for commercial use.  This is also the same criteria for me to look for fonts for my friend.

My small achievement of two days ago

As a procrastinator, I'm so proud of my small achievements.

Even I am so proud of what I have done,  it took me two days to write about it on my blog ......

Haylie Duff's massage the kale leaf technique

Today, I happened to have time to watch CTV's The Social and learned one cooking tip from Haylie Duff.

Yes, I'm a procrastinator

I admit that I'm a procrastinator.   
In September 2013, I created my first blog " Money saving blog for Canadians ".  
 I tried my best to make it my online shopping aids but I procrastinated my blogging.
