Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Other TV Trivia Game Shows Similar to Jeopardy

I have enjoyed Jeopardy since 1984 with Alex Trebek( RIP) as host. Just recently I have followed the Chase hosting by Ken Jennings also on ABC. I was curious what other TV shows are available similar to Jeopardy.

In the link below are 10 TV shows available for Streaming on Hulu, Netflix and other streaming sites. One on the list that I have enjoyed are the shows How to Become a Millionaire and Jeopardy-the Greatest of All-Time.

"When it comes to game shows, only a few have the prestigious legacy of NBC's Jeopardy. Started back in 1964, it's likely more well-known thanks to its revival, which premiered in 1984 with Alex Trebek as the host. The brainy series, which fields a series of historical, literary, and pop culture references to its contestants and requires them to answer in the form of a question, is both smart and accessible, intellectual and broadly-appealing. It's hard to find too many games shows with that crossover appeal. But Jeopardy has done it, and it gained a massive audience thanks to that celebrated mixture".

Here are some game shows you can watch and/or stream if you love Jeopardy.

Jeopardy: The Greatest Of All-Time (Hulu)

If you're a Jeopardy super-fan, then you'll definitely want to check out Jeopardy: The Greatest Of All-Time. In this spin-off game show, which is also hosted by Alex Trebek, three of the long-winning Jeopardy contestants — Ken Jennings, James Holzhauer, and Brad Rutter — compete against one another with a top prize of a million dollars, as well as the claim that they're the GOAT (Great of All-Time) of Jeopardy. The show ran for four episodes back in January of this year, which means that it's a pretty quick binge if you want to check it out. All four episodes, which aired on primetime on ABC, can be found on Hulu. Check it out to find out for yourself who is truly the greatest Jeopardy player of all-time — though there's a chance you already know the answer to that one.

Stream It On Hulu.

Fruit Trees in the Gardens of Chateau Du Mer

The Mango Tree-I have three varieties in my Garden-The Indian, Guimaras and Carabao Mangoes My caretaker/gardener informed me last month that due to the El Nino drought in Marinduque, two of my Durian trees died in spite of his vigilant watering. One of the tree was attacked by insects that looks like a big fly but yellowish in color that sucks the sap of the seedling. The roots of the other tree was attacked by ants residing in the soil. However, my other fruit trees, the rambutans( 2), the lanzones(2) and the jack fruits ( 2) trees are doing well. The above eight fruit trees were given to me by Retired General Recaredo Sarmiento of Boac and Lucena., about three years ago. General Sarmiento is the “atid” of my wife. “Atid” is the colloquial term for brother. Evidently, Macrine's father, the late Bernardo Jambalos was the Godfather of General Sarmiento during his baptism and comfirmation. Gen Sarmiento's hobby is orchard planting, reforestation and farming. The other fruit trees in my garden are guayabanos, cashew, avocados, starapples, duhats, ates, guavas, mangoes( 3 varieties) and papayas as well as several varieties of bananas . Of the above fruit trees, my favorite is the guayabanos, also known as soursop tree known for its anti-tumor and anti-cancer properties . The following are photos of the fruit trees. The Durian photo is from the web. Note that it almost look like a jack fruit tree, except that the leaves are bigger and shiny. My desire is to have a passion fruit tree in the near future. You are welcome to visit my orchard and flower gardens any time, if perchance you are in the vicinity of The Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort and Conference Center.
