Disappointment, disapointment!
That is all you see on the faces of the poor souls that had to endure through that train wreck that took place at the MCC grounds last night!  Building hopes with promises of Big Stars and tantalizingly exciting performances, just to break them down with just the bare necessity!.  This was a disgrace and it brings me back to the incident of this Strut the Tarmac fashion show that was suppose to take place so many times over and have still not yet happened! I repeat, I'm still waiting to see this extra-orinary show that was promised by the people of BBN!!!! It is frustrating to know that these people, as big as their brand is, would try to pull this scam over on the people!.. The worst part of it all is that i had already payed for the ticket and the guy refuses to refund my money. If that is not facey then i don't know what is..i have had it with this so called entertainment industry in Belize!!  The onus is on the people that got cheated!! 

Will you sit back and take it? or will you stand up and do something about it?!? 

blogging.....

okay, i started blogging a few weeks ago for a class, but then i quickly began to enjoy it!...It's always exciting when you sit in front of the laptop, a million ideas running through your mind and you can't wait to start writing but do you ever realize how all those ideas just disappear the minute you actually start writing?  I call it being tongue-tied on paper..lol.. But anyways, here i am yet again..many ideas with no where to start! 

Does this ever happen to you? and if yes, what are your ways to get the creative juices flowing again?

......life

All of us have had that person in our life that we feel we can't live without.  We would go to extremes just to make sure that they are happy and that they remain in our lives.. i can think of many situations where i have sacrificed who i am and the way i behave to please someone else...and that should never be the case...

we are commonly scared of losing someone. but what is better? losing someone? Or losing yourself for someone? THINK...

He Only Takes the Best!

God watched you as you suffered,
and knew you had your share.
He gently closed your weary eyes
and took you in his care.

Your memory is our keepsake, with
that we will never part.
God has you in his keeping, we
have you in our hearts.

Nothing could  be more beautiful
than the memories that we have of you.
To us you were someone special.
God must have thought so too.

All our lives we shall miss you, as
the years come and go,
but in our hearts you will live forever,
because we love you so.

God sawyou were getting tired,
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around ou and
whispered "Come to me"

A thousand times we needed you,
A thousand times we cried,
If LOVE alone could have saved you,
You never wouldhave died,

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard-working hands laid to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best!

I will never forget you.  you are an extraordinary woman of boundless energy and strenght.  I'm sure your making God's day a bit brighter in the same way you always managed to brighten ours.

I love you forever and a day :)
See you  soon :)

Horoscopes?!?!

Many people depend on horoscopes to  tell them what their day, week and month will be like, what they should do, what they should not do and what to expect.  It is a growing trend especially among teenagers but is it the real deal or is it just a bunch of nonsense?

I would say it fell in the middle of that measure.  It is neither completely acurate or is it totally inaccurate.  The thing with horoscopes are that they are aimed at a general audience.  Have two people with the same signs ever read their horoscope on the same day and they both said different things? No,  because horoscopes are generalized for each sign.  No two individuals are alike and these horospes are tailored to fit and exact personality that the sign should possess but doesn't always possess.

Some people allow horoscopes to determine the pace and modd of their entire day and this is both a benefit and a cost.  Sometimes horoscopes aid us in being positive and sometimes it points us straight in the direction of negativity.  So the onus is on you now. 

Allow it to control your life, or use just the positive of it and know you are the master of your own destiny.  :)

I Wish He Knew

        By Miranda

 

The friend I fell in love with
The dream that never came true
The pain my heart has suffered
Over the love he never knew.

I wish he knew of my love
Of my hope that will never die
My heart that will never heal
The lonely tears I sometimes cry.

The words I wanted to tell you
The things I should have said
The emptiness I feel inside
Each day filled with dread.

I wish you would hold me close
Your arms around me I could feel
So all my wishes would come true
And all my dreams could be real.

 

 

 

I found this poem, and immediately liked it. :)

This is most often the case, ladies, if you like someone tell them, they can't read your mind and guys, most ladies don't like to make the first move..look for the signs and act on it :)

 

Don't wait until it's too late to do anything about the way you feel because the you have more regrets if you had the chance to say but you didn't then you have to watch them walk away.

Stealing~~:O

I believe that everyone is given what they deserve.  They work to get what they want.  What i do not understand is why people steal?    How can they live each day knowing that they have cheated someone out of hard earned money?  Maybe they do i for the rush, just to see if they can get awway with it.  Maybe they do it for survival, things are hard and some people are not presented the opportunities that others are. Finally, maybe the reason is to make money.  These days you can steal anything and sell it for at least half its value in the black market.

Either way, stealing is immoral and wrong.  We are all trying to survive, that i understand but when we have to go the ends of depriving someone else that have worked hard to provide for them self and their family, that i will never understand!  Go out and make an honest living!  Go out and create your own opportunities! live within your means!  Stop lusting for stuff you don't need just because you see someone else has it!  This is one of the reason our country is going down! DISTRUCTION, DISHONESTY, PRIDE, LUST, GREED!!When will we wake up and realize we are provided for, we are cared for, all we have to do is submit to a higher power( and i don't mean te politicians!)! Have a little faith people, mircales do happen if you really believe!  WE are given what we need by God, not what we want!

Hell Cats :)

This is officially my new favorite show. Hellcats takes you into the lves of cheerleaders.  It shows you how cruel and manipulative girls can be.  It is a clear picture of the lack of boundaries.  These girls will go to any extreme necessary to get what they want most, the spotlight!

These girls are a clear example of the drive and dedication you must have to make it where you wanna be in life and love, minus the vindictive behaviour.  They are like hunters, they spot their pray and then they attack, no fear, with everything they've got.

Happy Birthday!

A Mom gives hope
When life is low
A Mom's a place
Where you can go
A Mom is honest
A Mom is true
A Mom is precious
My Mom is You

Happy Birthday to YOU
Happy Birthday to YOU
Happy Birthday , Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to YOU

I find myself wondering...
Did I give you your due..
For all that you've done for me
Did I ever thank you?

For all of my childhood memories
For helping me deal with life's stresses
For helping me accept my defeats
And celebrate my successes?

Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
Good judgement, courage, and being true
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared
Did I ever thank you?

If I have forgotten, I'm thanking you now
You taught me right from wrong....
I hope you know how much you're loved and appreciated
I hope you, instinctively, knew all along.

Happy Birthday mom!

La Ruta Maya River Challenge 2011!

The La Ruta Maya River Challenge is a grueling race that is held annually in remembrance of Baron Bliss and his love for the sea.  It commences at 6 am in the Macal River near the Hawks worth Bridge in San Ignacio and ends at the Bridge near Save-U supermarket.  Imagine spending four days in a 20 foot canoe, under the scorching tropical sun, paddling at 70 strokes per minute for 6 hours, for a total of 180 miles in the Belize River. Think you would be able to handle it?  This is why I have to applaud those Belizeans who were brave enough to take on this challenge for 2011 and also for all the past participants.  It shows courage, perseverance, drive and character. 

This annual race also gives families a reason to get out of the house and spend some much needed quality time together.  So turn off the television, paste on the sunscreen and set a journey to follow these brave participants to the finish line.

Special encouragement goes out to our very own teammate, Bobby Dee Usher, and her team coming from the Jaguars Club.  We wish you all the best love. We are behind you 100%. (also special thanks to the pit crews along the way) <3 J

~~! ~~Stress Busters~~!~~

As women, we tend to become stressed out very easily. Every level of womanhood comes with its own problems.  On this level, as college students, we tend to face stress whilst trying to cope, manage and balance our school life with our home life whilst still trying to have a fulfilling social life. The trick though, is to learn the skills of how to manage stress effectively and efficiently because the symptoms of stress can have a bad effect on your health both mentally and physically.

So to aid in this process I have put together fsix stress busting methods that all women can follow to achieve a happier and healthier you. J

1. Change Your Situation

This is one of the number one ways to manage stress in your life. If you don’t like the situation you are in change it, if you can.  Try to resolve whatever it is that is bothering you. Find a trustworthy person you can talk to.  Learn the fine art of letting go and moving on.  You just need to focus on the issues that are causing your stress, whether those issues have to do with money, relationships, jobs, or even family.  The first step to changing your situation is accepting your situation.  Once you’ve accepted what is bothering you, then you can do something about it.

1. Exercise

Exercise is good for both your physical health and mental health. It is a great way to get stress relief.  Not an exercise fanatic? Well, you can do something as simple as taking a walk to clear your head. It stimulates the production of endorphins (Chemical substances produced by the body that make you feel happy and exhilarated). Exercise alleviates feelings of depression and anxiety, which only add to your stress.  So exercise is not only good for you, but it makes you feel happy.

                                       

3. Have a Balanced Diet

Let’s be honest with ourselves for a minute.  When we are stressed we do not eat that well.  We either load up on carbs, or we just don’t eat enough.  Starving yourself makes your body weaker.  It lowers your metabolism and aids weight gain.  Never let stress push you to eat unhealthy.  Make sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, it helps you to beat the tired and logy feeling and helps you to better manage your stress.

4. Sleep

Stress often causes changes in sleep patterns for women. Either you oversleep or you don’t get enough sleep. Either way you get up feeling irritable and tired the next morning.  It is very important that you get a proper night’s rest.  The body needs at least 6-8 hours of sleep to function properly throughout the day.  It will make you look younger, make you feel more relaxed and give you a subtle glow, which will in turn boost your self esteem and reduce your stress level. Your body will thank you for it. J

5. Invest in a journal

Journals can be used for writing out your thoughts.  Holding your emotions in is very unhealthy and can lead you to blow up on the most unsuspecting people.  It gives you a chance to release your emotions without having to confide in someone (for those who have trust issues).  It can also help you decipher what stresses you out by giving you an inside look into what goes on in your head. J If you’re afraid someone will see it, simply rip out the page after you’ve written and dispose of it. J

6. Relaxation

Do things you love to do and things that help you reach your point of relaxation.  Some women enjoy a hot bath others like to cuddle up with a good book because it helps them to escape reality a bit.  Try to keep positive with your methods and do go on any binges. (Ex drinking)

Remember, change is the only constant in life and even though you may feel overwhelmed by stress now, happiness is just around the corner.

The Lord never gives us more than we can bear. J
