Richard again

So after the storm many parts of Belize suffered from lack of electricity and water. But people who didn't suffer too much are sitting at home complaining about how they don't have electricity. It is understandable as to why people would get mad about water because that is a vital part about life but electricity. The day after the storm people were calling in on the radio complaining about no light. There are other people out there who lost their homes and everything they owned and all you care about is you light and tv? We survived long ago without electricity and I'm sure we can again for a couple of days.  And we should also take that time to think about those who don't have anything at all.

Richard

Richard was just a category one hurricane, but did he do so much. Of course we had some tree and lamp post fallen but there was much more. Many people lost their homes while other homes collapsed. Watching news, my heart goes out to all those people trying to pick up the pieces of their lives. Lets hope that in a situation like we are brought together rather than pushed further apart.

Joke

So there are two crazy men at the crazy house. The chief decides he'll let go the one who seems to be normal again. So one day number two jumps into the pool and starts drowning because he can't swim, immediately number one jumps in and drags him out of the pool saving his life. The chief decides to let number one go for this heroic act. The chief gives number one the good news but sadly reports that number two died and that number one's effort was useless. Number two hung himself he told number one. But number one said no he didn't. Number one said after he pulled number two out of the pool, he hung him out to dry.

Duets

If you haven't been watching duets all season, you have been missing out on some good talent. Last night was the finale and it was certainly one of the best ones ever. All three duets brought their own thing to the stage and they were greatly appreciated. But just one duet found the hearts of all Belizeans, and they were Jeremy and Earlyn. These two had some serious talent and truly deserved the ten thousand dollars. And of course, we cannot forget channel 5 for giving us these wonderful shows.

Change

The only constant in life is change. Nothing else in life will ever be constant no matter how much you want it to be. If we don't like change, we better get used to it because it is inevitable. Change may be hard to go through but in the end it happens for a reason. In most cases for a good reason. It might just take us ome time to get used to it that's all.

Dia de Las Muertos

So Dia de las Muertos is day of the dead in spanish. Which is basically halloween in english. The Spanihs culture takes this day to celebrate those who have died and passed away. They make prayers to them and set up tables with the deceased's favorite food and drink or by their grave. There is a whole lot of respect in the spanish culture and I think we could learn a thing or two from them

Halloween

Halloween . . . the day we loved as a kid because we got to dress up and go trick or treating. Now that we're older, we still get to do pretty much the same thing but with different trick and treats. However, did you ever think about what Halloween means? Its also known as All Hallows' Eve, mean the day before All Hallows, which is All Saints. That is a Christian celebration that not many people care to remember once they've had all their fun. Halloween is just another holiday that was faded into a multimillion dollar industry. I'm not saying Halloween isn't fun but just think about this the next time you go celebrate.

Better Life

Have you ever seen the commercials from the Foundation for a Better Life? Well, if you haven't, they are beautiful little commercials that try to remind us about courtesy, friendship, respect and other values we tend to forget about in this day and age. We probably have all seen one, but how many of us actually make up our minds to go out into the world and make a difference after seeing these commercials? Not many, and that is sad. There is one showing a young man give up his seat for an elderly woman on the bus, when do you ever see that happening these days? Chivalry is dead as they say, but we should really bring back all these values in life. Its just some more food for thought with hope that some day we wake up to all the things around us.

Columbus Day

Columbus Day celebrates the day Christopher Columbus walked onto land that was already found by someone else and decided to take credit for it. Its like celebrating for bullies who take advantage of people. But do we really care who founded the land or not? As long as we get the day off then no one cares, no work or school for that day. But it just puts a whole new perspective to the holiday. Just some food for thought the next time your celebrating another holiday. Try to learn who or what gave you this day off. =)
