Animal Territory - Videos

2012-03-23T02:26:00.001-04:00

These videos were taken at the Emperor Valley Zoo, which I visited with my mama on Tuesday. The zoo only had a few patrons so it was nice.

This guy loves attention and his roar can be heard throughout the zoo. He was standing still when he saw us, but decided to give me a little masculine strut.

This beautiful kitty is absolutely spoilt, ran towards us immediately, began rubbing on the fence and walked away about 15 seconds after the video.

I just could not resist their red behinds.

I love birds and this guy was just too much for me to handle. He was totally laid back until he saw me coming. I spent about 10 minutes in that section, and he just did his show throughout our time there.Loved it!

This creature was already in motion when I got there.

Mom wanted a break so we stopped by the goat and rabbit pen. “Twinkle Toes” was minding her own business when I asked her how she was doing. (I’m assuming it’s a girl by the name.) She looked at me, opened her ears, then glanced at my mother eating and jumped up. I guess she’s used to doing that.

The rest of videos are just calming moments. I love fish.

This slippery dude was napping when I first past by, made a rounds, came back and it was still in the same position, (like them all), but you know me. A little quiet coercion.

These guys are just serene. They did a graceful dance for my video.

2012 Release

Like seeds falling from trees and bee pollinated flowers, the old must make way for the new.

Thus, the cracks in the ground and infertile soil shall recover; wrongs will be made right; good will prevail and evil will be trodden.

2012 is here.

Be My Valentine

2011-02-14T19:16:00.000-04:00

Among the hassle and bustle of the day, I had a wonderful moment during the afternoon period, which was a very excited 6 year old who could not wait to hug and wish me Happy Valentine’s.

Of course she had to let me know what she got on lovers day and what she gave. She got a heart shaped pillow from her daddy and she gave her mom a heart pencil. I told her that’s really sweet and I could tell she loved being a part of the day, but what stood out for me was what she said on leaving the office. “My mommy told me I’m her valentine’s gift.” All I could say was “oh oh,” that short sentence really touched me.

I spoke to her mom about this conversation and she told me that her daughter was so happy about receiving a valentine’s gift (the pillow), that she actually made a note of it in a book saying “thank you daddy for the valentines pillow.”

Sure it’s a commercial day and love is all year round but this little girl made valentines for me. Majority of the people here are from broken homes, she’s no different, but it all boils down to this, there is nothing like family and the willingness to share and give love on a special day. Who said Valentine’s Day is only for lovers?

This is it…

My name is Bridget which means strength and my three names each have seven letters, 777. Three represents divinity, seven means perfection.

I know who I am… I know who I am… I know who I am… I am Bridget!

Here are some pictures; they don’t look like much since you really need to be in the middle of it to understand.

My Xmas wish to you: May light fill your life not only for Christmas but all during the year. Be blessed with family and good friends and may your days be filled with an outpouring of love. Merry Christmas!!!

I leave you with a taste of Trini music for the season. Enjoy!

I got up this morning and glanced at the clock and to my amazement I woke up 40 minutes late, 7:50am. Now I have a habit, I hate the hear my alarm clock’s annoying beeps so sometimes I wake up 5 to 10 minutes before it rings, switch it off or I may hear it, switch it off and fall back to sleep and this goes on every morning.

Don’t ask me what happened today, can’t remember. All I know is I had to readjust my routine. I did everything I needed to do except eat breakfast, so since this is the most important meal of the day, I drank my breakfast instead. You heard me… I drank breakfast this morning, had a glass of homemade banana punch and had a nutrient drink at the office, then later ate something solid and ¡Ay, caramba! It worked.

To top it off, I arrived to work my usual 30 minutes late (please do not attempt this at your workplace) and we won’t even open yet. Booyah!

Behind the Words

2010-11-09T20:32:00.000-04:00

At my present job I’ve been told some really strange things and called some really strange names. I’m used to being called weird and boring. I’m not into the partying lifestyle and when asked about my personal relationship I tend not to answer. In terms of intimate details or sometimes simply if I’m seeing someone, I’m not going there; they don’t need to know that, you know it’s private. So they say I’m weird and boring and I need a life, but they will find themselves in my weird and boring presence for more than half an hour, more than once a day to pester me.

Recently though, I’ve been told I have an old soul (ok I knew that), but I was told that because I was not excited about certain products that most young people would be crazy over. Yesterday I was told I have a quiet finish. Can someone explain to me what the hell is a quiet finish? What is that some sort of polish?

To explain some of these comments I must talk about sex appeal. I said it already and I get it; guys are attracted by what they see and I have no issues with that. Come on, it’s natural. I however have received some really outrageous remarks from men and I’m talking about from a youth to adulthood. That’s why when I walk in public I tend to have a serious expression. Most of these comments don’t get to me as I could careless, but sometimes depending on what is said, I would be upset.

Another problem I have with some men that are accustomed to me, is touching. They don’t seem to understand the term ‘do not touch me’. There is a saying that when a woman says no she really means yes. Well I have a newsflash for those who believe that. When I say sternly “do not touch me” but it does not register the first time, when I say it again I’ll be pissed off and if the third time I have to repeat myself, somebody gonna be running and it ain’t gonna be me.

I’m simply saying guys think before you speak, gain some class, learn etiquette and to the ladies, there is no need to go with the flow or follow the crowd, have some self-respect. Men cannot take advantage of you unless you allow them to. We might be the weaker sex, not as physically strong as men and we may not win all the battles, but if we learn to care about who we are and see merit within ourselves, men who understand value will appreciate us more and men in general that come within our presence, will respect us.

Time to Say Goodbye – Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli

When I'm alone
I dream on the horizon
And words fail;
Yes, I know there is no light
In a room
Where the sun is not there
If you are not with me.
At the windows
Show everyone my heart
Which you set alight;
Enclose within me
The light you
Encountered on the street.

Time to say goodbye,
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
Now, yes, I shall experience them,
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall experience them.

When you are far away
I dream on the horizon
And words fail,
And yes, I know
That you are with me;
You, my moon, are here with me,
My sun, you are here with me.
With me, with me, with me,

Time to say goodbye,
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
Now, yes, I shall experience them,
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall re-experience them.
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall re-experience them.
I'll go with you,
I with you.

It’s getting crazy at work. Everyone seems to be annoyed with everyone else and in all honesty, I’ve been laughing at the madness all day. Believe me, we are feeling the pinch and it’s just beginning. I told my co-workers weeks ago what to expect so we’ve been geared up for it more or less, but for some reason I feel this Xmas will be tougher than previous years.

If you wish to meet a group of people who seriously do not look forward to the Xmas season, yeah that’ll be us. Did you notice I said Xmas instead of Christmas, umm hmm, XXXXXX, that’s because we want it over a.s.a.p. Sounds dismal I know, but we’ll get through it once we don’t kill each other first.

To top off the craziness, I misplaced my calculator while packing up this afternoon and began a mini episode of, ‘Bridget Gone Mad’ trying to figure out who the hell would steal a 17+ year old calculator, to then discover I placed it in my desk draw. It has sentimental value ok. It was given to me Dec 1993, so it means something and I always take care of the things which I love.

In any case, I am home now and comfortable, until tomorrow for another dose of the ‘Mad House’ in the workplace.

I’m so irritable, I hate when I’m moody topped off with tiredness. I’ve been snapping at my co-workers and friends all day, it’s a good thing they know me well enough. They don’t even bother with my moodiness and would still harass me. Oh they’ll ask, “Bridget what’s wrong, who upset you, you had a bad weekend?” And those questions just add to it. Can’t I just be moody because I’m moody? Must it be linked to a situation? Of course not, I’m just moody. I’m allowed to be moody right? Yes I am. And by the way I had a perfectly fine weekend.

Ever notice it’s the little things that get to you most? After running around all day, I get upstairs to the office minutes to four, and my black ink pen decides to stop writing. You know, like it just had a mind of its own to annoy me. So I’m sitting there looking at a blue ink pen dreading that I have to use it, picked it up and began to write and in my mind I’m saying, “I can’t deal with this, I have documents I need to finish in black ink.”

Better believe I’m praying for a miracle yet again, because I seriously thought that was my last black ink pen. My co-workers are always taking my pens, so I tend to hide them as best I can in my draw. There I am digging away and Hallelujah!!! I found a black ink pen. That reminds me I need to order stationery.

Don’t ask me why I’m obsessed with black ink. I love writing in black ink, I just love black, period! It has always been and will always be an elegant colour far as I am concerned and because of that, at some point I must wear all black, which I do every Friday for work. Look, it’s my tradition which I’ve done for years and I will keep it alive. Black is beautiful.

You know what I could do with right now? Pitch black and utter silence. Ha! Not going to happen. Instead I’ll just unwind by watching a movie. See Ya!

After a backbreaking week at work, I am so thankful for the weekend. Though I have some serious rearranging to do, it’s October and it’s time to start my studies. I’ll be kicking myself in the bott if I put this thing off for another year, honestly I have no idea how I’m going to do this but I need to.

They say education is the key to success, I just hope I don’t break mine trying to unlock the door. God help me because I’ll really need a miracle, studying for a degree on my own will not be a walk in the park, but I know where I want to be and I’m going for it. I did not endure all that B.S. throughout the years to give up now.

Sometimes I wonder if I made the correct career choice going into business. In my younger life I wanted to be a mechanic, yeah I know imagine me as a mechanic right? I get annoyed when I chip a nail. Mom knew I had a brain so she suggested I do something that requires me to use it, so I chose business. Yah!

I enjoy dabbing into other careers occasionally. Writing, theology, psychology and computers, in that case it ain’t all bad. I guess I’m just naturally multi-talented, you know I got skills. I have a massive smile on my face when I say that. Well enough of me being full of myself, those are the other professions I’m really into, but I can’t do everything so they are just hobbies, for now. You could never know though, always expect the unexpected. I do love what I do, when I do it.

That reminds me of this song, Time of our Lives, ‘it’s hard to walk away from the best of days,’ ‘now the page is turned, the stories we will write.’ For real! I have a few in mind.

The sky will not be clear and blue everyday, so if it’s dismal, cloudy and pouring rain, bathe in it. Hopefully you won’t be struck by a lightning bolt but it’s still enjoyable, well for me anyway, I love to walk in the rain.

In any case, with my mindset to have a wonderful day despite the pain, today was cool. I was determined to kick any hiccups to the curb and you know what? There were none, which was absolutely spectacular. Tomorrow is another day however, each day has its own moods but I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Tonight, I’m watching a movie and taking it easy.

Contemplation

Ever wonder why feelings are so confusing? You find that you are doing or saying the strangest things with no idea why and then you ask yourself, ‘what am I doing?’ When you think about it though, you just can’t help it.

It’s like wanting something, but it’s not something you are accustomed to or would even think about wanting. Yet, you are drawn to it and no matter how much you try to ignore the feeling, it’s pulling you in. Normally it would not matter, similar things you’ll think ‘woo this is cool’ and that’s it, you won’t be bothered after that.

You know realistically this particular thing is out of reach but it’s on your mind like an obsession. You just want it to the point where it becomes a need and you begin to miss that it’s not there. You can safely say it has gotten into your bloodstream and there is nothing you can do about it.

Maybe it’s meant to happen, to bring some good into your life to change the way you do things, other than that, it would just be torture adoring something you know you cannot have.
