Mark took this vid of me playing around with the mics. Tomorrow is the premiere of MORNING GLORY! I got some news that something is going to happen on Wednesday so stay tuned for that!  

I got up at 6 am despite going to bed around midnight last night. I stayed in bed for a bit watching reels on Instagram and got out at 7 am. I took a shower and got ready for work. I made breakfast, which was just a cinnamon roll bread (which I still need to talk to you about) with crunchy peanut butter and jelly. I thought about how last week I didn't wash my clothes, so I've been using things I don't normally wear.  I put it off until almost 8 this morning but I went up and put my clothes in the washing machine on the third floor. I always set it to "quick wash" even though it takes 55 minutes. I set the timer for that long and went to hang stuff up on the roof. I still had the keys for the door on the roof and the apartment that Fr. Antonio gave me. So, I didn't have to bother Mark for his keys to open the door. the view up there is very pretty. I remembered my blog and decided to share it with you.  This is the Divine Mercy Church next door, and the highwa...

Was Calma Mi Alma or Be Still My Soul in English. It was the last episode and I got to hang out with the guys at work before the show. It ended at 9pm but I still stayed up long after it was over. I even cooked ground beef and ate it with some chips. Check out the show here:  https://fb.watch/mL6-TWm7I_/

  It might be a bit hard to see but the little purple dot is a piece of a flower an ant is carrying. I saw it while waiting at the Mount Carmel Parish Yesterday. I thought it was cool and wanted to show you. 

  I'm still working on getting people to do a little interview for a post World Youth Day video. Yesterday I stayed in Benque and recorded Fr. Beau! I asked if we could do it from the choir loft and he said we could! After his amazing recording I took this pic for the blog 😁

I went to some thrift stores or "pacas" in Melchor today and got this cool shirt It was just Q1.00 or around $0.25  BZD so I had to get it and I hoped that it fit. Good news... it did!!!!

Eh.  I'm not a big fan of regular popcorn. Buying this one was mostly because I wanted to try it. It was okay but I wouldn't buy it again. I'd rather a cheese chips or pringles for a snack. 

Well actually yesterday. I started writing the post yesterday. I left it to watch Star Wars the Clone Wars. 😁 Here at Guadalupe Media we are still recording pilgrims that went to World Youth Day 2023 for our feature story. Today I recorded Ms. Ashley Gillett  I asked if she was okay with taking a picture after recording, and she said yes. I want to post some of the pics on YouTube community. This was one of the pics I sent to Mark for him to see if the recording looked good. The above one is the final shot.  This one is how it looked before. off to the side looks better because it looks more like an interview, which it kind of was, even though I was not on camera, and you couldn't hear me.  We're planning on recording someone from Benque next. I'm going to record them but with a phone this time.  Stay tuned to see who that person is. 

Last night I was watching instagram reels and I came across this : www.instagram.com/reel/CvvHuhVtne_/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link An instagram reel that peaked my intrest. If you know me or have read some of my stuff you'll know I'm into rock. So I opened spotify and found a couple of playlists like this one https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3MGkjqpqSwncNrpArhHpiA?si=bf901b5efc534eb9https:// Needless to say I found out last night that I'm a Divorced Dad. Guess I better start wearing jean shorts 🤣

At Brodies they usually put out a different fruit each day. A couple weeks back I saw a couple slices of this... Check this out! A yellow watermelon! I forgot the actual name that was on the label but check out the skin!  I just thought it was cool.

So, I've been working for some time here at Guadalupe Media. I've recorded shows before like Pray or Die and Healed Whole and Happy , but I've always been on the second camera. On Monday I was asked to record on my own. It wasn't a big deal. I've seen it done a bunch of times. I was confident that it would go smoothly.  I'm happy to say it did!

Check out the video on Guadalupe Media's...

Beyond Basic returned for Season two with returning host Tessa Habet and new co-host Loreto Pelayo. For the last week of the show Loreto was not going to be there. He had to go to World Youth Day in Portugal. So, he left the show short of a person. In addition, Tessa and the whole crew were having a hard time getting a guest for the last episode of the show.  I had agreed to be on Wing it, another show that Tessa Hosts, on Thursday of that week. Come Wednesday, we had a meeting on the phone with the whole team in a car. We were brainstorming ideas of how to have a season finale. It was sounding like we were not going to have one until I said we could move my recording to Friday and have a mashup of Wing it and Beyond Basic. Problem so...

I'm not sponsored first of all.  Since I moved to Belize City I've had to wash my own clothes. I felt that no detergent gave them a nice lasting smell so for weeks I tried out different products and a while back I found a nice one I want to share with you today... enjoy!!!!!
