Pray .... Please!
The Sabbath ...... according to my dictionary ...... is the first day of the week ...... Sunday ...... observed as the day of rest and worship by most Christians ...... and ...... as I reflect on this day ...... I can't help but feel ...... like I was 'helped' (in ah kinda divine way) ...... to rest ...... and worship ..... cuz what else can one do ...... but rest ..... and worship ..... when fuh de whole blasted weekend ..... YUH EH HAVE NO BLASTED WATER!!!!
Is just last week I pay my Water Bill ..... fuh why?! ..... why we does really pay bills in dis country ...... why bother ...... utilities is dis country jus bloody wotless! ..... why we does be payin ah setta money ....... fuh SALT in return ....... ah chut man! ...... wuz de real scene?! ...... ah cyah take it!!! ..... is like ah goin mad!!!! ....... ah go explo!!!! ...... cuz if it eh ..... one ting ..... is de odda ...... if is not .... current gorn .... is no water ..... and if is not ..... water gorn ..... is no current ...... and den when current gorn ..... water does go too ..... LORD ..... put ah hand ..... on dis cursed land!!!

I give thanks ..... because my sufferation was bound to come to an end ...... but to some ...... that's their life ....... every day of life!
I give thanks ...... on this Sabbath night ..... and I pray ..... for Trinidad .... and Tobago .... and my sanity!
well everything that happens happens for a reason.....no water and no electricity means that you are praying ...that's a good thing and to see the glass as being half full...that's better too!!!

I decided to thank the almighty for keeping me safe and not suffering any losses during this weekend... I was still able to celebrate with my family a 50th wedding anniversary cause none of us got flooded out...
the losses I saw others experience all around me was totally surprising... as no one was prepared for the flooding...
it was a day to say thanks for what we had... even if we want electricity at the flick of a switch and water running as soon as we turn the tap... the almighty knows why we have troubles...

Isn't water a necessity and electricity for playing video games? Anyway, WASA has adopted the philosophy which says you only appreciate what you have when it's gone. It also teaches the irate to behave themselves
