Oh, I Saw Something!




                                    

Something I had not being seeing
Something I had refused to see
Was I blind before?
Or had something happened to my foresight?
I had refused to see something that was vital
I had chosen to focus on what I wanted to see
And that was what I was seeing


My eyes were wide open yet I could see nothing
I was happy seeing what I was seeing
Until I realized that I had a problem with my sight
Not my physical eyes
But the ability to see deep inside a person (thing)


But when I began to see,
My thoughts and mindset changed
I knew what I really wanted and wanted not
I began to see my inadequacy
Which no one else had seen


It took SOMETHING to make me see
But I’m glad I saw something I didn’t see
‘Cos it changed me for the better.

This Is Your Choice



Oladele Bolatito - Nigeria

Why did he bring us here? After promising us heaven and earth…..we shouldn’t have listened to him.’ Those were the complaints of my classmates after we arrived in the hotel where we had the intention of lodging for two days during a tour. They were complaining because they were grossly disappointed by the state of the facilities on ground at the hotel. I was quite sure that some of these people had never lodged in a hotel before but yet they had expectations. ‘Expectations’ which I think they derived by watching some adverts which had given them an idea of what a hotel should be like. Now, I couldn’t help but watch and listen to their agitations.

A certain set of people in my class had been chosen to handle the planning towards this tour. So with the feedbacks they were giving us from time-to-time, we all had our hopes raised so high. Only to get there and have all our hopes shattered like a glass. One other reason why I think our high expectations were raised, was that our lecturer had given us some series of lectures on the course which was on Tourism and Recreation Planning. We had being taught on what had to be in place for one to participate in tourism, so we thought we knew all we needed to know.

I think at this point, I would like to ask a question- ‘on what basis are your expectations about people, places, situations, events, etc’? Are they just based on some other person’s view which you learnt about or even on your own view which you had ‘selfishly’ coined without thinking beyond. Someone once said that- ‘A man is limited by what he knows’. In my own view, I think that my classmates could have just looked out for that aspect of the place where we were that could have been made use of to their benefit. Instead, almost everyone was feeling bad and refused to enjoy the moment while it lasted.

Due to the fact that I loved listening to the news (current happenings around the world), I chose to sit back in my room (which my other two roommates had deserted because they were ‘bored’) and watch the CNN. I made a choice of not allowing the situation around me to determine how I feel. How I wish that others could just make the most of such advantages around them instead of whining about what is/is not happening, what someone a has done or is not doing this. I believe we all have a choice in how we feel; you can choose either to feel either good or bad regardless of what is and what is not. It all depends on you. The choice is yours……………….

Speaking With Brtish Entrepreneur, Film Producer & Author Matthew C Martino




I’ve been speaking with Mathetes Chiwai, better known by his stage name Matthew c Martino, a film producer, author and retired actor;
Wikipedia  Profile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_C_Martino

As a film producer, author, entrepreneur and a person with a very strong passion for aviation, you seem to be an individual of many talents, now the question is how do you manage all of that?

Yes I do have expressed interests in various trades and I guess there isn’t a real answer as to how I manage all of them, 2 things that I have found that help is prioritising, sometimes I have a few things that all seem to need to be done urgently and I have to choose which one is more important. The second being that I have a strong team behind me who support me and ensure everything runs smoothly.

From your various profiles, moreso on Wikipedia, I understand you’ve written some books such as Lets Fly, Go for it/Be your own boss, how did you get into writing?

I first started writing back in 2011 as I used to have trouble sleeping, so writing in a notebook became a hobby and with Lets Fly I started it off by writing down flying tips and stuff my flight instructor used to tell me, so when I began writing I then formatted this information into a book.

Now, when we talk about the film industry, an industry which has made you what you are, is there one or more thing you think would make the film industry better and what would it be?

Indeed I am grateful to the film industry, I think the biggest issue the industry faces is lack of funding to assist startups in the industry, once you’re established in the film industry you have investors and distributors lining up to assist your production however a film student will struggle to make their mark.

In your experience, what would be the most important advice you could give a filmmaker starting out?
My biggest piece of advise will be learn,learn and learn! You can never know enough in the film industry so its important for someone who is starting out to learn all they need to know about their desired path in the industry.

It’s amazing how our successes can get us noticed having perfected them from our failures. What failing experiences have you been able to learn from and did they make you want to do it right at another chance?

Yes there has been quite a few, I think one of my first business ventures F5 Air which was a private charter firm which I think I went into without enough research and preparation and hence the businesses failed and if I could go back there are so many things I could have done differently with regards to running that business.

Celebrity Chat With Emerson Reyes – Founder Asonga Radio Television

”Chat has been translated to English, Chat originally in Spanish, Spanish Translations included; Resource: SDL ; Equatorial Guinea Press”

Emerson, You and I are both in the Television & Radio business so ‘m going to be delving into the cores. As the Founder of  & Producer Asonga TV and Asonga Radio, creative and founder of the program “DJS LIFE” for television and the production company XL TV AND ENTERTAIMENT, the producer is in charge of both the creative direction as well as the business aspects. In television, the producer’s role varies depending on the format of the television production. Producers of sitcoms and dramatic series are frequently the writers/creators. Producers for news programming tend to have journalism backgrounds. Talk shows and game shows also have their own unique hierarchy.
My First Question, As the founder, what’s the history of Asonga TV and Asonga Radio?
Asonga for me is a reality that I played live and of which I am very proud, create the know-how of a medium of communication in a country is a big thing now that I have been a part in one way or another of the social and cultural growth of Equatorial Guinea, Thank you very much for the confidence placed in me by The President and the administration of ASONGA RTV, it seems to me a very noble project that his only concern has been that the youth of the country who devotes his time to study this profession, I can count with two means of communication to the height of the other countries, in addition apostadondo much for aesthetic reasons, a journalistic line neutral, programs International programs and events with national talent.

Para mi asonga es una realidad que me toco vivir y de la cual me siento muy orgulloso, crear el know how de un medio de comunicación en un país es algo muy grande ya que he formado parte de una u otra manera del crecimiento social y cultural de guinea ecuatorial, 
Agradezco mucho la confianza puesta en mi por parte del señor presidente y la administración de ASONGA RTV, me parece un proyecto muy noble que su único interés ha sido que la juventud del país que dedica su tiempo a estudiar esta profesión, pueda contar con dos medios de comunicación a la altura de los demás países, además apostadondo mucho por la estética, una línea periodística neutral, programas internacionales y programas hechos con talento nacional.

and that leads me to  – How did you choose to be a producer ?
15 Years ago when I arrived in Spain as an immigrant from my country Colombia, I felt that toward lack a means of communication for the entire Latino community, a radio with good music, advice from lawyers in the field of immigration, local sporting events, festivals and of course the support to all Latino entrepreneurs that were investing money in the country and is where, in partnership with a Spanish businessman rode FIESTA FM MADRID.
After this adventure takes us to bring the international television in several countries of south america, this brings us to fit a tv producer and dedicate ourselves to creating content of value and submission in several channels in Spain.
I have become a producer of radio and television first for the love of the profession and second by the need to communicate and create content of much value to an audience who needed a means of communication that create sense of belonging and closeness with the countries of origin of all immigrants.

Hace 15 años cuando llegue a España como inmigrante desde mi país Colombia, sentí que hacia falta un medio de comunicación para toda la comunidad latina, una radio con buena música, asesoría de abogados en materia de inmigración, eventos deportivos locales, fiestas y por supuesto el apoyo a todos los empresarios latinos que estaban invirtiendo dinero en el país y es cuando en sociedad con un empresario español montamos FIESTA FM MADRID.
Después esta aventura nos lleva a traer la televisión internacional de varios países de sur américa, esto nos lleva a montar una productora de televisión y dedicarnos a crear contenido de valor y presentarlo en varios canales en España.
Me he convertido en productor de radio y televisión primero por amor a la profesión y segundo por la necesidad de comunicar y crear contenido de mucho valor para un publico que necesitaba un medio de comunicación que creara sentido de pertenencia y cercanía con los países de origen de todos los inmigrantes.

Asonga TV Radio is now  one of the biggest radio stations in Africa broadcasting from Equatorial Guinea to most parts of the world, It has become so huge, how did you go about achieving the success?
 
The success of Radio Asonga, has been well defined the objective, well-trained young people who are part of the team to create a good clock musical programming, devote time to the program structure and according to my point of view the creativity of the channel adds and awareness campaigns.

El éxito de asonga Radio, ha sido definir bien el objetivo, formar bien a los jóvenes que forman parte del equipo, crear un buen reloj de programación musical, dedicar tiempo a la estructura de los programas y según mi punto de vista la creatividad de las autopromos y campañas de sensibilización.

As a celebrity Journalist, News anchor and Actress, I’ve worked with other famous actors & celebrities, I’ve interviewed Football Stars, State Governors, Business Tycoons, Executives, Authors, Singers & Writers around the globe which will be the case for you, Who’s the most interesting or famous person you ever interviewed?

I have interviewed artists such as Shakira, Juanes, Eros Ramazzotti, Nek, Ricky Martin, hahahahaha many singers, actors and Djs, i’ve already lost the account, but the most important characters with whom I have shared a cab radio have been 3 girls of 9 years and 1 child of 10 years with the that toward a radio program which was called the CLUB, and you can’t imagine the things that you can ask and the answers that can reach to give children, has been perhaps the most attractive experience of my entire career.

He entrevistado a artistas como Shakira, Juanes, Eros ramazzotti, Nek, Ricky Martin, jajajajaja muchos cantantes, actores y Djs, ya he perdido la cuenta, pero los personajes mas importantes con los que he compartido una cabina de radio han sido 3 niñas de 9 años y 1 niño de 10 años con los que hacia un programa de radio que se llamaba EL CLUB, y no te imaginas las cosas que pueden preguntar y las respuestas que pueden llegar a dar los niños, ha sido quizá la experiencia mas atractiva de toda mi carrera.

For someone who is brand new to Television and Radio production or documentary filmmaking, as a Top Producer, what would you say is the number one, TOP thing they need to learn?

It must be clear what they really want to make in the media and have patience, at the beginning not everything goes as one wants.
It is very important to be well prepared in all areas of production as this allows you to define concepts and not to lose the final goal.

se debe tener claro lo que realmente se quiere hacer en los medios y tener mucha paciencia, al inicio no todo sale como uno quiere.
Es muy importante estar bien preparado en todas las áreas de la producción ya que esto permite definir bien los conceptos y no perder el objetivo final.

Just before I let you go, you are at present rolling with Djs international of electronic music throughout the world, I know that, tell me some of your rolling stuffs?

 Dj’s LIFE has been a personal project, which has a lot of hard work and a lot of travel searching for the best Djs of the disco music at the international level and the best of Spain as a whole, we are thinking to keep on visiting several countries in search of all the DJ’s and the most spectacular festivals.

Dj´s LIFE ha sido un proyecto personal, que ha costado mucho esfuerzo y muchos viajes buscando a los mejores DJ´s de la música disco a nivel internacional y los mejores de toda España, estamos pensando seguir recorriendo varios países en busca de todo los DJ´s y de la fiestas mas espectaculares.

Interview With Shaunte McFarland, Child Advocate & Author


 
Hello Dr. Shaunte McFarland, Some Wonderful woman I have out here, :p I Know you or let’s say I know what I know, now let’s be fair to others, let’s meet Dr. Shaunte? Tell us about you…
Hi everyone. Well, I’m the realest, tell-like-it-is, without being hurtful, friend that you’ve ever met. I’m a small town, country, woman that’s managed to keep it simple in a complicated world. I’m also a teacher, child advocate and women’s minister.

Oh My! I went through some of your memoirs and they were so fantabulous, ”Cinderella Still Going To The Ball” and of course ” Seven Days of Redemption” and then this statement struck chords. I thought wow..
”This exclusive glimpse is implicitly triggering for survivors of physical, emotional, and/or sexual abuse. This inspirational memoir takes a quantum leap into uncharted territory. It incorporates a pleasant contrast as a story of strength, forgiveness and grace. Its tenacity will endow you with the strength to forgive, accept and ultimately leave you bolstered with the profound hope in the redemptive power of Christ.”

What are the concepts into these beautiful pieces of writing, they seem to encompass so much of your experiences which you have really turned into that wonderful piece of shiny diamond and it’s so amazing, I see CHRIST playing the major role as it all unfolds, I like to know more...
 Yes, I was looted at the age of four. Polluted at the age of 13 and diluted at the age of 23. I went through my life not just accepting the horrible things that happened to me but accepting the idea that I deserved to be raped and beaten; that I was worthless. I fought back through accomplishments, thinking that if I earned enough awards and acknowledgements I could prove my assailants wrong. I was still empty on the inside, the thoughts and memories left me void. CHRIST is the one who saved me in my adulthood; He took me on a look back at my life so I could see just why I needed salvation and how gracious and precious His gift is. And now that void is filled. I’m worthy because He said I was worth it.

I also see that child advocate personality shown through your writings and styles, how do you go about the empowerment factor and cultivation of women and children?
I work with children who have been victims of sex-trafficking, physical abuse and have committed murder. I do not condemn or treat them any different knowing their past. But I inspire and uplift them to heal from their past and continue to live a full and accomplished life. I have compassion for them because I know how it feels to be rejected, working with me, they know that they are accepted and have hope of a bright future. After all, I used to be them. I don’t share my entire story with them but they know that I had it hard but I made it and they can too. In 2012, I started the non-profit organization CJ’s Friends to provide clothes and shoes to the children of homeless families. Currently, I am a member of several organizations that support my passion like the National Empowerment Program for Women and Children in Liberia and Court Appointed Special Advocates or CASA here in Hawaii. I am also collaborating with Ashley Williams, of iamnotmylaundry.com, to host an annual women’s conference here in Hawaii. We are holding sessions on financial literacy, spiritual health, and physical wellness.

I’d really encourage women worldwide to follow your bog writings, Have you got upcoming projects we should look forward to and what about any of which you are currently dedicated to?
 Yes I do. I have a devotional, Seven Days of Redemption, that will be released on Christmas Day. It will be gifted to all of my subscribers free of charge on December 25th. It will really prepare and propel women into their new season. I am anxiously awaiting the release of my inspirational memoir, “Cinderella’s Still Going to the Ball”, women that have got their hands on the preview copy have called and emailed me, telling me how it changed their life, how they were bound by their abusive past and have been set free. I was overwhelmed by the responses I got. Women have witnessed to me in tears telling me about their story. They were still so wounded but the power of God was helping them to recognize it and finally heal. Some have agreed to share their story on my site and I am looking forward to publishing their stories to encourage even more women. They will get to see the Cinderella story through so many lenses. Stories can be anonymous or not and sent to drshaunte@shauntemcfarland.com.

I have to do this and this is where experience takes the seat, this is where knowledge takes the seat, and expertise takes his seat and then CHRIST takes the MASTER SEAT, kindly fling out all the pieces of useful advice I could get, mothers could get, fathers could get, children could get, even youths, the world needs this..
When Cinderella first met the prince, she was in a breathtaking ball gown, her hair and makeup was perfect, she wore the most beautiful and skillfully spun glass slippers. Basically, she was flawless. But when he came to her house she had on tattered, dirty garments, a servant’s apron, her face was smudged with cinders and she didn’t own any shoes. The Prince saw the truth. He saw who she really was; a rejected, neglected, needy nobody. And he walked over to her boldly, put the glass slipper on her foot and gave her a place in his kingdom. That’s CHRIST in our lives. We are all rejected, neglected, needy nobodies in need of a Savior. And CHRIST seeing our past, flaws, hurts, and sins says, “Come, I have prepared a place for you.”

The Battle So Far





Timothy Abegunde - Nigeria

This time, it wasn’t a dream non a trance;
I wasn’t feasting as I would have love to,
The arena for the battle was set in reality…

I found myself in the centre of life’s heavy weights champions
As I wondered if the subtle clash was a vision or happening in its authenticity,
I tried to walk out of the battle-ring to watch as a spectator…

Though slowly but with maximum coercion, delay drew me back…

Responsibilities shook me and I staggered weakly,
Silently within, I planned to throw in the towel…

Rejection yet gave me a force-filled slap and
I collapsed…I wished all had been a joke.

But no…
I cried, shattering on the platform of challenges;
Desiring that family and friends should help my wrangle
See…I saw you wrestle too, I couldn’t call

Still in the battle arena of reality
I saw financial demands approaching me hurriedly
‘I’m a way too young for you.’ I wailed.
But no…
They trampled on me with huge booths of dogmatism

Altogether, the titans of reality crushed me
And I felt I would never make it

But no…
Hope…Hope…Hope cries within
‘Christ in me the Hope of glory’

I had not warred in the fight, for ignorance chained me.

I implore the defensive,
‘The name of the Lord is a strong tower,
The righteous run into it and were saved.’
And straightway, the stings of self-condemnation and defeat dissolved

Then, I explore the offensive,
‘At the mention of the name of Jesus all knee should bow.’
I cried out the saving name and the oppositions begged out

And yes…
In the quest against the giants of reality,
I was gradually re-energized…through gratitude and thanksgiving

But…

The battle continues…

What’s more…
The Lord of Host assured me of victory on His side.
