LADY RESCUED FROM BIZARRE FLOOD CONDITIONS IN DOMINICA

The Hurricane season in the Caribean starts from June to November and when you think nature will keep in line with what it has given us... it comes back again to say, "Hey... I'm back!!" and there is not much we can do about it. Heavy hurricane flood conditions came about just after the hurricane season 2018 and to our surprise, brought back the likes of what Hurricane Maria did to us during the Hurricane Season of 2017. It brought some serious floods and many persons lost their lives because of the dreaded floods. Now, we are back to square one and mother nature is back for some more punishment.

KALINAGO TERRITORY 8 MONTHS AFTER HURRICANE MARIA PASSED THROUGH DOMINICA

One of the saddest state of affairs is when mother nature comes with her full force to bring havoc to a nation. Not just a nation though, but a nation full of life and vibrant people! Last year, Hurricane Maria, swept through the Nature Isle of the Caribbean, Dominica, leaving it in utter dismay and destruction. The persons living on the Island were shocked at the sight that they woke up to the next morning as they sifted through the destruction looking to salvage whatever they could. A few months down the line, persons have been working tirelessly to ensure that they could somehow bring back a certain level of normalcy and eight months later, here we are in the Kalinago Territory.
The Kalinago Territory, formerly known as the Carib Territory, is situated some what north yet eastern side of Dominica, where the Amerindians(Caribs) settled. After Hurricane Maria swept through the island, a number of individuals were very concerned about this part of the small but mountainous island. Many individuals came to the aid of the Kalinago people and some assistance and some progress has been made. However, the question still stands, 'Are the Kalinago people, and Dominica by extension, ready for the upcoming Hurricane Season 2018. The season, my friends is less than a month away and this is what the Carib Territory looks like eight months after the Category 5 hit the island.
This video was pulled from Mystelics Vlogs May Day 2018 Island Tour and goes more into depth from a ground level as to what the settlement looks like at present. If you would also like to see the Aerial View of what isn't seen in this video, please do so by clicking HERE.

First Ever Triathlon Race in Dominica

Now I am 99.9998% sure that most, if not all of you, know what a Triathlon is. So for the remaining 0.0002% let me try to explain this. A Triathlon race entails three possible segments within one race that would involve the athletes to do numerous things. IN this particular Triathlon, it involved swimming, cycling and running. Depending on the skill-set of the athlete, he or she can either do all three and/or each segment of the race can have it's own athlete within that team.
A number of Caribbean countries including Martinique and Guadeloupe merged unto the mountainous landscape of Dominica and prepared themselves for a race that would begin on the south westerly side of Dominica to the North Westerly side of Dominica. The first ever triathlon commenced at the Dame Eugenia Charles Boulevard in Roseau and terminate at the Cabrits National Park of Portsmouth. Participants engaged in swimming for the first leg of the triathlon, where they swam from Fort Young to Pottersville. The Second Leg of the race involved cyclists from the different countries then riding from Pottersville Savannah all the way to the Rejens Hotel, which is at the entrance area of Picard, Portsmouth coming into Portsmouth. Then the third leg comprised of the running aspect of the race. Runners ran from the Rejens Hotel to Fort Shirley also known as the Cabrits National Park. It was said that Dominica's imposing landscape, a jumble of volcanic mountains, paved in billows of explosive green rain forest, makes it the perfect adventure island for adventure seekers as well as providing a real good competition for explorers and athletes alike. This made Dominica very much suited for this race to test the limitations of its participants. The Jurassic Park without all of the dinosaurs. Have a look at the short video recollection of the event below

RECAP of 2014: BrBpTV Compilation

OH MY GOODNESS! 2014 has come and gone like Usain Bolt breaking yet another record at the Olympics meet in stunting-ly quick fashion! Okay, I must admit, it did take about 365 and a quarter days to complete but let's face it, at one pointing time, we were just celebrating New Year's 2014 no? Yes we were! and as my mother would say, "Just the other day". Now we are coming to the close of that same year in what seemed only to be the twinkling of an eye(kind of reminds you of the rapture doesn't it? ;)). I spoke to a neighborhood friend of BrBpTV yesterday, and she said, "Soon enough we will be celebrating New Year's for 2016". Time truly does not wait, no matter how much we may try to slow it down it just does not want to wait. Talk about impatience right? hehe. I'm kidding. The year goes by and bye each time we take a breath and this is why we ought not to waste time frontin' the little stuff. Make moves of make excuses. Sometimes, I say that I am dreaming... please tell me I am dreaming! Considering that trend of thought, we may dream dreams but let's make sure we dream them into reality by allowing our actions to follow suit. Because one thing that the time passing of 2014 has taught us is that talking is just that... talking.
Surely, 2014 has been unknown like any other in Dominica and Dominicans as well as all those who partook in what she(Waiti Kubuli) had to offer knows for certain that 2014 has brought about an unforgettable time. We, at BrBpTV, pride ourselves in the promotion of positive vibrations so we tried our best to cover as much events as we could that fosters what we are about. For this cause we are looking back at 2014 and "vibezing" on some of the greatest activities that took place that year. We had a lot to look through but in the creation of this Episode Compilation we managed to bring you FIVE categories that stood out this year which made 2014 so memorable. We do hope that you guys fall in love with this Episode as we did. Have a HAPPY and Prosperous 2015 and remember, by God, to make 2015 count.

Dorney Park Adventures Rides Edition

And of course, the Adventure does continue and should not end!!! Well... that's the way I feel about it because we had so much fun that day. As most of you saw, in the previous episode, where we showcased our adventures on the different water slides that we were able to go on at WildWater Kingdom in Dorney Park, there is also the ride section! Yes! and the good thing is you pay only one price and you get the full package. Talking about the full package for all our viewers and readers out there who plan to go to the park, there is a little secret in going to the park and of course I will share it with you. :) The secret to the park is the timing that you go there. Now if you go to the park after 5PM you will pay much less than paying for it online. However, the only turn to that is, the water park shuts down around 6-6:30 if my memory serves me right but the roller coasters are there to be handled for much longer. That's the secret however, if you want to ensure you go on all the water rides then going a bit earlier would be ideal.


Back to our topic, The rides section is filled with roller coasters, ferry-wheels, turbines and lots more that are just too numerous for me to mention. Dorney Park is such a wonderful place because we got to do it all in one day. The thrill and that of the imagination, the rides gave an anticipation that should make you a bi nervous, in a good way, because you are always uncertain of what to expect. I went on previous rides like these at Six Flags Great Adventures but the nervousness of each drop, twirl and each twist still gives you a little fright and of course that's what makes it so much fun. Living life on the edge... the edge of yoru seats that is. In my mind, I thought I had it covered and when we went on the Hydra the Revenge roller coaster, that pretty much changed. HaHa... and as you will see in a few moments of watching this episode, I clearly was a bit... excited on that particular roller coaster ride.

I'm giving you guys first hand experience of what it looks like to be on these rides and of course you will share with me as we share with you the adventures we took. I must say thank God for the people he made who made and developed the GoPro. It captured the shots wonderfully! I had the GoPro Hero 3 strapped to my chest and therefore you will get to see what I saw. Hearing the different feedback from my friends who were with me at the Amusement Park also helped to reiterate the enjoyment and thrill that I've said so far. Do have a look at our adventure

Dorney Park Adventures Part One - Water Slides Edition

Often times, we, as Dominicans, have heard of the great adventures taking place overseas due to what is being advertised on television and one of those great adventures take place in Dorney Park, Allentown Pennsylvania. Now, don't get me wrong, we as Dominicans are not to unfamiliar with these things because a few years ago, Coney Island came to Dominica to give us a little understanding of what these types of adventures entail but on a wider scale, we(those who haven't been overseas as yet) mainly get to see it on television or on the internet. Of course, we, BrBpTV, are always dedicated to bringing you all different activities involving Dominicans on island and Dominicans abroad. There is a saying that goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do right?" Well, we're not really into that. :) When in Rome, we Dominicans do as the Dominicans do and that is to come together to do what? To do something that we are not accustomed to do when we are in Dominica.
So... we are taking it to the United States! In 2011, I went with some friends to SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURES in New Jersey, but this time I teamed up with a few more people who live in the United States and Canada, to do the famous Dorney Park in Pennsylvania. This was was quite different from the other and if you ask me to make a comparison between the both of them? Dorney Park takes it hands down!!! Yes, we got to go to mroe rides and to different departments of the Park(both the water park section and the rides section). Teaming up with your fellow Dominican in a different land is always ideal for me and I sure all my fellow Dominica massive at large would agree. In this Webisode of Episode, we will be focusing on the Water Slide Section of the Adventure and showcasing to you at first hand experience of what it really feels like to be on these things. Dorney Park is my new favorite place for these kinds of adventures and until something proves to be better, then this is it for me. :) Do enjoy your first part of the Dorney Park Adventures, The Water Slides Edition. Next Week we will be bringing to you the Dorney Park Rides Edition so also look out for it when it happens.

Six Flags Great Adventure

The weather conditions was very conducive to those who love the outdoor activities and surely we could not let this opportunity pass us by. It is specifically during this time where you will find many families and friends join closer to spend more time with each other. Whether it be through the participation of activities like visiting the beach, scuba diving, travelling, partying, playing games, hiking and simply just enjoying a time of fun and happiness, nothing is to limited around this time. It is for this cause Six Flags was brought about.

Everyone wants a chance to do something spectacular, especially during the summer holidays when every avenue seems to be screaming out your name. During the Labour Day weekend celebrations, we were unsure of what we should do. There were so many events going on it was hard to decide but we came up with an idea. Why don't we do something that we have not done for a while. Six Flags came up and we set out to do it. A group of us from Dominica, the Nature Isle of the Caribbean, planned on going to the Adventure Park to have a good time together seeing that we had not seen each other in a long time. Unfortunately, due to some unfortunate mishaps, some of them could not make it but the few of us who were there made it to Six Flags.

We will meet up with the others at another appointed time but, as of right now, the show and fun must begin. It is the fun times during the summer months that we will always cherish knowing that by summer end, a good time had been spent. This summer was 'jampacked' with different events especially during the Labor Day Weekend of 2011 and for this cause Six Flags was an ideal way to kick start it. With the great rides and roller coasters at our disposal, this opportunity could not pass us by. Have a look at the video below to see how it went.

Beach Fun Lime

It is another holiday here in Dominica and everybody is heading down to the beach. Yes, can you believe that there are days set a side, here in Dominica, just for people to take a day off or two, to go to the beach? In fact it's called a Beach Day. I have never heard of this kind of thing happening anywhere in the world, aside from the Caribbean, where this happens. Keep in mind I am talking about a time where there isn't a global holiday like the summer holidays. I think this is a good move made out to the Caribbean people whereby more time can be spent with families and friends and I think the developed countries should take note of this and do the same. Reasons because sometimes, we are caught up in our own activity that we don't even notice when a family member or friend is falling behind or is feeling neglected especially when that person feels like they don't have a voice. This type of holiday causes one to catch up with their loved ones and bring back the sense of belonging to each member. Not only that but here in the Caribbean, we pride ourselves in out social experiences. It is always a good and great time when holidays happen. Meeting new people and having a good time is what Caribbean people stand for. If you think I am lying, simply Google 'Caribbean people' and see the results that you get. :D I live in the Caribbean I think I know a thing or two about that.


Here today we have a group that goes by the name of CareBik. This group, an automotive group, aims at creating different events while promoting safety and protection among automotive enthusiasts. Not to long ago, before this club developed, the members lost someone who was very close to them. He was an enthusiast who died by an bike accident and it is for this cause CareBik was developed. They created concern on the matter that safety and protection is important so that a lost like this could not ever happen again.
On the beach day, they created the Beach Lime and it is on this day, they took to the streets to bring entertainment, stunts, food and socialism to those present.  Fun, Socializing, Cars, Bikes, Stunting... this is what you would expect in an event held by this group. Promoting realness and positivity is another step taken by the youth of the community of Portsmouth so continue to support this movement and have a look as to how it went down.

Touring the Nature Isle of the Caribbean - Dominica

Nature is something that can be found all over the Caribbean but none as quite as exuberant and breath taking as the one and only Nature Isle of the Caribbean. The un-tampered mountainous island is known as Dominica. Filled with its luscious rainforests, rugged mountains, emerald rivers, tall waterfalls, hot springs and radiant rainbows everywhere, leaves it filled with its natural essence and beauty. It is said that if Christopher Columbus where to come back to the islands that he discovered, he will remember Dominica because of its gloriously unchanged natural habitat. What better place is there to be than to be in the freest, most relaxing place in the entire world than Dominica? Come to think of it, whether you like Nature or not, just being on the island is a relief in itself. The cool oxygen and the birds singing sweetly in the rainforests, will definitely give you a peace of mind. These truly are the finer things in life.

Exploration is a part of the understanding of the natural habitat and has its advantages to never disappoint. So to all those hikers, rock climbers, and persons who love the outdoors, Dominica is definitely your island paradise of exploration. It is said that the grass is greener on the other side, but in this video it is clear to see that there is no other grass greener and luscious and pure as the Nature Isle of the Caribbean. Taking pride in what it has to offer with friends and family members is also key in making the exploration of Dominica even more the merrier!! The goofier the friends , hehe, the better the adventure to having as marvelous, life changing experience.

Titiri Festival FUN

When we think of Caribbean, Nature and Festival, we think of one place and one place only and that is Dominica. These three things go hand in hand and are the pinnacle of what the Caribbean Isle is truly all about. For persons living overseas, when they think of the Caribbean, they think of festivals, paradise and nice beaches. Well, you are in luck because this is exactly what we will be showing you here today. This is one of the many reasons why the Caribbean is so popular and sort out from around the world. Its uniqueness in festivals also differs vastly from other festivals across the globe and one thing that makes it unique, is its people. Wherever Caribbean people are situated, there is that feel of the Caribbean Culture in the environment of which they are a part of especially when it comes down to festivals. It is said that, it is easy to locate a Caribbean person, at a party, based on how they move and that is very true because we can actually dance! :D


Festivals in the Caribbean range in variations to each and every Caribbean Island and that is influenced by its people and the values in each and every culture. One of the festival that takes place in the Caribbean Island of Dominica on the beach is none other than the Titiri Festival. It is one of the many festivals that is highlighted and this time we are in the community of Layou where it is usually held. It is all about the Titiri. For those who do not know, Titiri is actually small fishes that are usually found in groups known as schools. Like that of any normal fish, persons catch these fishes and use them as food. The creativity of the use of this fishes is why this festival is so important to the people. Why? because you get some really delicious delectables for a small price -Titiri cakes, Titiri ackra, Titiri pudding, Titiri lasagna, Titiri pizza and lots more meals and tasty dishes. These are just some of what I've tasted and let me tell you, they are absolutely phenomenal to the taste buds. Wow! Trust me, everyone wants Titiri and you can tell by the vast amount of people at the event. It's like magic all over again. Believe me the eats are indeed scrumptious let not your heart be despondence. Along the eats, the atmosphere surrounding the Titiri is that of fun and excitement with the riding of ATVs, bikes, Zip-lining, Kayaking,Sports and of course Music. Who knew there could be so much fun surrounding tiny creatures? In the night time, there are live bands playing on a stage created on the beach and everyone comes together to live in the excitement of the time to enjoy good Dominican music. Why is Titiri so important one may ask? Well... have a good look and see.

Exploring the Nature Isle of the Caribbean

Part 1

The Caribbean Islands are filled with many different styles and classes that makes each of them uniquely divided from each other. For example St. Vincent and Grenada are known for their richness in spice and nutmeg and upon my last visit, the water too tasted a tad bit spicy... honestly. In Barbados, they are known for their flying fishes, Dominica for its un-tampered natural habitat and places like Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago for their styles in music just to name a few. In each of the Caribbean Islands, the people are usually adaptive to their God given resources and try to utilize it to the best of their abilities and this in turn, contributes to the people's way of life and standard of living.
In this episode, the Nature Isle of the Caribbean will have the spotlight of today, via amateur camera. We did not plan to do this but still decided to share our journey with you. Exploring the nature in the Nature Isle of the Caribbean is quite an phenomenal adventure of the outdoors in itself. There will never be a place in the entire world like that of Dominica which is filled with its mountainous ranges, waterfalls, rivers, boiling lake, hot springs, trails and much more. All these can be found on this tiny island only 29 miles long and 16 miles at its widest. What makes the adventures in Dominica fun, apart from the way the natural environment makes you feel is the fact that once you are with your friends and family members, there is absolutely no better surreal feeling. Sometimes, you also get to meet new people along the way and end up making long lasting friendships along the way and this in turn adds to the true definition of human socialization. THE NATURE, PEOPLE oh... and the fun = The experience of a lifetime in paradise. Is there any better?




Part 2

Screws!!! Like the Romans, when in Dominica, do as the Dominicans do...they go screwing and by screwing I mean they go to a place called Screws. The nicest, irie-est, chill-est and most relaxing spot on the island, and the Caribbean by large, is none other than the Screws Spa located in the bottom-center of Dominica called Wotten Waven. Screws Spa is surrounded with a lot of trees which means that there is a lot of oxygen in the area as well. Not only this but the water is sulfuric which has been told to have healing properties. A perfect mixture of sulphur and oxygen adds to, not just a fantastic experience, but also a rejuvenation of the mind and body and brings peace to the natural soul. Seeing this on the video below is one thing but it does not come close to you actually having that experience in person. Just in case you don't believe what I am saying listen to the testimonies of those who are in and have been to the Screws Spa. Hear what they have to say.
