Happy Mother's Day!

I must be one lucky girl, somewhat. Not only was I blessed with a mom of my own for eighteen years of my life but all during those years and even after my mom passed, was I blessed with many other moms. Thank you Leesa, Jackie, Teacher Ermay and Damita to name a few. You were always there when I needed someone to be there for me.

Mom, you may be gone but you will surely live in my heart forever! Continue to rest in perfect peace. You were the best mom a girl could have asked for and I miss you a great deal.

Happy Mother's Day to all moms out there!

The New Adventures Of Old Christine

It is no secret that I am not a Caribbean girl when it comes to my music and tv show choices. With that being said, I love the comedy tv show The New Adventures Of Old Christine.

Life is funny like that. Having a brother who still lives with you despite him being old enough to get a job and live on his own, an ex husband who is married to a woman with the same name as you, a weird son and a best friend who is crazy hehe.

Thank you Lifetime for bringing this show into my life. Truly cracks me up!

What do you think of this show?

What Is This????

After my first blog about the Water & Sewerage Company in St. Lucia things have yet to improve! We have had heavy rains for over a week now which has caused flooding and landslides in areas prone to them. We received a Facebook post which said the same as every other post saying that due to the heavy rains silt is blocking the pipes at the dam. For once that did not include something about busted pipes in communities or the treatment plant.

At this very moment I am pissed off! Being that it is a public holiday today in St. Lucia I decided to put some laundry to wash only to find a nightmare! My white laundry is now BROWN! Even after keeping the taps running for a while the water has yet to be clear. Of course I cannot drink this water, use it for cooking or doing my laundry! This is just like not having any water at all.

Pictures are worth a thousand words well take a look at the picture above! How are St. Lucians supposed to deal with this sort of service??? I know for sure we are tired and frustrated!

Best Blog Site - Necole Bitchie.com

I love blogging but clearly my posts are not as popular as Necole's! Plus, she gets to meet and are friends with the celebrities she blogs about! Lucky girl!

I follow her on twitter and I read her blog as often as I can. For someone who is outgoing and bold as she is she also has a soft and shy side! I was shocked when I found that out. She was shy to talk to fans live on ustream.

Necole I've tweeted it to you before and I will say it again, you are awesome chick! Keep it bitchie ;)

A New Tattoo! I Hope :-)

I always wanted a tattoo and someone gave me one as a Christmas present. Strange? I know! So I got a Chinese tattoo on my left upper arm which means "Love Yourself"

Let me tell you, it is true when they say once you start you won't want to stop after getting your first tattoo. Despite the disappointment from my parents which I really wasn't bothered with being that I was already over the age of 18, I was ready for tattoo number two which I wanted to be bigger and more extravagant. Sadly, my doctor advised that I do not put anymore for numerous reasons BUT, I am ready again after some years to get a new one. It will not be as big as I wanted the previous one to be but it will be (to me) sweet and have so many meanings to me!

It will not be the exact as the above picture but it will be close enough. Thankfully, the important people in my life first name start with J. They being myself Joand, my mother (may she rest in peace) Joan and my future husband, Jermal. Should we have kids, Jenay and/or Jermal Jr. (Yup, we already have names hehe). Jermal will be getting the same tattoo as well.

The question is, would I ever tattoo my man's name on me? Nope! I'm highly against that sort of thing. Would I want him to tattoo my name on him? Nope! Life is unpredictable so as much as you think or want to be with someone for the rest of your life it may or may not turn out that way. Then you're going to end up with a tattoo of someone's name you're not in a relationship with anymore. So, we're going safe by putting the first initial.

Lucky me that we have the same initials! Haha!

What do you think about tattoos? For it or against it and why?

Movie Review - Madea's Big Happy Family

While I ponder on the Osama news I take time to share my views on Madea's recent movie.

Having most of my favourite actors in one movie, I just had to watch it! With that being said I must admit that in some parts I burst out in tears and in others I laughed until my tummy hurt. Some parts were also extremely shocking!

I don't like going into detail about movies because I want my readers to experience it for themselves without me ruining the surprises.

It was definitely a 10/10 for me and I will continuously watch this movie especially for the very funny parts. Bow Wow, Lauren London and Teyana Taylor were awesome!

I would recommend this movie. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Osama Bin Laden Killed!

This has been all over the news, Facebook and Twitter that Osama Bin Laden was finally captured and killed in a mansion in Pakistan, President Barack Obama announced.

I am happy that he was finally captured and dealt with but at the same time I am scared for my St. Lucians who are currently living in the U.S. Honestly, how does the United States think Osama's followers will react to this news??? I fear that something worse than the events of 9/11 will happen! I really am!

While you rejoice America also say a prayer or two that a plan is not being sort out to kill you all!

Fed Up With WASCO St. Lucia!

It is expected that SOME TIMES a utility company may experience technical difficulties and for a short period of time may not be able to provide you with the service. This is not the case with the Water and Sewerage Company in St. Lucia.

Even before Hurricane Tomas hit St. Lucia we were receiving mediocre water service. Some may argue that we should not expect much from a company if the standard price is EC$7.35/US$2.71 per 1000 gallons. It is however still important to remember that the company is providing a very crucial commodity to our daily lives. As the saying goes "Water is Life" and therefore they need to understand that it is extremely important to have running water for so many reasons! Do I need to state this numerous reasons? I think not!

After Hurricane Tomas hit on Saturday 30th October, 2010 the service has become even worse. Most of the damages were done by the hurricane as pipes were busted due to heavy silt and there was some damage to the dam where most of our water supply comes from. Most of us stayed a few months without water and to date some communities do not get a regular supply at all and have to depend on rivers, which isn't really safe.

My argument is, should WASCO need to charge consumers more in order to provide better and efficient service then DO SO! We are tired of the excuses that pipes continue to burst due to some rain pour every now and then. As I type this right now I currently do not have running water at home, which I discovered after coming home from a hard day's work. The worst part of it is that absolutely no notice is given to the public until days after they have closed the pipes. I find this to be extremely unprofessional and we are all frustrated with this company and demand a change!

My fellow St. Lucians we need to take a stand! Let your voice be heard on their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/home.php?sk=group_162196610484862 <---Click the link

Sweet Aaliyah Dana Haughton

I am currently watching/listening to as many of Aaliyah's videos/songs as I can get my hands on. Her music touched me in so many ways as a teenager. 4 Page Letter gave me the courage to write my feelings for a boy on paper. One In A Million made me hope to find that special guy who would love me like no other. Try Again made me dust myself off and try again if I failed at something. We Need A Resolution made me a little wiser about disputes in relationships. More Than A Woman gave me the strength and courage to be a great woman. Then, Rock The Boat continues to this day to make me shed tears for her, as this was the last music video she made before her tragic plane crash.

You touched so many lives with your great music and your classic appeal. She was beautiful, smart and a great dancer. It's just a shame that all that talent had to be taken away from us at such a young age, but God always knows best.

Aaliyah Dana Haughton, you were an angel on earth. Continue to rest in paradise with God and the angels in heaven. We continue to miss you as if it were yesterday, more than a decade later.

I will forever listen to your songs and watch your videos because I was truly one of your biggest fans!

Birthday Dedication To My Love

I always wondered if I would ever meet that prince charming I read in the fairytale books and saw in the cartoons. I never thought it could happen with my bad luck in relationships. It is now safe to say that I have found my soul mate. The one who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time just by being in my presence, the one who knows exactly what I'm thinking without me having to say anything, the one who rocks my world, my knight in shining armor, the one who proved that not all men are dogs. I thank God everyday for bringing this man into my life. I have loved before but never like this!

Jermal celebrated his birthday on April 6th where we had a fantastic evening under the stars having a candlelight beach dinner. The entire month of April is dedicated to you babe. God made you just for me and I am truly thankful. I love you with all my heart and I know that he will continue to direct our path through life, together.

Happy Birthday Babe! Xoxo

Love,
Jay :-)

The Secret Life Of The American Teenager

I've realized that I have a love for teenage movies. I have no idea why especially at my age. Anyway! I love the drama in the secret life of the American teenager. I'd have to say though that if my child (not that I have any as yet) did half of the things these teenagers do I'd really sort them out, Caribbean style! In the mean time I'll keep watching this series.

Movie Review - "Mama, I Want To Sing"

I was not sure if I wanted to watch this movie as my favourite types of movies are comedies. I don't really read the storyline etc. about movies. As long as the name and actors interest me then I watch it. This time around I decided to see what singer Ciara had in store for me! I must say that I did not regret watching this movie. It was so touching at times and so real as well.

Amara Winter, a strikingly beautiful and charismatic young singer, is on the verge of pop stardom. Raised in the church by her father, Reverend Dr. Kenneth Winter and mother, Lillian Winter, Amara and her younger brother Luke have a very strong bond. After her father's untimely death, her mother is thrust into the limelight in the role as preacher, a daring move that ultimately catapults her to the top of the gospel world. Paralleling her mother's success, Amara soon becomes a huge star in her own right, taking the pop music world by storm. Conflict begins to ensue when her mother is confronted with and unequivocally disapproves of Amara's secular music and videos. Amara must learn to pursue her dreams while both navigating the often treacherous world of celebrity and striving to remain true to herself and family. Amara and her mother must work through their differences realizing that their journeys are not quite so different after all.

I must say again that I absolutely loved the movie and I think Ciara did a fabulous job!

Movie Review - "The Roommate"

I finally got around to watching the movie The Roommate. I heard it was a horror so I was kind of skeptical to watch it since I don't ever watch those types of movies. Yup, I'm a scaredy cat! I watched it during the day because I definitely could not watch it at night hehe

I must say the cast was thee best! I absolutely love Leighton Meester and she definitely surprised me! She acted as a psycho person so well! Her roommate also impressed me especially at the end when she took care of business. I also think she is very pretty! And her boyfriend was HOTT!

From what I've heard not many people were impressed with the film due to it not being as scary as they thought it would be but I absolutely loved it and would watch it again. I give it a 10\10! This also shows that college kids need to watch out for the roommate they may end up with. Be smart and do your research if you find something is weird with your roommate.

A round of applause for all of the actors! You did very well! Keep up the great work!

Have you seen this movie yet? What are your thoughts?

The Wendy Williams Show

I have not watched the Wendy Williams Show in a long time, mainly due to my busy schedule during the week but thanks to it being a holiday today in Saint Lucia I was able to watch it.

When this show first started I wondered whether Wendy was really a female. I'm sorry to say but she looks like a transsexual. I still love you regardless Wendy!

Anyway, I love her because she is REAL! She says what she feels and doesn't care if you agree with her or not. The hot topics is always my favourite segment!

Keep doing what you're doing Wendy!

What do you think about the Wendy Williams Show?

Trey Songz For St. Lucia Jazz Festival

My boo Trey Songz will be performing at Saint Lucia Jazz Festival this year! I am soooo excited! He's an artist I admired greatly and always wished to see him perform live and I do get this opportunity on Saturday May 7th, 2011 at Pigeon Island. Am I excited or what?

New Music Video - Gaza Slim Ft. Vybz Kartel

Although I'm not a Vybz Kartel fan I really liked this song "One Man" from Vanessa Bling aka Gaza Slim. Enjoy!

Celebrity Status - A Bit Out Of Hand?

As I glanced through the pictures of Kendall Jenner on Facebook and I read the comments under those pictures I just wondered has celebrity status gotten out of hand? And when it comes to the Kardashian/Jenner clan I think we've gone way overboard!

The way I look at it is that we idolize these persons who are actually just regular people just like us well with a lot more money in their bank account than most of us. My question is, why should we be so absurd in the way we treat them? We don't treat God that way do we? When he is the only being we should be so crazy about. I love celebs like Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Zac Efron, Monica Arnold-Brown just to name a few because of their talents but I am not ready to bow down to them, kiss their feet or behave absurdly to get an autograph! Sorry! You are REGULAR folks just like me!

What do you think about this? Have we gotten out of hand with this whole celebrity thing? Let me know what you think.

Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter to all of my fabulous readers! It was a four day weekend in Saint Lucia for Easter and I enjoyed every bit of the rest and relaxation and also the reflecting of what Jesus went through for us all!

Hope you have a fabulous week!

Xoxo,
Jay

"William & Kate"

Haven't blogged in forever but I just had to write about this movie I saw!

The whole Prince William and Kate Middleton story was turned into a Lifetime movie. Had no idea what movie I was watching as I had not seen the beginning then I heard someone mention Prince William and I was like oh my God! This movie was so touching and even left me speechless at times. I've never read any articles about them or listened to the news about their wedding mainly because I feel that they don't know me so why should I be interested but I wish them all the best with their marriage and future endeavors. They both graduated with honors so I know they will make smart decisions.

P.S. I still think Prince Harry is hotter! lol

Happy Holidays!!!

Happy Holidays To Everyone! All The Best For 2011!

Love,
Jay
