HAPPY EASTER!

  • Mood: I am happy!
  • I am wearing: All Black.
  • Weather: It is Sunny but very Windy
  • Greetings: Enjoy your weekend!

A Holiday Greeting!

To Everyone!  


Hello Everybody,

        I want to wish everyone a very safe and happy Easter Weekend!  Today is Good Friday and a very blessed day indeed.  I just got back from the doctor and my annual check-up.  My stress levels and my cholesterol are down.  I just need to continue eating the way I am doing now, which is keeping away from certain foods with too much sodium in them and I'll be okay.  I know that my weekend is going to be very busy because my aunt and cousin will be arriving in New York, today.  They are visiting from Cananda with friends and will be going back on Easter Sunday afternoon.  Every chance my family can have to visit New York is a blessing and it is going to be great seeing them again, especially my cousin.  I have not seen her in so long.  May you enjoy every moment of this weekend with your love ones.  Whether, you are going to church, the Easter Parade, an Easter dinner or Easter egg hunt with friends.  Thank the God above for allowing you to see another Easter and enjoy your Easter Egg Chocolates, I know I will.

Happy Easter,
Jonella

HELLO! IS MARCH HERE ALREADY?

  • Mood: I am not feeling well but I am still happy.
  • I am wearing: a black turtleneck and black pants.
  • Weather: It is Sunny and 53 degrees and wonderful!
  • Greetings:

Hello Friends!

    Well, I just thought that I should drop in and say hi to everyone.  Although, it is that time of the month, where I am in so much pain and is always exhausted.  I am doing OK .  At this moment, I should be resting in my bed but here I am writing a new post to you. 

     Right now, I am in the middle of researching small book stores/cafes, who may not have any knowledge about my upcoming book and I will be promoting it to them.  In the meantime, I am also typing Part. 2 of the She Saved His Panthorian Soul© Series into the computer.  Somehow, I still get the feeling that many people did not understand me, when I said that I am typing and editing my novels into the computer, so let me explain again.  I have many FINISHED, WRITTEN MANUSCRIPTS inside my bedroom.  All I am doing is typing(copying) every single story into the computer.  I am making each manuscript into a Rick Text File, so they can easily be uploaded to my publisher.  Yes, it is and will be a lot of hard work but I am going to get it done and with God's help, indeed.

     No, I will not be hiring anyone to help me type all of these books because I am a very private person and likes to do my stuff alone.  Some people think that I should type my ideas directly into the computer.  Instead of jotting them down on paper(wasting time) but I am a bit old fashion.  I like to write things down first, before I type.  Besides, the computer is in the Living Room and my ideas usually comes to me, when I am in bed resting, so I keep a pen and paper nearby.  I am always writing down ideas  as I have been doing for many years, before they are developed into a very exotic, romance novel.  Someone once said to me - "Oh sure, you wrote all of these books but are any of them, good?"  Well, are my novels any good?  I think so but you will let me know, won't you?  I want at least two or three characters out of every book to leave a lasting impression on your mind, where you will be talking about them for days.  I want to hear your views about my book(s) and the way they make you feel.  When She Saved His Panthorian Soul© finally comes out.  I will be looking forward to reading your reveiws about it with much interest. Thanks! 

 

    I watch a segment on TV about the GPS Systems, where some of these machines are leading persons to drive their cars onto back roads and dead ends.  Yet, people must realize that any product made by mankind will always have its faults.  Do not put your entire trust into GPS Systems because you have a brain, use it.  Let your instincts along with asking for directions and the GPS System help guide you safely to where your destination lies.   Stay cool and safe, people!

AN ANGRY APPROACH!

  • Mood:
  • Weather: It is raining

APPROACHED BY A MONDAY ASS!

Hi Friends,
    I have had a very angry evening.  Someone in my neighborhood saw this blog and they actually approached me today to ask a question.  How does he know that I am truly Jonella Beauty?  Only the God above knows and I quote:

The Stranger:   "Hello, you are Jonella Beauty, right?"

Myself:     "Yes, I am.  How do you this?"

The Stranger:  "Research.  May I ask you a question?"

Myself:      "Certainly."

The Stranger:   "How can you claim that you had written 37 books.   Despite, the fact that you black people cannot read or write too well?  You......"

Myself:    "EXCUSE ME!"

The Stranger:   "I just want you to answer the question." - End Quote.

       Taken by surprise, do you know that I just turned around and walked away from that rascist, white bastard.  I took a deep breath and thought of how people comes up to you for no good reason.  Who the fuck does he thinks he is talking to?  I have every one of my manuscripts inside differently colored folders and they are stacked up one on top of each other in my bedroom.  My family and my few friends know that I wrote all of my books over the years.  I was not even in this country when I began writting novels, so no asshole is going to come up to me and insult me like that again.  Trust me, if I had trully answered him.  He would have probably called the police for me by now.  I have learned to ignore many idiots like the one I met today.  And all of you know very well that if I was a white woman.  That stranger would have complimented me on my work instead.

       My friends, I have been told worst things by Caucasians and it has made me stronger.  Yet, today I was boiling over.  To be honest, the only reason that I did not commit a crime is because I know it is illegal.  That rascist, white bastard came up to me and said some things that I refuse to repeat on my blog.  He was so very nasty, ignorant and jealous that I will not tarnish my blog with his stupid words.  I am finally calming down now, but I will never forget today.

       I hope that he sees this blog and gets the message.  One thing I do know for sure is that I will be ready for the next person, who wish to insult the author in me.  I worked too long and fucking hard on all of those books over the years, so I dare any bastard or bitch to approach me again.  Accusing me of being a dumb, black bitch.  May you all have a good night! 

Take Care!
Jonella

The Jane Austen Collection on PBS!

  • Mood: I am happy, tired and I am going to bed.
  • I am wearing: my PJs.

LOVING THESE PBS MASTERPIECES!

Hi Friends,
    I have just finish watching part. 2 of Pride and Prejudice on PBS, Channel 13.  It was wonderful as expected like the previous Masterpiece Specials of Jane Austen's best-selling novels, which currently airs on Sundays at 9:00 p.m.  So far, I have watched:

1)   Persuasion on January 13th.

2)   Northanger Abbey on January 20th.

3)   Mansfield Park on Jaunary 27th.

4)   Miss. Austen Regrets on Febraury 3rd (so sad). 

5)   Part. 1 of Pride and Prejudice January 10th. 

6)   Part. 2 of Pride and Prejudice on Febuary 17th (today).

7)   The Conclusion of Pride and Prejudice on Febuary 24th.

8   Emma (Coming Soon!) March 23rd.

9)   Sense and Sensibility (Coming Soon!) Mar 30th - Apr 6th.

    I must say that Jane Austen has written these wonderful, romance novels out of deep desire for what she had lost.  The desire of a man's love.  All of these stories are happy ending, historical classics, which I love immensely.  It was so unfortunate that she only lived to forty-one years old and never got the second chance to love again.  All writters should be aspired by her work.  She wrote from her heart like I do today.  Now, who says that you must have a man's love to know what it is all about.  Have a good night everyone.

Take Care!

BOOK EDITING ON HOLD!

  • Mood: I am gasping and in shock.
  • I am wearing: dark jeans with a grey and yellow turtleneck.
  • Weather: It is raining heavily.
  • Greetings:

BOOK TROUBLE AGAIN!

Hi Friends,
    I was just informed that my editor had a medical emergency, so the last part of editing my book has been put back a little longer.  For how long?  I do not know but I am sure that my publishing team will update me soon about this situation, when they can.  I do have a great publishing company afterall.  However, a small part of me is angry because many people are waiting anxiously to read my 1st book and keeping them in suspense a bit longer may cause them to loose interest in buying it.  On the other hand, the rest of me is compassionate and understanding.  I was taught to always expect the unexpected in life.  Whether we like it or not, sad things do and will happen to us from time to time.  So, what is one more week or two, before getting my book back.  I will wait patiently, praying and hoping that my editor will have a speedy and safe recovery..... Do not worry!  My book will be in stores soon.

It is really true, what some people say - "The first one is always the hardest to put out there."  Stay cool, guys and be safe!

Take Care!

A PRE-VALENTINE'S DAY HELLO!

  • Mood: I am feeling energized and happy.
  • I am wearing: dark blue jeans, a grey turtleneck and sweater.
  • Weather: It is cold and snowing.
  • Greetings: Howdy

Happy

Valentines

Day!


 
"To Singles & Couples Alike"

Hi Friend,
    There is a Snow Storm Watch in NYC and in surrounding areas at this moment.  It has been snowing for the past, few hours and where I live has accumulated up to 2" on the ground outside so far.  It is very cold, slippery and slushy as well.  Snow is beautiful thing to look at but I hate it otherwise.  Thank God, I am not going anywhere out tonight or I would have had to cancel my trip.

    So, another Valentines Day is almost here again and it does not mean that single persons like myself should feel bad about this day.  Just think of it as not having to worry about what you should get for your love one or what to prepare for Valentines dinner, etc.  You might say that I am strange but Valentines Day has never really bother me.  Afterall, I was and still am a very low key, no fuss individual. Yet, I am so tired and turned off by my past relationships with men that I just don't care about that sort of thing anymore.  Relationships just do not last like the ones of yesteryear and too many things out there cause men to cheat a lot.

  Now, I actually pours the love and romantic dreams into my novels.  Some people thinks that is pathetic but I think it is living peacefully and loving what I do, writing.  When any author writes from the heart, his or her book usually comes out so much better.  As for me, yes, I am without someone BUT no, I am not lonely.  There is a big difference with those two meanings, which people finds very hard to understand.  A woman can indeed be very happy without a man. If she is unhappy being alone, then, she should go out there and try to find a decent man, if they are any left.

  As for the couples out there, please enjoy this Valentines Day.  For the singles, if this day is a hurtful memory to you or if you are hurting at this time from a breakup, etc.  Buy yourself a rose and why not?  Pray for someone special to come your way in the future.  And just hope that this Valentines Day passes by quickly.

Most of all, love yourself first and foremost, before you look to love someone else.  Stay cool, guys and be safe!

Take Care!

I LATINO SOAP OPERAS!

  • Mood:
  • I am wearing: a black turtleneck with a black and white stripe pants.
  • Weather: It is extremely windy today!
  • Greetings:

A Heartful Tribute
To The Latino Soap Operas On Telemundo 47

Hello Everyone,

      I am certain that many of you, who are not hispanic does not watch the wonderful soaps operas on Channel 47 - Telemundo.  You should!  These romantic, spanish soap operas showing on mornings and at nights are so amazing!  I have been watching them for years now on Telemundo.  Back when they used CC1 for the English Close Caption.  Now, they are using CC1 for the Spanish Close Caption and CC3 for the English Close Caption(where available).  I strongly regret that Channel 47 - Telemundo has made that decision with the Close Caption because I do not understand spanish so well and still have to guess what some of the scenes are all about.  I will have to look for and buy a new TV, which has CC3 in its Close Caption, so I can see the English dialogue.

        Here are some of my favorite Latino Soap Operas of today:
            

  •       1:      Pasion de Garviallis is about three brothers, who seeks revenge for their dead sister.  She died on a ranch owned by a rich family.  On this ranch lives a strong headed, serious woman and her three, beautiful daughters.  The brothers took jobs on this ranch to find out the truth about their sister's death.  Eventually, each brother falls inlove with a sister and their enemies seeks revenge all the way to the end of the picture.

  •             
  •       2:      Anita no a Rajes is about a poor, common class, innocent girl who learnt that money talks in all types of ways.  She eventually learns that the aunt she is looking for is really her mother and her father is still alive in Mexico.  Anita learns many valuable lessons and almost dies because of evil.  She soon comes back to Florida with a vengeful plan to destroy all of those who betrayed her, especially the man that she loves, who had given her up to Immigration to save her life.

  •             
  •       3:      Prisonera is about a woman called Guadalopé, who is sent to prison at a very young age for a crime she didn't commit.  While Guadalopé was in prison, her older sister named Milagros raised her daughter, Libertad.  All hell broke loose when Guadalopé escaped from prison with her best friend and comes looking for her rich, big sister.

  •             
  •       4:      Gitanas is about Gypsies and a fishing village.

  •             
  •       5:      La Muyer En El Espejo is a shy, plain Jane, who is tranformed into a breathtaking beauty by a magic mirror and a fight to control a fashion/cosmetic company.

  •             
  •       6:      La Traición I know it is about identical, twin brothers(played by Mario) and a beautiful, young woman(played by Dana) who is caught between the two of them.  Unfortunately, this young woman's mother seems to be a bitch!  One twin has Epilepsy and the other has a dark side.  However, I am still trying to figure out the story but I will inform you about it later.  When I've understand what is truly going on in this soap opera.  (SO FAR!)  Yet, my favorite, Latino Sexy actor(Mario) and my favorite actress(Dana) are in the starring roles of this new Soap Opera, which began last night.  I loved them in Pasion de Garviallis and I am sure to enjoy their performance in La Traición.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    • Mood: I am in a peaceful state.
    • I am wearing: a black turtleneck and sweat pants.
    • Greetings: Hello!

    A Holiday Greeting!

    To Everyone!  

     

     


    Hello Everyone,

          A few hours ago, I sat in my bed and had a wonderful dinner as I watched the ball dropped in Times Square, NY, marking another new year.  I ate two, large, spicy seasoned pork chops sprinkled with hot sauce, two slices of dark wheat bread and mixed vegetables.  I drank a large bottle of Martinelli's Apple/Grape Cider with my meal and had a large Oh Henry! chocolate bar for dessert.YUMMY!  Yes, for a little lady like myself.  I can surely eat and this New Years' Dinner was absolutely delicious!

            I want to wish all of you, especially my blogger friends a very happy New Year!  May your new year begin safely and continues to be great throughout the entire year.  For the year of 2008 will be a easy going for some people and it will be very difficult for others.  Life in general is hard that way but we must keep on trying to put our best foot forward.  May all of you enjoy every moment of this year with your love ones because no one knows, which day will be your last.  (Depressing but true)  Pray to the God above and ask him to guide you into the right direction and to help you make good decisions everyday.  Amen

          Is tomorrow a recycle of today?  Some people seems to think so.  In my opinion, there will always be the time from 12:00 am to 12:00 pm to 12:00 am again.  The only difference is that you will never see another day like the one before because every single day is different.  Just take some deep breaths and one day at a time, I know I will.  Be safe, guys!

    Happy New Year,
    Jonella

    HAPPY KWANZAA!

    • Mood: I am feeling
    • I am wearing: a red t-shirt and a black capri
    • Weather: It is raining heavily.
    • Greetings: Happy Holidays!
    Happy Kwanzaa!

    I want to wish Happy Kwanzaa to every family celebrating this other wonderful holiday.

    Kwanzaa is an African-American and Pan-African holiday founded by Dr. Maulana Karenga in 1966.  It begins on December 26th and lasts through to January 1st.  The name Kwanzaa comes from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza", which means first fruits of the harvest.

    To prepare for this wonderful holiday, African American families decorate their homes with Kwanzaa symbols.  They place a mkeka, a straw mat on the table. Corn (one ear for each child in the family) and other foods are placed on the mkeka to remember the earth's abundance.


    Candles are placed in a kinara, a wooden candle holder.  A black candle is placed in the center as a reminder of the richness of African-Amercan skin.  Three red candles represent struggles and three green candles represent a prosperous future. A candle is lit for each day of Kwanzaa.  The black candle is lit first, then red and green candles are lit alternately.


    Kwanzaa has become so huge in America that the U.S. Postal Service are selling several First-Class Kwanzaa Stamps today.


    There are seven priciples of Kwanzaa, one for each day and they are:


    1 - UMOJA, which means Unity.


    2 - KUJICHAGULIA, which means Self-Determination.

    3 - UJIMA, which means Collective Work and Responsibility.


    4 - UJAMAA, which means Cooperative Economics.


    5 - NIA, which means Purpose.


    6 - KUUMBA, which means Creativity.


    7 - IMANI, which means Faith.

    I hope this small info. makes you understand Kwanzaa a little better.  No matter who you are or where you came from.  Different holidays from all over the world should be celebrated to the fullest degree with thankful happiness.

    IT'S CHRISTMAS NIGHT!

    • Mood: I am happy but becoming tired now.
    • I am wearing: a black, Christmas sweater, a red turtleneck and black tights.
    • Weather: Is is beautiful outside.
    • Greetings: Good night!
    Its Christmas!

          Well, it is a quiet Christmas night and I just want to say hello to you.  I had a wonderful, wonderful Christmas day, did you?  Very early this Christmas morning, I spoke to my biological mother (who lives in NY but she is spending the holidays at home in Barbados) and my other mother (my aunt in Barbados who raised me) on the telephone to wish them Happy Holidays.  I didn't get to speak with my other aunt in Barbados because she was not at home, she had to work today.  My family sounded very cheerful this morning.  

          My aunt and baby sister were here with me in the apartment this afternoon.  The food was delicious and I have leftovers for tomorrow.  After my aunt left and went home (her apartment is on the floor above mine).  My sister and I talked as we watched a Christmas DVD.  Then, we watched the Rihanna's concert on Channel 9.  This was .  My sister left the apartment after 9 p.m. to go home.  A part of me could not wait for her to leave.  She kept on talking about her poor ass excuse for a boyfriend like I give a damn.  This idiot had called my sister on her cellphone earlier and they were truly arguing.  Imagine that, arguingwith your boyfriend on Christmas Day.  And he speaks to her like she is a dumb child.  Yeah!  I think she is very stupid too for being involve with an egomaniac like him.  I am so tired of my sister's complaints because I know she can find someone much better to be with than that fool.  Goodness Gracious!   My baby sister always love to raise my blood pressure and tonight was no exception.  Dammit!   She was trying to ruin the rest of my Christmas Day but after she left.  I watched a PBS (Channel 13) special called Luciano Pavarotti at Central Park (1993) and it made me very happy again.  Pavorotti sang many great songs at this concert, including my favorite one called Nessun Dorma from Puccini's Turandot, which is always wonderful listening to at any time of the year.  Majority of my day was absolutely wonderful and I hope that your day was blessed so too. Amen!  Good Night, everyone.

    Happy Holidays!

    • Mood: I am happy, singing Christmas songs and very excited .
    • I am wearing: An ankle length, red dress.
    • Weather: It was sunny today and the stars are out now.
    • Greetings: Merry Christmas Everybody!


    Its
    Christmas
    Eve, Yeahhh!


    "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ......"

    I am Spreading a little Christmas Cheer

     To Everyone! 
     

    Roast Chicken!Drinks!Christmas Cookies!Honey Glazed Ham!Macaroni Pie!Eggnog!

          Hello,

    I want to wish all of my blog friends and visitors a very Merry Christmas.  May your families, your dinner tables and yourselves be bless tomorrow.

     Yes, Christmas is almost here again and another year will soon be over.  This is my absolutely favorite time of every year.  I have finished cleaning my mother's entire apartment today and I've already made Sorrel drink (a Caribbean Christmas drink) to share between my aunt and myself.  Over an hour ago, I baked a whole batch of sugar cookies to enjoy.  Right now, a cloved and honey-glazed ham is baking inside the oven.  Boy, does it smell good!  After the ham is baked later tonight, I will be roasting a whole chicken.  Very early in the Christmas morning, I will be baking a large casserole dish of macaroni and cheese, making salad, steaming vegetables and warming up the Jug Jug (a Barbadian Christmas dish) for my last preparations of Christmas Dinner.  My aunt is cooking rice and peas , etc.  So, we are going to have lots of food to share and eat.  I am cooking now, so I can relax tomorrow and watch telvision all day long.  May you and your love ones enjoy tomorrow to the fullest.

          On the first Christmas, many, many years gao.  Three wismen spotted a great, bright Bethlehem star in the sky and made it a quest to see and greet the baby Jesus.  They brought him three gifts and prayed him.  Shepherds and others also came and saw the baby Jesus.  It was the most glorious and precious gift  ever given to the world by God.

          By now, Santas Clause has already gone down a few chimneys and still has a lot more to do.  People, who live in apartments or houses without chimneys, do not worry.  When Santa arrives at your place, he will make a magical chimney to enter your home.  Bringing Christmas gifts for children and adults alike.  Am I not correct?

          Besides knowing that man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day!  I wonder if many people realize that tomorrow, Christians all around the world are celebrating another birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Christams Day is the most popular birthday ever known to man.  Speaking of man, it is a pity that some people are only nice at Christmas time and when the New Year is over.  They will forget what Christmas truly means and becomes their nasty, racist, hasty, sad old selves all over again.  Have fun, everyone!  And you'll be hearing from me again soon, before the year is over. 


    Happy Holidays!

    HAPPY BDAY BARBADOS!

    • Mood:
    • I am wearing: A black denim jeans and a black turtleneck sweater
    • Weather: Sunny but Cold
    • Greetings:

    Happy 41st Birthday Barbados!

    Hello to all fellow Barbadians!  

     

     


    Hello Everybody,

            As you probably know by now.  I am from the beautiful island of Barbados.  Today, my country is celebrating it's 41st Independence.  Yet, yesterday almost scared the hell out of me.  An earthquake with the scale of 7.3 hit the island of Martinque and lasted for a few minutes.  It was so powerful that all of the islands, including Barbados felt it.  It shook every where, causing some Barbadians to panic.  Earthquakes are very, very rare in Barbados.  Only once have we ever experienced an earthquake and that was in 1963.    My aunt called my house, asking if my mother and I had heard about the earthquake in the Caribbean.  It then took my mother three times calling on the telephone, before we finally got through to our family in Barbados.  They are all, OK.  Thank God! (Phew, what a releif!)   

          However, this is a serious sign, a warning, not only to Barbados but to all of the Caribbean islands.  It is telling us to unite and become strong as one.  Get your actions together, people!   

          I have one problem with my country, Bim and that it is too populated.  People from all around the world lives in Barbados, including those who cannot even stand BLACK people.  Now, this is what I will never understand.  Certain people who are very racist in America are actually living in Barbados too.   I hope they raelaize by now that the majority in Barbados are BLACK, ok!  Otherwise, Barbados is a very beautiful and well developed country.  And I am very proud to be a Barbadian.  Amen!

    Lata,
     Jonella

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

    • Mood: I am hyper , happy and thankful !
    • Weather: It is a beautiful, sunny day!
    • Greetings: &

    A Holiday Greeting!

    To Everyone!  


    Hello Everybody,

            I want to wish everyone a very safe and happy Thanksgiving.  Although, everyone knows that Thanksgiving Day is the time, where some families fight with each other over secrets revealed, etc.  May you enjoy every moment with your love ones.  Thank the God above for allowing you to see another year and pray to him.  Ask him to let you and yours see many more holidays together.

          I am not a big fan of turkey meat but I do eat it once in a while.  As I do every year on Thanksgiving Day.  I am going to help my mother cook our dinner.  Then, we shall eat and I will be lazy for the rest of the day watching TV or DVDs.  I'll let you know tomorrow, if anything special happened today. 

          Tomorrow is usually the best shopping day of the holidays.  Many women and some men will be putting the energy from their Thanksgiving dinners to good use.  By rushing into the department stores and buying up all of the good sales.  Have fun, guys! 

    Happy Gobble-Gobble,
    Jonella
