POOR, POOR CATALINA!

HATE IS THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE- Josepha

I felt so very sorry for our Cat yesterday- the way she cried over Daddy's boy's cruel declaration that he no longer loved her and then fainting like that; either the beginning of a nervous breakdown OR she's carrying the first of a new generation of Mendozas. Except, it's  established being  that Daddy's boy AIN'T a Mendoza so heaven knows what surname their baby (if there's a baby) would bear after he or she is born. Probably a boy because in the photo of their SECOND wedding here,you can all see a little boy standing between them, holding Cat's train. So, Cat is going to be a Mummy!

Ricardo and Adela are so shameless; they don't even bother to hide their plans to get money at all costs and ironically it's partially Adela's fault that her daughter is suffering yet again- making Daddy's boy believe that they had known all along he wasn't a foreman and I really wish Romero HAD beaten Ricardo up. Now that Sebastian has seen them in their true colours, he's now being refered by them as "that rancher" instead of the "handsome millionare". Sour grapes folks, Heaven knows how they'll react when they find out he's not Lupe's son afterall, probably order Cat to abort her pregancy so that "the real heir" (Creepy Carmelo) can finally marry her.

The possibility of Cat expecting Sebastian's son (why must they think it's a boy first??) is both good and bad... Cat willl have the child to console her at least but that fool could declare her an unfit mother and use his money and connections to have the child taken away from her custody- not a good scenario AT ALL.

Daddy's boy on the other hand irritated me with his sulking over Lupe's apparent peference for Creepy Carmelo and he and Romero(if that boy doesnt know anything he should shut up) unfairly blaming Cat for his present disharmony with Lupe, as if Carmelo wasn't already crazy before he and Cat ever even met. "Creepy Carmelo"s playacting irritated me furhter especially since the ranch people felll for it, including the stoic Panchito.

Toni is another case entirely, like Cat, she's suffering from a guy's abandonment but I don't feel sorry for her; she loves Lupe yet hates him at the same time and only hopes he's alive so that she can fufilll her bloodthirsty revenge- talk about the woman scorned, she SERIOUSLY NEEDS therapy. Personally, she should just stay FAR AWAY from Cat's baby.

Sebastian, YOU ARE SUCH A LOSER!

Yesterday, i(and probably other fans of this increasingly RIDICULOUS telenovela, 'Catalina y Sebastian') witnessed yet another showdown between Cat. and Sebastian;Sebastian is so full of self pity, going out of his way to humiliate his soon-to-be ex-wife to the fullest despite her obviously hurting. At least Amelia is now directing her poison at someone else(Jessica, who is in no way better than her) while Cat herself is laying the foundations of starting afresh.

The accusation of her having an affair with Eduardo sounded so silly coming from Sebastian's mouth, considering he finally took Cat's virginity on their shortlived honeymoon, I just can't fathom a man who can be so stupid and guillible like Sebastian Mendoza, personally, i wish Jessica and Amelia joy of him; if he's so into conniving man-eaters like those two, Cat is far far better off without 'Daddy's boy.' I liked him better as Diego.

Another wahala is Lupe's accident, most likely he now has amnesia and 'Creepy Carmelo' for sure will milk this situation for all its worth except I'm trying to get the answer to these 2 questions...

Is Carmelo doing this for Lupe's love ONLY or for the money as well? Did Lupe sleep with (ugh!) Toni and Caremelo is his son afterall?(Lupe is always anxious to defend him).

For those who still do me kindness by visiting this blog, i need your opinions.

Peace.

Catalina y Sebastian: a see-saw relationship

I humbly apologise folks, for my break in trasmission;being a teacher, writer AND a student is no easy job not to mention being ill for a while. And... for a while i'd felt I was'nt being appreciated, no one commented on my last few posts and i considered deleting 'MY FAVORITE THINGS' but changed my mind. It's probably never going to be as popular as 'TELENOVELA GARDEN' nor as sophisiticated but at least it will have some flavour of its own. From now on, it's going to be both a telenovela and movie blog since movies are one of 'my favorite things ' as well.

My thanks to those who voted in the polls, at the moment, i'm thinking of another suitable subject for everyone to vote on.

I dont know how many people would agree with me that 'CATALINA Y SEBASTIAN' is absolutely ridiculous; i've never heard of a more gullible bobby like Sebastian, allowing himself to be manipulated and dictated to. And i'll admit it, i dislike Lupe as much as I dislike Creepy Carmelo, fixing his mind on something and never letting go of it. And heaven knows WHAT THE HELL is in that damned letter!

Cat. and Sebastain's marriage is most defintely like a seesaw, up and down, up-down, up-down and only time will tell when they'll finally be happy. As for me, i'm fed up with both of them; Sebastain should start acting like a man in love and not a bewildered little boy, Cat. should stop humiliating herself and divorce him and wait to say ' i told you so' when he comes crawling back. That's what i'll do, believe me.

What's more real right now is 'LA USURPADORA' , ONCE AGAIN,please check the labels for episodes and the GRAND FINALE on this blog.

PEACE AND LOVE- honey.

A Message From Danielle Steel

August 2007

Dear Friends, Although August is still officially summer, it's already time for college kids to go back to school...and those who play sports have to rejoin their teams before summer is even over. With the last lazy days before the younger kids go back to school and the fall sets in again, it's a great month to enjoy the less hectic days. If you haven't had a vacation yet, I hope you have some time to yourself now, before life gets serious again!! Much love, P.S. You are always welcome to visit me at my home on the web.

IT'S RAINING TELENOVELAS, VERY HEAVILY!

More and more telenovelas coming in ; first 'CUERPO DEL DESEO ' and thanks to my battered Spanish Dictionary it means , BODY OF DESIRE and NOT 'SECOND CHANCE' and now 'TRIALS OF WOMEN', sort of like a reflection of this present heavy rainy season we've been experiencing lately. And we are yet to be done with CATALINA Y SEBASTIAN, ESMERALDA, REBECA as well as LA REVANCHA. Back in the 90's when we first got telenovelas, the practice was one after the other. First, it was THE RICH ALSO CRY, after it packed up came NO ONE BUT YOU, then afterwards when it was done THE LADY OF THE ROSE,somewhere in between(on weekdays) WILD ROSE , after LADY OF THE ROSE was MARIA DE LOS ANGELES. Some years later came ESCRAVA ISAURA, immediately it ended came SECRETS OF THE SANDS.



Not that i'm complaining or anything, but we are knee deep in telenovleas and how ON EARTH are we Nigerian viewers going to follow them , especially since TO SOBRE CAMILLA(all about Camilla), LA MUJER DI MI VIDA & LA HIJA DE JARDINERO are back in MBI, GOTEL and LTV respectively, plus LA USURPANDORA in Galaxy? pls. send your comments about this post and once again cast your votes below as this is the last day.



A reminder: i have the info. on LA USURPANDORA as well as its final episode on this blog.Pls Click on USURPADORA and END for what happens long after Paulina's trial and the very last episode.







About CUERPO DEL DESEO: it stars Mario Cimarro who played Antonio Adolfo Thompson in LA MUJER DI MI VIDA with his now EX wife Natalia who played Babarita(the blonde girl in the pic, they seperated last year) and telenovela legend Andres Garcia who we Nigerian viewers all remember as Antonio Lombardo in NO ONE BUT YOU with the lovely Lucia Mendez (see below LA MUJER DE MI VIDA).














PLOT: (courtesy of WIKIPEDIA)
The story features Pedro José Donoso (Andrés García), a wealthy old man in love with a gorgeous younger woman, Isabel Arroyo (Lorena Rojas). He dies suddenly, but returns to Earth through transmigration: (the passing of a soul into another body after death), in the body of Salvador Cerinza (Mario Cimarro), a handsome (yet poor) family man. Pedro José searches for everything he lost, uncovering secrets, truths and deceptions. Ultimately, he must set things straight and save those who truly loved him.
CHARACTERS
Pedro Jose Donoso - a wealthy industrialist who, at 67, thinks he has everything he ever wanted. He has a gorgeous young wife, despite the age difference and opposition from his only daughter, Ángela.
Salvador Cerinza - a farmer who lives a sad life with his stingy wife Cantalicia and their son,
Moncho. Then everything changes when he suffers a mysterious accident.
Isabel Arroyo - a sensual, ambitious woman who loves her husband, Pedro Jose, at least on the surface.
Andrés Corona - Pedro Jose’s right hand man and Isabel’s secret lover. Two-faced, astute and ruthless, he will do anything to take everything Pedro Jose owns.
