Diaries of a Dream Queen

Peeps! What’s up? I’m hoping it’s your spirits because I’m feeling ‘a lil bummed out.” Seriously, I’m yawning here and typing. (I hope no one is offended though, I guess we all go into our zones now and then…but I’m sleeping in my mind and awake in reality so guess I’ll be okay? “Lol”) I’m currently reading this novel “Sail” by James Patterson and Howard Roughan. I’m telling you this book, is awesome! And I’m saying that in a soprano voice so you KNOW that I’m speaking the truth. My favourite novelist who’s also a well known best seller is Sidney Sheldon. I just can’t get enough of his novels! Uh…why am I speaking about this anyway? “Lol.” Guess I’m just sharing just another chapter of my life. I adore reading but ever since technology got so incredibly amazing, that went right out the door! I’m talking about Facebook, Twitter, the “must have” Blackberries and so forth. I wonder what mankind will invent next. I’m telling you although technology gets so amazing at times, it sure has its disadvantages! For example, if you’re at a meeting, and you’re busily “bb-ing” away sometimes you may have missed half of the message. Seriously, I used to read every second! Right now, that’s history and I’m disappointed in myself so I’m trying to bring back that zeal once more. Now…let’s talk business! This made headlines! Worldwide! Who watched Miss Universe 2011?? Well if you didn’t I sure did! And I’ve got to say hats off to Joyann Biscette! I’m quite patriotic and despite the various complications we may have going on in this country I’m still proud to be Saint Lucian. I was recently speaking to a stranger in the U.S. and he asked me “Where are you from?” I responded “Saint Lucia” of course and he was impressed.

He was like “Wow! How romantic! An amazing getaway! Beautiful Island” So if someone is speaking about my Island with such high regards, why shouldn’t I? Anyway back to the Miss Universe topic. I think the judges made the perfect decision when they chose Joyann to represent us. The other girls were all amazing including Patrish Lionel and I know that my girl is going to represent us next year if God’s willing! Right ‘Trish? “Lol” Joyann has such an amazing personality, she’s so bubbly, intelligent, there’s just something about her that stands out and she represented us well! And the winner…Miss Angola! I had my eyes on you! You definitely stood out for me! I did my research and found out that she was the second black African woman and the fourth black woman in the world to win the Miss Universe title. Many individuals world-wide were contented with the judges’ decision. My Facebook Newsfeed and Twitter Timeline…..absolutely crazy! A lot of people were rooting for Leila Lopes. The second the winner was announced! Everyone went whoop! Whoop! That girl surely made black people proud and this was a moment to remember! I also want to congratulate my friend the aforementioned Patrish Lionel who took part in Miss Jam Zone International which was held in Guyana. She’s taken part in quite a few pageants, and has taken home titles on various occasions which she can be proud of. I think you’re an amazing girl and you represent us well as always! So hats off to Joyann Biscette and Patrish Lionel! Well guys, I’m out for now! And this time, it’s not to eat! “Lol” I’m usually telling you all that I “gtg” because somehow, it just happens that I’m always hungry at the time being. Have a crime free weekend! Much love, Barbii Doll/ Rae Anthony.
