Hey there!
This post is long overdue, seeing as I was supposed to be posting almost everyday but as you can see that hasn't happen. I've been trying to get a video update on my hair done for weeks but hmph that hasn't been done either. The good thing about it all is that, it's not because I'm lazy or don't have the desire. Because, I do, really I do! It's just that the time management aspect of my life needs some fine tuning. Serious fine tuning,
So, what has the Diva (yeah I still call myself such lol) been up to? Well other than the broken heart episode, I'm still working and interning, I have two internships at the moment and I love them both. If I had the choice to live comfortably and not work at my REAL job I would be doing my internship work full time. I seriously CAN NOT wait to graduate.
Last month I went on a promo tour with an up and coming R&B artist Cherisme promoting her hot single Fly Mamita, check her out tell me what you think. We were in Miami, Daytona, Orlando, Tampa, Tallahasse, Gainesville, Atlanta, it was tres awesome. I really didn't want to come home and back to work. I missed my family yeah naturally but everything else was like 2 fingers up peace out.
Now, I just really need to work on coming out of this shell I seem to have. I'm not shy, really I'm not but for some reason I come off that way with new people. Even when I try hard not to! It's whack, and I have phone anxiety lol I hate talking on the phone with certain people. I'll text and e-mail like no other but when it comes to the phone I have to lock myself in a closet to have the conversation.
Writing I used to think I was a great writer, well that's what people said to me but I don't have that journalistic style that's necessary as a public relations specialist. I have someone in mind to give me lessons BUT financial constraints.
When I got back, my Dad came with me. Can you believe this man hadn't been to the hospital since I was 2 yrs old? That was in 1989 and come to find out he has diabetes and almost passed out in the apt. So, I was taking care of the pops and the momma dukes and playing referree between them, big love hate thing going on.
School starts soon, hopefully I can get some blogs in and I'm going to take pictures, lots and lots of pictures, and get my but back in the gym! That Glady's and Ron's Chicken and Waffles Ohh it was good but boy did it mess up my imaginary abs!
Well TTYL!

Daily Motivation
The last few post have been sort of depressing haven't they? Sorry but that's where I am right now, not necessarily depressed but going through these things. Crazy that I'm sharing them online but oh well.
Update: Things got worse! (I fell deeper and harder) LOL but, right now I can actually laugh about it. Monday I hung out with him and his family, and they remind me so much of my own family. So much love, and laughter and teasing! Made me remember that the reason I was drawn to him as my friend is because we're so much a like. Our goals are to do better for our families, and I admire that about him and I'm proud of him. That being said I'm still no booboo the fool and even though I've fallen deeper I know we need a break. The most important thing to me is our friendship and in order to see if any of it can be salvaged I have to let go.
So, that leads to the daily motivations that I send to my friends. I haven't done them in a while being selfish but finaly today I was able to. It's just things that I've heard this past week put into one.

I Don't Want It, "Not Anymore"
Yes I do, sad but true. You've all heard the LeToya Luckett song haven't you?
Hmm she should've said I don't need it anymore because though I don't need it, I want HIM. Dang got me shaking my head at myself. SAD! The drama, I could do without though, I really could, and that's what's given me my Chrisette Michelle "Ephiany"
Maintaining a long distance friendship when you believe you've fallen in love with your best friend sucks. It is even worse when this one keeps going back to a dysfunctional relationship in which you always end up putting back the pieces. Then to find out from facebook off all things. Dang you social media! That they're back together. What is a friendships with lies? Where have we come to when it comes to this?
When you've held on to memories of being cuddled in his large muscular arms while laughing at Alvin & the Chipmunks 2 yrs ago in the movie theater to tide you over for next time. But images of him in the arms of another you deem unworthy quickly cause the memory to fade. Hide some of the pain.
The cherry, top it off with the arguement you had via text because you couldn't tell him to his face that he lied and you're not having it; "Not Anymore" and he still couldn't admit to it. Then weeks later an unknown number appears on your missed call log because you erased him from your address book to find that he's in town.
What goes through your mind? What happens when he asks to see you?
Well if you're me you go and pretend to be mad although elated to see the object of many sleepless nights materialized right before me. Though you sit in the car refusing him access and subliminally trying to tell him you know while asking him for the truth. You would end up helplessly wrapped in his arms inhaling his unique sent memorizing the mold of his body to hold you over until next time. If that torture is not enough the glutton you are for punishment you'll kiss him. Your first kiss, officially crossing that line of just friends bittersweet because if you truly love yourself it has to be the last.
Then you would wake up the next morning with his smell all over your body and the pressure from his lips firmly pressed to yours. A phantom kiss...
So, what's next? You arm yourself with "Pretty Wings" and fly to the shower and wash away the memories and pray that "time will bring an end to our trial, one day there'll be no remnants no trace, no residual feelings" - Maxwell
Maybe one day I won't remember... and if "This Isn't Love"-Jennifer Hudson I'll get the answer to what it really is.
Go to church and get wrapped in the arms of the ultimate lover, and brace myself for the face off, admit to him as well as myself the issues. Yet still thinking:
Wish me luck!

"...I've realized I deserve somebody that'll treat me right...I know my worth so you can keep that drama cause I don't want it any more"

Incompatible, it don't matter though 'cause someone's bound to hear my cry Speak out if you do You're not easy to findThen the phone rings, and it's Mr. Wright how ironic? But is he really my Mr. Right, broken hearted doesn't mean I'll settle. But that's another post.
Is it possible Mr. Loveable Is already in my life? Right in front of me Or maybe you're in disguise
Who doesn't long for someone to hold Who knows how to love you without being told Somebody tell me why I'm on my own If there's a soulmate for everyone

Death Of Slave Mentality
Artists if you can even call them that, these days are getting hits with songs titled "the death of auto tune". Lesson learned? Music without substance sales. Okay I'm not saying that Jay- Z's song lacks substance, the general out-put of music today lacks substance. When an artist has to stop making quality music to send out a PSA to the masses we've hit an all time low. This teaches us, the public will soak up anything they are given, and accept it whole hearted as reason.
Knowing how fickle the general public is, why doesn't someone kill the slave mentality plaguing the black community? Race has been a rising issue in the weeks following the death of the world's "King of Pop", Michael Joseph Jackson. Ironic how a man who had us all singing at the tops of our lungs to look at the "Man in the Mirror?", because "You are Not Alone" let's "Beat It", by "Human Nature" "It Doesn't Matter if You're Black or White" just "Heal the World". Is now currently still being ridiculed by the ignorance of most, after death.
The only come back our black leaders can come with is that our psyche has been tarnished by the angst of slavery. Really, are you serious? Listen here, Michael Jackson was a grown behind man, and though many black people do hate their blackness, and it may partly stem from slavery we can not continually blame "the man" for our short comings in the department of self love.
If you've been under a rock lately, you probably have missed the passing of Michael Jackson and the following bashing by Bill O' Reilly on his black iconic status. Leaving you at a lost about my ranting. Yet, I highly doubt event the comatose have missed this.
Last I checked O' Reilly was white, so to me his opinion of what I or other black people should do has no merit. It's simple mathematics. MJ's momma and daddy are black, entire family is black, his birth certificate most likely states he is black, and I'll go further to say his death certificate says so as well. This equation equates to this, nothing he ever did to his outer appearance could ever change the fact that he was born and died a BLACK man. White children do not automatically take your black card. Sorry O'Reilly, if so we may have to give Madonna and Angelina a black card for their house full of adopted black children. Saying you have vililago or bleaching your skin, which ever it was that he did, can NOT remove ones blackness. So, even if he tried to run from it he could not.
No matter how often slave masters, put blacks against blacks, for the color of their skin, the texture of their hair, the girth of their hips, the width of their nose. In the end, they still shared commonality. They were and would always be black. Genocides stem from this ignorance, and nothing can easily erase hate let a lone self hate. But when our ancestors, and others fought for our freedom and won. We also gained the responsibility for our actions. If we failed to teach our people that we are beautiful and worthy of love as we are also made in His divine image. Then this can not be blamed on the white man any longer, but the failure is in our teachings.
I just had to get that off my chest, because as a dark skinned, black Haitian-American woman I love all of my blackness, even in the darkness when you can't see me unless I open my eyes and smile! I love the texture of my woolly hair and take pride in my regal nose. One day I'll even embrace my child bearing hips if I ever get some! Michael Jackson is not the first nor will he be the last person on earth to ever change their appearance now that technology and medical advances permit them to do so. When attacked for wearing weaves, and colored contacts,bleaching or tanning, ones skin, the counter argument should not readily be fired back "it's because of slavery". BULL DOOKIE!!! The chains were broken long ago, kill the mentality. It is because we have failed in teaching how to love properly.
I read and heard the news of his passing, and ignored my television, but even after his memorial the ignorance still continues. It's weird how I cried out for joy at hearing the NOT GUILTY verdict but haven't cried tears of mourning for his passing. I think a part of me is elated that he may have found rest in the arms of the Prince of Peace.
We really shouldn't waste our time arguing against fickle people especially with such a weak argument. We are no longer slaves. Point blank, Michael's contributions while living to the global community fit the definition of humanitarian, his music broke molds defining him as an innovator, his music gave inspiration, by definition he is classified iconic, and by birth he is a black man.
Get a better come back!

What up What up What up
Hey there!
I'm sorry I left you all with such a sad post at the top for so long but things have been fast paced these past few months. BUT through it all lessons have been learned, like for one...I don't have to always answer my phone or respond to text. Such a simple lesson but it took a long time to come to terms with. I have two phones, an iPhone & a blackberry, and often my laptop is with me. Although I'm proud to say this week my baby has remained at home! People basically have 24/7 access to me, and I feel obligated to respond at times, that is definitely changing!
How am I doing with the lost of my Gui?
Oh Lord I miss him...
I'm a work a holic. I'm going to learn how to rest and put me first...soon. I've been told that I need to slow down, although right now I feel like life is too short. I'm trying to make a name for myself, make my mommy, family and friends proud so it's full speed ahead to my objectives.
I'm still in school expecting to graduate May 2010, though for my minor I'll still have 2 classes to take that summer.
I'm interning @ Clear Channel Radio w/ Radio Personality Dj Quest of 105.5 The Beat & @ E. Mason & Associates.
I really need to blog more!!

How am I doing with the lost of my Gui?
I deal with things by NOT dealing with them, I close myself off to the situation and push myself into something that displaces emotions. It's kind of like drinking away ones sorrows. It's not easy especially as I sat here thinking that today is the John Legend concert that we were texting about the night before he passed, I miss him and feel like I took him for granted while he was here. I don't want to do that with anyone else I love. Yet at the same time my emotions seem to have been sealed off. I still haven't cried over Michael Jackson even after watching such a touching memorial service yesterday. I pushed it to the side, even made jokes just to keep emotions at bay. Example: Yesterday driving home w/ my best friend Ludie listening to "The Way You Make Me Feel" and out the blue I say I'm mad Gui gets to meet Michael Jackson before me!
Oh Lord I miss him...
I'm a work a holic. I'm going to learn how to rest and put me first...soon. I've been told that I need to slow down, although right now I feel like life is too short. I'm trying to make a name for myself, make my mommy, family and friends proud so it's full speed ahead to my objectives.

I'm interning @ Clear Channel Radio w/ Radio Personality Dj Quest of 105.5 The Beat & @ E. Mason & Associates.
I feel blessed to have an opportunity to work close with these individuals, Quest I've known since high school and has helped with all of my annoying inquiries about the entertainment industry, allowing me to hang out at the radio station after school and giving me insider leads. He ultimately landed me the internship with E. Mason & Associates which handles media relations for artist like Rick Ross and Flo Rida.Well I've gone on enough, so I'm going to end this post here, soon I'll update you about my hair 1.5 years as of 2 days ago (so proud that I didn't notice that until I just typed it LOL!), new niece, my clothes, my adventures, love? possibly lol. More on the road to my career and any other interesting tidbits or ramblings I can think of.
In the past few mths, I've been on stage with Maybach Music Artist, writing reviews for events that I never would have dreamed attending, traveling to different states to promote upcoming artist, backstage all access pass to shows of artist that I DVR'd, shopping sprees, to spruce up my wardrobe.
Thinking back on these past few months even with the sad moments, it's all been a beautiful and blessed learning experience. While going full speed ahead, I'm coming into my own as a young adult, it's almost as if I'm meeting myself for the first time and I'm so intrigued. Seeing my future by faith and it's strengthing my soul. I'm going to be all right.
I really need to blog more!!

Guichard Claudel "Gui Gui" Jean-Louis
I have a new guardian in heaven. I will admit that Thursday I was mad, Lord knows I was mad because I couldn't believe it. I mean we were just texting on Wednesday night, remember I was asking you about the Sermon on the Mount? I couldn't grasp what Jesus meant by "blessed are those who are poor in spirit" and you helped me to try and figure it out. The
n when I couldn't figure it out you advised me to research it further. But you know me, I didn't my excuse was that I was at work but truth be told I had given up and gotten distracted. Edward and I read it together that night and I think I got a better understanding of it. Then you texted me about the India and John Legend concert. You never answered my last text, "are u going?" Guess I got my answer now huh? I was meaning all day Thursday to text you for my answer and to tell you about the conversation I had with Edward. Reminded me so much of when we first met. We would pray before getting off the phone together sometimes we would pray and just sleep on the phone together and wake up the next day and pray together. My sister thought we were crazy! But we saw nothing wrong with it.
I sp0ke about you that day before I knew what had happened going down memory lane remembering the things you did that made you such an exceptional person. I think we were going to the mall but I had to wash the dishes and iron my clothes before I could get ready, and you did them for me. I jokingly said "Gui, would you wash the dishes for me and iron my clothes so I can take a shower?" You got right up and did it for me. I was telling my sister that story laughing and smiling about it thinking I need to call my Gui Gui and see if he's going to the concert and to tell you what I felt the verse meant. All that time you were already gone and I didn't even know it. I read Ms. Dailey's e-mail and even though I read your name I didn't put it together I was thinking it must be some new kid Guichard couldn't be my Guichard. Then I called your phone and Rose confirmed it and I didn't know what to do. I just rushed off the phone all I could say was sorry like I had the wrong number. Man do I wish I had the wrong number. I texted Teri, hoping that she would tell me it was all a twisted joke but she called me back and said there would be a memorial service in less than an hour. I don't know what gave me the strength to get to the church. All those people love you Gui, you made us smile so much while you were here that it was hard to cry for long. I felt you there the entire time. I saw Justin and boy does he look just like you. He's such a goofy baby and I love him so much. Teri is being strong and Justin keeps everyone smiling just the way you did. That little boy is going to grow up surrounded by people that love him because they loved you. I know you wouldn't have left him any other way. I can remember when you told me, well when the news dropped that you had a son. Sitting in the cafe eating my strawberries when Monique asked to see his picture. The room got s
o silent, but I wasn't even mad about it, because I knew we would talk later and when we did the conversation went deep. I learned so much about who you were and the struggles you faced behind that flawless smile and all I wanted to do was be there for you until the end of time. I wanted to help you carry your load. You were destined for greatness and I wanted to make sure nothing got in your way. I asked if I could be a part of your sons life and you gave me the go ahead to contact Teri. I'm sorry I got mad at you and challenged you to be there more for him I didn't do it because I thought ill of you. I did it because I knew the potential you had as his father. Never could you be a teen statistic.

Never could you be a teen statistic.I'm sorry that I pushed you away. But you know I'm a punk when it comes to those things, never thought my time with you would be cut so short. So many things I missed, so many things you hadn't heard from me recently. The last time I hugged you I should've held on tighter. Rather then letting things get in the way last weekend I should have gone to the senior ceremony. I want to hear you call me Che, man even hearing you call me "kid" would be fine right now. Who's going to sing happy birthday to me next year?
You really make me want to do better. Even when I was hard on myself you called me your inspiration. Now I feel I have to work 100 times harder to make you proud, to hear you say well done. Gui help me to be strong, guide me give me a few heavenly pointers. I can't promise I won't cry but please just let me feel your presence.
Tell the heavenly Father great things about us :)
See you soon... forever my Gui Gui
Love,
Your Che

I haven't updated about my hair in a long time so I figured today while I'm bored at work doing nothing would be better than any other day to update :). Okay so here it goes.
My locks are officially 1 year 5mths and 10days old LOL! I've lost the desire to take a picture of my hair every moment because they have become such a natural part of me that it's no longer a novelty. I'm comfortable in this skin not only because of my hair but because I'm finding out a lot of things about who I am as a young woman. 
The hair is just the icing on the top because I am looking fierce while doing me! *two snaps* LOL I haven't become a product junkie and still wear my hair free style most of the time. Occasionally I do a braid out for a special occassion or just pull them to the side for a dramatic effect. I can comfortably get all of my locks pulled back into a ponytail and it's pretty bushy. That was exciting when I figured it out. These days I wear a rumber band around my wrist to get my hair out of the way on a hot florida day.

I'm getting a lot of compliments for my hair as well as family members asking me to send them a picture of my hair so that they can show their friends that are contemplating locks. One of my cousins whenever I see her she's asking me to style her hair the same. LOL maybe I need to take a consultant class? No, can't afford that at the moment.
Back to the compliments for a moment, I guess you can say I'm sorta kind of dating now and black men are diggin' the locks. I was a bit afraid of what their reactions would be but they like it. Of course I still immediately get on the defense when people that haven't seen me in years ask why I made the change but they save themselves when their next sentence is that they absolutely love it!
(No serious prospects on the dating front, other things are still my main focus at the moment but it's good getting out every now and again.)
Hmm so what else is new? Nothing really just learning how to act my age, relax and enjoy the las
t year of my college education before I hope in to my dream career and embark on the journey of grad school.

I'm happy livin', lovin', and laughin'. Enjoying my napptural self.
Well until next time which I hope is a lot sooner forgot how relaxing it is to just sit back and write. I'll spell check this later!
Smooches!!
