(18)Jeanette Santiago

Hi everyone!

Finally! We made it! We are adults! 18! Too bad we can't still legally drink! But I bet we can get one below the counter, right? Lol j/k. Drinking bef..in fact, drinking at all is a bad idea. But we are here, at 18! I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I do! It's been a ride, I tell you!

On a personal note, this last week was a ride for me also! I got proposed to and then got told that I am hoping for 600,000 babies to die when I explained to someone that if abortion was illegalized, underground clinics would pop up, putting the lives of many women-women who are somebody's daughter-at risk. I explained to this person again, that I agree that abortion is murder 98 percent of the time, but.......they need to be kept legal because if a pro-lifers' daughter goes and gets one behind her parents' back and dies, then the pro-lifer will repenting of opposing abortion if they truly loved their daughter. But, what can I do? Dealing with people with a lower IQ can be challenging at times.

I got asked out in marriage! A fan of mine on this page asked me to marry him. I never imagined that was going to happen to me! I was once engaged...I was 24, the woman was 18, she saw me one day, ran to me, kissed me and two weeks later, we were in a court, but we decided we didn't want toi marry and ran away out of there, with our families behind us!. In the end, we lasted 6 months together. This time, I told my fan that it would be nice if he could take me toParis for a honeymoon! But he'd only met me that day so yeah, wedding plans are not going forward!

Apart from that, I was busy entertaining other fans and my two girlfriends and five boyfriends. It was a wild week!!

Well, we had news that was not very marvelous this week. In fact they were tragic and sad: First Pope Francis passed away, from a stroke on April 21st at the age of 88. Apparently, the Pope was a great man who tried to reform the church, I say apparently, because, while he was an LGBT rights advocate, he did not really do much to solve the SA' scandals the church has been plagued with for the last few years. But he seemed to be a decent man. In fact, he used to pay his hotel tabs when he travelled and, I heard that Popes are forbidden by the church to sign autographs for fans but he had a personal rule that if you proved him that your autograph was for a personal collection by showing him a photo of your autograph collection, he would indeed sign one for you This tells me of a humble man. Pope Francis, who was born Jorge Bergolgio, was the first Latin American pope and he was, in fact, the first one born outside Europe. A new Pope will be elected soon, and there are rumors this time it will be a Black man from Africa. We';'ll see!

Another one who reportedly died was 41-year old Virginia Giuffre, the American-Australian campagner for the rights of sA victims. As you may remember, she was involved in a car accident recently in Australia, and was given four days to survive due to renal failure, But she survived that crisis. She was involved in the Jeffrey Epsetein case and was allegedly a victim of several powerful men as a minor. among those she mentioned was Prince Andrew. SA is a very serious matter and we do not joke around things like these. We had been praying for her, but news came on April 25th that she had apparently unalived herself. Our hearts are crying for her and her family and children...

And our condolences go to the Catholic family worldwide as well as the Pope's family and friends and the Giuffre family and her friends as well.

Now to the more better news!!

Some of my friends in the Phoenix, Arizona, area reported having seen a UFOBlue Origin, the spacecraft that took off from El Paso, Texas, on what was a ten minutes flight with lights and stuff on the night of April 14th. What they had no idea was that, right on top of them were the world famous American singer Katy Perry, news anchor Gayle King, Lauren Sanchez who became the first Puerto Rican woman in space, and three other gorgeous women. Lauren Sanchez is engaged to Jeff Bezos, owner of Blue Origin, the spacecraft that took them. They returned, after such a brif flight, to Texas, landing at Van Horn, a small town.

The flight was not without critics. One of the most outspoken ones was actress Olivia Wilde. Wilde went on to Instagram, where she put a photo of Perry kissing the Earth after the ship landed, saying that " Billion dollars bought some good memes, I guess!" Another actress named Olivia, this one with the last name Munn, also criticised the trip. She was co-hosting on a television show named "Today, With Jenna and Friends", when she commented that "I know this isn't probably the cool thing to say. But there are so many other things that are important in the world right now. And Emily Ratajjowski did not pull any punches on TikTok, declaring that "That's end time shit! Like , this is beyond parody!"

All I can say is, hey netrat! Why weren't you and I allowed to be ten minutes in a room with these hotties??/ My boner says it would have been marvelouuuusssss!!

Blake Lively is on the news again: the 37 year old American actress, sister of another actress I've been sometimes compared to (Molly Ringwald's main competition during the 80s in teen films) Robyn Lively, was named to Time Magazine's list of 100 most influential people in the world. This is good news for our friend Blake, who has had a streak of bad luck lately. She and Justin Baldoni put on the legal boxing gloves and are involved in a court case

lively was ecstatic about the announcement, announcing that "It's an honor to be acknowledged at the @time 100 list for 2025!" while also putting emojis signifying love and two praying hands. She asked civil rights lawyer Sherrilynn Ifill to write the essay that explains why Lively was selected. Ifill is a hero to Lively.

Marvelouuusssssss!!!!

Last but not least, the NHL hockey and NBA basketball playoffs are in full swing on this side of the pond. Fellow online Spice Girl Jill is thrilled with her favorite NHL team participating and so am i. So far my Boston Celtics are leading the Orlando Magic 2 games to 1, and my dearly hated Los Angeles Lakers are losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves, 2 games to 1 also. I have hope that at least the Lakers get eliminated thus preserving my celtics' flimsy lead in championships over the Lakers for at least one more year! See, women can talk about sports also!!

I mean, netat's next door loves Manchester City....wait...ewwww!!!!! Nasty, nasty ladyl!

I want to congratulate Netrat, as I heard he is cancer free! and so we are celebrating that!

Well that is it for now. As always, the online Spice Girls Cindy, me, Jill, deb and Courtenay love you and so does our dear lord god and our dear manager, my online brother Jizzy! *Hugs and kisses* and until next week then!!
