What's on your mind right now?

[Edwin]

I could have sworn we had a JJG thread already created Mrs. JJG, no?

[Alex_Incognito]

Thanks, guys. Javito's been a member here for years and has always been great for Celine discussions. One of the biggest fans I know. He's also given us some great rare material. I just can't believe he's been silenced.

Sounds like me

 

But since he's a genius, it was only a matter of time till other people start appreciating his geniousness as well

[J-Man]

that does sound like you Adi. .

 

Great idea there Alex. Count me in!

[sfbaysinger]

OMG, Nano, congratulations. That is So Awesome!!!!!!! You totally deserve this. I wish you every happiness in the world. "I wish you joy and happiness, but above all this, I wish you love."

Lian, I hope you get the job of your dreams. You would do so well there and they would be so lucky to have you...

Bell, I could not agree with you more. That's why I'm So Excited that our young people are getting in to Celine/Mariah/Whitney. They need that better quality of music, when music was real/sincere/genuine/from the heart & not computerized, when talent, Not Looks, drugs/sex or who you know, got you in. Our younger people will keep her & all the other amazing legends going, or, will be so inspired by them that they will create their own living genius.

As for Javito...we definitely had our disagreements, that's no secret/lie, but I'll give him serious humor points!!!!! I do Hate being silenced without explanation & I would be so mad/confused/puzzled/disappointed if this was done to me without a warning/legitimate reason being given. I would also hope that people would stand up & do for me what Alex is so boldly leading us "where no forum has ever gone before".

As a blind person, being silenced happens to me all the time, I start to talk & someone says, "shhhhhh" but no one will explain why. I don't believe in opression/suppression, I believe in freedom for all. I hope justice, however it is best to look, prevails in this somehow for all of us. And I do agree that, although there are many ways to support each other, I hope everyone finds the way that's right/best for them, to come together and do just that.

[Der_Griffon]

Why was Javito banned?! I read something about him having badmouthed somebody, which I find an open lie, unless a prove is offered.

 

For the many years I have been a member of this forum, I have very often witnessed actions that are less than democratic and an attempt to ban free speech. I am aware of the fact that writing down this opinion might cost me my own membership in this forum that I have kept for the past 8 years, but enough is enough!

 

WHY HAS JAVITO BEEN SILENCED?!

[Belle Céline]

Blah, I need something to do. I'm bored....cleaning is not an option. Though it may become one if I get too bored...

[Bell]

I just can't believe he's been silenced.

Me too. I miss him on the forum.

[nuts2you]

was just thinking out loud, that if where a niegbor of celine and going to school and want to learn french, would be nice to go and ask celine and rene for help in your homework, So that you could pass the class,

[celine-rc]

Going to visit temples tomorrow in Mtl. Should be fun. Only annoying thing is that D is going to be there...

 

People think because you're close that something deeper is going on and they shut up and stare to see if they catch you out

Personally as I said it's rude and they need to focus more on their own lives instead of yours

My friend's boyfriend hates it when I'm there as he hates Céline (I know VERY rude ) and we don't shut even when we watch a Céline dvd

As for helping it's what I love to do (if I can) I was born in the Chinese year of the rat which means that I care more about other's feelings than my own (comes naturally which sometimes isn't a good thing but for the most part it is good)

 

you're so funny ! You know, I wouldn't even be surprised if that would be what they are looking for ! We have never done anything ''wrong'' !! Like, no ! Seems to be that it's not because she's more than twice my age (38) that we can't be friends (to be honest, I don't really notice it...).

He hates Céline ??! It must be so annoying when you're trying to watch a Céline DVD !

It's funny, I was also born in the year of the rat... That suddenly explains a lot, like why I ask S and my friends so often how they're doing, worry when they say no (like, what to you do when people say that !??!)... Explains a lot. Thanks.

[Peppercorn1991]

Just found out about Javito! all i can say is im shocked! I hope im not silenced like that id hate it.

 

This forum becomes part of our lives and to take it away like that is horrible, i dont know where id be without this forum i have moaned about javito in the past but only because it was the same things he sometimes wrote, but the things he did write were mostly spot on. Javito i miss you man.... :/

 

Is there no way of letting him come back? please?

[celine-rc]

I was just thinking... Our generation grew up with the beautiful songs of Celine, Whitney, Mariah... Today kids grow up with Justin Bieber...

 

Poor kids !!!! Good observation !

[*Daniel]

Poor kids !!!! Good observation !

 

 

No wonder why I don't like Justin Bieber but then I love Taylor Swift and Delta Goodren, whats the story there?

[Peppercorn1991]

I just wanted to say to everyone on the forum thank-you for everything each one of you does on here. Every member brings something to the forum. Ive made some good friends on here, and i sometimes feel like the forum is a place to escape from and feel happy.

 

 

I've had a bad few months, we found out my dad had liver cancer mid September and within a month he is now gone from us He died a few weeks ago and its been a really hard time for me. I'm not even sure I've got my head around it yet. My Dad adopted me and my brother at an early age because of problems with my birth parents. He was our "real" granddad and decided instead of letting us go into care and us both be separated, that he would fight his way and adopt us. This took 2 years of his life while we were in foster care and he spent thousands of pounds (all his saving for the future). He was such a good man and its obvious that i miss him, but he wasn't only my dad, he was my Hero

 

He had already had his children and they had grown up and then he takes on 2 young children on his own (my nan had left him just after we were adopted). He had always worked away lorry driving on long shifts so before adopting us my gran would take care of the household chores, cook, clean ect. He never had to do this before. So at aged 50 he had to learn how to do all of that for himself for the first time and then take on two young children.

 

What saddens me the most is the fact he adopted us and sacrificed his future and time to rest to make sure we were both ok, and he would do anything for us (not saying he wasnt a pain sometimes lol and little oldfasioned , but he was always ALWAYS there ). The sad part is that me and my brother are grown up now and my dad was making plans to go America and do some of the things he has always wanted to do, and after sacrificing another 20 years of his life he could finally retire and settle down.

 

My dad retired on June 10th this year and in the final hour of his work, he started to feel ill and was never right since. It took months for the doctors to find out he had cancer of the liver. And this is what upsets me the most, he had time for himself now and the day he could do what he wants and have some fun he fell ill, he didn't even have one day of enjoying retirement.

 

I'm now 21 and my brother is 19 so we are old enough to look after ourselves, but its not easy because my brother isn't independent like me, he always had dad do everything for him, now my brother has to learn all this for himself. I worry constantly about him being ok. I can only do so much for him because i am at University in my final year of my degree and i cant mess this up. I've got be be a teacher more than ever now, for my dad. At least i'm not too far from home where i live. But i just hope i'm doing everything i can for him, i just don't want him to go the wrong way and i don't know how its all going to plan out.

 

I'm really really sorry for sharing this with you all, but i class some of you as friends and great people, and i spend so much time on this forum you all mean a lot to me. In away i feel like its helping me. Celine and this forum always does, keeps my spirit up and that's why i sometimes moan about the negative comments, because i just want this to be a happy place. This forum has been my escape from all of this and has been bringing me happiness. So thank you all, i think your all great!

 

Below is my dad last year, aged 67. His Hobby was buying a rusty, old, vintage tractor and working on it until it was like a new tractor (and because the tractor is vintage its worth something) , he would then do the same with a plough to fit the tractor and then enter ploughing competitions (some of you will know about these) where about 100 other people would do the same. They all had a plot to plough and it was the nicest looking ploughing judged at the end. Trust me this was not my Favorite hobby, i had no interest....i think i watched apples been crushed for 3 hours one day. BUT i always had the headphones on listening to our queen, the one and only celine lol. Anyway on this day he had won 1st prize and he was really happy and proud, and so he should be!

 

X RIP DAD, LOVE YOU ALWAYS X

Thanks again guys

kevin, You've been through more than anyone deserves to go through at your age. Be strong, don't close yourself, and remain open. Good things will come to you and in good time. As a wise woman once said, "sometimes you have to go down before you can go up again." It's easy to lose sight in the beauty of living, especially when you lose someone so dear to you. This experience has probably made you grow up faster than planned, but I think in the end you'll be strong and have a grasp on what's real and what's important in life. Don't give up, remain strong, hang on and stay close to those that mean the most to you. Remember that you have family here, too.

 

P.S. Make sure you look up the words to "Le miracle." I think it will help.

Kevin, I just feel for you so much! But Alex said it well - believe that good things are on the way. Edited November 9, 2012 at 06:11 AM by Bell

[zoe marie]

Kev...You have been through so much...I admire your strength and loyality towards your brother hunnie...we're all here anytime you need to vent

Glad I could help with the 'defining who you are' part lol. I'm worse (I suspect) than most other people born in the year of the rat as I'm a doormat to my family as I find it hard to say no (not impossible as I have once or twice in last 28 years ) but VERY rare.

 

No wonder why I don't like Justin Bieber but then I love Taylor Swift and Delta Goodren, whats the story there?

 

Delta Goodrem is classy whereas Justin Bieber is young and expects the world to be his oyster (British phrase sorry)

[celine-rc]

Got stage at TVA... Unbelievable !

[Del]

Wow Kevin, thank for sharing that with us. Very touching and heartfelt story you told us. I'm very sorry you had to go through all that. I know there are no words to make it better but I believe Alex said was perfect. Things will improve with time.

[Macaronie]

so sorry to her Kev

[Macaronie]

Oh and Alex...just coz it's you

[J-Man]

Oh and Alex...just coz it's you

 

[J-Man]

Thank you for feeling you could share that with us Kevin, I hope that speaking about it helps you to come to terms with it easier. He sounds like he was a very special man and the way he stepped up to the plate and gave you and your brother a home and a family at such a young age is something which you should righty be very proud of. As long as you continue down the road you are going and remember the values he has instilled in you throughout your childhood I am sure that you will be just fine in the future The fact that you are already looking out for your brother says enough.

 

Stay strong and remember that the greatest complement you can pay your dad is to become a man that you yourself can be proud of. x

[Alex_Incognito]

Oh and Alex...just coz it's you

 

I know you want my body, Jeroen.

[Alex_Incognito]

Money, Money, Money

Must be funny

In a rich man's world

[Macaronie]

Tonight's your lucky night I know you want iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[Alex_Incognito]

woah-o-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooo-oo-oooh

[sfbaysinger]

Kevin...you never have to feel bad about sharing what's on your mind here. That's the point. We talk about our lives here as well...& yours sounds like it's had some serious twists/turns. Issues with birth parenss can really set a child up for feeling abandoned their whole life, but your dad came through for you. He did become your dad...words like granddad, etc. they're just words/labels, they don't do justice/show Who we really are. He made it more than just a word, he became the embodiment of the love that Is a father. And that's what you're doing as an older brother...you learned from the best. As long as their is love in your heart for him and you ask/consult your heart as to how to help him, you can never go wrong.

I was moved to tears when you shared that he spent thousands of pounds, his whole life savings, to adopt you. Just, no limit, whatever it took he was willing to do it. He sounds like the epitome of "If That's What It Takes!" I wish I'd had that. That's love. No wonder you miss such an amazing person. The sadness of that seems so big inside me that tears aren't enough to get it out of me...I don't have that, I never did. No wonder this man is your hero.

I think that, though he did not have a day for himself on This planet, wherever he is, I am sure he is getting it now. And I am almost positive he did get enjoyment, out of you & your brother.

When you share what he did with plough/tractor, taking the old/unused/unwanted/forgotten & making it new, in a way, that is what he did for you boys as well...making a place for you. You are very loved even though he is not here.

I agree so much, this forum has become a part of a lot of our lives & I relate to escaping with it for a while & wanting only positivity here. I feel that in this thread we manage that very well. I hope you find peace/love/joy in any & every way you can. We are here for you.

[Mrs.Goldman]

I found a group of amazing french people, who make me feel like I'm at home... (even though I'm not french) but.... they also keep making me sentimental and make me feel of someone else who I miss alot... too much...
