Renewed & Refilled- Tripple 7 Dimension

It is a great mystery what happened to me in the last three months (April to June). Energy depleted, enthusiasm sipped away, I wandered in a mental quandary. I trudged on because of my love for all the fans of this telenovela blog. I knew my telenovela output was wanning, but I was seemingly powerless to reverse it.

Today is a unique and special day, we are a privileged generation. The 7th day of the 7th month of the 7th year of this millennium is indeed a special day, as the New York Times recognized it. This day provided the answer to the much-sought revival for my telenovela journey, which was going down (in fact, I was operating at 20% of my normal telenovela output). I was re-fired, re-vitalized and re-invigorated. Now I shall move forward, having broken free from the telenovela stagnation that held me spellbound for the last quarter.

Thanks to all of you out there who would not give up. Many anonymous, many- my friends, Big sister Sharon Babs (I call her sweet mama), Omodesola, Bola, Afusat, Shirley, Olichin2002, Chams, Nnenna, Abbas, Newking, Aishat bt, 5Alive, and others too numerous to mention. let it be known by all who care that a fresh 7-7-7 anointing has lifted me out of that of the mental prison and I am free to do exploits now.

The Gardener's Daughter, though over-flogged, also re-emerged during my 'go-slow' season, on a local Television- LTV. All About Camila (Todo Sobre Camila), took off on another local station MBI T.V. Also the popular "SECOND CHANCE" (El Cuerpo del Deseo) is also about to kick off on Galaxy Television. Meanwhile, I am resuming Catalina y Sebastine. That is my priority debt to you and must be paid off.

The D(Disappointment)-Day!

At last, the D-day is here. It was a day of disappointment for the Negrete family. The whole of their plans went up in a puff. Right from the house, where they were confronted with a writ of summon from the court by creditors, who threaten to put Gustavo in jail for defaulting to pay his monumental debts.

Emilia was able to obtain an invitation to the wedding ceremony in church, from her friend, Martina. Antoniete attached herself to Emilia for the grand occasion.

Carmelo overheard Antoniete as she was mocking Lupe that he is not sure and could not bet the paternity of his children- Sebastian and Martina. This information later became an arsenal in the hands of Carmelo.

Carmelo later went to negotiate with Antonete to help him prove that Sebastian was not the true son of Lupe, because he believed he (Carmelo) was the true heir. Nothing goes for nothing, Antoniete laid down conditions for helping Carmelo: "Trouble and torment Lupe and I will tell you your true paternity!" This was a hard one for him to swallow.

Adela chattered a Limousine to carry the bridal family to the hacienda ranch. On arrival they were ushered into the unkempt hovel of Carmelo where they had a change of clothes. This was the premeditated plot to humiliate them. They all protested the treatment, but played along knowing that after the wedding they would be taken to the big Mendoza mansion.

Carmelo was instantly stunned by the angelic beauty of Catalina, he secretly fell in love with her immediately. He also stuck to the humiliation plot, as he drove the whole family on a pick-up truck to the church.

On arrival at the church, they were welcomed by Sebastian and Catalina chose the opportunity to greet and tell Lupe that she was pleased to meet her father-in-law. Guadalupe launched his own part of the 'love test' by 'correcting' her, saying that he was not Sebastian's father. He 'claimed' that Sebastian was only his foreman, and he only loved him as if he were his own son.

Catalina lost her balance and composure on hearing this. Sebastian quickly told her that he hid the 'truth' from her because he was afraid of loosing her love. He too corroborated the lie that, he was a foreman, ... then, all hell broke loose as Adela and Ricardo vehemently and stridently protested the deception...
