What do stars do? They shine.

Just last Sunday, I was so happy that I was able to spend time with my former workmates at One Global aka ePac. It’s been so long since the last time we were all together (We missed Riz, Reah, Romzkee, Karen, and Ying, though). Ryan, the webmaster of Miss Earth’s official website, had complimentary passes so he invited Bheng, Nico, Sarah, Kelly, Vanz, Emz, and me to the 7th Annual Miss Earth Pageant at the UP Theater in UP Diliman.

My bet, Miss Canada, won the pageant. She’s pretty, intelligent and confident. And she’s half-Filipina! Kewlness. Miss India (Bheng and Sarah’s bet) came in 2nd, and Miss Switzerland (Kelly’s bet)… didn’t make it to the final four. Lol! I think the Spanish-speaking candidates had a shot at winning the crown too if not for their st*pid translator who just couldn’t get the translation right. He kept stuttering and shaking his head as though searching for the right words to use hence the candidates’ answers kind of lost their impact. Not that I could translate Spanish, but really, they could’ve done better with another interpreter.

I had so much fun despite the fact that we had to wear cocktail dresses (although I can’t really call the one I wore a “cocktail dress”). Thanks, Rai, for inviting me! Next year ulit! Haha.
