65th Miss Universe is Iris Mittenaere of France!

So today (Philippine time) is the 65th Miss Universe coronation night. I'm excited. Good thing I was able to watch it becos we now have TV here at the office.

I'm happy for the results of the Miss Universe 2016. And I'm also happy with the Philippines' bet Maxine Medina's top 6 finish. She gave it her all and we are truly proud of her. It ain't easy being in the top 6, right?

But what I am most happy about is that finally,  a girl from a European country wins as the new Miss Universe! Yaaaay! I've always wanted someone from Europe to win the prestigious pageant in the universe! It's been a long while, you know? If we won't count Russia's win back in 2002, we had waited for 26 years (Norway won Miss Universe in 1990) for a European girl to be crown as Miss Universe.

This edition gave me a lot of roller coaster ride of feelings! The girls in the top 13 were unpredictable! Congratulations, Iris Mittenaere for winning the title of 65th Miss Universe. And congratulations to your country and to Europe! You finally got the crown. Amaaaaazing!

Vive la  FRANCE!
