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!

Miss International 2016 is Kylie Versoza of the Philippines!

Omggg!

I know you have heard about it already. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Philippines' bet Kylie Verzosa is the new Miss International 2016! She bested out 68 girls and eventually bagged our country's 6th Miss International crown. I knew it from the get-go that she would win it. Or if not the eventual winner, Kylie would be among the top 5. But I've always believed in her (haven't followed her journey tho in Binibining Pilipinas) and looking at her, she totally screams Miss International. Yep, hands down.

`So happy that I got to witness the crowning of a Miss International from my country, the Philippines in my lifetime and for the third time.

Your kababayans are so proud of you, Queen Kylie! Congratulations! Hurrah!

Miss International crown totally fits Kylie Verzosa's head. ♥

Again, congratulations to all the winners, especially to Ms. Kylie Verzosa! ♥

Miss USA 2015 is Olivia Jordan!

Hello~ it's been a while. I thought, it's time to post something here since it is July already.

Anyway, the blog today is about the recently concluded Miss USA 2015 which was held yesterday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Fifty-one girls from different states battled for one crown. And the emerging winner, as most of the pageant fans have predicted, is the girl from Oklahoma, Olivia Jordan! Yay! I actually liked her from the start for the crown. And I watched the recorded video on YouTube and I must say that Olivia Jordan is totally a deserving winner. She was also the best in the Q & A portion which some of the girls in the top 5 stumbled with their answers. So, yeah~ I was really happy that she got to win the crown.

And oh, btw, she was actually the representative of the United States in the Miss World pageant back in 2013. They say that it's the first time an American held both titles Miss World United States and Miss USA and be able to compete in both pageants. I'm hoping for the best for her in the upcoming Miss Universe 2015 pageant! :)

She's the classic all-American girl! Congratulations Olivia Jordan!
