Miss Earth vs Miss Asia Pacific

Both of these pageants were hosted by the country and from the same production. After the death of Miss Asia Pacific, Miss Earth emerged. But you can see the big difference in Final Night Presentation where the latter was held in Versailles Palace for the past 2 years, which i think not really a good idea at all. I'd watched the previous Miss Earth shows from 2011 backwards where the Final Night was held in an auditorium, it actually looks better especially Miss Earth 2011. I was impressed with the Opening Number. To be honest, it is much better than other Big International Pageants.

I decided to watch Miss Earth 2013 a week ago, seriously, I can't stand it. The camera man seems don't know what he is doing, it has the reputation of poor Interpreter, low cost stage setting etc. It was very embarrassing. What embarrass me more was when they played Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus during the Night Gown Presentation. My Gosh!!!

Philippines is a veteran in hosting and organizing big pageants like this. Hope the producers will consider the audience opinions and produce a better much and more organize presentation.

Well, good luck next year.

Top 5 Most Beautiful Pinay Beauty Queens

Ever since i was a kid, I love to watch Beauty Pageants but it all stop when i started to get a job and i became too occupied with other things. Just last year 2013, when Megan Young bagged the first crown for the country Philippines in Ms. World competition held in Indonesia, it rekindles my interest in Beauty Pageants and since then i'd been rooting for Filipinas competing for big international pageants like MissUniverse, Miss Supranational, Miss International etc. I decided to make my own Top 5 for the Most Beautiful Pinay Beauty Queens.

Top 1

Miss World 2013 Megan Young

She doesn't look like a typical Filipina Beauty because she's Half-Filipino, Half-American.

Grew up in the US and migrated here in the Philippines since she was 10 years old. 

She's a popular actress and host in the country.

I never get tired looking at her. I love her eyes most especially and even her full lips.

She looks perfect to me. I like her skin color also. Her body is slim but curvaceous.

She deserves to be on the #1 spot.

If there are more Filipinas at par with Megan Youngs' beauty, wow, Philippines definitely has a big chance to bag all these crowns from major beauty pageants.

Top 2

Miss Supranational 2013 Mutya Datul

Her beauty can be very addicting. What i love about her is she's a pure blooded Filipino which i am very proud of. I'd watched the video where she competed for Miss Supranational 2013 in Belarus and i am really impressed how she walked with confidence on her swimsuit. I also love the way she flaunts her National Costume. I think it's the major reason why she bagged the crown aside from her strong personality. This girl can also sing which maybe impressed the judges during the talent competition. She's tall and sexy too.

I'm just little concern with her communication skills. I hope she'll train herself more on that.

Top 3

Miss World 1993 2nd Runner Up Ruffa Gutierrez

She looks more Latina to me probably because both her parents have Spanish blood in them. She's 5'9" tall and has a very fair complexion. She's a famous actress in the country prior to joining Miss World 1993. I actually like her answer during the Q&A. She's also been applauded by the judges and the crowd. I like her confidence and how she speaks in English. I think she studied in the US that's why.

Top 4

Binibining Pilipinas Universe 1994 Charlene Gonzales

She won Best National Costume and placed top 6 in Miss Universe 1994 held in the country.

She's very pretty and smart. I just don't like her hair during the competition. It looked like being sprayed with a whole bottle of hair spray on it. She's still active in showbiz until now. Happily married with 2 kids.

Top 5

Binibining Pilipinas Universe 1996 Aileen Damiles

I can't find a latest picture of her since she's one among the few who decided to be away from the limelight. She didn't get a place during the pageant but she bagged the award for Miss Photogenic during Miss Universe 1996 pageant which made her deserving to be on this list :D

Korean Drama Review: Can You Hear My Heart

This Korean Drama has a total of 30 Episodes. I'm not finish watching it yet. I'm not even half-way but i think this is the first Drama i'd watch that i learned to skip some parts. First of all, I am disappointed with some cast like the guy who played Joon Ha. Bong Ma Roo, when he was still a kid is a good looking guy. It was kinda suspense that the grown up Bong Ma Roo wasn't showed right away and then when he was, all i do was SIGH and SMH. 2nd reason, the story is draggy. Every minute, every scene they all keep talking/thinking about the lost boy Bong Ma Roo, it starts to hurt my ears. 3rd, the girl who played Bong Woo Ri seemed over acting in some scenes. Usually, i get impressed how the Korean Actors & Actresses acted so naturally but in this series, i'm somehow disappointed. Also, most of the time, when i started to watch the series, i can't stop myself to the point that i slept late at night, at 3am to be exact. Well, i will soon watch Episode 12 but i'm not really too motivated or inspired to watch it right away so i have time to do other things like blogging and surfing the net hehe.

[Korean Series] Faith

This series makes me yawn watching the first few episodes but i never dared to skip any part. Some scenes can be annoying and draggy but i don't wanna sleep because i wanna keep watching it. I can't remember how many times i cried while watching the whole series but i am very happy how the story ends. I was a bit sad thinking it will be another tragic love story which reminds me of Queen Seon Deok Series. Also the soundtrack Carry On by Ali suits very well to this series. It might be my fave song for the whole month. I won't get tired listening to it over and over. It gave me mixed emotions, being sad and happy at the same time.

Bawat Hakbang: Karl Vincent H. Villuga

 I heard the teaser of each song already and in my honest opinion, only 4 got my 2 thumbs up. If they are serious in reviving the dying OPM, we should target bigger market. Make a song that makes the whole world wanna hear. Take a look at K-POP, imagine how much Koreans earned from their international fans. Selling CD's, goodies and concerts. What's their secret? It's not even a secret actually. It's pretty obvious. Why not we learn from them? Filipinos can even sing better than them!!!

Anway, songs like 3:AM and Slowdancing are some of the best songs i've heard written by an amateur which i'm really proud of. We have tons of amazing singers here. Even Ellen DeGeneres said that "Some of the best singers are from the Philippines". It's a big waste of talent if there are no great songs for them to sing.

Well actually, there are lots of great Indie songs out there waiting to be heard. Seriously? Some of those are even better than those songs above. 

Also, i noticed that most of the adjudicators are males, no wonder only 2 females got in out of 14 slots. And yes, you can hear the pattern of the winning songs.

Stop singing revival songs, stop making a pop song acoustic or Tagalize a Korean or Japanese or English songs. It's time to upgrade OPM. Wake Up!!!!

Let's Vote For Charice!!!

It was the first time a Filipino artist originated from Philippines was nominated at 2012 Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Award. Also the first time to have a Best Asian Act Category. Charice is competing with Wonder Girls from Korea, Yuna from Malaysia and Agnes Monica from Indonesia. Both Charice and Wonder Girls were able to penetrate Billboard Top Chart. As of the other 2 singers, i haven't heard them made it big yet in Hollywood. Agnes Monica was reportedly made a duet with Michael Bolton in his soon be released album. Only Charice made it BIG so far. Being able to performed on Ellen DeGeneres Show, Oprah Winfrey Show and some Morning TV Shows in the US. Also, Charice has an upcoming Hollywood movie with some famous Hollywood Stars like Salma Hayek which will be shown in few months and i'm obviously excited for it! So Goodluck to her and i won't stop voting non-stop. To join the madness, please click HERE to vote!

Charice Hairstyles

My Top 1 and my forever favorite picture of Charice. She looks like a baby doll here. Super gorgeous!

 

I love this hairstyle too. I wish i could have a picture of myself flaunting the same hairstyle like this someday. Very simple yet pretty. 

  

When she's a bit younger and a bit skinnier. The hair rocks!

Just the common hairstyle. I love it when she colors her hair. She's blessed to have a natural gorgeous hair.

Her new hairstyle for 2012. Very short and punky. So anime! But i like it :D

David Archuleta Sings Tagalog!

 

I can't wait to hear the full version of this song. Seriously, his accent is quite impressive. This song is called Nandito Ako (Here I Am). David is here in Manila for 3 weeks, shooting a mini series at TV5. I think this is the first time that a Philippine TV station showcases a talent/singer from Hollywood. And probably first time for david to act? I'm not sure about that but we'll see how this series will turn out :P

The script is mostly in English so it's not that hard for him, he said. He was paired with 2 leading ladies, a love triangle story, hmnn very common, but since it's David Archuleta, i might gonna watch it hehe.
