Beauty Queens and Politics

I watched Miss Universe 2007 yesterday partly in ABS- CBN 2, partly in Starworld 48. The latter had announced the winner in advance, but that's only because of the endless commercial breaks in the previous. I really thought Miss Korea looked fantastic, and I really liked Ms. Tennessee Rachel Smith AKA Miss USA. But I guess Miss Japan deserved it; she was really confident and all that (although I am, up to now, still trying to understand the connection to her answer from the winning question).

I'm glad that Ms. Philippines won Ms. Photogenic. She looked really hot. Overall, I'm proud to say that I am Asian; Ms. China also banked Ms. Congeniality (although am not so sure if she knows what that really means) so Asian women really made a mark partly.

It's just sad that the Mexicans booed Ms. USA just because of that stupid immigration law. I guess I can understand where they are coming from, but I don't believe that Ms. Universe Pageant is the right place to voice out their opinions. The pageant is for the upholding of the beautiful aspects of different and differing nations, with the women as their representatives. It is not Ms. USA's fault if her country's lawmakers are making life hellish for the people who contribute to their society.

Just a thought anyway.

Am at work right now, and should be logging out by now. I've given eight hours of work already, but I want to hear my feedbacks from the coach. I believe my SD2 is better than my first, although I still forgot some important points.

I'm kinda sleepy right now... never been one to pull an all-nighter... It's also a bit disappointing that I'm not getting lucky with the guys I want to get to know and I'm kind of jealous because a friend is getting what I want... Story of my life.

I'm so tired. Would've to go home afterwards, and maybe go to Sta. Lucia before I go to work later at 10PM again.
