NHA TRANG, Vietnam - Miss Venezuela was crowned Miss Universe 2008 on Monday in a contest marked by the spectacle of Miss USA falling down during the evening gown competition for the second year in a row.
The new Miss Universe, Dayana Mendoza, was once kidnapped in her homeland and says the experience taught her to remain poised under pressure.
Tension got under the skin of Miss USA, Crystle Stewart of Texas, who tripped on the train of her bejeweled evening gown as she made her entrance.
At a news conference after this year’s event, a beaming Mendoza said she wasn’t yet sure where her upcoming year of whirlwind appearances would take her. But after a quick stop in New York, she wants to see her family again, enjoy some of her mom’s home cooking and give everyone hugs. Read more…
Yup! I mean it! It’s time for me to cool down and eliminate some of the attitudes that I have. I don’t believe in New Year’s resolution, but I do believe in making my self better than before. ^_^
My birthday is coming up, yet I don’t have any idea what will in store for me on my 24th year. I hope that more “positive” accomplishments rather than another failure, waste of time, whatever!
I heard this song last Sunday night, while lying on my bed. I didn’t know the title then, so I copied some of the lyrics that I heard. I searched it then on youtube and ola! Found it!
When I see your smile
Tears roll down my face I can’t replace
And now that I’m strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I’ll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I’ll stand up with you forever
I’ll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I’ll be the one
I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I’ll stand up with you forever
I’ll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you’re my, you’re my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don’t throw that away
Cuz I’m here for you
Please don’t walk away and
Please tell me you’ll stay woah, stay woah
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I’ll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I’ll stand up with you forever
I’ll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven [to fade]
Last Saturday or should I say Sunday (in the Philippines) Filipinos stopped whatever they’re doing and switched off to their respective televisions or radios for…that includes myself…for one reason, to see the Manny Pacquiao and David Diaz fight: The Lethal Combination. ^_^
Ok, so the fight was not live on TV but it was on the radio. So, while waiting for the fight to be televised, I turned on my radio and had it on its highest volume while cooking my favorite, Adobo. Since, it was live, I lend my ears and listened carefully as the DJs (i don’t know if they were DJ’s or just announcers) carefully announced every detail of the fight. It was nerve wrecking to hear those comments and all. But in the end, as I expected, Manny won. I waited for an hour to see it on TV. It’s really that different watching the fight than just listening.
So I spent my 2 hours watching the telecast and was surprise to see the bloody face of Diaz and I pitied him so much. Though he had those cuts and blood on his face he still managed to last till round 9. When he finally got knocked, I was so happy. Happy that Manny Pacquiao got another Title as Lightweight Champion, made history as the first Asian to have 4 titles, and of course for giving us, Filipinos another pride. Read more…
Finally, after years of wanting to have one, now I just got it. I am not a sneaker fan all my life. Wearing high-heeled shoes or sandals is just my thing.
So why did I buy Converse’s Chuck Taylor? Honestly, I like it’s rugged design. Simple. Cool. Wearable.I bought it as my birthday gift for my self. ^_^
Mine is black. Before I wanted to buy the one with designs, but it’s just too pricey for me.So, I chose the plain one instead.
There are times, especially at night with my radio on, I think a lot of things. I always think of the past, not because I regret something that I’ve done. I think because I want to reminisce different instances of my life, even if they’re good or not. When I start to go back, I always ask my self…What if…?
Here are the things that I thought during those times:
What if I took up nursing? Will I ever get through my phobia with injections?
What if I didn’t approach Joy on my very first day in College? Will there be PEDAS friendhip?
What if I ignored this guy who flirted with me? Will we be friends till now?
What if I pursued what i felt with him? Will I feel awkward towards him?
What if I gave him a chance? Are we still together?
Though we can never bring back the past, still we think of the things from it and hope for a rewind. But this is life! It really depends on us on how to live the present and look forward for the future.
