The Most Beautiful Woman in The World for 2013 is a Filipina

-
 

Yes, finally, our representative bagged that elusive crown we have attempted to bring home for many decades.  In the paradise island of Bali, one of 17,500 islands of the largest archipelago in the world, Indonesia, Megan Young would make history for she is the first Filipina who would reign as Miss World for one year.  Her bright and round expressive eyes, statuesque figure and confident answer (never mind if it is generic) would convince the judges that the crown belongs to her.  She'd been a favorite from the moment she arrived in Bali, captivating the hearts of many.   Megan maintained her top post throughout the entire process, winning some minor awards and even performing one of the epic dances from our Muslim brothers. Indeed, the Philippines got the perfect ticket and she was ripe and for the opportunity.  The timing was simply impeccable.

 The timing couldn't be more perfect especially that the Philippines needed a silver lining when everything has been turning sour and gray.   Megan momentarily took our attention off of the mini-war between the armed Islamic group and government troops in Zamboanga City.   We had eagerly awaited news from Bali while also following the investigations about the PDAF Scam being  investigated by our selected Senators.  We read with positive hopes the articles about the Miss World Pageant and hoped that Megan will be able to wear that crown and walk that walk for one year.  And she did not disappoint.  

 Megan should feel uber-proud for bringing such an honor to the country and to the Filipinos for being the first Filipina to bring home the Miss World crown.  What a joyous event and a wonderful night for those who supported and believed in her capacity to perform the Miss World duties and tasks.  For here, in the middle of paradise, before the millions of people who watched the pageant all over the world, Megan made a promise to be the best embodiment of a Miss World and no doubt she will keep that promise.  Congratulations, Megan!!!

Circle of Fun is the Latest attraction in Quezon City Memorial Circle

I was in Quezon Memorial Circle this afternoon and I chanced upon this mini amusement center currently being constructed inside the big Quezon City landmark.  This new attraction at the QCMC showcases thrilling rides like the Wild Wind.  This is actually like the Space Shuttle of Enchanted Kingdom in Santa Rosa, Laguna.  It is a modified form of the traditional roller-coaster.  There are also rides for the little ones like the usual water bump cars.  And the horror rides which I will dare not ride because I do not have the kind of heart that can withstand intense fear.   While I laud the Quezon City government for this endeavor of providing a small amusement park for the residents of Quezon City so that they do not have to go all the way to Star City or Enchanted Kingdom to be able to experience the different rides, I can't help but feel dismayed over the changes in the scenery inside the memorial.  I frequented the place way, way back whe...

    One of the reasons that tourists go to Mt. Mayon in droves is the ATV Adventure.   This activity allows tourists to go to the foot of Mt.  Mayon and see the beauty of this great lady up close by means of an all-terrain vehicle.  Up there, visitors can also enjoy the view of the city of Legaspi.  They can also savor the scent of the clean mountain air and get lots and lots of photographs amid the verdant background.  ATV stands for all-terrain vehicle.  This transportation is especially built to enable riders to get past all kinds of terrain , may it be rough, rocky, watery, sandy, muddy, hilly, etc.  It is basically automatic, but it also has gears (I wouldn't know when to use them, if you ask me.)    Before I started my three-hour drive to the foot of Mt. Mayon, I had a quick dry-run just to test if the machine was working well.  Also I made sure that  I was wearing all the necessary gears to keep me sa...

While enjoying my breakfast of adobong baboy and hot beef soup in Mam and Sir Diner located along the high way in Silay City, I noticed that most of the people around me were mestizas and mestizos so the curiouser I got about the history, not only of Silay but also of Negros Occidental. Silay City is also known as the Paris of Negros because of the well-preserved old haciendas , about 30 of them, that provide a glimpse of life back when it was the leading sugar-producer in the country, examples of these are the Balay Negrense and the Bernardino-Ysabel Jalandoni Home which have been turned into museums for guests to appreciate the history and the culture of the town especially during when hacienderos were the leading figures of society. The Balay Negrense boasts of memorabilia and architectural features dating back 1897 when it was built by Victor F. Gaston, son of Yves Leopold Germain Gaston, a Frenchman who married a Batanguena and later on relocated to Negros. Balay Neg...
