Scribesmeister v4 (In Zero Gravity)

I know, this is two days overdue but who could blame me? We had just recovered 37 out of almost 200 pictures from the screwed-up memory card. I should be glad that at least, we were able to salvage some of it although all the other beautiful pictures I took turned into waste. Grr.

The attendees: Rai, Nico, Vanz, Em, Beng, Joni, Kelly and yours truly.

I went stag on this date. So please stop associating me with anybody. LOL.

At long last, the occasion to wear my red wrap-around tube cocktail dress finally came. I haven’t worn this since the day it was given to me - and that was a long time ago. I really don’t like attending affairs such as this where I’d have to dress up and make an effort to look…err, mature? LOL! If there’s one socialite among the group, it has to be Kelly (the queen of presscons) or Rai (the marketing manager slash pimp). Haha. Anyway, it was hard to fix my hair the way I wanted it, so after much deliberation - I tried straightening the tresses, pulled my bangs behind and clipped it. I even forgot to sweep a pink tint over my cheeks. See? If not for my eye shadow and cherry lipstick, I would have looked really pale. Haha. Well, even the dab of lipstick didn’t last long, you know. Because even before the pageant started, I was already eating fishballs and kikiam on the sidewalk, gulping a bottle of water and wiping the mess off my lips. I never retouched my make up nor combed my hair - it’s supposed to look messy. Haha. My friends kept joking me that I could bag the title of Little Miss Earth if there was one - apparently, there is (no kidding). Haha! Oh come on, I’m over involuntarily joining pageants back in the days when my face still matches my age. Sshhh.

Moving on, here’s former MTV Vj Utt and his Brazilian co-host whose name I have forgotten. Sorry.

welcoming the 88 Ms. Earth ‘07 candidates

the crowd’s going wild (except for the anti-social “us”) and cheering for the ones they are rooting for. Yay! I captured the Philippine flag.

fast forward: Ms. Canada won the Ms. Earth 2007 title (my bet was Ms. India), whom I recently learned to be half-filipina. I knew it. Filipinas have this unmistakable “it” factor in them. Haha. Nah, it’s just that she looks like one and besides, who else could distinguish better but the ones with Filipino blood?The event ran for almost 4 hours exclusive of 2 hours waiting time. Does Filipino time really affects other clock synchronization? Anyway, it wouldn’t have mattered that much now if only I had got the other pictures from my camwhoring sessions in between long breaks. Pfft.
