Miss Venezuela Stefania Fernandez

Miss Venezuela Stefania Fernandez won the Miss Universe 2009 beauty pageant held in Nassau, Bahamas today. I woke up late but I was still able to watch the question and answer portion of the pageant. The girls were smart, but not that smart. But back to the topic of my post, after watching Miss Venezuela win again this year it made me do some research about the supposedly beauty pageant school they have in Venezuela. I have heard of Osmel Sousa before but I just read more about him today. I stumbled upon some stuffs on my googling and I want to post them here in my blog. I have already shared this on my FaceBook and Plurk accounts and so far the responses I’ve received are not that nice – as I expected it would be. LOL. Tell me want you think as well guys!

And by the way before clicking the links below I just want to say that I think vanity is not a sin as long as it’s in moderation. It’s not wrong to want to look good. But as we always hear, look good for yourself first and not for the benefit of other people. Self- acceptance is a must.

Osmel Sousa Does Not Believe In Inner Beauty Because, Seriously, Have You Ever Seen A Kidney?

Tall, tanned and young and lovely: the girls from Venezuela

And here’s the kicker, a video from YouTube of the Beauty Obsession in Venezuela. Embedding was disabled by request.

meet Russell!

Tim and I watched Up at the movies yesterday and it was as good as I expected it would be. So many heart-warming moments and some lessons in life was also imparted by the movie. I love Russell! He’s so cute! I am making this post to share with you my favorite scene from Up and to those who haven’t watched Up yet, you better watch it now and tell me what you think.

But unfortunately, embedding of the video was disabled by request on YouTube so I can only share with you guys the link. Click here and enjoy!

The happiest people in the world are those who have a hard time recalling their worries..

and an easy time remembering their blessings.

I had an awesome weekend! And this post is so late. LOL. Last Saturday August 15th was the first meet-up of the Iloilo Bloggers. We had lunch at Fort San Pedro and discussed the future of our group. We elected a new set of officers and planned for future events and meet-ups. Congrats to Claire – our new President! The lunch and meeting was fun because everyone really had the best sense of humor. You should hear Efren and Junelle laugh! It was also great to see Marcos again and I’m glad to meet Antoine Greg in person. We are also recruiting Ronald to become a member of the group as well as some of Junnjun’s friends!

And last Sunday, Tim went home to Kabankalan so I had the chance to hang out with my best pals Monica and Amy. We had lunch and coffee. I haven’t seen Amy since we went to Guimaras in May so we had so much stuff to ‘talk’ about. LOL. Monica and I meet often so I don’t miss her. Joke lang Nix!harhar!
