Philippine Pageant Update 3... 2 Major crowns.

2015 is about to end, and we're just waiting for Miss Tourism International and Miss Tourism Queen of the Year to conclude this year's roster of pageant winners.

Lessons from a Pencil Maker

A pencil maker told the pencil four important lessons.

1.) Eveything you do will leave a mark.
2.) You can always correct the mistake you make.
3.) What is important is what is inside you.
4.) In life, you will undergo painful sharpening which will make you a better pencil.

Quotes XXVII

If you don't go after what you want... you'll never have it.
If you don't ask, the answer is always no!
If you don't step forward, you're always on the same place.
Take risks for life goes on.

Miss Universe 2015

And the long over due 3rd crown had been granted...

I got a mix feeling for this... although of course I feel so happy that Pia Wurtzbach got the 3rd Miss Universe crown for the the Philippines, I somehow feel sorry for Miss Colombia. Philippines was primarily announced as the 1st Runner up and Colombia the winner, unfortunately it was a mistake made by the host Steve Harvey. He might have misread what was in the result paper. In any case, I am still ecstatic over the announcement of Pia as the winner.

They brought back the old format of Top 3 final Q&A with just a simple question.
MU 2015 - Philippines
1st RU - Colombia
2nd RU - USA

And I would rather say that I love these years top5 Q&A as it is more politically and socially inclined than the usual pageantry questions. France and Australia were part of Top5.

Brazil, Indonesia, Belgium, South Africa, and Mexico made it to Top15. While Japan, Thailand, Curacao, Venezuela, and Dominican Republic reach top 10.
