Subject: MY EARLY FAVORITES FOR MISS UNION PANGKALAWAKAN
Author: cheetahrivera [Edit]	Date Posted: 10:23:51 07/29/09 Wed Australia- i love the charm, her beauty is very much like a supermodel, pang Victoria's Secret ang beauty ng lola USA- I have no choice but to put her on 15, you all know naman how USA dominates the MU Vietnam- strong asian representative, nakachamba ang Vietnam to represent her, compared to Lea salonga look a like last year Japan- Ines certainly knows the formula.So far, my favorite japan delegate next to Kurara. Malandi tong babaeng ito at palaban Puerto Rico- halimaw sa catwalk, the crown would fit her perfectly if ever sya ang magiging miss union pangkalawakan Venezuela- Jusmiyo, ayaw paawat ng Venezuela!Naloloka na ako, magpadala daw ba ng mukhang Barbie Belgium- Natural and fresh, it wouldn't hurt if someone like her would win instead of pageant patties like Venezuela, Perto R, Mexico etc.. Honduras-I love fez, bella fresca!she's also tall, and has a gorgeous body Ireland- Supermodel look alike si Coco Rocha, and wala din kahit anong baby fats si ate India- Though wala masyadong hype si Miss paprika este si Miss Indya, I still anticipate na maganda ang ipapakita nya with the preliminaries and mukhang matalino ang ate mo, alam mo yan Felifins-Kakaloka ang transformation ng ating ate na si Bianca ha, i used to tell my friends after Binibini na were hopeless sending her at MU, kinain ko lahat yun today. Bravo!Break the spell ateh! Dominican Rep- Not that beautiful, another typical pageant patty that would do great on catwalk, and would wear vavavavoom gowns.Bulagan ika nga Russia- My top contender South Africa- for something dark hehehe si Miss Africa na yun Costa Rica- ka fez ni Miss Columbia last year, love the smile! Eto na ito wala nang palitan, Miss Philippines I wish you all the best wear the sash with pride and do your best on preliminaries!Kaya mo yan itulak mo si Japan sa banana boat if ever man sasakay kayo ng sabay, para more eksena lang hehehehe

Replies:
I have a different view on the candidates of the Mutya pageant. Though the ladies are definitley lovely, I still feel that there were more prettier ladies from the last binibini pageant. The Mutya pageant that had a lot of lovelies ( only in my opinion ) was the batch of Carmie Nicholosi. It's still too early to say. We only have far-away photos of the ladies. I'm looking foward to the close up shots and the best part - the evening gown competition. (NT) -- JBC, 18:37:48 07/29/09 Wed For me, it's just less exciting considering that the winner(s) are not sent to major International Beauty pageants like Miss Universe, World and International where the real competition really exists. (NT) -- P.E., 18:52:27 07/29/09 Wed IF THEY ARE REALLY GOOD THEN THEY SHOULD JOIN BINIBINI...NO ONE CAN STOP THEM FROM JOINING....MEANING, THEY ARE NOT READY OR LETS JUST SAY THEY ARE NOT COMPETITIVE ENOUGH TO JOIN A PAGEANT THAT IS AS SERIOUS AS BINIBINI...LETS FACE IT, NO MATTER WHAT, BINIBINI WILL REMAIN THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS PAGEANT IN OUR COUNTRY( THOUGH I DONT LIKE THE ONE WHOS RUNNING IT).....ITS JUST A MATTER OF GUTS......AND AS THE SAYING GOES, (NT) -- ARMIKUSELLA, 22:48:01 07/29/09 Wed At this day and age, it's no longer the question of how good or competitive the girl is..Why? Even the Best cannot win Binibini these days..Proof of this was the exclusion of Karla Henry, Carisheila, and Sandra Seifert..They're classic examples of competitive, popular and Fierce Ladies..and they've got Guts too! They've been revered and had been considered as Pageant enthusiasts' choice! And we can consider them as Total Package. What went wrong? (NT) -- P.E., 23:12:14 07/29/09 Wed " NO GUTS NO GLORY ".................... (NT) -- ARMIKUSELLA, 22:55:50 07/29/09 Wed K Kung talagang maganda ka at may ibubuga, join lang nang join, Mutya Ng Pilipinas, Binibining Pilipinas, o Miss Philippines na patimpalak man. As of the moment, Binibining Pilipinas pa rin ang pinaka fabulosang kompetisyon sa Pilipinas sa larangan nang kagandahan dahilan sa ang mga nananalo ay ipinapadala sa ibang bansa kung saan ang isang kandidata ay may tiyansang habulin ang mga malalaking titulo: Miss Universe, Miss World at Miss International. Kung maganda ka at malaki ang bilib sa sarili na kayang tamuin ang tropeo ng isang Binbining Pilipinas...sige lang. Hindi ko nga lang talaga gusto ang namamalakad sa likod ng patimpalak na ito. Hanggang kailan pa ba ang kontrata ng BPCI franchise? Hindi pa ba pwede itong bilihin kung saan ang mga tunay na Pilipino ang namamahala? "Hindi na natin kailangan ipadala ang ating mga kandidata sa COLOMBIA para mag-train," sabi nga ni Precious Lara Quigaman. Wala lang...

Her evening gown presentation was one of the best I've seen from a Binibini! She glided down the stairs with elegance & grace !

The late Chat made a big wave in pageant history with this beautifully-crafted serpentina gown by Renee Salud..Kailan kaya 'to mangyayari considering we cannot rely gowns from Colombia these days..?

(NT) -- Miss Vivienne VeleZ, 15:12:59 07/28/09 Tue One major reason why she did very well it's because she handled by a Filipino named Renee Salud. And this gown was made by him.. It's not made by a Colombian. As we all know, Filipinos are very Nationalistic and we're not known to sabotage our own delegates considering that winning beauty contests entails national pride and honor.

WOW!! It's a wonderful celebration of HAPPINESS, LOVE, FUN, CAMARADERIE, FRIENDSHIP, and truly an UNFORGETTABLE wedding ceremony. Filipinos love singing while these Americans love dancing! The vibrations are quite positive and you can't buy the priceless smiles on people's faces in any drugstores or supermarket. What a wonderful way to start the bride and groom's life together with HAPPINESS as the foundation. It's AWESOME! Paniguradong gagayahin ito ng marami. Great choice of song too! This wedding will echo forever sa isipan ng mga taong dumalo sa kanilang kasal. Don't get me wrong LITO, I love P.E. too. The discussions we had is something like a family, minsan hindi nagkakatugma sa mga pananaw, paniniwala o prinsipyo. Kisses to P.E. :-) (NT) -- mZ. Vivienne VeleZ, 15:05:55 07/26/09 Sun No problem..I really love discussion and exchange of ideas..It's a very healthy discussion...Man is a rational being and that what sets him/her apart from any lower form of animals. Each of us is endowed with gift of reason..Therefore, we need to exercise it through a non-political medium like this Black board..So can we expect more lively dicussions to come? (he..he..he!) (NT) -- P.E., 18:30:35 07/26/09 Sun Greetings to everyone ! It's definitely heating up at marami nang natataranta sa MUt (he-he-he). With all due respect to Cumpadre, Mz. Viv and Pareng P.E., I find this sacrilegious, blasphemous and irreverent. No matter what denomination you belong, a house of worship is a house of worship. It's not so appropriate. And of all music, yung kay Chris Brown pa yung pinili (he-he-he). There are other lively, deeply religious music other than this pop music. Sa Araneta Coliseum na lang iyan (he-he-he). Sorry, guys, but I really don't see the humor in this one. Or maybe it's just me (he-he-he). (NT) -- Love, alexei, 19:55:43 07/26/09 Sun It's not suppose to be humorous! It's suppose to be FUN! These are Christian denominations not CATHOLICS. For some it may be offensive kasi mga super CONSERVATIVE, but its a celebration of LIFE, HAPPINESS, and FRIENDSHIPS. I dont find anything sacrilege about it. Lighten up! Or better yet, experience what it is like before you judge them. They seem very HAPPY, AND THAT'S WHAT ALL MATTERS! Mas gugustuhin ko pang umattend ng ganitong kasal kaysa sa mga kasal na puro pamimintas, chismisan at ka plastikan ang inaatupag ng mga tao! (NT) -- Miss Vivienne VeleZ, 02:11:29 07/27/09 Mon Didn't the Lord say "Make a joyful noise unto me"? Hmmm? THIS is one great big joyful noise! What makes a marriage sacred is not the trappings of the wedding ceremony, but the dedication of two hearts.Those who think the ceremony IS the marriage, whether solemn or not, are the deluded ones. The marriage is in the spirit--and this couple certainly has that! If God is Love, then God is surely smiling on the couple who celebrates love with such zest and exuberance!! (NT) -- Miss Vivienne VeleZ, 04:16:46 07/27/09 Mon Believe me, Mz. Viv. They wanted to inject humor here. But, hey, they got it from you guys (he-he-he). My apology if my posting was misconstrued. Not my intention to judge them. It's just that, I've never seen a scene like this before. Definitely, not in my backyard (he-he-he). This kind of exultation reminds of the scene in the Ten Commandments movie when Moses descended from the mountain and saw his people having too much fun. Ayan, nagalit at nambato ang Moses (he-he-he). I really have no problem with having fun. Kapag sumosobra ako kasi, KABAG ang abot ko (he-he-he-you know that's not a good one,right, Mz.

This is what I've been saying.. pwede tayong maging Moderno pero ilagay sa tamang konteksto..FREEDOM is not & Never will be Absolute !!! There will always be some limitations to it..Saan 'to nangyari? Sa USA? No wonder..Gawin mo 'to sa Kabul, Afghanistan or Pakistan..and you will be bombed o di ka lalabas ng buhay.

Quite entertaining for the guests where it shows how happy and in love the bride and groom! You have to make memories because they dont always happen. This wedding will be talked about forever. Nothing wrong with having FUN. I still thought that the wedding ENTRANCE was great! Marriage is sacred and shouldn't be entered into lightly or irreverently, but if you can start your married life dancing with each other it is wonderful in God's eyes - that's why HE gave us free will so we can live our lives in our greatest joy! God bless them and I hope they dance with great abandon through all of life's joys, trials and triumphs!

Subject: Emiri Miyasaka's National Costume is a Disrespect to the Japanese
Author: P.E. [Edit]	Date Posted: 22:58:47 07/26/09 Sun As expected many Japanese are disappointed with the national costume of Emiri Miyasaka, Miss Japan Universe 2009. Many think that the costume is a disrespect to the conservative Japanese style of clothing - the kimono. We visited some forums and blogs and tried to read the comments. All are echoing that it is very slutty. Pageant experts are saying that the costume is good only in magazines but not in runways. But there some also who admitted they love the costume. One of them is Miss Singapore Universe 2009 Rachel Kum who took notice of this issue by reading it in our blog. Though Rachel did not mention our blog in her website, she copied what we have written here. Rachel said, "Japan is a huge fashion industry and I personally think it is great that their concept of a new age national costume is something different for a change! Emiri is beautiful and she can carry this look very well. I look forward to meeting her next week!" Let's listen also to this Japanese woman who left a comment in our blog entry here. "This crazy piece of fabric makes me suffocate. As a Japanese woman, it's just unbearable to expect that so many eyes all over the globe will see this expression of Ines Ligron's humongous ego and insanity under the name of "national costume of Japan"." Now that it is generating a lot of publicity, do you think this will further boost the chance of Miss Japan to get the third crown for her country? Source: http://beautyinpageants.blogspot.com/ .

Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun. 1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10) 2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold) 3. Add 5 4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 .. If you haven't, add 1758. 6.. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week). The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!) THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS. Chocolate Calculator.

Subject: Ines Ligron defends the Costume! Calling Critics as Fashion Dinosaurs !
Author: P.E. [Edit]	Date Posted: 20:23:22 07/23/09 Thu FROM INES LIGRON BLOG It has surely created a huge PR buzz around the world which was the concept, also it worked as planned. The conservative and fashion-dinosaurs are critisizing her costume, meanwhile the fashionistas love it. I care only about the movers and shakers in the fashion industry. My vibe is of Junya Watanabe, Yoji Yamamto, Issey Miyake, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Cavalli and Dolce & Gabanna likes. They have created a new area in fashion and they mind works like mine. I love fierce versus safe, this is who I am and will always be. I want to bring the image of beauty queens to a level wich matches mine and not stuggle to remain safe and politically correct. I believe that traditional beauty queens are irrelevant in today world, and this is what most of people think and the real reason why TV ratings around the world are dropping and pageant houses have to close down their operations, instead they should reinvent themselves. In Japan, our medias exposure has exploded since the past 5 years because we deliver a work that fits today entertainment expectation. I wanted to share with you all my feelings, my views and my vision. This is what I just sent to the Miss Universe Organization. All directors have been asked to send a picture for the program and the website this year.Leslie Kee (lesliekeesuperstar.com) took these pictures and it took 7 designers to execute the costume. It was directed by Yoshiyuki Ogata, the designer of the red samurai costume which won best national costume with Kurara in 2006. 150 media outlets attended today press conference in Tokyo today. I am now in the South of France with my sons also i wasn�t there. Emiri is now packing with her team and will fly tomorrow afternoon to Miami where she has a few TV and magazines interviews. She will also prepare slowly her skin for the heat and dramatic sun of the Bahamas and will not burn. She will stay in Miami for a week and will fly by private helicopter to Nassau with her entourage. She will have a dinner at the Japanese Embassy with the Consul while in Miami. Special thanks to American Airlines for flying Emiri in first class to Miss Universe! Love always and to all, Ines .

I guess Ines relied too much on fashion and gimmickry para mapag-usapan ang kandidata niya to the point of ruining the very essence of the traditional kimono dress.She really went overboard considering Japan characterizes a traditionalist type of culture.What she did was an insult to the Japanese culture by allowing Emiri to wear this horrendous, cheap, trashy, slutty and fugly national costume! -- P.E. , 23:33:21 07/23/09 Thu (NT) -- Remember her in Miss Universe 2005 ?

(NT) -- P.E. , 10:11:13 07/24/09 Fri The National ( if you will call it ) costume is offensive to the Japanese women in particular and Japanese culture in particular.. As a Foreigner, Ines should have exercised caution in handling things especially of things with deep cultural & historical signifance. Japanese are known to be NATIONALISTIC. I know this because we've got a Japanese friend before (she passed away last year) at talagang conservative talaga when it comes to this , very rigid and would want to preserve their traditions & customs.Si Ines ay talagang na-murder niya ang pambansang kasuotan ng mga Hapones. She really went overboard. She altered or re-invent something precious to the Japanese people but in a cheap & slutty manner..Offensive because she's insulting their culture. She's got no class! What she did was contemptous..She's an outsider..she has no right to do that. She lacks respect. (NT) -- P.E., 19:55:26 07/24/09 Fri I dont think it's her intention to disrespect or insult the Japanese culture. Siguro naman, bago nagawa ang national costume ni Emiri, may mga Japanese advisers sya kung appropriate o hindi ang isusuot ni Emiri. Ines is doing all her best as the pageant director of Miss Japan para kapansin pansin ang kanilang delegada. Ngunit kung iyan ang iyong opinion P.E., I respect you for it. Ngunit para sa akin, nasa bago tayong century, tinetema lang nya siguro ang mga ito. Sabi nga ng iba, kung ang iyong pag-iisip ay hindi bukas sa isang bagay, ay talagang hindi ito mauunawaan. Parang PARACHUTE, if its not open, will it ever work? Minsan ang tao, kapag hindi naiintindihan ang isang bagay, ito'y kinatatakutan kaysa sa ibukas ang ating pag-iisip at unawain ang mga pangyayari. Na-hire si Ines ng Japanese Pageant para maging ulo ng kanilang lokal na patimpalak, kaya bahala na silang mag rambulan kung hindi man sila sumangayon sa desisyon ng kanilang pageant director.

In a lot of ways, nakikiuso naman sila but there are things that are non-negotiable them..Ganon lang 'yun. As a pageant director, medyo maging sensitive lang siya and cautious not to offend the sensibilities especially sa aspetong pang-kultura..As a foreigner or alien in that country siya ang mag-adjust at hinde 'yung mga nationals ang mag-adjust o susunod sa kanya..or dadalhin niya 'yung kultura niya sa bansa nila..

I would rather see some changes than see the MONOTONY of SAME, BORING STUFF. Halos TAON-TAON nakakapasok ang delegada nila sa finals. Ngayon, kung hindi nila gusto si Ines from this point on, fire her kung hindi maging successful si Miss JAPAN sa BAHAMAS. She's just doing her job for her delegate to get noticed. Binabayaran sya sa kanyang ginagawa. At least meron silang RIYO MORI ngayon pagkatapos ni AKIKO KOJIMA na noong dekada 60 pa nanalo.

Because of the idea of being Fierce and reinvention eto ang napala niya. It would be ok for Ines since she's from France..how about Emiri? She has to suffer from these big mess concocted by her director to generate publicity. (NT) -- P.E. , 21:00:30 07/24/09 Fri Ano pa bang masasabi nila kay Ines Ligron? Halos taon-taon pasok sila sa finals! Nakapag create ng winner kay Riyo Mori pagkatapos ng mahabang panahon! Magagawa ba ni Stella Marquez o Pitoy Moreno ang mga nagawa ni Ligron? Halos TATLUMPU'T ANIM na taon na tayong walang panalo sa Miss Universe at kailan ang huli nating finalista, nuong 1999? Kung hindi pa ako at ang iba ay pauli-ulit na bumoto para kay Miss Philippines sa internet, sa palagay ba natin, mananalo sya ng Miss Photogenic? Papaano kung karamihan sa mga Pinoy ay walang internet connection, edi mukha tayong si kawawa? Kaya para sa akin, maswerte pa rin ang Japan at si Ines Ligron ang nasa tabi nila. Dahil lang sa pink panty na nakalabas, manggagalaiti ang karamihan? It's lame! They should all look back to what the woman has done for their country. Anong nagawa ng BPCI? Barraza gowns na recycled, training sa Colombia, naka muffler at boots in the heat of summer!? Puhlease!! (NT) -- mZ. Vivienne VeleZ, 21:41:58 07/24/09 Fri Majority of the Japanese really don't care about pageants. Ibang-iba sila sa ating mga Pilipino. And they regard traditions and culture as having greater value. (NT) -- P.E. , 06:22:41 07/25/09 Sat Sundin ang tradition o Manalo ka sa Miss Universe no matter what it takes? For me, it's the 21st century and Ines Ligron is on the right track. Pag nagkataong manalo si Miss Japan sa BAHAMAS, sa palagay mo ba ay babatikusin ulit si Ines Ligron on her decision regarding the provocative National Costume? Bago pa lang manalo si Emiri noon, merong syang kuhang "naninigarilyo" kung saan hindi ako sang ayon dahilan sa akoy nagtratrabaho sa health care field. Ibinukas ko ang isip ko. "WOW, ang tapang ni EMIRI, maraming hindi gustong i-promote ang paninigarilyo, pero sya ay isang palaban, mananalo ito", sabi ko. Sino nga ang nagwagi, di ba si Emiri? She took a chance and that's what I LOVE about this woman. That's the CONFIDENCE that some delegates are really lacking. Masyado lang siguro ako o si Ines Ligron man ay LIBERATED. Personally, I love those pink panties, garters with thigh high stockings! Wanna borrow mine P. E. hehe.. (NT) -- mZ. Vivienne VeleZ, 20:31:28 07/25/09 Sat Sige na nga..but your point of view is a point of view of an outsider or a Pinoy..But if you're Japanese..for sure mag-iiba din ang opinyon mo, right? There's no question about Ines' contribution and Emiri's self-confidence..I like and appreciate them..About those pink panties, garters with thigh high stockings--No I'm not using and have no intention of using them..I prefer my manly demeanor..(he..he..he) (NT) -- P.E., 03:42:26 07/26/09 Sun Im proud to be a Filipino. Maybe you're right, if I were a Japanese citizen and know the cultures and traditions by heart, sure, baka hindi rin ako sumangayon sa pink panties, garters and thigh high stockings for a national costume. However, kung ako man ay naging Japanese citizen, I will try to open my PARACHUTE and allow my mind to be free. Tatanungin ko ang sarili ko kung ano ang mga nagawa ng French Director na ito sa aking bansa. Nailuklok ba nya ang PRIDE ng mga Hapon? Nakapag-create ba siya ng winner? Kung walang nagawa ang French, walang ibang sisisihin kundi ang mga kapwa Hapones na nag "hire" kay Ines Ligron, thats the risk they have to take. Alam nilang French ung tao kung saan ay maraming LIBERATED na pag-iisip at isa na ako doon kahit pa PILIPINO ang aking lahi. Times are changing. Just like the bamboo, we must be flexible. I love, AKIKO KOJIMA, she resembles the looks of my ninang sa kasal...hehehe (NT) -- mZ. Vivienne VeleZ, 13:43:03 07/26/09 Sun I do believe they're Open sa maraming bagay..May napanood pa nga akong Japanese porn sa net na nagsuot ng kagaya nitong stockings ni Emiri although black ang color..What I wanted to point out is hayaan na nating manatili in the bedroom ang mga undergarments na mga 'to..pwede ring irampa pero di na samahan pa ng kimono because that's very offensive already. May nagawa si Ines na mabuti si Ines sa Japan pero aminin nating may nalabag din siya dito.That's the reason why lots of Japanese were furious about this costume. Di natin sila masisisi.. (NT) -- P.E. , 20:41:39 07/26/09 Sun Thanks Viviene for mentioning my name 'Akiko" as Japan's First MSU, hahahaha (NT) -- akiko, 06:20:27 07/26/09 Sun

(NT) -- P.E., 03:30:51 07/26/09 Sun talaga namang of all na pwedene reasons broken cheekbones hahaha. nalaglaga ako sa chair ko. lol. pasaway ka akiko. hahahaha (NT) -- lito_mora, 05:39:05 07/26/09 Sun Kaya nga eh.

Pinag iinitan talaga nila ang cheekbones ni Bianca? (NT) -- akiko, 06:15:40 07/26/09 Sun Sobra namang paninira ang ginawa kay Miss Philippines. Of all the bones in the body, yung cheek bones pa! Naiingit lang sila kay Bianca because she's got great bone structures. (NT) -- Viv VeleZ, 15:18:48 07/26/09 Sun

I've been vocal since Binibining Pilipinas that BPCI made a wrong choice in choosing her, sana mali ako.... Good luck na lang. And you will be included in my prayers.. (NT) -- mZ. Vivienne VeleZ, 23:42:58 07/23/09 Thu Seems Bianca is kind of tired on that interview. Though very short, all she said was pray...pray...and pray. Remember Bianca that although prayers help, you still need to do your homework and give your best shot in the competition. There have been so many beautul and sexy ladies in the universe so you really need to double time and be fierced. Hindi pede yang ganyang lalamya-lamya. Prove me wrong, Bianca. I have high hopes on you.

NANCOO-RUSSELL All eyes will be on Grand Bahama island next month as the highly-anticipated swimsuit segment of the 2009 Miss Universe Pageant will take place at the Our Lucaya Resort on August 9. Gearing up to host the major pageant, officials held a press conference yesterday at the event's site, the lawn of Our Lucaya, where they revealed some of the plans surrounding the contestants' arrival.

Newbold said he beleived the pageant will provide some excellent international media exposure to showcase Grand Bahama's unique features as a city. "We beleive this is also an opportunity for Grand Bahama to make a great impact as an events destination for similar events and that Freeport can actually become a city where we're hosting events simlar to this in the future," he said. Bethel advised residents wishing to be a part of the audience at the event that they can purchase tickets for $50 at Gizmos and Gadgets, located in the Compusec Building downtown, the Manor House at the Our Lucaya Resort and the lobby of the Reef Village at Our Lucaya, formerly known as the Sheraton.

Heavenly ! It resembles the Philippines in more ways than one! We've got lots of beaches that is ideal for certified beach and sun-worshippers..One of them is Boracay which continues to entice tourists from all over the world. It's known for it's fine white sand beaches and the crystal clear cool waters, not to mention the possibilities for pleasure and adventure of the enchanting paradise which for the ordinary are seemingly endless.

The "Beyonders" are the permanent members of the Miss Philippines Beyond 2008 team. They are true pageant lovers, honest to the bone, and passionate in what they do. They may all disagree, but at the end of the day, they just laugh about it!
