    Ms. Earth 2009 boosts Boracay’s tourism status
    By BOY RYAN B. ZABAL
    November 21, 2009, 6:36pm

    BORACAY — This island paradise, noted for its white sand beaches and clear azure seas, further boosts its fame as the country’s premier beach destination with the staging of the prestigious Miss Earth 2009 beauty pageant.

    Beamed across the world by ABS-CBN Channel 2 (TFC) and The Filipino Channel, beauties from 80 countries will vie for the titles Miss Earth, Miss Earth-Air, Miss Earth-Water and Miss Earth-Fire on November 22 at the Boracay Ecovillage Resort and Convention Center in Barangay Yapak.

    Off the northern tip of Aklan province, the island of Boracay offers unparalleled fine white sand beaches for the Miss Earth delegates but also to millions of tourists from all over the world.

    In the preliminaries, Evelyne Almasi from Tanzania bagged the Best in National Costume during the Miss Earth 2009 National Costume Competition at the Amazing Philippines Theater in Pasig City on November 4.

    Miss Puerto Rico Dignelis Jimenez was Miss Psamlstre New Placenta while Miss Guam Maria Luisa Santos received the Pasigandahan Award.

    On two separate occasions earlier this month, Miss Earth Philippines Sandra Seifert won both the Best in Swimsuit at the Fontana Leisure Park and Casino in Pampanga and the Best in Evening Gown at the PAGCOR Grand Theater in Parañaque.

    Organizer Carousel Productions, Inc. Executive Vice President Lorraine Schuck said the Miss Earth delegates this year have been spreading the message to live an eco-friendly lifestyle by seriously implementing the 4Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Respect.

    The 2009 Miss Earth Beauty Pageant on Boracay Island is being supported by the Miss Earth Foundation, Discovery Suites, Fairways and Bluewater, Fontana Leisure Parks, Boracay Ecovillage Resort and Convention Center, Alta Vista de Boracay, Mito’s Place Boracay, Patio Pacific Boracay, PAGCOR, Nestle Nesvita and Karilagan International Travel & Tours Corp, Ricky Reyes and COCOLIFE.

    AT THE HOMESTRETCH (GROUP 1)
    by Joseph Vitug

    Hate to admit that attrition has occurred again in this year’s Miss Earth pageant, as the number of delegates declined from 85 last year to 80. Despite earlier confirmations, perennial participants Bolivia and Bosnia & Herzegovina failed to show up along with Croatia, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Malawi, and Romania. Botswana was disqualified for being too short at 1.51m. Nicaragua had to back out because its candidate encountered visa issues. Vietnam’s representative encountered an injury before competition was about to begin. Other perennials like Finland and Germany didn’t even bother to field a representative. However, as the weeks progressed it turns out that the quality of this year’s delegates prove to be of a highly competitive caliber—there are a whole slew of worthy contenders vying for the 18 slots in the finals, so a satisfying mix of finalists is going to be extremely likely this year, even as some might lament on a few possible shut-outs. I am optimistic that the attrition will likely be stemmed next year.
    This time I will organize my homestretch review instead of a straightforward alphabetical manner into alphabetically according to their groupings during the various pre-pageant activities. So without further ado, let us begin with…
    GROUP ONE

    This group was loaded with major powerhouse contenders. Though the five chosen for the shortlist in the Best in Swimsuit and Best in Evening Gown competitions were worthy choices, I felt there were several others who deserved to be shortlisted also—too bad they had to limit to five in each competition, and three of those slots were filled by the same favorites. Three of the Cocoa Babes and two of the Crème Confections were among those that were overshadowed by the favorites. Anyway, without further ado, here are the ladies in Group 1:

    ALBANIA – Suada Saliu. Her gawky pre-arrival photos and then that fright of wildly shocking curls early in her stay may have made fans, wags, and pundits shudder at her being, but as the days wore on, those curls were tamed and she started looking more attractive—more akin to, say, “Friends” star Lisa Kudrow. She turned out to be surprisingly a worthwhile delegate.

    AUSTRALIA – Melinda Heffernan. Normally, if you are searching for the best delegate from Oceania, typically fingers would be pointing toward this country. Well, in the real world she would qualify as attractive, but in a stratified milieu like this pageant, she was easily overshadowed by the embarrassment of riches out there.

    BAHAMAS – Krystal Brown. She may not be one of the Cocoa Babes, but she was among those who placed the Caribbean region at a stratified level in this year’s pageant. She was a complete package of intelligence, fitness, and attractiveness.


    CHINA – Yan Xu. There might be a few who might find her cute, but to my eyes, she was probably one of the weakest fielded by this rising pageant powerhouse in any Grand Slam pageant. Her winning a sponsor’s prize (because of the heritage of the owners of the resort) should be consolation enough.

    COLOMBIA – Alejandra Castillo. Prior to her arrival, pageant pundits barely paid attention to her as some felt that maybe her studio photos were heavily photoshopped as she may not be as impressive as portrayed. But when she finally arrived, it turned out she was a driven, polished, and competitive contender who clearly knew how to make the right impression and was a complete package at a stratified level. She is on line to sustain her country’s finalist showing in this pageant.

    CUBA – Jamilette Gaxiola. Her pre-arrival photos may seem that she’s a classic beauty. But in person, her features were actually a tad more exotic, but she was still undeniably drop-dead gorgeous and beautiful—I saw minor traces of Miss Earth 2003 Dania Prince in her features. Another key standout quality she possessed were her ample bosom, which she often showcased with great aplomb in swimsuit and national costume—she is my BB Sweepstakes winner for this year’s pageant. Her voluptuousness eventually won me over, and her features grew on me that I do foresee she could conceivably land in the Top 8.

    CZECH REPUBLIC – Tereza Budkova. Because this group was laden with top-tier contenders and the Filipinos were fixated with the Latinas, this drop-dead-gorgeous lass had some difficulty generating much needed buzz within this country—she was not short-listed in the swimsuit and gown rounds. But her beauty couldn’t be denied, and she does have some passionate support that resulted in her earning the much-deserved Miss Photogenic award. If justice would prevail, she should also sustain the four-years-and-counting semifinals streak this country enjoyed in this pageant.

    DENMARK – Patricia Tjørnelund. Her appearance vis-à-vis her name made me recall about some preconceived notions one might have when one hears a very Scandinavian name. For instance, I could recall regarding famous Swedish chef Marcus Samuelsson, chef and co-owner of the New York restaurant Aquavit—one might think he would be tall, Caucasian and blonde, not short, black, and African (he’s Ethiopian adopted by Swedish parents). The same notion may apply to this lady, as instead of blonde and Caucasian, she turned out to be dusky and biracial. She has a gorgeous face, and photos may seem to show she has a trim torso. Unfortunately, she has one glaring flaw—her legs were wide and stumpily short in proportion to her upper body.

    DOMINICAN REPUBLIC – Mariel Garcia. Here is the first member of the Cocoa Babes. Some pundits and fans may have thought that she sometimes projected like a drag queen, but I thought her features still remained undeniably feminine and pretty, and her lean and trim supermodel’s figure deserved to be reckoned with. I had compared her to Miss Universe 2002 contestant Ruth Ocumarez, and I meant it as a compliment, though it may have also raised concerns that even if she was more gorgeous than 2007 semifinalist Themys Febriel, she might end up missing the final cut similar to the highly regarded Ruth. Still keeping my fingers crossed, though.

    GABON – Marlyne Lea Ayenne. She is an attractive contender from Africa, but this year the Africans were clearly overshadowed by the Caribbean Cocoa Babes. Her memorably moment was her African booty shaking dance during her costume presentation.

    GEORGIA – Nona Diakonidze. Though there were some pageant pundits who initially found her features a bit too vampish (Cruella de Vil was the usual term employed), I always thought she was gorgeous from the get-go. Besides, those very features tend to be highly favored during pre-judging—this was how Bosnia & Herzegovina made the cut in 2004 and 2006—I had been describing the look as “Bosnian Vamp” for the past few years now. Because of those features alone, it is highly conceivable that she’ll earn herself a slot in the Top 18.

    GUADELOUPE – Mary-Ange Seymour. She’s trim and attractive and also another one who made the Caribbean region the region to reckon with in this year’s pageant.

    HONG KONG – Wang Shan Shan. Well, this lady was better-looking than Miss China, though she seemed to be in the same boat as Miss China in terms of level of sponsor support and preparedness—but they did seem to be sporting more-than-decent gowns during the Evening Gown Finals event at Casino Filipino.

    HUNGARY- Korinna Kocsis. I could see how she was able to edge out the two Crème Confections and the three Cocoa Babes in her group to be shortlisted in the Swimsuit Competition—she exuded a laid-back beach beauty vibe (sorry, Miss World) with her mass of wavy brunette tresses, trim physique, and tanned complexion. If we based it on looks alone she has the inside track into the Top 18. But I have a major issue with her communication skills—during the Press Presentation and National Costume Competition, she spoke as if there was a muffler in her mouth—I don’t know if Hungarians who attempt to speak English really sounded like that. If her sash said Bosnia & Herzegovina she would’ve probably gotten away with it, though she doesn’t have the “Bosnian Vamp” look the way Miss Georgia has. But let’s give her credit that she’s the best delegate ever fielded by this country to this pageant.

    INDONESIA – Nadine Zamira Syarief. Onstage and whenever she opened her mouth, I thought she was a possible upset choice who could conceivably land in the Top 18. She was a polished presence onstage, with an elegantly dignified bearing that was exhibited during the National Costume Competition. But her main asset was her superb communication skills—her English was not 100% impeccable as I observed a few minor grammatical lapses in her speeches, but it was way stronger than what you would have expected from a typical Indonesian, and she could communicate her commitment to the cause very clearly and effectively. However, in a more casual setting, her looks turned out to be rather ordinary. Could she parlay her stage skills, intelligence, and gab to overcome her disadvantages and make the final cut?

    ISRAEL – Noy Michaelov. Her facial features were not my cup of tea, but I have to concede she was a polished, worthwhile contender who deserved some credit.

    JAMAICA – Jenaae Jackson. She actually has all the qualities to make the final cut, as she was the best delegate fielded by this country so far, but amongst the Cocoa Babes, she was the one who didn’t seem to know how to capitalize on her bountiful assets (not necessarily physical like Miss Cuba) to its fullest as she tended to be not as assertive as she could’ve been.

    JAPAN – Tomomi Takada. It’s coincidental that two ladies who resembled standout non-finalist contenders at the legendary 2002 Miss Universe pageant were pitted in the same group. I had mentioned about Miss Dominican Republic’s resemblance to her countrywoman, Ruth Ocumarez. Now, meet Karen Loren Agustin, but wearing the sash of Japan. Her looks may not be for conventional tastes, but she does strike a fierce presence onstage. For her stage skills, competitive drive, and her lean-and-trim figure, she is arguably the strongest fielded by this country in this pageant.

    LATVIA – Diana Kubasova. I had mentioned in my “Cocoa Babes and Crème Confections” article how I thought she was the blonde who could break the long “Blonde-less Drought” in the finals. She has the gorgeousness and the figure to pull it off. Unfortunately, that mantle seemed to have been taken away from her as Miss France just blossomed during the later stages of the competition; no-showing during the Evening Gown Competition finals also doesn’t seem to be a good sign. I’m still keeping the faith as she was simply that beautiful.

    MARTINIQUE – Pascale Nelide. No special awards nor sponsor prizes that I know of. I’m baffled why she wasn’t getting a lion’s share of attention that she deserved, because she oozed so much charm when she appeared, and her features were simply so stunning in my eyes. Just because she couldn’t speak English that well? Well, that didn’t stop Murielle Celimene from becoming first runner-up five years ago, right? Of all the underrated gems I have cited in my previous article, this lady would be the one I would be rooting fervently for to succeed.

    PAKISTAN – Ayesha Gilani. She was the most polished Pakistani representative ever sent to this pageant—I simply adored her splendidly shimmering national costume. And she’s also great-looking and trim enough to hold her own amidst this formidable field.

    POLAND – Izabella Wilczek. Most pundits underrated this lady prior to her arrival, but things changed when she landed on our shores as she exuded charisma. She also turned out to be a polished complete package with fierce stage chops that she is turning into one of the Europeans-most-likely in such a cutthroat group. Her dramatic gown presentation at Casino Filipino was one that I’ll remember for a long time.

    SOUTH AFRICA – Chanel Grantham. She’s a tad plainer that what we typically expect from a South African representative, but she does have the gab and personality that was the usual trademark of a South African beauty queen.

    SPAIN – Alejandra Echevarria. There were pundits who are not into her features, but examining them up closely, she reminded me of a legendary Filipina beauty queen—Miss World 1973 1st runner-up (and shoulda-been winner especially since the winner was dethroned) Evangeline Pascual. She was likewise a stratified complete package of beauty, brains, figure, stage presence, and even environmental commitment. So it’s not surprising how she was shortlisted in both swimsuit and evening gown. I also observed how she (or her handlers) integrated the environmental message in a subtly symbolic way, with the green color of her national costume and evening gown. She is poised to garner an element in this pageant.

    TONGA – Mary Greatz. First, a welcome debut for this country in this pageant. And considering that the little that I know of this country made me think that they would probably send someone overweight or out-of-shape, here came this trim and attractive lady whose unique feature was that one of her teeth was capped in gold. She’s a surprisingly worthwhile contender who clearly was no cellar-dweller.

    UKRAINE – Karina Golovata. Her facial features may be a tad subtle, but they were undeniably pretty. It was like a refreshing, down-to-earth face. I wouldn’t be that surprised if she would bring forth the long-awaited Ukrainian breakthrough in this pageant, though I would wonder on whose expense amongst the Europeans would she garner that slot.

    VENEZUELA – Jessica Barboza. From her Sambil pictures I sensed that she would be someone to reckon with, and despite the objection of some pundits, I firmly believed she delivered on the expectations in spades. She physically resembled Miss World 2002 finalist and Miss International 2003 winner Goizeder Azua, and despite the lack of an Osmel Souza training background, she managed to be as polished as we expected from representatives from her country.

    Now, let me trot out my leaderboard and show you how I thought the Group 1 delegates stood.

    TOP CONTENDERS: SPAIN, VENEZUELA

    LIKELIEST: COLOMBIA, CUBA, CZECH REPUBLIC, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, GEORGIA, HUNGARY, JAMAICA, LATVIA, MARTINIQUE, POLAND, UKRAINE

    EXCELLENT: BAHAMAS, PAKISTAN

    INTELLIGENCE FACTOR: INDONESIA

    VERY STRONG: GABON, GUADELOUPE, JAPAN

    STRONG: ALBANIA, AUSTRALIA, DENMARK, ISRAEL, SOUTH AFRICA, TONGA

    VERY GOOD: HONG KONG

    GOOD: CHINA


    AT THE HOMESTRETCH (GROUP 2)
    by Joseph Vitug

    GROUP TWO

    The ladies in Group 2 featured among others one mocha-colored Cocoa Babe, a slew of Asian contenders including one prohibitive front-runner for the crown, a sleeper Mediterranean favorite, the entire Benelux contingent, a super-statuesque African, and two fierce lovelies from North America. The three ladies who arrived too late to make it to the November 4 Press Presentation (and National Costume Competition) likewise were placed in this group. So, let us examine them all, shall we?

    ARGENTINA – Gisela Menossi. She was a surprisingly stronger-than-expected contender from this country, as her modeling experience helped her make the right impression onstage, and she’s attractive and trim enough to deservingly keep up with the best. Still a far cry from Miss Earth-Fire 2001 Daniela Stucan eight years ago, though.

    BELGIUM – Isabel Van Hoof. Well, she’s attractive, though a bit raw. Considering she kept on sporting wardrobe with low necklines and no cleavage to show for it, I think I should award her the “Flapper Award” (this is like the opposite of the “BB Sweepstakes Award”).

    CANADA – Lateesha Ector. She’s the first dark-complexioned representative from her country to this pageant. In my opinion, she is arguably even better than Miss Earth 2007 Jessica Trisko, as she’s great looking, she’s buffed (she’s shortlisted in the Swimsuit Competition from her group, remember), she’s polished, and yes, she’s an excellent communicator. Efforts on her part to speak our native language even as there was nothing Filipino flowing in her veins would only help her earn extra brownie points.

    COSTA RICA – Malena Orozco. Besides being one of the late arrivals, one prominent feature about this attractive fair-complexioned lady was her statuesque 6’0” height. Too bad, she couldn’t seem to capitalize on her strengths to the max as she could have.

    ECUADOR – Diana Delgado. She was also another late arrival. She was an attractive dusky Latina who sported a red gown with a humongous train during the Group 2 Evening Gown Competition at Greenbelt 5 in Makati. But she does pale in comparison with the bevy of Latina stunners out there.

    ENGLAND – Kirsty Nichol. It was a good thing when she arrived that she grew out her bangs and combed it out, as she was more attractive than expected. Still, I found her other colleagues from the British Isles stronger in the face department. Anyway, let’s just hand it to her for being a worthwhile contender.

    GHANA – Mariam Abdul Rauf. Her figure was not as trim and toned as the majority of the contenders out there, though maybe we should attribute it to African tastes that we may not readily appreciate. Still, she’s attractive and worthwhile.

    INDIA – Shriya Kishore. As long as she’s allowed to strut onstage, she would exude a charismatically glamorous presence. Of course she also has the superb communication skills we expect from representatives of her country, and her figure was trim enough to keep up with the best of them. I did find her very attractive, but admittedly there were prettier faces out there—Miss Pakistan was prettier. She is still on track of making the final cut but with the quality of this year’s batch, nothing is for certain though we do need to salute her for being a top-notch contender.

    ITALY – Luna Isabella Voce. She may not be as slickly polished as other ladies, and her evening gown catwalk was just a tad too simple amidst the luminous standouts out there, but she turned out on the road to becoming one of the possible usurpers to Sandra Seifert’s assumed path to victory. She has a passing resemblance to the official Miss Universe 2002 from Panama, Justine Pasek, crossed with movie star Eva Mendes, and her communication skills were way stronger than most representatives sent by her country to this pageant—and she was savvy enough to convey relevant points in her speeches, as she referred to the calamities of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng (internationally known as Ketsana and Parma respectively) in her environmental messages. An Italian breakthrough seems to be almost assured this time.

    KENYA – Catherine Muturi. What I remembered most about her was her white costume with feathered headdress as it was memorably un-Kenyan-looking and more Native American—in fact I thought it resembled a Walmart/Target/K-Mart version of Cher’s famous “Half-Breed” costume. She was an attractive contender, but I don’t really foresee her making serious inroads into the finals.

    KOREA – Yeju Park. I’ve seen prettier Korean contestants, but she possessed several standout edges that she would probably end up being more successful than those Korean beauty queens who were renowned for simply being pretty. First, of course, was her chic bob. Then, there was her savvy and sophisticated catwalk style, and the willingness to be daring unlike your typical conservative Korean girl—just as exhibited in the Evening Gown Competition finals. Finally, she was also a stronger communicator with a stronger command of English than your typical Korean contestant.

    LEBANON – Nicole Lichaa Khoury. Let’s just diplomatically say she made me flashback to five years ago, of a girl representing a country that won a special award this year and had fielded much improved and way more successful delegates since then. Her best strategy was clearly to simply enjoy her stay to the fullest.

    LUXEMBOURG – Theodora Banica. At first glance her pale features in contrast to her dark tresses were viewed as a jarring combination by several pageant fans and pundits. But she turned out to actually be more attractive than expected, though not in serious contention for the finals.

    MALAYSIA – Madeline Nandu. She was definitely the strongest representative ever fielded by this country to this pageant, as she has a nice pretty face, a trim figure, a polished stage presence, and strong communication skills. She was worthily shortlisted into the Swimsuit Competition finals in her group. I have a feeling that she would need to battle out a Top 18 slot with Mz. India and Korea, and it would not be totally surprising if she ended up edging them out.

    NETHERLANDS – Sabrina Anijs. During her speeches during the Press Presentation and National Costume Competition, she expressed passion for the cause as her speeches were like urgent calls to take action. Her exotic Dutch/Asian features were likewise very striking, she possessed a lovely trim figure that she showcased with aplomb in her risqué national costume, and she had solid stage skills. It’s not surprising if she would end up bringing forth a long-awaited Dutch breakthrough, but then again, she has so many other Europeans to contend with.

    NEW ZEALAND – Catherine Irving. She’s simply too plain and raw to be in serious contention for the finals. We have seen much better contenders fielded by this country before.

    PANAMA – Geraldine Higuera. I found her features a tad too angular and exotic, though I do need to give her credit for having a trim figure, polished presence, and solid stage chops—she was grandiosely impressive in her Incan beaded costume during the National Costume Competition.

    PHILIPPINES – Sandra Inez Seifert. Ever since the back-to-back Venezuelan victory at Miss Universe this year, pageant pundits have been buzzing there might be a similar scenario at this year’s pageant, with Karla Henry crowning her own countrywoman as her successor. But unlike the polarizing-to-negative reaction several pundits had towards Stefania Fernandez, they would actually welcome this lady’s victory. She did deliver the goods, and was competing at an expectedly stratified level; so far her performances would indicate that the forecast would be fulfilled, as she ended winning two very important looks-oriented special awards, Best in Swimsuit and Best in Evening Gown. Then, the hubbub over the release of unflattering photos of the crucial pre-judging round (where all delegates were mandated to appear sans makeup) made me recall Stefania’s recent visit to Indonesia, where there was a similar flap about one of her appearances sans makeup (she belatedly taped a video addressing that issue recently). And of course, this year’s pageant would be held in an island resort in Boracay, like the way Miss Universe held it this year at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas.

    Now, I personally wouldn’t mind that scenario, but I have a hunch that victory would not be that assured. I would probably guarantee that Sandra would be assured of an element—it’s just a matter of which one. But to win it all? There were so many awesome ones out there who could conceivably pull off an upset. And there were precedents that just simply because one currently had the edge over the rest, that she could win it all. I could recall 2006 when it was perceived (including myself) that Marianne Puglia got what it took to win it all and make it back-to-back for Venezuela—she ended up as Miss Earth-Fire, instead. Then, a year later, her countrywoman, Silvana Santaella won both the swimsuit and evening gown special awards, but she was Miss Earth-Water, not the overall winner. In other words, it is indeed very conceivable Sandra would deservingly win it all, but prospects of that scenario are not as certain as perceived.

    One final note about the sans-makeup hoopla: remember that she was also subjected to the same process during the local search for Miss Philippines-Earth, and of course she ended up winning it all (and there were some lovely exotic lookers in her batch). So I wouldn’t think the prejudging panel would dock her significant points (if any) for her sans-makeup appearance.

    RUSSIA – Ksenia Podsevatkina. This third latecomer exuded an Eastern European supermodel vibe, like Melania Knauss before she met the Donald and became the 3rd Mrs. Trump. I’m not certain if the prejudging panel would appreciate such features, though her making the final cut is indeed a conceivable possibility.

    SERBIA – Dijana Milojkovic. She was a solid and polished contender but I found her facial features a tad too angular for my tastes—but then again, typical Slavs (including Serbs) shared such features. Would’ve probably made more serious inroads in a less competitive batch.

    SLOVAK REPUBLIC – Lea Sindlerova. Facewise, she was among the prettiest, and I originally believed she could conceivably join her Czech colleague into the finals. But then I examined her figure a little more closely and her stage presentations, and I thought her belly was a tad too concave for comfort, though she remained on the trim side (unlike, say, this year’s Miss Lebanon). Still, I should give her credit for being among the stronger Slovaks fielded in this pageant.

    SOUTH SUDAN – Mary Aheu Deng Kudum. Of course what everyone noticed about her was her height of 6’5”. Pre-arrival photos made her seem that she resembled supermodel Iman, though it turned out she didn’t really possess that supermodel’s bearing and sophistication. Still, she’s the second strongest African in this year’s batch, so if they decided to implement a continental representation for this year’s Top 18, she could conceivably take the 2nd African slot.

    SWEDEN – Giulia Simone Olsson. Some fans might appreciate her unvarnished girl-next-door features, but to my eyes, she was simply plain and unpolished and definitely not in serious contention for the finals.

    TURKEY – Gözde Zay. She did have a slender frame of a supermodel, and she was well known for her bangs, but she unfortunately was guilty of being unable to capitalize on her strengths to best effect. For instance, during the Group 2 Evening Gown competition, she sported a simple peach gown that was impeccably designed—unfortunately she walked like an anorexic hunchback in it, and hence could not make any kind of great impression.

    TURKS & CAICOS – Alison Capron. Let me repeat my sentiments from my Cocoa Babes and Crème Confetions article: this lady was simply the best representative from this country since Miss Universe 1987 semifinalist, Carmelita Ariza. She is a complete package of beauty, brains, and gab. She may not have the sleek wardrobe of her rivals, but she knew how to make the most of what she had.

    U S A – Amy Diaz. She is arguably the best representative from this country since Miss Earth 2005 finalist (and eventual legendary Survivor contestant) Amanda Kimmel. And Amy has some crucial edges over Amanda, like polished communication skills and competitive drive. She was such a stratified complete package that my Miss Venezuela-loving friend made a bold prediction—he actually foresaw her winning Miss Earth in lieu of Sandra. He had made several pronouncements that actually came true. Do we have another possible usurper in our midst? I’m inclined to agree with him on this one

    WALES – Dominique Dyer. Well, she’s a pretty and a worthwhile contestant with an inconsistent sparkle that I don’t really foresee her landing in the finals.

    Now that Group 2 is all accounted for, let us see how my leaderboard adds up including Group 1 and 2:

    TOP CONTENDERS: PHILIPPINES, SPAIN, VENEZUELA

    POSSIBLE USURPERS: ITALY, U S A

  • NOTICIA DE UNA ELECCIÓN ACERTADA -- Ajes, feliz con mi nueva reina, 19:27:41 11/18/09 Wed [6]
    ¡Hola a todos y todas!

    Sin lugar a dudas ganó la mejor, quien no tenía competencia alguna, Natalia Navarro, una mujer moderna, con clase, culta, con impacto, alta, con buen cuerpo y rostro hermoso, estoy dichoso con nuestra nueva reina nacional; espero lo mejor de ella como Señorita Colombia y estoy convencido de que peleará la corona de Miss Universo 2010.

    Desde el día en que conocí personalmente a Natalia quedé cautivado con ella, sentí lo mismo que cuando vi a Taliana Vargas por primera vez, tuve la impresión de que esta mujer tiene el impacto necesario para pelear la corona de Miss Universo. Y es que hablar con nuestra nueva Miss Colombia es todo un placer, Natalia es una mujer dulce, centrada, inteligente y muy cálida, con ella estoy absolutamente seguro de que no habrá cambios bruscos de personalidad, como ha ocurrido con anteriores reinas colombianas.

    Natalia será una reina diferente, como me gustan a mí, ella sabrá cumplir con sus compromisos sociales como reina de Colombia, pero no descuidará su preparación para Miss Universo porque es ambiciosa y muy astuta; ella es consciente de que para sobresalir en una competencia como la de Miss Universo debe ganarse a los organizadores, a la prensa, al público y sobre todo a los jueces. Yo estoy muy tranquilo porque además es muy sagaz, porque está abierta a cualquier cambio físico que necesite para mejorar y es muy receptiva ante los consejos de quienes queremos que esté en inmejorables condiciones físicas y con la actitud correcta para ir, por fin, por la segunda corona de Miss Universo para Colombia. Enhorabuena Colombia, tenemos una reina de lujo, Felicitaciones Nata, estoy muy orgullo de tenerte como mi Soberana de belleza.

    Con respecto a la nueva Virreina Nacional debo decir que también me gusta, pero la verdad es que esperaba a Caro de Cundinamarca en ese lugar. Lady Viviana tiene un rostro hermoso, ella es dueña de una belleza clásica que gusta en cualquier certamen internacional, tiene una estatura promedio, no es tan bajita como algunos dicen, su cuerpo es bonito, no está gorda, como dicen otros; pero sin lugar a dudas lo mejor que tiene son sus ganas de triunfar y de comerse al mundo. Me explico, cuando la conocí personalmente hace unos meses vi en ella una reina con mucho potencial, pero su gran problema era la expresión ya que de diez palabras dichas, cuatro estaban mal y se lo hice saber. Hoy día, se superó a sí misma y por eso la felicito, se ganó su puesto a punta de disciplina y mucha dedicación, no en vano dio la mejor respuesta de la noche, con una serenidad que me dejó con la boca abierta. Viste Vivi que si se puede, te felicito por tanta disciplina, me dejaste atónito cuando te oí responder de la manera que lo hiciste, pero más orgulloso me sentí cuando el jurado me dijo que habías hecho una de las tres mejores entrevistas privadas, allí te ganaste tu virreinato, bien merecido y ¡enhorabuena!

    Nuestra Primera Princesa Nacional está más que lista para ser la tercera Miss Intercontinental colombiana, que proyección, que cuerpo, que actitud, que pasarela, Caro es la típica reina contemporánea que cada día sorprende más, felicitaciones a ti también hermosa, no te sientas derrotada, eres toda una ganadora, lo que pasa es que en éste tipo de certámenes la suerte también juega; sácate la espina regalándonos una corona más a los colombianos, para atrás ni para coger impulso, querida mía, el verbo renunciar queda prohibido para ti.

    De la Segunda Princesa Nacional no puedo decir mucho puesto que no la conocí muy a fondo, Macry es bella, tiene un cuerpo hermoso, aunque menudita está muy bien proporcionada, es inteligente, tiene salero y la labia de los paisas, su rostro es bello y su traje de coronación fue para mí de los mejores de la noche; ella es una muy buena carta para un certamen donde la estatura no sea tan determinante.

    De la Señorita Atlántico no diré mucho, pues tampoco la conocí muy bien, sólo me limitaré a decir que cuando la vi por primera vez no me gustó para nada, me pareció una mujer mayor y demasiado plástica, pero con el tiempo me di cuenta de que lo de ella era exceso de seguridad y no la sabía manejar. Sin embargo, en plena competencia demostró que merecía su lugar por su cuerpazo y actitud de ganadora. Suerte en sus estudios en Italia.

    De la nueva Tercera Princesa, Risaralda puedo decir que es una mujer dulce y carismática, pero muy bajita para mi gusto. Su rostro es bello y su cuerpo muy bien proporcionado pero me parece que no tiene el impacto necesario para reinar internacionalmente. Sin embargo, como el colombiano constructivo que soy, quisiera equivocarme y tener que retractarme. Éxitos donde quiera que la enviaren como candidata por Colombia, tendrá todo mi apoyo.

    Así termina, respetados compatriotas, la versión número 75 del Concurso Nacional de Belleza, celebremos juntos pues tenemos una reina de lujo, tenemos que acompañarla en su reinado, ella convencerá a sus detractores, ya verán; de eso estoy totalmente seguro, pues a mujeres como ella es muy fácil admirarlas porque con su dulzura, belleza y clase es más difícil no quererla que adorarla. ¡Dios salve a nuestra reina!

    ¡Hasta la próxima!

  • 3 MORE DAYS TO THE BIGGEST EVENT ON EARTH! -- `, 00:11:21 11/20/09 Fri [1]
    Breath-taking Boracay
    November 19, 2009 ·

    We’re in paradise!

    We arrived last night when the sun was setting and its magnificent rays painted the sky with streaks of pink, orange and red. It was hard not to gawk at such a sight.

    Whisked away to the Shangri-La Resort for some drinks, we were then stunned by the beauty of the pristine white sand and calm blue sea. Definitely a perfect location for a romantic getaway with that someone special. The architecture and layout of the Shangri-La is spectacular. Newly opened in March, I wanna go back there again soon for a proper holiday!

    Dinner at Kasbah was one of the best we’ve had. Not only did we savour fantastic mutton stew, pita bread with hummus and loads of other goodies, we for once, dined in peace without so much bugging us. The soft sand beneath our feet coupled with the gentle crashing of waves barely 10m away from our dining area made for a romantic and relaxed place for us girls to hang out after a long day of travelling. Naturally with such a serene scene, we took pictures both in and out of the water.

    This morning, breakfast overlooked a sea so blue it was as though someone had poured paint into it. Soon we headed out to the amazing greens in our resort Fairways and Bluewater for a photoshoot. Zooming by in our golf buggy, flashes of brilliant red from the hibiscus flower peppered the sidewalks. In the blazing yellow sunlight, we posed for pictures and had a blast getting an uneven tan.

    Now sitting in the lounge with the wind gently caressing my cheek and playfully messing my hair up, I listen to the soothing sound of the waves while staring out into a black canvas. I am truly awe struck by having experienced the spectrum of colours of our world in a day. But it would be such a pity if we did not take care of our planet Earth now. The beauty that we’ve come to know and love so well will not be around for future generations to appreciate and love like we do if we dont start right this moment.

    AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH! THE CROWNING OF SANDRA SEIFERT, MISS EARTH 2009! ON NOVEMBER 22, 2009!



    Philippines WON BEST IN LONG GOWN 2009

    Philippines WON BEST IN SWIMSUIT 2009

    LOOK AT HER! OVERWHELMING PRAISES FROM THE OTHER "MISS EARTH MESSAGE BOARD"

    Miss Philippines will win Miss EARTH 2009... go, go, go... the Best gown ever i have seen.... Bianca Manalo who represented Miss Philippines Universe 2009 should have worn this kind of gown Sandra Seifert is wearing... she would have won Miss Universe 2009

    Miss Philippines Sandra Seifert is also very smart just like Karla Henry, Miss Earth 2008 from the Philippines.... they better watch out on the final question and answer portion... if Sandra pulls away on the Q and A, this will be a repeat victory for the Philippines.... wow, nice song too... Top Model... hehe

    Miss Philippines Earth 2009 Sandra Seifert deserves the crown, look at her gown.... and she is really smart like Miriam Defensor Santiago.... i am 100% sure she will win the crown after the Question and Answer portion..... :)

    Miss Philippines should have gone for Miss Universe. She stands out over here, she would have definitely given Stefania and Ada a run for their money!


    THE TRUTH IS... PHILIPPINES WILL WIN BECAUSE MOST OF THE JUDGES ARE FILIPINOS AND THE PAGEANT WILL BE HELD IN THE PHILIPPINES!

    IN 2008 & 2009, MISS UNIVERSE HAD A BACK TO BACK VICTORY IN VENEZUELA EVEN IF THE JUDGES ARE NOT 90% VENEZUELAN AND THE PAGEANT WAS NOT HELD IN VENEZUELA!

    IN 1999 & 2000, MISS WORLD HAD A BACK TO BACK VICTORY FOR INDIA EVEN IF THE JUDGES ARE NOT 90% INDIAN AND THE PAGEANT WAS NOT HELD IN INDIA!

    OMG! THE MISS EARTH NATIONAL DIRECTORS SHOULD NOT SEND A DELEGATE NEXT YEAR BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, THE MISS EARTH IS LOOKING FOR A BEAUTY WITH THE SAME STANDARDS OF JESSICA TRISKO AND KARLA HENRY... BOTH OF THEM ARE HALF FILIPINAS


    ps.. OF COURSE, here are the SUGARCOATERS from the Woman of the Earth MB to the rescue! lol!
