[> Subject: (!) pictures of Miss Indonesia 2002 program Author: Sagita Pratiwi [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:24:28 11/12/02 Tue Hi, First of all, let me just say that it is very creative of you to create this website! My friends said to me that they couldnt get enough information and coverage about miss indonesia pageant but with this website, they know where to find such info. Thanks a lot for your hard work. Secondly, if it might help, I could give you some pictures from the 2002 Miss Indonesia Pageant to be used in this website. Just tell me what sort of pictures would you like. I myself been busy with my career after the beauty contest. All the other finalist now doing their activities becoming commercial models, catwalk show, TV presenter, and soap opera actress. We are keeping in touch once every month. I dont think I have the talents to go that way (show business). But maybe if someone asked me to be a business news reader on TV or a management-related TV show, I might do it. In the meantime I decided to focus on my goal: becoming one of the top management consultant in South East Asia. I know it is not an easy job for me, but Im way there (i hope). Wish me luck!. sincerely, Sagita Pratiwi Wacik 2nd Runner Up Miss Indonesia 2002 (ps: btw its not entirely true that i ignored my chance of winning during the final night... :( i was afraid that the time - 1 minute answering time - is elapsed so i answer the question too quickly... well, this is why people said "men can tried hard but God decided"... :) maybe God knows that its best for me not to win the crown, dont you think?)

[> [> Subject: :~( Feel sorry 4 these beauty-pageant contestants :((( Author: ~Realistic~ [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:25:59 03/10/03 Mon Sweetheart, it's no wonder you didn't win; you made a lot of grammatical errors (didn’t you realize that at all?!) I guess you’re one of the best from the whole crowd of idiots & morons:))) My goodness!!! I'm shocked & sad at the same time:(((...What a truly big disappointment!!! This really proves the low-level quality of these beauty-pageant contestants...The controversial rumors and beliefs have been proven factual! You girls are bunch of airheads!!! And you want to be one of the top management consultants in the South East Asia?! You better go back to grammar school & re-learn your English first...trust me on this;) If not, dream oonnnnn!!!! Sweety, don't live in "the clouds& rainbow", be realistic!!! Anyway, good luck!

[> [> [> Subject: ~Realistic~'s message, "Feel sorry 4 these beauty-pageant contestants :(((" Author: Doddy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 03:34:35 05/12/03 Mon Dear ~Realistic~, thank you for your ignorant reply. Putting down other people for what they want to achieve. At least they have real goals, I guess your only goal is to put down somebody else's grammars. Do you have the brains to match hers? I don't think so. You do know that most executive positions require more analytical thinking than ability in grammar. Have you ever heard of a secretary?

[> [> [> [> Subject: An Uneducated Comment (Doddy) Author: Mark [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:26:02 07/05/03 Sat Doddy, Your comment truly degrades the highly skilled/educated business executives (particularly top-level managers) in South East Asia; in fact, it’s an insult to the business world in general! Sagita’s English proficiency surely needs to exceed beyond secretarial level of competence in order for her to reach the top-level management of international business. Acquiring an excellent business communication skill is unquestionably an essential basic requirement to succeed in the global business; therefore, yes, undoubtedly, it’s a must! How can we trust & rely on a person’s analytical ability when he/she couldn’t even implement the simple appropriate use of grammar? The use of language certainly reflects our level of education, intelligence, and professionalism. Unfortunately, Sagita did make numerous grammatical errors (fundamental ones), and we all need to be objective about her linguistic ability in English. Please take ~Realistic~'s critique as a motivation to improve yourself. As for Miss Indonesia Organization, I believe appropriate English training is necessary during quarantine period. As an American who used to work in Indonesia and completely fell in love with your magical culture, I truly hope Miss Indonesia 2003 will compete in Miss Universe beauty pageant! Thank you. P.S. I would like to congratulate the people behind the making of this superb website. It really shows a lot of hard work, personal dedication, and sacrifice. Excellent job!!! >Dear ~Realistic~, thank you for your ignorant reply. >Putting down other people for what they want to >achieve.

[> [> [> Subject: B-) Sagita Pratiwi, keep up the good work...! Author: Susan La Greca [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:37:44 09/10/03 Wed Sagita, do not listen to these people, dear. I read that you graduated from a reputable university, and finished a master degree in such young age! You have proven that you have "BRAIN". I sincerely hope you are doing great in your career as well. It is always hard to please everyone. Not everyone can appreciate beauty pageant. So, as long as you have tried your best, keep it up! Sure you can be a role model for Indonesian young generation. Not all Miss Indonesia have to be a celebrity. That's why I would love to see you being a top consultant myself. Now, be happy and thankful for who you are and what you want to be Sagita. All the best.

[> [> Subject: Re: pictures of Miss Indonesia 2002 program Author: Larry Cohen [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:36:17 07/29/03 Tue Its all very well having the contest..now you must have delegates sent globally ie annual participation in Miss World, Miss Universe, Miss Earth, Miss International, Miss Intercontinental etc etc Indonesia has no shortage of beautiful women, women who represent a country so diverse. I am sure it would only be a matter of time before Ina girls make it into the finals and produce future winners. They could act as a very positive Tourist Ambassador for the country, reminding the World of those treasured Tourist spots that are unique to Indonesia. Why not try to press for participation this year for events such as Miss International in Japan and the Miss World contest. Once participation begins this will become a permanent feature. Participation in such events will help bring Indonesia back on to the World Stage and much needed publicity. Also isnt it about time too? If nations such as Tanzania and Algeria are in pageants so should Ina be in theory? It may be a bit tough in the beginning but it will definitely be in Ina's great interests and a good exposure/experience for the young talented good looking women of Indonesia! I wish Miss Indonesia pageant every success in the future! Good Luck! kind regards always.
