And one of my best friends was crowned Ms. Philippines Earth 2015!

I couldn't be any happier for her because I know this is her dream. I've been a witness to her struggles and to how she worked really hard to reach where she is now. I'm a proud bestfriend, and sister (from another mother), I must say.

Once again, Congratulations, Angelia Gabrena Ong, from the City of Manila, for winning the title of Miss Philippines Earth 2015! This is just the start. You have a long journey to go. Go on and prove to the Filipinos and to the rest of the world that you deserve this title. We'll be supporting you all the way. Good luck and God bless, Miss Crystal Queen!

Ladies and gentlemen, please support her campaign, #wewillbecausewecan and let's all pray that she wins the international pageant in November to give the Philippines a back-to-back Miss Earth title for 2014 and 2015.

and we gave her 3 victory parties :)

Fast and the Furious 6 Red Carpet Premiere

We're so lucky to receive free movie premiere passes from Solar TV Network last May 15. I only knew about the free ticket from our friend at 5pm and the premiere was scheduled at 7:30pm. I had to rush all the way from Marikina to SM Mall of Asia just to see Vin Diesel LIVE!

The Fast and the Furious Cast -- Luke Evans, Gina Carano, Michelle Rodriguez, and Vin Diesel -- was welcomed by a huge crowd at the SM MOA Concert Hall. While they're going crazy outside, we were watching them from inside the cinema, as the event was being aired live on the big screen.

Then they all went inside the cinema for a couple of messages. And luckily, we got Vin Diesel to sign our VIP passes! Yey! They left and headed to Solaire for their dinner with the family of the Solar owners. My friend was there so she was able to take really nice photos with the cast. Lucky her. haha! But it's okay, 'coz I got an autograph!:))

As a review of the movie, well it's the best in the series so far! It was really heart stopping and the scenes got me screaming out of shock haha! Definitely a must-see!

Mutya ng Cauayan in Isabela

In celebration of the Gaway-Gaway-yan Festival in Cauayan, Isabela, the Mutya ng Cauayan 2013 was held last April 11, 2013. My friend, Angelia Ong, co-hosted Tom Rodriguez in this pageant so we went on an overnight trip to Isabela via Cebu Pacific. It was a quick yet fun trip! Glad to have met new friends.:)

The KPop Experience: Guess Who!

Last January 20, I was at NAIA Terminal 2 with my uncle, grandma, and cousins because we were sending away our cousin back to Japan. Outside the international departure entrance, there's a big crowd (mostly girls) waiting but I just ignored them.

Our family stayed at the end-most part of the departure area wherein no one else were staying, While chatting there, the huge crowd 10 meters away from us turned screaming so I ran towards their direction to check what's going on. Some KPop guys got off a van and walked to the departure entrance gates. A lot of bouncers were there to control the crowd. Then I saw this girl who was crying like a "2-year-old kid whose lollipop fell on the ground". I got so curious that I asked her friend what's going on. The girl said it was "Infinite", a KPop group who joined the Girls' generation concert the previous night. The girl who turned hysterical got a bit calmer and hugged her friend as she said she can't believe she saw her idols. Woah! I was speechless. I left the scene and headed back to where I was standing first.

While I was chatting with my grandma and cousin, there's a black van that came and everybody at the departure entrance gates went screaming again. I got curious so I ran towards their direction again, until the van stopped in front of me. To my surprise, some cute Korean guys got off the van and the shouting girls came running towards me but they were stopped by the bouncers. So they were all blocked by the bouncers while I was there on the other side completely enjoying the view of these Kpop guys without competition haha! I took photos of them; but I didn't catch them looking because they were all in a hurry. I tweeted their photos and some Kpop fans responded that those guys were actually U-Kiss. Well I wasn't really familiar with Kpop guys because they all looked the same to me plus they belong in big groups that it's so hard to remember their faces, most especially their names. So, can you help me identify who these guys are?

This experience may be very random, but it's cool!:)
