Love Month

Already? 

It was just like yesterday when I welcomed 2020, now it’s February…a new chapter. I know, crazy isn’t it? But everything just happened so fast, like a blink of an eye. My mind still haven’t processed what happened the previous month to be honest and still hoping for some good news. There’s the bush fire in Australia, eruption of Taal volcano, Iran vs US attack and just recently, Kobe Bryant’s demise and then the first confirmed case of Novel Corona Virus or NCoV in the Philippines. January is like the bearer of bad news, not a good start for the year of the rat I must say. 

I’m not being pessimistic or anything but what’s happening in the world right now is making me re-think about dooms day. Why is there so much chaos? People are living in fear, that today or tomorrow might be their last breath. I guess everything happens for a reason. On the brighter side, no matter how divided nations are, in times of crisis people are coming together. I guess bad things brings out the good in people. Maybe it’s God’s plan to let us all know that there is kindness in all of us no matter how bad we think we are. I will be such a hypocrite if I will say that I never questioned God’s will because I did, many times. I wonder why he let something so evil happen to those who do not deserve them? Why he take away the ones we love? Too many why’s and questions left unanswered until one day we will realize that he have reasons that maybe we refuse to accept because it’s not what we want. We ask God to lead yet we have doubts and fears at the back of our minds. I guess the hardest thing to do is to fully surrender. We worry too much and not trust the process. 

Here’s to a new month full of hope, the world will rise again and all the unpleasant things that is happening around us will only make us braver. Let’s spread love and not the virus. 

Feb-Ibig

Hello February! Love is in the air again. Today is the first day of February 2017 and I still could not believe that the most awaited 65th Miss Universe hosted by our country after 23 years is finally over. I was in sophomore high school when Sushmita Sen won the title in 1994, would you believe it? Can time slow down a little bit, please? How I wish. 

I know, it's only been 2 days since the Miss Universe pageant so I will completely understand why everyone is still talking about what happened, the excitement, disappointment and all the mixed emotions during the recently concluded event. To be honest, I am proud and disappointed at the same time just like everyone else but let's just face it that things happen for a reason. It is nerve-wracking to be on stage, believe me, I know for sure because I use to sing and compete as a kid. It's not easy not to get nervous in front of a large crowd, more so when the whole world is watching you. You can't please everybody, people will judge you no matter what. It's funny how some people are quick to express their disappointments over social media that our country's bet, Maxene Medina should have answered in the vernacular so it's easier for her to express her thoughts but let's just put it this way, what if she really cannot think straight because she got nervous or experienced mental block perhaps? Will that change anything? I don't think she deserves all the bashing and stuff because with all fairness to this lady, she gave her all it's just maybe the Q and A portion is her weakness. We all have our own weaknesses as human beings, right? No matter how beautiful or perfect you think you are. So let's just move on and get this over with, shall we?

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach passing the crown to
Miss France Iris Mittenaere. The 65th Miss Universe Pageant
was held last January 30, 2017, at the Mall of Asia, Philippines.

Miss Philippines was asked the question about what significant change she has seen in the last ten years. This was a tough question but let me try to answer it just for the heck of it:


"I believe that women empowerment is the significant change I have seen in the last ten years. Gone are the days when women have to stay at home and take care of the family. We've become more independent and assertive. I am proud to be a woman and proud of how far we've come."


If I joined Miss U and with this answer, will I make the cut??? Lol. Yeah, whatever hehe. That's all for now.
