Children's Party & Miss Earth 2007

It was fun, watching Miss Earth 2007 live. This year it was held at the UP theatre. I have an outstanding invitation to this international event every year since I met Ryan Samson, my former colleague at Epac or Oneglobal (what's in a name? tax shield? hahahaha). He's the master web designer of Miss Earth and the President of Marketing International Group. Clap! Clap!

So what made me go this time (finally!)? Well, one of the reasons was because the venue was very near my place. I thought this must be the right time to go back and for the right occasion. Whatever.

Anyway, on my way to UP, I didn't realize that there will be re-routing so after a few misses, I arrived at the venue in one piece. I wore basic black pants, my Forever 21 hot pink spaghetti top (got it on sale) and stone-studded heels. Nothing special. I originally thought of wearing a little black dress but I was coming in from a children's party (Happy Birthday to my inaanak Nikki!) so there wasn't much time to change into something stunning from a very casual get-up. Even my makeup was very basic--True Match cream foundation by L'Oreal, Nichido powder and a combination of Vintage Rose Luscious lipstick by Mary Kay and Diandra Supermoist Hydrating lipstick in Plum Passion. I don't even remember wearing blush. Definitely no eyeshadow. :(

That night I was surprised to see Vanz wearing something nice (hahahaha). Peace! I met Emz, Beng and Ryan's officemate. It was great to see former work mates. Little Miss Earth, Tetski (Sarj, ikaw 'to!) was there too and Joni, of course, now a very sikat webmaster (geek!). Beng's bf, Nico, tagged along as well.

After the announcement of the semifinalists, my interest in the pageant plunged. Well, Miss Philippines didn't make it. So I settled for Miss Switzerland. Not because of merit but because I think she wasn't a popular choice. Oh well, I've been mainstream all my working life, why not try something different this time. Of course, she didn't win but nobody expected it in the first place.

We went to Starbucks after and ended the night with a nice cold coffee.
