  • Introducing the Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 5 Contestants

    The Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 5 contestants have already been revealed! 🙌 Here are the 14 models vying for the title of becoming Asia’s. 👏 Next. 👏 Top. 👏 Model. 👏

    As I’ve already mentioned in my previous Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 5 post, we have the usual countries represented: Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia. What’s special about this cycle is that for the first time in Asia’s Next Top Model history, twins are competing, representing Indonesia. 👭 Taiwan is also back, last seen in Cycle 3.

    Now let’s meet this cycle’s 14 girls. In no particular order 👀 (So please don’t go looking for a pattern like last time, okay? 😂)

    If you aren’t too keen on reading long articles, I’ve prepared a video for you with all 14 girls after the cut…

  • 65th Miss Universe Coronation Night Live Blog

    Good morning Philippines and good evening New York! Amiciness went on a vacation leave today but not to travel. I skipped the office to live blog the 65th Miss Universe live from SM MOA Arena, Manila, Philippines (*channels inner Ariella Arida*). I spent the night watching Miss Universe specials of Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho to Gandang Pinay (hosted by Miriam Quiambao). HAHA! Needless to say, I’m all pumped up to know who will be the next Miss Universe. Good luck to all 86 beautiful ladies!

    Word has it that instead of 12 semi-finalists, 13 ladies will be chosen to move on to the next round. The 13th finalist would be candidate with the most number of Twitter and app votes, which totaled to 213 million votes world wide as of yesterday. I’m not an expert in pageants but here are my personal faves. *update* I just noticed that many of them are from asian countries. HAHA. Go Asia!

  • The Queens are Coming to the 65th Miss Universe!

    The 65th Miss Universe just keeps on surprising. Past Miss Universe queens will be gracing the most beautiful night in the universe. It’s like a homecoming of queens held in a country obsessed with beauty pageants, nonetheless. It’s like when Comic-Con announced that Hodor was coming to Manila. The excitement, the panic… everything is so surreal! I can’t wait for Mondaayyyyy!

    *breathes* Okay. I’m OK now. These confidently beautiful pageant legends are the stars aligning in our country next week. Okay, enough “universe” references!
