stories from the middle earth press room

i used to like her when she was still cute, as in joey-cute (remember dawson's creek?). but if being mrs. tom cruise makes you this haggard-looking and un-pretty then i think i'll pass. never been fascinated with scientology anyway.


PLEASE DON'T LET HER LEAVE THE COUNTRY!

i know this girl has been lampooned, lambasted and torn to pieces pero dadagdag pa ako. hehe.


point is, kahit ano pang sabihin nila, isa sa mga ginegrade sa beauty pageants is how you conduct yourself under pressure. tipo bang grace under fire. top candidates should have their wits with them even under pressure. clearly this girl should not represent us in an international competition. it's not about her english abilities (or lack thereof) but rather how she's supposed to compose her thoughts quickly and intelligently. if she can't speak english, she could have answered in tagalog but i think these days it's taboo since filipinos are known to be good english speakers. problem is she caved in.

paano pa kaya pag mismong miss world na?

yes she's 17 but age shouldn't be an excuse to answer immaturely. there were a lot of 17-18-year olds out there who competed in international beauty pageants who had more brains and poise. maybe i could forgive her for stammering and speaking gibberish but what undid her (in my opinion) is when she tried to make excuses for herself like she's only 17 and that was her first competition...really now...i don't think you should make excuses in front of national television for your shortcomings if you are in a pageant. there are more intelligent and "poised" way of worming out of that situation. unfortunately, immaturity took over. making excuses...

who to blame? the judges.

according to the youtube comments:

here are some of the judges:
1) Marian Rivera
2) Dennis Trillo
3) Chris Tiu

tsk tsk tsk.. MGA JUDGES ang may KASALANAN!!!...
GINAMIT ng GMA7 ang KASIKATAN ni MARIMAR para gawing JUDGE but wala xang ALAM sa ganito eh kaYa ganun ang RESULT!!

another one:

simpleng tanong= simpleng sagot
kelan pa naging qualified judge si marimar pati si zaido? hahaha!! kawawa ang credibilty ng pageant na dedegrade... woo-hoo! mag bold ka nalang!

ewan ko ba. baluktot na ba talaga ang mundo ng mga pilipino ngayon? we're number one in corruption, as one international survey said. the president is so corrupt that she already sold the philippines literally to foreigners via the spratly's oil exploration issue. and now we're sending half-wits to international beauty pageants. beauty pageant na nga lang yun eh...
