It’s no secret that I’m not the biggest fan of Tia but kudos to her for winning this week’s challenge and sharing it with Janice. Good for you girls!
Photographer Loh Lin Shan was the photog this week in a futuristic sport themed photoshoot! Pretty interesting aye? Each girls will have 15 frames.
Janice is determined to stay one more week and she’s givin’ it her all… still not a fan but kudos to this girl!
Wow! I am very impressed with Jodi this week! Girl’s a natural!!!! #preach
I’m not feeling this at all from Josephine. The styling was disappointing! Her worst to date!
The body’s good but the face is just blah! This isn’t looking good for Katarina.
What happened to Marie this week? This is such a downgrade from her amazing photo last episode!
After weeks of producing beyond mediocre photos, Natalie proved to me why she’s deserving of a spot this cycle! This photo’s perfection! Prolly the best this cycle so far!!! Werk!
I’ve no doubt now that we may see Nicole walking the finale as a finalist! She’s such a firecracker!
Poor Poojaa got the worst photo edited this cycle! I’m sure she had better shots than this…
Sheena looking fierce yet again! I’m seeing a final four placement for this girl!
Sneha looks masculine here! Not a good photo at all.
Tia. NEXT

Their faces and names are already posted in different sites and some of them are already creating enough buzz and hype but it’s the final night on March 30 that matters the most. So after weeks of grueling screening process, callbacks and all – the over 100 applicants of this year’s Binibining Pilipinas were trimmed down to 40! I’ve to say how impressed I am with the quality of the candidates this year.

Last night’s episode saw the 12 remaining girls undergo makeovers. Some of them aren’t happy about it as usual (cmon’ girls, if you wanna be a model, you’ve to be ready to DO THIS!)
For their photoshoot, they were styled by Nicoline to look their best in a 60’s chich style themed shoot! Who do you think got the boot this time?
I’m giving up on Janice. She’s short and she’s not using her full potentials that the judges saw in her…
I actually like this shot of Jodilly and kinda disagree with the judges’ critique. I thought she looked fresh but a little too modern perhaps
Josephine nailed this shot like no other and she’s definitely the one to beat at this point!!! Consistency is the game!
my baby Katja looks pretty here and that’s just it. Cmon’ girl, step it up!
Marie here reminds me a little of Nik Pace (Top Model US Cycle 5 runner up) and a mix of Solange Knowles. I don’t know if this is good or what…but this is great picture!
Natalie is so basic that it hurts me that some of the girls went home before her…
I am a fan of this girl. She’s feisty and she looks cool! Plus she’s tall! Get it girl!
I’m loving Poojaa’s styling here! Sophistication’s her last name!
Sheena’s style is so striking that she always manage to stand out. Not this time though
Not buying it Sneha girl. NEXT!
This isn’t working at all for me. The reflection is much fiercer for me! She’s got it though – bad styling perhaps?
Tia’s the shortest in the bunch and she doesn’t look like a model at all. She needs to leave next tbh

This episode almost killed half of the girls in the house. For their reward challenge, the girls did a commercial shoot for Visit Malaysia 2014 ads where they have to walk the runway on top of Menara Kuala Lumpur (KL Tower)! Janice had a panic attack while most of the girls did pretty well. Hometown girl Josephine was the winner of this challenge!
For their third shoot, the girls are to posed sexy as they test their limits to withstand the cold wearing just skimpy outfitsin SnoWalk in Sengalor. Most of them were amazing this episode except for Janice who seemed to be off her elements this week.
At panel, Josephine was yet again praised for her consistency as well as Nicole (who’s becoming my favorite by the way) for delivering edgy looks. The judges were not that impressed with the rest but they ultimately felt Janice and Jihye didn’t deliver at all…
So who’s getting the boot???
I just love how Nicole’s working her face!
Jihye’s looking too posey for me
Not a fan of her face here, Luv her body language though. Step it up Jodilly!
Poojaa – Model 101
Josephine is werking it! She’s unstoppable! The one to beat atm!
my little Katja! Wow! She’s totally improving!!!
Sneha’s giving me a very “inexpensive” pose here…ehem…
Jihye’s looking too posey for me
Thao needs to know how to look tall in pictures!
Sheena’s one of my favorite girls in the competition, like what the judges have mentioned – she knows this is a competition!
‘still not a fan Tia girl. NEXT!
Natalie’s shot’s just okay. Nothing special really…
This shot has got to be the worst for me… it’s borderline catalog and girl’ doesn’t know her angles!

Last night’s episode was pretty interesting with the remaining 14 girls vying for the title of the most bad@ss model in the house LOL. For their challenge, they were to form three groups with three girls each leaving Nicole and Sneha group-less so they formed a two-girl group instead. The groups are to take “selfies” of themselves and the winner of that challenge was the beautiful Pooja who shared her reward to… Katarina! They went to an helicopter ride, sightseeing the beautiful Malaysian scenery.
Shortly after that, the girls are to pose in Malaysian traditional clothing in Batu Caves ( a limestone hill that has a series of caves and cave temples situated in Gombak district in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.)
During the shoot, each girl just had 15 frames to work with. Jodilly, Janice, Nicole and Sneha impressed the photographer while Pooja, Katja and Natalie did okay. Bona was not showing versatility disappointing everyone in the shoot and the rest are just hanging there.
Prior to the panel, the girls are having some issues with each other esp Nicole over Janice whose being a brat in my opinion. Wow! I feel like watching an episode of the American version with this episode! LOL. Tia’s being all so bitchy with Katja. At panel, they hated Bona’s picture. Too bland IMO. I also didn’t like Tia’s pose. She’s not a model, TBH and the judges doesn’t like it as well. #served
Anyways, here are the pictures from last night episode. Don’t mind my critique, that’s just me. >_<
Bona
This is beyond lifeless. I thought she’d be great over the run of the show but this is pretty boring.
Janice
I do not like her at all. This photo isn’t very good to begin with. She look one dimensional in my opinion.
Jihye
I feel that the dress is too much for her. She’s drowning in this shot.
Jodilly
Biases aside, I think my homegirl’s killing it! The hidden hand was a bit distracting but overall, I’d say that this is a really great shot!
Josephine
I love Josephine’s bone structure. She can do better than this and I’m putting this shot in the upper tier.
Katarina
The ever-so feisty Katja! I totally love her personality but I feel that she’s not bringing it! She’s without question the prettiest in the house but “pretty” can only get you further.
Marie
I feel that she’s being safe but girl has got it!
Natalie
I liked it. I’m just worried that she looks really short which doesn’t help her at all since she’s only 5’7.”
I’m surprised by Nicole. She’s giving me a supermodel aura. I love the position of her legs as well as her face!!! Lovely!
Poojaa (Challenge Winner)
I love this shot. I thought it’s very elegant. Not digging her look but her posture’s quite nice.
Sheena
Now, this is fierce baby!! Go Sheena!
Sneha
She overdid it so there. It didn’t work at all.
Thao
I love Thao! I love how she photographs and her face is just to die for! It’s very interesting!
Tia
I’m not really digging it! Tia’s not a model, I’m sorry.

I’ve been checking out some of the Menswear collection this season and I just can’t help but gasp at some of the pieces from each collection! Man’ If I could just get my ass right there and just be mesmerize and buy ’em all. Okay – I need to stop now. Let me just show you some of my faves from the London shows.
I’ll try to make this post very short. A summary of some sort – a post I should’ve named Episode 1 – The Double Opening Elimination – Oops. So the show started where most of the girls were introduced. They did a bizarre challenge in the tradition of the Top Model let’s see who can survive these damn challenges?. Water! They have to walk on water! Well, you get it folks. During this challenge – Josephine, Jodilly and Bona are totally bringing it like a pro while the rest just did a-ok with dear Miss Kat falling – you’re still beautiful my homegirl. After the challenge, Jessie was whisked off the show right away after failing to impress. That was just the fastest elimination, imo. She didn’t even reach the makeover episode! So one down for the Chinese delegation.
byebye Jessie
from China, Jessie has already modeled before
The first photoshoot is for the show’s opening credits. Josephine was the most consistent so far so we have to watch out for this bis. She’s amazing! During the judging panel, a new judge was introduced – the Harper’s BAZAAR, Singapore & Harper’s BAZAAR Malaysia Creative Director Kenneth Goh. Hmmm?
So who’s the judges favorite during the shoot? Here’s the call-out order and their photos.
Tia snagging the season’s first FCO! Congrats!
Sheena was second best
Josephine’s third. Way to go Team Malaysia!
Fourth is Jodilly – the judges loves her!!!
5th – Thao
6th – Marie
7th – Sneha
8th – Janice
9th – Bona
10th – Kat (just a bit too safe for me)
11th – Pooja
12th – Jihye
13th – Nicole (I thought she would quit after receiving call about his grand dad passing – be strong Nic)
Bottom Two – Natalie almost got the cut. She should be thanking her lucky stars now
Eliminated – Elektra (her singing will be missed)
Do you think the right girls went home last night? Methinks yes. I love that Elektra’s a character but I didn’t see that much from her as a model during the premier episode. So there you have it folks. Tune in again next week Wednesday 9:40 PM on StarWorld and catch it locally on TV 5 on January 16, 9:00 PM.
So you’ve probably been hearing about Red Hot Chili Peppers, Empire of the Sun, Red Jumpsuits Apparatus and more artists gathering in the country this year for an international music festival… It is true folks. The event will be organized by 7107 aptly called 7107 International Music Festival which will be a two day event taking place on February 22-23, 2014 inside the Clark Freeport Zone where international and local artists will merge to bring entertainment and at the same time help the survivors of the Super Typhoon Yolanda where proceeds will be donated for their recovery.

There is no confirmation yet as to the rumors going around the blogosphere but Mary Jean Lastimosa (Binibining Pilipinas 2011 2nd runner up and 2012 Binibining Pilipinas semifinalist) looks like she’s really preparing to give pageants just one more go. With the news of her transferring into another beauty camp from Aces and Queens to its rival Kagandahan Flores, the most popular girl from the 2012 Binibining Pilipinas season is gearing up to battle it out one last time. The only question now is if she’s going to join the Binibining Pilipinas this year and replicate what Maricar Balagtas did who went on to finally win a crown after her third attempt at the 2004 Binibining Pilipinas and represented the country for Miss Universe at Quito, Ecuador. Some observers and forumers have polarizing opinions about her “supposed” / “rumored” plans of joining saying that she should give Binibini a rest and just try other pageants such as Miss World Philippines or Miss Philippines Earth. They may have a point but your blogger thinks that she should give it one last go this year. For one, the Binibini adjusted the age limit to 26 which made her very qualified to join. Second, I think she still has it. I mean, she’s gotten better since the 2012 pageant and I believe that more than anything else, she is still very much at her prime! Mary Jean for me embodies a multiracial beauty that the Miss Universe organization or Miss Supranational organization would appreciate. If and when she decides to join Binibini this year, I’d give her my 100% support.
Go MJ! Reach for your dreams and become the brightest star in the universe!
