My Miss Universe 2013 Top 15 4th Hot Picks

Erin Brady clinching the top spot is not a real shocker because she could really win this!

Erin Brady clinching the top spot is not a real shocker because she could really win this!

She’s a hot favorite to win the Miss Universe crown ever since she won the Miss USA pageant and I can see why. She’s got the facial beauty of Olivia Culpo, the sensuous glare of Dayana Mendoza, the elegance of Leila Lopes and the x factor of Ximena Navarette. I don’t really mind her winning a back to back for the US cuz’ she’s so worth it!

Hometown girl Elmira is too hard to ignore. Her multiracial beauty is simply captivating and with her home turf advantage, she could very well be on her way to the crown if she can pull enough steam until the finale.

Meanwhile, my girl Ariella Arida stepped it up big time and I cannot believe that over a period of just one week – she was able to deliver the goods for an impending top 5 finish and if she’s lucky, maybe the third crown for the Philippines! You go girl!

Miss Universe Philippines Ariella Arida’s “Controversial” Interview With Karen Davila

For those of you who are curious to watch the last kinda controversial interview of our very own Miss Universe delegate Ariella Arida, here’s that full segment of ANC’s Headstart by Karen Davila where she asked Ara about pageant related topics, different current events (pretty tough!) and some questions thrown in by the peeps from twitter.

If I’m being honest, I love how blunt Ara was during this interview. She may not be very eloquent in English but I love how she’s able to send her message across. She’s sweet and feisty at the same time and I kinda liked it! Maldita lang ang peg! Haha

And man’ what a very big transformation! my oh my, she looked insanely divine here! She’s now a major competition and the pageant world knows it! Keep it up Ara!!! I am supporting you 100% and we (the Filipino people) are behind you all the way! Mabuhay ka! #forthephilippines

My Miss Universe 2013 Top 15 Second Hot Picks!

Monic is reigning still as my Top Pick for this year's Miss Universe crown!

Monic Perez of Puerto Rico is reigning still as my Top Pick for this year’s Miss Universe crown!

1. Puerto Rico‘s undeniable charisma and sex appeal keeps other girls from claiming the top spot from her two hot picks in a row now. Every single chance I had, I am checking forums, blogs and just plain searching and Monic as I see it is the most consistent. This girl’s the one to beat at the moment!

2. Erin Brady is an upgrade from last year’s winner and the reigning Miss Universe Olivia Culpo. Had Brady won the Miss USA crown last year, everyone will be at peace at the loss of Janine ( myself included) at last year’s Miss Universe (but let’s move on LOL). Erin is tall, feisty, charming and has a great personality. A back to back win is not far-fetched but it’s kinda risky 🙂 *wink*

3. Olga Strozhenko of Ukraine remains to be one of my favorites. This girl is pure class and elegance in the real sense of the world. ‘girl doesn’t have a bad angle!

4. Croatia’s Melita Fabecic will be a surefire hit in Russia. She’s young and was declared the most beautiful woman in Croatia and she’s European! She’s got everything going for her!

5. Whulandary Herman of Indonesia is probably the best Indonesian delegate to represent Indonesia in any international beauty pageant EVER! This girl’s a freaking supermodel! If an Asian could win this pageant if it is to be held tomorrow, hands down – she’s got it in the bag!

Top 2 -15

THE REST OF MY TOP 15 ARE

6. Russia – Elmira Abdrazakova
7. Israel – Yityish Aynaw
8. Dominican Republic – Yaritza Reyes
9. France – Hinarani de Longeaux
10. Venezuela – Maria Gabriela Isler
11. Peru – Cindy Mejia Santa Maria
12. Poland – Paulina Krupinska
13. Philippines – Ariella Arida
14. Brazil – Jakelyne Oliveira
15. Italy – Luna Isabella Voce

Who’s you favorite this year?

Anyways, so last Friday – Megan’s much awaited homecoming was received by Filipino fans like how a true queen should be welcomed. Despite of the rain, people still went to the streets of Makati just to see our very first Miss World! I wasn’t there though, I opted to wait at the Mall Of Asia. I just got off work by then and I waited for like 2 hours and I was not disappointed at all. I finally saw Megan Young as the new Miss World and Miss Julia Morley in person Wee! So exciting! I was like…OHMMMYYYGGGOOOSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!! I was not able to take decent pictures of Megan but I was able to snap a quick vid posted below 🙂

Gaaahhhh! it was just crazy last Friday! I’m just so proud of Megan!!!!
