The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 130,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 7 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Now this week’s episode was a real shocker for me – I mean, I kinda expected the eliminated girl not to win but to get the boot over some other girls? C’mon now! Plus judge Daniel Boey’s getting so mean as the season progresses – wtf.
Kate Ma got the best picture this week!
Kate Ma finally got her first call out followed by Aastha, Jessica, Helena, Rachel, Stephanie and Sofia. The bottom two are Trang and Melissa….and the person that’s still in the running towards becoming Asia’s Next Top Model is Melissa. 😦
Aastha Pokharel
Jessica Amornkuldilo
Helena Chan
Rachel Erasmus
Stephanie Retuya
Sofia Wakabayashi
Melissa Th’ng
Goodbye Trang 😦 You will always be the high fashion diva of this cycle girl!

Janine during the Binibining Pilipinas 2012 Parade Of Beauties.
I am joining the herds of pageant fans thinking that it should’ve been Janine Tugonon, Miss Universe Philippines 2012 who should be wearing the Miss Universe Diamond Nexus crown today but the decision has been made and Miss USA – Olivia Culpo was declared the brightest star in the Universe. Olivia isn’t on my Top 16 list after the preliminary competition and I only placed her 11th on my prediction which I posted in a popular pageant site missosology. I guess, it wasn’t really the time for the Philippines to win its third Miss Universe crown – not just yet.
Here’s Janine after the 2012 Bb.Pilipinas Coronation Night and yours truly photobombing the queen! Haha (nah – didn’t get the chance to hold her then LOL)
I’ve been vocal about not being the biggest fan of Janine Tugonon ever since she joined the Binibining Pilipinas 2011 but I already accepted the fact that she’d be the one to carry the Philippine flag so I just prayed that she’ll be able to carry on the achievements of Venus Raj and Shamcey Supsup. I was proven wrong several times by this girl with her sheer determination and perseverance to prove her critics wrong and be a great representative of our country.
Today in Manila and last night in Las Vegas, Janine showed the world what a true Filipina is – beautiful, intelligent and sophisticated. I am very proud of what she have accomplished and even if she didn’t win the crown, in my heart and in the hearts of every Filipino – she is the Miss Universe 2012.
Relive Janine’s night and her incredible performance representing the 7,107 islands of the Philippines!

‘better late than never aye “) Everyone’s been raving about this Maranaw-inspired traditional costume designed by Pitoy Moreno. It’s a far fetched costume from the usual “terno” that our representatives have been wearing from the past years. I actually loved it and Janine carried it with class and elegance! Way to represent Janine!

 I just finished reviewing the Miss Universe 2012 preliminary competition and I sure had a tough time grading each delegate’s performances. I came up with my top 16 (17 that is, because there’s a tie for the last spot.) My Top 16 is based solely on the telecast preliminary and does not include their interview (obviously.) Last year, I got eight over 16 and three of my choices were part of the finalists (Miss Universe 2011 – Angola, 3rd runner-up Philippines and 4th runner-up China.) I’m hoping that I’d get more this year haha. Who are your top 16?
MY TOP 16 / 17
1. Puerto Rico – Bodine Koehler
2. Venezuela – Irene EsserÂ
3. Cayman Islands – Lindsay Japal
3.2 Philippines – Janine Tugonon
5. The Netherlands – Nathalie Den Dekker
6. Peru – Nicole Faveron
7. Czech Republic – Tereza Chlebovská

The preliminary competition concluded last night in Las Vegas and just a few hours ago here in Manila and I’m still reviewing the performances of the 89 contestants to come up with my Top 16! While doing so, here’s our very own Janine Tugonon in her “official evening gown” during the Evening Gown portion of the prelims. What do you think of the gown and how she sashay with it? Love it or hate it?

The episode three of the first cycle of Asia’s Next Top Model is the makeover for the remaining girls! I’m sure that like me, the makeover is also one of your favorite episodes from the Top Model series. These twelve beautiful Asians were given new looks to bring their inner supermodel out! Here they are…
Aastha
Bei Si
Helena
Jessica
Trang
Stephanie
Jee
Kate
Melissa
Sofia
Rachel
I thought Jessica got the best makeover! She looked so high fashion with that pixie-haircut!
At this week’s photoshoot, the girls were asked to embody Chinese Zodiacs wearing avante guard outfit from Tube Gallery and they were shot by international photographer Hakan Celebi. Who’s the zodiac that got a bad horoscope and went home?
Aastha
Bei Si
Filantropi
Helena
Jee
Jessica
Kate
Melissa
Rachel
Sofia
Trang
Stephanie
The first call out went to Helena (her 2nd FCO) followed by Stephanie, Jee, Rachel, Filantropi, Sofia, Melissa, Jessica, Kate, Trang. Bei Si and Aastha’s photos are deemed the worst this week and the girl that got the boot is… Bei Si – bye girl!
Here’s Miss Universe-Philippines’ Janine Tugonon looking so fierce and hot in her Miss Universe glamor shot also known as her “Fadil Shot” shot by the Miss Universe Organization’s official photographer Fadil Berisha. This in my opinion is one of the best glam shots this edition! It can rival Venus Raj’s 2010 Fadil shot but we all know no one can topped Queen V. 🙂 Things are looking good for Janine based on her candid and official pictures. I’m hoping that these would translate into the prelims and the finals! Go Janine!
