MJ is our newly crowned Miss Philippines Universe 2014!
It is past 3 in the morning as I type this and I’m as tired as a limp rag but a very happy one!
I just got back home from the victory party of MJ Lastimosa, the girl who risked it all for one last shot at the Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2014 crown (officially called Miss Philippines Universe 2014) and won it!
I have so much to say about this but the main thing is that I AM VERY HAPPY for MJ’s victory because her’s is a story of redemption and vindication.
While I rejoice for MJ Lastimosa, my heart is breaking for the lovely Pia Wurtzbach. We really thought she was going to win the Universe crown after she had gotten several special awards. But even if she ended the night without a crown, she was gracious all the way to the end. Not once did she betray any disappointment on her face. A true beauty queen.
I have SO MUCH MORE to say but I’m just too tired to tell you so I’ll save it for tomorrow when I’ve gotten my beauty rest.
And after you scroll down thru this, you better get your beauty sleep too!
