Family Bonding

With my youngest bro and his family. We visited our parents resting place, yesterday Dec 23. To wish them MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY! It was their Wedding Anniversary, Dec. 22.

Our previous plan was to visit them right on the day of their Wedding Anniversary, but I got work. We had to postpone for the following day, as my day off falls on Monday and Tuesday. I was granted vacation leave Wednesday, Christmas Day. I feel great! 

Miss International 2013 is Miss Philippines!

Congratulations Miss Philippines! Miss International 2013! 

Bea Rose Santiago won the crown as Miss International 2013.  The pageant was held Tuesday Dec 17 at Shinagawa Prince Hotel Hall in Tokyo, Japan.

What I will do if I am crowned Miss International?

She replied - "The whole world saw how my country suffered. One by one, other countries helped. I would like to thank who helped my country in our darkest hours. You have opened my heart and eyes on what we can do to help each other. If I become Miss International, I would uphold international camaraderie. I will work to sustain the spirit of sympathy and spirit of hope. As long as we work together, there is hope. "
