Just came home from a afternoon trip to Clark. We went there to watch the coronation of Ms. Earth 2008. My friends got some free tickets for their company was the one who provided the trophies for the said event.
I was expecting many things from the said event because as written over the ticket that the said event requires a formal attire. Well sometimes I'm one of the hard-headed ones and I went there wearing a long sleeves polo and jeans. In a way its kinda presentable, don't you think. I was surprised that the long sleeves of my youngest brother fit me for its size is "SMALL" and I normally wear polo that is "LARGE" in size. Must be my diet is working wonders for me.. Hehe!
Anyway, like I've said that I'm expecting much from the said event. But when we got there, the venue (Clark Expo) was not an enclosed auditorium. More of an open arena with tent covers. There was no ushers on the main entrance. Probably there were some on the VIP gate. The place was generally okay but I was expecting the event to be held in a high-class auditorium. Seats were on a first come, first serve basis. Good thing that we were still able to get some seats on the third row from the stage so we still have some nice view of the candidates and the whole event. Some of the audiences are grade school students from a nearby school I think and some adults wore only polo and t-shirt. But there were also some who came in a formal attire so we did not look overdressed. Hehe!
After the event, we had a chance to have our picture taken with the 2008 Ms. Earth winner. Well guess who's the winner..? Ms. Philippines came out to be the winner in this year's pageant. I'm not really a fan of pageants but out of the 4 finalist, only Karla gave out the best answer so I guess she deserves to win the event.
