only 3 asians made it to the final 20 semi-finalists at the miss universe competition last night. only 1 made it to the top 10, miss japan. philippine flag-waving fanatics at the auditorium channeled all their energy and focused it on miss japan. she made it far, up to the top 5. in fact, she was as close to the crown as miriam quiambao was in 1999. like miriam, many think that her answer during the q and a did it for her.
in the end, [uerto rico won. bitchy fans behind us said, "ano ba yan, kamukha ni michael jackson'! my friend j was more diplomatic, "kamukha niya si janet jackson..."
oh well. now it's over and done with. i had fun covering the events and getting to know miss philippines lia andrea ramos a bit more personal. it's just too bad she didn't even make it to the top 20.
we stayed for a few minutes after the show at the shrine and we witnessed some stuff. like miss guatemala posing for photos with fans at the car park (with a ginormous truck as a background. nice!) and miss venezuela sobbing like crazy along jefferson blvd., with her luggage and two other people in tow. my friend j called her name, 'jicxtad!' and she waved back. and started crying again.
personal favorites didn't make it. philippines (of course), sri lanka, indonesia & australia. boo-hoo. i don't like the winner. i think other latin american beauties deserve the crown more. japan deserved the crown more. ask the crowd.

Indeed! I couldn't agree more. It was shocking to see Michael Jackson of Puerto Rico winning it. BTW, did you notice Donald Trump looking for his next sex-prentice? LOL!
No, Japan was dumb and not pretty.
Switzerland should've won
my top 2 was actually japan and switzerland but switzerland gave a really blah answer. let's just say that japan also clammed up, the same way miriam quiambao did in 1999 when she herself took the crown from her head and gave it to botswana.
