Filipinos Reign High Among Beauty Competitions

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Almost every girl dreamed to be a beauty queen someday. Girls were likely done everything just to achieve a pretty but simple look. ‘Beauty queen’ is not just having a pretty face it includes traits, talents and intelligence. If you possessed all of that, you’re worthy to be called a ‘beauty queen.’

Last August 18, 2013, the Miss World coronation night was held at Indonesia. There are 127 contestants who competed for the said title. And proudly to say, Miss Philippines, Megan Young got the crown last. This is the first time, our country Philippines got the title since 1951.

During the preliminaries, she gave her best to win some awards; she won the ‘Top Model’ award, placed fourth in the ‘Multimedia Contest’ and fifth in the ‘Beach Beauty’ contest. She also received the title, ‘Miss World Asia’ the highest rank among Asian countries.

As the new Miss World, she has to travel around the world to visit and have a charity work there.

United in Laughter: Breaking the Highly Miscontrued Stand-Up Comedy Barrier

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Cinema 5 of Greenbelt 3 was a venue to a stand-up comedy revolution.

Indeed, with an almost full house, United in Laughter was undoubtedly phenomenal. Though the cinema is just a 200 seating capacity, it is quite incredible that Comedy Manila, the organizers of the event, were able to attract quite a number of guests that were close to a standing room.

I thought I was not able to get a seat because I came in late, but I was glad there were a few seats left somewhere at the 4th row. The amazing thing was that most of the people inside the cinema were young lads not above 30. It seems the youth has finally gained an interest to this brand of comedy that seems to catch the attention more of our older generation.

With six comedians sharing the spotlight (literally), I have to admit it was supposed to be kinda easy. The variety will not bore the audience. Instead of listening to just one comic in an hour of humorous stories, the audience were treated with six witty personalities of different nationalities.
