Miss Scotland, Venezuala, Usa, Brazil and myself were chosen to be on Home radio for a little talk the other week which I forgot to write about! Here are some pics below:
We arrived yesterday at Hannah beach resort where we will be staying for 2 nights. Yesterday we had a competition show here where we had to wear bikini, cocktail dresses and have an interview on stage, and I’m so happy to say that I won together with Miss Venezuela 🙂 I received 10.000 pesos cash and flowers as well as a sash 🙂
This is what we have been doing today, all the Misses were driving around in these fun scooters

I was chosen as one of the girls to read a section of the Christmas story in Enchanted Kingdom amusement park, and meanwhile I was reading they played out a show. It reminded me of back home when I saw all the Christmas decorations, they even had fake snow! We also had the talent competition that evening, I was really impressed by some of the girls like Bahamas had the most amazing voice.

One of the charities we got honored to be involved in here in Philippines is A Litre of Light foundation, which is a sustainable light project that aims to bring an eco friendly solar bottle bulb to low income communities all over Philippines and other countries. The Solar Bottle bulb is a low cost device made from PET soda bottles and a solution of water and chlorine. When the sun shines outside the bottles light up peoples homes who can otherwise not afford to have electricity so they have to live in the dark. Its amazing because its almost just as powerful as a electric light bulb yet its only made from PET bottles, water and chlorine! We had the chance to produce these light bottles in their work shop and later go to the poor communities within Manila and see how they work in peoples homes.
Made the first solar bottle bulb, I finished first in my group!

A few days ago we left the hotel we were staying at in Manila and went to a resort called The Golden Sunset where we had our bikini competition. We started the show with an “wildlife” inspired opening dance. It was fun but unfortunately we had only 30min to practice the choreography so there were a few mistakes once the show started… I was chatting to the girls backstage and getting ready when all the sudden we all had to go on stage and I was still wearing my flip flops when everyone else were wearing their high heel sponsor shoes as you can see I’m a bit shorter than everyone else!
