Binibining binubuni ang brain

jam blogged about this in her multiply account the minute we watched it on TV. e bakit naman hindi. kablogblog tlga sha. at you tube material nga ang video na ito. kahit nga ako na mejo nanahimik ng matagal na panahon sa blog na ito biglang ginanahan sa pagsulat. hasus... nahulog ako sa kinauupuan ko at humagalpak kami ng kakatawa. WTF!!! kahit siguro santo mapapamura. bkt nmn kc hindi mo nlng tinagalog. paolo was even suggesting that she answer in Tagalog. wala nmng rule na kailangan ingles e. i'm sure vivienne tan wouldn't mind kc feeling ko naman nakakaintindi sha ng tagalog ano. Mala TSE pa nmn ang pagkakasagot nya sa question ni paolo about pressure saying "No, I don't feel any pressure right now."... gusto ko tuloy bigyan ng pressure sa leeg e... hehe (sa TSE kc dapat complete sentence ang isasagot mo para complete yung thought. so dapat may subject at predicate.. hehe.) mejo i was already expecting a similar response when the real question was asked. and in her case, tipong something like this:

Vivienne Tan: The question is what role did your family play to you as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas?".
Janina San Miguel: The role my family played to me as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas is important. I thank you.

mas malala kung ganito

Vivienne Tan: The question is what role did your family play to you as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas?".
Janina San Miguel: The role my family played to me as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas. I thank you.

at shempre hindi nya ako binigo and she even surpassed my expectations. hehe. i'm sure rehearsed ang lahat ng alam nyang isagot sa Q&A. templated na... kaya lng walang tanong na ganun dun sa book na nabasa nya about beauty queens. "How to join a beauty contest and win for dummies!" siguro meron dun "Who is the most important person in your life?" kya un ang gusto nyang ipasok na sagot... nagkamali lng nmn sha ng intro e... "They was.... " (tapos ninerbyos na sha kc nagisip na sha kung ang family ba ay plural o singular... ) in fairness to her, i guess she delved deep into sentence construction rather than the thought kaya ayun... after much deliberation ng mga nerve cells nya, minabuti nlng nyang sabihin ang isang complete sentence na may word na family na naalala nya mula sa sandamakmak na kinabisado nyang answers to possible questions. hay!@. i hope in her stint at Ms. World, magpakatotoo nlng at magtagalog. magdala nlng ng interpreter. keri na.

actually all of the candidates' answers were quite disappointing.. walang wow factor... walang pinagisipan.. puro templated answers... and more disappointing are the judges who are so forgiving as to dismiss the fact that Ms. World cannot even answer a simple question. Probably the judges were just following criteria set by BPCI with less emphasis on intelligence. so i guess if we want brainy ones to win, we would have to tell Ms. Araneta to have INTELLIGENCE as their priority criterion!

(nagalingan pala ako dun sa sagot ni elizabeth nacuspag #18 in describing the perfect family and why that question (of all questions) was even asked to her is beyond me. it was so coincidental. teary eyed, she explained that she comes from a broken family but viewed hers as perfect because they try to see each other as often as they can and share love in the best way they can.) (parang napakaganda ng disposition nya sa buhay that even in the midst of adversity, she tries to see it positively).

pro as i've said... nakarecover na ako... i've let bygones be bygones. i'm glad i was able to watch din kc at least we had a good laugh at na-aerate din ang lungs ko... i've forgiven the judges and the organizers. i've forgiven the candidates and their inadequacies. After all, it is a BEAUTY pageant.
