Hi myLotters! I seem so lousy this week. Couldn't think right! Well, I was shocked when our barangay captain called me. I was kinda nervous, I thought I did something bad that cause them to call me. But I even get more shocked when they asked me a favor. They want me to participate in a beauty pageant!!!!! My goodness! I never imagined myself being in a beauty pageant. I even didn't expect I get into modelling though, but I did. I never thought I have the qualities to be in a pageant! As all of you know, I am a quite and shy type and I don't know how am gonna do it. Facing lots of people in the auditorium? My God! Oh, I said YES to our captain and I kinda regret it. Still need lots of confidence though!

Haha,I am so glad you said yes to their proposal bunso,this is a way to boost your self confidence. How I wish I am there to watch you,please do take pictures okay, so you can show it to us. I remember one time during my high school days that a make-up artist gave me a proposal that she wants me to be her model in their big even competition where she is going to apply some make-ups on my face and dress me up like a model,she liked my face 'cause she said the shape of my face is an ideal model for make-ups since I have high cheekbones,that's the only time that I knew I have high cheekbones,haha! But since I'm too shy to join,I rejected her offer and I regreted it after a week 'cause that could have been a great experience of my being a pretty woman on stage,lol! Just be yoursel my bunso,I'm sure you can make it! Make a littele prayer before going up to the stage,it's really a big help to take away your nervousness.

Waaaaa,you're just making "bola" to me bunso,haha! Bunso,they will not get you if they think you don't have the qualities of being a contestant in that beauty pegeant,listen to what others are saying about you,sometimes we don't realize our good qualities or we are just being blinded of what we believe that turns out to be not true. Believe in yourself bunso 'cause they believe in you,give the best out of it,show them that they are not wrong of choosing you. Go for it bunso!

Nay, I'm not making any "bola" here. What I've said is true! You still got the looks! :) The complexion of your skin is so gorgeous! Can I have it? I just can't still imagine they choose me compare to the ladies who are much more better than me.. I'm still thankful anyway!

Oh nay! Until now you still have the looks. Your face is one of your great assets! I don't have the qualities, I am sure with it and that's why I wonder why they choose me.

I would suggest go take a class that will help with all that nervousness. I took it and I past it. I still have to take more classes but I am getting better. It helps a lot and I recommend that class to anyone who is a shy and quiet person. I can tell the only reason why we are quiet and shy is because of nervousness. But other than that, don't think to negative, it'll be okay. I had to take the class for my data entry if I ever wanted to become a office assistant/staff/clerk.

Of course they are serious, nobody jokes about such serious matters especially when barangay officials are concerned. I have always looked up to them and have lots of respect to our officials back home in my town. And you should be flattered, honored and you have the right to blush if you want to cause they (top officials of your barangay and other people behind it) trusted you with something so precious to your place and that is to represent your community to a beauty pageant. They will not asked you in the first place if they find you ugly inside out, so you must have done something good and you most definitely look good for you to gain such an awesome approval from everybody. With all of these you must not doubt yourself. You can do it. They know you can, so you believe in it. You must convince yourself that you can for you to show other people that you are deserving of the crown. As the cliche' goes, practice makes perfect. Build that confidence and you'll be alright and you;ll do good in the pageant. God bless to you girl. Rock it, okay. No regrets!

Barangay Captain? What is that? just kidding. I know he's the head of the baarangay. You're very fortunate to be able have an opportunity like that. You might be the next Shamcey Supsup or Venus Raj. Trust yourself and remove these things from your mind-setting: 1. Fear of Failure 2. Fear or Rejection As early as now, I would like to congratulate you for winning the beauty pageant. Good luck!

the fact that your barangay captain called you to tell you to join their beauty pageant is enough to believe you got what it takes to be a beauty queen. many aspire to be given the chance but fail and here you are,shy and quite with less self confidence, chosen to participate in the beauty contest is something amazing. Who knows that barangay captain of your has the eyes for a beauty queen? Another chance in Miss Universe!
