It was the first (and am I hoping not the last?) I have truly enjoyed watching a beauty pageant. I am not really a fan, contrary to popular belief, that, here in the Philippines, it is a given that for someone like myself, I may loose limb and arm, but never should I dare miss a Miss Something. LOL. True enough, most of my friends, do somehow get all excited when ever beauty contest is on. It’s similar to how men would be eager for a sports season.
Anyways, I guess, majority of the reason why I got all pumped up was because, I was somehow “directly” involved to this year’s Miss Cagayan de Oro. Never would I have imagined that the contestant I have designed for (her casual) would be the most awarded that night, and bringing home the bacon, to say the least. So a big congratulations to Miss Amadea Lucia Piatti, for being the Miss Cagayan de Oro 2013.
OK, maybe that’s not completely true, I did somehow expect her to win. I mean, she’s probably the nicest person I’ve known- very down-to-earth and positive. Yes, my first impression, I must admit, was intimidating, but only because I have no idea what exactly to expect. But after talking to her for a few seconds, she proved that her more than perfect looks, matched what mattered most, her heart and soul. I wish I could balance things out and maybe point out flaws, but honestly I could not site any.
Yes, I’m sure the other girls were also deserving in their own right for the title. But I bet even the other candidates would agree with me when I say that she was indeed deserving of the crown.
Once again, a big congratulations to you Miss Amadea Lucia Piatti. And thank you so much for wearing my creation. It was such an honor.
