pretentious prestige

Well, I am not much into TV right now... specially that I hate that TV station claiming to broadcast live when really they tend to broadcast delayed telecast... like really, with all the new technology right now... like com'on... so, I turned much to the internet...  

I watched the London Olympic Games Opening Ceremony live via online streaming...  last year I also viewed the 3 international beauty pageant online: Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss International... 

I was to view Miss World 2012 also online last night... but that didn't work out... so much buffering... not sure if it was my connection or problem with the feed but nonetheless... Miss China won in China...

Not unusual... it happened before... specially in the Miss World Beauty Pageant... last being... well, China winning in China in 2007...

Hahahahahahahahahaha...

It happened before, the host country winning... It happened at the Miss Universe Pageant... The Miss Earth Pageant... not sure about Miss International... no Japanese have won the title yet...

And why not, if the host country's girl is deserving... if you argue otherwise, if the host country should not win ... then why allow the host country to have a representative...? like really what would be the point if she is not to win...?

Problem with Miss World is that, at least in the recent editions, we don't know what is going on... yes, they do have this leader board, with scores on it... constantly updating... but we never really know where are the scores coming from, what they are based on... like really... that it looked pretentious... when really, we just need to look at it this way... sure, they may have a number of judges but really there is just one person who decides who will win... Julia Morley, the owner and CEO of Miss World... even if the 10 or so judges think the other girl should wear the crown, if Julia Morley thinks otherwise, Julia over rules...

Ironically, it what makes the Miss World more prestigious... you are chosen my a self proclaim god, who will not be swayed by other people's opinion but her own...

Still in so much pain... sciatic nerve, kumalma ka na! Please...

Resignation at work is on the table, don't want to reach for it... but, I am left with not much choice...
