Major Major!...... Major Disaster on Venus Raj's Answer

I was not able to watch the live streaming of Ms. Universe 2010 since I was at work but I have my prayers and is rooting for our bet Ms. Venus Raj. She seems to be a very confident and talented lady...... not until she answered the final question and answer portion for the Top 5 candidates.

Here’s the question: What is the one biggest mistake that you have made in your life and what did you do to make it right?

And here’s her answer:

“You know what, sir, in my 22 years of existence I can say that there’s nothing major, major problem that I’ve done in my life because I’m very confident with my family with the love that they are giving to me. So thank you so much that I’m here. Thank you, thank you so much!”

Watch mo... ng maloka ka....  

Anyhooo.... I am so major major proud of her!  ^_^  Philippines 4th placer in the Ms. Universe Pageant!. Congrats Ms. Venu Raj!  The last time Philippines won a major award in the Ms. Universe Pageant was 1999 with Ms. Mirriam Quiambao as 1st placer for Ms. Botswana. In fairness, Venus Raj only shows that she has a positive outlook in life that whatever problem or mistake she went through, she never considered it as a hindrance.

I would be nervous too if I had to answer that same question..... but I would like to share the answer from a friend in FB....

Here is what he would answer if he we’re in Venus Raj’s position…..

” I am a human being, it’s normal to make mistakes.Every time we stumble and fall, its an opportunity to stand up and fight. I don’t really believe in major mistakes instead I advocate major learnings which made the person that I am today…” – John M.

Kabog!

Here are the Top 5 constestants Q&A:

Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete: What effect is unsupervised Internet use having on today's youth? Through an interpreter, she says the Internet is an "indispensable, necessary tool" and we have to make sure kids are using it according to family values.


Miss Australia Jesinta Campbell: What role should the government play in regulating potentially offensive clothing? "One of the greatest things we have is the freedom of choice...I don't think the government should have any say in what we wear."

Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillipps: Is the death penalty acceptable and why? "I believe that life is a gift...I believe that none of us as humans have the right to take a life."

Miss Ukraine Anna Poslavska: How do you feel about full-body scanners in airports? Through an interpreter, she says, "I think it's a very important question of security...if that helps us to save the lives of people, then I'm for it."

Miss Philippines Venus Raj: What is one big mistake you've made and what did you do to make it right? She says she hasn't made any major mistakes, then gives a shout-out to her family. "Thank you so much that I am here."

OK, that was the worst answer of the bunch.

Here is the translation of Ms. Venus Raj's answer into Bekimon language:

"Sa wadey-wadey kez pagkashoo ditey sa earthlaloo, waley namang BONGGANG BONGGANG nyoblem sa buhayla kez. Kasi confing-confi si watashi sa nyomily rubbing alcohol kez at mahalia jones nila si watashi! Tenkyubells tenkyubells at nanditey akez!"
aylavit!!! *tumbling* ^_^
