Your Opinion on Janine

Which areas does Janine Tugunon need to improve the most at, so she can nab a top 5 finish at the Miss Universe pageant this year?

I say there are 5 major components of a modern queen, which are basically prerequisites for a good placement at any pageant.

1. Body
2.  Presentation
3. Personality
4. Wit
5. Packaging

Body

We conquered 2010 with Venus’ 22 inch waistline, and 2011 with Shamcey’s super toned  + healthy looking body. Does Janine have either or both? Can she still catch up with the Bodines and the Irene’s who have fabulous bodies?

Presentation

Shamcey’s tsunami, Dayana Mendoza’s twirls, Riyo’s wings, Miriam’s elegance, J. Hawking’s stomp – evidence that a good catwalk would bring you miles ahead of the competition. Does Janine’s pseudo-tsunami walk good enough? Do you think she has what it takes to glide her way to the crown?

Does Janine have Ximena’s easy-breezy poses (giggles in-tow)? Can she charm her way to Leila’s throne?

Personality

We all know that the organizers have a say as to who gets in the top 15 or 20. The so-called trump cards depend on politics. Not being replaced by the trump cards depends on a girl’s relationship with the organizers. Rumors swirled around the exclusion of Vivian Ortiz. The short lived run of Vanessa Goncsalvez too was rumored due to her bitchy personality.

Does Janine have an easy-to-get-along-with personality that won’t antagonize the other girls and the organizers? Does she project a positive persona on pictures and videos? Can Janine do a “Jesinta” and land on the top 5 with a congeniality award under her arms?

Wit

The preliminary interview is so important. Apparently, that was where most of our queens who didn’t penetrate the semis failed at.

Wit isn’t about being Magna Cum Laude, because that obviously didn’t help Licaros. Wit is about being sharp. It entails knowing HOW to answer rather than WHAT to answer. Take Venus and Shamcey’s interviews. They weren’t as smart as the other girls, but they were confident and straight. Their answers were unforgettable.

Does Janine have wit that can help her penetrate the semis and give her an edge at the last round?

Packaging

Hair, make-up, aura.

Does Janine need to change up from Pinay Sweetie to Diva, or add some fierceness to her arsenal?

Sho0uld her hair go straight or curly with bounce?

If you think Janine is safe in all of the facets, then go ahead and let your voice be heard over at the comment section.

If you think there is one or more areas she needs to work on, then tell me. I will take all opinions and make a composite review of Janine after. Also, check out my get-go analysis of Janine here.

Zac Efron + Penshoppe?

Yes. You read it right. Zac Efron and Penshoppe has come to a partnership that will definitely sweep the Asian fashion world.

According to this yahoo article, Zac has never endorsed anything in his career. So this ALL PINOY brand, will be a first. Awesome!

So how excited are we? VERY!

He will definitely rekindle the Philippine fashion scene and put us back on top amongst our asian cousins. With his sure blockbuster hit the Lucky One, ZAc will definitely propell the brand to greater heights.

So what about Penshoppe?

I personally don't wear a lot of Penshoppe. But i've always used Penshoppe bags, accessories and even cosmetics (i.e. their CLAY DOH is awesomenesss!!)

So keep tuned for more updates. :)

PS

More picutres!!!!

Old School Zac!

Kangitngit

*** Kangitngit is Bisaya for darkness, but in this complex dialect it takes on various definitions with such vivid applications as to imagery. This poem of mine which is  a silly attempt at literature seeks to showcase the power of the word and the intricacies of the Bisaya language.

Samtang ginasubay nako kining dalan

Dalan nga ngitngit, dalan nga bala-an

Akong ginapangandoy nga magkita na ta

Maskin lang man sa kangitngit atong kalag mag-abot na

Sa kangingit gikawat akong pahiyom

Sa ngalan sa sapi,sa diyot, sa ilimnon

Ug sa mabugnawong kilid ako gipasagdan

Kangitngit, kahadlok, akong nasudlan

Ug ikaw gahulat sa eskina sa may mangga

Para kanako, nga abi nimo muabot pa

Ug karon akong subayon kining dalana

Padulong kanimo, maskin dili man ta magkita

Dawata akong gugma, kasing-kasing og pagkatawo

Sa kangitngit man lang pasaylo-a ko intawon

Samtang akong pagasubayn kining dalana

Hinaot atong kasingksaing mag-abot na.

TRANSLATION:

As I follow this road,

This dark and holy road,

I yearn that we finally meet.

Even in this nothingness our souls would finally meet.

My smile was stolen in the darkness.

In the name of money, of having, of liquor.

And in that cold damp corner I was left to wait.

Death, fear was what I have entered.

And you wait there at the curb, by the mango tree,

For me, whom you thought was still coming.

And now, I follow this path

To you, even though we shall never meet.

Receive my love, my heart, my soul.

Even just in the end, forgive me please.

While I follow this path,

I hope that our hearts finally meet.
