Manhunt International 2010 Kicks Off in Tainan City, Taiwan

       Manhunt International is an international male beauty pageant which began in 1993, though the roots of the pageant go back a few years more to when one single national preliminary was held in Singapore. The pageant is held by Metromedia Singapore and Procon Leisure International.


History
     The Manhunt Contest started in 1987, when Alex Liu, pageant director of Metromedia Singapore, decided to stage the first male model contest in Singapore, as there were numerous pageants for women and none for men. Liu consequently planned and engineered the first Manhunt contest in Singapore.

In 1994, the pageant remained in Australia's Gold Coast when Nikos Papadakis of Greece won. The Manhunt International Event is a joint partnership with our Australian partner, Procon Leisure International Pty Ltd, headed by Mr. Rosko Dickinson.
     The pageant saw one of its most successful years in November 1995 when 35 contestants came to Sentosa Island, Singapore to compete for the prestigious title. The cash award and prizes for 1995's winner alone exceeded $100,000.00.

Beauty Pageants Questions and Suggested Answers

 (This question was asked by television personality Dean Cain to Kosovo's Marigona Dragusha for Miss Universe 2010)


Q: Justin Timberlake once said "The worst thing about being famous is invading your privacy," but what about being famous that people are craving for?


Suggested Answer: Being famous is what most people desires. The things about fame that most people aspire for is that first, is the advantage and opportunity to push through your plans and platforms by championing your causes, the power to influence other people's lives and last the opportunity to empower the powerless, the less privilege, the unfortunate and the low in self-esteem

Beauty Pageants Questions

         Miss Universe, the most prestigious and glamorous beauty pageant on Earth, has been part already of our culture. It is customarily for us to tune in and watch as more than 80 of the most beautiful woman of the planet vie for one chance, one opportunity of a lifetime for that coveted title as the most beautiful woman of the universe. No matter how difficult to choose among them because they are all equally stunning in one way or the other however there is only one winner to be chosen who could deliver the best. After the intense selection of the semifinalist, cut one after another is taking place on the finals night as they compete for categories such as swimsuit and evening gown and the top finishers will go to the next round. On the final round, the most excruciating and nerve wracking part of the competition as well as the most watched part is answering that final question. The final question sometimes tackle different issues affecting the world but sometimes amuses and surprises not only the finalist delegates who are required to answer but also the spectators who are avid fan or beauty watchers. This is the most desirable way of calibrating and choosing the well fated lady who is destined for the crown and title.
         On the other hand, Miss Earth the second most prestigious and glamorous beauty pageant on Earth has a different approach of unraveling the wisdom, opinions and sensibility of the ladies on different timely global environmental issues affecting our mother Earth today. Each of the top eight ladies shall be seeing images or they will be watching video clips of various environmental issues around the world and after that they will respond or give statements to what they have seen or watched. In this case, people will know how aware and skillful they are in resolving these issues because this is the main factor of an effective ambassador of goodwill for the environment.
         However, sometimes the watchers are not satisfied and happy by the ladies response on the question based on its substance, content, delivery and quality of the message which effectively resonate them. So sometimes after the question has been answered by the ladies or after the pageant itself, some beauty lovers, fans and pundits come up with suggested response, advice and opinions on what had transpired. It has become a fun way of dealing with that part of beauty pageant as some fans and pundits are brainstorming on the final question and the outcome of the pageant. As a pageant lover myself, I have created some of the suggested response to some of the Miss Universe and Miss Earth questions and how should the ladies handle such pressure. I will post later and in the future articles, my responses to some of the questions.

Reality Game Show For Television

     I am conceptualizing two reality competition show and a game show for television network interested to create it and show it worldwide. The two reality show has a slight resemblance to The Amazing Race but with a twist. The game show is inspired by a Filipino board game. I know it’s like a needle in the haystack but still I want to try, gamble and see if television companies will buy it. I offer it to any interested television network willing to pay for the concept and I will be collaborating with the television network on such a show.

The Best Bieber Dancer From Lithuania

     I wonder how brilliant this Lithuanian dad to create such dance choreography is. He is really a dynamic choreographer perfectly fit to train hip hop dance crew in North America and Europe. I want to know if he is hired by Hollywood or Las Vegas because he is really a good sexy dancer and I cannot help and my stomach is bursting in laughter. I am one of the million fans of this happy Lithuanian dancing family.

A Holy Letter

True Love - Forever Love

   Hi! It’s Me – Jesus! Oh, please don’t shut the door in my face! Please don’t turn around and walk away. I just want to talk to you but not about your problems or your sins. I don’t want to preach at you or make you feel guilty. I just want to tell you how much I love you.
    You know, I’m not far away, up in the sky, or in some distant place called Heaven. I’m right by your side, and if you’ll ask me to come into your heart, I can even live inside you there. I know all about you. I even know the things that you try to hide from everyone – including yourself.
     I know your heartaches and the pain that you suffer. I know what you worry about. I know your secret dreams and aspirations. I know what has disappointed you in the past, and I know your fears about the future. I know the times that you are jealous or compare yourself negatively with others. I understand how you can’t always be everything you would like to be, and that sometimes do or say things that you later regret.
    At times you wonder if anybody really understands you or truly cares. You wonder if love exists – true, unchanging, unending love. Sometimes you feel so alone, and existence seems so pointless. You ask yourself, “What am I here for? What am I supposed to do? Why am I alive? Is there a God? And if so, where is He? Who is He?”
     I’ve heard all these questions that are in your heart. I’ve felt your struggle. I understand your uncertainty, your heaviness, and your frustration. I know how disappointed you sometimes feel about yourself, wishing you could do better. But even when you try your best, things just don’t always seem to work out as you hope.
    So you look at life’s monotony and ask yourself, “Is this all there is? Isn’t there something deeper? Some reason, some purpose or goal for my life?”
    My dear friend, the answer to these questions and the satisfaction you are looking for will not be found in the world that you see with your eyes. It can only be found in the world of spirit, where love reigns supreme. God, the great Creator, the King of the Universe, is love. He is the invisible Spirit of Love – and to know, receive and share this love is the purpose for living.
    But it’s not something that you can work for or earn by your own goodness, by keeping the rules and trying so hard. This blessing of love – the greatest treasure anyone could ever receive is a gift. It can only be received by faith. You can’t work for it or prove yourself worthy of it.
God loves you so much that he wanted to make it easy for you to understand Him and His love. He   
wanted to give you a picture, an illustration, an example of His love that would help you to see that he and his love are real. His love is not something that can just read about, discuss or debate but it’s something that you can experience in your life. It is power, it is warmth, and it is light and life! God’s love is all those things.
    Because God is so grand, so magnificent, so all encompassing. He knew it would be difficult for you to understand him and his love, and to understand how you could receive it. So he allowed me, Jesus, to be the illustration of his love for you.
    Now I am the connection between you and God. I am the go-between, the mediator, the staircase to Heaven. Through me you can pass from a life of emptiness or disappointment or turmoil and desperation into a life of peace and plenty and love. It’s all yours for the asking. Even the tiniest desire of your heart is important to me, and nothing gives me more pleasure than to take from the riches of heaven and give you what you need to make you happy.
    I love you with a love that is perfect and without end. I don’t look at your imperfections, mistakes and sins, and then get upset and stop loving you. No, I love you in spite of all of these things! I love you for who you really are, and for what you can be.
    I love you as no one else has ever loved you before, and as no one else will. There is nothing you can do that could cause me to turn my back on you. The only thing that could come between you and my love would be your refusal to receive it, for I cannot force it on you.
Open your heart to me, believe in my love, and we will begin the greatest adventure of your life. We will lead a life of love together – not just here and now, but forever!


                                                        With love forever,


                                                                  Jesus

Millenium I Century 1 Decade IX Year 1

When the oppressed hapless innocent left for good
For so long of sufferings at last will be rewarded
happily, prosperous & healthy ever after
Peace of mind of those assholes left behind will be temporary
Wheel of justice will come, signs will show.
a shower of misfortune will happen one after another.


Year 2
When the faint music will stop
An ugly monster will show up from darkness
It will devour the proud and the wicked
Then the monster will dance while laughing horridly


Year 3
The misfits and the crooked held hands together
Whacked and separated by a mysterious entity
Disturbed and psychotic, they will fight ferociously
Until both camps died while the silent people comes out rejoicing




Year 4
It will be the darkest years in history in the island of thousands in the Far East
Nothing will be seen but coldness and hunger
The wicked shall feel the wrath and hurt themselves
Bleak, harm, damage and loss shall be seen everywhere


Year 5
Meek and humble, silent and the oppressed shall see the light
The ignorant and the pervert shall see suffering in years
Blood, injury and disease and any cruel shall only be felt
Bigotry shall treat them and a sword shall pierce hurtful but still alive


Year 6
When the sun the moon conspire,
Fools are deceived and betrayed,
Unwanted and illegitimate, drive away and condemned
Anguish, cries and regrets will not be heard


Year 7
No fool can escape the wrath of the sun
The rest are rejoicing but the jerks are crying
Wealth and abundance been given to those who worth it
Snakes and worm shall be eaten by those who don’t deserve it


Year 8
Looks can be deceiving, so is the trick of the mind
Vulnerable shall be taken victim, nothing is given
The not so clever fools shall take advantage but not for long
Vengeance and karma will come to eat and run after the fools




Year 9
He who shall eat first will be condemned and curse
He who shall be the last will eat in a feast
The banquet is full but only a few can enjoy it
The feast is fun and frolic and a select few have the privilege to see it.


Year 10
The blame should not be taken but will be felt
The hour glass is leaking sand signals omen
It shall be felt horror and terror at the ninth hour

Shivering, scare, phobia and trauma will last a lifetime

Chile Trapped Miners, An Inspiration

      There's a miracle happened to the rescued miners in Chile who trapped underground for 69 days when a landslide took place dragging down massive layer of rocks and sand. Large and modern equipments was used to recover them alive and well due also to their sheer determination and struggle to save all of them from the suffocating tunnel. This is a stark contrast to what happened in St. Bernard, Guinsaogon, Leyte, Philippines when some of the children, teachers and their principals were trapped underground when a landsline took place and the soft soil and stones from a mountain came down covering the whole school and some portion of the village. Some of the teachers and children have been rescued but most of them who are still alive, crying and moaning have been left behind and taken for granted and according to the authorities could not be saved anymore due to the depth of the area where they are trapped and the thickness of the mud thats so hard to remove uncovering them. It shows their negligence, indifference and apathy for the victims. The Chile miner's incident will put the Philippines to shame and will give them their hard lesson to what had transpired. I hope the Philippines should learn from this and take this as a challenge. But the spirit of those people who were not rescued when they should will not be at peace and shall haunt them.

European Tourists Swarmed Iloilo

About 100 European tourists have swarmed Iloilo last Saturday, October 9, 2010 on board MS Hanseatic, a five-star cruise ship from Germany. They visited the city and some historical landmarks in the province and hopefully Alimodian in the future.

This is the second time a cruise ship has visited Iloilo this year. MS Columbus was the first to visit here last March.

Dinagyang Festival 2011 Formal Launching

        The Dinagyang Festival 2011 was formally launched last Monday, October 11, 2010 at Moon Café in Robinson’s Place, Iloilo. Spearheaded by Iloilo City government in partnership with Iloilo Dinagyang Foundation, Inc. (IDFI), and San Jose Parish, a three-time best tourism event in the country, the festival’s formal launching was highlighted by signing the memorandum of agreement of hosting and handling the week long festivities.
        According to the Iloilo Dinagyang Foundation, Inc. (IDFI), it needs 14 million pesos to successfully stage the world famous festival. IDFI president and former Iloilo City councilor Ramon Cua-Locsin said the expenses of the event will be both shared by the city government and the private sector to minimize the cost and highlight their partnership. IDFI will monitor the festivities while the private sector will manage some of the major activities of the event including “Miss Dinagyang beauty pageant” which will be organized and handled by certain group. Additionally, some 4.8 million pesos will be allocated for the subsidy of participating tribes in Ati tribal dance competition and prizes.
       As a sweetener to the participating tribes, Iloilo City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog pledge to give 500,000 pesos worth of projects to the winning community or school in the competition. International companies, groups or individual are very most welcome to contribute, solicit or sponsor the event.
       Next year will also be the last time Kasadyahan will be held under Dinagyang shadow and the weaning stage of Kasadyahan competition will feature cultural performances from different schools and towns most especially with significant festivals of their own which means it’s a competition among schools and various festivals in the province. City Tourism Officer Ben Jimena said they will move the Kasadyahan competition to August in time for Iloilo City Charter Day celebration to mount tourism activities in the middle of the year which is considered an off-peak season in the city. Unlike the Dinagyang which focuses on the lives of Ati (indigenous people of Iloilo and Panay) through dance, the Kasadyahan (merrymaking) features Iloilo’s tradition, culture and the arts.
       The 2011 festival will focus on environment-friendly practices such as recycling and waste management. Dinagyang Festival is a religious-cultural event which focused on the aboriginal tribes in Iloilo and Panay (the great ancestors of Iloilo) who converted to Christianity from animism. The event of honoring the Holy Child Jesus started in 1966 but the Ati tribe competition started in 1969 with Madjapahit Tribe of Compania Maritima as the first winner. Since then, the festival has evolved in dance forms, choreography, costume among others and the number of tourists and visitors has increased and it became world renowned ever since. The festival is held every 4th Sunday of January and next year it will happen on January 23, 2011.

Three boys go and away in fields.
One look farther saw a terrorists and the terrorist look back.
Each of the boys run as fast as they can and being chased by the terrorists one boy
being hit by a stone thrown by a terrorist but run still.
The battle and chasing of good versus evil begins.
The terrorist seems big in a motorcycle and the cop is as big in a motorcycle.
Chasing here and there for a long time then when it caught it became a little child.


Year 2
Women clad in bikinis and daring suits leads the trend.
Guys in heat and others in guilt.
Swimming there is the theme they watch on tape.


Year 3
Time when there is equality.
White and black together seems nice and sweet.
Unity and cooperation is indeed a goal attained.




Year 4
In the scourge for the wicked,
Cries and moan you shall hear throughout the land
Few are spared but many are harmed
It will last double a quarter century plus four


Year 5
Time has come to pierce your heart
Anguish, cries and regrets will be heard
Jerks, and the mentally ill fight each other
Fools laughing and suffer more


Year 6
The previous popular leader trusted by people
Shall be followed by a righteous strong willed man of character
His past was shaped and sharpened by his skills in ruling his ever prosperous, busy bustling city
Shall bring good and felt by everybody


Year 7
When someone is starving the rest will
Savage beast against a savage beast
Chaos and turmoil will rule the land
Death will come if sufferings is already long enough and done


Year 8
When the right becomes bending the truth
and the wrong becomes the way of life
Evil which is lurking behind will take advantage, will devour them
So many are trapped and will be in limbo
Insanity, despair and self –conflagration will be in effect




Year 9
The jerks, perverts and assholes has ruled over for years,
But comes the learned and open-minded will challenge them
Meek and shameful they’ll suffer so much
A lifetime of suffering and death will take its toll on all of the crooked.


Year 10
In all its grandeur, the ones who like to act and people who like the mask will be unmasked
Just like the wheel of fortune, it would turn and stand still
Shame and misery of a lifetime for once proud, affluent and prosperous oppressed, kind, learned
and open-minded lower and middle class and indigents
Justice has been really felt for the first time
