We were in Guangzhou, China during the 2008 Ms. Earth Pageant Coronation took place. at Clark Pampanga. The Ricky Reyes chain of salons are the official make-up artist for the prestigious international beauty pageant with a cause which is hosted by our country. So, mother Ricky invited the winners of Ms. Earth 2008 for an intimate dinner at his famous house. Me and my mom was also surprised when he invited us. His words were Evelyn, kelan kayo uwi ng Davao? then my mom replied, sa 19th pa mother then he said: papasundo ko kayo sa 17th dinner tayo sa bahay with Ms. Earth winners picture taking tayo OK? As i heard him saying that i got super excited.
We arrived at his house at 7:00 pm because the traffic was worst for the holiday rush and all. It was not my first time to go to mother Ricky's house, we spent one New Year's Eve there back when i was 13 years old. Minutes after we arrived the Ms. Earth beauties arrived. Mother Ricky introduced us to them and i thought to myself my GOSH they are all so pretty and Ms. Mexico is so tall. I got intimidated at first (sino ba naman hindi ma insecure noh?) but when they started talking to me i was surprised because they were all so kind and accommodating. They started sharing their unforgetable experiences here in our country. Ms. Brazil shared a filipino word she learned from the make-up artist staff of mother and it was "bongang bonga" and "magaling magaling." We all burst into laughter when she said that in the dinning table. Ms. Tanzania eventhough she was black she was very pretty i almost mistaken her for a "bratz" doll. And Ms Earth was very friendly and talkative.
After dinner we did not waste another minute, we went straight to the enormous and ever famous christmas tree of mother for our picture taking. A once in a life time experience. :)
