Just one of those days when you catch your reflection and think, "Why not?" Snapping a quick selfie, because sometimes, the best moments are the ones you didn't plan.

It's not about vanity, it's about capturing life as it happens, in all its unfiltered glory. Because every day is a day to celebrate yourself, and I'm all for making the most of it.

And let's not forget, it's these little moments that make up the big picture. Each snapshot, a story, a memory, a part of this journey we call life. So here's to more moments, more memories, and more selfies!

One think I like Tagalog is that a lot of gender neutral. Words like he/she (siya), husband/ wife (asawa), jowa (boyfriend/girlfriend) and many more can be used for anyone. Despite some confusion in the past, even “Filipino” is completely inclusive and doesn’t have masculine/feminine connotation. The only exceptions I can think of at the top of my head is “ate” and “kuya”.

I think that it’s really cool how you can use Tagalog words when talking about anyone and there’s a very very small chance of misgendering them.

Filipinas’ “Never give-up” Spirit

“No matter how many times you fail, fall, or flop, stand up because chances are given to those who strive harder in order to achieve something.”

On December 20, 2015, a controversial win of a Filipina ended the Philippines’ drought to win the title, Miss Universe. After Steve Harvey mistakenly announced the winner, which he cleared later on. Missosologists were shocked and disappointed with the outcome; 1) Colombia didn’t deserve that humiliation, 2) Philippines should have had her ‘crowning’ moment. But Harvey apologized and said he’ll take account into what happened that night. No one’s perfect because everyone commits mistakes, and we just need to deal with it, learn from it, and move-on.

It took 42 years when the coveted crown came back to one of the Asia’s powerhouse when we talk about pageants. It all started with Venus Raj’s 4th runner-up finish in 2010, succeeded by Shamcey Supsup’s 3rd RU finish (2011), Janine Tugonon’s 1st RU (2012), Ariella Arida’s 3rd RU (2013), and MJ Lastimosa’s top 10 finish. It was a tough journey for Philippines since we annually send high-caliber delegates and finally sending a 3-time joiner of the national pageant, Binibining Pilipinas, that eventually won the million-dollar crown. But do you know what these ladies have in common? They at least joined several national pageants to try their luck, hone their capabilities, and reach their dreams no matter how many times they fail.

A back-to-back win didn’t happen as Maxine Medina only finished as one of the top 6 finalists in 2016 and succeeded by Rachel Peters’ top 10 finish in 2017. But another lady chased her dream and proved everyone that failure would never be a hindrance in pursuing what your heart truly desires.

December 18, 2016, Catriona Magnayon Gray was an early favorite to win the blue crown, giving the Philippines its 2nd crown for Miss World after Meagan Young’s win on 2013. Everyone expected Gray’s win since she was considered as the delegate who got it all. Beauty, wit, and personality, those were evident on her. But fate didn’t allow that to happen, to win the blue crown, because on December 17, 2018, the Mikimoto crown was destined for her to wear it in Bangkok, Thailand. She bested 93 diverse gorgeous ladies, and also proved that you can be a queen regardless of your height, weight, complexion, beauty, race, and even how many times you joined a pageant just to fight for your advocacy and purpose in life.

These misfortunes of the respective queens didn’t hinder their goals in life; to succeed. These are only few names to mention but there are a lot of Filipinas who are resilient and fighters in their lives, not only in beauty pageants, but also in their battle in day to day living. What does this imply? DO NOT GIVE UP. As long as you have the chance and opportunity to be better, grab it. Not all are given the chance to prove themselves for the second time around. Remember, “Failure is the only opportunity to begin more intelligently.”

This happened in SoDo, Seattle’s business district last night… I’m amazed at the possibilities unleashed and in awe at the power of collaboration in community! In a very short window, my Ading Seychelle’s vibe attracted her tribe among Seattle’s passionate Fil-Am people, deeply rooted in customs and traditions passed from one generation to the next. The Pinoys and Pinay leaders and dignitaries who promote and preserve our culture and help to encourage and elevate entrepreneurship showed up big last night to support Silviyana Weddings grand entrance into the local fashion scene with her vegan, eco-bridal brand. 🍍I say to you Ading…Salût To The Rise Of The Piña! 🥂 🍍Hail to the Queen of Fabrics! 🍍Rise Queen Piña…Soar In Your Philippine Majesty! The entrepreneurial vision is a powerful statement and testament to the strength born out of a deep desire to BECOME… ✨more than the status quo! ✨more than self-imposed limits! ✨more than what others tell you about what you’re capable of! ✨more for the betterment of the humanity and the planet! ✨more so that other can dream bigger! I’m honored to be your first eco-bridal client in Seattle and excited for what’s to come from our combined #PinayPower and the #MissSilviyana competition! Thank you for the opportunity to elevate your vision, empower women, and to serve our community! #silviyanaweddings #ecobridalbrand #youareaforceofnature #filamweddings #weddinggowns #vegan #ecofriendly #seychellewilmouth #seattlebride #seattleweddings #pnwbride #stewardshipaward #community #leadership (at Saltbox) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXQAgoPLWK5/?utm_medium=tumblr
