I regret scheduling the monthly insecticide spraying at home (Tuesday is our usual schedule at 9am then we have to leave the house for at least 2hours). It meant we would be missing the live telecast of Miss Universe 2011. And missed it we did. We were on the road when I read tweets that our contender, Ms, Philippines Shamcey Supsup got into the top 16 based on her own merits (versus Filipinos worldwide turned her into an online favorite, Portugal (?) got in because people got her included). Then a few minutes after, another set of tweets saying she got into the top 10. We were nearly at the school when my brother who was in his OJT post texted and said Shamcey got into the top 5. Wow.
We wanted so badly to get to the school right away so we could at least watch the announcement. So glad we got there on time, enough time really for me to find the live streaming link.
It is kinda disappointing that our candidate only got the 3rd runner up title. After the Q&A which got mixed reactions, everybody thought she’d grab the 1st runner up after Ms Angola. But I guess the judges saw Shamcey differently.
Third runner up isn’t bad at all, she still brought the country glory. Shamcey said it wisely “"I think that what makes a winner, is not just winning the crown but being able to accept that hindi ikaw yung nanalo. (I think that what makes a winner, is not just winning the crown but being able to accept that it wasn’t you who won). I guess we all need to move-on also and hope that next year will be a better one.
