Pageant

Two weeks ago, my boss asked me to fetch the new engineer at the airport. I decided to bring my camera, but this time with my 50mm lens. Its more handy and user friendly. Anyway, while waiting for my officemate, I saw a lady wearing a ‘Philippines’ sash. I thought, maybe she is one of the candidates of an upcoming beauty contest.

At first, I tried taking photos of her but to no success as I have a limited range. I decided to approach her after some kababayan’s flocked around her for a photograph or two. I asked if I can take a photo of hers. Well, I told her that I’ll be blogging about her. She gladly obliged. I asked her name, she said she is Patricia Fernandez, our country’s representative this coming Ms. International Pageant on Nov. 8 in Macau.

She was accommodating. I thought that the contest will be held here in Japan but she said the organizers considered Macau for a change but they will have an event here before heading to the host country. While talking to Patricia, Ms. Colombia arrived. Thinking that I am already there, I shyly requested Patricia to call Ms. Colombia for some shots. Glad they weren’t scared of me. Haha!

At the arrival area, I saw my officemate’s neck stretched all the way to the ceilings looking for me. Another candidate arrived but I have to go back home immediately or else we will be missing the train.

Good Luck to Ms. Philippines Patricia Fernandez and also to Ms. Colombia.
