I just came back from Boracay for the Century Tuna Superbods competition. They asked me to be a judge this year and I could not say no! LOL! They had all the components of a fantastic weekend: the beach, the sun and 20 of the most beautiful human beings for me to peruse?! This was something that I was really looking forward to.
I will be posting 2 more entries on the events, as my photos are super exciting! Think eye candy for the soul! They had a really good batch of contestants this year. I heard they really combed through more than our 7,000 islands to come up with the finalists. In the meantime, this is how our day one turned out! Enjoy!
I got a call from Nix that I better come early to the airport as Terminal 3 was CRAZY! That being the Labor Day weekend and all that, everyone wanted to get out of town. In fact, Nix missed his flight even if he was more than an hour and a half early in the airport! It was really frustrating, but make this a lesson for everyone: if it's one of these long holiday weekend getaways, come to the airport earlier! Anyway...when I got there, things got better as Jon (Mullaly) Avila was in line with me, and this made me smile! LOL! On a side note, Jon was the very first winner of the Centruy Superbods contest in 2006!
Victor Basa was also in the same flight with me. We even sat together. He is really nice and smart. We talked about how he was ordained as a priest on TV and how this special that experience was.
I spotted our Miss Universe Gloria Diaz, who is also judging the contest, with her nephew and her equally gorgeous daughter Isabel!
Style Samurai spotting! Daryl Chang! Love this girl's style!
We stayed at the Pearl of the Pacific! We took the most scary elevator up to my super far room! This elevator was almost like a Fear Factor challenge, as it felt so unstable that my mind would, like, think that any minute now, the whole thing would collapse!
This was my room! It was nothing great, but as least the aircon was cold and they had hot water! I just wish that the management of this hotel would, like, take care of the facilities more. It was my first time to stay at the Pearl of the Pacific and I am afraid that it might be my last. I really try to find the positive in everything, but this hotel was really a challenge. I just want to say that Pearl of the Pacific, overall, NEEDS IMPROVEMENT!
If I did not want to take the scary elevator up to my room (which I would have to wait for like 10 minutes to take, as we had to look for "ONE" elevator operator man to bring us up or down), I would have to walk half a mountain. Although I really did not mind this so much, as the walk was good for me and the path was pretty.
The path was lined with beautiful plants and the morning mist created this lovely image.
I adore Miss Gloria Diaz! I bump into her every now and then, and she just has the most magical personality! Attention, ladies and gents, this is how we all must age! With the utmost grace! She is GORGEOUS!!!!
The weather, unfortunately, was quite dreary and the sun came out only once, but the gray skies could not dampen the joy of being in Paradise.
Isabel Daza was sand surfing that day and she obliged me with a photo! Thanks sweets! FYI...She is now the image model of Century Tuna. PERFECT CHOICE!
The shoreline of Boracay has now been tuned into a virtual billboard of boats. What is your take on this?
The director of the event: my friend Robby Carmona!
Bride and groom to be Ian King and Joey Mead!
One of the best photographers in the country! Jun De Leon with his son Ija. Jun was also a judge for the competition.
I love the colors of summer. Nix with the ladies! Joey and Phoemela!
HUGS!
RAJO!
