Superbods Finals!

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

This is the last installment of my Century Superbods weekend.  The final event was held at the Pearl of the Pacific.  Robby Carmona and his team at SAGA did a phenomenal job!  Despite the tremendous amount of rain that showered that evening, the entire production went on with out a single hiccup!  The show was fantastic!  A lot of people can learn a thing or two from watching that show -  it was tight and swift without a dull moment.  I had a a great time judging the contest.  I am certain that everyone had a fabulous time!

 The SUPER FIERCE...Joey Mead hosted the evening!  I just adore this woman!  I have known her for more that 10 years and she just gets more beautiful with each passing year.

 The required question and answer portion.  This normally would make me cringe inside but I was really impressed with most of the contestants as they were smart, witty and really charming. ( Rey Talosig bagged the 2nd runner up prize)

Eye Candy!

Monday, May 4th, 2009

It was one of those times when you go to Boracay when every other person is just really fit and, well, fabulous!  I mean, the hotness level on the island was at boiling point!  LOL!  It was one of those weekends where you just kept your T-shirt on and you kinda regret indulging in the breakfast buffet of your hotel!

This is part 2 of my 3 part entry for my Centruy Tuna Superbods weekend.  On the day of the competition, they had the contestants do a relay marathon of sorts, composed of several mind and body challenges.  This was a key factor, as 25% of the total score was based on this race.

I had a great time with my camera that afternoon, as beautiful creatures would be zipping by my cabana while I was enjoying my cocktail.  Actually looking at this much eye candy is really inspiring, as I cannot wait to get back to Manila and do my own exercise programs!  Even if it was gray and cloudy,  I felt sunny inside! LOL!

This is Van Victor Leano, he was the first to finish the Marathon.

Century Superbods!

Monday, May 4th, 2009

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 its one of these long holiday weekend get away come to the airport earlier!  Anyway...when I got there things got better as John (Mulaly) Avila  was in line with me and this made me smile!  LOL!  On a side note John was the very first winner of the Centruy super body contest in 2006!

 Victor Magsaysay 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.

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 thing that any minute now the whole thing would collapse!

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.

 The weather unfortunately was quite dreary and the sun came out only once.  The grey skies thought could not dampen the joy of being in Paradise.
