Nov 7. – Cocktail party for Ms Earth 2007 delegates last Nov 6, 8-12mn at Gran Caffe Casanova Ristorante Italiano
We hosted around 60 Ms Earth 2007 delegates at the Gran Caffe Casanova Ristorante Italiano last night. As usual, I had a glass of wine in my hand the whole night starting at 7:00pm… the time my good friend Ernie arrived. There were so many beautiful ladies! And that’s an understatement ;) I’ve never been in a venue with that many beautiful ladies representing their own countries for their beauty, talent and wit before. Even a friend who is very in love with his girlfriend couldn’t stop himself from staring and being smitten by these ladies especially Nanu (Ms. Nepal) and Ms. Sweden.
Ms. Brazil is very tall and beautiful…so stunning. Most men stayed away from her because they looked like dwarfs standing next to her…hehehe :)
Later that evening, some ladies jammed with the bands. Ms Earth 2006 winner Ms Hil Hernandez entertained us with her Chilean rendition of Somos Novios (popularized by Andrea Bocelli and Christina Aguilera) .Our favorite, Bernadette, who is representing Italy, sang a Bono song …I couldn’t remember the title…sorry. She really has a nice voice too. Heard she sang a Cher song during their talent night…and she did it so well. She is really very talented. She speaks fluent English… which is rare for Italians who has never traveled outside of Italy before…she will be a lawyer in a few months ... and she’s one of the top contenders for Ms Earth 2007 who would really like to help save the world from Global warming. Wow ...that’s real beauty with a cause.
At 12:20am, all the candidates hopped into their respective buses to go back to their hotel and rest. The competition is just a few days away. They were all getting tensed, restless and tired. We were told that they just instantly switch back to normal the moment they are in their buses, feet hung or up on their chairs and seat in whatever position they like just so they could immediately be comfortable.
When all the delegates and their guests have left, I stayed with 4 of my “alcoholic friends” for more booze. We finished before 2 am. I had too much wine again…what’s new? ;) Then I remembered I was going to go on a 4 day Northern Luzon road trip with my siblings the following day and we had to leave at 6:30 since my Ford Everest’s color coding day is Wednesday. Oh no! And I am the first leg driver. I drank lots of Gatorade before I finally went to bed at 2:30am.
