World Sisters

I have been blessed with sisters from all over the world! Each and every one of my sisters is beautiful and we are unique in our own way. I also have a handful of dear best-friends who I mostly spend my time with, who love me, speak truth to me, and show me kindness.

Our lives were brought together by a greater plan, but it's not coincidence we became sisters. Sharing our mother's tongue, cultures, to our personal life. Every single time I think about how we met the first time, introducing ourselves, from strangers to friends, friends to best friends, best friends to sisters.

It was surely a frightening and fantastic day. I have to admit I felt so nervous on this day. Despite of the nervousness we all had, we managed to go complete the challenge with a big smile on our face. There was a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky. I bet it's true, there's always a rainbow after the rain, agree? XOXO

I can't hide the fact that our friendship has gotten stronger as we spent our days here together. It's also undeniable, we enjoyed each other's presence so deeply. Everyday we wake up to our roommate, then our neighbor sisters, we have meals 3x a day together. We were inseparable!

"Green means go.""Green means go."

If somebody asks me, when would be my favorite day during my Miss World days. My answer would be no other than Sports Competition day! It was a hectic day, drenched in sweat and covered with excitement. I eventually created this chant to support green team. What do you think when you see the color green? Most of you think it as clean/save/green environment, accessible, completed. 

How about green on traffic lights? It does mean "you may go now", doesn't it? 

That's how I related this chant, that goes "What does green mean? GREEN means GO! GREEN means GO!". That's how we are! We keep on fighting and supporting, there's no red light in our dictionary. That might explain how green team won the Sports Competition, yeah! Super proud!!

What a beautiful little island to get away (temporarily) from it all. We loved the boardwalk through the mangroves and the extensive dock to get off and on the boat. We spent hours under the sun, while eating delicious lunch that was presented with so much love. We enjoyed the turquoise waters. It was a magical place!

The rehearsal builds confidence. Confidence builds a better performance. That's what we have been doing as one team. We never forget, that teamwork starts with bonding.  I strongly believe, we have developed a stronger connection with each other and feel more comfortable sharing words of advice and encouragement.

As the finale approaches, we put our all and teamwork skills to the limit while learning choreography and during practices. Our body may get weak, though our spirit always pulls us through.

Time sure flies so fast. What's more, Christmas is just around the corner! The days we have spent together for more than 2 weeks. I keep thinking to myself, how am I so lucky to be experiencing all these sweet moments with great friends, whom I may now address them as world sisters. 

Hanging out day by day. We make our memories in our own little way.

My excitement on this day had no boundaries! Earlier in the morning, all of us contestants were scheduled to have some free time at Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve Hotel. And when I thought that leisure time was enough to make my day, the excitement didn't stop there. A few were selected as Miss World representatives and as the VIP guests of Lighthouse NFT Smart Gallery in Old San Juan. The best part was yet to happen, while we were there being introduced to digital artists as we learned NFTs better, we received an information that Logan Paul, the famous YouTube would come and join us!

I literally had to pick up my jaw off the floor. I was thrilled. It was pure joy!!

Maybe I got to know each of them only for a few weeks, but they made a real impact on me and I will forever be grateful for our friendship, our sisterhood.

“Do not forget that it is not wealth, possessions or status that create happiness. It is the friendship, love, and kindness we give that bind us together as human beings. Connection is a vital ingredient for happiness in anyone’s language.” – Lisa Currie
