Action Speak Louder than Words

My fellow colleagues in the preschool were talking about this video that they've seen on Youtube some days ago over lunch. I was intrigued because they seemed so enthusiastic while sharing their experiences upon watching it. Feeling a little bit left out, I searched it on Youtube to satisfy my curiosity.



Maria Venus Raj was the controversial Miss Universe finalist because she had to face some issues regarding her nationality before representing the Philippines in the glamorous Miss Universe pageant, which was held in Las Vegas two weeks ago. Filipinos all over the world cheered and screamed when she was named as the fourth runner-up. She almost had the crown in her hands but being a fourth runner-up is not bad. After all, she has brought pride and happiness in the country, amidst the hostage drama which somehow changed how the international community sees the Filipinos.

On a much brighter side, Veejay Floresca (a fashion designer who's making a name and waves in the fashion industry), Martin Bautista (a young fashion designer too), Lex Librea (a corporate travel consultant), and Aleq Africa (an employee in a leading real-state firm) were among the Filipinos who went wild and crazy for Venus. The expression on their faces and the way they behaved when they heard Venus' name were definitely an epic and sensational. And did I tell you that these guys were also featured in the different international shows such as The Tonight with John Leno and MTV? Now, that's awesome.

Watch the video and see it for yourself. :)
