watched the last half an hour of the miss universe pageant today while munching down dinner (some leftover ricecake and preserved fish from shanghai). it was pretty funny because that was the so-called difficult question and answer round. there was a question which was something along the lines of, “what do you think could be done to eradicate the gender discrimination women face in many parts of the world face even until this day?” in which miss Venezuela answered, well, i don’t think anything needs to be done because there is a lot done already!
this made me realise that the purpose of the q&a round is not, contrary to popular belief, to flaunt the extreme intellectual aptitude of the contestants, but instead is designed in such a way that contestants’ll score high points for waxing lyrial about life while looking glamorous. geez. if only we could answer tok questions with such relative ease. “how do you quantify truth based on the different ways of knowing?” “well firstly, i would like to say how thankful i am for this wonderful experience, because i believe in telling the truth. and also i think truth consists of with beauty, compassion and intelligence…” haha. there’s an A for tok right there.
and it was damn funny cuz venezuela won twice in a row right? this year and last. when they announced that miss venezuela won, the ex-miss universe and the current one ran towards each other and started hugging and crying and jumping around in circles in unison. and 2008’s hair just kinda disintegrated into this bird’s-nest type of thing when she jumped around. ok i kid. but seriously, the best part was when 2008 was crowning 2009. i’m sorry did i say crowning? i mean throw-the-million-dollar-diamond-tiara-on-head-of-your-successor a la those carnival games where you have to throw mini-hoops into the bottle. it was damn funny!
oh well, if only the world were a giant beauty pageant: there would be answers to every single pressing question; does god exist? were the pyramids really built by aliens? is doomsday really in 2012? will we all die then? what can we do to survive? do we hide food in the basements? if so what type of food? will we remember to bring can-openers or starve to death because we were too stupid to open the food without them? will there be tinned mangoes? what the hell am i saying exactly?
anyway if you haven’t figured, the magic phrase to all of those questions above is ‘world peace’. or as the homies back at the ‘hood say it, ‘peace out’.
appearance vs reality: sometimes you shouldn’t laugh at the weirdo.
p.s. sorry for the randomness guys, i’m really damn sleepy, and this is coming from after my 4 hour nap. haha. i failzz at lifezzxxss
p.p.s. maybe i should become lianxxzzz
p.p.p.s. can lianzzxxx win miss universe?
