Miss Universe 2009 updates

In last year Miss Universe 2008 pageant, we have witnessed the victory of Miss Venezuela , Dayana Mendoza. About 80 contestants from different countries competed for the said event but Miss Venezuela managed and successfully beat all other contestants. Together with her Miss Colombia (Taliana Vargas) also won as the Miss Universe 2008 1st runner-up, Miss Dominican Republic (Marianne Cruz) 2nd runner-up, Miss Russia (Vera Krazova) 3rd runner-up and Miss Mexico as the 4th runner-up. Miss Universe 2008 pageant was held at the Crown Convention Center in the Diamond Bay Resort, Nha Trang, Vietnam on July 14, 2008.

I'm so exited for this upcoming event. I wonder who among these 86 estimated contestants will get the crown. I live in the Republic of the Philippines so my bet is Pamela Manalo our country 's representative. But of course we all know that everyone is deserving to win for they will all show their very best for this Miss Universe 2009 pageant.

Miss Universe is one of the Most awaited event every year. From the said event we can witness different beauties from different countries competing for one title, the Miss Universe. But the process of choosing the right Miss Universe is not that easy, its a long process actually. Countries which want to participate must hold a contests first in each city to chose a candidate to become the country's representative for the said event. The winner must compete again to other winners from cities to cities and it is the time that the country has to select who will become the representative for Miss Universe. In the Philippines, it is usually the Bb. Pilipinas Miss Universe winner.

According to the organizers, the Miss Universe pageant is not about the looks and the body. Women who aspire to become a Miss Universe must be intelligent, cultured, well-mannered and have a concerned to their country. Many who desired to won the title lose the triumph not because they are not good but it’s because they failed to satisfy the judges especially when it comes to the question and answer portion. Many candidates has lost the contest because they did not have a good and satisfying answer to the question.

Moreover, this pageant is indeed to promote peace and the cultures of each country they represent. Any candidate who is part of this contest is a sure winner for this is a big time event that every beautiful and talented woman in the world could ever wished.
