AWESOMENESS in the HOUSE!
the era of awesomeness has begun.Miss Philippines Earth 2011
I don't usually watch these kind of special shows on television - as a matter of fact, this is my first time. This year's show got my attention because it was held in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. How awesome, right? They're probably doing it as a part of promoting our New 7 Wonders candidate :)) I wish you do, peoples! www.new7wonders.com :) Haha :))
"Compared to fossil fuels like oil and coal, nuclear power is one of the cleanest, most-cost efficient sources of energy. Do you think the Philippines should use nuclear power plants as an alternative?"
This was the final question for the last five standing candidates in the pageant. If I were asked that question, I'd say yes, our country should use nuclear power. Before the camp, Tr. Jean talked to us about this. And here are the stuff I know - Europe, America, Japan. See the connection? These are some of the most successful countries all over the world. That's because they use nuclear power plants, which, as the question stated, is one of the cheapest. Compared to oil, Uranium has a long half-life, 4.47 billion years, which means that nuclear power plants last longer than oil, which is a non-renewable source. And by the rate the Philippines is using oil, we will have to go back to the old ways and use kalesa since we don't have or can't afford oil anymore. After that, what sources of energy are we going to use? Nuclear power plants. But here's the catch. Tr. Jean told us that there's only one nuclear power plant in the Philippines, and it's in Bataan, but they're not using it. Why? Lack of experience. Handling nuclear power plants, as opposed to what is seen on The Simpsons, requires carefulness. Once there are enough trained handlers of nuclear power plants, we can use them. We will be one step closer to leaving our "third-world country" days behind us and be really successful.
But then stepped one of the candidates, Athena Imperial. And she said no in answer to the question. She enumerated other alternatives to gain sources of energy, like hydroelectric, geothermal and solar power . . . I was just amazed. And then everybody in the audience started applauding and then she was like, "Thank you," and she was all cool and kept that cool, non-intimidating smile that not many can achieve. She was like an angel x] I loved her answer too! And she kept that confidence all throughout. You proved that nothing is more attractive in a Filipina like intelligence ;) Congratulations for being Miss Philippines Earth 2011!! :D

You alone should define who you are. Don't let anyone tell you who you should be or what you should do when you what's best for you.
That's about it, I guess. for now. :)
