Your Binibini 29, Maria Mika Maxine Medina (Photo credit: Joy Arguil)
Before I release my final prediction for Bb. Pilipinas 2016, here is one last blog feature on a Binibini who has been gradually getting a lot of good feedbacks from pageant followers. She is able to keep her “top favorite” status always afloat.
Maria Mika Maxine Medina is on solid ground entering the last couple of days in competition. By Sunday night, she will know if her efforts will be rewarded with a good crown.
But let’s not get stuck with that thought just yet. Read her personal account of the whole Bb. Pilipinas journey and how she will always fondly look back to everything that happened for the past months.
Pageants are highly celebrated in our country. Competitive and anticipated. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I will be able to join the most prestigious competition in the Philippines, which is Binibining Pilipinas. As persuaded by my friends & family who have been asking me to try it out, I finally gave in. But God making his way 3 years ago, I was already a candidate but I didn’t make it through because of some work conflicts. Now, I’m trying my luck and aiming for the title.
As I started my way in Binibining Pilipinas, I was still learning the tools of the trade on how to be a lady who represents the traditional “Filipina” like the other candidates. And kid you not, it was never easy. It needs hard work and discipline… I am having mixed feelings of being excited and nervous but to be in this competition is already a “pressure”, “challenging yet fun”… But I always lift my self up and keep in mind that joining this competition will make me a better person. Besides, I am learning a thing or two all the time.
My journey in this competition is unexpected. Yes, I’m pressured and everyone is competitive but I learn how to manage my self to be “just myself” and enjoy each and every moment I have in this competition. The friendships built, the travels, exploring the different cultures of other contestants and the events. Again, nothing more rewarding than having the feeling of being with your friends as sisters journeying together for a goal!
The best advice that I can give is to be true to yourself. Grow gradually and gracefully ’cause when you learn to love yourself all the colors would come out in you. Keep in mind that you are making your own history, your own victory.
Now what do you think of Binibini 29? Keep in mind that I re-blogged about her last because I was able to pin her down only last night. Nevertheless, this girl is confident and will never let up in her ultimate objective. And by now, you know what that is.😉
Maxine Medina and I
