                    [Summary] => By now – because most Filipinos were clueless on the night Precious Lara Quigaman was crowned 2005 Miss International – everybody knows that the Philippines has produced another beauty queen of international stature. Quigaman’s crown is such a fete for a country whose proclivity for pageants is always at a fever pitch. (Beauty contests are a dime a dozen in the Philippines. From the most uppity village to the most rural community, Filipinos’ penchant for "beauty search" is participated in by the young ones and the once young.

It could have been better if you were here. Mount Bromo, at the crack of dawn, was simply surreal. The smell of sulfur permeated the air because active volcanoes surrounded the area. At once I felt one of them was going to erupt because viscous fumes billowed from its mouth. The cloud of smoke that the volcano emitted resembled a giant phantom that nonchalantly danced in midair.

If Vic, my lawyer friend, was not very close to me, I could have put out my cigarette in his mouth while he was dying of laughter. But I realized I was seeking his advice – to some extent I was asking him to do a pro bono legal service – regarding the violence suffered by J from the mighty arms of Kent. So, I disregarded his tirades about J’s story and I kept my cool.

Blame it on the fast-paced world we live in, many people have forgotten how to be thoughtful and considerate.
