This is an advertisement for a local beauty pageant in my Dad's province. I'm not really into these types of things, but I think it is impossible to ignore that winning Miss Bacnotan could be my destiny. The search is over!

"1. The search is open to all females 16 to 24 years old (I've got several months before I'm 25), single (yep...), and may be any of the following:
- bonafide resident of bacnotan
- born in bacnotan
- either of the parents is born in bacnota, la union (check!)
2. The candidate must be at least 5'3 ft in height (that cuts my competition by 3/4 easily), with pleasing personality (i was nominated Most Friendly in 9th grade), of good moral character (i'm not mother teresa, but i do my best), and with a good set of teeth (3 years of braces ensure that i'm top notch in this department)!"

The auditions are November 24 gang. Wish me luck!
