Miss Universe 2008

I watched the Miss Universe 2008 pageant yesterday and I was very happy with the result.

Ms. Colombia, Taliana Vargas, really had my vote from the start of the semifinals until I heard her answer the Jennifer Hawkin's question, "If you could go back in time and change a moment in your past, what would that be and why?"

She gave an answer that I consider to be the safest and laziest answer that one could give to such a question that would definitely show one's strength and humility. I was really disappointed.

That is why I considered, Ms. Venezuela's (Dayana Mendoza) answer to Louis Licari's question: "Do you believe men or women have it easier in life, and why?" her leap to the crown.

Her answer: "God made us to share and to have difference, but big difference between women and men, doesn't matter whether kind of life they live, is that men think, that they think that the faster way to got to a point is go straight. Women know that the faster way to go to a point is go to the curve and fix in every curves."

(BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE)

Her answer uplifted the women without the degrading men, and I think that makes a true Miss Universe, focusing the strengths of one's self without higlighting the weaknesses of others. =D Amazing!! i really like her.
