Good Dress Up Mr. and Ms. CHE 2013. ELENABLOG

Last July 26, 2013, I was invited by the UP College of Home Economics to be one of their judges for the Mr. and Ms. CHE 2013. Even though I've been invited before in UST to be one of the judges in several pageants, it still feels surreal for people to acknowledge my expertise in this field. I never thought my being a style blogger would qualify me in that spot and actually having a say in the competition. hihi  Anyway, I really enjoy these kind of events. I enjoy judging pageants and seeing how talented these people are. 



 Meet my co-judges, 'Internet Action Star' Ramon Bautista and Teacher Trina.



 The candidates in their Creative Costume.

 I'm so impressed by how these students used their creativity and turned these recyclable materials into lovely costumes! 


 We were asked to do the Q&A portion. (Infairness sa questions, mahirap!haha Kudos to the candidates for their good answers!)

 I feel so honored to judge this pageant with THE Ramon Bautista. 'Surreal' to finally meet him in person. (yes surreal talaga haha) Swear, I'm a fan of this man's wit and perspective on life and love. It was awesome meeting you in person Sir Ramon! Hope to see you again soon!:)

 Obvious naman na nageenjoy kami diba?haha!


 Mr. and Ms. CN won this year's Mr. and Ms. CHE title. Congratulations CJ and Kat!:)

 Spotted : Sino ang tinitignan mo Ramon? I have a feeling happy crush niya tong si Ms. CHE. haha uy?:))


Of course, my mom and my friend Sarah won't let the night end without having a picture with Ramon. hahaha (Di parin makaget over si mommy when Ramon called her my sister hahaha)
 Lakas maka-loveteam ng picture na to. haha!

Thank you UP CHE Student Council for having me as one of your judges. I enjoyed this experience. Congratulations for pulling off an awesome college week!:)
