Interesting to note that Peter Sereno is a pure blooded Filipino. He is born here in our country and migrated to Australia years later. He is also a pageant junkie just like all of us, and that paved his way in becoming an associate to the MUA Organization and being the one in charge of sculpting victories in the Land Down Under.
Weeks ago, before the Miss Universe fever had all of us infected, I had a chance to talk to him via Facebook, and we discussed all about the possibilities in store for the ladies once they laid their feet in Brazil. Here's the conversation:
- well hello hello!
- shes fine...i think hahahahaha
- Is she going to be under your stellar tutelage?
- hahahahaahahaha thats top secret
- i think the secret got out that i had a say in her evening gown production
- OMG. I see.
- naughty naughty the person who leaked that
- Oh, I can't wait! *squeals*
- OMG. How about her NC?
- SLB doesnt need my training. she will win
- her and usa will make a good team during the year
- Include Shamcey!
- What can you say?
- HAHAHAHA nice team
- i havent seen enough of shamcey but her body is amazing
- and she doesnt need to worry if she doesnt ace interview. these days the interview doesnt really matter much. it's all about the look and the sex appeal. the look has to cross all international markets.
- Yes, marketability has been a top priority, ever since Donald bought the pageant.
- Can I ask a favor?
- what would that be my dear?
- Do you and Scherri often see each other?
- goodness no
- we didnt even get to see each other when she was here last week....sooo busy
- Oh.
- I would like to have a picture of Scherri holding a piece of paper with my name and her greetings on it.
- AHAHAHAAHAHAH let's see if we can organise that for wednesday
- Can you?
- ill do my best...do you know sone palupe?
- Who?
- oh hes one of the guys from missosology
- commentates on the australian girls
- Oh, yeah, I think I saw his name before
- ill see if i can get him to organise that coz he doesnt have an official role...ill be handling the media, helping sylvia at the back AND writing my own pieces
- I'll be super expecting that.
- Oh, I can't wait!
- Lemme ask you a question, sir.
- go ahead
- |Who do you think will be the clappers from Asia?
- hmmmmmm
- the usual girls
- singapore
- malaysia
- possibly india
- possibly japan and korea
- Korea?
- Why?
- and sadly..indonesia
- Oh, I'm still regarding her as a darkhorse
- not making waves and ines isnt there to fly the flag and lobby for her candidates
- Ines is now overseeing China, right?
- no she isnt. another woman is. chinese american. yue sai kan
- Oh. I heard Ines will also be the one to oversee the training of Debbie.
- really? thats a first for me
- to be honest i think shamcey's style can be better
- you look at her and she could be miss thailand or indonesia
- yeah?
- HAHAHA. How?
- theres something about the make up and the styling of her which reeks miss thailand or miss indonesia
- might be the lip stick and the orange brown eyebrows
- her look confuses me
- but god bless her shes beautiful with a great body
- You mean that she's inconsistent facially?
- no i think her styling and her look is consistent..i just dont think it separates her from the pack
- whoever decided to put coral lipstick on her should be shot
- She has to stand out from all the fierce ones there
- It's Stella, as usual. She's been trying to sabotage our chances
- to be honest im not confident with her chances breaking the semis
- i think venus and the controversy as well as the worldwide outrage and attention it brought really worked to her advantage
- otherwise, she wouldve been overlooked also
- coz goodness knows she didnt make it into the semis with her interview
- Yes, that's what I'm dreading too.
- Just like Bianca.
- It should be Patricia!
- ahhh well it is what it is.
- And to think, not a lot of pageant experts are keen on her chances
- sadly shes not making a lot of waves
- indonesia made heaps of waves when she won for a while
- so did malaysia
- But Malaysia's been able to keep that.
- we will see what happens. im usually always surprised with the selections
- i try not to think too much about breaking the semis
- Me too. Shocked when Guatemala broke the hex
- it's when the top 10-15 are announced..thats when the real work for me begins
- But infuriated when Czech and Belgium stole Peru and Japan's slots
- well panama is sounding like someone to watch out for
- Yeah, also Peru.
- Paraguay as well.
- the south and central americans are sending beautiful girls
- colombia wont make it this year
- will venezuela make it? hmmmm...probably not
- Yeah, that's right
- Yes, she's so old looking
- Argentina and Chile
- im not a fan of argentina or chile either
- Me too. Brazil?
- oh shes ok. not very excited
- she will probably make it
- I have a great feeling about Israel
- a lot of people are saying that
- will australia win? yes i think so.
- will trump help progress her career? probably not
- Haha.
- trump will select a favourite who wont win and he will mould her and turn her into a superstar
- Russia and Serbia.
- probably
- ok i gotta pack and get ready for tomorrow.....so much to do!
- it was lovely to finally chat with you!
- we should do this more often
- yeah.
- my photo ha?!
- no worries ill do my best. do me a favour and post it on my wall tmorrow or the day after to remind me
- yeah
- bye
- ciaoooo
- hello!

August 13Kristoff de Guia- Hey Sir! God bless you. Sorry I took so long, I just had a jampacked week. Anyways, my email address is: miguel_deguia41@yahoo.com
Thanks!
August 13Peter Sereno- kristoff i emailed it to you already. hope you have received it
August 13Kristoff de Guia- OMG. Thanks!
- Sir, I can't open it. Maybe I'll try tomorrow. Can you upload one to my profile? Thanks!
August 13Peter Sereno- Hmmmm ill see if I can figure it out
August 13Kristoff de Guia- Oh Sir, please do! Am so excited! Thanks!
- I received the video!
- Thanks so much!
- What is she saying in the video?
- oh she says "hi kristoff, thanks for all your support! love always, SLB"
- Oh, I see now. Thanks again!
- By the way, have you heard?
- heard what?
- That like Miss USA, there will be a semifinalist that will come out from the online voters?
- START VOTING KIDS!!!!!
- BUWAHAHHAHAHA
- Haha. Oh, I'm sure Scherri will not need that.
- When does voting start?
- August 19, ask Miss Miller for the details, the national directors are already notified.
- Thais all around as well as the Filipinos and Puerto Ricans will be fighting for that spot!
- true true
- OMG.
- i guess we're not worried. I think SLB will do well regardless. I spent an hour with her this morning and she is ready
- Really? What did she say?
- nothing really. we just did some runway and laughed a lot
- shes in good spirits
- Who'll be with her in Brazil?
- Eh?
- deborah will be with her in brazil
- as well as nikki silverthorne of kooey who designed her national costume
- Oh, I see. How about you
- oh goodness no. i cant stand brazil
- and plus i have work commitments
- Oh well. You're a Filipino, right?
- yes i am. born in the philippines
- Oh, that explains it, we Filipinos are pageant freaks! haha
- hahaha pageant freaks.
- i only get this way for miss universe
- miss world, i dont realy care for
- nor miss international
- Me too. I'm no MW or MI fan.
- but i dont really involve myself in it much these days. only to help out deborah miller
- Miss Universe coz it's more well known here.
- But you helped Jen Hawkins to win, right?
- apparently
- BUWAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
- And that's so so stellar of you.
- thank you so much
- very kind
- Of course, when she won, it's not only her. It's also your win.
- yes, now shes a multi billionaire and im still....me.
- BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
- But still, you helped her.
- bless. she is blessed. im happy for her and she is one lucky girl. this is her destiny
- and i was just blessed to have been part of that ride
- and let
- and let's see where this takes Scherri Lee
- Look at her now. If it wasn't for you, she is not what is she now.
- Eh?
- Wanna ask you something.
- sure ask away
- How's your take on Misses Egypt, Israel and Lebanon?
- Israel looks strong. Egypt I think is overhyped...Lebanon usually sends beautiful girls but they are not the easiest to work with. A lot of it has to do with the culture and the language
- I think out of all of them Israel has the most commercial potential for Trump
- For me, I like Sara and Kim.
- Right one.
- She's fresh and innocent.
- How about Misses NZ, Guam and Aruba?
- At the end of the day the judges are asked who they think will make a good ambassador for Trump Industries
- NZ Im not feeling
- Guam unfortunately don't have the chutzpah to make waves
- Yeah.
- and Aruba? She takes great pics but what wil she be like on stage?
- I know Puketapu is a Maori, but that does not help her make a lot of waves just like Shamcey or even Gillain.
- Right?
- nope it means nothing
- its about money, not politics
- Yeah. She's like Sri Lanka, who robbed the crown from an Australia's Next Top Model finalist.
- u gotta look at her commercial potential
- and what shes like to work with
- Hey, need to go. Bye!
- Thanks again
- pleasure
- ciao
