shed up and took a nap. I woke up around 1:30 in the afternoon. I put on my bikini and spread some tanning oil in my body. I brought my traveling baby (Fisheye2) and some cash. I was starving. So I walked and crossed the rocks and "the wall", to get to the other side of the beach. There were a lot of stalls. Food and drinks, tattoo shops, souvenirs, registration booths, etc. But as I was crossing the huge, a bit sharp, dead reef rocks, my traveling Havanias for two years broke! I just removed it and continued my journey. Oh well, I needed a new pair anyway. But I was kind of sad because I knew I had to threw it. On top of that, I had a lot of traveling memories with my Havanias. The brown, slim and gold strap, with flower designs Havanias. I remembered I was so desperate to buy new pair of slippers. The sand was scorching hot! I was pretending that I was enjoying my afternoon walk. So I bought this pink, with colored small hearts, Old Navy slippers from one of the stalls. I didn't think twice, I just bought it. Then, I continued my journey, looking for a really good food stall. I was starving. I ate chicken inasal with one cup of rice and a cold bottle of ice tea.
I continued my walk and checked out other stalls. I was looking for a coffee stall. I needed caffeine! I passed by a henna tattoo stall. I wanted to get a real tattoo but a henna tattoo would be better for now, just to see what it looks like if its already a tattoo. Then, the guy from the stall asked, " Miss, gusto mo na maging model ko para sa henna tattoo contest?". I asked him "Anu ba concept mo?", the artist said, "Si Jesus Christ nag-susurfing!". I replied "Teka, mag-kakape muna ako at iisipin ko malupet kung gusto ko." Luckily, I saw this coffee stall just near the henna tattoo stall. Just chilled out a little bit with my coffee and thought about being a walking canvas. I was quite hesitant at first because I didn't want to have a henna tattoo of Jesus Christ for two weeks. When I finished my coffee, I decided to be his walking canvas. Hey it was a great bargain! I got henna tattoos for free! Which usually cost a lot! Deny, the artist, started working on my back. He did explain to me that he won't tattoo Jesus Christ on my back anymore, he decided to put a sea goddess. Whew! That was a relief! He started around past 3pm and finished around 5pm. While he was working, the other models were also there in the tent. And take note, all of them were men. I thought I was the only female model in the contest.
Then, the judging began. Well, it was just simple. The judges scrutinized each designs and it was done! The winner was announce later that evening. Oh yeah, there was a bikini-open contest that evening and some sort of show, but I went home early to get a good rest for the following morning.
