WELCOME TO MY LIFE .

HERE IS MY SUGGESTION.and my suggestions are always effective. so if anyone from Miss World Phils can read this. follow these: :)and if you need a great photographer/stylist You should be tapping a great and young talent ..ehemmm..such as me.

and now my dear readers, if YOU also want a new look , great makeover and superb gorgeous photos dont hesitate to get in touch with me through facebook.com/tamiballesterosphotography thank you.

I would be ANNE CURTIS...why?

Honestly I think Bb. PILIPINAS right now has very beautiful candidates... and it's hard to pick who will win at the moment... but hey disqualifying a candidate particularly that of Grendel Alvarado because of a previous topless model shoot.... that's BS. I think a nude shoot done with class and artistry is not a sin.

and if topless is an issue check one of the few topless publicity pics of Miss Universe 2010 (Trinidad and Tobago). so I dont really see the point of the "conservative issue" here...

Well, there you go...

I like watching Philippine beauty pageants especially the most popular Bb. Pilipinas because of their beautiful candidates from different regions in our country.
But aside from that I also like it more because of the intrigues,the booboos,funny moments and the hoola baloos
that also goes with it.

Let's face it(even if we don't blatantly admit :P) As humans we feel good when this supposed to be perfect example of beauty, grace and elegance flop sometimes, because at least then we know they are still our kind.lolz.I would like to watch the grand finals (kaso la ako kasama pa.)

ON THE OTHER HAND, i think the area we need to enhance is how our candidates should answer with wits and confidence.

Also cosmetic enhancement is not a bad thing, whether
its surgical or non surgical, coz let's be real here, it's a beauty pageant after all, BEAUTY comes first. so however the means to be beautiful , i must say GO FOR IT GURL!you are in a CONTEST! DO EVERYTHING TO GET AHEAD.
and also to BB Pilipinas Org., i also would like to comment, please send our repz with
great clothes & beauty stylists, sometimes what they wear look outdated specially their gowns...
there are so many great FILIPINO designers out there who could help or perhaps sponsor

look at what INES LIGRON , Director of MISS UNIVERSE JAPAN is doing, she ties up
with fab designers/brands for her JAPAN beauty queens to wear (a smart move i must say, because its a WIN-WIN situation for the brand and the gurl rep right?)

and for their pix, hey there is always the great creative photographer TAMI BALLESTEROS TO COUNT ON!

check out some entertaining vidz of the pageant:

What's with the girls of Venezuela that they keep on winning the Olympics of Beauty Pageants - Miss Universe. It is a back to back win for Venzuela for 2008 and 2009, the crowns were won by Dayana Mendoza and Stefania Fernandez respectively...Great huh?

On the other hand, the Philippines hasn't been in the top 15 since 2000. (please correct me if I'm wrong). Lat time I believe was when Miriam Quiambao almost snatched the crown by being the 1st runner up...But who remember runner ups???...My 2 cents thought about it? I think Philippine's reps lacks training and support from their National Directors...although they are beautiful, the overall packaging is not complete...Just like in sports Olympics, everything should be near perfect, the body,the makeup, the clothes, the walk, hands, hair, hips,eyes, eyelashes,lips, the promotional pictures, press publicity,the way the girl talks... etc...

If I were the National Director for Miss Philippines , I would choose a representative at least a year away from the International Pageant, to give time to practice and polish every aspect of her. Have her enhanced through cosmetic surgery if needed...Let's face it. It's a beauty pageant and it is still an entertainment show.

Inner & natural beauty is good, but for this kind of race Outer beauty is essential to lead the pack.We are not looking for the next Mother Teresa here aint we?

Good day everyone. Today I'm gonna share my secrets on how to feel and look sexy.Here are some KOKO Superstar tips you could do:

●Bluff it until it's real

You know some people that they practice something until it becomes real? Like if you wanna be a model, you try to pose and pose, take pictures of yourself, exercise, learn makeup and so on and so forth--and eventually it becomes real. Same goes for being sexy.

●Ditch the loser mannerisms. Do not slouch,walk confident, do not be afraid to look at people and smile at them, do not bite your nails while talking...Do not fidget and stutter when talking... hmmm as for me? what I do is pretend that I'm a toothpaste model everyday. :P. try it! it works.

● Have that winner stance.If you project confidence and self assurance, people will react to you more positively, look at Victoria Secret models for example, they wouldn't be that hot if they did not stand up , walk and pose confidently. I have this friend , and before she walks out of the house, she looks in the mirror and pretend she just won a beauty pageant with matching attitude with the shocking face and tears and thanking everyone (you can skip the teary part if you wear mascara..lolz)

● Try new things, especially clothes... If you dress well you are reinforcing and saying to your body that it deserves great care because it's beautifu and soon enough it will believe you and mold itself to become one. Do not be afraid to experiment once in a while. Dont ever think that just because you do not have a mannequin figure, you cant try new and more stylish clothes on. It's all about the proper mindset. Sexiness comes in different forms and sizes!

● Be sexy on the inside. Literally. Throw away your granny panties or "ala bacon" gartered undies, even if your at home, buy yourself new ones, choose nice quality and invest in branded undies once in a while, because....you never know when you will have a love making session, its embarassing to see old and tattered undies..it's not sexy.haha.

● Have good photographs of you. Yep,I mean those glamorous pictures of you where you are looking great.Why? because everytime you stare at it, you condition your mind that the person in the picture is sexy and beautiful. Try a good photographer, who really knows how to feel and look sexy, ehemmm, ehemmmm. Check my photography site and see what I mean http://kokostyleproductions.multiply.com.

I hope these tips help my you fellow superstars, I know they will...don't forget to write to me if they work ok??? and share some how to be sexy tips too.!!! have a great day sexy.:)

Yes. its true , it's absoultely a great yet very cheap beauty tip



this is amazing. I tried this myself. Geez, had I known this earlier, I would saved thousands of bucks!!!! Thanks Michelle. I am vain, I know.

I just find this video very useful to those who wants to sport the Lady gaga look . It can be done by anyone. haha.Enjoy!!!

Japan's representative to the Miss Universe 2009 is Emiri Miyasaka, and she's pretty. Here are her pics sent by her country's pageant director (Ines Ligron) sent to the Miss Universe Organization which caused quite a stir in all kinds of media. According to Ms. Ligron it was intended to look that way to create talks in the media and not stereotype beauty pageants, She thinks that part of the magic of the contests are those who break off the mold and bring new definition of beauty such as what designers Junya Watanabe, Yoji Yamamto, Issey Miyake, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Cavalli and Dolce & Gabanna do.I myself think this is cool!!! Something to watch out for...

Everyone wants to look good, and sometimes we have to go under the knife to look better, or enhance our looks, but too bad for some people, they are victimized by quack doctors

Singer Selina Sevilla a filipina singer ,of the “Nilunok Kong Lahat” song fame ,lodged a complaint at the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) against an alleged fake doctor whom she said conducted a butt augmentation procedure on her which is now causing her severe pain.Apparently this doctor injected silicone oil on her butt...11 years after it looks nasty and is infected, she is bound for a series of operation to have it look better. tsk tsk

so for those deciding to have their beauty enhanced , whether it's your butt or other parts of your body, go to a certified plastic surgeon. Try Estetico Manila. I go there and I know they have the best doctors , dermatologists and aesthetic dentists.

you only have one body, take care of it.

"Many people today are too busy making a living that they don’t have time to make a life. "... It's quite ironic that there are a lot of people too drowned on their works and they say that they do this to have a better life, but on the contrary they just make things even worse...because they are setting themselves away from the people who care for them..

Even if you have a career, as long as you know how to balance your schedule and communicate well with your loved ones, there will always be time for them...it doesn't need to be a long time, what matter is the quality of the moments you have shared together...

so go on.. give your loved ones a call, when it's your rest day from work, spend time with your family instead of going to clubs and be drunk, play with your kids instead of gambling...share a laugh or two with them...

make your job work for you and not you working your years away for your job.

Nobody likes being criticised but, unfortunately it is a fact of life.I for myself is subject to a lot of criticisms espedially in the profession that I am in. To be able to respond to criticism with nobility and detachment is an important life skill, which few people have. If we respond to criticism without careful consideration, it can easily lead to unnecessary suffering.

1. What Can I Learn from Criticism?

Most criticism is probably based, at least in part, on some truths. Criticism may appear negative. But, through criticism we have the opportunity to learn and improve from their suggestions.

2. Respond to the suggestions not the tone of the criticism.

The problem is that people may make valuable critical suggestions. However, there tone and style of criticism means that we respond not to the suggestions but remember there confrontational manner. In this respect we need to separate the criticism from the style of criticism. Even if people speak in a tone of anger, we should try to detach their emotion from the useful suggestions which lie underneath.

3. Value criticism.
The problems is that quite often, we only value praise. When people speak kind words we feel happy. When people criticise we feel miserable. However, if we only received insincere praise and false flattery, how would we ever make progress? If we wish to improve and develop we should invite constructive criticism and appreciate their suggestions.


4. Don’t take it personally.

This is often the biggest problem which occurs with regard to criticism. If I criticise my Mother’s cooking, she feels personally offended. But, it is a mistake to identify ourselves with an apple pie. Somebody may find good reasons why our cooking is bad; but, this does not mean they are criticising ourselves. When people criticise us directly, we should feel they are not criticising our real self; but, just an unillumined aspect of ourselves. When we criticise others, we are perhaps criticising their pride or jealousy; but, the jealousy is a mere passing emotion, it is not the real person.

5. Ignore False Criticism.
Sometimes we are criticised with no justification. This is a painful experience. But, potentially we can deal with it more easily than criticism which is justified. One option is to remain aloof and ignore it completely. We should feel that false criticism is as insignificant as an ant trying to harm an elephant. If we remain silent and detached the criticism is given no energy. If we feel the necessity of fighting it - in a way, we give it more importance than it deserves. By remaining silent we maintain a dignity that others will come to respect.

6. Don’t Respond Immediately

It is best to wait a little before responding. If we respond with feelings of anger or injured pride we will soon regret it. If we wait patiently it can enable us to reflect in a calmer way.

7. Smile

Smiling, even a false smile, can helps us to relax more. It creates a more positive vibration and smoothes the situation. It will definitely help psychologically. Smiling will motivate the other person to moderate their approach.


But amidst all the criticisms, I am just thankful for my family and friends who still loved me whoever I am at the moment,

and more importantly, the criticism that you should really take is the one that your heart makes, you are the only one who really know who you are.People may say whatever they want but at the end of day, just be thankful because you have been noticed, Confucious once said "It's the beautiful bird that gets caged"....
