Beautiful news with TVB Pearl

I am not a big fan of news, nevertheless I don't mind watching a bit late night news on TV for a quick glance on what's on today. The disappointment is too many times the news is so boring and repetitive and foolish like "another breakdown of the Ngong Ping 360" and I can't help hitting the pillow instead. One day, news is no longer boring with the appearance of Emma Jones.

She is being the very few Caucasian female reporters in local chanels and in my opinion the most beautiful by all standards. She has all sense of taste and fashion which most of the others can only dream: timeless pageboy hairstyle, easy-listening English accent, always elegantly dressed, ornamented and groomed. Not to mention she is a blonde. She shows the style how business women should look like: formal yet stunning, sexy and confident, without dressing in complete stark, overly-clad and sexlessly styled. For those who don't have a clue or complaining having no time reading Vogue, look no further.

It's a pleasant way to wrap up the day with some news roundup everytime Emma's on.

Congrat to Daryna Shevchenko as Miss Asia 2006!


Never been interested in local beauty pageant, I watched ATV Miss Asia Pageant 2006 held in Macau earlier, only for one reason: my favourite, Daryna Shevchenko, a Caucasian candidate from Kazakhstan, was there.

Daryna, at 16 only yet she shows effortless grace, confident, and feminine. Not only in the event but also for the rest of the entire contest. Inner beauty can't fake and she has it all, something that the showboats or posers from China and local can't dream (Just see how tactful she reacted to a ruthless criticism from another Chinese contestant). The best part is, she's equally stunning in outlook, whether it's in her homeland traditional custume, swimsuit or Chinese qi pao.

She's clearly a winner, and the organizer, thought so. She was crowded the Miss Asia 2006, and won also titles as Miss Perfect Figure, and Miss Eloquence and Grace (she deserves every bit of it!).

Bravo to her victory as Miss Asia 2006 and also cheers to the organizer, ATV. For a time I can't even imagine a conversative local TV chanel would "risk" crowning a non-Chinese speaking, Caucasian darkhorse as top 3 winners in a beauty pageant of "Oriental beauties" history. ATV did the right thing breaking the rules and stereotype, in flying colours.
