This is an interesting account of a lady who progressively achieved her dreams in life. Prior to entering pageantry, she simply wanted to become a commercial model or a showbiz personality.

Last 2015, she took part in Miss Philippines Earth where she represented Quezon City. After that, she went straight to training with Philippine Airlines and became a Cabin Crew. Shortly after, she planned the ultimate goal of becoming a Commercial Pilot. She is now called Captain Chezka Carandang at Cebu Pacific.

Watch her vlog below.

Her full name is Graciella Sheine Aclan Lehmann. But you can call her ‘Gratz’ for short. She is 21 years old with Filipino, Swiss and German ethnicity. And she is your Binibini32 in Bb. Pilipinas 2020 who is advocating for Breast Health and Cancer Awareness.

“I used to be a campus journalist, immersing myself into writing and radio broadcasting during my secondary and tertiary years.” volunteered Gratz. “And now, I am working as a Lead Cabin Crew in a local airline – Cebu Pacific.”

Now about that Laura Lehmann connection everyone is asking about.

“Unfortunately, I am not related to Laura po as much as I would love to…”

Is there any personal attachment to breast cancer awareness that you chose it to be your advocacy?

“Yes, tito. I have come up with the said advocacy since I have undergone breast incision twice. With that being said, uncontrollable growth of lumps in my breast made me realize that I have to share to the public that it is through knowledge and self-examination that we can battle and control risks of breast-related diseases. I had early detection po kasi, na it is not dangerous, and we always have a chouce if we want to have it removed or not. But in my case, I had it removed, and I am aware that up until 35 years old, I can still acquire lumps but it is not as dangerous as people think.”

So there. An introduction to Graciella Lehmann for all of you. More about her soon!

I know. I know. Miss World Philippines 2013 won’t be crowned until a week from now. But the host country of Miss World 2013 has been more than ready for quite some time. You’ve got to hand it to our ASEAN neighbors for their hardwork and promotional preparations so far.

Here’s the brief from Indonesia’s Tourism website:

Bali-Jakarta jointly host MISS WORLD 2013

The enchanting tourist island of Bali together with the capital city of Jakarta will jointly host Miss World 2013, where Global Finals will take place at the Sentul International Convention Center on the outskirts of Jakarta on Saturday, 28 September 2013. 

This is the first time that Miss World is held in a South East Asian country. 

Over 125 beauties from around the globe will arrive on the island of Bali one month prior to the finals, staying at Nusa Dua, to be judged here while exploring some of Indonesia’s finest beaches, nature, arts and culture. They will then proceed to Jakarta to contest in the Finals. 

The Sentul International Convention Center is located just on the border between Jakarta andWest Java, but is in fact already within the province of West Java, near Bogor.  Governor of West Java, on his part, has also expressed his support for the Event, considering that no bikini contests will take place here…

So anybody here planning to make a quick trip to Jakarta for the finals late next month? Get your tickets now before the prices start jacking up due to increasing demand. You can try both PAL and Cebu Pacific. 😉

Get ready for the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai!

This is the best year to travel to Mainland China – Shanghai in particular. The 2010 World Expo will formally open its doors to the public come May 1 and will run till October 31, 2010. Let me just say first how amazed I truly am with all the constructions that have been ongoing for the big event which is being touted as the ‘biggest world expo in history.’

See for yourself. The pictures below are just some of the international pavilions in the said expo that are nearing completion of their construction phase. The architecture of each are, quite simply, visual treats that bring new meaning to creativity.

The UK Pavilion - Workers are seen at the Seed Cathedral, part of the UK Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo site. The 20-meter-high cube-like Seed Cathedral will be covered by 60,000 slim, transparent acrylic rods, which will quiver in the breeze.

The Chinese Pavilion - The Sunny Valley and the Chinese Pavilion are seen during a light test at the 2010 World Expo site.

The South Korean Pavilion - A worker walks in front of the South Korean Pavilion in the 2010 World Expo site.

The Polish Pavilion - A migrant worker collects construction waste at the Polish pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo site.

The Luxembourg Pavilion - Workers are seen at the Luxemburger Pavilion in the 2010 World Expo site in Shanghai.

The Australia Pavilion - The Australian pavilion at the site of the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, seen on March 12, 2010.

The United Arab Emirates Pavilion - A worker scales the United Arab Emirates Pavilion at the 2010 World Expo site.

The French Pavilion - Workers are seen atop the French pavilion at the site of the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai.

The Dutch Pavilion

A trumpet-shaped structure designed to soak up the sun's rays to light up galleries and catch rain to water the green areas.

If these pictures whet your appetite and you’d like to see the actual finished structures, then better start saving up for a trip to Shanghai. You have up to the end of October, 2010 to witness these architectural marvels. Cebu Pacific gives out regular promo deals for their flights to Shanghai, as well as Philippine Airlines, China Southern Airlines and Cathay Pacific/Dragon Air.

I will surely schedule one with my mom and brother because I know they will be awe-inspired with World Expo 2010! 😉
