Full-Flavored Delights Fit for a Queen

I really must have been Italian in my past life (a past life reading confirmed this way back) because I love Italian food such as pasta and pizza...especially pizza!

Premium All-Meat Tuscani Pizza and Fettuccine a la King Pasta

The new Pizza Hut Supremo Tuscani Pizza

Whenever I would crave for pan pizzas, Pizza Hut is my definite destination. Something about the crust and the melted mozzarella makes pizza irresistible to me, more so when Pizza Hut began introducing innovations. From offering the usual toppings and flavors, Pizza Hut began to experiment and have come up with crazy and bold ideas that were translated into delicious pizzas. Since the plain old pizza crusts were usually left uneaten, Pizza Hut then became more creative and introduced pizzas with "improved" cheese or sausage-filled crust -- from Stuffed Crust to Sausage Stuffed, Cheesy Pops to Sausage Pops and the more recent Cheesy Volcanoes -- making eating pizza more fun and flavorful for kids and adults alike. No wonder Pizza Hut has stayed strong all these years despite the fierce competition in the pizza market.

Because they cannot sit on their glory, Pizza Hut unveiled yet another batch of delightfully delicious pizzas. Introducing the Tuscani Pizza, described as "simple yet abundant, thin yet full-flavored," words that may well describe the young life and achievements of its endorser, Miss Universe 2011 third runner-up Shamcey Supsup. Thinner than ever yet bursting with flavors, Pizza Hut's Tuscani Pizza comes in a variety of exciting tastes -- Supremo, Premium All-Meat, 3-Cheese Bacon and Spinach, Gourmet BBQ Chicken and Roast Beef.

At the bloggers meet and greet with Shamcey Supsup, the beauty queen revealed that even though she is slim, she loves to eat and she prefers food that are full-flavored like the Tuscani Pizza, her favorite being the 3-Cheese Bacon and Spinach variant. "I love the soft and chewy crust that is just ideal and not too oily. Pizza hut's Tuscani Pizza's slightly crispy crust is just the right thickness that's easy to hold and doesn't overpower the rich flavors of the delightful toppings."

Pizza Hut's Marketing Manager, Edgar Allan Caper, was also at the event and explained that the Tuscani Pizza line was borne out of careful research and sensitivity to the Filipino's changing tastes. "We came up with this product because the Filipino consumer palate has evolved and is constantly looking for more flavorful pizzas." Pizza Hut's new Tuscani Pizza come in 10-inch medium size and 14-inch super family size.

Pizza Hut began here in the Philippines in 1984 after Philippine Pizza, Inc. bought the franchise. For more information, visit Pizza Hut's website at www.pizzahut.com or be a fan of Pizza Hut on Facebook.

Shamcey's Tsunami Walk

I don't monitor every beauty pageant, whether local or international, except for the Miss Universe pageant due to a habit, or shall I say tradition, that was formed back in high school. For those who don't remember, the Miss Universe pageant happens every summer (here in the Philippines at least) on the merry month of May. Back in those days, my best friend and I would go to the CCP complex to do some running and biking from 6 to 8 am. We girls then hurry back to either my house or her house to watch the live telecast of Miss Universe together. Sometimes the pageant happens exactly on my bff's birthday so it was doubly fun. Now that she lives in another country, I still monitor the live telecast wherever I am and try to watch the replay in the evening.

2011 Miss Universe 3rd Runner-up Shamcey Supsup

On the day of the 2011 Ms. Universe pageant, I was attending a business conference. While listening to the top calibre speakers in the event, I was monitoring the Miss Universe pageant as it progress to various levels. Thank goodness for Twitter where almost everybody was twitting updates from the pageant happening in Brazil. Things started to get exciting as Shamcey was called the Top 16, then Top 10, then Top 5.

Everyone was so focused on Miss Philippines especially during the Q&A portion where Shamcey was asked this question by Vivica Fox, "Would you change your religious beliefs to marry the person that you love? Why or why not?" Shamcey answered, "If I had to change my religious beliefs, I will not marry the person that I love because the first person that I love is God, who created me. And I have my faith, my principles, and this is what makes me who I am. And if that person loves me, he should love my God too." without even batting an eyelash and without the need for an interpreter. Hello! English is a universal language and it has been the universal language for ages now -- so why can't the other contestants learn it before they start representing their countries in an international pageant? Please don't get me wrong, I'm just asking.

Anyway, the point of this blog entry is the now famous "tsunami walk" of Shamcey Supsup. It was said that Miss Universe 2011 third runner-up was told by her Columbian trainer “O, Ms. Philippines you walk like a tsunami” as her hips sway when she does a catwalk. Bb. Pilipinas Universe and personality development instructor Abbygale Arenas de Leon affirmed that Shamcey's Tsunami Walk is a “unique catwalk skill,” a talent that, according to her, enables Shamcey to “detach” her hips from her body, creating a sort of wavy sway. Below is a video I borrowed from YouTube, showing Miss Universe third runner-up Shamcey Supsup's Tsunami Walk.

Congratulations to Shamcey for placing in the prestigious Miss Universe 2011 pageant. You made Philippines proud and you have inspired us Filipinas with your beauty, brains, wit and grace.
