Elimination

ELIMINATION!
Well, I don’t really have much time to blog so here goes… I kinda expected my elimination because I had problem with my personality. I don’t regret anything at all, because I knew I stayed true to myself . Honestly, I think I did well in my photo shoot because I pushed myself during that 15mins I had. Of course nobody wants to go home, but if I could turn back time and be more outspoken, I really wouldn’t become being in a house with 11 other girls, its certainly not easy to stay true to who you are. Personally, I believe strongly in staying true to oneself and not changing for anyone or anything for that matter. I definitely enjoyed my time here, but also looking forward to going home. I’m definitely gonna carry on modeling.

When I did my interview, I realized the ONE and ONLY thing that made me feel emotional and tear is when I started talking about how strong my passion for modelling is and to know that I’ll never give up, over. Rejection is part and parcel at modelling and its just a way of life. My love for what I do is much stronger than the feeling I get when rejection comes my way. Well there’s only so little I can write right now. My last word would be; nothing’s ever gonna bring me down, I’ll always stay true to myself and what I believe in. I strongly acknowledge the fact that everything happens for a reason. Clear or not, I’ll definitely learn what that reason no matter what people have to say, because its my passion and I’ll never give up. Peace XXX

Arrival

My first day in “the next chapter” of my life have been filled with an endless amount of emotions, thoughts and feelings. Would i do well in this competition? Are the other girls going to be better than me? I mean, I know I’m beautiful, but hell, this ain’t just about beauty, this is a bout Planning and Skill. I need to win this, to do me proud!

Unlike most of the other girls, I didn’t have to fly in from anywhere, so I would really count that as a headstart… hopefully everyone else would be jet-lagged. HAHA, naaah… but really, I just hope I’d do extraordinary. Afterall, I’m Petrina.!!

So my first step was really to meet all my competition. Here comes the next wave of feelings…Awkwardness, curiousness. Do-i-have-what-it-takes-to-win thoughts. After a bit of introduction and orientation outside our wonderful villa, i kinda hit straight back to reality. Will I be able to fit in with all these girls? Are they cool like me? Realising that twelve girls in the same house might or might not be a nightmare … Well there’s only one way to find out.. and that’s LIVE THROUGH IT!

I honestly don’t know what to expect yet, but I’m excited to see where this journey takes me be it judged by others or me judging others. We’ll just wait and see who’s boss!

Beach Volleyball Task & La Perla Bikini

Hello fans! So today we were brought up to the Tanjong Beach Club. Surprise! We learnt to play Volleyball. Okay so here’s the lowdown. My hand-eye coordination is usually pretty good. Granted my legs are better, but I SUCKED at volleyball. It was sweltering hot! But I loved it!!! Our coach was pretty easy to learn from and the Beach Club grounds have a great views around. But I must admit, the heat did do my head in sometimes.

Our first photo challenge started on a Sunday morning. Started the day early as usual. And although I live in Singapore, I have never been to the location we went. It was at some huge house down at Bukit Timah Road. So run-down yet beautiful, most awesome place to shoot at. Vandalism on the wall, spiral staircase, pretty nostalgic.

I loved the hairstyle I got because it reminded me of Julia Saner’s Guess? Photoshoot for Elite. Sleek and stylish. We all got ready by 10 am but drew lots and I got number 10, so I practically had to wait till 5pm to eventually shoot. It was torturous and exhausting because you lose energy by the time it’s your turn to shoot, but you have to somehow get your self together as soon as you get on set and drive your best because 15mins is all you have. But dealing with that and handling it well is just part and parcel of a supermodel life. It isn’t as glamorous most people perceive it to be.

I am elated that I was able to give my all when it came to me and I know I gave my best and that matters most to me. It wasn’t easy, I have got admit that. Over all, I’m happy that, after the wait, I could get into the mood and produce well, hopefully. Kind of relieved that our first photo challenge is over, but everything has just started and I have to keep giving my 100% and more throughout my stay here. Peace out everyone X

Model House Life

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BROTHER!

Unfortunately I can’t wish him since I’ve got no phone. Surprisingly woke up relatively early feeling rather fresh. I was the first to shoot for the half body shot in those warehouse dresses. Had Quizzons for lunch, ‘yummy!’

Next, we moved to Geoff Studio where I’ve been to a million times for castings and shoots. Unfortunately Geoff wasn’t there when I went. We were instructed to a casual video shoot, and that is officially the best part of today because I love doing those stuff. I’ve done it before, and I watch those videos of Ashley Stymest and Pull and Bear all the time, I really love it. I think I did pretty well there. Moved back to insist studio for group shoot. This time it was the little harder because firstly, the spotlight’s not on you. And secondly, you have to be patient and try your best to stand out in a group. Hope I did well because I’m not really confident about it. Plus I don’t want to end up looking the worst when they (join all 12 of us together, because that’s where people get to see all of us and compare.

Well we got back to the house, randomly ended up talking about ghosts, telling ghosts stories and after life etc with Lynn, Tiff, Asha, Lyla, Isabelle and Jacky. It was so fun, really. After a long, tiring day, we just kind of chilled. But wait, best part has yet to come. Just as we suggested to bring the conversation downstairs, Tiff says ‘alright, one last story’. By that time, we all got up and the lights all went out instantly and just in time. I actually thought for a second it was Tiff playing a prank. But then I realise that the light switch is behind me and Tiff was opposite me. By then everyone was fucking freaking out and screaming so I grabbed Jacky and Asha, being the nearest to me. And we all screamed for a good 3 minutes. How funny was that? It was a fucking power out. My left pinkey hurts so much right now I can’t even bend it, I hope it’s not broken, haha. How it got hit, obviously while everyone was grabbing each other in darkness. I tried my best to stay awake to write this because it was a good day and I didn’t wanna account for it only tmrw or smthg. But I really gotta get to bed right now.
