Rabiya’s full post:
“I can’t believe it’s been one week already. For those who were asking how am I, you have nothing to worry. I’m enjoying my mini vacay here in the US. Just few more days and I’ll be working again.
“This orange gown was my gift to Iloilo City. The details at the bottom is connected to Dinagyang festival which we celebrate every January. I was waiting for that moment, I’ve been trying to imagine myself walk in this gown if ever I enter the top 10. It didn’t happen but I am still blessed. It was heartbreaking at first but I realize every girl in the competition also made sacrifices and it’s all about destiny. That night wasn’t meant for me.
