Bom dia!
Well, it was exactly 35 days when I was ceremoniously crowned (crowned, feeling beauty queen tee-hee) on that fateful night as the Havaianas Happy Soles winner. And now, I’m here I am at the Dubai International Airport, with my three friends Chico, Oona and Audie, waiting for our flight to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Earlier today, we visited the Havaianas Philippines office in Makati where we were awarded a gazillion prizes and goodies from Sony, David&Goliath and Aloha Boardsports. I am tempted to list down all the fabulous items here, but you might think I’m showing off. I will do just that in the next couple of days, wait and see. :-)
The happy people from Havaianas Philippines gave us our travel itinerary, ticket, pocket money, a kiss and a hug before dropping us off at NAIA for our flight to Dubai.
You would think that with all the massive evidence that we ARE really going to Brazil that it has all sunk in already. No, it hasn’t, not even this piece of paper seems convincing enough:

I don’t know what it will take for me to finally believe that we’re really going on this once in a lifetime trip. Maybe my first whiff of Brazilian air, some 16 hours later.
Cheers,
Farrah
