This Picture taken on House of Beningborough Runway. Starting my week 4th of November, I chose to wear the Contessa gown from The Winter Ball collections which is the theme of this month.

These weeks are really busy days for me. Since I active into modeling, I always keeping up to date for the castings info and needed special time to well-prepared on every events. I already have an idea soon after I received challenge #2 task. But my busy on RL also become priority so I just can start my pictures at the end of week and send it before the deadline. Below I will attached my work. I don’t know, what is your opinion about this merged picture but I hope it already fulfill the requirements of the task I have got from Miss Refined International challenge this week.

Today I got notices from the group of House of Beningborough for the chances of the third week of November runway model. There are 25 pre-finalist have the same chance each week. I am not just glad chosen as one of their runway model, but I also glad because one of my photograph received well based on their criteria also bring me to this opportunity. Between the busy days as model, I try to provide good photographs to all contests and castings I attended. And now it succeed make me more exposed on modeling

Below is the link of week 3 runway model pre-finalist at House of Beningborough:

I do not think that I can pass this first challenge before. I submitted my WordPress blog address almost at the last seconds of the deadline. I feel relieved at the end because I have passed one of this challenge. But … other challenges already lined up for the next

I was wondering what is the next task to performed. Well … this time there are two options. The first, we asked to make a comparison photo of the Semi-Finalist MRI when they were still newbie and after joined Miss Refined International contest. Wow, this is really interesting to me and I am sure also for the other contestants

The second option is getting 10 points for the concept of blog marketing plan that we made in this challenge. And this concept must based on a clear references from one of the e-book that has suggested.

Well, the second option looks a bit difficult for me to do. Basically this is just a choice, may done both or just one of them. If I could do both, it is better I think..For some reason finally I could make this first challenge. Time remaining for the second challenge is not too much. I should able to manage my time wisely as well on my other tasks. So … let’s go!!

What is the nicest thing we can do in this life? if you ask this question to me, I would say ‘helping people’. There are many ways to do that. You would not know when someone would ask your help. Not every people really understand that this chance wouldn’t happen twice. Suppose it as gold opportunity to show your nice, to show that you can do something useful for others. So you must be ready anytime this gold opportunity come to you.

One thing need to remembered, even though you did huge helps, it does not mean you may have big hope for them to do the same thing for you. In this chance try to be a giver, not a taker. You could not imagine how do they feel. Of course they would be glad and say ‘Thanks’ to you   But it is not the word we expected to be gained. There is something deepest sense we got. That just if you really have nice heart to do these all.

Otherwise there are many other cases force you not to do this way. Not too easy to believe on others, except if you really known them long time very well or the people who you think deserve to get it. Whether they are your friends, best friends or new people you met in your life, you must consider do the offer you gold opportunity or they just cheaters. Take the right step to solve this. So far you think that you can trust them and they deserve your help, don’t worry to show your nice

These are two same words but has different meaning each. In this post I would about these words meaning for me also a bit history about my name. As the first time we registered to this virtual world, we asked to decide our first name to used in-world. That moment I just think fast for this word. But it did not mean that it is not reasonable name.

This word ‘Beauty’ came in my mind, I think it is very meaningful. It is easy to remembered, sounds universal, also has esthetic side. If you can ask almost all the women wanna be ‘beauty’  person for the honest. Moreover if you already own an avatar on virtual life, you would create them become beauty avatar or at least has the same side like your RL. But I do not think it is easy to make it become beauty avatar moreover you have that word as the part of your name. It depends on how well you could reflect it.

In this case, there is something different from in RL. People may named their children whatever they like but physically the children already has something inborn. Different than RL, in SL we could decide whatever we want to look like. It is also include your name. We can change our appearance easily for the better looks. We could do shopping adventures to many great shops in SL just by teleporting.Chosing the skin, body shape, body parts such as eyes, eyelashes, nails, the hair styles, also many different styles of the outfits. That is the freedom of SL. Every decisions are on your hands. What do you wanna be?

Hey !!….. I am not Napoleon Bonaparte from France . But yes, I use his words as the tittle of my blog. We all know these words mean “I see, I come, I win”. I saw this contest announcement on search list, I came to join it and “I win” (this words unanswered yet)…..

Always find somethings to motivate yourself. same as our life, everything must go on. No matter you have just passed the worst day in your life. The sort of challenges like MRI also required us to keep motivate ourselves, that just if you always want to stay for the next challenges. Every people have different motivations, so just asking to yourself back.

If you already owned motivations, just go on….. and do your best. we never know what would happen to us in the future. If you are sure you have done everything on the right way, then you deserve become a winner. So these words; Vini, Vidi, Vici are COMPLETED

When you have reached the last word “Vici”, you need to have new plan. The plan for your future. Every winner deserve a prizes or at least something you wish or something you pick as your goal.

In case if you (the semi-finalists) or me could win the tittle of Miss Refined International, what will you do with your prizes? Honestly, it difficult to say about the prizes. But we might planning something for future.

If I win the tittle of Miss refined International, the first thing I will do is build some development on SL modeling. Why I chose modeling as my first target? Because some of these contest challenges is doing modeling (such as the monthly casting). And this contest created by ModelPages International Modeling Agency. So I would represent my prizes back to modeling. It is a mutual circle. But in this case I would give opportunity to other type of SL jobs take part.

Modeling is not just talk about beauty woman, but it is more general than we think. It would implemented by  the SL modeling development project I meant. Possibility to invite other parts of SL occupations would help this project grow immediately. And the important purpose is giving advantages to other people, the nicest thing I could do for anyone.

But wait….. This is just a plan I made if I deserve the prize and titled as Miss refined International 2010
