Miss Venezuela..Miss Universe 2009



NASSAU, Bahamas – Miss Venezuela was the fairest of them all, again.
Venezuelan Stefania Fernandez won the 2009 Miss Universe pageant in the Bahamas on Sunday night.
Dressed in a flowing red gown, Fernandez embraced runner up Miss Dominican Republic as the announcement was made, and received the crown from last year's winner, Dayana Mendoza, of Venezuela. The sparkling tiara fell to the floor at one point, as Fernandez danced in joy.
Venezuela, a beauty-obsessed South American country, has won the Miss Universe pageant six times.
During a question-and-answer segment with the five top finalists, Fernandez said she believed women have overcome obstacles such as hitting the proverbial glass ceiling.
"I feel we have reached the level that men are at," she said.
The other top-five finalists were runner-up Ada Aimee de la Cruz, followed by Miss Kosovo, Droga Ganusha; Miss Australia, Rachael Finch; and Miss Puerto Rico, Mayra Matos Perez.
The top 15 finalists appeared in bathing suits before the final 10 were chosen for the evening gown segment.
Pageant co-owner Donald Trump told reporters, "I think this is the most beautiful group of women I've ever seen."
The televised event includes musical performances by Flo Rida, Heidi Montag, David Guetta and Kelly Rowland.
Montag gave her first live performance, singing "Body Language" from her debut album.
Fans cheered on the blond star of MTV's "The Hills," although NBC, which is broadcasting the event in the Bahamas live, blocked out more than half of her performance as they introduced the 15 finalists.
"It's my first performance live and it's in front of a billion eyes. So I'm very excited to show everyone what I'm coming with," said Montag before her performance.
Hosts are Billy Bush, co-anchor of "Access Hollywood," and Claudia Jordan, a former Miss Rhode Island USA who has appeared on several TV shows. Judges include actor Dean Cain and supermodel Valeria Mazza.
Miss China, Wang Jingyao, was named Miss Congeniality and Miss Thailand, Chutima Durongdej, won Miss Photogenic.
Many contestants have suffered from dehydration in recent weeks, and Jewel Selver, Miss Turks and Caicos, went home Saturday to recuperate, said Esther Swan, Miss Universe spokeswoman.

World Fastes Man..


Jamaica's Usain Bolt set a new world record of 9.58 seconds — also known as half a Beatles lyric — as he stormed to a spectacular victory in the Men's 100m at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin on Sunday.
The 22-year-old Bolt took control of the race after only 30 meters, shaving a ridiculous 0.11 seconds off his own world record of 9.69 seconds set a year ago at the Beijing Olympic Games.
He is fast.

Disaster Drill in Offshore..


Every Year..Saudi Aramco conducts regular Disaster Drill at Offshore.It is my first time to attend this drill at offshore and I was quite a little bit curious,excited and at same time nervous..1000HH the 110 telephone rang..the Disaster Drill begins..I have to get my equipment ready,Nurses Bag,Robert Shaw,Life Pak 12,Entonox,Radio and others.By the time we arrive at Tanajib Aviation,we have to wait for our chopper..since we are using the Augusta which is a 4 seating capacity chopper and one straight chair(on flat) for one patient only.The Disaster Drill went thru accordingly and we finished around 1110HH.There was no bad comments for the medical side during their meeting.I hope to attend more Disaster Drill in onshore and Offshore in the coming years.I learned also to be confident on myself.
