She may have not brought home the international crown but Valerie Weigmann is still a woman of the world that Filipinos are greatly proud of.
To laud her for the impressive job she has done representing the Philippines in London, let’s recall some of her heartwarming and noteworthy quotes that she shared via her Facebook page.
On ending an adventure: “Journeys end so that new ones may begin.”
On travel: “One of my biggest dreams is to… travel the world and to capture moments and people that will never be forgotten.”
On friendships: “Even the bumpiest road feels so much shorter when shared with people who care.”
On family: “My family has always been my life's core… They wanted me to appreciate different places, cultures, people and to always be curious of new things. My dad always made sure to treat the people we meet during our travels the way he wanted to be treated. It shouldn't matter where they come from or what their lot in life is, we are all essentially the same but different in superficial but interesting ways.”
On interacting with people: “It's a refreshing way to see different places and experience different cultures. The best part is that my curiosity and interest in people's lives allow me to learn about their stories and their goals in life, which inspires and pushes me even further… making me appreciate life even more each day.”
On love: “Love for me is the essence of life. We find beauty when there is none. We seek hope when we're devastated. It is a driving force that keeps us going positive, determined and real. It is a general concept that binds all our ideas together. We wake up each day looking forward to the next thing we must do. And it's all because of love.”
