“And just as the Phoenix rose from the ashes, she too will rise. Returning from the flames, clothed in nothing but her strength, more beautiful than ever before.” – Shannen Heartzs My coronation night gown symbolizes all my struggles, sacrifices, and failures and how I rose up stronger, braver, and with utter determination to reach for my dreams. This is a proof that no matter what situation you are in, with a clear vision, a humble heart and a strong spirit, you can make it. ???????? Just step out in faith and ignite the fire within you. Thank you for creating my dream gown, Mommy Cary Santiago. Wearing your masterpiece from our fittings to the crowning moment made me feel like I was going to spread my wings and fly. Thank you for making this possible, Truly the BeautyQueen Maker of Cebu. Mommy Jonas Borces I remember when you told me that you will never give up on me and you never left. Thankyou for believing in me.???????? Artwork appreciation made by @illustrations_byfebb , Archibaldart #Beyondbeauty #Gaziniverse
