MISS WORLD KENYA SEMI FINALS BOOTCAMP: DAY ONE

The countdown is on. By Sunday morning we will have been cut down from 47 to 24. 24 of the best, the best of the best of the Country’s most beautiful women.

Midnight of the 30th Day of September 2014 is the time we get into the resort. Name: Sun n Sand Resort in Kilifi of the Kenyan coast. It is beautiful, Nay; that is an understatement. Heavenly is more like it. The rooms are super spacious, save for the amazing roommate I have: Miss Machakos County whose name is Idah. By the time we are allocated our rooms, have had dinner followed by a brief meeting, it already of 2:45a.m. By the time we are done showering and into our beds, 3:00 am. And you know what? By 6:00 am we should be at the beach jogging and stretching.

As I type this, I am so worn out I can hardly position my keys well on the keyboard. Woke up by 6:00 am (some of the girls could not make it and slept through the intense workout session) was in class for our Etiquette session by 9:00 am courtesy of our chaperone Roselyn through to around midday for another theory session on Modelling 360 courtesy of former Mr. Kenya Odada Okello then after lunch, stepped into the practical catwalks session lasting till around 7:00 pm courtesy of Mike who is an acclaimed model in Kenya. Oh and ladies and gentlemen, we have all been in heels from *wait for it* 7:00 a.m. in the morning!!

Having slept for less than three hours especially after a gruesomely long drive of 12 hours to the beautiful Kenyan coast, I believe we all agree on just how much we are all passionate. I personally am. I actually wanted to hit the gym this evening try and tone my lower body but boy! Who am I kidding, I can barely lift a plate. This is indeed going to be an experience of a lifetime: a trail of trials and tests especially on endurance, character and grace. I can only pray to God that I can achieve this. I have really wanted this for a long time: my big break, my chance at giving back, my chance to change my country and the world, one county at a time. The future, my future is entirely in God’s hands and somewhat in mine as well as yours. Please remember to vote vote and vote some more. Within Kenya, send the text: Miss Laikipia County to 22019 and without, go to the website www.missworldkenya.com and vote for me.

Out of the 24, 12 will be picked via social media and the other 12 will be courtesy of the judges.  Just from having my measurements taken, Gah! Of course I had to be among the shortest girls here at 5’6 making it worse I am also in the upper half of the somewhat curvaceous ones having hip size of 38. Oh well, let’s see what this boot camp has in store for me. God, I really need you in on this. Amen

Blessings and Love from the Coast,

Nyandia.
