APED: Speech

My name is Simone, I am poor. I work really hard to earn my daily bread. I don't remember when I got myself a pair of new denims.

I still use my old faded denims with torn pockets. Eons back, the denim I have was a pride in my closet, with rhinestone studded pockets. I used to live in a lovely brownstone house. I lost my parents to an accident 8 years back.

I was alone, and lost then. I didn't know what to do.

I walked down to the river that flows through my town, I wanted to jump off that bridge, and go away to my parents, I stood  there crying for a long time.

Then I turned to go to my home, that had an "On Sale" board. It broke my heart. I was born in this house, I have seen my parents love bloom in this house. this house was my heart.

Bu, I was too broken inside to think about anything then, I didn't have my parents, I was dropped out of school, I didn't have no money, now soon I wouldn't have a house.

That's when I stumbled upon this chance, 

Thank you judges for choosing me. I didn't want to win for fame. I wanted o win to buy my brownstone house. I wanted to win to buy back my memories in that house.

Thank you

- I am Simone. I am the winner of Miss Universe 2088

APED: Pirates

This image only reminds me of "Pirates"

Cheers to my mates, for we have the loot
Toast to the pirates, and their shiny rewards

This is what I have always  loved, Pirates life for me,
The treasure, is the reward for thou and thee

Cheers to my mates, My villany, larceny.

I lower my hat for the shipmates lost to the sea,
Maybe they were not meant to be

I am the devil, the black sheep, the scoundrel of this batch
How proud I am to wear this eye patch

Cheers to my mates, Its a Pirates life for me
