*MVW ~ Miss Hong Kong*

Last year, when I entered House of Beningborough contest, I met a wonderful girl in SL, Carilynn:) We’ve been friends since then and today, she is one of the most important friend in my life, SL or RL. One day, she told me: “We should enter MVW next year! We may not be picked, but let’s try!” And I was thinking… ok, she is crazy:)

During this time, Miss Virtual World Academy opened and we enrolled and we were able to graduate. As graduates of MVW academy, we are automatically pre-finalists and could enter the MVW auditions.

My dearest friend Carilynn, who is as gorgeous inside as out, got into MVW and became Miss. Ireland! I was so so so happy for her!!!! I knew that I still had long ways to go, but thanks to her constant support and encouragement, I did not give up. And after 5 months of changing skins, shapes, and styling, I finally got in!!!

I would had loved to represent Japan as I am half japanese, but since another fellow Agata model had chosen Japan, I chose Hong Kong (thank you Cari!) as Hong Kong is one of the most international places in the world, and that is certainly how I feel, being half Japanese, Swedish, trilingual, and been traveling around the world in my past.

I am truly grateful to the judges for giving me this wonderful opportunity, but I am the luckiest girl in SL/RL for having wonderful friends such as Carilyn, Sora, Rena, Marry, Mina, Jinx, and many more, who have helped me all the way!

MVW has barely begun and it will be hectic, hard work, and a great challenge till December, but I am determined to do my best and go as far as I can, push myself through my own limitations, to become a better model, and meet and gain new wonderful friends!

Thank you!
