This place (Seminole Florida) reminds me of Malaysia alot! The humid weather, sunny sun days🌞. I am looking forward to experience this land of liberty for the next couple of days. It’s time to #recharge and move forward! I want to also take this opportunity to thank the pageant lovers in Malaysia for all the votes, love and support you’ve shown to me. I enjoy every moment and give my all, it’s time to unwind. #MissUniverse #Hardrockholly #Seminole #Florida

Aaarrrghh... I've never been invested in supporting any of our beauty queens like this before, but l @francisca.luhong Is special because I've had the privilege of knowing what a beautiful person she is, inside out, and we seem to have established this special bond over the last year. It's D-day for her and the competition is on at 8am our time on Astro 703 Fox Channel😍 (thanks @gebrielpadan) Let's pray hard that she brings the crown home. Best of luck darling Luhong. We're rooting for you all the way🙌🏼💜 Being the first native to represent my country 🇲🇾, I hope to inspire more individuals out there that whatever you pursue in life, whenever people doubt you, know this.. you are the one who make decisions for yourself, you’re strong and ambitious, you will succeed and will reach your milestone with all the trials and success of journey you are about to face. Growing up, i was taught to appreciate my heritage. Coming from a longhouse village consists of 101 doors, coming from a mixed native parentage, and being the first in my family to take a huge step in the pageant world. I get to work and appreciate more people who i work with and their essence of being special in their own authentic ways. I learned self value, self love before loving others, humility and humanity are essential. Today and for the past couple of days being here in Florida, the only thing come cross my mind is my beloved country Malaysia and the people who believe in me and inspire by my story. I want people to believe in destiny, i want you to know we all have our own purpose in life and “We need to take up space” as @zozitunzi said it well. We are “Unbreakable” as @demitebow practice it well. I am Francisca Luhong James, and I am proud standing on the Universe stage as a native representative. @missuniverse live tonight 8pm 🇺🇸 time / 8am 🇲🇾 time. #MissUniverse #Finals #Malaysia #Sarawak #Borneo #Seminole #Hollywood #HardRockHolly Reposted from @francisca.luhong
