It has been 10 years since you won the Miss World crown, how has this decade been?

It's been wonderful and really, really full in terms of experiences. I say wonderful because I look at everything positively -- good, bad, ugly. Everything is for a reason and as long as it contributes to growth and not a degeneration then I think it's wonderful and positive.

That's the way I've given to all my experiences and taken from them through the decade, professionally or personally.

I'm very thankful truly to god for blessing me with the ability to find the core of strength or possitivity to be able to move from one experience to the other without getting carried away or bogged down.
