January 1, 2014 4:24am

Another Filipina won an international beauty title in the last hours of 2013.

Mutya ng Pilipinas Tourism International Angeli Dione Gomez was crowned Miss Tourism International 2013/2014 Tuesday night, Malaysia's New Straits Times reported.

"The first thing I plan to do is to meet my family whom I have not [seen] for about one month and have a nice breakfast with them tomorrow," Gomez said after winning the title.

Gomez, 20, aspires to be a film director. But as she reigns as Miss Tourism International, she will be a traveling ambassador and promote informal international relations among countries.

Sunidporn Srisuwan from Thailand was the first runner-up and Miss Tourism Queen of 2013/2014.

Malaysia's Sarah Czarnuch was second runner-up and Miss Metropolitan 2013/2014, while Dominican Republic's Michelle Alexis Torres was fourth and was also Miss Tourism Global International 2013/2014.

Malaysia representative Thaarah Ganesan won fifth place and is Miss Tourisn Cosmopolitan International 2013/2014.

The Miss Tourism International's website said the pageant was the only New Year's Eve pageant participated in by 30 international beauty queens.

It was first held in Sarawak, Malaysia in 1994 and "serves as a platform to educate and promote tourism and cultural exchange among the participating beauty queens." — DVM, GMA News

Ken says : This is the 3rd time a Filipina won the most anticipated annual pageant held in Malaysia, and not to mention they also won the previous year event.

Rizzini was one of my most favourite contestant and I'm quite surprised for her victory. However, what saddened me is that she never graced the billboards Nathalie of Netherland has doned before her. Why did nobody in Malaysia acknowledge such beauty? Making her a brand ambassador and putting her face and figure on the advertisement will definitely enlightened the mutual spirits between the two countries.

Therefore, why dont we make Angeli graced the Malaysian billboards?

'Zombie Car' abandoned in China street, overgrown with ivy

By Ed Flanagan, Producer, NBC News

BEIJING – Residents on a street in China finally said good riddance Friday to a car, almost completely engulfed by foliage, which has become a social media sensation since it was abandoned a year ago.

The old, blue-colored van was dubbed ‘Zombie Car’ by social media users after it was reportedly left by its owner in a parking space on Peace Road in Huayang village, Sichuan province sometime in 2012.

In China, abandoned cars are known colloquially as “jiangshiche,” or “zombie cars.” But the Huayang example, hidden almost completely by leaves, quickly became the most famous zombie car in China, with pictures circulated on social media.

Police tried to remove the vines, but they were so thick and thorny that it was decided the vehicle should be towed away with the green foliage in place – a bizarre sight for other drivers.

Officials used the license plate to identify the original owner, Wang Ping. He told police he had sold the vehicle three years ago but couldn’t remember anything about the buyer.

“This is definitely an authentic creepy zombie car… why is it so scary??!!” wrote one user on China’s twitter-like service, Weibo, “Maybe I’ve just watched too many zombie movies.”

“This zombie car is so cool, we cannot even recognize it as a car,” gushed another commenter, “I thought it was a wall covered with vines!!”

NBC News’ Chenyue Zhu and Pei Huang contributed to this report.
