北京欢迎你

August is just around the corner and it's going to be an exciting month! Aside from it being my birth month, it's the Beijing Olympics month!!



8 days from now on 08.08.08 at exactly 08:08:08 pm, the 2008 Summer Olympics opening ceremony will begin. I'm 100% sure it's going to be one spectacular event!! On that day and at that time, I will be here in Manila watching Cinderella at the CCP. I'll just ask one of my friends to record the opening ceremonies so I could watch it after.

I've stopped hoping for a miracle that I will be in Beijing for the Olympics and besides, I wouldn't want my Cinderella tickets to go to waste. =P

Anyway, my sister called me today and told me to listen to the Beijing Olympics theme song in youtube. She said that it was a beautiful song and that I would like it. I did like it! It's a Chinese song (obviously!) entitled "Beijing Welcomes You" (北京欢迎你) featuring various Chinese artists, most of which I don't recognize. The song is quite long (over 6 mins) but it carries a beautiful melody and a nice message. The song was also performed during the 100 days countdown event in China.

These are exciting times for Beijing. Wouldn't you want to be there during the Olympics?

Summer Olympics is just around the corner

I saw this billboard along EDSA yesterday while on my way to work. It was a gloomy Monday morning and seeing this cheered me up a bit.

I know what you guys are thinking. No, it's not the girl with the bikini on that cheered me up but the 08.08.08 sign above. That's the start of the much awaited and controversial Beijing Olympics. It's only a few months from now and I hope it will be a peaceful Olympics.

Too bad we don't have Solar Sports on SkyCable. =(

Beijing Olympics

8/8/7 - It's exactly one year from now before the Beijing Olympics. I'm excited because it's going to be held at my favorite place in the world, Beijing!

I hope I get the chance (read: if I have the money) to be there when it happens. I'd love to watch the games live. I'm sure it would be so much fun. I also want to see how Beijing will look like by then. The last time I was there (2006), a lot of construction was still going on.

Oh well.. I'll just hope that come this day next year I will be blogging about the Olympics live from Beijing! hehe..
