there was this double deck bus, which is a famous form of transport in england. it transformed into some castle, i think. i know, right. it was so clever. man, i’m telling you, it’ll give you the creeps. then leona lewis rose out of the bus, showcasing her singing prowess along with jimmy page who’s famous for his talent in playing the guitar. then what do you know, david beckham was also there. i was really anticipating for victoria beckham. *laughs* but no, she wasn’t part of it. if only fashion is a sport. *sigh*

and man, from the very top of the bird’s nest were the fireworks. it was so awesome!!!

the closing ceremony was so awesome! there was this “Memory Tower” where acrobats were doing some spectacular stunts. they were making figures with just their bodies moving. plus their costumes added an effect on the whole act. the best figure was the logo of the beijing 2008 olympics, which was done lastly. it was really a not-miss.

can’t wait for London 2012. then Philippines 2016? you’ll never know. you’ll never know.

i can’t imagine it. Philippines being the host of the Olympics? *laughs* the only way we can host the olympics is to turn MOA into an olympic stadium. but still, i really think it’s not enough. and duh, as if we can afford to bid for the next olympics. we can’t even afford to bid for the asian games. i guess we should be contented with the sea games experience. and if ever we won in the bidding, we can’t accomodate all the olympic delegates. where will they stay? sa SOGO?!

LIGHT THE PASSION, SHARE THE DREAM – this is this year’s theme for the lighting of torch.
