i told myself that i'll never let this day end without making a new post. today is august 8, 2008 or 08/08/08. the chinese consider it to be a very lucky day but i don't intend to go on explaining more about it. i'm sure a lot of people got married as well as a lot of new businesses opened today. just as my classmate opened a new laundry shop. free laundry, anyone? :p
what do you know? they also officially opened the beijing olympic games today! i'm watching their ceremonies right know and i cant understand a word they're saying.. :) i heard that the philippines will only be sending 15 athletes to compete in 8 different sport discplines of the beijing 2008 olympics? WHAT THE?! what about the other competitions??? volleyball? basketball? is that true? i didn't believe it of course so i researched.. and i found this article- Philippines Olympic Athletes call on president. how sad.. i strongly believe that the government should improve their efforts in supporting the filipino athletes. i still believe that we have a lot of potential.
i also heard that manny pacquiao was chosen to be the flag bearer.. why? i have nothing against manny. i know he's really a great boxer and has given great pride to our country but isn't he a pro? aren't flag bearers supposed to be olympians also? oh well.. i dunno.. may be it's just me.

Today is also memorable for me because it was my first time to play indoor badminton with some fellas. i didn't expect that i would suck that bad!! haha.. my average score is 2 vs my opponent's 15.. and she's still a beginner! oh i suck really bad!! but that didn't stop me from wanting to improve. i want more! may be i can play again somewhere in QC. i think it's cheaper there.
aside from badminton i also want to try other sports such as table tennis, basketball and boxing. i want to be more active and physically fit. i think im starting to become addicted to sports and fitness. i started jogging and currently frequent the gym whenever i have time. it's exhilirating! exercise, indeed, helps relieve stress. i have no time left to be bored. :)
