Five days after the opening of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the Philippines is still at the bottom of the pit with a grand total of 0 medals! This is a HUGE improvement over the 2004 Olympics in Athens where we managed to bag 9 medals (2 silvers and 7 bronze)! I feel ecstatic already.

When an office mate of mine told me that whoever gets the first gold medal in the 2008 Olympics was going to get 5 million pesos, a house and lot, and a car, I thought hey, that’s a good thing. No problem, right? Now all we have to do is get that gold medal.

I just got back from watching the PPV fight at Glorietta with mixed feelings. I was very happy that our “Pambansang Kamao” Manny Pacquiao won the match. However, the fight left me feeling that something was missing. Perhaps it was because the fight did not end in a KO or TKO. Perhaps it was because of what happened during the 11th round.

Every Filipino who watches the UAAP knows how intense these matches can be, especially during the finals and most especially if your alma mater is one of the contenders. So, I was pleasantly surprised when Greg showed me this page on the Krispy Kreme Philippines website showing four different donuts in four different colors representative of each team in the final four: Ateneo, La Salle, UE, and UST.
