World Pyro Olympics is RP’s event of the year
The World Pyro Olympics on Dec. 26-30 at the Esplanade in Pasay City is as much a celebration of the great tradition of fireworks as it is a pyrotechnic competition.
Fireworks are a centuries-old Chinese invention and began more as a religious belief than source of entertainment. The sound that a firecracker made was so loud that the Chinese believed them to fend off evil spirits. This is the reason why New Year celebrations are always marked by the fireworks or by making loud noises with trumpets or by banging on pots and pans.
Today, pyrotechnics has come a long way from its origins in terms of innovations. At the WPO, the Philippines single largest event of the year, will showcase some of the newest developments in the pyrotechnic industry such as nautical shells that explode over the surface of the water (which can only be seen up close) and combination shells that mix several effects together in one blast.
This mammoth event is brought to you by the Department of Tourism, the Department of Transport and Communication, the Philippine Tourism Authority, Philippine Reclamation Authority, the City of Pasay, SM, Jollibee and Pepsi.

World Pyro Olympics
The World Pyro Olympics has already started last night.It was a BLAST! China and Australia put up a really good show. Thousands flocked to the Esplanade, Bay Area to witness this world-class event. The last time I witnessed a fireworks display as grand as this was during the 2002 Fireworks Olympics.
Going in and out ogf the Esplanade is quite a challenge. Looking for aparking slot is like finding a needle in a haystack. What I did was to walk from Roxas Blvd. down to the Esplanade at the back of SM Mall of Asia. Twas very tiring. very, very tiring. But it was really worth it!
Hopefully I can post my photos soon. I still have a lot of things to finish…

WOW Philippines Website Hacked!
Another case of Anti-Government attack. This time, it’s the turn of Wow Philippines. I have yet to contact a Chinese friend to interpret the message written in Chinese. Click on the screenshot to enlarge.

Oh, yeah, Chrsitmas is over, but the fun and the cool breeze is still here! I was in Talisay, Batangas last Christmas Eve. The place is soo cold! This place is overlooking the Taal Volcano. ‘Twas a very Happy Christmas indeed. I was with my sister Ging, and Arthur.
December 25, we went to Tagaytay City. Taking photographs here, and there. I went back to Manila last night. the bus ride was quite uneventful except for some minor jitters.
Today, December 26, I FINALLY GOT MY STARBUCKS PLANNER!!! whooooohooo.
Later tonight, Ging, Art, and I will be going to the Esplanade for the World Fireworks Olympics. My cameras are ready. I have already made enough reasearch about fireworks photography. And i have also made enough actual fireworks shoot. Good luck to me… hehe
I will be posting my photographs when I have the time.. hopefully before the New Year!!!
