2nd World Pyro Olympics
Yes!!! I was able to schedule for tonight to watch the 2nd World Pyro Olympics.Last time, we were able to watch all the participants who joined the 1st World Pyro Olympics last December 2005. And I was able to predict that Australia would be the winner. For this year, at least, I would be able to watch even for one night. Would have preferred to watch the first night as Australia, the defending champion, would be performing. But, the schedule won't fit.
So today, have to breeze through the following:
1) Send car to Honda for its preventive maintenance.
2) Bring computer to computer shop to check the noise I hear when I open it. (I suspect it is the auxilliary fan.)
3) Bind my niece's assignment.
4) Pick-up my car.
5) 2nd World Pyro Olympics.
When we arrived at the Esplanade where we can view the fireworks display, there are already a lot of people lining the wall of Manila Bay (not counting those at the SM Mall of Asia also waiting for the show). Good thing, we were able to find a place to position ourselves as three teenagers and a lady allowed us to share their space. (Thanks so much!!!)
While waiting for the show to begin, spend the time chatting. Unlike last year, there is no more band or acrobats performing on stage while we wait for the fireworks display. (As if we would leave our "space" at the wall.) The first to perform that night is United States of America (at 8:30PM) and Spain (at 10:00PM)
United States of America
Spain
There were lots of oohs and aahhhs. I wonder how the people reacted when the defending champion, Australia, performed last night...
As soon as the second participant finished their presentation, a mass of people left that place. Everyone seems decided to have their very late dinner. Almost all of the restaurants at the SM Mall of Asia are full, with a lot of people waiting for their table. Since our car is parked at Blue Wave, we decided to have our dinner there. Surely, there would be fewer people dining there?
So, it's Shakey's for us at Blue Wave that night. When we arrived at Shakey's, there is already a family waiting for a table (we are second on the waiting list). They have been waiting for a loooonnnng time. That's when we noticed a couple at a table who already finished their dinner and all they do is talk (see picture of the inconsiderate couple). And I was not the only one who noticed the two as the other family are also reacting. Given that it's already almost 11-11:30PM, everyone is hungry. Since they have kids, the other family already ordered food and eating the pizza (standing) at the counter. And the inconsiderate couple? Dead-ma!
(We were already half-way to our dinner--finally got a seat--and the couple is still there while there are still people waiting to be seated.)
