last friday (yup olympic opening night) i had dinner with some HSBC people.. it was an entertaining night.. with me providing much of the entertainment.. kwentuhan and puro updates about the office people and well remembering the "good?" old times.. unfortunately i needed to miss the BIG opening..
well i could sum up my dinner as entertaining and frustrating.. it was fun catching up and learning about the happenings after i left.. the camaraderie is still there even if they would talk about the new people.. pero the worst tlga when one of them said na mukhang mas magaling na sa kin yung pumalit sa kin.. kaya parang di na daw nila ako nammiss!!!!!!!! insensitive brute!! anyway.. other than that and remembering that im a stupid girl.. the dinner was alright.. Jon even unexpectedly hugged me when we met..
back to the opening which iam currently watching (at my lunch break).. what struck me other than the extravangance (which is opposite the well known frugality of Chinese people.. is the fact that all the performers of the big production ones(theres hundreds of them.. im not sure if 2008 people din sila) all of them seems so happy.. none of them gets the spotlights alone.. what with lots of them out at the same time.. but they are doing it unselfishly for China and not for themselves.. amazing.. you could see the dedication and pride in just being there..
oops lunch break's over...

2008 people were participating in the first performance (yung drums) They said that there are about 150,000 performers in the entire opening ceremonies. grabe noh? tapos sobrang pantay pantay pa tlaga silang lahat. joke namin kung may isang nagkamali, tsam tao! hehe
