2008 World Pyro Olympics

The 2008 World Pyro Olympics fireworks competition is back again to amaze everyone. I recently got an email from my officemate about it. Searching on google, i know i’m late again. The news has been up already for quite some time. But anyway, i’m glad i still learned about it weeks before it starts as i could already start managing my schedule. Last year, i was able to watch only one event and i was on BayWalk that time, so imagine how far i am while watching it. But anyway, i hope this time i could watch it closer. My officemates are planning that we watch it all together after having dinner in MOA then go for a road trip again afterwards. hehe. I love watching fireworks displays. It always make look like a child watching it with amazement, smiling, and always saying “wow” ;)

Start: Mar 29, ‘08
End: Apr 26, ‘08
