2008 World Pyro Olympics Day 1 China vs Germany

Published on May 4, 2008 in Fireworks. 7 Comments

I’ve been there! I’m among the fireworks loving people who made their way to watch the Day 1 of the 2008 World Pyro Olympics at the SM Mall of Asia last Saturday May 3. Like last year, the restaurants and cafes facing the esplanade were all strict in accepting customers for the event. You need to make reservations and avail their event offer. Jon and I grabbed the offer of La Mesa Grill which offered P250 per head but its consumable. We had a good spot though the little palm trees are really blocking some of the view. The food was fine - we had the mixed meat and seafood set and fresh buko juice and leche flan. Our total bill was only Php570 and it was fair enough. We only added 70 since we paid 500 already as a downpayment for the reservation. …continue reading

Pyromusical of My Immortal

Published on March 29, 2008 in Fireworks. 2 Comments

Every Friday and Saturday evening at around 7pm, a pyromusical event is held at the entertainment area of the Mall of Asia. I’ve been there and seen it live twice already. The first one was a few months ago which was in the tune of Sway. Its the best ive’ seen so far. This evening, i had the chance to watch it again since i was in MOA already. A few minutes before 7pm, we sat down on the stairway right in the middle to be able to get the perfect view of the event. The pyromusical event tonight was in the tune of My Immortal. As usual, i am always amazed with the fireworks display and all i could say is “wow”. Hehe. Good thing this time I was able to record it on video so i could watch it anytime i want to.

*Here is a copy of the video just in case anyone would want to see it :)

2008 World Pyro Olympics

Published on January 4, 2008 in Fireworks. 20 Comments

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” ;)
