Winter Olympics

I've been a big fan of the Olympics even if I'm not a big fan of sports. I really don't know why I watch it. Maybe it's the dazzling opening and closing ceremonies or the amazing feats of athleticism... I really don't know why I am drawn to this event but I always take the time to watch the Summer Games and it has been a dream of mine to witness the winter version of it.

And now thatI am here in the USA, my dream has finally come true. For the first time ever in my life, I have been able to watch the Winter Olympic Games.

Now as I come from a tropical country, we rarely get to witness any winter sport. The closest I've come to watching winter sports is when there are some figure skaters practicing at the rink in SM Southmall. So it is very exciting to get to watch all these winter sports. It's a particular pleasure to watch the ice dancing and speed skating competitions...

But last Sunday, the Winter Olympics came to an end. While I haven't been able to watch the Games everyday (and I missed the opening ceremony! so sad) like what I did with the Athens Summer Olympics, it was still very satisfying. I hope I'll get the chance to watch the Winter Games again. Maybe I'll go to Canada in 2010...
