as I said, sana sa AKTV-13 na lang nila pinalabas yun closing ceremonies kung puputulin na lang nila ang live telecast. they didn't say na matutuloy pala ang morning show.

Tama ka dyan! Wow!mukhang exciting tong presentation ng Brazil.. In complete contrast sa London Olympics...

[ЅUX2BÜ]

Just love how the boring mood changes to a very exciting, upbeat and 'nakakakilabot' Brazilian atmosphere.

[god_of_all]

I enjoyed the closing ceremonies. Kahit maiksi lang yung sa SG segment, enjoy pa rin! See you guys in Rio in 4 years...

[sexybod]

Bakit may taong puro reklamo? Di na lang i-enjoy yung experience. Pooper much. haha!

[ceedee]

I expect a Mardi Gras theme festive opening ceremonies in Rio in 4 years time. and I'm sure it will be the most colorful and enjoyable one. See yoiu in Rio...

"We made the London Games..."

Yes Britains you did! What a wonderful opening and closing ceremony you showed the world, actually, everything. I don't want to make comparison, but i love everything bout the London Games 2012, basta everything haha. One of Olympics' theme opening kasi talaga is how a person in the host country or the country hosting influenced and influencing the world. You gave us a spectacular opening, forging rings, mr Rowan Atkinson, Mary Poppings, the big Voldemort, JK Rowling, those influences in music and literatures, etc, the world is thankful for those, Great Britain.


So guys kamusta mga bet nyo sa Olympics?


We all know that we support our countrymen who fought hard and their heart out to win a medal, but aside from them, how about the other athletes from other countries?

Here's mine.

1. Novak Djokovic - daym hahaha! I wasn't expecting he ended up nothing. He gave his best, i know he's a good contender for the gold, and i thought it's between Roger and him since wala si Nadal. Hahaha! But Del Potro, lakas! He is my bet for men's singles gold!


2. Roger Federer - since Nole was ousted, i swear my vote is for Roger! I don't like Andy hahaha idk why. I'm sorry if im saying this but the Roger vs Del Potro match semis was the 200% Roger Federer, in the finals i think he shipped Wawrinka. Sarcastic. Yeah easy smash he can't even!!!! Ugh dont want to say anything na

3. Maria Sharapova - other players were so mainstream, let Maria win! But she didn't. Well, she has plenty of Olympic years to make a gold. Silver is good though =))

4. Taufik Hidayat (BADMINTON) - 2004 Olympic gold medalist and 2005 World Champion, first ever man who won both titles. Legend. I'm looking up to him since 2002. I know he didn't make it in Beijing, and this London Games he said that he will retire na, depends. So im vying for him to win but it seems, it doesn't end the way it is. Tinalo siya ng karibal nya na 2008 Olympic Champ na si Lin Dan sa quarterfinals pa talaga. BADTRIP!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA

5. Thomas Daley - household name right, should i say anything more? i was expecting more of Navarro, McCormick, but they dint qualify for finals. Bronze is a history for TeamGB anyway <3


So in short, no one got a Gold medal in my bet list. Sports celebrities i didnt include it, they're too famous to make more Golds. How about yours?
