August 27th, 2008 — Beijing Paralympic Games
In ten days, the Beijing Paralympic Games will begin. I hope to blog about it of course and I hope that no unscheduled projects will come my way so that — unlike the Olympics that just passed — I can do the blogging regularly.
Who’s the athlete to watch in the Paralympic Games? I’m not sure if my kailiyan from the boondocks, Adeline Dumapong is going to the Games but she’s a force to reckon with in powerlifting.

What do you think of the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony? Spectacular, eh? The parade of nations went on and on and on but I don’t think we can blame anyone for that. I was planning to put up a poll to get your feedback on the opening ceremonies but Blogger went crappy once again and wouldn’t allow me to save the poll. Darn!

Not sure what to say about the above video because I don’t understand the language. But here’s a report from newamericamedia:
A 50-second reporting piece on the Olympics and the earthquake from the Chinese Central Television (CCTV) might have been staged. The post on the Chinese-language website has a Youtube link to the story, which describes how Olympic torch bearers have donated to the earthquake relief efforts.

May 2nd, 2008 — Beijing Olympics, France, Heptathlon, Long Jump
Eunice Barber’s quote of the day:
I am against the boycott, I am against the badge. Boycott is not for the athletes. What we have to boycott are the people signing million of euros in business contracts. France has no lesson to give to China. There are so many Blacks and Arabs who get burnt up in France and the so-called humanitarians don’t stand up (for them).Do you understand these people who call themselves humanitarians and who are violent with those carrying the torch?
