If I already expect this to be spectacular, the whole opening ceremony is beyond believable. Not only is this creative on a large scale, but also it is quite educational. With help of host who deliberates the story behind each performance, I felt as if i have learned about major Chinese culture all over again.
This might sound shallow if i say it, but what moves me is not the educational aspect. Rather, it is their incredible choreography ties in with precision of movement, all on a massive scope that literally takes my breath away.
If teamwork is tough, think about difficulty coordinating a huge group of 2008. That is 2008 drummers, 2008 Tai Chi Masters, 2008 dancers all moving in unity to deliver this stunning presentation on the stage. This is the kind of coordination beyond imaginable, even so in a 1.3 billion country, possessing unlimited labor resource like China.
What may seem an hour performance, there is no doubt that months of preparation and countless rehearsal must have invested in this event. I applaud to those who made this opening ceremony possible, as well as athletes who are out there of presenting their country next two weeks.

so this is how it feels like to be in pain
We all try to stay safe, but accident happens once in a while.
When accident happens, at least we can hope for is to have one great story to brag about. Unfortunately, most accidents happen for stupid reasons, and I believe mine can top that list today.
so I already had this sore spot on my lower back after a long nap last Friday. After a few days without fully getting better, I figure i could twist and unwind that sore muscle a little.
Unwind too much, maybe?
When I was stretching in the bathroom this morning, i hit a spot that stuck gold and really made it worse. While I yawn like this every single day, i have never managed to cause this much damage.
How did this happen I am not sure completely sure, but now I know for a fact that I move around like a grandma. To add salt in my wounds, I had to use to my heating pad to in the middle of summer to smooth away the pain. As annoying as this might sound, somehow i felt "smoothing" somewhat after this steamy treatment.
Give me more heat, please...
