UPDATE :I just got an update from my friend Noemi that the organizers of WPO have decided to postpone the rest of the fireworks show to a later date early next year. Ticket holders are requested to contact WPO hotline 568-6908 / 384-0239 or log on to their website for more details.

This week was the start of the World Pyro Olympics 2009 held at the Fort Open Grounds, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. I always wanted to attend this spectacular display of fireworks, however the past years venue was at the Mall of Asia, which is quite far from where we reside. This year was no excuse for me, as soon I knew about the schedule, I immediately blocked it off my calendar and thanks to a blogger friend, Noemi, I was able to watch it for free. Thanks so much Noemi and also to the organizers of WPO for making the venue more accessible this year!

The kids enjoyed it as well. Even as the skies shed down its tears, it did not dampen their spirits. We enjoyed snacks prior to the show. For this Saturday, it was Germany and China’s schedule to dazzle us with their fireworks and musical scores.

Although the skies were filled with clouds, I was able to shoot some photos good enough for posting here. I guess I’m still lucky that there were still photos that turned out okay. Out of a more than hundred shutter clicks, only a handful was satisfactory.

If you’ll notice, clouds are covering most of the fireworks. When it was time for China’s show, the rains poured really hard but I was unfazed. With my daughter holding the umbrella, I continue to shoot… just like a pro! just wishing :-) I was one with my kids as I enjoyed the greatest show on Earth.
