The 888 thingy that says is a good luck doesn’t apply to our Philippine team again.we didn’t bagged any gold medal once again. oh wait, there is one filipino who were able to bring a gold medal but was not on the Olympics category games which is the Wushu demonstration!
Closing ceremony highlights David Beckham by kicking off to the olympic athletes his soccer ball which marks the handover of the Olympics 2012 Olympics being held in London, England.
We do hope that we’ll be able to take home gold medal this time as we Filipinos are hungered by it for the past years now… And I guess the government needs to focus on our athletes needs for them to regain their pride and strength for our country’s gain as well.

A little trivia of their mascots:
The Official Mascots of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, Fuwa will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace — and good wishes from China — to children all over the world.
Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends, Fuwa also embody the natural characteristics of four of China’s most popular animals — the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow — and the Olympic Flame.
Each of Fuwa has a rhyming two-syllable name — a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow.
When you put their names together — Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni — they say “Welcome to Beijing,” offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission of Fuwa as young ambassadors for the Olympic Games.
Fuwa also embody both the landscape and the dreams and aspirations of people from every part of the vast country of China. In their origins and their headpieces, you can see the five elements of nature — the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky — all stylistically rendered in ways that represent the deep traditional influences of Chinese folk art and ornamentation.
