| Clinton Wants Bush to Boycott 2008 Olympic Opening Ceremony | | 2008-04-07 20:37:50 | |
Come on, President Bush - let's see where you REALLY stand on the issue of human rights! Will you do as you are being asked or will you pander to the tyrannical Chinese government?
By the way, Prime Minister Tusk of Poland said he'll skip the opening of the Olympic Games in Beijing, as his government asked other European Union members to join its protest.
I happen to agree with Nancy Pelosi when she says, ""I don't think China should have gotten the Olympic Games to begin with."
I for one will be boycotting the event, since I would much rather spend my precious time doing more constructive things, such as reading some excellent blogs written by people who are spending their precious time telling us to boycott the Olympic Games.

| I Nominate Manny Pacquaio To Be The Philippines Flag Bearer In The 2008 Olympics Opening Ceremony! | | 2007-10-14 03:49:31 | | This is the first time you'll ever read this proposition anywhere! When one thinks of the flag bearer for one's country during the opening ceremony of the Olympics where the countries' athletes and sports officials are parading on the Olympic grounds, one can only think of that person as the embodiment of the country's sports aspirations. The flag bearer is the best athlete in that country ( although not necessarily participating in the Olympic games ). For the Philippines, it would be the boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao! Manny, in recent years, has proved to be one of the best fighters in the professional boxing world. He has beaten almost every boxing legend in his weight division. 2 great Mexican professional boxers, Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales have since retired after their final duel with Manny Pacquaio.The prospect of Manny Pacquaio being the torch bearer does not seem very far off. Owing to his self-imposed duty to fight for the country's honor, I don't believe Manny would think twice about agreeing to bear the Philippine flag in the 2008 Olympics opening parade. Hopefully, one of his fights for next year would not coincide with the August 8, 2008 inaugurals.This will be a big boost for the Philippine athletes morale and would definitely inspire the athletes particularly our boxers to do well and finally bring home a gold medal. Now if only somebody the the Philippine Olympic Committee would propose this to Manny so he would know.Be Proud to be Filipino and try these:T-SHIRT WHITE ELEGANT FLAG " MANILA " PHILIPPINESCAPS BLACK FLAG EMBROIDERY " PHILIPPINES "T-SHIRT NAVY BLUE " I'M FAMOUS IN PHILIPPINES "T-SHIRT WOMAN BLACK " I LOVE LAOAG " PHILIPPINESSWEATSHIRT WOMAN WHITE ELEGANT FLAG " MARKINA " PHILIPPINES2008 Olympics Manny Pacquiao Boxing Philippines Filipino | | By: Beijing 2008 Olympics Blog | | |

| Ngaben - Bali Cremation Ceremony | | 2007-08-20 02:42:06 | | Ngaben or the Cremation Ceremony is the ritual performed to send the dead through the transition to his next life. The village Kul Kul, hanging in the tower of the village temple, will sound a certain beat to announce the departure of the deceased. The body of the deceased will be placed at Bale Delod, as if he were sleeping, and the family will continue to treat him as if he were still alive yet sleeping. No tears are shed, for he is only gone temporarily and he will reincarnate into the family.Calling the soulDiggingDue to the huge amount of time and expense involved, a cremation is usually postponed for months or even years. In the meantime the body of the deceased is temporarily buried. Family members first wash and groom the corpse, then wrap it in cloths and mats. A raw egg is rolled across it and smashed to the ground, removing all impurities. The body is then transported to the cemetery on a simple bier and buried without a casket.Once a favorable day has been set, an army of r | | By: Bali Travel Blog | | |

Jyoti looked absolutely stunning, and the colours just blew me away.
As part of the evening, Jyoti is adorned with all manner of gifts, money, jewellery and fed various foods.
There was a beautiful sense of family among the ladies. I got this great shot of Jyoti’s grandmother, looking on.
Later in the evening the ladies sang to Jyoti and played various musical instruments… lovely to be a part of.
