The single episode lasted less than an hour and together we waited for the start of the olympics. At first, I decided that I will not really watch WATCH the opening and prepared my su doku work page, pencil and eraser. But the magnificent opening kept me glued to the TV set.
Well, for a while. After most of the highly applauded production number on THE SCROLL- where hundreds or thousands of talents performed majestically- and changing channels from the local RPN9 (14) and CCTV1 (67) in Destiny cable which was incidentally eventually shut down due to showing rights of RPN9, I dozed off to sleep.
Waking up only to watch a bit of the walk of the athletes representing their countries. And watching a bit of it, I realized that many of the countries that joined, I have heard of only that day. Take for example the country CHAD and NIGER. Too bad, DH told me that due to numerous commercials that have been show with a live telecast, the walk of the Filipino athletes representing the Philippines was cut off from the damn too many commercial breaks. For every minute shown there is a commercial break. In DH's eagerness to watch the show- with commercial breaks- he slept late. It's a first since he is complaining of sore mouth for the past week. But me, I'm of to dreamland hehe
But overall, it was nice that I'd I was able to watch the opening of the Olympics which i thought was a waste of time.
