5pm Saudi time now, Dec 05 2010, Sunday, In my house Jubail KSA By this time of December in the Philippines, all Filipinos are focused in their respective Christmas season preparations.
Surely I can bet no one cares anymore about the "not soooo good" performance of the Philippine contingent to the recently concluded 16th Asian Games held in Guangzhou, China for the last 2 weeks of the month of November.
I have actually been reading the proceedings of the different sporting events in this year's 16th Asian Games, through the cable television "GMA Pinoy TV" I have here at home that has a channel CCTV China giving news about this quadrennial sporting event.
This is of course in addition to news i read through the ARAB NEWS internet. And with these sources of updates, I always try looking for the performance of the Philippine contingent. But unfortunately, Filipino athlete entered into the different sporting events are defeated by their fellow athletes that came into the event even more prepared, well trained, well fed, and more powerful. Hence, the Filipino athlete came falling donw one after the other, just like the falling domino chips in the board game.
In fairness, though, am sure even the Filipino athletes did not fared well on the medal standing, each competing athlete has its own figthing spirit propelled him or her into competing.
