TTFN

Wow, I can’t believe this is my last post already. The olympics and paralympics went by so quickly. I’m kind of sad it’s over. The other day when I was walking by the curling rink, it was depressing to see how they were taking down all the olympic things. The government wasted so much money on the decorations and now they’re going bye-bye. So depressing. Well, I thought the blog was a great experience and being able to go olympic and paralympic events was amazing as well. I’m glad I decided to join the blog team. I’m amazed at how so many people actually have seen our blog and commented tons of great comments. This experience was totally worth it. I’m gonna miss blogging anyway..  ta ta for now. TTFN !

Yay, we’re third so far !

The other day I was driving home from the airport, I noticed the olympic lights were different. I was amazed at how the olympic circles turned in the paralympic symbol. I feel so jealous because I missed the paralympics opening cermony and I wasn’t in the country when the paralympics started. ):  I heard it was really good and less boring compared to the olympics opening.  Oh yeah ! All you people who have been waiting to zipline.. can finally zipline now.  The 5hr wait is now an 2hr or less wait. I don’t know if its even two hours, it could be less. So if you couldn’t go ziplining cause of the 5hr wait, go now !  Oh yeah, if you didn’t know..  Brian McKeever won the men’s 20-kilometre freestyle visually impaired event yesterday morning ! So far we’re third right behind Ukraine with 2 gold medals 3 silver and 1 bronze ! Go Canada Go !

Missing the olympics..

It’s been 4 days since the olympics ended. Traffic is busier now and the bus routes are back to normal. Everyone’s going back to work and back to their studies. No more crazy canadians cheering everywhere. I miss the olympics. I liked how the olympics made the streets of Vancouver so lively. Even though there are still the paralympics happening soon, it just won’t be the same. Anyway, I can’t wait to watch the paralympics. I think it’s going to be incredible and Canada’s going to do very well. Go Canada go !

Victory Ceremony ft. Billy Talent

The victory ceremony last night was amazing. I’ve never been to a big event like this before, so it was a great experience. Everything looked fantastic. It was awesome to see how everyone was so excited when we saw Ashleigh McIvor get her gold metal for coming in first in the women’s ski-cross.  It was quite interesting to listen to different country’s anthems too. Which one’s your favorite ? I think Canda’s anthem is my favorite. Did you know, the band Loverboy, a candian band, wrote the American anthem for the United States ? And in the end, Billy Talent ended the ceremonies with an incredible performance. While going home from the ceremony, it was hilarious. There were tons of amazing canadians roaming around the streets singing our anthem, cheering, and doing a bunch of crazy things. One guy who was wearing the canadian flag as cape saw another man across the street with a flag as a cape too, and he yelled, ” HEY  MAN, LET’S PARTY IN THE CENTER OF THE INTERSECTION!”  Haha, it was so funny because everyone wanted to join him and you should’ve seen the police officer’s face, it was priceless. I feel so proud to be canadian.

So excited now. :)

Today, I decided to watch the olympic events on t.v.. I wasn’t really into the olympics before, but after watching a couple events.. I felt so excited ! Skeleton was amazing, they were moving so fast I kind of felt sick from watching haha. Hockey was incredible. Canada vs. Switzerland. It was a close game. Canada wins !  I had to keep switching channels because I was watching figure skating as well. Waiting for Patrick Chan to go on hehe. I never thought the events would be this interesting and exciting. So all you people that haven’t be watching the events, you should start watching them ! I’m pretty sure you’ll be excited too !   Don’t forget to check out the free activities available ! I don’t know if you guys can see this I found this on facebook : http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=290697317778&ref=mf  ,  it tells you all the free activities you can do. Check that out !

” I Believe – Nikki Yanofsky “

Here’s the theme song and music video for the olympic torch relay. I really like the lyrics, they’re so inspiring. And there’s only 5 more days left til the games begin ! Enjoy  ”I Believe ” by Nikki Yanofsky  !  I hope you guys will get inspired too.

Road blocks and more buses, yay.

Hi guys,

Today while I was driving to school, I noticed many roads were blocked off. Good thing it was still pretty early so it wasn’t that bad. Also, today is the official start of getting fined for talking on your cellphone. So remind your parents if they need to make a phone call make sure they pullover, or else they’ll have to pay the fine. When I was waiting for the bus today, I noticed there were way more buses. Usually I would have to wait a while if I missed a bus, but today the buses came right after another. I could see like two or three more buses coming after I got on. I think there are more buses now cause of the olympics and I like that. Makes my life easier. Don’t forget to check out our FIRST contest ! Good luck !

Excited for the olympics.. ?

Hello guys .. and girls !  :)

Only a couple of weeks until the olympics ! Are you guys excited ? I know I am. Isn’t it cool to have such a huge event happening in vancity ?  Since vancity isn’t that big, that means you might be able to bump into famous athletes, like Patrick Chan, when you’re at the mall or walking down the street. That’s why I’m so excited, haha. There is something I’m not excited for though, and that is traffic. Getting to school will take a while, which means you’ll have to leave your house earlier.. sadface ): Anyway, I want you to  click comment , to tell us what you’re excited and not excited for during the olympics ! Or which athlete you would like  to bump into.

Don’t forget to comment ! Peaceasy !
