The Pyro Olympics has become a yearly event here in the country. Since its debut last 2005, I’ve been trying to get a chance to take photographs of the fireworks. However, due to the cost of getting a good view of the fireworks, I kept missing the chance until this year. For this year, my bf and I were able to reserve a table at MOA’s UCC, where you can view the show perfectly. We were able to watch team Portugal and UK light up Manila’s skies. Below are some of the lucky shots I’ve taken.

Team Portugal is up first.

It’s team UK’s turn to wow the crowd:

2010. Day 1. As our neighbors blast their fireworks, we stood behind the comforts of our house gate and watched as our skies lit up. We did join the chaos by contributing the much needed noise to drive away the bad spirits or bad vibes which threaten to ruin the beginning of the New Year. And with this merry welcome, 2010 arrives at our side of the world.

Goodbye 2009! You’ve been a good-bad year.

Thank you for making 2009 memorable.

I’m excited for the greater things to come. Hello 2010!
