For ten days, the Sochi 2014 connected me with the whole world and it was relatively exciting time of sportsmanship. I was even surprised to see in Facebook that the Philippines joined in figure skating even if a medal is not in the plan, to be part of it is an honor.
I did not really watch any of the games, however, I kept my ears open to the daily news, the cheering of colleagues and poking my head in the office cafeteria to see who is watching the Olympics game. I’ve read some controversies about gay right activist to animal lovers. Olympics is such a political event no matter how they put it. We had our fair share in Vancouver 2010.
The Washington Post wrote a good article about this:
“In the end, it was the right thing for the Olympics to come to Sochi, for all the wrong reasons. If the Winter Games had been staged somewhere else, then we never would have seen this still-rising emblem of the “new Russia” — so visually spectacular yet suggestive of a vast chasm between potential and reality. Here’s hoping that the promise of Sochi will be real.”
The top ten:
So, what’s next? Let’s see what will be the talk at the office at the water cooler, this will be interesting.

It is better to light just one little candle,
Than to stumble in the dark! Better far that you light just one little candle, All you need’s a tiny spark! If we’d all say a prayer that the world would be free, The wonderful dawn of a new day we’ll see! And, if everyone lit just one little candle, What a bright world this would be! Let’s all light one little candle, Why stumble on in the dark? When the day is dark an’ dreary, And your way is hard to find, Don’t let your heart be weary, Just keep this thought in mind! It is better to light just one little candle, Than to stumble in the dark! Better far that you light just one little candle, All you need’s a tiny spark! If we’d all say a prayer that the world would be free, The wonderful dawn of a new day we’ll see! And, if everyone lit just one little candle, What a bright world this would be! What a bright world This would be! “We cannot be together in heaven unless we have begun to live so in this world.” St. Jean Vianney Related Link:This gallery contains 5 photos.
