We had a Summer Outing from SSA (Sungard System Access) Manila on 24th May and 25th May. The resort was Lago de oro.
It had a wakeboarding, with Cable Skiing, spectacular view of South China Sea, a swimming pool, and nice cottages.
We reached there on 24th May morning around 10.30 AM. There was lot of fun activities arranged by the Manila Team. It was wonderful in watching as well as participating.
I was eagerly waiting for watching sunset at South China sea and almost lost due to clouds at the horizon. But the skies display of spectacular colours were really wonderful.
Also on 24th May evening it was low tide and we could walk around 150-200 meters where there was sea water. In the morning again it was as usual.

Pyro Olympics 2008
I witnessed the Pyro Olympics at SM Mall of Asia, yesterday. It was an awesome experience.
What is Pyro Olympics?
The World Pyro Olympics is an annual competition amongst the most prestigious fireworks companies in the world. The event is one of the largest and most intense international fireworks competitions of the world, second only to Montreal's Fireworks Competition.
The World Pyro Olympics runs through a period of five consecutive days allowing locals and tourists alike to experience the greatest fireworks display in the world. Two countries fire each day; the last participant fires on the final evening of the event.
The host of the event does not participate in the competition but performs a fireworks display on the last night. Awards, such as the People’s Choice, are given out after the exhibition. The crowning of the World Pyro Olympics Champion ends the event.

I didn't know what the Pyro Olympics was until I googled it. I was with my friends, and were scrolling through SM Mall of Asia. We had information about fireworks which will be held every Friday and Saturday at 7pm from our collegue. So we were there for witnessing that.
But there was a surprise waiting for us. There was no entry to the bay area from the mall. Only those who have Reservation could enter. We where almost distressed that we may not watch the event.
But thank god, we had a way atlast. We went and placed in a comfortable place to watch the event.
The fireworks lasted for around 20 minutes. It was wonderful display of fireworks. It is also the first time I am witnessing such a big event.
Photos:
Not many of the photos were of the good quality. But some of them are good. Here it is for you all to see.
I will upload the video soon.
