This May I packed and flew to Shanghai from Manila to see the World Expo, which I have been waiting for since December.

I went on May 29, 2010 and May 31, 2010 - A DAY BEFORE AND AFTER BoA's visit to the Expo! </epicfail>

And I just found out tonight that BoA had gone, which has caused me terrible sadness as of the moment. During my free times in between 2003-2007, I had done all sorts of cult-worthy praying to see BoA in the flesh one day. And my chance had passed, considering BoA's steady decline into oblivion and my waning interest in her. Huhu. The funny thing is that I went home exhausted from the Expo on the 29th, so when my dad urged me to go back on the 30th, I just said, nah, I'll sleep tomorrow and come back on the 31st.

Darn it, I would have been back to BJJ in no time posting pictures and videos madly, seeing as no one else had been nearly as close to seeing her in that fateful moment as I had been. Forgive my insolence.

Anyhow, the Expo is a great thing, sort of like a cultural exposition of different countries. For those who are too lazy to go on google, it's made up of pavilions of each country in accordance with an environmentalist theme for the future. It's an epic display of what money can do, too.

Here are some pictures I've taken of the Expo on day one and two, hosted on my FB (you don't have to have an account nor be friends with me in order to see this):

You can also check this out for more dignified pictures of the pavilions, from before the expo opening on May 1:

Enjoy viewing and tell me what you think of the Expo!



(Wow, I'm posting after a millennium of absence - update me?)

I think you should have posted this in the General BoA chat section...
Anyway, I wish you had the chance to see BoA up close & then get to share pics & videos here as well...
But I guess life is just like that sometimes... *sigh*

I'm in Beijing now! Will go to Shanghai for the expo in a couple of days

And because I'm in Beijing, I can't see your pictures on facebook >< But I'm sure it was great! I heard a lot of good things about it. But I also heard it was majorly crowded ):

@ Soup-chan: Hey Soup! It does seem a bit sleepy these days, I miss the good ol' times. Hope BoA fires up something soon so that the oldies would come running back here. :] And anyway, on the thanks, The Lounge has always been one of my favorite places in BJJ, so. heehee ;p

@ Mlyap: I was really debating that for a long time, but this seemed like it was too pointless and whiny to be allowed in The General BoA chat. Anyhow, I intended for the Expo to really be the main topic anyways, I just couldn't get over finding out that BoA had been to the same soil I would have been in a few hours earlier.

@ Kwcty: I know, I couldn't bear being away from FB for that long too!! Damn that Great Firewall. Good luck on the Expo, I really hope you could go on a nondescript weekday, because the weekends will only kill you and your poor feet. I went on a Saturday and couldn't do much except walk around aimlessly.

@ Dreamsicles: I did nearly kill myself last night upon finding out and really wish that I could blame all sorts of irrational desires i had (along the lines of wrist-cutting) were due in part to my PMS-ing.
