ATHENS-Farewell now, dear Athens, city of my new affections, whose loveliness and magic I haven't known and may never ever fathom.

It's too early to go but, sorry, it's goodbye for now.

Thank you for the chance you gave my dear Philippines, although it failed again in its search for the elusive Olympic gold medal.

Our contingent finished the celebration empty-handed, still ignorant about the winning secrets hidden in your great ruins.

Yes, RP again got invited to the party, it put on its best, but sadly failed to make it to the grand ball.
