There's always something that brings our memory back during the time we are kids. Who doesn't miss the days back when we are kids where there are no problems(Unless you are being bullied). We just eat and play ^_^ Now what things/events that brings you back to the old day?
For me one of those things that reminded me of childhood is fireworks! I remember grandpa buying fireworks during New Year! ^_^
Even as I grow up whenever it's still a part of me. Whenever I'm with my friends in SM Mall of Asia as much as possible once the fireworks are lit up we would rush to see the fireworks.
Last year I also watched the Philippine International Pyromusical Competition. In fact I watched it three times for 3 consecutive weeks. That's how I love fireworks so much! This year I got invited to cover the event. Thanks to Azrael and SM Mall of Asia. The event this year will be held from February 11, 2012 to March 17.
For the 3rd week of the show the one who will compete are Oy Pyroman Finland LTD. of Finland and Grupo Luso Pirotecnia of Portugal.

Oy Pyroman Finland LTD. use the music from their own country, they have more of a traditional approach. I did like the fireworks of Finland in more of an artistic way. On the other hand Grupo Luso Pirotecnia (GLP) of Portugal used new and hip music, with a mix of old rock, and even music from their country. Both have their own approach but it is very noticeable that people like Portugal more and that includes me for the reason that it's a "fun fireworks". In the case of Portugal you could here the claps and "Woooowwwww" of people.
