2012 Olympics

To me, the Olympics have always associated with unbelievable will power, contagious competition, fascination and respect for athletes and frustration with judges. I become passionate even about the sports I normally don't care about. Who won diving? The Chinese again?! Yes, I love it all.

This Olympics, however, I discovered, has a lot of humor associated with them as well. How come I never noticed how hilarious the Games really are. and some athletes? Don't get me started!

Even New York, has displayed its humorous approach to the Games. Below are some pictures of the sculptures on Park Ave, that supposedly represent the 2012 Olympics that take place in London, let me notice. I know, we still want to be a part of it. But whoever designed them, What were you smoking??

Also here are some links to the funniest articles/pictures from London with love. Don't read it in the office (like I did), for everyone will want to know why you're "lmao"...

Nacho Figueras in NY

Those of you who follow my blog "New York Love" are aware that I have a crush on Nacho Figueras, a talented Polo player from Argentina. Well maybe not a crush per se, but definitely a fascination.

Not only do I find him extremely handsome and sexy, I admire him for his public work. Google him to see what I am talking about.
Last Sunday, I was extremely fortunate to attend a nonprofit event with "Help Argentina" hosted by Nacho himself. It was a benefit Polo game (played by Nacho and his older son) to bring awareness and find sponsors for the organization that supports education and development of children in Argentina. Very noble indeed. Check it out here: http://www.helpargentina.org/en/polo2012
As if I wasn't lucky enough to be present at the event and watch Nacho in action, I was also able to take a picture with him! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Here are some shots of the event, and "Me Happy" next to Nacho Figueras!
