Wow, this only happens like once in a hundred years, witnessing the making of the world’s greatest Olympian. I am not sure how he must be feeling now, winning eight Olympic gold medals. Heck, even Michael Phelps himself does not know how to feel.

With eight gold medals in one Games, breaking the record held by Mark Spitz ’s seven gold medals in one Games which was set in 1972, and being the only athlete with the most Olympic gold medals in the world at 14 right now, moving forward, the world is wondering what else he could achieve. There’s nothing more else to prove. Michael Phelps is the best Olympian ever. Period.

And those of us who witnessed all his swims are in awe and left wondering, besides what played on his iPod (it’s hip hop, by the way), just what kind of engine powered Michael Phelps with each stroke bigger and stronger than the last.

Thank you, Michael Phelps, for showing us that we could achieve our dreams if we set our heart and mind on it.



Former Senator of North Carolina, John Edwards, finally admitted that he cheated on his wife, Elizabeth, who is stricken with breast cancer, and also cheated on his family and all his supporters.

John Edwards will not be the first and last politician to cheat on his wife and deny it. The problem was that the mistress, campaign aide Rielle Hunter, even released a statement saying that another mutual friend was the father of her baby, when this story first became public.

How many Dr, Chua Soi Leks are there in the world, though I am not saying that he is a fine example that all cheating man should emulate. After all, Dr. Chua is still together with the mistress despite it all. His excuse is that they have been together for 12 years already.

Even now, John Edwards has denied that he is the father of the love child while Rielle Hunter has refused paternity test. The moral of the story is never to trust a politician. And if you have a secret to keep, why let anyone know about it all?
