Formula 1

The entire kingdom is agog with the forthcoming Bahrain Grand Prix. Last year's race was adjudged the best promoted race. Expectations are high in the kingdom and everywhere you look, you will see nothing but images of this year's race. I am one of the many Filipinos who are not completely oriented with Formula 1 and the Grand Prix, yet when I arrived in Bahrain, I told myself that I will experience everything the kingdom will offer. I realized the Grand Prix is one of them since there is so much about the Grand Prix than mere machines. Now, I do not even have to buy tickets as a very good friend promised she will give me one! Great Marita, where's my ticket? ;)

Corollary to the Bahrain Grand Prix is a phletora of events, mostly organized by hotels. I am inclined to attend this year's edition of the "most chic" social event at the official host venue - BJ's at Al Bustan Hotel, Adliya. Last year's party was the first time that Fashion TV held an event in the Gulf and it was a huge success when partygoers from all over the world turned up to relax after the long weekend of Formula 1 madness. This year's party features DJ and top model Sassy.

Another sidelight to this year's Bahrain race is the exhibition of reknowed Greek sports artist Mina Papatheodorou Valyraki, who was named Sports Artist of the Year in 2002.

So, am I excited about the GRand Prix? Sure I am especially the free ride among friends!
