Team Hippiee won the amazing raceeeeee!!! YAYYYYY!

alright. actually is not new news. sis told me that ytd. but watching it myself was like pow-wow. yeah. i love this team! i was so touched that i teared when they touched down at the pit-stop. hahas. yeah. i m so touched by the integrity that they held, their gentleness amidst energy, kindness amidst racing, sacrificial hearts despite not having much, and the friendship that they share THROUGHOUT this race. how beautiful is that!

"When Phil presented BJ and Tyler with their checks, he said they "really embraced this race. They enjoyed every single moment they were on this race, whether they were in first or in last. They kept their spirit all the way to the end. ...."http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/05/18/earlyshow/series/amazingrace/main1628216.shtml

Yeah. that's the word. they embraced this race. winning was a bonus, the ultimate aim was to experience, and finally finish the race.

it was the most beautiful amazing race that i have ever caught thus far. it really demonstrated that to win, pure shrewdness and dirty tricks cant last.

integrity and sincerity towards people do. and that's what i see in bj and tyler.

absolute sincerity in approaching EVERY single one that they meet in every country. they did not narrow their aim to just finishing the race and grab tt 1 mill.

they were much more interested in giving energy to the person that manage to cross paths with em. :)

"Co-winner BJ noted, "I think that on this Race being cerebral doesn't help as much as being in the moment. It's just great to stay positive and really enjoy each other's company. Our friendship is what got us through it." Tyler added, "BJ and I approached each country with wide eyes and enthusiasm and a huge spirit of adventure. There's so much in this world. We might as well take advantage of as much as we can and give back as much as we can and that's important. That's how it all works." "
