30th of Febuary?


It just turned 28th Febuary 2009, yet another leap year without a 29th. While we engage in our daily lifes today, never have we actually take to attention of its origin, do we? And that we go through a simply yet intruging phenomenon.

While I presume most of us may know of this, some others may not.So why does Febuary have 28 days a month and 29 after 3 leap years?Theres actually a history to it, but let me just summarize and simplify it in layman's term. ;D

Our earth takes exactly 365 days & 6hrs to make a complete rotation around the sun. While our moon will travel its complete cycle in 29 1/2 days, fitting in 12 months to 365 1/4 days a year in our calender. So, in order to regulate it into the day system in our calender, a balance had to be done. the 1/4 day would be accumalated, and on every 4 years (which makes a day) that extra day be put into the calender. It was then declared that Febuary would hold that day, So that’s how February came to be only 28 days.

Our lunar moon's cycle


A recent interesting proposal for calendar reform suggested that all months should have 28 days and that there should be 13 of them. This would add up to 364, requiring only one extra day; two in leap years. It'll make our calendar dead simple.

But well, If math were all that mattered it might just work, but our current calendar’s luni-solar roots are deeply embedded in our religious, cultural, and even business lives. The irregular and adjusted civil calendar that holds and governs our days would well be the most enduring connection to these ancient roots.All credits to Julius Caesar and his crew of dedicated men, lol, well not leaving behind our dear Augustus either. But it would definitely be strange if we were to have a 1/4 day extra in our calender. And then having to countdown at 6am in the morning --HAHA-- Popping up fireworks while early birds chirp in the air and roosters cocking away, ROFL! it just would'nt work! So anyways, well thats just how I would feel about it.
What do you think? :)

So as a Q for thought, have you ever wondered, if we were to go exactly according to math and facts; after all these accumalated hours and days, when exactly then would this year's new year actually be? ;D

The Scape Goat & his Victims

I popped up my msn to find an interesting highlight regarding a formerly stale but now an updated entertainment news. xD We well have heard and remember Edison Chen's huge and messed up piece of ugly scandal. Which dealt him a huge blow, sending him to his "presumed early retirement".

Thrown away by the people, trashed down in fame and tracked like a criminal with a bounty on his head, his migration back to Vancouver was obvious and expected. But why? Well yes, what happened certainly hit hard on victimized celebrities which will well linger in the public's air for a bit. You've heard the saying: “What comes into the net, stays in the net. And nothing you say will ever set things right". But you might consider some of these questions: Could you positively say that this was intentional? Couldn't it be foul play? And if that were the case, should he deserve this kind of treatment by the public and the media?


Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.” as quoted by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


We all have our secrets, and be it clean or dirty, we still insist in keep it to ourselves. We all have human desires and tendencies, and we satisfy ourselves one way or another. Yet we still live our lives like innocent bystanders. The crime wasn't committed by Ed, but a group called Kira who held the photos and extorted Ed. This definitely holds no controversy. Besides, His cam whoring would'nt have gone unaware by his scandals, as you can see, most of his candidates had their eye-contact on the camera. So Ed shouldn't be taking all the credits should he? :D Wouldn't having a more critical eye on Gillian Chung's hypocrisy be appropriate then, who even attended the Chaste School Campus Inauguration and stated clearly that she opposed pre-marital sex.




I laughed when I saw this, though it was funny, he did make sense to what he was talking about.


Oh yeah, this one cracked up a lot. Don't you just love Photoshop? xD



Moving on. So what your say on Rihanna's assault case?

mind you, this is just another criticism from Photoshop

It seems clear that Chris has lost it all, even most of his advertising endorsement deals and airplay on my radio stations have been cut off. Again, a simply question now arises, "Was it intentional?" That, we'll leave it to your opinion and another day. :)

The Beginning of the End

This would be my first ever blog to be published. ;) although this is the beginning of my blog's anatomy, what came across my mind would sound like the end. Well, it could well mean the end really. Recently, almost everyone i came across speaks of the "2012" rumor; The End of the World. The first thing that ran thru my mind was "could it be for real?". Its philosophy states that on the 21st of Dec 2012, an apocalypse would end all existence of life on earth. and hey! Theres even a movie made for it. check it out xD

Could you possibly believe it? and even if you could, would you be able to accept this? With humanity moving along fast towards the year 2012, many of us are getting way over the head concerned as well as gearing themselves to this mysteriously dreadful countdown. What may be in store for us would just be an unforseen chapter of our delicate race. Oh well, little or nothing much we can do for now, and while we seemingly embrace this rumored prophecy to unfold, lets just cool our heads off and wait this "Another Independence Day" movie to appear on screens.
