About: Periodic Time 2
Names Of Months
The names of the months in English come from Latin words. The traditional concept arose with the cycle of moon phases; such as months last - 29.53 days. From excavated tally sticks, researchers have deduced that people counted days in relation to the Moon's phases as early as the Paleolithic age.
-JANUARY-
Januarius - this month is dedicated to Janus, the Roman god of doors. Janus has two faces, one looking back at the old year and the other looking forward to the next year.
-FEBRUARY-
Februarius - Februa was the Roman purification festival, which took place at this time of the year.
-MARCH-
Martius - from Mars, the Roman god of war.
-APRIL-
Aprilis - from aperire, latin for open, because plants begin to open this during month.
-MAY-
Maius - probably comes from Maia, the Roman Goddes of growth and increase.
-JUNE-
Junius - either from a Roman family name Junius, means young, or perhaps after the goddess Juno.
-JULY-
Julius - after Julius Ceasar. This month was named in Ceasar's honour by Mark Anthony in 44BC.
Previously this month was called Quintilis from the word Quintus, five, as it was the fifth month in the Roman calendar.
-AUGUST-
Augustus - named in 8 BC in honour of Emperor Augustus.
-SEPTEMBER-
September - from septem, seven, because it was the seventh month in the Roman calendar.
-OCTOBER-
October - from octo, eight, (as in octopus, which has eight legs), the eight month in the Roman calendar.
-NOVEMBER-
November - from novem, nine, the ninth month in the Roman calendar.
-DECEMBER-
December - from decem, ten, the tenth month in the Roman calendar.
So that was how they named the months in the Roman calendar.
And Hey! Just a second...
A second does not sound very long, but by the time you have read this sentence, almost five of them will have gone by.
Watch an average film and more than 5,000 seconds wil tick away.
In a lifetime of 80 years, there are more than 2.5 billion seconds - but you will spend more than 800 miliion of them asleep.
Period Seconds
1 minute 60
1 hour 3,600
1 day 86,400
1 week 604,800
1 year 31,536,000
So, from this time table of seconds you can calculate how many seconds you have lived from the time you was born up to this time...

About: Periodic Time
Hey! mga Bro's and Sis's, lahat tayo'y marunong tumingin at bumasa sa kalendaryo, pero karamihan pa rin sa atin ay hindi pa alam (tulad ko, pero parang alam ko na dati, nakalimutan ko na lang, hehehe) kung paano nila (ng mga dalubhasang siyentipiko) ginawa at saan kinuha ang mga pangalan ng araw sa kalendaryo tulad ng monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday at sunday. I-share ko sa inyo ang nahalungkat ko sa mga lumang artikulo sa diyaryo.
Naming The Days Of The Week
From the ancient Babylonians, then the Romans, named the days of the week after planets and other bodies they saw in the sky.
-Monday-
Moon's Day
-Tuesday-
Tiu's Day: Mars, the Roman god of war, was adopted in Scandinavian mythology as the warrior Tiu or Tiw.
-Wednesday-
Woden's Day: the Roman god Mercury became the Scandinavian god Woden.
-Thursday-
Thor's Day: like the Roman god Jupiter, Thor was a thunder god.
-Friday-
Freyja's Day: like Venus, Freyja or Frigg was the goddess of love.
-Saturday-
Saturn's Day
-Sunday-
Sun's Day
Sa susunod saan galing ang mga pangalan ng buwan sa kalendaryo...
See Ya!!

Hog-mongous Bigger Than Hogzilla?
In this photo released by Melynne Stone, Jameson Stone, II, poses with a wild pig he killed near Delta, Alabama. Stone's father says the hog weighed a staggering 476.73kg and measured 2.74m from the tip of its snout to the base of tail. If claims of the animal's size are true, it would be larger than "Hogzilla", the huge hog killed in Georgia in 2004. - AP"It's a good accomplishment. I probably won't ever kill anything else that big." -Jameson Stone
Whoa!!
Akalain mo, lumaki ang baboy na yun ng ganun kalaki! Sabagay, di na nakapagtataka ang panahon ngayon. Marami nang naglalabasang mga kababalaghan na dati ay napapanood ko lang sa pelikula o nababasa ko lang sa mga komiks.
Sa next post ko, makikita nyo naman ang mga higanteng gulay at bulaklak...hehehe...
See Ya!!

Quote of the Week
Changing our inner attitudes is not easy as what we think. But there is a way on how to do it. Just think positive for what you are doing. The way you talk, the way you act and the way you think.See Ya!!
What Is Computer For Without Internet?
Heto na naman ako sa harap ng computer ko, wala naman akong maisipang gawin o di kaya’y mag-internet lang buong oras. Tinatamad ako ngayon mag play ng games sa computer. Open ko kaya ang Microsoft Word, ano naman kaya ang i-type ko?
Tula…? Kuwento…? Antok na nga ako sa kakaisip pero ayaw ko pa rin i-close ang computer ko.
Ang totoo talaga, alas tres pa (ng umaga) ang tulog ko. Yan ang oras ng tulog ko kase nga may oras din ang gising ko sa umaga. Bilang ko ng lima hanggang anim na oras ang tulog ko. Sa loob ng limang oras na tulog e nagigising na ako ng kusa, ‘nauuna pa nga ako sa alarm ko’, tapos humihirit pa ako ng isang oras- ‘pero bihira lang yun hehehe’.
Nung una’y wala akong internet connection, puro lang ako edit ng mga pictures, or magcollect ng mga songs at makinig, or madalas nalilibang ako sa paggawa ng video clips using the windows movie maker and some games.
Pero ngayon, may internet na ako at ngayon ko lang na-realized na totoo pala ang sabi ng iba na “what is the use of computer without internet connection?” Since na nag-connect ako, I fells I connected to the whole world and I’m not alone anymore in my room. I can able to talk with my friends via chatting. And how wonderful that computer technology brings today, akalain mo, natagpuan ko kung saang lupalop ng mundo naroon ang mga friends kong matagal ko nang di nakikita, in fact, di ko na inisip na makikita ko pa sila ulit. But by today’s technology I have found them through internet.
Thanks for the people who invented this computer and internet. It’s a BIG help.
At ang nagpakulay ng mundo ko ay nang matutunan kong mag-create ng sarili kong room sa web at blogging. Parang pakiramdam ko’y napakalaya ko o ang luwang ng space ko sa mundo. Kase, lahat ng naiisip ko, lahat ng gusto kong sabihin ay nagagawa ko sa blogs ko. Yung mga bagay na gusto kong i-share sa mundo ay nagagawa ko ngayon.
Pag-uwi ko galing sa trabaho ay diretso open ang computer ko, checking my emails and my blogsites. And you know? Nawawala ang pagod ko lalo’t kapag nalaman kong may nagbabasa rin pala ng mga kabaliwan ko sa blogs. Daig ko pa ngayon ang “ADIK” sa computer. Boring ang isang araw ko kapag hindi ako nakaharap sa computer, OMG!
Ok, marami na pala akong nasabi eh, kanina lang wala akong maisipang gawin, katapos ko lang kase mag post sa mga blogsites ko, tulog na rin mga ka-chat ko.
Huummmnn…antok na rin ako, owkie mga Bro’s, sana post message nyo rito kung mapadaan kayo rito ha.
See Ya!!
