Missing Ya All

Mga kakaibang uri ng mga pamumuhay ng mga pinoy sa loob at labas ng Pilipinas...

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...

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...

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...

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.
