About: Periodic Time 2
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...
See Ya!!

What Is Computer For Without Internet?
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!!

A Man & A Dog: Million Words & Colors
This picture express a million words between a man and a dog. And it creates million colors behind their life.
Friendship defines closeness between two or more persons. But whether you believe it or not, friendships may end up at no reasons.
Friendship between a man and animal (like dog, cat...) is deeply defined forever closeness and it's proven by many pet lovers.
Example of a dog in your house, how much the way you treat them, they will stay at your side and care for you all the time.
As I stare this picture, I remember Bart, name of our family's dog. A black-haired male dog. He is a friendly dog. He knows the time when I wake up in the morning and he always go walking along with me. He walk ahead of me and smell the path to make sure that I am safe to walk leading to which way I'm going through.
Even though a couple of years I never see him, then he was so happy when I'm home. He still know me. The last time I was gone away and returned home, there was no Bart around, never heard his bark. Then I asked my mother, "Where is Bart?" Then my mother told me that he was disappeared without reason. Bart had just went around the neighbors and never came back and no report for details how he disappeared.
I feel so sad and pity with him. Until this time I missed him, oh poor dog.
"Love your pet as they love you back more than their life..."

Summer of May, "may yelo?"

Para Sa Lahat Ng Nanay...
Isang napakaganda at masayang bakasyon po sa buwan ng Mayo ang bati ko sa lahat ng mga Mothers. Para sa inyo po ang dakilang araw na ito. Mahal na mahal po namin kayo.
NANAY
Siyam na buwan mo akong dinala sa iyong sinapupunan
Siyam na buwan mong inasam-asam na masilayan kung kamukha mo nga ba ako o kahawig ng tatay ko
Wala pa man ako sa mundong ito
Ay pinaplano mo na kung paano mo ako aalagaan at bibigyan ng magandang kinabukasan
Nanay na nagluwal. Napupuyat sa pagtimpla ng gatas. Oras-oras, minu-minuto ay dinadama ang likuran ko kung basa ng pawis dahil takot kang magkasakit ako.
Kahit makulit at malikot ako ay ibinibigay mo lahat ng gusto ko dahil ayaw mong maging malungkot ako.
Ang ibig mo'y lagi ako sa tabi mo, ikaw ang aking unang kalaro at tagapagtanggol anumang oras
Ikaw ang una kong guro, nais mo'y maging matalino ako
Di man ako kasing talino ng iba ay proud ka pa rin dahil bibo naman ako
Pinalaki mo akong may takot sa Diyos at marunong makipagkapuwa
Kahit natutunan kong magsinungaling at maglihim sa iyo
ay inuunawa mo pa rin ako dahil ikaw ang unang taong nakakakilala ng pagkatao ko
Kapag nasa malayo ako ay inaalala mo ako, dugo at pawis ang tinustos mo makatapos lang ako sa pag-aaral dahil gusto mo'y 'wag akong matulad sa hirap na dinanas mo
Halos maluha ka sa galak ng makatapos ako at nagkaroon ng trabaho
Lagi mong pinapa-alala sa akin na mag-ipon ako para sa kinabukasan ko
Bakas ko sa mukha mo ang kasabikan sa tuwing uuwi ako sa piling mo at iyong uusisain ang aking kalusugan sa halip na ipakita mo sa akin ang iyong karamdaman
Mas minamabuti mo pa ring ligtas ang buhay ko kaysa sa sarili mo
Sa aking pag-aasawa ay maiiwan kang muli, mangungulila, maghihintay sa pagdalaw ko
Kahit nag-iba na ang buhay ko ngayon ay nandiyan ka pa rin palagi
Hindi mo nalilimutan kung ano ang paborito kong pagkain, batid mo ang kilos ko kung may suliranin ako, lagi kang nakahanda sa pagtulong sa akin
Nakakalimot man ako sa iyo ngunit kahit saglit ay di mo ako nalilimutan
Sana araw-araw ay Mother's Day dahil araw-araw ay mahal nyo kami
Sana hindi lang isang araw para ipakita sa inyo kung gaano namin kayo kamahal
Happy Mother's Day Nanay...
See Ya!!

Another Electric-Powered Mini Car
Heto na naman ang isa sa ilang bagong imbentong sasakyan na electric-powered na inilunsad dun sa New York, ang 2009 New York International Auto Show. It is something about PUMA or Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility.
PUMA is a joint project between Segway and General Motors.
It is a two-seat, lithium-battery-powered transportation pod. Capable of reaching 56kph and going 56km between charges.
Ang maganda pa rito, the PUMA pod would be equipped with transponders to help it behave much in the manner of pedestrians on crowded New York streets - they seem to automatically sense one another's space and avoid intrusion or collision.
The PUMA pod, initially expected to be sold to test-bed communities, such as college campuses.
O! ayan mga Bros and Sis, sa susunod na imbento niyan eh, lilipad na yan, hehehe...
