2025 CHINESE NEW YEAR

By -
2025 CHINESE NEW YEAR January 29, 2025 is a Chinese New Year.   It is the YEAR OF THE SNAKE .   Chinese New Year will ALWAYS FALL on or between  January 21  and  February 20 . People born on  February 20 ONWARDS  would surely have the animal sign of their  RESPECTIVE BIRTHYEAR . Those who were born from  January 1 to January 20  would surely have the animal sign of the  PREVIOUS YEAR . If you were born AFTER January 20 and BEFORE February 20 (i.e., January 21~ February 19), YOU SHOULD CHECK on the actual date of the Chinese New Year of your birthyear—might be the PREVIOUS year’s animal sign.   For the year 2025, if you were born BEFORE January 29 your animal sign is that of the DRAGON and NOT of the SNAKE . Most of the time, Chinese New Year will fall 11 days (or sometimes 10 or 12 days) EARLIER than the previous year.   The reason for this is that a lunar month is about 29.5 days only (about...

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

By -
  VALENTINE, VALENTINES, VALENTINES’ or VALENTINE’S? How do we actually write a “greeting” on February 14 ? The holiday that falls on February 14 is named after Saint Valentine .   That “day” has a direct connection with him.   It is his day, hence the possessive.   And since there has been only one of him, it’s a singular. Singular possessive noun uses an apostrophe ( ‘ ) and the letter “ s ” at the end of the word to take the possessive form. So, “ Happy Valentine's Day ” is the correct spelling. But, if we omit the word “Day” in that greeting, I think we should only say “ Happy Valentine! ”  What do you think? SSso, ganun nga kaya iyon?

CHINESE NEW YEAR (2024 is the 4722nd Chinese year) The Date of Chinese New Year February 10, 2024  is a Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year will always fall on or between January 21 and February 20 . People born on February 20 onwards would surely have the animal sign of their respective birthyear . Those who were born from January 1 to January 20 would surely have the animal sign of the previous year . If you were born after January 20 and before February 20 (i.e., January 21~ February 19), you should check on the actual date of the Chinese New Year of your birthyear—might be the previous year’s animal sign.   For the year 2024, if you were born before February 10 your animal sign is that of the Rabbit and not of the Dragon . Most of the time, Chinese New Year will fall 11 days (or sometimes 10 or 12 days) earlier than the previous year.     The reason for this is that a lunar month is about 29.5 days (about 354 days only in a year).   Since a sola...

2024 IS A LEAP YEAR

By -
  2024 IS A LEAP YEAR   The Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar.   It is aligned with the time it takes the Earth to orbit around the sun which is almost 365.25 days.   The nearly quarter day is adjusted with the addition of a leap day (February 29) every four years.     A person born on February 29 may be called a leapling .   Since leaplings will have fewer birthday anniversaries than their age in years, some declared to be only a quarter of their actual age by counting their leap-year birthday anniversaries only.   Years containing a leap day are called leap years .   Years not containing a leap day are called common years .     The term “ leap year”  probably comes from the fact that a fixed date in the Gregorian calendar normally advances one day of the week from one year to the next.   But, the day of the week in the 12 months following the leap day (from March 1 to February 28 of the fo...
