A “supermoon” on March 19, 2011

Hey, everyone! You know what is a Supermoon? Have you heard anything about it?


According to what I had researched, a supermoon is the term coined by astrologer Richard Nolle that is being used to describe the moon as it circles around the Earth at a distance of 221,567 miles (356,577 kilometers). It will take place on March 19, 2011.

The moon, on this day, is believed to come closer to earth, more than it has in 18 years. Its closeness to earth may cause disasters. We'd all like to believe that the SuperMoon just makes for a surreal experience, a rare spectacle. But, it remains to be seen if it's indeed Supermoon or SuperDoom!

According to Nolle, when the moon reached super-extreme, the Earth will experience huge storms, earthquakes, volcanoes and other natural disasters. Studies of scientists revealed that the moon’s gravity can cause ebbs and flows in the continents, called “land tides” or “solid Earth tides.” High tides are at its peak during full and new moons. During this time, the sun and moon are aligned either on the same or opposite sides of the Earth.


So, what do you guys think about it, huh? Do you think the disasters that happened in Japan were related to this?

References:

last day in Mayan calendar... creepy!

The text below is circulating in text messages and other networking sites.

Beware because

America, one of the richest and powerful countries, lost thousands of lives last 09-11-01.

Now,

Japan, one of the richest and wisest countries, lost thousands of lives last 03-10-11.
  
Add the dates.

   09-11-01
+  03-10-11
   12-21-12 --> last day in Mayan calendar and in the 2012 movie.

Weird but scary, right?

Please, let us all pray for the victims of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear blast in Japan.
Also, pray for all the people in other countries that are suffering right now. May God bless us all ^^

Summer, here we come!

It’s already March, isn’t it? ^^ Well, in other places, it’s just spring. But here in the Philippines, it’s summer time! So, do you already feel the summer breeze?

Anyway, I just discovered something while I was searching the net. Do you know that there are many superstitions about March? We often hear that "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." This means that the first day of March is often stormy, and the last day is mild and warm. According to most farmers, if there is rain for the first 3 days of the month, this predicts a bad harvest later in the year. Could this be true? I heard that since yesterday, there was rainfall in most parts of the Philippines. Hmm, interesting, huh?

These are some other trivia about March that you might want to know:

- March is the third month of the year according to the Gregorian calendar, which is used in almost all parts of the world today. It was the first month on the early Roman calendar and was called Martius. Later, the ancient Romans made January 1 the beginning of the year, and March became the third month.
- March has always had 31 days. Its name honors Mars, the Roman god of war.
- The flower for March is the violet.
- Aquamarine is the birthstone for March.
- Magellan discovered the Philippines in March 1521.
- March 4 (first Friday of March) is the “World Day of Prayer.
- International Women's Day will fall on March 8.
- Lent Begins & Ash Wednesday on March 9.

The school year is about to end! Yipeeeee!

Hey everyone! Did you notice that February is almost over and that March is fast approaching? Well, I guess it’s time to celebrate! Oh yeah, I forgot. March is still a hell month to most of us especially to the high school and college students. The projects, long tests, thesis, major papers, and finals are still with us. So, our suggestion is, why don’t you enjoy the last month of the school year with your classmates, schoolmates, and teachers/professors? You can still have fun while studying and cramming for your paper works, right?

Turn everything in an optimistic point of view. Instead of procrastinating, do your projects and study first. One month to go and you’ll be “free” again (except for those who have summer classes) Anyway, summer will be so much fun if you don’t have things to worry about. So, do everything for school now and have fun later. Good luck to those who have lots of academic things to do, especially to those who have to study for their examinations. God bless you all! ^^

roses for you! :)


OMG! We only have 5 days left before Valentine’s! Got a date already? Ever heard of SMP = Samahan ng Malalamig na Pebrero? Hmm. Hope you’re not one of them. But actually, it’s also cool if you want to spend Valentine’s Day alone or with your friends. Hehe! It’s not all about lovers, you know!


Anyway, if you have a date on Valentine’s, good for you! But, have you already planned the things that you and your date will do on that day? What about the presents that you will give to your special someone?

If ever you’ll give roses, be sure to pick the right choice! If you’re a guy, what color of the rose should you give? If you’re a girl, you should know the meaning of the colors of the roses that a guy may give you.


Here’s a guide for you!

Red RoseIt means "I love you." It represents romance and love.

Deep Pink - This simply means "thank you". If someone you know does something nice for you, a deep pink rose is a good way of saying "thank you".

Regular Pink - A pink rose represents happiness. It's great to give a pink rose to a partner to say, "I'm very happy with our relationship."

Light Pink - A light pink rose means "sympathy". When someone has had a loss then light pink roses is a very nice way of expressing your condolences.

White Rose - A white rose symbolizes innocence and purity. When combined with red roses (see further down), it represents "unity". This also means “true love.”

Yellow Rose - A yellow rose symbolizes friendship and caring. It's the perfect innocent gift to give to a friend or give to a loved one when you simply want to say "I care". When given to a friend it also means "I'm happy with our friendship."

Lavender Rose  - A lavender rose is a symbol of "falling in love". When you give it to a person you are saying "I have fallen in love with you and am enchanted by you."

Orange Rose - An orange rose is a symbol of desire. "I desire you" or "I desire to get to know you better" is the message that orange roses send.

Black Rose - Never ever give a woman a black rose, because Hollywood has, unfortunately, made out the meaning to be "death". These aren't easy to find and some maintain that they don't actually "exist".

Blue Rose - A blue rose is very hard to reproduce or find, although some floral companies are trying to do it naturally. Others just dye them. To some a blue rose symbolizes "mystery" and to others "attaining the impossible". A blue rose given can symbolize the rarity of your partner. You have attained the impossible.

Mixture of White and Red Roses - When you deliver white and red roses together to someone, it is a symbol of unification and unity. "May we always be together as one."


Tip: If you want to be creative, you can combine some of the roses above.

before Valentine's geez...


It’s almost Valentines Day! Do you already have a date? If you don’t have yet, don’t worry! You'll have one soon. For now, read these quotes about love and Valentine's. Maybe you can say some of these to your date.

Well, it's finally february in a few days...know what that means don't you?:D VALENTINE'S DAY!
It's that time of the year where everything else in life takes a backseat to that cute (or hot!*sigh*) boy/girl you've got your eyes on:)) sooo do you guys have any stories to share?*wink wink* We'd love to hear from you guys!

To pay respects to this upcoming month, I've decided to talk about pick-up lines! woohoo! haha has anyone ever heard of a seriously cheesy pick-up line?:) (you can send it to us if you like so we can share with more people! you know the saying! giving is better than recieving stuff or something like that!) well, while i was watching some random stuff at youtube, I found a Filipino song that was made up of some of the cheesiest lines I've ever heard! I think a lot of you already know this song, it's been used for a lot of different things or so I've heard:p hahaha so this is the vid with english subtitles:)

Personally, the first time i heard this, I was laughing so hard! anyone who wants to know how to pick-up a girl (or boy;))? just watch this vid! I know everyone loves a good laugh every now and then too!
