GT: Best and Prettiest Birthday Gift Ever

Of all my photos taken this year, this must have been the overly-exposed one. For one, I blogged about it first in my main blog as soon as I got hold of it 4 months ago, then to my other blogs too on some occasions. Last week, I tried to make a scheduled post using the same photo for a supposed Wednesday meme. But for whatever reasons the author of the said meme was unable to make it so I just ended up deleting it. And now here comes Thursday... calling all the best and if I may add the prettiest birthday gift ever received and I can't honestly think of nothing else but this. Yea, this... my most recent blogging buddy! Though it came a month late (March) after my birthday (February), I still couldn't thank enough two of the most important people in my life for the lifetime-worth happiness their pretty gift has brought me this year. They're no less than the ever so sweet JK and her gorgeous daughter, Kris from million miles away. These two never fail to make me feel like I'm the most special person in the world despite my umm... well... exceptionally random attitude. ;) Anyway, if you're up to checking its special features and specs, feel free to click the link above. :D

February 18 it is!

Oh yeah! I love this week's little twist of playing GT - making us participants know what's happening around the world on that day we were born. Okay, so let's do it! According to Wikipedia:
February 18 is the 49th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 316 days remaining until the end of the year (317 in leap years).
Would you believe there were 46 Events ... whoa. whoa. whoa... wait... do I really need to continue counting? Okay, at least I stopped after I reached a hundred and yeah there's more for Births alone and probably around 60-80 Deaths, WOW!! Didn't just that made me a little dizzy? Breathe!!! Ha-ha-ha! Now let me just pick top 5 from the long-stretched list of each content. Here we go... For Events: 1229 – The Sixth Crusade: Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor signs a ten-year truce with al-Kamil, regaining Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem with neither military engagements nor support from the papacy. 1268 – The Livonian Brothers of the Sword are defeated by Dovmont of Pskov in the Battle of Rakvere. 1332 – Amda Seyon I, Emperor of Ethiopia begins his campaigns in the southern Muslim provinces. 1478 – George, Duke of Clarence, convicted of treason against his older brother Edward IV of England, is executed in private at the Tower of London. 1637 – Eighty Years' War: Off the coast of Cornwall, England, a Spanish fleet intercepts an important Anglo-Dutch merchant convoy of 44 vessels escorted by 6 warships, destroying or capturing 20 of them.  

BIRTHS: 1374 – Saint Jadwiga of Poland, queen of Poland (d. 1399) 1404 – Leon Battista Alberti, Italian painter and philosopher (d. 1472) 1516 – Queen Mary I of England (d. 1558) 1530 – Uesugi Kenshin, Japanese samurai and warlord (d. 1578) 1543 – Charles III, Duke of Lorraine (d. 1608)  

DEATHS: 806 – Tarasius, Patriarch of Constantinople (b. 730) 814 – Angilbert, Frankish monk and confidant of Charlemagne 901 – Thabit ibn Qurra, Arab astronomer and mathematician (b. 826) 999 – Pope Gregory V (b. 972) 1139 – Prince Yaropolk II of Kiev (b. 1082)  

 HOLIDAYS and OBSERVANCES: (now this is a whole lot easier, lol) Christian Feast Day: Colmán of Lindisfarne Flavian of Constantinople Simeon of Jerusalem (Western Christianity) February 18 (Eastern Orthodox liturgics) Independence Day, celebrates the independence of the Gambia from the United Kingdom in 1965. DONE! :D

GT: Reunited

Wee!! This is going to be so out of order and I apologize I'm still joining anyway. :D Back in my old school days we really don't own a camera until I reach college. But even then I am not so fond of using it if not for special events like birthdays and other social gatherings. It is not as friendly as how the modern digital cameras are of today. Now that explains why I don't have so much pictures during my younger years. And that explains further why I don't have any of them scanned, LOL! But I have here pictures of me and my High School mates during our last batch reunion in December last year. I hope this will do.
The structure behind is our old school... with its 16-year worth changes. A statue of Mother Mary is actually with us. Can you spot her face in the picture above?
Before partying at night, we've decided to do a little outreach program in the morning and this is where we gathered together. Well... don't we look like we are just still in High School in white tee shirts? :D

GT: Why not Math and Not Accounting?

Since this is just a new blog, I gotta be counting here Kat's Box and Dice's firsts. Initially, I am thinking of joining at least 3 PMC member-hosted memes for this blog and yesterday, Wednesday I was looking forward to join the Beautiful Wednesday meme hosted by Trish of Thoughts Online for a start but unfortunately for some reasons her entry for the week wasn't up. Well there will always be a next time they say so I just decided to move on to the next and for that I am gladly considering Thursday's pop Girls Talk by Kaye of BeautyQueenGene. I love this meme in fact I also play GT with my other blogspot blog here. <=== End of Intro ===>LOL!

So, here we go for this week's theme. MOST HATED SUBJECT. Aww!!! For that I got two - Math and Accounting respectively. Okay so that Math I believe is self-explanatory. What I don't understand was why Mass Communication students like me has to have Accounting subjects and take note not just one but two. Waahh!! Didn't that make feel dizzy just thinking about numbers every time? But one good thing about it is that our school designed a separate Accounting subject class just for us MassCom students - that made it less intimidating seeing we all have equal regard to the subject. Plus the teacher assigned to us seemed to understand. The result: we all passed the subject. HAHAHA! Now back to the MATH. I always stand to my principle that as long as I know how to do the 4 elementary operations, I should be fine. Not like Physics is essential to our mundane living, LOL! :D
