Leap year

Today is February 29 so called the leap year. It means an added day to the month of February which is supposed to be only 28 days. This kind of event occurs only every after four years so that the calendar days will be the same with seasonal or astronomical year.

There are many traditions during the leap year. In Denmark and Finland, there would be a compensation if the man refuse the woman's proposal on leap year. The man should buy 12 pairs of gloves and fabric for skirt on the latter. Moreover, in Greece it is considered unlucky for marriage.

Well,I am just lucky that my birthday falls on October 04. I have to celebrate it in normal days. But one thing I know today, I have to spend my Jolibee Tipid Card because today is the last day. (Hahaha!!!) See you in Jolibee outlet stores :-)

BDO Cash card

Today, my parents send me money or the company send me salary through BDO Cash card. What is a BDO Cash Card? BDO cash card is just like a reloadable card. It does not earn interest and has no maintaining balance unlike the savings account card. However, you can get money from the ATM machine.

There are three types of cash cards. The first one is the Retail Pre-Embossed cash card in which the card contains no name and the maximum balance that you could send in the card is P10, 000. You can get this card three working days after you applied. The second one is Retail Embossed cash card in which it contains the name of the owner with a maximum balance of P25,000 and can be get 14 working days from the day that you applied. The last one is the Corporate Embossed card in which you need a corporate ID because the sender can send you up to P100, 000.

In my case, I got the Retail Embossed card. I just presented one valid ID with photocopy and paid only P120. However, when applying and sending money you need to go the BDO bank in the morning because the system only works during that day. Moreover, the sending of money is free if you only send one cash reloading slip however if you have two cash reloading slips, you need to pay the other cash reloading slip.

Valentines Day

Tomorrow, everyone will be celebrating Valentines day. It will be a very important event for the lovers, friends and families. As expected, the prices of flowers will be increasing and restobars will have more income.

In Japan, there will be an opposite pattern. The girl will be the one who will give flower or chocolates to the boy. I used to remember my half-Japanese guy friend will have a lot of flowers and chocolates during this day.

Anyway, as we celebrate this event, let us not forget the true meaning of valentines day. It means sharing love and forgiving the so called "ex" if he did something wrong.

Tyrone's birthday bash

Yesterday, our family celebrated the 1st birthday of my youngest cousin King Tyrone. His name Tyrone is a combination of my aunt and uncle's name. It was held in Ladislawa Country Club. Dont be misled by the venue because our family is not rich. Hahaha. Furthermore, the party's motif was Barney and his friends.

Moreover the party was attended by his parent's family and friends. It started with games hosted by a clown wearing a yellow dress. I was fascinated by the clown because she was fluent in english and had the ability to make the children laugh. I wondered how she got her talent? Is it in the genes? The next was the serving of food.The foods were served by "handsome" waiters. I really wondered if physical appearance is an important asset of a waiter. The third part was the exhibition of a magician. My cousin got angry with me because I forgot my camera. According to her, the magician was a finalist in Pinoy Got Talent. I just shrugged my shoulder because I was not watching those shows. The last part was the dancing of Barney, my most favorite part. Hahaha.. I really love it because I love hugging mascots. I took a picture with Barney together with Tyrone and some of the children.

I could say that the party was successful because the audience were happy and satisfied. King Tyrone never cried. He just silently watched his party.

Well, I just wish that Tyrone will have good health and may the Lord put His hand on him. God bless Tyrone!

A picture with no smile

These past few days, I am completing my requirements in the company. One of the requirements that I should do was to give them a picture with no smile. I was really shocked because I was not used with it. All of my life, I have been smiling whenever I will the take the picture. I have a picture with no front teeth when I was about four or five years old. Hahahaha...



Moreover, I was thinking where would I post it wherein no friends would see it. Nevertheless, I decided it to post on my blog. However, as what they said "Looks can be deceiving". Hahahah... When you see me in person, I am a very simple girl. I dont even put face powder in my face or comb my hair. Some of my friends will tell me that I look like an old lady. There were times that the store keeper would not give what I want because she thought that I couldn't afford it. Hahahah...

The only reason why I look pretty in this picture because I am oblige to put face powder in my face, comb my hair and put some lip coloring.
