Happy Leap Year everyone!
I bet you’ve already seen this on Google’s search page:
This is to commemorate Gioachino Rossini on his 220th birthday which falls on a leap year.
According to Wikipedia.com, Gioachino Antonio Rossini (29 February 1792 – 13 November 1868) was an Italian composer who wrote 39 operas as well as sacred music, chamber music, songs, and some instrumental and piano pieces. So that explains why one of the frogs seems to be on a high note while the rest adds up to the musical theme.
Rossini is also known as “The Italian Mozart” for his song-like melodies. He has a huge list of his composition and operas.
Have you seen the Google Doodle for today? Yeah, pretty wavy and colorful! This is to commemorate Heinrich Rudolf Hertz‘ 155th birthday.
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (February 22, 1857 – January 1, 1894) was a German physicist who clarified and expanded the electromagnetic theory of light that had been put forth by Maxwell. He was the first to satisfactorily demonstrate the existence of electromagnetic waves by building an apparatus to produce and detect radio waves.
- Wikipedia
Hertz is one of the most famous scientists I know in my high school life. Lol. I remember those Science and elective classes that involved invention and other studies. I love that subject!
Hertz developed the Hertz antenna receiver in 1886. He also developed the transmitting type of dipole antenna. Both of these are the simplest and practical antennas during that time. He continued his electromagnetic research in 1887 and experimented with radio waves. His discoveries gave rise to the wireless age that we are all enjoying today. Overall, Hertz’ experiments explain reflection, refraction, polarization, interference, and velocity of electric waves.
From then on Hz or hertz became the SI unit of frequency (cycles per second).
I’m soooo loving this month!
First, it started with the happiest new year! Then a blessed birthday followed by our sweet monthsary!
It’s really nice to celebrate things! 
Especially if there are lots of food…
Triple chocolate cake and peanut butter ice cream were simply the best!
love them!
What’s more to look forward to?
Well, it would be the Dark Ascension prerelease later and I am so excited about it! Gotta get cool new cards! The best part of it is that we’ll be playing for free since I’ve won PR passes from the previous weekend MTG tournament.
So, that’s it for now! I have to prep up and leave shortly.
Hello folks!
My blogs are still alive and so do I!
SWORD just transferred to a new host, that’s big thanks to Sam! Painless! Haha. At least for me.
Since I have access to this blog now, I am revamping the sidebar content. The recent changes in the blogosphere also call for bloggers action. Adgitize just closed down and Shoutmix free plan is no longer available. With this, I have to remove Adgitize and Shoutmix widgets from my blogs. I am also looking for a chat box alternative.
I have so much to blog here but I have to save some for my other blogs. LOL. Anyway, please stay tuned for more helpful posts. Aside from being online most of the time, I am also busy reading books and watching anime. I wish I can do book and anime reviews soon.
P.S.
My birthday is coming up…
No matter how tired you are, if you are happy, you won’t really mind. I just wanted to share that I really feel fulfilled each time I accomplished lots of things. And yesterday was one of those fulfilling days!
After having a good sleep and prepping up for a while, my boyfriend and I went to SM Centerpoint to meet up with Kuya ST for the MTG cards. It was supposed to be quick and smooth but we ended up with a long and entertaining conversation. Haha. Why not? We were discussing some Magic: The Gathering stuff – strategies, latest craze and what not. Kuya ST and Babu were having a serious talk. Kidding!
While listening to the two guys who were busy exchanging ideas, I saw MJ passed by so I called him out. Lol. He was my officemate and its been a while since I last saw him. After exchanging some belated greetings, he headed to where he was supposed to be going.
When we finally wrapped up things with Kuya ST, we headed to SM Department store to buy gifts for the kids – Lucian and Selphie. Thanks goodness! We didn’t spend much time in shopping. We’ve found the ideal gifts for them! McQueen for Lucian and Hello Kitty for Selphie. Easy!
We were late for the kiddie program at Lucian’s Lightning Mcqueen themed party. It’s just for the kids, anyway. Lol. We still made it for early dinner.
Once there were only few visitors left, we had the time to bond with Rei & KC’s family. Lucian just turned four and he’s still cute and polite. Such a nice kid.
We had another round of spaghetti plus coffee before we left.
Happy day!
