September Madness

The First of September means the end of something and the beginning of another.

The first of two steps towards the end of a journey happens on the Fourth.

The Sixth brings me to my 25th.

The Fifteenth is 100 before 12.25.

09.09.09 09:09:09.

The second of those two steps occurs on the Twenty-first.

The Twenty-second is 100 before 2010.

I should have at least 8 by the Twenty-fifth.

Thirtieth.

One Second Here, One Second There

From AFP:

New Year on hold: leap second makes time stand still

PARIS (AFP) — Eager to see the back end of 2008? Be forewarned: the world's official timekeeper has decided to prolong the year -- by one full second, to be precise.

Which means a Champagne-soaked countdown to 2009 something like this: "...THREE, TWO, ONE-AND-A-HALF, ONE... Happy New Year!"

The extra second was mandated by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) in Paris, and is not to be taken lightly.

Satellites that orbit at speeds calculated in kilometres (miles) per second, the Internet, global positioning systems -- all depend on knowing exactly what time it is.

IERS head Daniel Gambis announced the time-stretching measure in July in a letter addressed to "authorities responsible for the measurement and distribution of time".

That would be the white-robed guardians of the 200-odd ultra-accurate atomic clocks scattered in national time temples around the globe.

"The last adjustment dates to 2005, and the next could happen in 2012 or 2013," Gambis told AFP.

Leap days occur once every four years because it takes 365 days plus six hours for our planet to complete an orbit around the Sun.

But leap seconds are added strictly on a case-by-case basis, depending on need. This year's will be the 24th bonus second since the practice was initiated in 1972.

The sleight-of-clock is necessary to reconcile two different time scales.

One is established by the atomic time pieces, which are accurate to billionth of a second per day.

The other is based on Earth's imperfect rotation on its own axis.

The two get out of sync because the planet's spin is affected by a host of slightly fluctuating variables, including solar and lunar gravity, the movement of the tides, solar wind, space dust and magnetic storms.

Even global warming has gotten into the act because melting ice caps have an impact too.

And so, at exactly 23:59:59 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) -- or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), to the scientifically literate -- on December 31, the world's clocks will add a beat to their metronomic tick tick tock.

My Bestfriends' Wedding

Yup, the apostrophe was appropriately placed after 's'. My two college best friends John Glenn Kilayko and Maydeline Que are getting married today.

I am part of their entourage as the Cord Sponsor. I can hardly put into words how happy I am to witness a very special moment in my friends' lives.

May God always nurture their bond with His blessings and guidance, and I wish them peace and happiness throughout their married life...

Okay, I need some rest now.

Facts Here, There, Everywhere

September 6 is the 249th day of the year (250th of this year and of every leap year). There are 116 days remaining until the end of the year (and 110 days before Christmas). British tennis stars Greg Rusedski and Tim Henman plus Prince Hisahito of Japan were all born on this date while Luciano Pavarotti succumbed to pancreatic cancer also on this same day last year. Swaziland celebrates its independece from the British Empire whereas USA and Canada observes Stillbirth Remembrance Day on September 6 every year.

1984 was a leap year starting on a Sunday. The XIV Winter Olympic Games were held at Sarajevo, (Former Yugoslav Republic of) Bosnia and Herzegovina in February while the XXIII Summer Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles, USA in July-August. The first MTV Video Music Awards Night was held September 14 and 36 of Britain's and Ireland's top musicians formed Band Aid and recorded the song "Don't They Know It's Christmas" to raise funds for Ethiopia famine relief.

Yeah, this is how I celebrate the last one minute of my 24th birthday. Playing DotA and doing boring (and nerd) stuff.

Greet Me Here, There, Everywhere

Another year has come and gone.

Wait, this resembles my post last year. So, tamang-tama, another year has come and gone... But wait, there's more - do you know that Facebook has something like this:

Thank you to the Facebook Team (haha) and to the following people who greeted me just in time, after the clock struck 12:

Cholle, Winston, Topher, Chris, Martz, TJ and my DotA-mates (cleric0730, hunk123, denhizz, tasky_earl, ecemike, jokiz, hellboie, hell_boie, and a dozen more hehe).

8 Here, There, Everywhere

The opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics 2008. The 27th birthday of outgoing tennis #1 Roger Federer. The will-be wedding anniversary for many superstitious couples.

And then, the perfect symmetry - 08/08/08 08:08 AM.

They say this is a lucky day? Perhaps... but, I guess, only for the lucky ones.

Leap Year, There, Everywhere

Wala lang, I just want to have a blog entry that is dated 29 February. Hahaha...

Anyway, to make this entry blog-worthy, okay, let me share with you the link of Wikipedia's definition of leap year. You might find it interesting to know that leap year doesn't occur in all years divisible by four, and there is also such a thing as leap week and even leap second.

Leap year

Holiday Confusions Everywhere

After declaring February 25 as a working holiday of observance, Malacañang Palace recalled its previous press release and made Monday next week a special non-working holiday. This is in line with the 22nd Anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution that ousted former President Ferdinand Marcos and installed the country's first ever woman president Corazon Aquino.

----
Malacañang has declared February 25, the 22nd anniversary of the 1986 People Power uprising that restored democracy in the country, as a non-working holiday.

President Arroyo, in signing Proclamation No. 1462, said the entire nation should be given the opportunity to observe the “milestone" in the country's history, which has a theme this year of “Kapayapaan at Pagkakaisa Tungo sa Kaunlaran."

“The historic event, which restored and ushered political, social, and economic reforms in the
country, serves as an inspiration to Filipinos everywhere as we contnnue to chart our collective
course as a nation and as a people," the president said.

President Arroyo also signed Proclamation No. 1463, which lists the regular holidays and special non-working days for year 2008.

The order is in compliance with Republic Act 9492, which rationalizes the celebration of national holidays. The law provides that holidays, except those that are religious, would have to be move to the nearest Monday unless otherwise modified by a law or presidential order.

Under Proclamation No. 1463, the regular holidays are: Maundy Thursday (March 20); Good Friday (March 21); Araw ng Kagitingan (April 7, which is the nearest Monday to April 9); Labor Day (May 1); Independence Day (June 9, the nearest Monday to June 12); National Heroes Day (August 25, last Monday of August); Bonifacio Day (December 1, nearest Monday to Nov. 30); Christmas Day (Dec. 25); and Rizal Day (Dec. 30).

President Arroyo said Labor Day would still be celebrated on May 1 because it has been a “long cherished tradition of workers...which trade unions fought very hard for to institutionalize in the country and an international event that workers want to celebrate on the exact date."

She also said the special non-working holidays are: Ninoy Aquino Day (August 18, the nearest Monday to Aug. 21); All Saints Day (Nov. 1); Dec. 26 and 29, as special non-working days; and Dec. 31, because it is the last day of the year.

President Arroyo said Dec. 26 and 29 were declared as “additional special non-working days" so that Filipinos would have a “more meaningful observance of Christmas and New Year to strengthen their ties with one another."

She said the observance of Eid Il Fitr, which is the end of Ramadan, would be declared upon the recommendation of the Office of Muslim Affairs based on the Islamic calendar or Hijra.

Swipe Here, There, Everywhere

I have been my sister’s CITIBANK Master Card supplement since 2005. So every time I use my card, I earn her points. Two weeks ago, my very own HSBC Mabuhay Miles Visa Card application got approved. I activated it right away and planned to use it to purchase Incubus concert tickets. Mabuhay Miles has a promo – for an accumulated initial spending of PhP5000.00, I will get a round trip ticket to anywhere in the Philippines (except Mindanao). And from now on, I will finally get the hard-earned points in exchange of my own expenditures. Haha.

Earlier this evening, I went out with my college friends, Carlo, Cholle, Fil, Ige, Neil&Daphne, Roma, Ron&Kelly, and Teejay. We met at CTBL Gateway; though, I opted to buy coffee from Starbucks because I have a hundred bucks worth of GC. Ige and I then went to the Ticketnet outlet just in front of the main entrance of Araneta Coliseum to purchase 7 concert tickets. I gave my new Visa card to the cashier and alas, the machine flashed “CARD ERROR”. I didn't know what to do because the total price I owe the lady is around PhP14000.00. Phone booths are nowhere in the vicinity and when I asked the guard about where phone booths are, I was directed to a far place. To make the long story short, I was lucky to make a call to my bank and the service agent assured me that my card is functioning well – she instructed me to go back to the ticketing outlet and ask the saleslady to swipe my card again, this time slowly and surely. Holding my breath while she was trying to make the transaction again, I was finally relieved when I saw two sheets of receipts coming out of the card reader – meaning, my card was accepted. What a way to make “binyag” of the first credit card under my name.

We then moved to Dencio’s to dine. We had 5 sizzling plates of sisig, 2 servings of krispy kangkong, a dozen and a half of baked tahong, 200g of blue marlin, a plate of asparagus in garlic, sizzling mushroom and krispy hipon. Wow! As always, I was tasked to collect each and everyone’s contribution to the bill. A bright idea popped out of my head – I could use my new credit card to pay our bill, then I just have to pay my credit card bills using the money I collected from my friends. In return, I get more mileage. Bwahaha. Imagine, I consumed PhP16351.00 in one day? How many miles have I converted with that spending? I just need to pay my bills before the month ends so it won’t incur any interest.

Anyway, the night ended there. We parted ways around 9pm and as we headed to Gateway’s parking lot, Ige and I realized that no one took pictures of our night out. But this morning, I visited Cholle’s multiply site and saw that she and Teejay had a couple of shots taken in front of CBTL. Haha. Sila lang ang may picture.

So there… I can’t wait for March 9 – Incubus will be coming to Manila for their Pacific Rim Concert Tour. But before that, the gang planned to attend Monday and/or Tuesday nights of UP Fair (Loverage 2 and Rockestra 2). See you guys there!

Six months has passed since I took my licensure examination... I am now a licensed non-practicing ECE.

Six months has passed since my first day in HP... I am hoping to be regularized this coming fiscal year.

Six months hence... time indeed flies so quickly.
