AJ PEREZ

UNANG pelikula ni AJ Perez ang Kasal Kasali Kasalo ng Star Cinema. Sobrang happy siya nang mapabilang sa blockbuster movie dahil nakatrabaho niya ang hinaha-ngaan niyang mga artista.

Masuwerte rin siya dahil naging part siya ng magandang project na ito na nagkaroon pa ng sequel titled Sakal Sakali Saklolo last year.

Isa sa mga matinee idol si AJ na kabilang sa cast ng ba-gong youth oriented show na Astigs with Enchong Dee, Chris Gutierrez, Angelo Patrimonio at Dino Imperial.

Bukod sa pagiging isang celebrity, consistent honor student din si AJ at aktib sa kanyang school bilang atleta. Binibigyan ng prioridad ni AJ ang kanyang schooling kahit busy siya sa kanyang showbiz commitments. Fifteen years old na si AJ nitong February 17.

MEGAN YOUNG

SUKI ng ilang TV shows si Megan Young bago pa siya naging Kapamilya ng Star Magic. Masaya siya sa takbo ng kanyang career ngayon kaya naman hindi siya nag-sisisi sa kanyang paglipat sa ABS-CBN from GMA-7.

Ang half-American, half-Pinay na si Megan ay mapa-lad na nabigyan ng mga pro-yekto sa Dos tulad ng Kokey at Abt Ur Luv. Hindi maka-lilimutan ni Megan ang unang sabak niya sa bakuran ng Dos. Ipinareha siya kay Pio-lo Pascual sa Star Magic anniversary sa ASAP at nasundan ito nang siya rin ang napiling leading lady para sa music video ng singer-actor.

Magiging part ng Astigs cast si Megan kung saan ipa-pareha sa kanya si Enchong Dee. 18th birthday ni Megan nitong Feb. 27.

Today is Leap Day Feb 29

Hello Guys!!

little history about leap year

February 29, 2008

The year 2008 is a leap year. If you look at a 2008 calendar, you will see that February has five Fridays–the month begins and ends on a Friday. Between the years 1904 and 2096, leap years that share the same day of week for each date repeat only every 28 years. The most recent year in which February comprised five Fridays was in 1980, and the next occurrence will be in 2036. February 29, the leap day, has been associated with age-old traditions, superstitions and folklore.

What is a leap year?

A leap year is a year in which one extra day has been inserted, or intercalated, at the end of February. A leap year consists of 366 days, whereas other years, called common years, have 365 days.

Why are leap years needed?

Leap years are needed to keep our calendar in alignment with the earth’s revolutions around the sun.

Brief History of Leap Day

In ancient Rome, leap day was on February 24 due to February being the last month of the calendar. The original Roman calendar added an extra month every few years to maintain the correct seasonal changes. The Julian calendar was implemented in 45 BCE, resulting in a leap day being added to the end of February every four years.
In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII refined the Julian calendar with a new rule that a century year is not a leap year unless it is evenly divisible by 400. The introduction of the Gregorian calendar was observed in some countries including Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Spain. The conversion took longer for other countries such as Great Britain (1752) and Lithuania (1915).

Tradition, Folklore and Superstition

A tradition was introduced many centuries ago to allow women to propose to men during a leap year. This privilege of proposing was restricted to leap day in some areas. Leap day was sometimes known as “Bachelors’ Day”. A man was expected to pay a penalty, such as a gown or money, if he refused a marriage offer from a woman.
The tradition’s origin stemmed from an old Irish tale referring to St Bridget striking a deal with St Patrick to allow women to propose to men every four years. This old custom was probably made to balance the traditional roles of men and women in a similar way to how the leap day balances the calendar.
It was also considered to be unlucky for someone to be born on a leap day in Scotland and for couples to marry on a leap year, including on a leap day, in Greece.

Have a nice day ^_^ !!
