Why does February only has 28 days?

February is wrapping up. It is a short month because it is “missing” days, but why does this month only have 28 days (or 29 in a leap year) instead of 30 or 31 as the other months do?

The reason can be found looking back in history to the time of the Romans. At that time the year had 10 months called Martius (March), Aprilis (April), Maius (May), Iunius (June), Quintilis (which became July), Sextilis (later becoming August), September October, November and December. In this calendar, months alternated with having 30 or 31 days in a year totaling 304 days. The others were simply winter days in which there was nothing worth celebrating, no agriculture or production and in short, were just considered unimportant.

Crochet Hook Holder

I just finished another crochet creation yesterday!

Inherited Hook from my Grandmother

Hi again! =)

I am working on some new crochet projects now so I'm gonna post something for the meantime.
Since we are talking crochet here, you've got to have a yarn and a hook. Speaking of hook, I got my first steel hook from my grandmother.

Facts about Valentine's Day

Did You Know?

•  There are different opinions as to who was the original Valentine was, but the most popular theory  dates back to the time of the Roman Empire and the reign of Claudius II, 270 AD. Claudius believed that single men made better soldiers and did not want his men to marry during wartime. Bishop Valentine went against his wishes and performed secret wedding ceremonies. Valentine was jailed and then executed by order of the Emperor on February 14. While in jail, he wrote a love note to the jailor's daughter signing it, "From your Valentine." In any event, in 496 A.D., Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor St. Valentine. Through the centuries, the Christian holiday became a time to exchange love messages and St. Valentine became a patron saint of lovers. In the 1840s, Esther Howland, a native of Massachusetts, is given credit for sending the first Valentine cards. The spirit of love continues as valentines are sent with sentimental verses and children exchange valentine cards at school.

Tomorrow is Another day

How can you cope up when something went wrong?
What if that thing really meant something to you, something so close you can almost touch it and yet it disappears all of the sudden?
You gave your very best effort to achieve it, your time and your dream and yet it would all came down to zero again and again and again...

It's my Birthday Today!

It's my birthday today! Yes, I am now a 22 year-old lady but my looks don't show it.

I have received a lots of greetings from friends and of course from my family. And all I can say is "Thank you" with smiley icon.

Actually, yesterday I was feeling bored at the same time disappointed. Something happened and although I've been anticipating for the bad outcome, I still felt disappointed both with myself and them.
To ease that weariness, I decided to make a gift for myself as reward for striving hard.

I tried to make a birthday card for myself!

Accidentally-Made Valentine Card

I was feeling so bored yesterday and I could not do anything but to just lie down in bed. After a few minutes, I jumped off the bed and thought of something to do. An idea came up to my mind. Why don't I just make lots of Valentine's Day item since it is just a week to go. So I pulled my crochet materials down the floor and started to crochet a heart. I thought of making hearts with different sizes to make a mobile. I crocheted one heart a-not-so-good-in-a-shape-heart. I paused for a moment, not satisfied with the heart I've made. I then glued the heart in a piece of paper folded in two and decided to make a Valentine card instead of making a mobile. So I added a three-inch long trimming just above the heart. The card looked more ugh! I don't know how to describe it, it just turned out something not that attractive.
