The Leap Years

Today is Feb 29, the Leap Year.
Leap Year happens every 4 years..
To people who are born on this date Feb 29, they only get to celebrate their birthday once every 4 years.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Gregorian calendar, the calendar used by most modern countries, the following three criteria determine which years will be leap years:

1. Every year that is divisible by four is a leap year;
2. of those years, if it can be divided by 100, it is NOT a leap year, unless
3. the year is divisible by 400. Then it is a leap year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

On this special day, I did something special too...
i.e. to go online and booked a ticket for myself to watch this unique and meaningful movie THE LEAP YEARS (29 Feb).

This show is filmed in an artistic manner..tho its kind of slow..but really meaningful and touching..I should say..
It set one's mind thinking...

(I will leave you to read about it in the link here THE LEAP YEARS.)

After watching this meaningful show, I learnt a precious lesson:
True love is worth waiting for, even if it takes a lifetime to...cause true love will last and gets even stronger when times goes by..even when both seems to be far apart in distance.
True love = Patient + Faith.
So like the movie says...Let's take a leap of faith...

Thus I decided to wait patiently upon my true love to come no matter how long it might take. Better to marry a man who truly loves you then to marry a man who you love. Many said, to love is bitter but to be loved is sweet..thus...I am withdrawing myself from bitterness from now on..so as to taste the sweetness of being loved.

hmm...wonderful and inspiring storyline....like the fragrance of a good cup of coffee..Haaa....

:) Cheers my friend...
True love will come knocking one day...take a spoonful of patient and mix it with a spoonful of faith..

Wish you happiness always.. =)

Final Destination of Everyone

Money often deceive us, leading us to forget we will die some day. Poor people will die, Rich people will also die.
In the bible, it says to the Rich, today your life will be taken from you, what will happen to the riches you have stored up for yourself.
So be Wise- store up for yourself treasures in heaven which never rot as it has eternal value.
Our stay in this world is but only max. hundred over years..
but compare to life in eternity after death, what seems long here is but only a grain in heaven.

My Zodiac

Angeline's Zodiac Sign - TAURUS

9 may Taureans never slap or sting. Rather, they creep up on you, affect you deeply and leave their indelible impression on your soul. Think of Taurus as a long sensual kiss. A huge tender bear hug. Or an eiderdown on a cold alpine night. Taureans are warm (but sometimes stodgy) customers.

Many Taureans work with their hands. Even if a Taurus is a computer expert and seems more cerebral than manual, nine times out of ten there is a hidden craft or hobby lurking behind the scenes. Taureans enjoy forging beautiful things from natural materials. In fact, they are attracted to all sorts of beauty. Music thrills them. Flowers enchant them. The countryside seduces them. And art is their natural habitat.

Taureans are forever building their own workshops and renovating barns and old churches. They are not only home-loving, they like to get their hands into the cement and slather on the plaster, if only for the tangible joy of playing in the mud.

Taureans do not take kindly to sudden change. They like to be wherever they are supposed to be when it is time to be there. Taureans readily adjust to routine and for that reason make fabulous employees. Precipitous and unexpected events requiring flexibility and resilience may cause Taureans to dig in their hooves and refuse to budge. Bulls are obstinate and determined to hold their ground. It is wiser not to try to talk Taurus out of a sulk. Just let him paw the earth and snort and seethe on his own. Take a tranquilizer and a walk. Soon, when the inevitable becomes blatantly inevitable, Taurus will budge of his own accord, come out of his sulk and go with the flow.

Sensuality belongs to Taurus. Wherever there is pleasure you will find a Taurean plunk in the middle of it all. They love to bask in the "good life." Taureans cannot resist the tug of the opposite sex. When an attractive newcomer arrives on the scene, count on Taurus to see to it that the outsiders have a drink, are made comfortable and have slipped Taurus a telephone number or two.

Taureans are amorous and romantic without being flighty or maudlin. They are tender and don't mind public displays of affection. Love and all of its expressions appeal to the Bull. Taureans can be counted on to stray a bit where sex is concerned, but they never flaunt their infidelities and usually avoid sticky extracurricular entanglements. If you love a Taurus, feed him.
