Today & tomorrow




Friday the 13th.. it's today.

Well known for being the Bad Luck Day.. however, it has very special history of its own.. People manipulate over the time, & hence Friday 13!!! It was actually a combination of 2 superstitious thingy..


1) 13 is considered not good.. Since it is after the number 12; 12 months, 12 hrs, 12 signs of zodiac, 12 god of olympus & alot of 12 wonders.. 13 comes after 12, hence the incompleteness..
2) Friday considered unlucky.. somehow due to some christian story, also the black friday where economy slumped way down..


So, people compile these two, and voila... Friday 13... However.. I seemed to like the number 13 very much; its my number and obviously i like friday as it is the last day of the working week... meaning the begining of my weekend.. My partime job is being part time athelete...

Valentine's day.. it's tomorrow...

There are different versions of how Valentine's Day originated. Some says that Roman King abolished marriage as unmarried lads make good soldier. However, there is a priest name Valentine went on to validate marriage & got killed after that, hence Valentines day. Also some say that Valentine was prisoned as he protested when Roman King jailed all Christian. He got to know a girl in the prison & fell in love. On the day he was killed, wrote a love letter signed Valentine to his love... Valentine's day was celebrated after that.

What ever it is, it is meant for the lover's day now.. though my friends are muslim mostly & they dont celebrate... as i think because its religion thing.. but i would like to dedicate the love day to my sisters.. deq & niza.. ( my sis as well)...


Rowing sisterhood - as we were in the rowing team last time.. we were rivals during training, we trained together, went for races together.. diet to lose weight... ergo tests, weights training.. gossiped & went through many things together.. we were in the national rowing team.. times were hard for us, as we struggled to work/study as well as training... we had our beloved coach, and the rest of the rowing team.. we were also degil when we quietly went for adventure races while coach disallowed that.. somehow, we told him anyway...


now that all of us have our own path, hope for the best...& Happy Valentines Day to deq & niza... n all my great gurl friends...
