WELCOME 2012 - YEAR OF THE WATER DRAGON

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OUR DEAR READERS. WE WELCOME YOU ALL FOR THE YEAR 2012, YEAR OF THE WATER DRAGON.

Just to give you a heads up and for those who don't know yet, read some details about the new year.


The New Year is the day that marks the time of the beginning of a new calendar year, and is the day on which the year count of the specific calendar used is incremented. For many cultures, the event is celebrated in some manner.
The New Year of the Gregorian calendar, today in worldwide use, falls on 1st January, continuing the practice of the Roman calendar. There are numerous calendars that remain in regional use that calculate the New Year differently.

The order of months in the Roman calendar has been January to December since King Numa Pompilius in about 700 BC, according to Plutarch and Macrobius. According to Christian mythology, 1 January is the day of the circumcision of Jesus (on the eighth day of his birth), when the name of Jesus was given to him (Luke 2:21).
It was only relatively recently that 1 January became the first day of the year in Western culture. Upto 1751 in England and Wales (and all the British King's dominions) the new year started on 25 March - Lady Day, one of the four quarter days (the change to 1 January took place in 1600 in Scotland)[2]. Since then, 1 January has been the first day of the year. During the Middle Ages several other days were the first (1 March, 25 March, Easter, 1 September, 25 December).

24 HOURS HAD PAST AND A MALL IN CEBU CITY, PHILIPPINES IT STILL BURNING

Gaisano Capital, one of the malls in Cebu City, Philippines, set on fire yesterday, December 23, 2011. Cebu City fire station received the alarm 12:42 a.m. from the guard on duty when the fire was started. But when the fire fighters arrived, some unidentified men blocked them from getting inside. The time hey were allowed, they've got a very hard time to see anything inside due to the very thick black smoke.

About 1, 000 employees of the said mall afriad they would loose their job because of the accident happened. Employees supposed to receive their salary but no report yet if it was given to them or not.

Until today, December 24, 5:30 p.m., black smoke were still coming from the mall. Fire fighters said that the thick black smoke slowed them down to permanently eleminate the fire inside.

Actual Video of the thick smoke coming out from Gaisano Capital South Mall
