Leap Year

Apparently, my February is not like any other. It only happens once in a quarter of a score; or once every four years, which makes 2008 the last year when we had this phenomenon. It's called Leap Year, and apparently, it has become a holiday for some.

The main reason for this is very scientific. The actual days in a year is 365.25. So, every fourth year, the days will be 366 to make up that 1/4 for every year. That's why it has been leap year. Now the reason why February is kind of mysterious and I don't know why.

Leap Year is very exciting for me because I get to know how people who celebrate their birthdays today actually celebrate their birthdays. Out of curiosity, I asked this question on Facebook and there was actually a comment saying, "they either celebrate their birthday on February 28 or March 1." Cool! So I've heard this on the news before but I'm not quite sure so I said this again online. So February 28 or March 1, ei. I thought they would celebrate every four years. Haha. That means their four times younger than everyone of us in numbers. How I would wish that my birthday's on a 29th February. No blowouts. More money. And more special and worth remembering because my real birth date would only come every after four years. I've not yet known any friend who celebrated their birthday today. There was no one on Facebook. There was one on Twitter but he was a complete stranger.

Well, February 29 went right so far.Until the next Leap Year. (That would be about 2016 already.)
