february 29...

...is one extra day given to us in every four years.

have you ever asked yourself why?
did you wiki the answers?
do you know someone whose birthday falls on february 29?
have you ever thought of doing something 'extra' today?

time runs so fast that we always say "there's no more time", "we need more time", "time is running out" and so on. now that you have this extra 24 hours, do you have anything productive to do?

i never cared about leap year and now i realize this february 29 is like a freebie of 24 hours of your life (well, maybe except if you die on feb 28th of a leap year. okay, not funny.) there's something about this extra day. i'm halfway through the day and i need to find out what that 'something' is. or maybe i'm just being weird today.

anyway. a trivia from wikipedia.

There is a tradition that women may make a proposal of marriage to men only in leap years, further restricted in some cases to only February 29. There is a tradition that in 1288 the Scottish parliament under Queen Margaret legislated that any woman could propose in Leap Year; few parliament records of that time exist, and none concern February 29.[1] Another component of this tradition was that if the man rejects the proposal, he should soften the blow by providing a kiss, one pound currency, and a pair of gloves (some later sources say a silk gown). There were similar notions in France and Switzerland.

amazing, huh? HAPPY LEAP YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!! =)
