Google Doodle: Gregor Mendel's Birthday

It's been some time since I last posted a Google Doodle (or Google Art as I used to call it). This one is to celebrate Gregor Mendel's 189th Birthday!

According to Wikipedia Gregor Mendel was known as the "Father of Modern Genetics". This was due to his experiments on Plant Hybridization on pea plants.

Google celebrates Earth Day

Happy Earth Day! I just love Google's art logo for today. I couldn't save it as is because it was animated so I had to do a print screen instead.

Aside from Earth day, which is celebrated every April 22nd (but others celebrate it every March 20th), it is also Good Friday. We're planning to stay indoors and spend time with the family. We will probably end up watching some DVDs with Little Missy, or some cartoons on cable that have new episodes for Earth Day.


Let's see what happens but for now, I wish you a blessed Good Friday and a Happy Earth day. Any plans for today with your family?

The day to fool around!

Yay one more day and it's April!

I have yet to think of prank to pull on everyone today but as I was finishing some things online, I noticed Google's logo.

Apparently, it's Robert Bunsen's 200th birthday today. I didn't even have to click the link to know that he was responsible for the Bunsen Burner. That's probably the only thing I remember from my Chemistry classes in high school and college. To refresh your memory, below is a pic of Robert Bunsen and the Bunsen burner.

Do you participate in April fools? Have you thought of what prank to pull tomorrow?

International Women's Day 2011 and my 1st Blogaversary

First, thank you Google for commemorating this day with all of us women. As I clicked on the logo, it actually took me to a special page where we can join different events for the day instead of resulting to search pages. I joined te International Women's Day Parade - Stronger Women for Stronger Nations which was supposed to be a walk in one of the cities nearby but I never did leave the house. I virtually joined the event which was really, really cool.


Next, I am honored to have been in the presence of Sr. Mary John Mananzan when I was still in High School (she became President 4 years after I graduated HS). She has inspired a lot of women in our country and I hope that more women realize that we are strong, that we have rights, that we are smart and that we should be loved. Sr. Mary John Mananzan was cited by the New York-based Women Deliver to mark the 100th International Women's Day.

Lastly, today also marks my first blogaversary. My very first post, My Blog-breaker was posted on March 8th, 2010 at 3:51pm. I am happy to say that in a year of blogging I have learned a lot. I have been (and still am being) educated about the workarounds in this internet-based world. Through blogging, I have also earned somehow from the confines of my home while caring for my little Missy 24/7. Thank you everyone who shared this 1-year journey with me. Thank you to my super husband who supported me all the way and never failed to let me know that I am appreciated. Thank you to all my mommy friends from all over the world (OCB, HML, BC, PMB/PMC).

I am proud to be a woman. I am proud to be a wife and a mom. I am proud to be your friend. I hope you'll journey with me for many, many more years to come.

Google today

I haven't been blogging much since the holidays but this new image from the Google page made me so curious.  It's amazing how they find these stuff!

Apparently, it's Paul Cézanne's 172nd Birthday.  Due to my curiosity, I saw some of his works and found them interesting.  I'm not really into art so "interesting" is good.

Glad to know Google gives tribute to icons such as him.  Happy birthday Paul Cézanne. :D
