Finding Easter: How do they come up with a date?


I will not give a long introduction to make this post as brief as possible, but I am sure there are people who still wonder how in the world do they know when the Holy Week is in a year.

I am no legit scientist to talk about deep concepts, but I really want to share my knowledge on how to find Easter in a much simpler way.

Songs that Bring Back the Old Times (Part Three: Hear Me Out)

Introduction. High school days, yes, it is indeed one of the most memorable moments in our lives. It is when we had our first crushes, first heartbreaks, and for some, first taste of "romantic" relationships.

To some of my closest friends, they knew what I went through. They may be laughing while they are listening/reading the words and songs that I am about to post here, because they may remember everything, all my crushes and all the stupidity that I did, all the moments I had in China and the Facebook posts that said it all.

It is good to know that we have songs to relate to the events that made us. It is consoling to have songs that can actually speak our hearts out.

So, to all the readers that happened to pass by this post, there's only one thing I ask of you...

Hear me out.

Songs that Bring Back the Old Times (Part Two)

For the third and last part of this blog series, please click here.

Introduction. The first part (1995-2001) is all about the songs that I really longed for. I must have searched for several years to find them. Thank goodness the search went successful. This time, the songs that I picked from hundreds of hits between 2002 and 2007 remind me of my elementary days. During this period, my song preference is really diverse, however, I became aware of myself being a "music lover," I started to believe that songs can soothe me, console me, and bring me happiness.

Well, let's get to it, shall we?
