Events Of March 14

Today, March 14, is celebrated as different events in the world, and it's also the daylight saving time begins. Wow! What a meaningful day! I fell grateful about the great mathematics. I feel romantic about White Day. And I want to toast to all the great mothers of United Kingdom. Well, just take your time enjoy your day as any kind of events, and send greetings to those ones you care and love.

Pi Day
Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day are two holidays held to celebrate the mathematical constant π (pi) (in the mm/dd date notation: 3/14); since 3, 1 and 4 are the first three digits of π. March 14 is also the birthday of Albert Einstein and the two events are sometimes celebrated together.

White Day
White Day is a day celebrated in Japan on March 14, one month after Valentine's Day. It is also observed in South Korea and Taiwan.

Mother's Day(UK)
The modern Mother's Day is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, often in May, as a day to honour mothers and motherhood.

thanks elaine! i didn't know about any of those holidays~ :)

i just came from another blog where i was reading about someone attending a st. patrick's day celebration too. that is mar. 17th i think.

so nice that people are talking about holidays today. it is such a good way to learn about other cultures - to find out the things they celebrate and the history behind the day.

happy holidays to you! :)

thanks katie for your coming here and blessing! i think it gets harder to keep traditions today. i feel glad these are still existed and celebrated by people. and i found it's interesting to know the other cultures as i googled. before that, i didn't know some of those holidays, either.
good cheers and joys around you~
