yes. i'm blogging about my birthday :)
one lazy day, I just thought of Googling my birth date, curious of what would appear in the search results (yes, being narcissistic am I :D). Then i found out that I share the same birthday with some popular people in history, that my birthday was the day one very talented fashion designer died, that my birthday (same with the year) was the date that a volcano which has been dormant for alsmost 600 years erupted for the first time and affected a large portion of the globe.
So let's begin with the tragic side. The day Mt. Pinatubo erupted.
Well, according to some sources, Pinatubo began its pre-eruption stage on June 1991 and then ended up having its climatic eruption on June 15, (my roommate's birthday!) 1991 which resulted to an enormous depression in its summit, forming a caldera, which was 145 meters below the tip of the summit. wow. Thank you that I wasn't born anywhere near Mt. Pinatubo! This made Pinatubo eruption the 2nd largest eruption for the 20th century. The largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century was the 1912 eruption of Katmai-Novarupta in Alaska.

another tragedy: the death of Yves St. Laurent
A French designer, one of the celebrated personalities in the fashion industry, Yves Saint Laurent was indeed a significant loss in the fashion world. BTW, the YSL brand and fashion house is his. Though I'm not really a fan of high-end fashion like his, I still think that YSL has proven his worth and that his name will be not that easy to forget.
YSL in his late 70's?
and she really, really looks like Britney Spears.
well, the Britney before K-fed I suppose :))

and now to people who share the same birthday with me. first, Alanis Morisette
second: Marilyn Monroe
I bet this actress was and is still famous for her iconic pose and that blond hair and the mole :)) just like this.
this is for me her famous pose
she really does love to get her dress blown up!
I know I've listened to her songs (and I like it!) but I can't seem to remember the titles. She has won numerous Grammy awards and she's Canadian (Hi Robyn from How I Met Your Mother). But now, I don't think she's singing that much. Or if she were, I'm quite unfamiliar with her songs lately.

ohh wait how could I forget Heidi Klum!
well I've known her for being one of Victoria Secret's Angels and the girl who's married to Seal (which was quite unexpected for me). Heidi has been one of the famous fashion and tv personalities and according to wikipedia, she was in Ella Enchanted and The Devil Wears Prada. Hmm. I should review those films.

if you wanna see a less seductive pose, this would be it. still pretty :)

Aside from personally knowing four people in my social life that also also have the same birthday with me, it's cool to know these celebrities and personalities who are also affiliated with the first day of June. Btw, people born in June 1 tend to be like this :)
And yeah, I'm gonna miss my day. So June 1, see you in one year!(more or less)
