Happy Birthday Greeting Anna and Marissa are best friends since childhood. They were classmates from kinder until grade 8 when Anna's family needed to migrate to Alofi, Niue – a small island country in the Pacific. Anna's parents are both medical missionary doctors. Îvarissa, on the other hand, remained in Manila, Philippines, where her parents are both university professors. Even though they were miles apart, the two girls kept in contact through Facebook. A year after Anna migrated, her birthday is coming up and Marissa wanted to greet her a happy birthday. Because Marissa is still in grade 9, she asked for her mother's help in using Facebook to greet her friend. Marissa created an electronic happy birthday greeting card and sent it to Anna at exactly 12:00 am of July 30 – Anna's birthday. She was so happy because she was the first to greet Anna on her birthday. Anna replied thank you to Marissa even though Anna thought it was an advanced greeting since it's just July 29 in Niue. Anna's reply was, "Thank you, Marissa for your very early greeting. My birthday is tomorrow; however, I am so glad that you remembered it. Thank you so much." Marissa was confused with Anna's reply. "It's already July 30, so why does Anna say her birthday is tomorrow?" she thought. And because she was so confused, she went to her mother and asked. Her mother told her that there's a 19 hour difference between Anna's place and theirs. Marissa then asked why time is delayed in Anna's place. So, her mother explained to her that it has something to do relatively with the geographic location and the time zone of the country where Anna is and that no matter what happens, July 30 is stil| Anna's birthday.
