The Blue Moon and The New Year

Well, on December 31st 2009, I waited for the new year to come. But before that, I saw in Yahoo! that there will be a Blue Moon on New Year's eve. The Blue moon is the "extra" full moon in years that have 13 full moons.
I went to the rooftop at the time 7pm (I was in Phillipines by then, not in Singapore, so there's a rooftop) I saw the moon which was at the side of the sky (not yet at the highest). It was so bright and the moon was unusually blue. But the blue moon I just saw was said to be "rear" becuase the blue moon appeared on the New Year's eve which the last time it happened was in 1990 and the next time it was predicted to happen will be on 2028, which will be every 19 years. Imagine how old you are when you see the next blue moon in New Year's eve. My great-aunt who believed in luck told everyone to got to the rooftop and have a look because she simply believed that the blue moon in New Year's eve will be lucky as it is only on every 19 years and it was on New Year's eve, so she believed it will bring luck to us all around the Year 2010. The wikipedia also stated at the Blue Moon was with a partial Lunar Eclipse (Not full).

At the stroke of midnight, we went to the rooftop again and see the fireworks in different directions. By midnight, the Blue Moon is at the highest and I noticed that the sky was bright as if the Blue Moon was the light. The sky was beautiful. I thought about how lucky was I to see The Blue Moon and see the Geminid Meteor Showers (it was somewhat about 40 shooting stars then I could wish on it) on the same month and Year and maybe I would like to see a blocked sun or a blood moon (meaning Solar eclipse and Lunar Eclipse respectively)

The next time I would want to see the Blue Moon on New Year's eve might be on 2028 when I'm about 31 years old. As I watched everyone celebrating the New Year, I told myself "this year, when the clock strikes 12, Year 2010 will appear and so is the Blue Moon at the sky at the highest. Now, I'm desperately searching for eclipse visible in Singapore. I really hope it I could see an eclipse.

I had two questions to ask:
1) Did you saw the Blue Moon?
2) Did you ever noticed that I'm interested about astrology? (seeing the blue moon, shooting star, eclipse etc.)
