Those crons fire on 25 May and every Sunday.
There is similar example in "man crontab".
Try replacing the day-of-week parameter with an "*" if you want the cron to execute annually on 25 May.
By the way 25 May 2009 is a Monday (it was a Sunday in 2008).

gtimer - an application for recording time spent on user-defined tasks. SYNOPSIS
gtimer [-midnight offset] [-weekstart day] [-nosplash] [-resume] [-start task] DESCRIPTION
GTimer allows the user to time one or more activities. Users define tasks that can be timed. Text annotations can also be added to tasks. Reports can be generated that summarize time spent and annotations. OPTIONS
-midnight offset Specify the offset of midnight to use. Users can allow time spent after midnight to be recorded for the previous day. For exam- ple, the command gtimer -midnight 400 will not consider everything 3:59AM the previous day. -weekstart day Specify which day of the week should be considered the beginning of the week when generating reports. day should be a number between 0 and 6, where 0 is Sunday. For example, the command gtimer -weekstart 1 will use Monday as the first day of the week for all weekly reports. The default is 0 (Sunday). -resume Start timing any tasks that were still be timed when GTimer last exited. -start taskname Start timing the specified task immediately. This option can be used more than once on the command line. For example, you can start a tasks with: gtimer -start 'GTimer development' -nosplash Do not display the splash window on startup. FILES
