08.08.08: How are you today?

c’mon, get me if you can…♫ a praying mantis from bali ♫ by bocavermelha-l.b..
 
 
I hope today is a special day to you - just as special as every other day in your life. It is a special day for me today ..... because I am still alive! ....
 
To watch another sunrise,

to catch another train ride,

to hear the swallows chirping just right infront of my office,

to enjoy another mug of 'teh tarik'

to win another battle at work .

But I got the feeling it is not going to be a difficult one because today is FRIDAY! and I will soon have another weekend to celebrate!

Why today is a special day to YOU?

Today 8.8. 2008 - 3 eights in a row. To the Chinese people, number 8 is considered a lucky number. The main reason has to do with the pronunciation of the word 'eight' in Chinese. In Pinyin, a common romanisation of Mandarin, the word sounds like 'prosper' or 'wealth'. It is pronounced 'ba' and sounds like the word for prosperity which is pronounced 'fa'.

Whatever it means to you, I hope TODAY is indeed a special day to you and the rest of your family! Happy 8.8.2008!

Love - Larra

  1. Yes, any day that I am alive is a lucky day! There is so much beauty and promise ahead, even at times when it does not appear to be so. The little praying mantis in the picture looks like he is waving hello, lol
