It's 8/8/8 today and since the 2008 Olympics are in China, they purposely set the opening ceremony to begin at 8:08pm. There's a fixation on the number 8 because it's phonetically similar to the word for "wealth." People from Chinese countries pay top dollar for licence plates & phone numbers that have "888" in it. I'm sure there must've been an overload of weddings today as well. All of those things are controlled though... planned. True luck is something that comes unexpectedly... like childbirth expected in late August or September happening early. Which makes me proud to announce the newest member to my family, the lucky 8/8/8 daughter (to be named) of Julie Christine & Niño Mateo.
Congratulations!
