Yesterday was 09/09/09. I think I remember hearing or reading that 9 was considered the luckiest number in the Philippines. So yesterday was the most auspicious day for Filipinos! Much like last year when 08/08/08 rolled around for the Chinese - 8 being the most auspicious number in China.
The number 9 holds a somewhat distinguished position in my life. As my BFF says, I'm legally mandated to wear the number 9 on my rugby jersey when I play. However, I'd just like to clear up one thing - I do not hate the number 9. I in fact like it. I hate numbers that end in 9 - 19, 29, 39, you get the picture. Weird, yes. But you can take it, or throw it right back.
Anyway, I bought into the idea of a "lucky day" yesterday and purchased a Powerball ticket.* Unfortunately, yesterday was not my lucky day. It rained on me on my bike, the gym was closed so I couldn't do my pool workout, and I didn't win the Powerball. Oh well, there's always 10/10/10, unless there isn't an October in next year... Next year being 2010.
*My brother asked that I buy this ticket for him. Sorry I didn't win buddy! :(
