Aside from the fact that the Olympics is now being held in China, August 8, 2008 has this significance to more people. 888 in Chinese, are very much lucky numbers. I have once read in a newspaper when cellphone numbers had their birth, a Chinese, in China of course, really fought in bidding for the cellphone number which had three 8s in the end.
The number 8 is lucky in the Chinese lands because of its symmetrical shape. If the number 8 will be cut either horizontally or vertically, each will have a mirror of itself. In Chinese Astrology, symmetrical is ideal. (source: http://www.onlinechineseastrology.com/content-detail.aspx?ID=108)
I think one reason why number 8 is lucky if you ask some people here in the Philippines is because it does not have an end. It doesn't stop.
The date 8-8-08 is also lucky for weddings. Luckier, as they said, than the date 7-7-07.
Have a lucky 8-8-08 to all of you!
