8-8-08

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!

Brandon Boyd in Protect Your Largest Organ

(www.kitmeout.com)
This year, Marc Jacobs had this upraise or wake-up call for the people to protect our skin against any harmful diseases or sickness that might affect the largest organ of our body.
I was amazed to find out that together with an array of beautiful celebrities, Brandon has joined this program of Marc Jacobs. This is somewhat a kind of a CSR or Corporate Social Responsibility for Marc Jacobs to have a call for us to protect the, if not the most important, then the organ which, if not treated well, might let us get down with the big C.
Celebrities went naked for this Social Responsibility program by Marc Jacobs. They posed without any clothings on for photos and these photos were then printed in shirts. Cool shirts! And LUCKY us! Brandon was in the shirt, naked!
Aside from showing us how sexy he is, he's also opening our minds to protect the skin we're in as well as our largest organ.
These shirts with naked celebrities, promoting Skin Protection were said to be only available in Marc Jacobs stores. But I saw one in Ebay!
