Happy - and lucky - birthday!

Yesterday was August 8, and when I was living in HKG, this date was considered the luckiest date ever. The number 8 is considered lucky, so having double 8s meant double luck.

For the chinese, being born on August 8 is auspicious. And in our immediate family, we don't have just a single birthday celebrator - we have doubles as well!

So, happy birthday to my 2 cousins: Cristina in Spain and Harold who's right here in Manila right now. (Though I have no idea where he is.)

Have a lucky birthday to you both! We're lucky to have you as cousins.
