Seven it is

I was tagged way back in February by Neisy but I was too busy/lazy to do it.  Today I’ve been staring at the screen for the last hour and going through my drafts but still came up blank, so I thought why not, it just might break the block inside my head

  1. I like sitting in the dark.
  2. I am very bad at doing nothing, even when I am doing nothing, I am doing something.
  3. Nothing pisses me off like being underestimated.
  4. I think that most people don’t really know me.
  5. I feel like I am in a cocoon/metamorphosis phase in my life, I am just hoping that I eventually turn into a butterfly
  6. I still can’t figure out how to use the dryer properly.
  7. I would love to open a community center for women and children and teach everything like arts and crafts, cooking, conversation skills, child raising skills, … etc.  Everything a woman or child might need to know in life.

Since most people have already been tagged please tag yourself and scream “I am it I am it” and run around like a crazy person then sit down and do the tag.

The Magic Eight

Gjoe tagged me for the Eights meme so here are my eights.

A few interesting tidbits about eight:

  • Eight (; accounting ; pinyin ) is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word “prosper” or “wealth” (發(T) 发(S); Pinyin: ). China took advantage of this by beginning the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Beijing at 8 seconds and 8 minutes past 8 pm (local time) on August 8, 2008.
  • Eight ( hachi, ya?) is also considered a lucky number in Japanese culture, but the reason is different from that in Chinese culture. Eight gives an idea of growing prosperous, because the letter (八) broadens gradually.
  • The Japanese thought eight ( ya?) as a holy number in the ancient times. The reason is less well understood, but it is thought that it is related to the fact they used eight to express large numbers vaguely such as manyfold (やえはたえ Yae Hatae?) (literally, eightfold and twentyfold), many clouds (やくも Yakumo?) (literally, eight clouds), millions and millions of Gods (やおよろずのかみ Yaoyorozu no Kami?) (literally, eight millions of Gods), etc. It is also guessed that the ancient Japanese gave importance to pairs, so some researchers guess twice as four ( yo?), which is also guessed to be a holy number in those times because it indicates the world (north, south, east, and west) might be considered a very holy number.
  • In numerology, 8 is the number of building, and in some theories, also the number of destruction.
