It’s 09/09/09. I wonder how many people around the world made special plans for this day. Numerology is an interesting system that many people believe in. People have longed studied the relationship of numbers and current events. Beliefs like 7 is lucky and 13 brings bad luck go all the way back. I’m wondering what made people decide that; why can’t be 13 be lucky instead? Ah, the mysteries of life.

If you haven’t noticed yet, this year we’ve seen a lot of cool date patterns. 12:34:56 07/08/09 is one example I could think of; though, depending on the date format you use, this could be read as 12:34:56 of July 8, 2009 or August 7, 2009. With September 9, 2009, you could only read it as one way – 09/09/09. I guess that what makes it special. We won’t encounter another 09/09/09 any time soon.

To remember this special day, I made a list of 9/9/9 things I want to do, want to buy, believe in.

9 Things I Want To Do

1. Tour Europe.
2. Tour Egypt.
3. Bungee jump. But I’ll probably do it when I’m ‘contented’ with my life.
4. Establish and manage my own business.
5. Learn how to drift.
6. See snow
7. Swim with dolphins. (Which I think will forever be a want because I’m not a good swimmer)
8. Live in a foreign country for a year. If it’ll be USA, New York will be nice or somewhere in California; if it’ll be a European country, somewhere in London or Greece will be perfect; if it’ll be Asia, Japan is my choice.
9. Own a pet. I would love to have a puppy.

9 Things I Want To Buy

1. New camera lens for Canon DSLR. Purpose: portrait or landscape pictures
2. Shoes. Never enough shoes.
3. Clothes.
4. Ticket to Europe. So I can tour Europe of course.
5. Ticket to Egypt. Yeah, so I can tour Egypt.
6. Land. I want to own a piece of land as an investment – financial or territorial-wise.
7. A car.
8. A nice set of photo albums.
9. Diamonds. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, aren’t they?

9 Things I Believe In

1. Karma
2. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
3. A Higher Being who is responsible for everything
4. That we are not alone
5. Love “martyrs” = Stupid. If someone is cheating/abusing/fooling you, staying with them because of “love” is stupidity.
6. Women abusers don’t deserve any chance at all
7. Respect
8. There is a fine line between respect and misplaced tolerance.
9. Dreams can come true… if you have the ambition and drive to make it a reality.
