It's Friday the 13th!

Though some of us know that Friday the 13th is a very unlucky day for business many still doesn't know why they fear this day and how 13 was associated with misfortune. Seeing that I came from the Phillipines, not most of us are familiar with this thing at all. I'll share a little bit of what I found out.

Well, the number 12 is a sample of a perfect number. Why? Beacause it considered the number of completeness which is reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve recognized signs of the zodiac, the twelve Apostles of Jesus and many more while thirteen on the otherhand was considered irregular, contravening the idea of twelve's completeness. Not all bad luck is happening in this day because some get very lucky indeed like me, not all people celebrate their birthday in a Friday the 13th.

My number one reason is seeing that my birthday this week falls on Friday, I can further celebrate this memorable day plus wake up late for we don't have classes. I can do anything I want without getting scolded at all. One thing different is I got gifts this day unlike my normal birthday with nothing at all. Though I also tried to give some a treat because it's my birthday, they just decline my offer. Well I can't blame them because it realy is embarassing to be treated by somebody.

The only thing that makes birthdays, let's say "bad", is that everytime one celebrates his birthday, he becomes older and if you have your cake more candles to blow. Very nice. Still what the heck does a few additions to your age do to you but just additions of wrinkles to oldies and some facial changes to teens. Still I hope for more birthdays to come not only to me or to you but to everybody out there. Well till my next post. I hope this didn't bore you a lot.
