888

What in the world am I doing at past two in the morning when people are asleep?

What in the world one must do when life is short and there's a lot to enjoy - books, the Internet, stories of people (the ordinary and not-so-ordinary), the silence of the night, the noise of the city, stringing up words that nobody read.

The Olympics will start later today. I will be there, albeit virtually.

Some people have been waiting for this day - 888 (August 8, 2008) - when luck is supposed to hit those who believe.

I will most likely sleep the whole morning, grant an interview for, all of publications, a real estate magazine, spend the evening monitoring the news from Beijing, and hoping to have that Acer Aspire One from Singapore by next week.
