12-12-12! What Is It To You?

I wanna do something significant today just to remember the unique date, I like this date, 12-12-12.
It’s the century’s last sequential date. For some, it represents luck. For others, it’s a day of romance. For most of us, it’s just another Wednesday. Regardless of your beliefs, 12/12/12 comes along with some rather amusing facts and superstitions.

The date, with a repeating number, is so magical in its rhyme this generation will never come across it again, in this life cycle. The world has had similar magical dates since 2001, when we opened the year with 1-1-1. The following year, we had 2-2-2 in February and the third year 3-3-3 in March 2003.

The year 2004 also produced 4-4-4 in April. While May of 2005 also gave 5-5-5.


In 2006, it was 6-6-6. And so the other years have churned out the special dates: 7-7-7, 8-8-8, 9-9-9, 10-10-10 and 11-11-11. And now 12-12-12.

It is the 12th day of the last month of 2012.

The date is not to be confused with 12-21-12, the rumoured date said to be the terminal end of our world, according to the Mayan ancient calendar.

So what does 12-12-12 mean other than being another date like its successor, 13-12-12 or its predecessor that reigned today 11-12-12? Well, we agree, in one respect that it means something: it is the last time for almost a century when the day, year and month will come in a synchrony.

In the United Arab Emirates, mothers have taken special significance of the day. The City Hospital in Abu Dhabi that normally delivers four babies by Cesarean section daily. Tomorrow, seven mothers want their babies born.

Self-acclaimed mystics have also been ascribing some symbolisms to this special date, if you believe in them. And thousands of marriages we learnt, have also been scheduled for this day. Girls surely like iconic days.

Do you believe in the uniqueness or any special attachment to these days with unique numbers? Or 12-12-12 is just another day on the calendar?
