13 THINGS I ASSOCIATE WITH #13
1. I was the only girl in my family until I was 13 years old. I am the eldest, then came 4 brothers and finally, the darling of the family, my sister was born after I turned 13 and on the way of becoming a tomboy.
2. The letters in my first name, middle name and maiden name adds up to 13! (and I just found it NOW that I am doing this list)
3. There are 13 regions in my birth country.
4. There were 13 of us from my region who took the exams for scholarship in Japan which I eventually passed, more than 10 years ago.
5. I passed my driver’s license exam on the 13th of December 2001. Inside me, I was praying I’d fail and get another exam on the next day but of the 100+ examinees, only 27 passed so I consider myself lucky. (Japanese driver’s license exam passing score is 95%)
6. When I took the exams that winter morning, there were 13 female examinees and a handful of men.
7. My husband and I became an official item on the 13th of July.
8. No, he wasn’t my 13th boyfriend and he didn’t have 13 girlfriends before me either. 
9. I discovered I was pregnant on the 13th of April 2003.
10. The kindest boss I ever had was 13 years my senior. His car plate number is unique, especially in Japan: 13.
11. My family came to Dubai on 13th of January 2007. Our flight from Japan was on the evening of the 12th and we arrived the morning after.
12. There’s a bus #13 near where I live.
13. Last but not the least, Thursday THIRTEEN is my favorite meme of all time and I am getting hooked week after week.

Both of my kids’ birthdays are on the 13th of the month!
Very creative … Wow I feel superstitious about ‘13′ – I lived at no 13 … only for 3 yrs my mother still lives there.
I didn’t want no.13 in our business !
My Motherinlaw birthday is 13th Aug
SIL 13th Sept
her son … 14th July -just missed!
What a clever idea for a TT!
What a cute idea. Very good with your dates there!
I think 13 is a lucky number & is not the perceived unlucky one. I see you agree. My son was born on the 13th of April, 2005.
WOW! That’s a lot to associate with #13. I could have written your #13. I LOVE TT!!!
Wow! That is really interesting in a creepy way.
Wow, that must have been a hard THursday 13 to do! GOOD ONE though! Lots of 13!
I don’t think I have anything 13 in my life. Except maybe things I’d want to avoid like 13 snakes or 13 brushes with death.
Wow ! what a homework, lol ! To find out all this ! Fortunately you don’t seem to be superstitious ! Don’t you live in a street n° 13 ?
Lots of 13’s in your life
My parents were married on Friday the 13th ~ 64 years ago!
Gosh, I haven’t known someone in Dubai since I was a kid. It’s supposed to be a wonderful place – so good for you.
I love this list! So original and practical!
13 was EVERYWHERE when I was dating my exhusband. It was really freaky! Seriously, everywhere we went 13 was there staring us in the face!
We thought it was our ‘lucky number’ awwww….
now I just see it as a HUGE warning sign!!!!
Great TT… it looks like it took some thinkin!
Yep, I’m hooked on TT, too. Addictive little game, isn’t it? And such neat people who play. Like you — all these thirteens, and so few of them are bad. Maybe those old rumors of 13 being unlucky need to meet you and die a peaceful death.
Or maybe the rumors should continue so we have something to talk about, and the actual badness associated with 13 should just stop.
Don’t mind me… babbling out loud… *wink*
Happy TT! Glad you stopped by!
You left Japan on my birthday!
Isn’t it amazing how one number can be ever present in your life? My number happens to be 27. My birthdate adds to 27, it’s in my house number and it has shown itself in many significant relationships. I’m not certain why, other than maybe I’m just aware of it and watch for it to appear.
Thank you for the link today, I really appreciate it. The banner you selected looks amazing with the background color of your page!
Interesting memories! Thanks for sharing! Happy TT!
That’s your number all right! Kind of wild the way it works out for you!
I guess 13 is a lucky number for you!
I have 13 letters in my first, middle and maiden names as well. My son was born the 13th, Friday no less! *smiles* Great list! Mine is finally up..please stop and enjoy! Have a great weekend!
What a clever list! I can’t think of any 13’s…
What a creative TT! BTW, I hope you get a new keyboard soon, that’s just nasty!! And enjoy your long weekend!
Are you serious??!! You are a nut to remember all those dates! Wow. Seriously, you have an amazing memory.
Thanks for visiting my Yeats TT last week. I’ve been away for the weekend, so I’m very late to return the favour!
