Can you write down eight eights so that they add up to one thousand?

One day, I thought of ways that can be used for creating a palindrome. So I decided that I will turn into a larger number by adding the reversed digits to the original number and keep doing it till I finally obtained a palindrome.

I am not sure if this process will always result in a palindrome eventually but I was able to produce a four-digit palindrome. Can you guess my starting number?

Find the next number in the sequence

1, 2, 6, 21, 88, __?

Using eight eights and addition only, can you make 1000?
