Two, O’s and Nine

Two. The first two movies I watched this year were ‘Sex and the City’ and ‘Mysterious Skin’. Coincidentally, both stories ‘happened’ in mid-late December; ‘Sex’ on New Year actually.

It’s the Year of the Ox!

And oh, it’s my sign and so I’ve made a checklist out of what gotohoroscope.com has to say about Ox people:

The Ox is the sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work…

2. Unswervingly patient, tireless in his work, and capable of enduring any amount of hardship without complaint: Fairly true
3. Needs peace and quiet to work through his/her ideas: Yup
4. and when he/she has set his/her mind on something it is hard for him/her to be convinced otherwise: Somewhat true esp. if it’s my reputation’s at stake .
5. has a very logical mind: Yep
6. and is extremely systematic in whatever he/she does, : Drop the ‘extremely’ and it could qualify for true
7. in spite of a total lack of imagination: Nope
8. These people speak little: No
9. but are intelligent,: Ahem!
10. and when necessary, they are both articulate and eloquent: Always ‘necessary’

12. The possibility of taking a serious risk could cause the ox person many sleepless nights: True

21. can be very naive about affairs of the heart: *nods*
22. It takes time for him/her to develop intimate relationships: true
23. and show his/her feelings,: always shown, hard to say
24. but once such person is committed, the partner will be totally loved and trusted: Yes!
25. Ox people are observant; they have remarkable memories and are good at reporting on absolutely everything they observe: Very true
26. approach work seriously and as long as they are not forced into the public eye they are able to think clearly and plan meticulously: yep
27. They maybe not too fast when it comes to making decisions: *singing* Let’s take it slow, so slow…
28. but they are a skilled organizers and logical thinkers: yes
29. It is suitable for the ox to know his/her schedule or timetable and although he/she can rise to challenges and, to some extent, deal with the unpredictable; the ox would rather be well-informed: Yes, please?
30. and work within a fixed framework: Uh-oh

That’s sooO me

Fashion Trends S/S ’09 takes on ‘almost androgynous’ with its cuts and colors. Since I won’t be able to pull off the baggy pieces, I might as well embrace the cuts and colors, few at a time. Truly, the palettes either soothe the busy person or uplift a dull disposition whichever is the case. Fashion isn’t for the modern man, style is. Adding ‘M’ to eccentric makes ‘me-ccentric’!
