I’m an Earth Snake, according to this.

I’m not typically a superstitious person, paranoid - yes, but not always superstitious. Since CNY came around, I’ve been fairly interested in Chinese astrology and it continues to surprise me how accurate these are. By ‘these’, I mean quizzes and just all that stuff where rationalists can easily deny their authenticity. If you really take the time to read certain things (the ones that actually do seem realistic, not teenybopper crap), it’s really fascinating.

I read the Wiki article on the Snake and it’s almost all true. Seriously. I’ve always wanted to be a diplomat or at least, an ambassador - it’s what I want to do; I want to change the world.

The parts that didn’t work out were how Snakes are meant to be on stage - I have horrible stage fright. And I’m not pretty, haha - which apparently Snakes are.

“The only sign that can possibly overcome the snake is the mythical sign of the Dragon with its superhuman benevolence and love.”

I found that hilarious. My boss and best friend is an Earth Dragon and it’s an inside joke amongst us and our co-workers that we’re a married couple. And he happens to be the only one that can ‘control’ me.

“The Dragon is most compatible with the Rat, Monkey, Snake and Rooster.”

Lul.  Oh boy. So what’s your sign? x)

Edit: HOORAY FOR HAPPY HEARTS! See everyone back in HKO in February!

And remember the woman who gave birth to the octuplets? Apparently, she has 6 other kids under the same roof too. So count ‘em - that’s 14 KIDS. >_> Holy poop.

 

Well, at least the .com extension did. I was partially curious to see what Google would put up in honor of Chinese New Year - you know, where they change the logo to something special for the occasion.

.co.uk:

… I don’t get it.

Edit: 8 hours later, I was on my iPod in class and I went to Google. The page on Safari showed a CNY-logo’d Google page, but not on my laptop’s Firefox. >.> And I already cleared my cache/cookies.

Anyway, a woman today in Bellflower’s Kaiser Permanente  delivered 8 babies with a team of 46 doctors. All babies were born 9 weeks premature (which is normal for multiple births) and there are 6 boys, 2 girls. Doing a c-section birth, the woman had been carrying a combined weight of 24 lbs (women usually carry only 1-3 lbs per child I think) for all 8. That’s crazyyy. Also happens to be only the second case of live-born octuplets delivered in the history of the US.

Or Tết, depending on which ethnicity you are. Granted, it technically isn’t until tomorrow (the 26th).

I celebrate the latter, but it’s basically the same thing. Went to my aunt’s Saturday and received a fair few lucky red envelopes. With the economy doing so poorly, I was surprised (and my parents, who were none-too-excited) that my aunt threw this party.

Anyway, new blog layout up with the lovely Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel and hearts galore - just in time for Valentine’s. I’m not too thrilled with either layouts, but meh, s’okay.

I recently finished reading The Lovely Bones (movie coming out on Dec. 11, 2009) and it was really good - my first book in ages, honestly because I’m a sorely picky person. I don’t have much to say on it, but it was very deep and meaningful. A young girl of 14 is murdered and the story goes on to tell about how her grief-stricken family falls apart as a result. Through her eyes, readers experience the girl’s own personal thoughts and observations (in her own heaven) as she watches her family and friends try to move on without her.

Anddddd… Someone needs to ban me from eBay. Seriously. ;x

It’s a new year and it’s oh-so-boring.

Work is horrible. HORRIBLE.

[/endofrant]

I hope OB comes soon - need a happy distraction from my woes.

♥ Merry Christmas! ♥

From my family to yours. (:

The end… Yet again!

A lovely adventure filled with lots of snow (No, seriously. 1250 to be exact.), bunches of Christmas cheer and many more memories.

Beware: Possible computer seizures. Read more »

Got the tree up this past weekend. (:

I would resize the pictures, but I don’t have Photoshop with me since it’s on my laptop and my laptop is in repairs still.

And some Hello Kitty things lying around!

Probably have more elsewhere, but that’s just what I had on-hand. I’m tired. Must study!

Oh, and look at my cute booties. x]

Otherwise known as Thanksgiving! (:

Congratulations to the more winners that have popped up since my last post: HKera, Bi, Twilight (GUILDIE!!), Azog, and Ripplecloud.

Four winning HKO Founders, whoo! And great job to the others and those who entered, everyone did fantastic.

Season’s Greetings, all! Can’t wait to get up at 5 AM for Black Friday. @.@
