as an ox
I feel a bit deranged actually. Just a little bit. Or maybe a little bit more than just a little bit. I just felt shattered deep down under. I just could not believe it, I'm an ox! An OX! And I just knew it now. Like, right now! Okay, I'm overreacting. This is nothing serious. I'm still human. Yeah, I still am. I'm talking about the year I was born based on the Chinese calendar. No, I'm not Chinese but I believe in these stuff. It's like an addition to my own self-knowledge. And I love the traditions and all. And I kinda liked to belong into certain groups.
All along I thought I was born at the year of the Tiger. And I so loved it. Because it's tiger! No offense to oxen. I just love cats eversince the beginning of time :) And I just love how Tigers are described : sensitive, emotional and adventurous. Confident, risk takers and dislike taking orders. Good at seeing problems, but less able to see the solutions. Often seek a shoulder to cry on when feeling down. Warm and generous to the people they love. I really really was deeply convinced that was so me. But well, yeah... Chinese new year starts in February something... It is based in lunar calendar. And I was born on January. Apparently, it is 1986 (in solar calendar, the one we have at home) which made me thought I was born in the of the tiger. *sigh*
It is no big deal actually. I just realized that last year was my lucky year and I didn't even know it. Pathetic. Can anyone give me some ice cream? Because I'm kind of upset. I should've known earlier. Why was I so dumb? *sigh*
So... I'm handling the truth right now. I still love tigers. But I'm an ox. After 12 years, it will be my year again. :) And I'm gonna make sure I'll be aware of it. And as an ox, I believe I should start acting like an ox. hahaha I kind of loved the way Oxen are described though. Born leaders who will work hard to achieve their aims. Dependable, good organisers and not easily influenced by others. Patient, loyal to their friends and expect loyalty in return. Tend to have lasting relationships. Ain't that wonderful? And check this out, I just got these from the web. I just might well like to share. And don't get me wrong, I was not upset because I'm an ox. I was upset because it took me 24 years to discover it. And now that I do, I'm happy about it. Especially when I read facts like these :) :
