Happy Lunar New Year to all who has been conscientiously keeping up with my blog...I apologize for the inconsistency in updating. The Year of the Dog has arrived! And I'm born in this Zodiac... Not only being a typical Cancerian in my horoscope...I'm also a typical Dog...from the most likable virtues to the most detestable vice...Here's an article on the Dog's personality from http://pages.infinit.net/garrick/chinese/dog.html..
Those in red font decribes me very well....be it good or bad..
Dog people are honest, faithful and sincere. They respect tradition and value honor, and enjoy helping people. The Dog is very righteous, and always is the first to speak out against injustice. He is not good at socializing with friends, and rarely shines in company, but he is intelligent, caring and a good listener.
Loyal, faithful and honest, he has the most profound sense of duty. You can count on him and he'll never let you down. And as a good listener, the Dog is also very reliable in keeping secrets for others. He simply doesn't like to gossip. * I do sometimes gossip ;P*
The Dog is an agreeable companion - when he is in a good mood.
But when panic strikes, he can turn nasty, and bark till he is tired. He can be judgmental, defensive and picky if you rub him the wrong way, but as long as you know how to pet and massage him, the Dog makes absolutely the best and most honorable companion on earth.
Dogs are born old and get younger as they age. They take everything very serious. You may hear the Dog complains a lot about street lamps, about traffic, or about weather, but as he gets older, the less he takes his own criticisms seriously.
When the fear becomes reality, Dogs go a little crazy. The Dog enters a relationship where he is the giver and the partner is the taker. He is usually very generous and loyal, and in love, he is honest and straightforward. But he will have romantic problems all his life - it's his own fault, really: he leads himself by his emotional in stability and his eternal anxiety. He is a worrier. * does it mean i'll be happier if i stay single?? no worries!*Dogs are prepared to sacrifice their own dreams, ambitions and desires for the sake of others, particularly for those they love. Fiercely loyal to those they love, Dogs are ever ready to jump to the defense of any member of their family or friends who is being attacked by either word or deed. They have a penchant for championing the underdog. Born with an innate sense of decency and a need for equalibrium in a chaotic world,
Dogs strongly denounce injustice and wrongdoing, generously giving useful and effective advice to those around them. Their warmth, empathy and genuine interest in others win them many close friendships. Dogs inspire confidence in others, and the confidence is justified. They will always do their utmost for others, and their dedication can go to the point of sacrifice. Dog people deserve to be held in the highest esteem.
Because they genuinely feel they know best, they can sometimes
appear bossy.
*some ppl say a appear like "da-jie-da" (big sis in mandarin)...some says i look domineering and unapproachable...*They accomplish goals quickly, their successes the result of hard work and intelligence. But the Dog never really relaxes. Despite appearing calm and at rest, his heart and mind are always jumping.
The Dog is an introvert who rarely shows his feelings; when he does it's only because he thinks it is absolutely necessary. He's stubborn in the extreme and knows what he wants. Frequently cynical,
he is feared for his sharp tongue and his acid and disagreeable remarks. He gives the impression of looking systematically for faults in everything he touches. * always seeking for perfection* This is because he is the world's biggest pessimis and expects nothing out of life. Dogs find it
difficult to adapt to change * I hate changes..*, perhaps because they have a reputation for being innately pessimistic and expect the worst to happen. They have a tendency to become wistful and
nostalgic about the past. Of all the animals in the Chinese Zodiac, Dogs are the least materialistic for they are unselfish individuals who care more about people than they do about money or success. It doesn't worry them to be without the material comforts. Even if they are in the money, their tastes are simple enough. But if by any chance they should suddenly and urgently need money, nobody is better equipped than them to get it!
It is said that a Dog born in daytime will be calmer and less anxious than one born during the night. It is at night that the dog's job is to guard the house -- and thus he will be eternally on the lookout, always on the alert,
barking all the time to scare away intruders and finding no time to rest. For people born at night under this sign, it's a dog's life!
* I'm born in the evening...that's why i do bark to scare ppl at times! *
