CANCER - The Protector ( June 21 - July 22)
Moody, emotional. May be shy. Very loving and caring.
Pretty/handsome. Excellent partners for life. Protective. Inventive and imaginative. Cautious. Touchy-feely kind of person. Needs love from others. Easily hurt, but sympathetic.

(Bolded are points i find true, which is pretty much all, 'cept for one.)

Yes, i know i know. This kind of novelty ideas are always filled with generic statements which can be applied to many people across the horoscopes. These are the compliments people want to hear about themselves, even if they seem to be the modest kind.

I mean, would you prefer,

"You suck balls dude!"

Or

"You're a swell person to be with!"

Catch my drift?

But then again, everyone probably need small reminders like this so as to spice up their life a little, to somewhat make their lives less demeaning, to give them another reason to live for just one more day. Oh, what do i know anyway. I don't know much about life to lecture about it.

Friday's EM3B paper was.. well, let's just say it's over and move on. There's still the ETE paper this coming Thursday, and already i fell back to slackish mode. There's so much to this module that i still am unable to comprehend. I might subconsciously given up on trying to study altogether. Hopefully, i can squeeze into a study group with dailou and company.

After the paper, i went to the clubhouse to learn a little more keyboard playing variation from steve. Then i got him to whack a melody out with some chords that i had. Somehoe or the other, he changed a few chords here and there, and it became a melody for a different song altogether. Oh well, i guess i can use this new melody to compose a second song?

Songs to write, songs to write..

My favourite colour is actually orange, though i'm sure quite a number of people are under the impression that it was blue, pink or even purple.

Ah yes, once again, it's that time of the year.

When hopeless singles roam the streets, glancing with envy over at the boundless sight of pairs in every shop and corner.

When individuals are obligatorily at their other half's beck and call, satisfying their every need for the sake of the season.

When dateless entities feels heavier effects of depression then usual.

When i'm shut away from the rest of the world.

Fine. Let's get down with it and be all technical.

14th February. Day of Saint Valentine.

What's the deal with it?

For one, this particular day sees an increase in the amount of couples everywhere. Everyday items such as chocolates, plushies and flowers(particularly roses) recieves a price hike, along with a "Special Valentine's Day Only!" promotions appearing suddenly. The male species, especially, finds the need to purchase them for their other half even though they wouldn't normally do so on any other given day. Perhaps the moon for this particular day gives off a special aura which mutates our hormones to bring out out 'romantic-ness within'.

It's just wrong.

Don't misjudge me. I have nothing against Valentine's Day.

It's just that, why do people wait until this particular day before doing something special for their partner? What is it about this day that makes it so unique? Even though i myself do not understand the meaning of the 14th day on the 2nd month, but i'm pretty sure that it doesn't mean this is the only day you have to spend time with your boyfriends or girlfriends. Buying gifts and spending time is something natural, something every couple will do for the other. Everyday can be a Valentine's Day if you so choose.

Why wait till Valentine's Day before you get the courage to ask for a date? Or buying that big plushie that she goes crazy over? Or giving him a bottle filled with paper hearts that you folded personally yourself? Or even just for a wedding proposal?

It's just plain old silly i tell you.

As long as you can love and cherish your partner wholeheartedly, it doesn't matter if it's 7th April, 16th August or 29th November, everyday can feel like Valentine's Day.


Bah. I think i've written loads of rubbish here. Ignore if you want. I wouldn't blame you.



And tomorrow marks the 18th year in a row of solitution(if there was ever such a word.)
