Breaking Down a Sagittarian.

I never really believed in horoscopes, never even bothered to check them. I believed that the different attitudes and traits of people are based on their environment, company and breeding, but hey, where’s the fun in that? While on a recent out of town trip, me and a good friend of mine conversed and we ended up talking about dreams and the significance of zodiac signs. Dreams were a negative for me, I can barely remember that last time I dreamt about something, but talks about Zodiac Signs definitely caught my fancy.

First off me and my good friend are both Sagittarian’s. The things that he mentioned about Sagittarians are that they fancy bags/backpacks and they love them as gifts. I am not crazy about bags, but to tell you the truth, wherever I go, I carry a bag or a mail man’s bag for that matter for no particular reason. Most of the time the contents of the bag are just an extra-shirt, handkerchief and a book, sometimes I just bring a bag for the hell of it even if it’s empty. Crazy coincidence, who knows? People often ask me why I carry a bag, sometimes I have no other answer but a simple, "I just like to".

Next stop, he mentioned that Sagittarians are fond of trips and adventures. So it’s another plus on my department, although it was not always like that for me. I used to be a stay at home person, where I am satisfied with being a couch potato, listening to the radio, reading a book or just playing video games. I think my turning point was when I joined the environmental club back in the States. From then on out I adored nature and all the pleasure and scenery that it has to offer. I became addicted to the travel channel and likewise I always wanted to catch the travel bug with the sense of discovery and adventure in mind.

Lastly he mentioned the love interests. LOL. The topic had me laughing because apparently some signs don’t work too well in contrast with others. He told that I should date chicks with water signs for a better outcome on love, LOL. That’s the point where I decided to do some research on my sign.

Sagittarius – The Archer

Optimistic, Sense of Adventure, Straight Forward and Focused, Honest and Goal-Oriented.

Optimistic/ Optimism – Hmmmm, I am a bit of a skeptic actually, but thinking about it I tend to lean on the positive side of things. Even when failure is imminent, I tend to look past that and I always have a plan to fix it. Thus I am a believer that nothing is beyond repair.

Sense of Adventure – as explained above, I love to travel, meet new people, experience new cultures, their traditions, their food and I love to writing a review after. I am a drifter and a nomad at heart.

Straight Forward/Focused –this one I don’t agree with, but hey you can’t get them all right? I am not focused unless inspired, be it by friends, family or loved ones. I tend to procrastinate and I don’t study ahead of time, instead my secret weapon is cramming.

Honest - I am brutally honest, and I often speak my mind. I am very opinionated and although I don’t like to argue I like good long talks and interesting conversations.

Goal-Oriented – like its astronomical symbol which is “The Archer”, even though most of the time I am on lazy mode, I am goal-oriented. I finish things when it needs to be done even though it might be last minute. I am determined to finish my career and hopefully be successful in the working field someday and have a loving family. Who doesn’t? So in other words, it is only myself that can stop me from achieving those things, well that and the increasing tuition fee and the horrid battery exams lol.

The one bad thing about Sagittarians is that we do have short-TEMPERS. Which I admit is a crime that I am guilty of. I don’t lose my cool that easily, but when I am pissed at someone, I am secretly judging and planning a revenge plot for you. LOL. Kidding. But seriously, I do have a short temper, but I forgive easily so that’s a plus.

Lastly on the love department: (this was the part that mostly cheered me up) I am in no hurry to look and find but I am somehow glad that the signs are on my side for now:

For the month of June:

Love and Romance: A new moon, solar eclipse in your sign early in the month, on the 1st, signifies that this is a positive time for Sagittarius to meet someone who can be all that you have ever dreamt about. Eclipse energy is strong, intense and can touch you at the deepest recesses of your heart. You also have Venus the love goddess and passion planet mars in the mix, which makes this a time when Cupid can send an arrow right to your heart centre. Get ready to be moved on an emotional level.

All I can say is WOW!

Listen I don’t take these things too seriously, but I like the fun and the whimsicality that is involved in them, something to think about, something to smile about, something to write about and something to look forward too, that’s all there is too it.

What Always Happens; LIFE.

Just when you thought that you had it so good, within seconds the goodness is snatched as easily as taking candy from a baby and everything turns sour in an instant. Guess that’s life and living, at least that what it has always been for me. Summer school just ended, I did sub-par and I am just thankful that I passed all my classes. Have a week’s vacation to celebration for some quality rest and relaxation, ah I was in my happy place, tranquility without any disturbance, and thus little did I know that things would go down south in an instant.

Nothing beats waking up in the afternoon, but the news that I found out when I woke up as I did my regular facebook check has got me beat. A bunch of peeps that I cherish and adore are going sayonara and that for me was a big disappointment. I am very picky when it comes to friends, in that case real friends because as the saying goes real friends are a dime a dozen. Even though I hate the thought of these people leaving, not seeing them in the usual hang-out place and I admit I’m going to definitely miss the simple hello’s, goodbye’s and the ingats while just passing by the corridors or upon going home. I consider myself very lucky to have met and known them in my lifetime.

Why so sentimental? For the sole reason; “What always happens, Life”. It’s basic, nothing is stagnant, everything flows, everything moves on. Everyone has their own thing that they have to do, be it their careers and relationships. Things will go and new things will definitely come, but old memories will stay and hopefully once recalled will sneak a smile upon thy faces.

Enough with the sentiments, like a long list of movie lines “It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later”. No matter where our paths and future careers take us, I am thankful that you guys have been a part of my life and that I adore and cherish your friendship. As you know I am much older and I thought that I knew everything, but you guys proved me wrong and I have definitely learned a lot from you. I wish you all the best and hopefully our paths will cross again in the future.

Trust me, this piece of writing doesn’t do justice on how much I will miss you guys. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors and for sure, me and a bunch of your other friends will always be here for you when needed.

Kudos!
