What kind of person you are?

"I am who I am is because of you. You shape me up and let me pursue my dream." (I mean the environment and society we live in have a great deal of influence on our characteristics.)
Adam Smik

"What kind of man I am does not depend on what lies underneath, It is what I do that defines me."
Bruce Wayne/Bat-man

Aries, born March 21~April 19

Mythology:
The sign Aries is symbolized by the Ram, element is Fire, ruled by planet Mars. You are quick, daring, self-assertive, and full of spunk. Seldom defeated because defeat is not recognized. You are intelligent, energetic, active, impatient, and have a lot of initiative. You are also proud, ambitious, useful, have a strong desire to achieve through force, and have leadership qualities.

Possible negative aspects:
You can be hasty, inconsiderate, brash, destructive, and domineering. You will say things without thinking, can be arrogant, presumptuous, and your own interests will come first.

Sexuality:
Your sexuality is hot and intense. Like a blowtorch, you heat up rapidly and like a firecracker, you explode in a blaze of fire and sparks. You love the unorthodox and the unusual in sexual encounters and you are not afraid to go after what you want. Ruled by Mars, the god of warriors, you are straightforward and uncomplicated in the pursuit of your desires.

Taurus, born April 20~May 20
Mythology:
The sign Taurus is symbolized by the Bull, element is Earth, ruled by planet Venus. You are practical, peace loving, stubborn, slow, and deliberate. You have a natural interest in money, and likes the finer things in life. You will walk away from an argument. You are tenacious, artistic, musical, and has a "feeling" for things. You are also emotional, determined, stable, and persistent. You love beauty and harmony, and like to prove your worth.

Possible negative aspects:
You can be lazy, angry, stubborn, selfish, and unreasonable. You have love of sensuous pleasure, and are fond of good doing.

Sexuality:
Your sexuality is strong and deep, though not necessarily electric on the surface. Sensual, but conservative, you prefer a cosy courtship, replete with good food and wine in copious quantities. Ruled by Venus, the goddess of beauty and desire, you are strikingly attractive, in a somewhat statuesque way. Your sensuality and readiness to please make you a desirable partner for one who seeks a solid, secure and long-lasting relationship.

Gemini, born May 21~June 20
Mythology:
The sign Gemini is symbolized by the Twins, element is Air, ruled by planet Mercury. You want to know everything but never dig quite deep enough, usually just skimming the surface. You are a jack of all trades, are highly adaptable and likes change and variety. You are restless, and very clever with the uses of your hands, versatile, fickle, intelligent, creative, quick, neat and curious. You learn quickly and have the ability to get a good education.

Possible negative aspects:
You can be selfish, nervous, inconsistent, deceptive, changeable, and confused. You have a a weak will-power, and you tend to scatter your forces.

Sexuality:
Your sexuality is, well, shall we say, fickle? Let's face it, you do blow hot and cold (sometimes even at the same time, a feat not easily appreciable by the non-Geminis...). You love adventure and intrigue and will take all manner of risks in the runaround involved with your urgent desire to avoid boredom. Ruled by Mercury, the god (among other things) of tricksters and thieves, you are far from straightforward and uncomplicated in the pursuit of your desires.

Cancer, born June 21~July 22
Mythology:
The sign Cancer is symbolized by the Crab, element is Water, ruled by the Moon. You are emotional, intuitive, sympathetic and moody. You are sentimental, sensitive, and need to have a sense of security. You may be interested in politics even if it is only on the local level. You tend to over protect what is yours. You are also intensely romantic and has a vivid imagination. Your home and family are very important to you.

Possible negative aspects:
You can be cruel, grasping, weak, possessive, domineering, timid, lazy and tend toward brooding and cynicism.

Sexuality:
Your vein of sexuality runs deep, but follows a path strewn with obstacles (often of your own making). You are profoundly emotional and deeply sensitive, so you build a hard shell around your heart to protect it from the slings and arrows of fortune, especially those flung by those less sensitive who do not understand how wounding their ostensibly trivial actions can be. Ruled by the Moon, you tend to flow with the tides and are very reflective of your environment.

Leo, born July 23~August 22
Mythology:
The sign Leo is symbolized by the Lion, element is Fire, ruled by the Sun. You are highly dramatic and like to be center-stage. You are poised and confident, loyal, sincere, and make a good organizer. You are proud and dignified, enthusiastic, and ambitious. You also like luxury and pleasure and are willing to pay the price for it. You are also colorful, self-assured, out-going, impulsive, expensive, authoritative and affectionate. You expect praise and you give praise.

Possible negative aspects:
You can be jealous, arrogant, vain, self-centered, and a s show-off demanding attention. You are flashy, domineering, and snobbish, and have feelings of superiority over others.

Sexuality:
Your sexuality is powerful. The solar fire of the Sun rules your nature, so your whole personality is dynamic and attractive to others. There is no shortage of those who long to bask in your solar warmth! You do prefer to be the centre of attention in any situation and the bedroom mazurka is no different. You are open to any manner of sexual interaction that clearly demonstrates your own desirability and rightful place at the centre of things.

Virgo, born August 23~September 22
Mythology:
The sign is symbolized by the Virgin, element is Earth, ruled by planet Mercury. You enjoy helping others and being of service. You are shy, and prefer working behind the scenes. You are highly discriminating and a bit puritanical. You are intellectual, critical, fussy, shrewed, logical, methodical, practical, and have teaching ability. You also can lack confidence and need constant reassurance.

Possible negative aspects:
You can be highly critical, cynical, sarcastic, unforgiving, nervous, self-centered, and ridden by fear. You may have a tendency to be unfaithful as well.

Sexuality:
Your sexuality is delicate and fastidious. The way to your heart is through your head. While you can intellectually assent to any number of unusual or unorthodox views and positions on any number of subjects, in practice you are pretty conservative and hard-headed when it comes to relationships, particularly when sex is involved. You can easily become cynical.

Libra, born September 23~October 23

Possible negative aspects:
You can be gossipy, critical, and bitter. You like to pry into other people affairs, and can be very moody at times.

Sexuality:
Your sexuality is responsive, yet very much subject to the nature of the environment. A natural partner, your need to relate makes you eager to please, but can see you often looking for someone more satisfactory somewhere else. Ruled by Venus, the goddess of beauty and of lovers, you have impeccable taste and are widely considered attractive, yet you can be coquettish and even devious in the pursuit of your desires. You can be somewhat narcissistic at times and respond readily to praise and flattery.

Scorpio, born October 24~November 22
Mythology:
The sign Scorpio is symbolized by the Scorpion, element is Water, ruled by planet Pluto. You are very intense, strong willed, determined and secretive. Nothing escapes your attention. You can let attentions build to the exploding point. Investigation and research play a big part in your life. You are a deep thinker with a fine mind. You love a good fight, and then wonder why the other person is angry. You are forceful and courageous, and are usually interested in anything that has to do with the occult.

Possible negative aspects:
You can be willful, vindictive, jealous, sullen, bitter and sarcastic. You can have temper and may misuse sex.

Sexuality:
Your sexuality is deep, all-consuming and intense. You seek transformation through the sexual experience, which you never undertake lightly. Ruled by Mars, the god of primitive action and Pluto the lord of the underworld, you mix primal passion with a profound need to uncover the mysteries of life and death, including and especially sexual ones. Your emotions run deep and your faculty of intuition is remarkably accurate, so your antennae can prick up and pick out a prospective partner at first sight.

The sign Sagittarius is symbolized by the Archer, element is Fire, ruled by planet Jupiter. You have a lot energy and are very optimistic.

You are also constructive, clear-sighted, generous, cheerful, loyal and independent.

Possible negative aspects:
You can be rebellious, hasty, hypo-critical, too outspoken, lustful and intolerant, and can lack concentration.

Sexuality:
Your sexuality is lively, lusty and adventurous. You love to break new ground, in sexual encounters as in everything else and you are quite willing to go for what you want. Ruled by Jupiter, the grand leader of the gods, you are expansive and all-encompassing in your tastes and interests.

Mythology:
The sign Capricorn is symbolized by the Sea Goat, element is Earth, ruled by planet Saturn. You are honest, thorough, practical, ambitious, business-like and careful. You can be cold and aloof.

Possible negative aspects:
You can be unfeeling, gloomy, pessimistic, miserly, unyielding, self-centered, and revengeful.

Sexuality:
Your sexuality is powerful and always thrumming just below the surface. Unfortunately, in your youth you tend to allow others to take the initiative, though this changes as you get older and become more self-confident. Your insecurities can hold you back, though you have inner strength and a load of ambition. Ruled by Saturn, the god of karma and restraint, you may be frustrated in the pursuit of your desires, yet have the ability to keep pushing out the envelope until you finally achieve your goal.

Aquarius, born January 20~February 19
Mythology:
The sign Aquarius is symbolized by the Water Carrier, element is Air, ruled by planet Uranus. You like time saving devices and enjoy reading. You are modern, progressive, diplomatic, and humanitarian. Independence and a feeling of freedom is necessary. You have a strong will, and is original, inventive, and will always enjoy doing the unexpected. You are creative, scientific, quick, unconventional, friendly and enjoy groups of people or belonging to club as well. You are intellectual, faithful, and intuitive, with an ability to "see through people". You may lead a bohemian or hippie lifestyle.

Possible negative aspects:
You can be self-centered, nervous and high strung, erratic, opinionated, impractical.

Sexuality:
Your sexuality is steady, yet unorthodox. You are experimental and love the unorthodox and the unusual in sexual encounters, which you often undergo, for you are not afraid to follow your desires. Ruled by Uranus, the unconventional god of the sky, you always aim high and wild, although your co-ruler, Saturn, the god of karma and restriction, usually keeps your feet firmly on the ground.

Pisces, born February 20~March 20
Mythology:
The sign Pisces is symbolized by the Fish, element is Water, ruled by planet Neptune. You are emotional, ultra-sensitive, easy going, self sacrificing, sympathetic, understanding, and sociable. You are an excellent host or hostess. You may find it hard to make decisions because you see all sides to the question. Worry plagues you. You are merciful, obliging, charitable, artistic, with a good sense of colour. You will see only the good in others.

Possible negative aspects:
You can be lazy, self-centered, pulled in two directions, a procrastinator, and a day dreamer. You have "weird" experiences, and is often confused, may be.

Sexuality:
Your sexuality is fantasy-driven and dynamite when stoked by the right mixture of wish-fulfilment, appropriate environment and emotional stimulation (not to mention drugs and alcohol!). You tend to idealise your partner, often mistaking your responses to archetypal pattern-fixations for the genuine article. This is astro-babble for the fact that you allow your imaginative emotions to cloud your judgement when it comes to sexual attraction. You are deeply intuitive and sympathetic, but can be easily deceived by those who fit your fantasy patterns.

"Love is Sacrifice"

"If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don`t they never were."
Kahlil GIBRAN

There are many quotations on love given by many philosophers, scholars, and people with different ways of stating their perspective. I think all of those quotations are logical, rational and worthwhile considering. Among those, I would like to pick up/raise one quotation on love of Kahlil GIBRAN`s to introduce and explain why I decided to single out that quotation.

From the quotation, there are many possible ways of interpretation, it depends on many variables, what you base on and focus about. According to Kahlil, I think what we can learn from him is that "Love is sacrifice".

I mean, if you love a girl (she loved you too) but unfortunately a third person just showed up from out of nowhere and they fell with each other. And she wants to go to him, leaves you all alone. What would you do then? Indeed, if you love somebody you do not want to let her go away from you, but because of the power of love, you will respect her decision and give her freedom to choose who she really loves (my assumption).

For me, if I can make sure that that is what she wants and she will lead a happy life, it is okay because that is everything I want. Even how much it hurts to let her go, I just want her to know that "If you are happy that is enough for me. And I just want you to know that, I will be here for you and when you want to come back, you are welcomed. I love you and will always do." (I tried to feel Kahlil`s feeling when this idea came up to his mind)

Nobody wants to say "Goodbye" to the only one person they love, and no one wants it to happen either. You know what just try to think of Kahlil`s feeling from his quotation, I can feel it in my bone, I can feel how hard it is to face that kind of a situation. Hoping that it neither happens to me and nor to you.

By the way, after considering and interpreting about that concept of love, I can imagine that it is so hard for everybody to say "Goodbye". To me, if a couple/boyfriend and girlfriend, they are in love, I will let them be. I do not want to be the second guy, because of me someone could get hurt, so you know what I mean, I guess.

Moreover, if she is not available (SBU: single but unavailable), I will try to avoid falling in love with her. Sometimes, I believe we can control our minds, because we love the one we know so we must be able to know that we will fall in love with her if.....(based on how you feel about her comparing to other girls and love is the fruit/result of friendship/good relationship, some cases).

So if she has somebody, let her be and when you hear the bell warning that it is a "dangerous zone" (you are falling right now), get your ears checked and take action asap. Staying a little bit farther from her is one suggestion and it could help sometimes.

Last but not least, "Love is Sacrifice", we can say that based on Kahlil GIBRAN`s quotation. His idea is impressive - and very interesting. Saying goodbye is always painful for everybody. If you are sentimental, saying goodbye is heart-wrenching.

May a successful true-love be with you !!!

Bowling Freak !!

"Going bowling is not just to go to play a game, the truth is.......to go to be with you and spend the night.....together."
Adams

Bowling is an indoor game in which you roll a large heavy ball along a wooden track in order to knock down a group of pins (10 pins). The maximum score is 300 (perfect play, getting strike every time you throw a ball). For me I like doing sports in my free time, and right now, I like "Bowling" the most. I think I am a bowling freak, I really love to go bowling. Some friends said: "Adams, you go bowling so often, why it is so attractive like that?"

I acknowledge that it is true. You know what, if somebody asked me to go bowling, I would never say no if I was not so busy. I think maybe I can go bowling every weeks. Sometimes, when there is nobody initiates or organizes a bowling gathering, I am the one to do it.

The main reasons are, indeed I want to get a higher average, the average of 170 (my best average), and set a new record of 204. But it is not just like that, the more important one is to go to be with friends, nothing is happier than being with friends and have fun if we have free time. We can get to know more and more about each other, strengthen and maintain our relationship, and refresh our feelings during or after a stressful situation/a hard day of work. Meanwhile, there are many other incentives for us to go bowling.

I am not a professional, but I want to play like a professional, or even.......better.

Let`s go bowling together !!!

Adams

"Bowling is an excellent way to gather with a group of friends and have fun. Relaxing, talking, kidding and teasing among a large group of friends is one of the best past times in the world!"
