Happy Chinese New Year!!!

[crystalxapple]

WOOT.  Has to be one of my favorite holidays, mostly because I get red envelopes.  Though, this year, all of my immediate family has joined all my other relatives in Taiwan for the holidays, so I will say goodbye to the rat year here at UCLA with my roommates.  :)  (Though they all went home anyway to go and celebrate with their families this past weekend.)  What I'm really looking forward to is for my family to come back as they are there to collect my red envelopes from my relatives.  HEEHEE.  I look forward to some money coming, mostly for school... Yeah.  Since I started working, I've been keeping a close tab on my own money.  All my money used for fangirling is coming out of my own pocket now and MAN is it expensive!!  I never noticed it, but hundreds of dollars flew out of pocket these past few months!  But just especially these couple of months due to NEWS album/KAT-TUN dvd/all the KAT-TUN singles that're coming out!!  :OOO  Oh, and my beautiful boots.  Haha.

ANYWAY, back to Chinese New Year, hooray! It is the year of the OX.  Which means, most Oxs will have a bad year.  My brother is an Ox, so my parents are especially worried about him.  He just graduated this past fall from UCSD and is currently looking for a job.  So far, things aren't exactly looking up for him....but that's not entirely blamed on fortune telling as much as it is based on the "current economic crisis", as they keep refering to it as. (LOL AT JOHNNY AND KAT-TUN 7 DAY CONS...I really want to go.)

So I was reading up on what I (a snake) can be looking forward to this year.  In an overview from this article:

• "Though you tend to be more of a loner"  HAHAHAHAHAH.  This is so true!!  I tend to not have as many friends as I have close friends.  Ahh, I am such a loner.  But supposedly, "this year will provide occasions that may bring you out of your shell".   Hrm, I wonder how that will unravel.  Yeah..we'll see about that.
• " Single Snakes may find the romantic relationship they seek, as romance is favored."  OH YEAH?????  Finally, my single life will be over??  Hahahaha.  A part of me wants to get a boyfriend, but then a part of me just thinks that it's too much of a hassle, and right now, school is more important.  He will come when it is time.  But maybe this year, I will change my views on this whole "relationship world" and catch a good fish.  LOL.  That's probably what my mom would refer to him as.
• "This year proves to be one of action, the year that all of your planning and waiting pay off for you."  One of action, that's for sure.  I'm planning many things this year so that I can study abroad next spring.  I really hope all the planning that I'm doing ahead of time will actually result in one of my dreams coming true.
• " The later months prove to be especially successful, tying a year of arduous work into an extremely blissful culmination." Of...studying abroad?  :)
• "If you maintain your frugal manner, you will find that you have accumulated enough by the end of the year to make a large purchase that you have been planning for a long time." Frugal manner...meaning, purchasing less?  I was thinking of not buying a calendar this year...since I don't really use them as they are not very useful...as least the NEWS one this year.  And...LARGE PURCHASE.  HECK YES.  Studying abroad is VERY EXPENSIVE.  That's why I need to work so much to be able to make the difference between UCLA and Japan!

Okay, maybe I'm reading too far into this.  Haha.  In any case, look your guy's up too for fun!!  Go here

And remember, you don't have to take these readings too seriously.  :)  Happy New Year!!!
