VIRGO-ISM

Got this from a friend yesterday.. the e-mail is entitled 'know yourself' :)

Know Yourself - Virgo

"As a rule, Virgo is attracted to someone who possess good conversation skills. They love to talk and surround themselves with friends who are even-tempered, nonchalant, and intellectually stimulating.

If you're planning a date with a Virgo, try and avoid noisy places especially with lewd or obscene entertainment. The Virgo's reserved nature and insistence of good taste, would get more pleasure from a quiet restaurant with soft music playing in the background, than from a rock and roll concert. They would prefer a place where the two of you can talk. You'll probably find the Virgo to be very interesting and be able to discuss almost anything with them.

However, don't be in a hurry to jump right in and ask too much about their personal affairs, since they may find it to be an intrusion of privacy. It's a rare occurrence for a Virgo to hand out praise, so if you're looking for constant flattery, you may want to keep looking.

While on the contrary, if you're looking for advice or an opinion on a certain matter, the Virgo will gladly participate.

Virgo's are careful planners and are constantly seeking personal achievement and financial security. They won't put up with frivolous spending habits and won't jump into a serious relationship without looking ahead first. Most likely they are seeking a partner with practical ambitions exactly like themselves.

Once the Virgo has found someone worthy to share their life with, they will always be loyal and provide plenty of happiness. This responsible, sensitive, and intellectual person takes love very seriously.

Although they may appear aloof, and distant at times, they are very sensual and warm people. If you win them over, you will be more than rewarded with a prosperous and memorable life with them."

now, i don't quite believe in horoscopes or astrology.. and neither do i believe that that everyone's characteristics are somehow dictated by the month in which he or she was born. for example, i have a few friends who are fellow virgoans like me but they are anything but "beauty with brains" (jahatnya aku nih... takper2 anonymous kan.. kira tak mengaibkan diorang). but for some reasons, i believe that i do possess the traits of a true virgoan. a friend of mine back in college once said that it depends on the day and the time of which you were born. kononnya, it depends la.. masa kita lahir tu all the stars were aligned in the a certain way ke.. bulan tgh mengambang ke.. tak tau la. irregardless of that, let's just say that for the most part, i think my personality and the general traits of a virgoan seem to match.

reading the a article above has further re-affirmed my belief. just look at all the startling similarities - i DO need someone with good conversational skills. and i'd LOVE to be with someone who is intellectually stimulating. and if you're planning to go on a date with me (although this seems like an illogical thing to do, let's just say hypothetically..) DO NOT bring me to a rock and roll concert.. because 1. i'm an r&b kind of person 2. i can't hear very well, which means that your voice can easily be inaudible to me when we're at the concert and 3. think about the trafic jam that we need to endure after the concert!

other things that i strongly agree with the article above:
1. it's not very frequent that i praise people in front of them (maybe because i'm so full of myself?). ntahla.. rasa macam segan kot.. karang kata kita nak mengorat dia pulak puji lebih2 nih.. but i would usually praise them to another person (behind them).. so kira ok la kan?
2. i AM careful planner - especially when it comes to my finances. this does not mean that i am a miser. you just plan ahead how much you want to donate or treat other people in a month. it's good financial planning
3. having established that i am a careful planner, i WON'T put up with frivolous spending habits
4. although i may appear aloof, and distant at times, i am very sensual (erkk!) and warm person - seriously, i am. it's just that i warm up to people a lit bittle bit slower than what is considered as normal speed

but frankly, i don't even know why i bother to get all excited about this article.. it's not like someone's going to ask me out on a date soon... judging by the speed of things are moving... don't know la... i'd be lucky if someone asks me out before i'm 30... eheh.

p.s: a certain someone has been driving me crazy this couple of days... had a chat with him on friday night on ym - it was great. we exchanged phone numbers, i sent him an sms the next day and he hasn't replied since.. kurang asam la dier nih... oi call me la woi.. (desperado to the max kan? sigh..)
