The significance of my birth date: December 3rd!

I'm a December 3rd baby! My friend showed me this astrology article which I found pretty interesting. I'm not a fan of astrology, as I believe that our fate is determined by God, but it was a pretty interesting read.

The highlighted parts of the article that I either like or is relative to my personal life. Enjoy the read :)

December 3 Sagittarius folks have personality plus. Their charm, good looks, and sex appeal make them appealing. They enjoy living the good life yet always manage to keep in touch with spiritual values. They have an iron will and can stand up for themselves. Although known for a well-developed ego, this does not detract from their likability.

Friends and Lovers

December 3 natives have a ceaseless interest in people and are never without a supply of friends. They are adventurous lovers and thrive on the challenge of pursuing love, but they may lose interest once the chase is over. They have trouble making a commitment, since they are likely to equate it with giving up personal freedom.

Children and Family

Though they may have had modest beginnings, December 3 people often credit early hardships with their competitive spirit. They thrive on challenges. December 3 men and women feel it is important to teach their own children the value of competition, but they have the good sense to know where to draw the line.

Career and Finances

People born on this date may become accustomed to trading on their personality, but their real talent is their creativity. They attract good luck, especially in finance, and have the potential to make a lot of money. They are not good at holding on to what they earn, since their generous nature gives them the impulse to spend.

Health

Keeping fit is important to these men and women, who want to look great, feel great, and live to a ripe old age. Many find it difficult to keep weight off problem areas. They are party-goers, which often implies overindulgence in alcohol. Although this can be the case, it is usually confined to social occasions.

Dreams and Goals

Being able to make a living doing what they love is a priority in the lives of December 3 people. They work hard to achieve long-range goals, yet they may have problems with the short-term. They see the big picture rather than small details. It may be more challenging to find success on a personal level than in their professional lives.

The new beginning of an old journey...

As most of you (or at least my friends) have known, I have always had a passion for music and sound systems, and over the many many years since I was a young boy, I have managed to learn several different instruments. I began dj-ing and live sound long before picking up any other instruments and it has always been a bitter sweet memory for me about my dj-ing life almost 5 years ago, where I've met alot of good people who supported and pushed me to improve myself as well as some whom later revealed their not so nice side of them. Since my hiatus from the art of mixing, I have than pursued to further my knowledge in other instruments such as guitar, drums and the bass. 

After going a long circle, I've finally returned to the dance music scene. Much has changed since than, as the usage of vinyls are close to extinction and CDs have become optional when playing in a club. Now mixing has become much more convenient as mixers have tons of built in effects and CDJs (or DVJs) can now play videos! We can even integrate our computer software to our mixers and turntables which leads to the  unnecessariness of burning those hundreds of CDs and carrying those heavy CD bags to gigs.

Lots of things has changed, but it's only got me steaming for more! In my pursuit to further my musical knowledge, I will continue to press on to further improve myself both as a musician and a performer!

Guess you just cant put me in a box!

Being a somewhat "psychology" junkie! I do enjoy understanding people and the consequences of actions and reactions. Today I did another two personality tests from two different sites (SimilarMinds.com and Goddessflight), which both came out with different results on my personality! The first was bearable as the results showed me to be an ENTP (The Inventor), the other showed me a whole opposite of what I would have expected myself to be ISTP. These two are very different results and explanation from the initial ENFP which I was so proud of, ironically, when you read the explanation of these personality types, they do SOMEWHAT reflect on the type of person that you are. To conclude, I guess people's personality really does vary to the mood their in and the situations that their going through as well as the environment that surrounds them. People act differently in different situations, we can see this by the structure of the questions asked in these different personality quizzes. So don't limit yourself to just one personality type, just be proud of who you are and be yourself! 

For the fun of it, I'm gonna list down the details on ENTP and ISTP below! Enjoy!

ENTP - "Inventor". Enthusiastic interest in everything and always sensitive to possibilities. Non-conformist and innovative. 3.2% of the total population.

Inventors begin building gadgets and mechanisms as young children, and never really stop, though as adults they will turn their inventiveness to many kinds of organizations, social as well as mechanical. There aren't many Inventors, say about two percent of the population, but they have great impact on our everyday lives. With their innovative, entrepreneurial spirit, Inventors are always on the lookout for a better way, always eyeing new projects, new enterprises, new processes. Always aiming to "build a better mousetrap."

Inventors are keenly pragmatic, and often become expert at devising the most effective means to accomplish their ends. They are the most reluctant of all the types to do things in a particular manner just because that's the way they have been done. As a result, they often bring fresh, new approaches to their work and play. They are intensely curious and continuously probe for possibilities, especially when trying to solve complex problems. Inventors are filled with ideas, but value ideas only when they make possible actions and objects. Thus they see product design not as an end in itself, but as a means to an end, as a way of devising the prototype that works and that can be brought to market. Inventors are confident in their pragmatism, counting on their ability to find effective ways and means when they need them, rather than making a detailed blueprint in advance. A rough idea is all they need to feel ready to proceed into action.

Inventors often have a lively circle of friends and are interested in their ideas and activities. They are usually easy-going, seldom critical or carping. Inventors can be engaging conversationalists, able to express their own complicated ideas and to follow the ideas of others. When arguing issues, however, they may deliberately employ debate skills to the serious disadvantage of their opponents.

Inventors are usually non-conformists in the workplace, and can succeed in many areas as long as the job does not involve too much humdrum routine. They make good leaders on pilot projects that test their ingenuity. And they are skilled at engineering human relationships and human systems, quickly grasping the politics of institutions and always wanting to understand the people within the system rather than tell them what to do. No matter what their occupation, however, Inventors display an extraordinary talent for rising to the demands of even the most impossible situations. "It can't be done" is a challenge to an Inventor and elicits a reaction of "I can do it."

ISTP - Introvert/Sensing/Thinking/Perceiving

Naturally reserved and thriving on adventure and challenge, you much prefer action to conversation. You also have a penchant for observing what is going on around you. You enjoy activities that require hands on skills. Resourceful and independent, your motivations come from within you. You are a collector of information, rational, realistic and pragmatic. People often have a difficult time figuring you out, and you will remain a mystery to many. 

In relationships you are not one to have deep talks, but would rather let your actions speak for you. You display your love and care for others by doing practical things for them. You are not one to take on too many commitments or obligations--if any. You need your time alone and even though you are probably very loyal, this may cause conflict at times. You are not one to start fights, but you wont back away from one either. 

We DO kind of have a similar smile don't we!
