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!
