Tough Guys

When I was in high school, I was the 2nd Batallion Commander. I just loved everything about it. From the trainings, hazings (mild though), lectures, marching exercises, and most of all the gears!. If you want to look respectful, you need to dress up carefully from head to toe. No wonder I almost joined the ROTC in my college days, but my father didn't just allow it. He insisted that I should give more attention to my studies.

So I contented myself with watching war movies and attending batallion or regimental exercises. I always admire the air of authority every men in uniform possesses. And I kept on thinking how do they manage to look that great despite of the fact that they're busy with trainings and exercises. Then I came to know about several shops which are designing uniforms and army boots that could withstand tough times. One of them is WorkBootsUSA, they are selling tactical boots that could resist even the toughest training whatever the climate maybe. I know that being in the army is quite a tough job, so you need tough gears to survive.

Well if you do need tough boots at friendly prices, you gotta come visit this site. It will be worth your time and money.

TGIF!

Gemini (May 20 - Jun 20)
On the one hand, past efforts are bearing fruit and you're on the receiving end of exciting opportunities. On the other, you'll be contending with unexpected twists and demands that seem harsh, if not unfair. Deal with both as they arise, they'll prove amazingly informative.

Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 18)
Usually your knack for thinking fast and being decisive is one of your greatest strengths. Now, however, if you act in haste or commit before asking enough questions, you'll cause yourself problems. Explore your options and address any dramatic changes later.

Taurus (Apr 19 - May 19)
Ordinarily adopting a cautious approach to offers that seem too good to be true would be wise. But these are as worthwhile as they seem and with the current swift pace, if you don't at least indicate you're interested now, what's arisen could vanish as fast as it appeared.

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 21)
Whether it's changes in the lives of those closest influencing your life or exciting new alliances, even chaotic developments are actually breakthroughs. Knowing that, focus on what you'd like to gain from new arrangements, then explore the options with others.

Leo (Jul 22 - Aug 21)
Balancing time spent with loved ones and on pursuits you adore with obligations is always challenging. But now you're also exploring new options. Try them out; they could turn out to be a dream come true, although not necessarily in the form you expected.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 21)
Obviously you'd rather know exactly what you're getting involved in. But things are moving too fast and circumstances are changing too often for such details to be meaningful or lasting. When it comes to decision-making, trust your instincts for the most reliable insights.

Libra (Sep 22 - Oct 22)
When developments are as stunning as those currently streaming through your life there's no point debating them. If changes need to be made – as is likely with so much around you in transition – just deal with issues as they arise.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 20)
The fact that you're such a creature of habit is no surprise, since of the heavenly bodies, your ruler Pluto changes signs least frequently. Consequently, you'll need time to adjust to the changes triggered by its move into the sensual, practical Capricorn on the 27th.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 - Dec 20)
The recent new moon highlighted issues about what works in your life and your unrealised dreams. This is perfect timing; with Pluto's departure from your sign eliminating obstacles you've struggled with, the world is suddenly a much friendlier place.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19)
The influence of Pluto's recent arrival in your sign is like a new season, which brings gradual, sometimes indefinable but profound changes. Understand that and instead of wasting time analysing unfamiliar situations take things as they come.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
By now you've undoubtedly realised that with elements of the world around you and the lives of others changing, you need to make changes as well. While some are rather exciting, others seem the source of pointless disruption. Just give everything a try.

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 19)
If you notice a new trend in your life, that's no surprise. Existing burdens are vanishing enabling you to focus on the best way to take advantage of your options. Others may be in a hurry to make decisions but you owe it to yourself to explore everything.

As a driver, I've witnessed devastating car crashes before. I even had a car crash accident which I never wanted to remember anymore. It was just horrible, not to mention financially exhausting.

Moving on...

Don't be alarmed by my title, I didn't break up with my bf or anything, just to give a little drama to what's happening with my life right now LOL. Anyway, I really am moving on to another accommodation, Al Mabrooka Building to be exact. It's still in the same area where I live (Al Qusais). And from what I know about it, it's a nice building (though old). It has larger rooms and wide living room.

Truthfully I'm sad, because I'm already well-adjusted in my home after residing here for almost 9 months (Miramar Building) and my flatmates are nice and friendly (I'll surely miss them!). But anyway, life is constantly changing. You have to be flexible to survive, and that's what I mean to do.

I'll be posting new photos of my new home. I'm supposed to transfer either today or tomorrow, so I'll just keep you posted my friends! Wish me luck...

Bust Annoying Callers

I have been getting lots of unregistered phone calls lately. Most of them wrong number who called me up in the middle of my deep sleep all the way from India! It's really irritating especially if the caller doesn't know the meaning of telephone etiquette! And believe me, most of them doesn't.

So if you ever been pestered by anonymous phone calls, I suggest you Report Annoying Callers. Aside from that, there's a great new site where you can look up phone numbers and trace who they are. You can also read lots of commentaries from people who experienced the same annoying situations as you. It's very helpful and informative, and to top it all...it is for free!

Wedding Belle's

Last week we gathered @ Marissa's house to celebrate the engagement party of our close friends Carlo & Belle. It was such a lovely and fun-filled night! Though as the night progressed, we got drunk and the rest was history. But all in all, we had a wonderful time. Congratulations Carlo & Belle, may you have a life filled with love & happiness you truly deserve.

Still fresh & oriented to people, date, time, and place LOL.

Only 1% of my GABBA inhibitors were left.

Are we next? (sigh...smile)

Gemini (May 20 - Jun 20)
Everybody is complaining about worrying changes. Yet with your canny ability to spot trends, you're already noticing the influence of the far more agreeable planetary activity that begins this week. The trick, therefore, is to focus on worthwhile ideas and offers.

***There's really no point in pondering unworthy ideas. Since I got here I've been looking at the positive side of my current situation, and honestly it helped me get through some major bumps in my life. To obtain success is to be optimistic and proactive. Dare to be different and true!

Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 18)
Just when it seemed familiar elements of your life were falling apart, unexpected developments saved the day. Welcome as these are, don't assume things will go back to the way they were. Frank discussions highlight changes that need to be made.

Taurus (Apr 19 - May 19)
Obviously when shake-ups disrupt your life restoring order becomes a priority. First, however, you should question and access whether those arrangements are still appropriate for the person you've become and your future direction.

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 21)
Frank conversations and emotional dramas with those you care about don't seem appealing. But each demolishes either a past misunderstanding or issues that are currently obstructing you. Knowing this, ask tough questions and clear the air.

Leo (Jul 22 - Aug 21)
Your loyalty and capacity to sustain unshakeable commitments may be a virtue. However, this cycle's often dramatic shifts require far greater flexibility even in situations you regard as unchanging. However, you can transform and retain some of them.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 21)
Revelations are surprising if not worrying. Still if you undertake necessary changes you'll realise that even challenging developments are only shaking up restrictive arrangements. Better yet, this alerts you to the cycle of thrilling opportunities that begins this week.

Libra (Sep 22 - Oct 22)
For ages you've been diplomatically avoiding issues you've known would upset others. Sidestepping these has caused confusion and held back progress. So when Venus' encounter with Pluto forces these out in the open be uncharacteristically blunt.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 20)
Both past experience and a wariness of certain individuals might justify caution in revealing your feelings. Now, however, pivotal situations triggered by Wednesday's encounter between Venus and Pluto bring such matters to a head. Speak frankly.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 - Dec 20)
Others are making decisions you're unhappy about. Ordinarily you'd battle to do things your way. However, these are temporary and clear the way for astonishing and unexpected opportunities triggered by Jupiter's potent alliance with Saturn on the 21st.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19)
You can cope with challenges as long as you understand the reasons behind them. But what you're facing makes no sense. Be patient. The stunning planetary activity of November's last half will clarify why some of what's familiar must go.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
Disruptive as recent events have been, if you followed your instincts that indicated they were for the best, then you'll have no trouble with this week's developments. The changes will take you in unfamiliar but worthwhile directions; simply go with the flow.

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 19)
When others object to your ideas or plans listen carefully to their reasons and you'll learn a great deal. Things are changing and since it's impossible for any single individual to keep up with everything, discussions with others could prove hugely informative.
