So today is the Chinese New Year and I want to greet my friends (the ones with or without Chinese blood) "GONG XI FA CAI." l(ol)
Let us say good bye to the year of the Fire Rooster and welcome the year of the Earth Dog!
I found this image and I think it's very cool for this post haha.
So, the year of the Fire Rooster was a blast to me. Last year, I viewed my horoscope (yes, I believe in them) and I found out that the ones born with zodiac Dragon will have a good year. woooh
I could use this as a tattoo hahaha.
So, this was my forecast last year:

Part of it came true, part of it didn't.
In general, I really had an improvement of my fortune. I started saving money, and I was amazed how I didn't spend it as fast as I did for the past years. I always have trouble in saving up money, and I always end up spending it to not so important things. I tend to get sad every time my savings box gets empty without me buying stuff for myself. Also, Steemit provided me a profit. I reckoned that I hit a jackpot: improve, share and profit my talent in writing. I also found friends that doesn't feel distant at all. I found great contents and great people.
In terms of career, I could say it is somewhat achieved.
I didn't have failing grades in school. I also took up a scholarship program that I think I'm never going to pass hahaha. I learned many stuff and I found great way of exercising my mind by reading some educational articles online. I could say, my school career went smoothly last year.
I also hope this year.
I also started opening up doors that opportunity is knocking on. When I was offered to take part on the Division Schools Press Conference once more, I took it. I was waiting for it after I failed my first attempt as an individual contestant. Now, I am offered to a team, to make a school paper for the maximum of 5 hours. I was their Feature Writer and we ended up being the 2nd Place. In overall ranking (including all schools that contested), we placed 2nd. Not bad.
Me and my Collaborative Publishing Filipino Team :)
In summary, I didn't have much troubles this year. Maybe the Rooster loved me so much ahhaha. All of it went smoothly, but the only issue is my love life. NO DEVELOPMENT AT ALL #NGSB #single4lyf
So today, I will share this year's Dragon Forecast.
Since the earthly branch of Dragon (辰) and Dog (戌) conflict with each other, you people under the Dragon sign will conflict with Tai Sui in 2018, the year of Dog. What's more, five inauspicious stars, namely 'Sui Po' (岁破), 'Da Hao' (大耗), 'Yue Sha' (月煞), 'Bao Wei' (豹尾) and 'Lan Gan' (栏杆), eye on you covetously while the auspicious stars are very few, so your luck will be seriously tested and you will experience ups and downs in all aspects.
As an ancient Chinese saying goes, the inauspicious star 'Sui Po' will bring bad luck to all aspects. Plus, 'Da Hao' and 'Lan Gan' will lead to financial losses and obstacles in career, so your luck for wealth will be unfavorable. 'Yue Sha' symbolizes the troubles brought by women and you should beware of the tales told by female colleagues in your company; 'Bao Wei' indicates that you will encounter unexpected personnel disputes or changes and should prevent conflicts with friends.
You Dragons should stick to the principle of "move rather than stay still". You might as well take the initiative to change, break the convention and make efforts on innovation, which will naturally minimize the adverse impacts of conflicting with Tai Sui.

Sooooo..... what the hell. Hope this won't come true.
It's not bad to believe in horoscope at all. We should just remember that we are the ones making our lives and our decisions to make.
