 Currently I'm pondering the idea of intrepreting it into a Chinese Zodiac cosplay-of-sorts, specifically of my sign - the Snake. :)

Apparently one of the Snake's lucky colors is black... which works well since the Chinese dress I would wear is black... with some pink flowers on the collar.

I don't remember what the flowers look like on the dress but they could potentially represent the Snake's lucky flowers - the orchid and the cactus.

I really don't know why I'm so indecisive about the costume I'll be wearing to the event. It's not like I'm trying to impress Alex or anything. *shrugs* I just haven't been too thrilled with some of the costumes I came up with... or the ones I was excited about ended up being turned down because of not having the right items to use.

Good afternoon everyone. Just going to post here for awhile until Dad finishes making a grocery list and we head off to get whatever we need.
And yes, I'm still planning on wearing the Chinese dress. No costume changes this time around, lol.

 I'm planning on doing a couple of these with my hair while wearing my costume. It's called a "snake braid". Pretty suiting since I'm thinking of my the Chinese Zodiac Snake, eh?

Sorry about not saying good-bye earlier. I got busy trying to finish what I was doing on another website that I felt I took too much time doing that to get ready for grocery shopping, heh.

In Chinese astrology the animal signs assigned by year represent what others perceive you as being or how you present yourself. It is a common misconception that the animals assigned by year are the only signs and many western descriptions of Chinese astrology draw solely on this system. In fact, there are also animal signs assigned by month (called inner animals), by day (called true animals) and hours (called secret animals).By using the BaZi Calculator, I determined what my zodiac animals were. It's the first time I've heard about the zodiac animals for month, day, and hour.Year: Earth Snake
Month: Metal Horse
Day: Water Rat
Hour: Metal Dog

In some places, people believe that a snake found in their court can bring delight. During Spring Festival, people like to paste onto their doors and windows the paper-cut 'Fu' character (happiness), combined with a snake twisting around a rabbit onto their doors and windows as a popular pattern indicating wealth. StrengthsPeople born in the year of the Snake often have a good temper and a skill at communicating but say little. They possess gracious morality and great wisdom.

The spirit of the horse is recognized to be the Chinese people's ethos – making unremitting efforts to improve themselves. It is energetic, bright, warm-hearted, intelligent and able. Ancient people liked to designate an able person as 'Qianli Ma', a horse that covers a thousand li a day (one li equals 500 meters). StrengthsPeople born in the year of the horse have ingenious communicating techniques and in their community they always want to be in the limelight. They are clever, kind to others, and like to join in a venture career. Although they sometimes talk too much, they are cheerful, perceptive, talented, earthy but stubborn. They like entertainment and large crowds. They are popular among friends, active at work and refuse to be reconciled to failure, although their endeavor cannot last indefinitely. WeaknessesThey cannot bear too much constraint. However their interest may be only superficial and lacking real substance. Horse people are usually impatient and hot blooded about everything other than their daily work. They are independent and rarely listen to advice. Failure may result in pessimism. They usually have strong endurance but with bad temper. Flamboyant by nature, they are wasteful since they are not good with matters of finance due to a lack of budgetary efficiency. Some of those who are born in the horse like to move in glamorous circles while pursuing high profile careers. They tend to interfere in many things and frequently fail to finish projects of their own. Horoscope and Numerology ElementsEarthly Branch of Birth Year: wu Wu Xing (The Five Elements): huo (fire) Yin Yang: yang Auspicious Directions: northeast, southwest and northwest Lucky Colors: brown, yellow, purple; Avoid: blue, white, golden Lucky Numbers: 2, 3, 7; Avoid 1, 6, 5 Lucky Flowers: calla lily, jasmine, marigold Zodiac Sign Compatibility - Best match: tiger, sheep, dog; Avoid: rat, ox, rabbit
