My colleague Rita made me happy today. In the midst of having lunch and bashing our oh-so-nice (read: sarcastic) boss, Rita delved into horoscope which made all of us (well, mostly Gem and I) extremely interested to hear about our own signs.
Madame Rita gave us an analysis of our personalities—weaknesses and strengths—based on our signs. Here’s what she had to say about me:
March—pure Pisces
Characteristics: very effeminate, typical woman—dependent, damsel in distress (oh, well), weak
Strengths: healer; a person anyone can turn to for comfort
Weakness: straight from Rita’s mouth: “mahilig mag-ipon . . . ng sama ng loob . . . at pag sumabog sya, sya pa din ang nasasaktan” Ouch.
Year of the Rat
Characteristics: the luckiest sign; very cunning, very smart; God’s favorite (ehem)
Unfortunately, according to Madame Rita, this year, which is the year of the rat, I may not be so fortunate. She says one can have four lucky stars and four bad stars. And this year, my own year, I get three to four bad stars. L Madame Rita says that’s how it is: when it’s your year, you’re not so lucky. Oh, well. I guess that explains everything, if am superstitious enough to believe.
Of course, Gem and I couldn’t resist asking her about our love lives. Hehehe. Here’s her analysis:
Pisces and Taurus—earth and water: a good combination; a classic match of the provider and the nurturer. J
From now on, every lunch break, we’ll be having Madame Rita horoscope sessions. I hope she doesn’t think of charging us, though. 
Looking forward to more blissful years ahead (and that deep red Sony PSP you’re going to buy me this weekend! nyahaha!)
