Aquarius Man | Nick Carter

2012-01-28T02:41:00.000-08:00

Nick Carter (born January 28, 1980) is an American singer-songwriter, dancer, musician, entertainer and actor. He is best known as one of the lead vocalists of the pop group, Backstreet Boys. He went on to release a solo album called Now Or Never during their hiatus. He has made occasional television appearances and starred in his own reality show, House of Carters. As a solo artist he sold over 500,000 records worldwide. He is also the older brother of singer Aaron Carter.

The Character of an Aquarius Man

The same doesn’t hold true for himself. He wants to hide his feelings from everyone and deliberately makes his reactions complex, just for the fun of fooling others. Love is just another experience for him, till he has been driven to the point of the altar. For him, all the people he has met hold a special place and special value. In the case of an Aquarian male, everyone is special, including those people whom he hasn’t met yet. Selfishness is not one of his personality traits and he does not like small-mindedness.There is hardly any person on this earth whom an Aquarius man doesn’t like. He is a people’s person and almost every second person he meets becomes his friend. If he likes you, you are one of the many people he has befriended. It is when he doesn’t like you at all or he likes you way too much that there are chances he has noticed you from amongst his numerous pals. As per an Aquarian male, the best way to pass the time is to probe into people’s life and know their innermost feelings.

2012-01-25T00:21:00.000-08:00

What used to be a barren islet off Baranggay Bato in Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur has been turned into a beach resort. Officially called the Passig Islet Aqua-Eco Park Resort. Forget about natural state of things - this is all about an islet that has been turned to look like an island with swaying palm trees. So coconut trees were planted, cottages were erected and old tires ringed portions of the islet to prevent sand erosion.

ALFRED VALDEZ

2012-01-23T01:11:00.000-08:00

Today's eye candy is Alfred Valdez. He is the Ginoong Metro Manila 2008 Turismo.

Here are a few of his favorite quotations found in his Facebook account:

In this world we can't expect that everything will turn out okay,that everyone will be kind. some people are born to hurt you but they are also created to make us strong and teach us to love ourselves more.il try to be strong.

Maybe some people just aren't meant to stay in our lives forever, maybe some people are just passing through. It's like some people just come through our lives to bring us something, a lesson we need to learn, and that's why they are there.

We can never turn back the pages of time, though we may wish to relive a happy moment, or say good-bye just one last time, we never can, because the sands of time continue to fall, and we can't turn the hourglass over.

Take a second out to think about this: in your life you search and search for the right person for you. Every time you break up with someone you get one step closer to that person. You should look at moving on as getting closer to meeting the one.

The DOG in The Year of The Dragon

2012-01-22T00:42:00.001-08:00

If your birthday is before February 4, then your astrological sign is Chicken, not Dog.

Dog and Dragon have fighting relationship. 2012 is the year of Dragon. The sign of Chinese Horoscopes is that the Dragon is the officer in charge of 2012 activities and Dragon can use its power to suppress any animal against it. If Dog wants to challenge the Dragon in the year of 2012, then Dog will invite lots of trouble to itself. Since Dog and Dragon cannot get along well, Dog cannot get any advantage from Dragon. Therefore, 2012 is not a good year for Dog people. Also, there are a couples of Unlucky Stars coming to Dog people. Both health and money luck are not looking good either.

Note: This view is from Traditional Chinese Horoscopes. Chinese Five Element Astrology might give you different opinion, which determines people luck by Five Elements, not animals.

Career
Since there is a fighting relationship between Dog and Dragon, this implies that Dog people relationships are very bad in 2012. Therefore, Dog people won't get much support from their job.

Dog people should not have any arguments or dispute with coworkers or team leaders in the office. It's not a good time to think about to changing jobs.

In business, when signing a contract for a business deal, you need to read carefully to protect your interests. Stock traders and stock speculators should use conservative approaches. Dog people need to avoid any dispute to prevent from lawsuit, which will cost you a lot. Gambling, playing the lottery, or doing any sort of risky investment will possibly bring you money loss. If you can watch for your wallet before spending or investing, then you will have better money luck in 2012.

Love
The fighting relationship between Dog and Dragon won't bring a good love relationship to Dog people. Emotions of Dog people in 2012 will go up and down. Love relationships are unpredictable and intangible. If you are single and pursuit a perfect soul mate, then your dream will be broken. If you are in love, then you need to cool down to handle situations when unnecessary disagreements raise issues. Otherwise, love relationships will become unstable. Because of the pressure from career and finances, married Dog people need more patient to manage family events to have a harmonious marriage life at home,

Health
There are Unlucky Stars related to health showing in the year of Dragon. Dog people are not only caring for the health of themselves, but also all the members in the family, especially the elders. If you or family member suffer minor discomfort for a while, then the person should go to the hospital for a checkup to make sure that is not a sign of a major disease.
