Boricua en la Lima

I have always been a big fan of the Chinese Horoscope, especially around Chinese New Year.  However, some of the Tiger predictions for the Year of the Fire Monkey seem pretty crappy for me so I have been hesitant to post them here for fear of making some of those bad predictions come true! However, I did find this one website which for some reason I had never found before, which I found terribly insightful.  Maybe not so much because of the predictions  but more so because of the compatibility analysis and personality analysis . I feel like I learned a lot about myself and others close to me reading this.  Hope you do as well.

In my new line of work everyone is always telling me (well not just me, everyone!) "you have to write all the time", "you have to produce online content, not just share content", "you have to build your online professional presence", etc.  Well, I got kind of tired of hearing it and decided today was the day to get back into the good old forgotten blog. I’ve got a few topics I’m going to write over the next few weeks (time permitting which is scary!) but I’m going to start with an update on where I’m working, why I’m working here, and why it might be the place that just might stick... Well, here's the update. After working in Asia Sur for about 1.5-2 years (cannot remember time anymore now that I'm 41, ouch!) I left the magazine at the end of March and decided I would re-group and try to find a job that would be a much better fit with my skills and my need to balance personal and professional life. After almost 3 years of living in Peru I f...

Well I can't say I'm very happy about the opening paragraph but once I read through the predictions fully a lot of these things make sense.  I think I just expected 2015 to be a year for radical changes (at least compared to 2014) and it seems like it's gonna be a year for hunkering down and biding my time.  I'm not crazy about the idea of that especially given my tiger-like lack of patience, but I hope somehow it all works out for the best. We'll see in a year what actually happened looking back... I think also heard in there that I'm not supposed to work out quite as much next year.  And let's not talk about the spending less money part :) Overview Can't say that this year is anything to cheer about. Then again, you do have three good months, and there should be some opportunities in another two. With the Horse in charge, last year was probably a great one for you! But did you charge full speed ahead, trying to keep up with that Horse? You may no...

I am always amazed at the Chinese Zodiac´s accuracy in predicting what will happen in a given year. I am Tiger who had a rough go at it in 2013 and is definitely hoping for a much better 2014.  Given there´s been some excitement around the office on this particular topic I thought I would post my predictions for 2014 here so I can come back in 2015 and see what happened.  I am actually copying and pasting (giving credits to the source right HERE ) because last year I posted a link to the actual web site and then the link disappeared to give way for the following year´s horoscope.  And I don´t want to miss the chance to come back next year and reflect on my horoscope for this year.  So here goes...I think I may need to especially heed the call about staying away from social networks.  Maybe blog more as an introspective way of reflecting on my life, but stay off Twitter and Facebook.  Wonder if that´s possible.  Other than that the Year of the Horse de...
