My Personality (Part II)

I’m sure you are just going to ignore my warnings if I make a big WARNING sign here so I’ll get on with this post with whatever remaining dignity I have left... *whimper*

So this is the second part of my friends’ perspective of “My personality”. If you cannot remember what it was all about, please check the previous post - My personality (Part I).

Here are my results yet again ^___^
Fig 1. What my friends think of me. Clearly I’m anything BUT normal >.>

From the results, I was quite surprised to see the dramatic decrease in the number of people who initially thought of me as an average guy. I thought I was average but apparently not.

Here is a picture of me looking like an average guy.
Fig 2. The average guy. Although I question why he is posing in front of a camera (?) 

I look pretty average for a guy right? Some say I am tank (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE *STARE*) but quite honestly, I don’t gym or work out so I really don’t know why they would say that T____T. People who commit the time and patience to gym make me jealous... I myself continuously snack on gummy lollies and may consume over 5kg of food! I also do not diet (healthy binges aren’t diets since I just avoid fast food joints while I am on them). By saying this, I hope to evoke jealousy among the people who make ME jealous. I feel accomplished *SMILE*

Moving on, people often say that I am VERY girly or cute. This makes me sad in more ways than one
T____________________________T   <- Big sad face
 I am not particularly girly looking! And I have a firm belief that there are no REAL cute guys <sarcasm> and shock and horror to all you people who are both outraged and devastated by my conviction </sarcasm>. Also, I’m not THAT girly or cute personality wise, I prefer not to hit people cause it’ll hurt them and I don’t like people being hurt (but I’m totally fine with pinching poeple’s cheeks :3). I will be very unlikely to never cross dress also *STARE* YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE *STARE*

*sigh*
 Figure 3. A NOT SO GIRLY picture... believe me now?

After my rant, I’ll finish up with my nerdy aspect of myself. Clearly, my image doesn’t fit in with the typical nerd stereotype. I would love to have glasses but my vision is greater than 20/20. When other people guess what university course I am doing, I get Arts more often than not. But I can assure you that I am VERY smart... I think... though I should probably study more despite passing everything without studying – which further emphasises how smart I am. I blitz through highschools being regarded as an academic elite. And yet I still get excited when people call me smart *sigh*. It is VERY hard to play happy and outgoing and nerdy at the same time. And why I fail at stereotypes.

But here’s a very moe moe Megane-kun picture of me 83
Figure 4. Me trying to look nerdy. And failing at it... on the other hand, I think I see a very BISHII MEGANE KUN~ <3

Sadly, looking through them makes my eyes hurt.

Anyway, that concludes Part II.
The final installment, Part III contains the most surprising results of all! I hope you have all learnt a bit about what my friends think about me. I SURE DID *STARE*

Cheers, ` .tb

My Personality (Part I)

WARNING~!! PLEASE STOP READING NOW~!!!

.... PLEASE?


EVIL READER~!!! I can’t believe I put myself through a cam whoring session. IT FELT SOOO DISGUSTING!!

But i look pwetty :3
*blush*

*sigh... you aren’t gonna stop are you? Well, ok, but I warned you....

Anyways, I decided to ask my friends’ perspective of me right after the last post before this. Here is a copy of when I asked them: 
 
Which phrase best describes your FIRST IMPRESSION of me?
a)       An average guy
b)       Cheery and happy; friendly and sparkly~! You make my eyes hurt *_*
c)       A Teenybopper
d)       A girly/cute guy
e)       Too smart for me, better not talk to you
f)        A nerd I CAN hit since you don’t have glasses =P         
g)       I DON’T LIKE YOU *stares*

Which phrase best describes my overall personality?
a)       An average guy
b)       Cheery and happy; friendly and sparkly~! You make my eyes hurt *_*
c)       Tsundere: a person who is initially cold/hostile towards another before gradually showing their warm side over time
d)       A Teenybopper
e)       A girly/cute guy
f)        Too smart for me, better not talk to you
g)       I DON’T LIKE YOU *stares*

There is also a third question but it’s a secret for now ^______^

Anyway, here are the results with a sample size of FIFTY FRIENDS:



Figure 1. What my friends think of me *KIRA KIRA*

From the results you can definitely say that I’m made out of rainbows and unicorns~ After knowing people for a while, I guess I was also blinking glitter cause there was a 32% INCREASE in the number of people who thought I was too SPARKLY for their eyes! BEAT THAT EDWARD~!!!

Figure 2. Edward. Now stare directly into the sun. THAT WHAT I LOOK LIKE APPARENTLY=D

Jokes! I don’t blind your eyes. Here’s what I really look like~!

Figure 3. See~! I’m not toooooooooooo SPARKLY~ Certainly NOT blinding.... >.>

For all those who ACTUALLLY looked into the sun, you are all fools, but I guess you can’t see this...

For all those blinded by my picture... I hate you... I’M NOT THAT BLINDING T_______T If you want to know a personal insight, I believe I over compensate my happiness sometimes. You should catch me early in the morning one day~ I am anything BUT shiny (of course early means 5-6am in the morning after a night’s sleep; catching my @ 1am without sleep should be only attempted with a blindfold, i am THAT hyper)

But I digress; I am also very happy that my teenybopper status dropped a WHOOPING 72%~!!!!!!! Sooner or later, I guess people realise that I NEVER wag class and I don’t pretend to be “top shit” and better than them. I am MUCH NERDIER than I look~ I can confidently say that elevated serum TSH levels accompanied elevated T3 and T4 would most likely be due to an overactive pituitary or a pituitary tumour. It will usually also involve other endocrine systems. 

If you are wondering what a teenybopper is, think of a cross between a gangster’s son and the powerpuff girls. Urban dictionary describes them as: 

“Stupid girls of ages 10-14 who squeal and giggle so much that Satan is willing to drag them back to hell...”

I like my description better ^____^

 Figure 4. Being teenybopper for you all. If I get any closer to the camera, I’ll either poke my eyes out or smash my computer screen

At this point in time, I’m too ashamed to post anymore more pictures of myself so I’ll continue this next time~!  

Love ‘ .tb
NOT TEENYBOPPER~!!!

I should also apologise for my crappy picture quality but all i have is a web cam, my camera broke. T^T

Statement of Intention

I apologise for my bad literacy skills of the previous posts; I have just come to a self-realisation that I suffer from “writer’s ADHD”. I will come back to this issue in later posts. Anyway this entry will hopefully clear up some of the randomness my blog seems to possess. 

So why did I suddenly want to create yet another blog? For two very simple reasons:
1.       To improve and apply myself in writings of self reflection and record personal accomplishments
2.       To improve my drawing skills and challenge myself to a variety of different styles, genres and complex scenarios

“Teddybites” is named so because this blog contains bite sized snippets of my mind. The title creates a personification of me through a very simple acronym - tb. Tb is my initials and I can quite confidently say, I should not have the attitudes, values or in anyway associate with those “teenyboppers” you find in the streets wagging school (although it has been reported that my style of dress and behaviour may evoke a Teenybopper-like ambience). 

I am a relatively non-typical university student trying his best to be a typical university student. 

Teddybites is in no way associated to any plans, being trialled or in development to create and conquer the world with an army of mechanical teddybears that is able to bite through every known element to mankind. 

You, the reader, have the opportunity at anytime ask any questions and/or request specific art to be drawn by either posting here or emailing me at teddybites@gmail.com. All I request is that it be kept relatively appropriate for publishing on the blog. 

I AM READY TO TAKE ON ANY REQUEST~! LET'S GO~
Putting on my jacket and ready to take on the world of the internet’s Blogosphere. 
<yes, i took ages to colour the picture; i'm sure you guys will like it more than i did, enjoy!>

Exams

Examination of exams; an analysis of their effectiveness

Welcome to my first real blog entry. As some are aware, the start of this blog marked the completion and my liberation from the tyranny of examinations, and no doubt some have still yet to triumph to a borderline pass.

For everybody who has finished, I congratulate/offer my condolences to you. For those who haven’t, I highly, HIGHLY recommend you get off the internet and continue to cram... after you read my PEARLS OF WISDOM.

Tonight, I shall be analysing examinations from my perspective.

~ The Essence of Examinations
Have you ever stopped and thought about why the educational institutions insist on exams? Of course you haven’t; YOU’D BE CRAZY TO EVER STOP AND THINK OF EXAMS UNNECCESSARILY!! 

Detaining everybody in a room and making you fabricate a literacy diarrhoea of convolutions of which you had only studied the night before seems pointless but the blackmail of FAILURE makes you keep going right?

Well, this might be a crazy idea but maybe exams were created for that purpose; to make sure students study, it’s not like people study any other time during the year!

“WHERE’S THE PEARLS OF WISDOM?” I hear you all say, most likely in reference to the bubble tea you are all craving.

Coffee tastes better served when served by cute people <3

Case 1: Coffee tastes better served with love. AND LOOK~!!! THERE'S A HEART <3  ~!!! I feel special, especially since none of my other friends got a heart :3 (taken 2 hours before exams)
~ The Ruthless Results

So, what can you do about it?

To better analyse how you can most effectively prepare yourself for the dreaded results, i shall use a method involving the temporality of the situation.
1.       Immediately before exams
·         Sleep in (highly not recommended)
·         Cram
·         Cry
·         DO NOTHING
2.       During exams
·         Sleep
·         Cry
·         Do nothing
·         DO SOMETHING (highly recommended)
3.       Post examination period
·         Hmmm... I don’t think you can’t do anything differently than what you’ve already done...

In conclusion, NOTHING you can do can really affect the marks you get, especially after having writ the exams.

OR SO I THOUGHT until the morning of the exams.

I woke up on this day at an insane time of 5.55am and got to the venue at an insane time of 7:30am (this is 2 hours before the exams!!!). The reason I was insane enough to do this was because my friend offered me a lift to exams and living on the west side, this is really, REALLY rare; thus cherished like the last bubble on bubble wrap – you abuse it anyway!

Anyway, on our journey, there was a truck which was driving whilst being tilted on one side. I could imagine it just taking a turn and rolling over on its back like a turtle; only this turtle was 4 tonnes heavy and four times the size of our car. And while turtles harmlessly flailing its legs in the air, I’m sure this accident will involve high speed explosions crushing MILLIONS of cars in its path of DESTRUCTION.

But I digress, I asked my friend, “Would you stop and help someone if there was an accident?”

At this point, I had an epiphany, making my friend’s response irrelevant (although I hope he will help me if I get into a BURNING WRECK of INTESTINAL EXCRETEMENT~).

I realised that if there was an accident, stopping to help will be a traumatic experience, I’m sure you’d be able to apply for special considerations and somehow pass without needing to complete the exam.

Morale of the story: find a BLOODY HELLFIRE of an accident and turn up to exams covered with BLOOD!
Case 2: Turn up to exams covered with... tomato sauce :P consumption of this ambiguous substance is not recommended.

I HOPE EVERYONE DID WELL FOR THEIR EXAMS

On a more serious note, as of yesterday, the number of fatalities on Australian Victorian roads was 263, up from last year; 6.5 deaths per 100,000.

Please drive safely,
Love `.tb
