Categores: Daily Life, Internet Finds.
I wrote two blog entries today! My recommendations: for geekery, see the other entry; for gossip, read current one; for lurkers and stalkers, read both.
I’ve been tagged by tagged by Tosha and Lissy to do this random facts meme. It’s a lot less evil than the vices meme Teddy tagged me for, the last time.
Here’s how to play:
Once you’ve been tagged you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random facts, habits, or goals about yourself — at the end choose 5 people to be tagged. Don’t forget to leave them a comment saying “You’re It!” and to go read your blog. You cannot tag the person that tagged you.
10 Random Facts About Ivy
- I am afraid of fish: They are freaking scary. Every time I see them at the market, they look like they are still alive and if I were to chop off something, they’ll wake up to bite me with those horribly sharp teeth.
- I am afraid of dentists: Owners of the blogs I frequent will know that I never ever comment on posts where they write about a trip to the dentist. And if I do comment, it’s to apologize for not reading it. My fear goes back to my first grade. I absolutely abhor the school dentist. She’s mean and cranky and evil. And she pokes around my mouth with tools, without ever thinking about my pain. Argh, just the word ‘dentist’ gives me the goosebumps.
- I am 157cm or 5′2″ short.: Because of my outgoing and dominant personality, most people who’ve met me in person perceive me to be taller than I actually am. Considering that I played 10 years of basketball, 157cm is just…pathetic. But thanks to all those who perceive my height to be taller than 160cm. You all make me feel better about myself. LOL!
- I am a tomboy.: With the amount of makeup and skirts I wear, most people perceive me to be a girly-girl. WRONG! I was a tomboy in my teenaged years, and I still carry a lot of masculine personality traits. I also check out girls when I go out; not because I’m interested in them, but just out of habit, since I spent most of my life hanging out with boys.
- I speak with an American accent: Yes, I was born and raised in Asia. But I also went to a school taught by British teachers from 2nd grade and continued in schools taught by American teachers since 8th grade. Most of my classmates were American too. So I inadvertently speak like them. I can speak with a Singapore and Canadian accent as well. But when I’m angry, I will revert back to my American accent - that’s how I know that it’s my original accent.
- I watched 3,000 episodes of anime in the last two years: I kid you not. Check out my complete anime list at myanimelist.com. So, all you anime fans and anime curious, you know who’s the definitive source for anime recommendations now.
As an unintended side-effect, I can now understand conversational Japanese without trying. - However, I am not an otaku オタク.: I don’t own any anime memorabilia, I don’t play games adapted from anime and I don’t think I will ever engage in cosplaying. Although… I admit that I like checking out cosplayers. I have also never been an anime festival nor do I intend to. I also have a life aside from watching anime. LOL!
- My favorite color is turquoise…which explains why my last two layouts had different variations of turquoise on them.
- I have a broken ankle and a broken arm: Long story short, the broken ankle was caused in a street basketball incident and the broken arm was caused by a sailing certification incident.
- I can’t draw on pencil and paper… even if my life depended on it. I call myself a design enthusiast and I even have a deviantart account to show off all my vexels. I also drew the freaking flower in this layout, but the fact is, I can’t draw with pencil on paper - even my stick figures look horrible.
And that brings my long-list of random facts to a close. I will bring upon the horrible fate of internet meme-ing to the following people:
- Teddy - for my sweet revenge
- Tammy - to encourage more frequent blog posts
- Terin Selena - for kindly writing an entry about my entry
- Melle - for making a cute new layout for her blog
- Katy - because she’s hot
To the tagged people, let me know if you don’t do tags, I’ll add someone else in your place. 
To everyone else…
What are some random facts about you? Do we share any similarities?

So, looks like the five meme has leaked from YouTube vloggers to the old-school bloggers. Thanks to Teddy, I’ve been tagged. And these are the instructions:
1. List five vices you have, with a description if you want to.
2. Tag five bloggers for this meme.
3. Link back to the blogger who tagged you, and this post if you want to be nice!
- Hot Tempered
This has gotta be my greatest vice. Of all my emotions, my temper is the hardest emotion to control. Over the years, I’ve managed to become not so short-tempered anymore. But when some great injustice has occurred around me or towards me, you can be sure to feel the wrath of my anger, which is expressed as a sick and twisted form of calculated psychological warfare. I will break your spirit and tear your mind to shreds. I’ve only been angry like that twice in my life - once when I was 13 (but did not have sophisticated-enough understanding of humans to launch any successful warfare) and a second time a year ago (and yes, I tore his soul down to nothing). - Unforgiving
I believe that the underlying evil or goodness of someone cannot change. If you were born as an immoral inconsiderate bastard, then you will always be an immoral inconsiderate bastard. So if you cross me or my friends once, I will never ever forgive you. I don’t think I will exact any revenge, since I’m a firm believer of karma, but if one day you should ever need my help, you can count on the fact that I won’t be there. Besides, scum bags like that just a waste of the world’s resources; there’s no need to share my resources with someone like that. - Vulgar
You’d think going to university will make someone more cultured. Hell no. When the stress is unbearable, the words will flow out naturally. - Impatient
I’m not exactly the most patient person in the world. I can’t stand it when anything is done inefficiently since I always work in the way that requires the least effort to get the highest success rate. - Reckless
I don’t think this is a current vice, but it was one that I was born with. It took many years to learn to be more cool and composed. But there are times, especially when I’m very angry that the recklessness may surface. But even then, it is somewhat calculated.
Scary, aren’t I? That’s the side of me that most people cannot see, and most likely will never see. I am a fiercely loyal to my friends and family and will always try to protect them. I have an extremely strong sense of justice as well. And sometimes, those righteous emotions lend itself to a much darker side of me. All my vices stem from the fact that I have an extremely overwhelming temper, so I try hard everyday to be less angry. My anger isn’t blind, reckless anger that stems from pride (at least not anymore), it comes from my love for humanity. It will take a while to explain, so I shall leave this for another entry.
I will now pass on this insightful meme to the following people:
- Id of notbrainwashersafe.com
- K of another.pieceofsky.org
SP of simply-precious.netMichael of michaelpark.net- Destiny of everdestiny.com
- Momo of theolivewaking.com
I’d like to tag a few more people like Shao, Sigg3 and Iva but five is the maximum, so the rest of you guys can either break protocol and say you’ve been pseudo-tagged or just leave a comment. Sorry!
