I always thought I was bad at writing. That was until a teacher awarded me with a gift card for writing the best paper in the class for an assignment. It surprised me, I didn't expect my writing amount to anything special at all, especially when other students were given an incentive to write their best. When I was in grade school, my grades in English were often lower than my grades in Math. My…
Bear Blog having just the "bear necessities" I need to blog is probably the main reason why I keep blogging. It’s easy to post, there's little to fuss over, and I get to read other people's blogs through the discovery. It’s simple and it's fun. I didn't bother creating my blog's theme from scratch. I've already done that several times in my previous attempts to create the "perfect" website for…
Not too long ago I had a horrid sleep schedule where I would essentially sleep after sunrise, and wake up in the evening. It was also wildly inconsistent. But then I was gifted Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and it became my reason to wake up and go to bed. I modeled all my Mii residents after my friends, and had gotten quite attached to them. Now, my infatuation for the game has faded, but I…
I've accumulated a list of things that help me feel better. I thought I'd share it. Sugary treats : Because I got a sweet tooth. Dark chocolate : I used to not like it as a kid, but after trying one with raspberry filling in high school, I've been a fan ever since. Hot tea : The warmth feels nice, especially if I'm having cramps. I also may have had a caffeine addiction. I drink tea a lot less now…
My boyfriend and I had a 3-day getaway at a casino resort recently and I thought I should write about it. Let's go gambling!!! On the first day, after settling into our room and eating dinner, we tried out some slot machines. We both received $10 worth of promotional points after obtaining the card needed to use the machines. My boyfriend stopped playing after using up his free points, but I kept…
I am guilty of using generative AI prolifically for writing and programming during my final year in college. I did not have confidence in my writing, and believed AI did it better and faster than I did. After a while I ended up using it to also answer questions, give me solutions, and even ideate for me. By the end of college, I noticed my ability to think critically diminished significantly. I…
Recently, I visited Taiwan with my family. We stayed at my grandparents’ place, went to various restaurants, and saw some family friends. We also got some medical checkups done while we were there. The first doctor we visited was a local dermatologist. I had some weird patches of blood spots (petechiae) appearing on my arms and legs. The dermatologist gave me antihistamines, vitamin C, and some…
I been meaning to make a post like this for a while now, to share personal experiences of physical stressors related to sexual health, and how I deal with them. Period pains Periods refer to the duration of bleeding, and menstrual cycles refer to the time between the start of each period. I have irregular menstrual cycles and have heavy, and occasionally painful, periods. I think the irregularity…
About this blog I started a blog on Bear because I enjoyed reading my friend's blog on it. Since I already write a lot through journaling, I thought I'd give it a try. Hopefully this post gives you a better idea about who I am, and what to expect from future posts! About me I'm known online as CChirpy. The name came to be because I like birds and the letter C. As for my given name, Connie, people…
