September 7, 2023

started unlike any other day I have had in Sydney. I woke up at 7AM in so much excitement – without an alarm. I wanted to make sure that I was available in case he messaged me that he was free at an earlier time. The day before he told me that he had to go get his RSA and RCG competency card and that his aunt will be driving him to Paramatta to get that. I messaged him Good Morning and he replied to me with Mo nin (Vietnamese pronunciation?), he messaged me around 10:20 that he was headed home. He said that after getting ready, he can get to Wolli Creek by 12:16PM. On the way to Wolli, he told me that he needed to leave by 5:20 because he need to go to a pub to meet his uncle or one of his uncle’s friends who will help him look for a job. I was kind of sad that we won’t be able to eat dinner together – but as is with life, we all have different priorities.

I had also asked some of my friends for help on wardrobe before leaving. I packed pringles for snacks, an extra heattech uniqlo sweater in case he got cold, an extra jacket in case he didn't want to wear a sweater. Backup clothes in case it rained or I spilled food on myself.

My train was 6 minutes late, but I was lucky enough to arrive 3 minutes before he did… because we’re getting on the same train that he was already on in order to get to Chatswood. He told me that he has never been to Chatswood; and we both like Salmon so – to Sushi Kaido we go. I was super excited to see him, I don’t even remember what we talked about initially. I was just so happy to see him. I told him that my surprise is going to be at 4PM since he needs to leave at 5PM. He was initially surprised because he just got off the train and now I forcibly made him go back to the same train; then, we transferred at Redfern to take a different train line to Chatswood.

While we were in the train, you keep saying that you’re “bloody Australian mate” and joking about the different Aussie accents and slang.

We got to Chatswood and I brought him to the Chatswood Interchange. I told him to take a photo and he told me that he doesn’t take photos of everything - just in places that are peaceful. We talked about so many things while going around and I pointed to you different Asian cuisines in Chatswood – I brought you to Sushi Kaido which was surprisingly across a Vietnamese restaurant. We ordered Salmon Sashimi and Salmon Avocado Sushi.

An important thing that happened was the song Somewhere Only We Know played inside the restaurant and I said that it's one of my favorite songs - he surprised me when he said "it's mine too, and it has many different versions". He also mentions Sunsetz by Cigarettes After Sex as one of his favorite songs.

We went walking around Chatswood and took a different route to go back to the train station. I asked him to get whatever his favorites are and -- we got some Earl Grey Milk Tea with White Pearl and Oolong Tea with White Pearl. I don't remember which one I liked more, one tasted more like tea and the other tasted more like milk.

You let me have the more milky one and I was fine even with less sugar and less ice. (Which looked like it surprised him because I can have 25% to 100% sugar).

While we were walking, he took photos of trees that were yellow. And, I told him that I liked trees that were more green, more alive and vibrant. He told me he liked neutral colors more - I said that I liked the vibrant colors because they represent me also - I don't necessarily dare to be different but I like to be a vibrant color in other people's lives. Life feels so colorless and I want to be more "alive".

I said that I didn't like trees that didn't have any leaves - it looked like it was dead or sad; you responded that there's this Buddhist belief that you cannot appreciate the vibrant ones without knowing what you're missing - "without sorrow, there is no joy". It also alludes to the fact that "All good things take time". It may be a bare tree now, but it will eventually have leaves again once winter ends.

Another one of our discussions is him mentioning the ways of working - being a doer, thinker, feeler, seers (https://www.stablevalue.org/four-ways-of-working-and-why-your-team-needs-them-all/) and how I said that this applies to me on all accounts. The discussion was ignited by how I said that I operate to ensure that I am not misinterpretted by other people; I choose to be sensitive to everyone as much as I can be.

I am a doer - I continuously check schedules and maps to ensure that we have a path to our next destination.

I am a thinker - I am constantly recomputing the checklist of things to do in my head as our time needs to be flexible (Sushi, Art Gallery, Park, Surprise of the Sydney Tower Eye).

I am a seer / visionary - I need to ensure that the experience is smooth; I told him "for example, we need to go to sushi kaido, it needs to be a good experience both visually and physically - not a lot of people, the weather should be great."

I am a feeler - I make sure that what I do is not misinterpretted even cross-culturally. I make the effort to understand and be properly understood.

A photo you wanted to take of me because it's ALBERT avenue.

We decided to try and chase the Art Gallery of NSW, but it was already 2PM and we had to ride the train to Town Hall. I told him that we might not spend a lot of time in the Art Gallery and that he would actually just enjoy Hyde Park since he has never been there.

We were almost at the train station and we saw an asian guy who smiles and jogs to his girlfriend. He mentioned that it was cute, the guy was excited because he was running to the love of his life - my response was very reactive "so, is that what I looked like when I saw you?" - he said "wait", and I just made an embarrassed face because I realized that that was kind of a confession?

Another question he asked when we were already at the train station was "aren't you afraid that people are going to take advantage of you? that you make yourself vulnerable to other people and you might get hurt?" - I responded that "it already happens, it actually happens a lot to me because I try to be nice to everyone. how will I know what happiness is without sorrow right?". He smiles at my response as to how I reference to his own Buddhism quote.

When we were in the train, he put his head back because he was getting a bit dizzy. I wasn't sure if it was a joke or not, but he said that I can put my head on his shoulder -- I obliged because why not? there wasn't a lot of people on the train. I put my head on his shoulder and I closed my eyes; every now and then I raised my head and just smiled at him.

I remember the train was on the North Sydney Bridge when I just grabbed his hand. I wanted to hug his arm while my head was on his shoulder. But I did something that surprised even me - I took his hand, and he said in his cute Vietnamese accent "What are you doing? --- what are you doing?". I said, "taking your hand". He initially talked about palm reading, the 3 lines on the palm from the thumb to the pinky denoting lifespan, learning and lovers. He said that "the longer the top line, the more lovers you have in your lifetime".

The North Sydney Bridge was so romantic, I couldn't help but interlace my fingers in his hand. And then, I asked him "is this okay?", he replied "50/50" - I replied, "because we're in public?" -- so I bring his hand down to the seat, and I held it the rest of the way to Town Hall. It felt... really warm and romantic. I just rested my head on his shoulder and when we were almost at Town Hall, I told him "I wish this train ride would never end." I took off my sweater and put it in my bag because it was really hot in the train (environmental and sentimental reasons).

We walked through Town Hall to Hyde Park. I don't remember all the things we talked about on the way, but it was mostly laughing about different things. The most notable parts that I should not forget is - he told me that he is also the youngest child, he is tired of beaches because his hometown is 5 minutes away from the beach. But before he did go to Sydney, he lived in Ho Chi Minh City / Saigon. (He was surprised that I knew that Saigon was Ho Chi Minh).

We took a bunch of photos in Hyde Park, and we sat on the bench by the fountain. I held his hand and asked if it was okay to which he responded "it's not... it's not because of other's opinion but it's just something inside that doesn't like to in public". We just took photos instead because even then, it was somehow romantic.

Photo in front of the Archibald Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park.

We walked around and even went to St. Mary's Cathedral; he took photos inside - and I explained to him some of my knowledge about Roman Catholicism (as I am on paper, though I don't practice). We talked about religion and he told me that he didn't have one. I told him that although on paper I am Roman Catholic, I despise it as much of the traditions are against the LGBTQIA+ Community.

After going around the Church, we went around the back side through the gardens of the Church and took photos there at my behest.

Him being so damn cute.

And, he took photos of me too...

The amount of shame in my body couldn't deal... so I decided to hug him. He hugged me back in a "buddy buddy" kind of way and said that "a girl is laughing when she saw us hugging". I apologized because I was just really embarrassed at having my photo taken.

By then, he had guessed my surprise to him, we were going to the Sydney Tower Eye at 4PM - the tallest point in Sydney.

Whilst walking there, there were occurrences wherein people weren't following the "left priority" causing us to slow down in our walk as we had to let people pass. He jokingly remarked "idiots" - I told him that "I found this very funny because I also say the same thing in my head when there are simple things that people cannot follow. I used to say this about people in the Philippines and my friends told me that I was really harsh for doing that."

We were walking to the escalator that goes immediately to the 5th floor of the Westfield connected to the Sydney Tower Eye and I asked him to carry my bag as I wanted to wear the sweater again. While I was putting on my black sweater on top of my red polo shirt, he decides to hug my bag tightly - to which I respond "I never thought I would say this, but I wish I was a bag right now". He responded with "so many pickup lines today!"

When we got to the extremely tall escalator, I was behind him and took this photo while cuddling against him.

Then... I wrapped my arms around his stomach from behind and tightened my embrace - he once again exclaimed "what are you doing?" to which I responded "just cuddling your fats". He was a bit conscious of other people seeing us, but luckily the person that was behind us was quite far. I made him move away from the escalator after we got to the top so that we wouldn't be seen / recognized by the people behind us.

We went to the Sydney Tower Eye lobby through the food court in Westfield - and he asked me "is the entrance free? you told me it was free". I replied, "yeah, it's free for you - not for me! it's my treat, and my surprise to you".

We took a photo before entering:

When going to the top of the Sydney Tower Eye, you take a photo at the photo booth and it gets edited on a green screen. Easily my favorite one is this photo:

When we got to the top, I asked him if he liked my surprise - and he took in the view. He took a lot of photos. We went around and around to take in different photos from different angles. We sat down a few times;

and, when we finally sat down to eat the pringles in my bag - I was surprised when he said a heartfelt "I'm really grateful that I met you, thank God for Enabling right". I told him that "I understand you have your own support system already here in Sydney, but add me to that list, know that I'm here for you to support you and help you succeed". That perhaps has been the sweetest thing I have ever heard from him as he doesn't always say sweet things.

At 5PM we left for him to go home, when we were headed down to the ground floor, the escalators were reversed and I joked to him "idiot, idiots everywhere" and he jokingly replied "designed by an idiot". I told him that I can ride with him to Marrickville in the same train line to Cabramatta because I need to buy something from a Filo store.

We unfortunately took the worst time to ride the train, it was jampacked because it was rush hour on a Friday after work. We were able to sit in the train but he had refused any kind of hugging or hand-holding since the train was full.

I missed my Marrickville train station and asked him for one more station, Campsie, he said "ok, but keep your word" to which I agreed. When I was going down from the train, I asked "could I hug you one more time?" he said adamantly "No" - I gestured to him with my hand and he just shook it in such a professional way - I said "is that really how you're going to say good bye to me?" - the last thing we did was interlocked are fingers for a few seconds just before I went down Campsie.

I went to a Filo store to buy the Crispy Fry for fried chicken; when he got home before he had to leave again, he messaged me:

he still had to network and submitted his resume for a service attendant job.

I asked him when he was free again, to which he responded "Thursday - but it depends if I might have to work on that day".

With all these feelings I had, I ended up writing a letter to him that night.

Since Yoshi's being made a fully playable character in Super Mario Bros Wonder beyond just being a ridable mount now seems like an appropriate time to discuss a little something I really wanted to do a long time ago! At some point around 2015 while I was still in high school I wanted to create a Yoshisona!

And the reason I wanted to do that should be pretty obvious. Yoshi was one of my favourite things form the Mario series! Not just the singular character but the species as a whole. The GBA port of Super Mario World was one of my first Mario games so I was exposed to him pretty early on in my life and he was one of my fav things about Super Mario World, he was one of the characters I consistently played as (other than my own Mii) across the whole Mario Kart series to the point where one of the main reasons I got the season pass for the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8 was because you got the ability to play as different coloured Yoshis as a bonus item, one of my fav karts in Mario Kart DS was the Egg One which was designed around a Yoshi egg, I got super disappointed when I found out I could only ride Yoshi in the levels I found him in in New Super Mario Bros Wii and couldn't take him beyond them, I was one of the many people who got super excited that Yoshi was going to be coming to Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Yoshi's Wolly World was one of my favourite games from 2015. I haven't played Yoshi's Crafted World yet beyond the demo but I'm willing to bet I'd enjoy it a lot if I ever got around to it.

My idea for my Yoshisona was having them be blue as that was the colour I liked the most and always played that coloured Yoshi in both Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros more of less roleplaying as myself but as a snarky and sarcastic blue Yoshi. Why did I never go though with creating it? Because I never got any further than the idea phase and eventually lost interest in doing a Yoshisona. If I wasn't as into Friendship is Magic and had my own Ponysona back then I might of actually gone though with it. I don't have any desire to resurrect this idea, I just wanted to share a little bit of history I guess.

The Divine Principle is a clever construction. Moon’s first edition reveals a big lie.

Wolli Wonbon was an early version of the Divine Principle “written” by Moon himself in two notebooks in Busan in 1951-52. A few copies were hand-written and distributed. Kim Won-pil had an early copy which he got typed into a computer when he was living in Japan. Park Chung-hwa also had a pair of Wolli Wonbon notebooks. It was largely a synthesis of the work of a number of leaders of small religious groups that pre-dated Moon – Kim Song-do, Lee Yong-do, Baek Nam-ju, Chong Duk-eun and Kim Baek-moon, etc. Kim Baek-moon had studied theology, unlike Sun Myung Moon whose highest education was evening classes on electrical engineering at a Tokyo High School.

Kim Baek-moon devised the basic theological structure of 1. Ideal, 2. Fall of Man and 3. History of Restoration. It was also he who created the Parallels of History culminating in 1917 (400 years after Martin Luther’s theses). 1917 was chosen because it was the year of Kim Baek-moon’s birth.

There is a Korean report that Moon got a follower to obtain Kim’s notes while both were refugees in Busan in 1952. Kim was living in the Dongnae district of Busan when his notes were stolen. He was furious. He eventually got his notes back after about six months – meantime Moon had copied all Kim’s ideas. LINK

In the 1970s one of the 36 Blessed Couples said he knew very well that many ideas had come from Kim Baek-moon. (One of his own relatives had been a follower of Kim before switching to Moon.) The 36 member said the important point was that Moon had got the Divine Principle out to the world.

In the end Sun Myung Moon was elevated by all the early church members, and the Unification Church, and given all the credit for the ‘revelations’ contained in the Divine Principle.

In Wolli Wonbon Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene. This was confirmed in 2012 by Dr Andrew Wilson, a Unification Church theologian at the US Unification Theological Seminary. A Sanctuary Church leader recently commented about this major revelation concerning, Wolli Wonbon the foundational version of the DP: “I would think the probable reason was that, in consultation with Eu Hyo-won, Father decided that this was not something that would help Christians to accept him.”

Between 1952 and 1957 Moon changed that DP plot line to claiming that Jesus failed because he did NOT marry!

The first DP book in Korean was published in 1957.

The ‘Mary Magdalene as the wife of Jesus’ narrative has massive implications for the entire Unification Theology that was later put together. Wolli Wonbon, long kept hidden, reveals the lie.

____________________________

Almost all the ideas in the Divine Principle came from earlier Korean fringe religious groups, many of whom practiced pikareum womb cleansing.

________________________________

Where Sun Myung Moon got his theology

Moon taught that God did NOT create the angels in pairs – meaning that God broke one of his own “creation” laws

“Do you see it? Adam and Eve were husband and wife before the Fall, not brother and sister.”

indie games ftw- heres a couple of my low end in price and power required recommendations

Mindustry is like 10 united states smackaroos and is a fantastic factory builder and tower defense (and an rts on top of that!). u can also download an older version for free to try it out, or even just hang out on the older version doing the endless mode. its only like 200mb (fairly small).

While not indie, Garry's Mod is a personal favorite of mine due to the fact is 10 bucks and because of the modding community is an endless well of content. its an old game so it should run well (provided you dont spawn a billion bouncy balls like a doofus- obviously thats gonna lag)

Forager is a little more pricy at 20 united states dolly wollys. i havent played a ton but its like a silly farming game where you buy islands and expand and meet funky little creatures.

Finally, check out game jams. Hundreds of short and sweet games that can run in your browser. Its literally free and they can't stop you. Ive played so many.

Don't despair over the state of the gaming industry! Support indie devs and play some really really cool stuff! Play old games too!

also i deeply resent the ongoing trend of video games 'luxurization'. and i am not even talking about prices. so many of them became unaccessible unless you have expensive addictional tech and even more expensive pc with 100 billion gigabytes. all of this on the background of continued worsened exploitation of workers in gaming industry. disgusting.

#tumblr was mean to me so i apologize for any formatting weirdness- garrys mod was supposed to be last but it just moved ig

opinions on the new maps?

• Previews Ranking •

Btw, here's the title of the song from Spikes' map, so

1. Sweet Melody

This map is everything - it's fierce, it's fun, it's sassy. The coach looks awesome, I love this combination of blue and yellow, the choreo is interesting, energetic and matches the song and beat well. The background is simple, but it fits perfectly - it refers to the music video and is beautiful. It also does not draw all the attention, which makes it easier to focus all your attention on the coach. So overall, I'm very excited about this map.

2. Pink Venom

The map looks great, the coaches are amazing (they're back!!) and I love their outfits. I really like the choreography, it's so satisfying to dance.

3. Lovin On Me

I'm honestly surprised how much I liked this map. I don't really like this song. The main reason why I like Moo's version is the cow. (just the cow, lmao) It makes the map look funnier! But the choreography in this version? Completely changed my thinking. I really like this choreo, it's difficult, but it also fits the song and the coach perfectly. So I'm excited!

4. Paint The Town Red

I like both versions, they really look great. At first, I wasn't a fan, mainly because the background clashed a bit with the coach in my opinion, but I got used to it. I really love coach's energy tho

5. In The Shadows

I won't lie, I find everything about this map beautiful, apart from the choreography. I love the song, I love the atmosphere of the map, the coach looks mysterious. I'm really curious about the lore behind this map and its connections to Boss Witch (+ a bit of Bloody Mary), since according to the community and its theory, this coach is the crow from the beginning of the Boss Witch map.

But the choreography is not good in my opinion, I'm sorry, but it doesn't suit the music and beat. I hope the rest of the choreography will be good. If it weren't for the fact that I really like this song, and I'm excited that it will be in the game and the map looks visually really beautiful, I would put it in last place...

6. Whenever, Wherever (Wolly's Version)

It's a sweet alternative version, I won't lie, just from the looks of it I like it a lot more than Move Your Body. The choreography is fantastic, it's cool, and it fits the song, not mind-blowing, but it's alright.

7. Chattahoochee

The country songs are really cool, and I'm glad another one is being added to the game. I put it in last place because I have the impression that the preview didn't show much

Overall - previews week - 8/10 ❤
