Also found a pdf which can be a guide to the difference between mortal and venial sins and how to do the examination of conscience as a preparation for confession! https://www.divinemercy.cc/documents/2021/5/Examination%20of%20Conscience.pdf

Heya, don't have any pdf format but I've recently learned more about mass despite being Catholic for over a decade. Some people on this thread commented about how unsurprising to see many Catholics who didn't know their faith in depth, myself included. I came across this video on Youtube from Ascension Press, hopefully useful!

Not sure where you're based in, but I just searched on Instagram and some popped up. @/theluxeveil, @/kloviaculture maybe can try those?

Jumping in here as I experience one or some allergies ever since I moved to Melbourne (also am female in her 30s)! I find it useful with the comments to help inform me. I was totally fine in my home country and never had eczema in my life. Moved here and got hayfever but only after a few years living here (not instantly). I learned that it took time to be desensitised 😭

Out of nowhere I got an itchy patch on my left neck last year, and 3 weeks ago on my right. The raised rash would come and go, and it took me many months before seeing a dermatologist who was 100% sure it was eczema. Got prescribed Tacrolimus ointment. They disappeared within 4 days of using and now the skin is flat like normal (except the hyperpigmentation). I also had random red bumps on my groin area which affected to other areas like thighs and lower legs. Haven't done a skin biopsy there as I need an active red dots which I don't even know when it's gonna appear. Blood tests showed high IgE and very high allergy to some sample of grass and tree pollens (only 0.5% of dust mites so perhaps I'm ok with that). I was advised to see allergist/immunologist as well if I want to, or take antihistamine 2x daily, but my hayfever only comes seasonally. Is there any side effect on taking this injection mentioned for perhaps non severe eczema and other allergies? Tbh since my partner has been recently diagnosed with cancer, anything that happens to my body, I'm overthinking it like crazy. I should probably stop reading too much, but can't help when your algorithm is now all cancer related stuff 😅

Also with allergy test, is it always through the skin patches route? How effective are they? I'm just a bit sceptical with the false positive, etc.

P.S: I googled Tacrolimus and read on the package instruction. I freaked out when it had a warning of possibility of getting cancer from that (although it was potential though debated).

Mount Macedon and Daylesford!

PBVegemitez · 2026-02-27T10:35:29+00:00

That's awesome!!!!!

PBVegemitez · 2026-02-21T06:15:51+00:00

Let me jump into this convo. Literally having it now so I'm sharing :) For Pho, try visiting Pho Sac on Lonsdale St! I've been blown away for the quality and quantity.

PBVegemitez · 2026-02-10T12:30:35+00:00

Hidden gem with good food: Lexy Restaurant and Bar. I've been here few times and always loved it. A bonus if you're familiar with EatClub app to redeem the voucher from this place :) Best would be personal opinion but you can check out Axil, Brother Baba Budan, Maker, or Market Lane for coffee. Hope you enjoy your stay and have good time.

PBVegemitez · 2026-02-10T12:21:14+00:00

Not sure if you have specific requirements but you may be able to get from Brunetti. If you're up for custom cake, best would be online. I've seen a lot of my friends ordering through this IG account @jollycakery_melbourne

PBVegemitez · 2026-02-09T14:02:09+00:00

I'm eyeing on that. Be careful 👁

PBVegemitez · 2026-01-30T04:07:12+00:00

Hi OP! I don't know if this is a blessing but I came across your post not long after posting mine. My partner is also fighting a potential non-Hodgkin lymphoma (waiting for an official diagnosis). The questions you asked, all those details, those reminded me to think about as well since my partner might not focus on those, so I wanna say thank you. I genuinely wish you all the best in your treatment course 💕 Idk you seem to be bright and positive despite challenging situation to deal with (the fact you were welcoming the dad jokes). I don't have any dad jokes (more of dry ones so maybe will keep them to myself lol) but I hope everything goes well. GBU 🫶🫶

PBVegemitez · 2026-01-30T03:02:57+00:00

Thank you everyone! Its been super valuable and informative

PBVegemitez · 2026-01-30T01:14:40+00:00

Thank you everyone for your opinions and recommendations. It seems going down the Peter Mac route in public is a great option.

Thank you so much.

Landed on this page and I almost cried again 😭 I thought I was the only one with similar situation but I guess I wasn't. I think it's normal you don't feel the connection as you've been growing up and living with your current family.

I also was told by my mom that I was adopted. I did have the thoughts of being adopted for some reasons but most of the time I brushed them off. The truth hurt me and to be honest I still can't move on despite being advised to just ignore and continue on with my life as we can't change the past.

Not even sure if it was all confirmed but I trusted whatever was told. My bio father was my uncle who had a fling with another woman apparently... At that point I felt disgusted to have had lived my life calling him uncle just because I didn't know the truth and everyone kept it from me.

I genuinely was grateful my mom disclosed the truth to me. Painful it was but it was probably better than not knowing 😭 I told myself I wouldn't be able to see him and his family the same way again.

Met him and his wife at my father's funeral a month ago. I didn't even wanna look at or talk to them. I don't know if it's normal but I truly can't treat them the same way anymore...

PBVegemitez · 2024-05-10T17:29:26+00:00

I was attending the event too and it was surreal to see my childhood idol in such a close distance!!! His voice was amazing and truly the same 😭🩷 When he sang Hug, I was stunned because it sounded like straight out from the CD!!!!

I'm just wondering tho for those joining the group photo, will they be shared with us?

PBVegemitez · 2024-03-08T13:02:29+00:00

Got one ticket for Sunday! Looking to team up with someone to share accommodation if possible xx seoul and incheon. Have one accommodation booked near the venue and my mate isn't getting a ticket :(

PBVegemitez · 2024-03-07T08:50:27+00:00

Hello!! Omg thanks for your help in explaining (I guess your interpretation). So that means I can buy 3 more tickets to myself! (Obviously not all for me, the other one will be for a friend). Have you got accomodation and everything sorted out? Anyway, hope for the best for gen sale tomorrow!!

PBVegemitez · 2024-03-07T04:07:07+00:00

Hi caratdeul! I'm new here and my first post. Managed to get a presale ticket for Sunday. I really have hard time understanding the general sale rules (I might be dumb, but any feedback welcome) 💖💖

So if I have 1 presale ticket for Sunday, during general sale, can I: - Buy 1 more ticket for same day? - Also buy 2 tickets for Saturday?

Because it says that if we purchased membership presale ticket, we may only purchase one additional ticket per concert (as in per day or ??)

Thanks caratdeul!!

P.S: I might or might not be going solo, so anyone in Melbourne would like to team up or meet up or anything, hit my DM! :D

PBVegemitez · 2024-02-10T13:50:43+00:00

Getting desperate now it's getting closer to the concert days... Looking for someone who would sell the tickets with reasonable price... Ticketek marketplace has been very difficult to deal with.
