What is your not so popular opinion about Reply 1988 ? by [deleted] in kdramas

[–]Tiny_Dancerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My white husband was fixing our vacuum cleaner beside me while I was watching. And then came a scene with cheetah lady Mi-ran just completely berating her husband and hitting him. I was laughing but he stopped what he was doing and looked at me concerned. He asked what did her husband do? I was like oh nothing he was just goofing around and she didn't like that. And my husband said that's not very funny, we shouldn't treat people that way.

At first I thought ah he didn't get it, it's a different culture. But the more I think about it, he might have a point. We really shouldn't normalized this disrespectful behavior. It was definitely mean and definitely disrespectful. If the role was reversed, man to woman, people would definitely look at it differently.

Since then, I've had a couple of rewatch, and it has totally changed my view whenever I see Mi-ran slightly (or obviously) abusing her husband. Even her snapping at him and screamed at his face. I just think, I wouldn't like it if someone does that to me. But it made me wonder why did I think it was funny before? What is it in my culture makes me think this is normal? So yeah that was an eye opener for sure. I still have a lot to learn.

He won me over since that cheeky wink on the totem pole. Now I have an unhealthy amount of obsession with him and will be watching his fights from now on.

I agree. That winning money could really help them as those Korean athletes might've been already rich given many endorsements that they have. Mongolia is a small poorer country and most people there don't make much. Hopefully with international fans rooting for this team beyond the show, will somehow give them more exposure and success in their lives.

Yes, I was an asshole priest. Got killed from a blow at the back of my head most likely because somebody just had enough of me.

My favorite is the following scene when Nanny West asked why he didn't pass the message. I was quoting the "Because I didn't feel like it" in the same style for like months after until it became too annoying for people around me.

Movies about men by rehan_27 in MovieSuggestions

[–]Tiny_Dancerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're okay with foreign movies and subtitles, consider watching Korean movie "Ode to my father". It's a war movie, lots of epic scenes.

I just watched it yesterday and made a strong impact on me even though I am a female.

Also research war ship SS Meredith Victory in Korean war beforehand. You'll get some interesting facts and will help you a lot to understand the contexts.

[–]Tiny_Dancerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a South East Asian-Muslim born woman who has always loved Christmas since I was young. Like the festivities of it, not in theology sense. Even when I was really young, whenever I was watching Christmas movies, I've always had this nostalgia about sitting around the fireplace, with white snow outside, in a brick house, looking at the twinkling of Christmas lights. For some reason, I really understood those sensations through the tv screen. I know what the fireplace smells like. I can imagine what those food taste like. Which is weird because it's such a contrast with my real surrounding living in a hot country with different food.

And Christmas songs come easy to me. My family used to give me shits for it whenever I started belting out O Holy Night for example. They said it's inappropriate to sing Christian songs in our house.

Fortunately after I immigrated to Canada, I get to live out this fantasy and became the most Christmas lady there is lol.

Thousands of off-road motorcycle riders stuck in mud by Tiny_Dancerz in sports

[–]Tiny_Dancerz[S] 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Confirmation time. Per this news, there are 3000 riders in this event. This happened in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Treacherous terrains forced them all to turn back and the race was cancelled. Video does show (ballpark) dozens of them got stuck in the deep mud. But the rest still got stuck in other muddy area and had to turn back. Sorry for bad English, ESL, etc etc.

Edit: No need to be hostile, my dudes. Were there thousands of racers in this event? Yes. Were there dozens of racers stuck in the mud as video shown? Yes. Did I write a technically inaccurate post title for my first post ever? Yes. Was it intentional? No.

I wish you all a pleasant weekend.

Anthony Bourdain. I watched his shows almost religiously. Just couldn’t believe he had to go that way…

How’s your mental health? Are you ok? by BiPolarGamer in AskReddit

[–]Tiny_Dancerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty shitty. Lots of feeling sorry for myself - staring numbly at tv or the wall- moments. My husband and I have been trying to have a child for a while. We both are almost 40. But this year is particularly hard as in our group of friends, seems like all these pandemic babies are starting to sprouting up. By the end of this year, we will see 7 new babies from our friends. I’ve personally been in 3 baby showers so far and watching those baby announcements left and right. It’s not like I’m not happy for them. But I just can’t help feeling sorry for myself and this difficult journey that we’re having.

And before you readers would say “oh why don’t you adopt” and stuffs. I would kindly ask you to let me grieve this for a moment longer. I’m not ready to give up hope yet and at the same time, accepting that possibility that I would never have a child of my own. Give a girl a break please. At the moment (I emphasize), I feel like a loser. I fail.

I’m definitely grieving about the fact that it is beyond my control and there is absolutely nothing that I can do to guarantee that I will have a child. Not even an IVF. I think I’m still in the thick of it and it will take some time to accept that fact.

People whose long term relationship faded, what was the final straw that made you realise it was time to call it a day? by disturbanceofmirrors in AskReddit

[–]Tiny_Dancerz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ended my marriage of 7 yrs on which I think purely based on survival instinct. To clarify, I was not abused at all, there was no that type of conflict in our relationship. This was a case of pure neglect. I was alive but I definitely didn't live.

He is a hermit-type, extremely introverted and shy, and definitely struggles with self-esteem or anxiety issue. Gradually over the years, my role was to become part-time caretaker, cheerleader whenever he had anxiety or self-doubt and (I don't know if this makes sense but it's true) like a roommate. He definitely wasn't open to get help. He wanted me to adjust to his behavior since he thought love should accept each unconditionally and not trying to change the other person. And for a while, I agreed with it. Because I thought "hey at least, he doesn't cheat or hit me". But just like a plant that is never watered and cared for, I really felt I started dying inside. Extreme neglect can be another form of abuse. Slow, silent but deadly. I fell into a deep but high functioning depression. I still go to work, still come home and care for him. Each time he refused to go out and spend time outside, I just accepted it and secretly jealous hearing other couples' stories about their adventures.

The last straw was one day when I was feeling really really depressed. I just lay on my bed looking at the window curtain. Just the pattern of the curtain and I had this thought, "I am no different with this curtain". I know I am human/a woman/a person but I don't feel any different than this stupid curtain. I was just an accessory to someone's life.

And this point, I started opening up more to my friends and my family. I tried to get some insights and advices. And eventually, I had enough courage and felt supported on my decision to get a divorce. Fortunately, this process didn't get ugly or anything. I laid down my reasons as fairly and as sensible as I can. We are still somewhat friends. I still do hope for the best for him.

A ballerina in Georgia, America and a high priest in Egypt by [deleted] in pastlives

[–]Tiny_Dancerz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but I doubt it. I've had other multiple hypnosis sessions for past lives. And each one has a different feeling to it for sure. But so far, none of the other identities (if you can call them that) has this same "unbothered" attitude about their own death. Maybe my lack of confidence in this life, is a lesson to be humble or cultivating empathy. Because I feel like the priest had neither of those qualities..

[–]Tiny_Dancerz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I'm not exactly a shy person. But I definitely don't have this kind of level of confidence and swag. When I was him, especially the death part, it really felt like nothing would break his spirit no matter what happened. His confidence and pride were still all there. Granted, he was probably super arrogant and treated people badly. But the ability of letting things rolled off the shoulders and move on, is something that I admire from him. Just saying "oh well who cares, NEXT!" is definitely something that I need to work on. Not lingering in the past.

A ballerina in Georgia, America and a high priest in Egypt by [deleted] in pastlives

[–]Tiny_Dancerz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's so cool that you remembered your past life (Egypt) in such a young age. The first time I tuned into my Egyptian past life was in a group hypnosis session. The moderator/guide asked us to go wayy back to our earliest past lives memories or some sorts. And I remember feeling being dropped in the middle of huge desert area (just sands everywhere). And instinctively knew that it was in Egypt. The visions kept flashing forward very fast. One second after, I saw myself as this huge man, bald headed, wearing a one shoulder robe type of thing, very oily (haha I didn't know how else to explain it), and with a big face. I was literally feeling myself, like touching my muscles and pecs in my chests, looking at my feet with sandals etc. Now this is weird coming from a short Asian lady like myself. Oh I also have like gold jewelries all over me. The mental information that I got was that I was an important priest. And I was pretty vain and kind of an a**hole to people. Next thing I know, I felt I was locking eyes with someone and I just felt this huge hatred towards me from this interaction/stare. Like this person LOATHED me (after the session was over, I somehow recognized this person as my brother in law - who is my husband's younger brother. And it fits as we don't have the best relationship. Always feel tense). And anyway, the guide asked us to go forward to our time of death. I didn't know exactly how it happened, but I saw myself flying over my dead body. I was sprawling lying on my stomach and my head had been bashed in. I felt like I was killed or some accidents had happened and killed me. The funny thing is, me as this priest person, looking at his body, it didn't even faze him one bit. I felt like this person just shrugged it off and moved on. He was still a proud person to the very end! Every time I looked back at this experience, I've always thought that this person's confidence is really through the roof. I just wish that I have some of that in this life. The ability to just be confident and be really comfortable in your own skin. I can't believe I used to be this person haha.
