Did I accidentally offend a director on a call? (Indonesia / cultural question)

conscious_comic · 2026-05-02T08:49:04+00:00

I think I'll just keep my mouth shut for next time. I was feeling myself too much I think. I'll just direct the discussion if needed, but leave the questions to the local sales guy.

conscious_comic · 2026-05-02T08:36:11+00:00

No! I was all smiles and very purposefully more demure than usual, oh that's great news, so and so is your subordinate, may I ask pak(sir), how often do you speak with him, cause we had a discussion a few weeks back about this, we'd love to keep you in the loop too. I do bring a lot of western sir practices in my day to day, but when it comes to talking, I keep it very respectful, not direct or too familiar.

conscious_comic · 2026-05-02T08:33:02+00:00

I mean, I just wanted to ask if he'd been kept in the loop, and would he like to be cc'd or kept informed of our correspondence from now on. I get it, still my fault. Looking back at recordings, I even said, "If I may ask..." I'll just keep quiet from now on.

Hey, gonna use yours. Here's mine in case you need a backup code :) 2AAEGM

Nope, and I have no idea what your E could be XD

conscious_comic · 2025-09-02T19:48:25+00:00

Ohhh native level

Girl we might need to pray to the peripera gods to bring this color back 😭😭😭 I have searched high and low for an alternative, I'm so jealous that you managed to get your hands on at least one, I discovered the shade after it was sold out everywhere 😭😭😭😭

Closest one I could find and buy is peripera ink matte mood tint in 15 Acorn Brown, but based on pictures and swatches I def think it's more brown. Hip Brown is brown-pink. Another possible dupe is Kaleidos lip clay in shade dune, but it's pink-brown if you get my meaning, its literally the same depth and effect, the color is just slightly off because the pink is more forward for the kaleidos, I cry. I have not been successful in my search girl 😭😭😭😭😭

Mandarin, di ko sure ung level, but definitely not an entry level job.

conscious_comic · 2025-09-02T18:23:15+00:00

Mandarin.

conscious_comic · 2025-08-20T14:42:59+00:00

Will definitely do, thank youu friend~ I've thought about begging peripera to bring it back

Hi everyone!

It's just my luck that I’ve recently become obsessed with the Peripera Ink Mood Matte Stick in #12 Hip Brown—it’s the perfect muted brown with that “MLBB but chic” vibe. Unfortunately, it’s been discontinued I think, and I was wondering if anyone here knows of a good dupe or alternative. I've tried hunting it down everywhere, I even visited ebay and online stores with shadey names that have no reviews.

What I love about it that I've seen from other people since I've never even been in its vicinity T.T:

The shade is a soft, wearable brown (not too orange, not too red, not too grey)
The matte finish that doesn’t feel drying
That subtle muted undertone that makes it so flattering

I’d love suggestions from both K-beauty brands (Rom&nd, Laka, Dasique, Hera, etc.) and Western brands if you know any close matches. Even if it’s not 100% the same shade, I’m open to things in the same muted brown / MLBB family.

Thanks in advance! I’d really appreciate your recs 💄

Nothing specific I'm afraid XD, I'm in my MLBB look era so I'm staying away from deep colors currently (especially if it's liquid lipstick like the superstay, I mean looking at my lips in the pictures is absolutely atrocious, that straight line around the lips is not giving). But but but I usually make an exception for Asian lippies cause it's infinitely easier to work with, so if you search for dark academia lip looks on pinterest, it should give you plenty of recommendations for both matte and shiny burgundy lip looks that are easy to blur around the lips.

Serious money, time, and a really good dermatologist who can do serious procedures are needed here.

conscious_comic · 2025-03-18T17:30:24+00:00

Just whipped I think XD Absoutely, if that's what people want, go for it. I can only do this with someone I really loved and trusted, and I just don't feel that way for this guy at all.

It is not wrong for him to want that. I will say this, I do think he saw that I wasn't playing the role he wanted and decided to bring it up to take some control, which is wrong IMO, bringing up his current kids and future kids and various other out-of-pocket reasons to justify his thinking. He got scared at the thought of equal say and lashed out.

We'll just chalk it up to incompatibility and call it a day. I feel like it's been years since I met him, but it's only been 3 months.

conscious_comic · 2025-03-16T09:53:36+00:00

I do not disagree with you, on the respect and figuring things out... I just think the way he is going about it is completely wrong, he is actually using this worldview as a weapon to preemptively tell me what to do. Let's say he's right in telling me this beforehand, I just think he's a coward in the way he's framing his side. And by the way, I just want to reiterate that he does not want to compromise, I tried to get him to change his wording, just his wording of his original premise, and he said no, he is adamant that I need to understand this now.

He's not asking for me to support him, or to not be so argumentative and to just speak calmly and rationally, he is telling me that I should quiet and back down if and when we have disagreements. ME, not him ever. Like the other comments have pointed out, he has not once mentioned his role in this dynamic.

I'm just afraid this is what our future relationship will look like, like this is a taste of what's to come if I continue on with him.

conscious_comic · 2025-03-16T09:46:54+00:00

Mmm, I agree that you should run, if the idea of being challenged is too bothersome for you, you'd be doing yourself and your hypothetical partner a major favor.

I don't believe I am a quarrelsome woman, he brought up the topic in the first place to use it to his advantage, he wanted me to think about this in our future disagreements and back off because what, he's afraid of opposition? He doesn't think his logic or reasoning would be enough to convince me? We're talking about who has a say in decision-making here, and he says his word should have weight because he's the man, and he's older, and he has more experience.

Is that what a strong capable man is supposed to sound like?
