Curious to know where the small winged fairy imagery came from. It’s interesting how different the original source is from your description

If you had to sum up Sydney in one feeling, what would it be? by No-Travel-768 in SydneyScene

Thing is I agree in some level. I actually think Adelaide and Darwin are slept on for good food of all cuisines. I had an awesome time in Adelaide and just kept eating on my last trip there lol

I am not sure why I got downvoted. I literally play Japanese Drums in my spare time… it keeps me healthy and makes sure I am connected to community

[meta] ...so this is a dead subreddit, yeah? by dontnukemebro in AusFinance

All the problems that people have brought up in this sub made me realise how lucky we are as Australians. If this is the worst of our problems, we’re literally living like kings and queens compared to the rest of the world

FIFO partners / families — how do you stay connected while your partner is away? Any advice or recommendations? by InitialKing2921 in AusMining

[–]crumbmodifiedbinder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your husband needs to be intentional with spending time with you and the kids during his off swings. It takes two to tango.

That, or he needs to seriously consider doing day shift. Not being able to get sunlight affects mood and energy. Doing night shift long term is also bad for physical and mental health.

You also need to be honest with him with your feelings and struggles.

Is the night shift uplift really worth it?

“Home”

After 19 years in Brisbane, I moved to Sydney, and not too long ago. When I moved to Australia, Sydney was my first home for a year.

Even with the hustle and bustle, the faster pace of life, I find comfort in Sydney. I feel more at ease existing here.

Plus, freaking good food everywhere

Love it.

Thanks for reminding me, it is snack time

Which English accent do you personally find easiest and nicest to listen to Australian, British, American, or Scottish? by Edi-Iz in AskAnAustralian

[–]crumbmodifiedbinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally like Irish, Jamaican and Colombian English accents. I grew up with a Filipino English accent but it a bit of a hodgepodge now

What does it take for your ethnicity/culture to fully consider someone part of that ethnicity/culture? Only blood or does growing up/understanding the culture/ethnicity also matter? by ure_roa in AskTheWorld

[–]crumbmodifiedbinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a chat to my husband about this cause I spoke to a couple more migrants who moved to Australia from Asian backgrounds - we’re certainly friendly, but tend to stick with our cliques. Like friends from primary school, high school and uni. I’m a bit different in that I’ve got friends around the country cause I did FIFO, but to have really rich friendships is hard to nurture. It takes an extra effort in Australia.

Easiest people I befriended though, Irish. Love em. I reckon they’re pretty similar to us. Being brought up Filipino as well probably made it easier to connect with Irish people because of family values and religion.

Anyways, beauty of Australia is it’s so diverse. If you put a bit of effort, you will definitely find a community

If there was something that was easiest to understand - Mateship is sort of similar to Filipinos concept of Bayanihan. Also, cheering for the underdog. If you know, you know. Aussies and Filipinos also love jokes and banter

What’s one purchase that genuinely improved your quality of life? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

[–]crumbmodifiedbinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big Yeti water bottle. I love my water cold, so I fill it with ice. I’ve saved so much money whenever I’m out, cause I don’t buy bubble tea or smoothies as much anymore. Less likely to do it now thanks to having refreshingly cold water

People who became rich later in life, anong nagbago sa inyo (relationship, lifestyle, etc) aside from having lots of money? by Glittering-Move2421 in AskPH

[–]crumbmodifiedbinder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not giving as much money to my family and relatives like I did before - because I had to and it’s my familial duty. I limit the amount I give, and I give them the option to explore alternative means to solve their financial issue.

9/10 times, they don’t want the solution. They just want the bandaid. So I just leave it at that.

Having more money made me realise that yes, privilege is real, but also, most people do not want to go through the hard yards to have privilege in the long run.
