Finally Summer!

Unicycling-stories (part 1)

So today I was unicycling at my local skate park and I tried some new stuff like gliding down a handrail (didn’t work out yet but I get there soon). So after some time some kids showed up, they were between 6 and 11 years old, and one of them went to me and saw that I hurt myself so he stopped me from cycling and started to ask me three times if it hurts and I told him that it didn’t but he didn’t believe me so he told me to stop unicycling and even took my uni and just went away with it and it was so cute that he cared so much and at the same time I was a bit annoyed. But it was funny to watch him take my uni because it was bigger then him. Whatever so as I already said I was too stupid to take some knee protectors so I had to learn my lesson and next time I am definitely going to take all protectors (I had a helm and elbow protectors). Oh also what was the deal with him was that he thought just because it is dangerous and there is a high chance of hurting myself I shouldn’t do it at all. And that is so wrong because just because there is a possibility by getting hurt outside of the house of even inside I don’t stay inside in one room never doing anything because it might hurt me or be dangerous. That is life. And now I am at my point: I love unicycling so fucking much because it is like life (actually even better in my opinion).

Why I would think that:

First of all when you fall down of a unicycle you get up again and you will fall down you will fall down so many countless times always but the point is to get up. Again and again and again maybe not right after you fallen of maybe sometimes you need some time and space but in the end the result is the same: you get up again. And it’s the same with life no matter how often somethings shitty happens you should get up again because the feeling of succeeding in the end of the training is the most ... actually I don’t know how to describe that, it is just like a super happy feeling inside of you and you are so proud in that moment it is just wonderful! Yeah and so it is in life if you get up again and again and solve the problem and defeat it you will get something out of it for sure.

Secondly ... I just lost my whole idea for this blog... whatever I love unicycling and I think it is just great and because none of my friends can relate to that I always stop talking about unicycles and unicycling because they would get annoyed about it. Yeah and now I find the solution through Tumblr because here I can just write about all that and even if no one is interested I still got to talk about it. Whatever so my first uni story has come to an end I will tell you more as soon as something cool happens or I just achieved an other skill on my uni (or at least at one of them XP)

Whatever I have no idea what you normally write at the end of a (long) post so here my signature:

Elise and Eryka

Elise: My boyfriend left.

Eryka: Oh.

Elise: It's good I think.

Eryka: I'm sorry. Why?

Elise: Because he knows I'm not in love with him.

(Pause, they make eye contact.

Elise: I've never really... eh... been in love befor.

(as she talks she stands up and goes near to Eryka)

Eryka: You should try it, it's nice.

Elise: No I hate it. It's like a virus.

Eryka: Well how can you know if you never you

(she comes near too)

Elise: Well because when he left he was very angry but I wasn't (pause) I wasn't thinking about him.

Eryka: What were you thinking about?

(she is silence, they make eye contact, Eryka comes even near now they stand just some centimeters away from each other)

Eryka: You can say it. (whispering)

Elise: Eh, you?! I was thinking about you it's not particularly physical or anything it's just

(Eryka touches her cheek and Elise stops abruptly)

Eryka: It's not physical? Are you quite sure about that?

(she sounds like she is going to cry)

Elise: (replies with a kiss)

going thru it, i think

I am all of the days That you choose to ignore You are all I need

(All I Need - Radiohead)

a friendly reminder that microaggressions against asians can also look like this:

pretending to gag at asian food

pretending to be weirded out by asian customs and cultures

excusing cultural appropriation (often through ignoring the stories of asians who have been mocked for wearing their ethnic dress while praising a white person for doing so)

not trying to learn how to pronounce an asian person's ethnic name correctly, or asking, "can i call you by something else?"

adopting an asian name for the ~aesthetic~

using the words "oriental" and "exotic" to describe asian people, particular asian women

ignoring the experiences and stories of south, southeast, and central asians

making sweeping assumptions about asian countries (including their political, historical and cultural landscape)

treating the entire asian community as a monolith and ignoring the fact that the experiences of asian nationals are remarkably different from the asian diaspora/migrant community

co-opting asian aesthetics into creative media without acknowledging their history

PLEASE DON’T SCROLL

even if you only reblog, that’s enough

i was debating on whether or not i should post this on tumblr but seeing as there haven’t been posts about this yet, here it is. i’m exposing my real location and nationality but it doesn’t matter.

if you have been active on twitter, you may already know #savemyanmar is trending. long story short, there has been a military coup. several nations have released statements but i want to share insight on what’s happening in the country.

memes about a coup have been circulating around for a couple days and when i slept at 2 am last night, we were still under the rule of the National League for Democracy (NLD). while they are not technically democratic, they are the closest we’ve got. when my mother woke up at 6 this morning, she was notified that the country was now under the rule of the military.

banks services are no longer available. wifi was cut at around 7-8. some people got wifi again earlier but many got it barely thirty minutes ago. this is bad for businesses especially ones that require international communications. additionally, international students like myself are experiencing anxiety; how do we pay for and attend classes if we’re not sure wifi is a given?

myanmar has a long, complicated history with military governments. the last time the military went into rule was in 1962 and only stopped in 2011, following the 2010 elections. there was a huge protest in 1988 lead by students that resulted in lots of death. during the military junta, resources like rice, water, oil, were scarce. the gist is military rule is bad for us.

all of my followers are not myanmar citizens, i’m sure but as part of the international community, please help us. here is a petition that you can sign (although i’m not sure if that can do much). there may be protests in front of myanmar embassies so look out for those. most of all, please help spread awareness. 

the people here are coping with dark humor, primarily in the form of memes but we don’t know how long this rule will last, even though the official statement said only a year. here’s something that pretty much sums up our coping mechanism:

again, even a reblog helps

guess what? There actually isn’t a size limit of what you can congratulate yourself for. We think we have to do something ‘extra impressive’ or ‘extraordinary’ before we can compliment ourselves, but that’s really not the case!

made some food? Well done, self. taken even just one bite? Excellent work. Put your dish away? Great job. Drank some water when you knew you were thirsty? I’m doing such a great job. congratulations doesn’t have a size limit! Compliment yourself all the time for the all the work you’re putting into being a human being — you deserve it!
