Vietnam Oatmeal

12:35 AM

2015-01-21 - 08:50 AM PST - Thuy Schmitteck sent me a Facebook message introducing herself. I'm assuming she ran into my profile and decided to write me a letter. Vietnamese were always sending me hundreds of messages a month and sometimes a day. It was crazy at times and pretty normal. This is how we first met. I started teaching her English at the sunflower cafe (Hoa Huong Duong) near the 23/9 park. She was my student for months. She didn't want to be in my photos. She asked me about Kathy Bike. We would talk about that. It said on her Facebook she got married and moved to Germany. The timestamp says 08:50 AM, I assume Facebook translates the time the messages were sent to my current timezone in America now. But I've not confirmed that assumption. If not, then it is 08:50 AM ICT. Thuy must have unfriended me maybe after 2018. Perhaps because she was married or was getting married. Not sure which year exactly these things happened assuming they happened. First met Thuy in person on or before 2015-02-05 as I asked her at that date in Messenger why she didn't want to be in my pictures and she said she only want to be in photos with friends. I guess that means I am not her friend. But we just met anyhow. She wrote she was graduating June of 2015. I wrote I was going to Cambodia on or before March 10 of 2015. We talked about Catholics. But maybe she was or is Christian. She said something like how she was Christian. But I am not totally sure. If not, then maybe she is Catholic. I asked her if her church was Catholic. She said and I quote, "No. Christian." Her church might have been Nhà Thờ Huyện Sỹ - Giáo Xứ Chợ Đũi, Catholic Church and/or this is the name of a Catholic church. I wrote that salvation comes from Christ, Ephesians 2:8-9. But she replied, "but Jesus was born by Maria. So Maria is mom's God." That is a Catholic belief. So maybe she is Catholic after all. 2015-03-20, she borrowed my notebook or book to copy things from. It was on the 19th or 20th or something like that when she borrowed it. 2015-03-30 - 08:40 PM - I wrote: "See you at 3 PM." She said yes. I wrote online and on video I was gay for April Fools Day 2015. Thuy asked about that. "Do you hate the girl? Do you hate me?" She left me the money for the classes, the tuition, in my notebook. Sneaky. I saw her 03:00 PM Monday, 2015-0408 or whichever day was Monday. Around 2015-04-15 - 12:17 AM, we started conversations about Kathy Bike. She asked me why I had a photo of me kissing Kathy. I said Kathy wanted it. I said I never liked Kathy. Thuy replied, "maybe you like me lol 😛 just kidding." Thuy continued: "she had a child with you? I read your notes. It's topic sex. why you had sex but she didn't get pregnant from you." I replied: "She wanted to help me and I wanted to save money. She said that she is sick and cannot get pregnant. Cannot have babies. Maybe the eggs and sperm dies. I do not know because she is pregnant now and i saw her about two weeks ago. She got pregnant from a man who also got another girl pregnant." My memory says Kathy's belly was big when I last saw her in person. I do not know what the truth might be. If she got pregnant then perhaps I'm infertile. That would be bad news if I wanted kids which I do. 2015-04-17 - 01:17 AM - I think I met Thuy at the sunflower cafe at this time. Thuy said she was busy with school Monday and Tuesday meaning no class those days. SHe draws. She showed me a drawing she drew around April. That same month I wrote: "i have a new student who lives in Binh Duan Province near Q.Thu Duc." I think it was a female student who would drive really far each time to practice English with me. She would drive one or two hours to see me. So I think this student saw me a few times in 2015. Probably once or twice a week or month. Probably less than ten times into like the summer and that is it. I forget exactly. She went off for Tet late April I guess. Maybe via plane. Not sure, And she wrote on 2015-04-23 at or after 11:23 AM: "don't have someone to help me massage." She would get headaches just like Jolie FYG. Thuy would teach me Vietnamese. 2015-04-26 - 09:17 AM, Thuy was in Thailand for the first time. 2015-04-29 - 08:42 AM, she visited Koh Samed island.2015-05-01 - 10:02 AM, Thuy said she would be back in Vietnam on Sunday. 2015-05-03 - 09:32 AM, she said she was back in VN and she added, "Do you miss me?" I wrote, "i think that people like German." I mentioned a girl who liked Germany to Thuy. I think I was talking about Anna Barbie. I asked, "you know Daniel, VUS teacher from USA. he does not talk to me. u have a picture with you and him. Thuy would not be in photos with me but was in photos with Daniel."

Thuy: "Long time i haven't touched in touch together. You can practice Vietnamese with me. without practice with someone. But i want you also will help me practice English without money. But i will invite free drink for you. I practice English sometimes, because i learn German. How did you think about it? we can exchange language. if you think i am like a your friend. Daniel is also my friend, but i like talking with you more than him. He said that he helps me practice without money. But i don't want disturb him. I like talking with you like a real friend. I know that but i don't care." I said no. I especially started saying no to potential job offers, students, classes, schools, centers, houses, cafes, invites, events, more often starting in 2015 in Vietnam. Thuy is kind of hot and perhaps she could have been an exception to the rule, my policy. But I decided to put my foot down and I started becoming more strict in which classes I would agree to teach and which I wouldn't as I was getting more requests than I could deliver on. I think I would see her in person a few times but not that many as I wanted her to pay and she didn't want to pay. Thuy wanted to meet me Saturday so I could help her review her school exam, lessons. So, that was on or around 2015-05-05 - 09:16 AM. 2015-05-22 - Thuy said she was helping her brother with a grand opening of a business. She asked me for a second time if I missed her. I think we met again around 2015-06-05 - 03:06 AM or at night after that. Wait. No. Tomorrow. Day after that. 7 PM ICT time at McDonald's. I said I missed her back. She said she is sad for losing weight. She showed me a video. I replied, "John Legend is exciting: romantic song." Thuy wanted to meet me Sunday after that. I said ok. 2015-06-05 - 10:18 AM PDT - I wrote to Thuy: "you are my favorite student." Thuy: "Really. I feel good when i hear it from you. I am focusing to learn German." 2015-06-18 - 09:31 AM - Thuy: "Come to My Shop. Tomorrow i will interview." I said ok. So, I think her shop was on Bui Vien. I remember going to a shop there one time. Maybe it was her shop. She said the consolate or VN immigration department afraid she won't return to Vietnam. She said Germany rejected her. Perhaps they accepted her later on. 2015-09-23 - 12:19 AM - Thuy: "Do you have free time Tomorrow evening. I have 2 friends to learn English with you. They want to register to learn Eng a with you." Lego Mark. 2015-11-03 - 10:09 PM - I wrote I was looking for a room as I was told the owners of Old Ink were moving. 2016-01-05 - 06:52 PM - Thuy: "If you have tim on April, please come to My hometown to attend My wedding party." But I was stuck at Anna Barbie. I missed out. 2016-04-18 - 08:30 AM - I wrote: "I'm at McDonald's, 2 Cong Xa Paris, near Diamond Plaza." Thuy was going to go meet me. Thuy: "Hope your everything will be ok because I think you don't have good life in Vietnam. She is not younger than you. no girl is perfect.... there will always be problems with people. you need to be serious. Some times people think you are easy going. They will cheat you. next month I come back to hcmc. I will meet you. Be strong. Think positive. if you are sad or want to talk. You can text message to me. I will listen to you."

2016-04-29 - 09:58 AM - Thuy: "Are you there. i want to talk with you. what are you doing. I am very sad about my relationship. I don't know how to solve it. I feel bored. I don't know about different thought. but sometimes I am very tired about this. Sometimes he thinks i don't care him. although I try to do that, I think I do good. I am not perfect. how can I solve it. Sometimes I try to explain for that. but he also doesn't want to trust me or listen to me. I don't know but if it happens many times. Maybe we will break. people are full of emotions. our emotions are crazy sometimes. I always try to calm down and solve it. But I think he didn't. When he dislike something about that I do. he impresses about this. Uncomfortable with me. he might be confused about how he feels. 😞. I think western men is strange. Do they easy to break each other? No. About leave each other. I feel sad. don't say sorry. Talk with you make me better. I think he is selfish. I saw his face is angry. And leave to go out side. thank Joey. I am reading your words. sometimes I feel sad and I don't know how to solve it. How should I do. I am outside now. Thank you so much, see you in hcmc." The last message Thuy sent me was on 2016-06-23 - 11:28 PM and she was trying to help me fix my passport visa problem. Her last message was, "i will ask." That was the last message she read. She is no longer my friend. Maybe she unfriended me. Thuy traveled to many countries. I cannot find photos of Thuy and her German lover. Perhaps they broke up. But it would be crazy if the guy looked just like Mango Haze. If you want to talk to me, you should be in my video on YouTube. Period. You know you want to do it. You will become famous. I am telling you this for months. It would only take five minutes. I try no to think about Joe Biden.

What if Thuy's German lover was Mango Haze?

Anna Barbie

02:23 PM - Discord

EZ asked if I still have feelings for Anna Barbie. That would imply I did. I did not. But I did have a thing for Anna's sister. EZ asked if I still have lust for Thuy Tran Bong. I liked her. But she is probably not my type. In some ways I like everybody. But Thuy caught me off guard in 2015 for some reason. In the Vietnam Oatmeal Saga there is a hall of fame of the top girls meaning girls symbolic in telling the Oatmeal story in Vietnam. I've mentioned some of them. I've yet to mention a few more. I'm going to try to present like a top ten list or top twenty or I'm not exactly sure how many. This does not necessarily mean I liked each girl. But I could make a separate list of girls I liked. But that is not the point of this list. For example, I didn't like Kathy Bike. But she is iconic in the Vietnam Oatmeal story. Same thing with Anna Barbie. I did like Thuy a bit. And Thuy is iconic as well. That would be the point of an illustrative and supplementary thumbnail list of girls. It's about telling the story through a girl-centric outline because girl power and equality and all that ducky stuff.

I think Le Duyen Tran was a student of mine from FYG or Leaf Pagoda since as early as 2013. She is mutual Facebook friends with Chinh Pham.
