Defending her and black women isn’t enough. I need a weapon and cyber bullies
Drake Facing Backlash Over ‘Circo Loco’ Lyrics Allegedly About Megan Thee Stallion
Tumblr media

Megan Thee Stallion responded to Drake’s lyrics on he and 21 Savage’s song “Circo Loco” where he apparently is throwing some jabs at her. On the song, which appears on their new album Her Loss, Drake raps: “This b**** lie ’bout getting shots, but she still a stallion/She don’t even get the joke, but she still smiling.” Later in the song he said: “Shorty say she graduated, she ain’t learn enough/Play your album, track onе, ‘kay, I heard enough.
It’s being speculated that the 6 God is referring to the “Her” rapper’s allegations that Tory Lanez shot her in her foot in July 2020. Since she graduated from Texas Southern Universitywith a bachelor’s degree in health administration and recently released her album Traumanize, it seems like he is coming for the Houston hottie.
Once she saw all the chatter going on, Megan thee Stallion spoke out via Twitter. It seems like she first didn’t believe claims that Drizzy was dissing her.
I know I’m very popular but y’all gotta stop attaching weak a** conspiracy theories in bars to my name lol N***** nor hoes EVER address me or @ me WITH a fact or receipts. I AM CLOUT B**** keep sucking my p****
The Grammy-winning rapper then had choice words for those using her situation for attention and not being sensitive to it. She also told naysayers not to change their tune when facts begin to surface. She and Lanez go to trial in December.
Stop using my shooting for clout b**** a** N*****!. Since when tf is it cool to joke abt women getting shot ! You n***** especially RAP N***** ARE LAME! Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dog pile on a black woman when she say one of y’all homeboys abused her.” And when the mf facts come out remember all y’all hoe a** favorite rappers that stood behind a N**** that SHOT A FEMALE. People attack me y’all go up for it , i defend myself now I’m doing too much … every time it never ends and this did NOT happen until I came out and said I got shot … y’all don’t fwm okay cool f*** it bye.

Drake Is Facing Backlash Over These ‘Circo Loco’ Lyrics
Drake hasn’t confirmed or denied these claims but the people aren’t feeling those lyrics either way.
“Started listening to Drake’s album. Was 3 tracks in when I read about the Megan Thee Stallion reference on Twitter. I won’t be finishing the album,” Marc Lamont Hill tweeted. “And please don’t tell me it’s just wordplay… or that it went over my head. I’m very smart. I got it. Doesn’t make it less gross.”
There were also claims that Drizzy was jealous of thee Stallion, leading to him dissing her.
“Drake is clearly jealous of Megan thee Stallion. She’s hot, tall, naturally built in an athletic/built way,” someone else tweeted. “She’s a wordsmith. She also has the love of women. She’s literally everything that Drakecan’t have. He’s pressed and it’s pathetic. He can’t be THE hottie.”
Someone else called out how people are calling for violence against rappers to stop yet it’s allowed against Megan.
“Drake dissing Megan Thee Stallion is abusive,” the tweet read. “People joking abouther allegedly being shot by a rapper is also violent & hypocritical; weren’t y’all just denouncing senseless violence in the industry, regarding Takeoff’s passing? Mentally, I hope Meg feels loved & protected.”
If Drake is truly dissing her, he’s 100% out of line.  What can you possibly gain from being so callous against her? Especially knowing that she has been the target of criticism for coming forward about the alleged shooting. It’s one thing if you don’t like her as a rapper, but to casually joke about her trauma is heartless and an extremely low blow.

wonwoo + childhood friends to lovers?? maybe some jealousy involved on woos side eliciting a confession?❤️❤️
home | j. ww.
pairing: wonwoo x g.n. oc genre: fluff warnings: none (please tell me if i missed anything!) word count: 1.3k
💌: thank you for requesting dear anon! i hope you really like this :’) so much wonwoo content if you haven’t noticed by now and i’m living for it! thank you again! please do tell me what you think <3
Wonwoo thinks of himself as a coward for not swallowing his pride and reservations in telling you the truth. The truth about how much he is so in love with you,  it’s making it difficult for him to physically breathe. He hasn’t planned on confessing yet, but as the days go by, he thinks he’s running out of time. And even though he still sees you every day and you still keep him around, it's not enough. It’s not enough that he’s not holding your hands like he wants to or kissing you senseless like he wishes to. 
It’s not enough that he can’t love you more than just a friend. 
 “Wonwoo?”
You have been trying to get the boy’s attention for the past minute because it’s starting to concern you how much he’s spaced out. You have already tapped his shoulder, poked his cheek and even tickled his side. But to no avail, he was just staring at his book and sighing defeatedly. 
“Wonwoo?” You shake him again and finally, he looks at you. 
“Oh?” Wonwoo leans close and gives his glasses clad eyes to you. “What’s wrong?”
You sadly smile, bringing a hand up to fix his fringe. “Don’t you think I should be asking you that? You’ve been distracted ever since we got here.”
You and Wonwoo never created a schedule to study together, but by some unknown force, you always gravitated towards each other. It usually just takes one text message or one call and you’d be meeting at the university’s library in no time. Maybe, it’s a thing to be in sync with your childhood friend. You’re not sure, but you’re not ruling out the possibility. 
You and Wonwoo became friends when you just turned six years old and he was already nine. The two of you are next door neighbors, even up to now. Both of your parents became friends in an instant, automatically drawing you close to the shy boy with ease. He was timid and reluctant at first, but eventually he warmed up to you. 
The two of you were at each other’s side growing up. Attended the same school and always hang out afterwards despite the fact that he’s ahead of you. Went to the same playground. Ate at the local street food stands. Played at the only arcade established in the neighborhood. All of those done, together. 
It’s not that difficult to keep communication lines open and connection intact most especially when your bedroom windows are both adjacent. It’s a little bit unbelievable, but you and Wonwoo saw the different phases of your lives through those windows. You saw him escape through that window to play computer games with Woozi once. On the other hand, he saw you through that window dancing to one of your favorite songs. No hints of embarrassment. You even developed a code where there’s a number of knocks on the glass that will indicate your identities. You can enter at the main entrance of course, but this is special between the two of you. 
Well puberty was a different chapter and the two of you may or may not have distanced for quite a while. But, your friendship triumphed over the trials. 
Several people have asked if you have feelings for your friend. And several times, you denied. Likewise, Wonwoo has had his fair share of nosy people. It’s a conversation that you two have already talked about a year into college. The two of you were awfully awkward in denying, but shrugged it off nevertheless. By far, no one has asked again ever since. 
It didn’t affect your friendship, but a shift definitely happened. Like, the two of you became hyper aware of each other’s presence and actions. Casual gestures became lingering touches. Casual nicknames became specially endearing (that no one else is allowed to say them).
You could say this friendship also became something more as well.
Wonwoo’s heart skipped a beat at the warm sensation of your hand. He plays it cool and scratches the back of his neck, a habit he does when he becomes nervous.
You take notice of that, making you conclude that there’s really something wrong.  “Is there something that’s bothering you?”
Your friend sighs for the nth time and slumps on the open books he has failed to study. Wonwoo’s afraid to ask and he doesn’t even know if he really should. But, he has to get this out of his chest one way or another. “Are you really going on that study date with Jeonghan?”
Suddenly? You frown, confused as to where this is coming from. 
You answer him nonetheless. “Yes. You know I can’t fail this class, right? Jeonghan seemed to be the ace and he’s willing to teach me for free.”
“I can tutor you too, you know?” Wonwoo’s pouting now.
You grin and lean your arms on your notes, mirroring his position. You teasingly narrow your eyes at him and he looks away, annoyed at your antics. “But you don’t have this class in your program, remember?”
“And so?” Wonwoo asks, eyes boring back to you at lightning speed. “Doesn’t mean I don’t have good knowledge about the subject.”
You smirk. Yes, Wonwoo is a coward, but you’re confident. You’re confident with how you have found the only person you’re still friends with since childhood. You’re confident with how you found the only person to teach you how to ride a bike and play computer games. You’re confident with how you found the only person you want to grow old with.
And, you’re confident with how you found Jeon Wonwoo as the only person’s initials you would allow to be at home inside your heart. 
“I smell jealousy,” you state the obvious for him. “Can you confirm that for me, Mr. Jeon?”
Wonwoo was a coward. But not this time anymore. 
Your eyes widen when he suddenly stands up, chair scraping against the wooden floor. What he does next almost made you topple over, but your tight grip on the table kept you grounded. Wonwoo gently holds your chin between his fingers and softly presses his lips against yours. 
Wonwoo is kissing you.
Suddenly, you’re not so confident anymore. Your breath hitches for a short second, but you relax immediately after. You close your eyes and eagerly return his kiss. 
“Uh, guys?”
Wonwoo immediately pulls away and stands straight while you cast your eyes down and pretend to read your notes. Idiot, you scold yourself. There’s nothing wrong with what you just did. Why are we acting like we just committed a crime?
Just like that, the magical moment bursted like a bubble due to Jeonghan's appearance. 
Jeonghan clears his throat and looks between the two of you, back and forth. “You can continue, you know? I'll come back when Y/N’s ready.”
“No!” You and Wonwoo shout in unison and everyone in the library is hissing and shushing. 
“Woah.” Jeonghan raises his hands. “No need to be angry.”
“No, I mean,” you stutter, finding the right words to say before holding the hand of the man who just kissed you. “Wonwoo will tutor me instead.”
Wonwoo blinks in surprise, but gets the message and holds your hand back tightly. “Yeah. I’m- I’ll handle it from here.”
“You know you can just tell me that you have a date, right? Why are you two acting like I don’t know what relationships are,” Jeonghan complains with a roll of his eyes before turning around and walking away. 
You and Wonwoo release a breath of relief, eyes meeting. You couldn’t hold your giggle meanwhile he couldn’t hide the growing smile on his face. You bite your lip and gaze up at him. He fondly caresses the back of your hand and tilts his head, a gesture you clearly know the meaning of.
“How about we do go on that date Jeonghan’s talking about?”
Your face warms, in love. “I’d love to.”

The Best of 2020
Tumblr media
Better late, than never. I enjoy seeing other people’s top-10 lists and I said I’d do one for 2020, so here we go. I haven’t had the chance to watch EVERYTHING I wanted to, but you’ve got to pull the trigger at some point. When the Academy Awards took place on Sunday, I felt like I hadn’t seen ANYTHING nominated but I could remember dozens of times where I felt like I wasted my precious minutes with cinematic detritus. I assumed putting this list together would be easy. It wasn’t. I’ve got a lot of runner ups but for now, here are my Top 10 “Best” (by which I kind of mean my favorite) movies of 2020:
10. Never Rarely Sometimes Always
Never Rarely Sometimes Always gave me a lot to think about. On the surface, it's about a teenager who has to travel outside of her hometown to get an abortion, but it could've been any kind of procedure she's uncomfortable (or unable) asking her parents for. It's about the lengths she has to go to when her main source of support is cut off. You feel uneasy throughout, wondering what lengths the girls will have to resort through and whether something horrible is just around the corner. For this reason, I think many parents would find the film enriching.
9. Mank
I haven’t posted my review of Mank yet - just haven't had the time so consider my star rating for it "spoiled". If you don't know, it's about Herman J. Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman) and the time he wrote Citizen Kane for Orson Welles. I can’t call Citizen Kane one of my favorite films, but I do often think of it. The story, the characters, specific shots, the overall look, etc. Every time I revisit it in my memory, my appreciation for it grows and in a way, Mank helps complete my relationship with the film. For that reason, I foresee myself revisiting Mank in the future - probably as part of a double-bill. I’d love to see it enough times to memorize some of Gary Oldman’s best lines.
8. One Night in Miami
One Night in Miami addresses the present while being set in the past but something about it clicked with me more than Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. It's essentially a series of long conversations, the kinds that force you to really examine tough questions and see these legendary figures as normal people. Unlike Mank, it isn't so much the individual lines that stand out, it's more the vibes you get from the exchanges. Out of all the movies on this list, it's probably got the best ensemble cast.
7. Sound of Metal
I'm sure you've seen that clip from Un Chien Andalou where an eye gets sliced with a razor? It gives me the willies just thinking about it because if I were blind I wouldn't be able to watch movies or draw. In Sound of Metal, we're dealing with a career cut short because of deafness but the dots are easy to connect.  I immediately connected with this movie, which made its ending feel like a punch in the gut.
6. Tenet
I keep telling myself that I won’t love a movie Christopher Nolan directs just because his name is attached to it. Hopefully, this doesn't make me a fanboy, despite my falling for pretty much everything he's released. I love how ambitious Tenet is. The plot is so complicated but then again it isn't because once you're able to grok the mechanics of its reverse-entropy technology, you'll probably figure out most of the plot's mysteries. For me, that was the fun part. It felt good to see my understanding of the story and theories confirmed. I'll be watching it again once groups can gather so my friends and I can discuss everything in detail.
5. Trial of the Chicago Seven
I know The Trial of the Chicago Seven fudges history in ways certain people would say is irredeemable but I never go into a film “based on true events” assuming liberties won’t be taken. At the end of the day, I care about being entertained. My enjoyment was also amplified by the fact that I didn't know what the verdicts would be - my American history is spotty, at best. It's got laughs, outrage, drama, and inspirational moments. Aside from romance, you've got pretty much all the bases covered.
4. Palm Springs
Out of all the pleasant surprises of 2020, Palm Springs was the biggest. I thought the Groundhog Day thing was played out and the 0-star-worthy Love Wedding Repeat did nothing to convince me otherwise. Then, this movie comes along and does everything you want in one of those movies, and then some. Not only did Palm Springs give me the romantic comedy I'd been craving for (feels like we haven't gotten a good one since "Crazy Rich Asians" it also examines what love and relationships mean through smartly written metaphors.
3. Possessor
No, I didn’t put this movie on the list just because it’s Canadian; Possessor is on this list because it’s the most unsettling movie of 2020. I mean that in a good way. I've already talked about how unsettling the premise is but it's also the execution. Those bizarre “dream” scenes with the different identities merging in unnatural ways is unforgettable. That mask of Tasya's face, half-melted is already creepy enough, when worn by Christopher Abbott as he re-enacts her memories is just so weird it makes you wonder if you’re actually seeing what you’re seeing, or if you’re going mad. Then, there's that shot with the fingers at the end! Makes me wince just thinking about it.
2. Soul
During the Oscars, I get a little mad at Pixar. They effortlessly churn out these masterpieces that mean no other studio has a chance of winning an Academy Award for the Best Animated Film category. It makes me wonder if the voters even bother to watch the competition but I don't think anyone could argue against Soul. It's among their best films. It’s gorgeous, profound, and modern without showcasing any issues that might flush your day down the toilet.
Runner-Ups:
Enola Holmes
I never believed Enola Holmes would end up on my "Best of the Year" list but this movie is a lot of fun. If you haven't seen it yet, you should. Just wanted to remind you.
Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) I was disappointed when audiences didn’t seem interested in Birds of Prey. Seeing Margot Robbie go all-out and given a script that actually makes good use of her character was lots of fun. I also found it refreshing to see a superhero movie (not really, but kind of) that didn’t involve a plot to destroy the world, upheaval all of civilization, or shoot a giant beam into the sky. I think this is one people will discover down the line and go “why didn’t I go see this in theaters when it was playing?”
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm I’m not 100% in love with Borat 2 but boy am I looking forward to showing it to people who have no idea what’s coming. That scene with Rudy Guliani might not have the same impact down the line as it did when I first saw this sequel, but that’s ok. It’ll still have you picking your jaw off the floor.
Nomadland It’s a great movie and I might’ve put it on my list of the best… but I just don’t see myself watching this one again anytime soon. Great movie though. It deserves every accolade you see directed towards it. Chloé Zhao is shaping up to be a major talent. While before I might’ve said “Eternals who?” Now, I’m excited.
The Vast of Night Until I saw Possessor, this was my favorite horror film of 2020. I love the way this movie does so much without showing anything. It’s all about letting your imagination do the work.
Hamilton I’m still unsure how I feel about the casting in Hamilton. Everyone does a terrific job. I understand why actors of color were chosen to portray the historical figures we meet during this story. It still doesn't sit 100% comfortable with me. Then again, who can argue with those results? I’ve seen the movie twice and the songs are still playing in my head.
1. Promising Young Woman
I only had so much before this post went up. Enough for one more movie. It was a tossup between The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, and Promising Young Woman. As you can imagine, I’m pretty satisfied with the choice I made. Writer/director Emerald Fennell takes the rape-revenge genre and reshapes it into something that feels completely new. Like many of the other films on this list, it also feels relevant to what’s going on today. There are many reasons why I could’ve given it this slot. The writing, the performances, the way it puts your stomach in knots as you wonder what’s going to happen next, the pitch-perfect ending… but I’m going to pick a more personal reason. I try to look at films as snapshots of when they were made. There’s a part of me that winces when I look at Gone with the Wind but I’m also able to take a step back and say “but other than that…” and then just enjoy the movie. In Promising Young Woman, the past is confronted in a way that made me pause and think about two movies on my shelf: Wedding Crashers and American Pie. The Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson comedy, in particular, has a lot of questionable bits of comedy, bits made even more eyebrow-raising by the fact that it isn't an "old" movie whose entire cast is now dead. Let’s just say that when a movie makes me go “This movie is replacing X”, makes me think this hard about things, and does everything else you want in a thriller… it’ll stick in your head for a long time. That's why I'm calling it the best/my favorite movie of the year.

Chad Chronicles is on hold while we work from home.
I'll keep updating this post if anything does happen to us.
Basically, I was telling Jacqui how J*ck told me I should join Tinder, use it during work to find out of he is there and if we would match. But Jacqui was like "what if you don't see him there but his friends see you??" So I was like "Then good na he's not on it 😂 as if he's ever talked about me to his friends 😂"
Then, nearly an hour later, I looked at my "Friends You May Know" on FB (there's a rumor that that is a list of people who's viewed your profile) then I saw that one of his friends are on it!!! I was shook, if the algorithm theory is right, then his friend was stalking me which means he has talked about me to his friends. LOL AYAN NANAMAN OVERTHINKING BES EH 😂
Then Jacqui told me how she asked her bf: if you offer a lift to a girl, does that mean he's interested? Her bf said yes but I shouldn't overthink and wait for another big sign.
Anyways, my Mandalorian plan is still going ahead. 😂
20/3/2020
Well, we didn't really talk online, he welcomed one of the guy on our team because he just got his access sorted today but I did not get the same treatment yesterday 😭
It's G tho 😂 Seems like he really is super smart because I looked into one of his chats and he used the word "futile". I'm just....wow big word 😂
Lol anyways, we're out for the weekend, Disney+ comes out on Tuesday, will try to binge it as soon I can so I can message him by Thursday or something 😂 really hope our conversation can flow naturally. Like I will just say "oh I've finished it and I am now obsessed with Baby Yoda or I can see why you are obsessed with Baby Yoda, he is adorable!" Then hopefully he can be like "What did you think of it?" Etc etc and we live happily ever after. CHOS.
.
21/03/2020
Swear everyone is telling me to either text him or to keep my feet on the ground and let the connection grow.
I REALLY DO NOT KNOW. He keeps doing all these things to me and I am always overthinking it. My friends have told me not to but it is sooo hard. They told me to wait for other signs.
I really want to take a risk and tell him but I really do not want to ruin our new found friendship. I mean I really hope he's just waiting to make more signs because he doesn't think it's time yet or something but I just don't want to give give give and not have anything in return. Haaaay Lord, please help me!
.
22/03/2020
This morning, I told my mom about the fact that he drove me home. At first, I couldn't tell her immediately, I was just staring at her the whole time and she asked "Anong kailangan mo sakin?" I said "nothing." "Bakit naka tingin ka sakin?" Then finally, I said, "Wala lang, may update lang ako sayo." Then she was like "ano may date ka???" I replied, "No update!!! Hinatid nya ako kila tita nung last time kaming pumasok.." and she was just like "ayie, hinahatid ka na ha." Then she told me, "yan dapat, cool ka lang. Pero tapusin mo muna.." She didn't complete her sentence but I knew she was talking about my FE1s but then she was probably thinking that I am nearly 25 and she should let me be. Hahaha. Then she asks "nag offer ba xa?" Sabi ko oo 😂
Then she asks me if he texts me and I told her no, we only talk in work. Then she replied, "ganun talaga" 😂 hay mother, if she had asked more details, I would have told her how I am getting mixed signals from him kaya di ko tlga sure kung gusto nya din ako 😂 but she didn't, so let's leave that for another time. 😂
Lord, pleaseee I trust you. If he doesn't reach out to me, ako na tlga mag rereach out. Need to binge The Mandalorian asap.
.
23/03
He keeps reading my messages on our GC immediately but does not with other people
ANO BA GUSTO MO PARAMDAM KA NAMAN PLS
Happened again at 16;09 ANO BA HUHU
.
24/03
STOP SEEN ZONING MY MESSAGES AS SOON AS I POST THEM AND START TALKING TO ME
.
25/03
No sign of Chad life anywhere, he was pretty much quiet today, not reading/replying to messages etc
.
26/03
I FINISHED THE MANDALORIAN YOU GUYS.
I took a risk and messaged him. It took me a whileeeeee but I just took the plunge.
Basically, I asked him how he was and how working from home has been coming along. It took him like 6 mins to reply, which was fine, we were in work so understandable.
He told me he is relaxed but about to get boring. He asked me ‘how about you?’ So I sent him this quite long response how I’ve been relaxed working in my jammies and binged watch Mandalorian, bummed about 2 eps so illegally streamed the rest. Told him that I am now also obsessed with Baby Yoda (he laughed react to this). Then he said how it was dumb for Disney not to release everything at once. (Was upset he didnt ask me what I thought of the show)
Then I told him if Netflix can do it, so can they. But he said people would just sign up for trial, watch it then cancel. Thennnn he asked if I liked it. I said yes except for Ch.6′s characters. He said he thinks you were not meant to like them.
Then I asked him if he thinks Fennec Shand is still alive. He was like which one was HE again? So I told him correction she* (laugh emoji) then explained her character. He was like ‘Oh yeaaahhh. Then boba fett was supposedly the one who found her” I replied ‘yup that’s the theory but I feel like she was pretty much lifeless already and maybe just a teaser for boba fett then?'
Then nearly 3 hours later, I go check our workplace chat and he seenzoned me. Okur. He read the message at 20.27. He better reply tomorrow or I’ll take it a sign that he really just isn’t interested in me.
On a side note, he went on lunch at 6pm, came back at around 7ish but didn't change his Status xD it's either he forgot or na distract na sya sakin CHOS sige laaaangg.
I swear I hope we can talk more tho. Since he seenzoned me, I will not message him again cos I don't want to look eager/desperate so yeah. Byeeeeee.
.
30/03
STOP READING MY MESSAGES, dear heart and head, STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM.
I know you get notifications that "Bianca messaged..." Does your heart flutter when my name appears? STOP OVERTHINKING BIANCA.
Ayan nnmn tayo sa seenzone eh 14:55. Ano ba?
.
1/04/20
I had a dream that he messaged me. He asked me how I was and for some reason, he told me to go to Google Music because they were having a sale and that I should make a track for him. (Like what?)
Also dreamt that he took me home again. When we got to our house, he told me we needed to talk. I think he confessed.
Ay ayoko na.
.
5/4/20
Why do I keep dreaming about him? I dreamt that he messaged me on FB, really long paragraphs of him confessing his feelings.
Urgh.
Oh and I also paid for a tarot reading of how he really sees me. I mean idk if it's real but there are feelings there but there may be a third party but the reader could not 100% confirm it. It is highly probable, he's a single man who could totally date around. The reading also mention how he finds me attractive and sees a long term energy with me. It also says how he may not be ready for a serious romantic relationship but he can see it progressing down the line. But honestly, I do not see him as someone who longs for sex, yknow? I am nearly sure that he could still be a virgin but the fact that he frequented Krystle in college, makes me question it. I mean, he is a white male, it is something I am not super pressed about.
I've just been thinking, if I were to get with a Filipino guy, is there anyone out there who has never had a girlfriend or who has even dated anyone?
Chad really gives me the vibe of never having a girlfriend before but I really see him as not looking for anything at the moment to focus on his dream job.
.
6/4/20
Okay, why did I have a dream that he proposed to me??
I think we argued over something and then a few days later, he proposed. Wtf.
From what I remember, he only proposed in his car. lol
.
8/4/20
So we had a team call today. He has not been working since like Thursday last week because he could not get his VPN to work.
But dang. I heard his voice after 3 weeks. He sounds the same as in real life but his American accent is more prominent 😂
Then our TL said we might still be working from home for the next 3-4 months and I'm just like. HUHUHU.
Will I be over you by then?
.
10/04/20
Had a dream we were back in the office and we were having banters again like nothing has changed.
I think he also messaged me on Facebook one of these isolation days...
I swear I know it was probably unintentional for him to ghost me like that.
.
11/04/20
So I've been searching his Gamer tag on Google, even before I decided to let go of him and there is this one file I keep noticing, it is League of Legends and it seems his password is Yugioh246 😂 it is actually hilarious 😂 I didn't know he is that big of a nerd. I don't see it as a bad thing because I like nerds and I am drawn to them but I hope he is not an incel because that is a major turn off.
Yes, I am not wishing for us to be together anymore but I really hope he finds the woman of his dreams. He deserves to have someone who will understand him for who he is.
.
13/04/20
Another thing, how do I listen to songs without thinking of him?? It is getting frustrating. I used to listen to these songs without thinking of him and now all I do is associate these songs to him. Nakakainis.
.
14/04/20
Why do you keep reading my messages then stop reading others' after mine??
.
18/04/20
Argh why did I dream of him again?
We were back in the office daw and I sat in a different computer because I was avoiding him as in. For some reason, the coat rack was behind him so when it was home time, I grabbed my coat as fast as I could so he would not talk to me. He was slouched in his seat and looked really tired. His hair was long like mid length sufer dude hair, he was not wearing his hat. But then he saw me and called me and said "Bianca, I'll give you a ride home." I replied, gaga naman ate nyo, "If it's not raining, I can walk but if it is, I'll take the bus." He replied, "What time is your bus?" I replied, "In an hour." He replied, "Okay, if it's raining, I'll wait for you here, let me know." Then I grabbed my stuff from my locker, I went out the office and it was raining. I went back into the office and told him that it was raining. So he got up from his seat and we walked to his car. On the way, I noticed he looked really tired and his eyes were red so I asked him, "Did you not sleep?" His reply was: "Yeah I came to work with no sleep." So we just walked to his car and he opened the door for me. He even adjusted my seat.
Then for some weird reason, we ended up in Dolphins Barn, like the flats and around Tesco. Then there were billboards for Book of Mormons and he saw it he said or read "What about the Mormons?" Then I was confused at first so he pointed at the ads for the Book of Mormons. Then I told him: "Oh I really wanna see that! I heard it's meant to be one of the best Broadway shows." He then tells me he is not a big play fan but there is something he likes. I asked him but he saw another Book of Mormons billboard and pointed to it. Then we reached Reilly's Ave and idk why but my whole family and our old neighbors were all outside. Bsta ang weird talaga na he dropped me off in our old house. Dreams are weird.
So I just thanked him and watched him leave.
Aish why did I dream of you again???
.
20/4/20
Had another dream about him. Just why oh why? What are these dreams trying to tell me? I haven't been thinking about him seriously so idk.
Basically in this dream, we were all back in the office. So we got a few newbies who joined our team. And management/TL thought it was a good idea to blend the newbies with the senior agents so there was a complete seat change again. Chad and the guy beside him moved to my old area, as in Chad moved to my old seat. While I was stayed in my current seat. Of course I felt sad that I won't be able to see him face to face as often anymore and that I felt like our friendship will drift apart again.
Basta ano baaa I don't understand this. Do I still have feelings for him deep down?
Oh and he read my message on the group chat again. 10:18am. I mean ok he's been active on the UKI chat today so here's me overthinking again.
.
23/04/20
Another day, another Chad dream.
So in this dream, I was in Tesco with my mom or Aldi, anyways a supermarket.
I wanted to make Tacos so I was at the spice aisle, looking for a taco spice mix. Then out of nowhere, he pops up and sees me. Says hello and asked how I was etc, while I was grabbing the taco spice mix.
Then I told him goodbye but I still kept seeing him everywhere in the store even though I purposely was avoiding him.
WHY DO I KEEP DREAMING OF HIM.
It is honestly annoying. 😭
I just wanna move on.
.
27/04/20
Been a while since my last dream but I dreamt that he drove me home, yet again, but I only remember the part where we entered Cherrywood and then I just got out of the car and don't even remember saying thanks. I stood at the front door, until he left.
.
28/04/20
Arghhh he read my messages again on the office chat almost instantly at 2.37pm 😩😩😩😩 Whereas our own team's chat has been active all day, yet he has not read the messages on there since yesterday morning!!
Were you expecting that I messaged you or something??? CMON IF YOU WANNA TALK TO ME JUST MESSAGE ME. I already messaged you first, it's your turn.
Ugh I hate overthinking this!!
Also, 26th of April marked the 1st month since we last talked. Hmmmm have I fully moved on? I really don't think I have but I am just trying to live my life. Why must you be an introvert Chad, we'll be waiting for each other forever.
.
6/05/20
Hmmmm... Beginning to think he actually has 3 siblings contrary to the fact that I thought he said there are 3 of them in the family, him being the eldest, followed by his sister then his younger brother.
If it is his brother that I saw on FB then it makes sense now because remember when he gave out chocolates for Christmas? I heard him say "my brother's work had them on sale" or something along the lines. And the other brother I was aware of was only a kid. This person I saw matches the bill, from Chicago and went to the same secondary school as him. (AND LOOKS LIKE HIM!!! We may be the same age or a year younger because he graduated secondary school in 2014) [yup he is older than me by 6 months and just like his older brother, he is also very much into Star Wars and video games. But he seems more social than his bro. Haha xa na lang date ko 😂 Chad 2.0 chosss Chad introduce me to your bro para di tayo awkward sa work 😂 They are actually only 10 months apart, I wonder if they are close.]
Hmmmmm why am I such a stalker 😂
(7.6 update: nah saw his bro's IG and he seems like a fckboi, his DP is a mirror selfie of him shirtless, showing off his v line abs 😂)
.
13/05/20
It's been a while. As of yesterday, he is fully back to work. We had a team meeting on Monday and he was on it. He said they gave him a laptop to work on. I had myself on mute so I was just listening to him. Yes I wanted to join in on the convo but I needed to stop myself. I need to distance myself until I fully move on from him.
Anyways, today, a case was assigned to me at around 8.30 in the morning. I didn't action it because the office was going mad with chats so I said I was gonna action it when I had a chance later on.
Then I noticed that it disappeared from my queue. I went to my closed cases and I saw that he had actioned it. I mean, I am not saying that he did it on his own free will, our TL may have asked him to go through our team's response received internal queue. Which is aight but this case was not originally mine, but one of his office broskis, na mean? So it's either he did not read the email thread at all or he just decided to close it in MY name. I mean he had to type my name and I wonder if he felt something. CHOSSSSSS 😂
But I'm telling you guys, ever since he got access again, my heart started fluttering again just like when I was still crushing on him, before I moved in front of him and he started giving me all these attention that made me fall in love with him.
I have been trying to move on. I even wrote a 7 page journal entry about my feelings. I've been super distracting myself by watching Kim Possible and staying away from sappy romantic shows 😂
I need more time to heal but it will be okay!
Update 14/5:
I got another case from the same broski, which he actioned yesterday and closed it under his broski's name but he closed the other one on mine.
Ugh why am I overthinking this again!!!
Chad please go away from my feelings 😩
15/5
Today, I helped him out with one of his cases.
He said 'thanks!' whereas the past few days, he's only been replying to people on our team with 'ty!'.
Made me overthink again but I was just being ridiculous 😂 'ty' tapos today sakin 'thanks', special ako chos 😂 honestly wasn't that bothered but okay! Stop giving me special treatment please 😂 don't treat me differently from others if you don't feel the same way because it's unhealthy for me 😂
Helped him again with another one and he said 'thanks!' again urgh. Swear tho, I was hesitating a bit when I was helping him. My heart was thumping again like it did before we started getting comfortable with each other 😭😭😭
.
17/5/20
Exactly 2 months since I saw him and when he dropped me home.
Oh Chad. Will I ever be over you.
.
18/5/20
Helped him with another case because no one was helping him so I was just being nice.
Bianca don't be marupok pls. You've been making progress. Don't relapse now.
.
20/5/20
Another day of helping him out....
Basically he asked our group chat for help, no one replied for like 5 minutes so I said I'll help him.
Then he private messaged me about the case. He told me there were a lot and said "ahah". I should have joked around but I didn't or even asked him how he was 😭
But after I helped him, this was his reply:
Tumblr media
Huhuhu parang ang happy nya na may tumulong sa kanya. Chad naman, don't do this to me! I am trying to move on 😭
.
21/05/20
Haaaayy... Reading my messages again as soon as I post them. Chad Chad Chad ....
.
26/05/20
He legit have not read messages on our office GC since 10.30 this morning. I messaged a few times around 3pm and he kept reading them. Ano ba kasi Chad.
Don't be scared of rejection, I know I may not be showing real signs but I am an awkward turtle, just talk to me.
.
27/05/20
As usual no one was helping him again so I private messaged him and asked if anyone was helping yet.
His response:
Tumblr media
Hahaha cute 😂 so I told him 'give me the deets, I'll send it up'.
He said 'ty!!', gave me the deets.
Then when I completed it, this was his reply:
Tumblr media
Hahaha naloka na xa, double a. Choss. I replied with "anytime 😊" 😂 para konti landi to let him know na I am here to help anytime HAHAHAHAHAHAHA chos
BAKIT HIRAP MAG MOVE ON MGA BESH
.
5/6/20
So I've been hesitating about posting this but about 2 days ago? I had a dream about him again. It wasn't just him in it but the dream mostly centered about him and I.
Basically, we there was a party in the office and for some reason, I was getting ready at my desk as in curling my hair (so weird 😂😂😂).
Then Chad decided to go out of the computer area, probs was on a break or something. Then my team decided it was a good idea to hide his baby yoda plushie so I hid it in my locker and when he came back, he kept looking for it and we were just laughing at him. 😂
That was it haha.
But you guys, I've been diligently praying for my vocation and I've been getting signs about marriage etc. What if he's the one? God, please give me more signs.
.
15/06/20
So it's been a while. I've been helping him here and there over the last few weeks.
Today's response was "awesome, thanks!"
And that made me kilig inside. 😂
I am awesome, chos! 😂
.
16/06/20
Just saw the July Schedule and he is taking 2 weeks holidays 😂
Lol fam watchu gonna do? 😂
Tara let's go on a date chos 😂
.
24/06/20
I miss him ☹️ But I've been good with not thinking about him a lot but I just really can't wait to be able to ask him out in person hahaayyyy
Hmmmm I also suddenly wondered if he still has the card I gave him for Christmas. That was a cute card, €4 din un ha hahaha
.
3/07/20
Yo wassup.
I had a dream, so we were back in the office. We were on the weekend shift and for some reason, I decided I was staying back for a bit more so he left before me.
Basically, from this dream, it seems that we were on minimal speaking terms. So like as he was leaving, at the computer area door, he said bye to me and idk why, I asked him to have dessert with me on Monday 😂 it was weird 😂
.
12/07/20
Okur, I had a dream that he dropped me off again in Cherrywood, like just out of nowhere. Like all I remember was that we were walking to his car together.
He even opened my door and carried my bag and walked me to the front door. Haaayyy....
.
14/07/20
So today, I was overthinking again.
Basically there was a post in work where an SME asked him to tag his team. He tagged me first over his broskis and that made me quite overthink again. Like the way he tagged our team was not as if it was alphabetical order. So why did he tag me first?
Hahah ako ung unang pumasok sa isip nya
Huhuhu ayoko naaaaa
.
19/07/2020
So he is on his 2 weeks PTO from tomorrow.
Haaaaayyyyy miss ko na xa, bakit ba kasi ako ganito. Pero as long as he has not said that he is not interested in me, may chance pa rin tlga kami eh.
Wag lang tlaga xang umalis ng company and it will be grand.
.
08/08/20
Been a while since this was updated, nothing's been happening between us so there is nothing to report. But anyways, lately I've been having (r-rated) fantasies about him 😂 argh I just want to be with him 😂
He's also started playing Fall Guys on the PS4, we have something in common na chos 😂
Also, there's an SME position in work and I have a feeling he might apply huhu if he gets it, he'll be level 12 and I won't be able to date him 😭😂
Honestly still think may something sila ng QA namin huhuhu
.
16/08/20
So I told MF on the 14th of August about everything that has happened, like how I was getting mixed signals that made me overthink alot to me messaging him twice and being left on read, also how I plan on asking him out when we get to the office. (Also how he dropped me home.)
I told her how it's been very hard for me in the last 5 months, trying to move on from someone I don't even talk to. She was very understanding and told me that she also has not talked to Chad since WFH, as she was also left on read. She said he may not be the texty type because he's quite shy.
I was honestly shook. I thought they talk, even on our workplace chat because they are close in work. Cause I asked her if it was even a good idea for me to ask him out or if she knows if he's seeing someone because I don't want to intrude. I told her I want to take a risk with him but a part of me fears rejection.
She asked me if I ever thought about asking him out for coffee since things are opening up. I told her, yes but I don't think we are in that level where I could just ask him randomly.
So her plan is to build up a rapport with him again and find out the goss. I really hope she can build something up with him and that if ever, this time, there will be progress.
Until I know I have a chance with him, I can't move on. If he's seeing someone, then okay at least I'll know where I stand.
I'll let you know if there's progress.
.
19/08/2020
So today, I helped him out with a case.
One of the internal tools was not working for him so he asked for help. I was the first to reply so I told him to send me the details and I'll do it.
When I did it for him, he said 'Perfect thank you!' and I just replied, "No worries 😊" landi landi with that emoji 😂 Wish we kinda had a conversation going though 😭 Wish I asked him how he was but it wasn't appropriate okay 😂
Haaayy can't wait to find out if he's dating anyone or when I'll see him again so I can ask him out. HAAAAAYYYYSSSS.
.
9/9/20
So yesterday, I asked our group chat for help on a case. I didn't really expect that he would be the one to respond but he did and that was cute. Awww. ❤️
Looool I wish I could've thanked him personally but other people started helping me out so yeah. But for a brief moment, I was kilig haha
Really wanna ask him out already! But cases are rising again and I don't want him to use Covid as an excuse so I'll wait again until cases have slowed down.
.
13/09/20
So today, I had a video call with MF. She told me that she got a new job 😭 meaning, she won't be able to be my wingwoman now 😭
I am happy for her but this cuts down all my chances with Chad 😭
But she did talk to Chad and he applied to the SME role apparently, I think he may have already been interviewed but he didn't hear back from them yet.
MF also said that we should meet up for a coffee date "with Bianca" and he said we should hahaha cmon MF make this a reality please so I can talk to him 😭

Rest in power.
DJ Khaled and John Legend paid tribute to slain rapper Nipsey Hussle on Saturday Night Live, while performing “Higher,” their joint track with Hussle, which was released on Friday, nearly two months after the rapper was gunned down outside of his Los Angeles clothing store.
“Long live Nipsey Hussle, the Marathon Continues,” Khaled, who was wearing a sweatshirt with a portrait of Nipsey, said as he introduced Legend.
Then, the pair were joined by Khaled’s Father of Asahd collaborators Meek Mill, Sza, J Balvin, Big Sean, Lil Wayne, Jeremih and Lil Baby, who all performed on SNL.

Two days before releasing the track, along with the rapper’s final music video, Khaled announced that all of the song’s proceeds would be donated to Nipsey’s children — son Kross, 2½, with girlfriend Lauren London and daughter Emani, 10, from a previous relationship.
“Recently, I embarked on a soul-searching journey down a road I never thought I would travel in a million years. It began when a tragedy robbed the world of an enlightened soul, a brother, a father, a partner and my friend Nipsey Hussle,” Khaled shared in a statement on Twitter.
The hitmaker went on to reveal that just days before Nipsey was killed on March 31, “he shared his energy and positivity with me on a video set for a song called, ‘Higher.’ ”
“After much prayer and reflection; and with the full blessing of the Asghedom family, I am sharing that with the world,” Khaled continued.
Along with the tweet, Khaled wrote, “A gift from my brother Nipsey we want to share with the world. We miss you and we will forever keep your legacy going.”
A gift from my brother Nipsey that we want to share with the world. We miss you and we will forever keep your legacy going. The Marathon Continues.

In the track, Nipsey reminisces about his grandmother and the memories he’s created with his family while walking around a Los Angeles neighborhood.
“Los Angeles love, kinda of like Hussle and Boog,” Nipsey raps of his girlfriend, using her nickname Boogie. Nipsey and London, both from Los Angeles, had been dating for six years at the time of his death.
“Mani turned ten, Kross turned two,” Nipsey continues in reference to the couple’s son and his daughter from a previous relationship.
The rapper then speaks on his past and how far he’s come in life saying, “Dance with the devil and test our faith/ I was thinkin’ chess moves but it was God’s grace.”
RELATED VIDEO: Lauren London Remembers Late Love Nipsey Hussle At His Memorial
London previously spoke about Nipsey’s love for his family at his emotional memorial, which was held at the Staples Center.
“My pain is from a 2-year-old that probably won’t remember how much his dad loved him,” she said.
“His soul was majestic. He was the strongest man that I ever knew. A gentle father, a patient leader, a divine light. He was brilliant. He researched everything, completely self-taught, constantly seeking knowledge,” London said.

Hussle died from gunshot wounds to both the head and torso, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner confirmed. “Paramedics were called and was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m.,” the coroner said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.
Eric Holder was charged in early April with one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.
He entered a plea of not guilty in court on April 4 and could face a maximum sentence of life in state prison if convicted.
Last week, Attorney Chris Darden, who was famously part of the prosecution team in the O.J. Simpson trial announced he was withdrawing from Nipsey’s murder case after receiving threats against himself and his family.

Storyline (per IMDB): Alice is a daydreaming young girl. She finds learning poems and listening to literature boring. She prefers stories with pictures and to live inside her imagination. One day, while enduring just such a poetry reading, she spots a large white rabbit…dressed in a jacket and carrying a large watch. He scurries off, saying he’s late, for a very important date. She follows him through the forest. He then disappears down a rabbit hole. Alice follows, leading her to all manner of discoveries, characters and adventures.
Pre-Watching Thoughts: We continue on through the 1950s with one of the more interesting films in the entirety of the Disney canon. This was one of those films that was not well-received upon its initial release and would end up gaining a cult following in the years that followed, and to this day it is considered one of the best adaptations of Lewis Carroll’s works. This was always one of my favorites growing up as I always thought that it was a fun movie, and we will see if it manages to hold up especially amongst some of the other films in this canon.
Voice Cast: So prior to this film, the number of actors that are involved in the films was fairly small which makes sense given that most of the films didn’t have a lot of characters. However, that changes here as we have a massive cast here to cover a lot of the characters that show up at some point throughout this film. We do have a few returns here as Verna Felton comes back to voice the Queen of Hearts, Jerry Colonna voices the March Hare, Jimmy MacDonald voices the Dormouse, Sterling Holloway voices the Cheshire Cat, Lucille Bliss and Pinto Colvig voice some minor characters, and finally J. Pat O’Malley voices Tweedledee, Tweedledum, the Walrus, the Carpenter, and the Mother Oyster which is quite the feat. Now get ready because we have a lot of new voices to talk about here and we start right off the bat with Kathryn Beaumont who voices Alice, and she does a good job in voicing Alice and it would be one of her two defining roles with the second coming up shortly. We then have comedian Ed Wynn who voices the Mad Hatter and he brings his upbeat energy to that role in a perfect way, and then we have English actor Richard Haydn who voices the Caterpillar and he is solid in bringing that character to life. We then have Bill Thompson who was famous for voicing Droopy the Dog and he voices the White Rabbit as well as the Dodo in a pair of good performances, and we have Heather Angel who voices Alice’s sister and while she doesn’t have too many lines, she does fine in this brief role. We then have Joseph Kearns who voices the Doorknob in a brief role since we don’t see him too often, and then we have Larry Grey who voices Bill the Lizard and one of the playing cards painting the roses red as by this point many of these actors play characters who appear very briefly in the film. One of the last minor roles here is the King of Hearts voiced by Dink Trout in what would be his final role as he had passed away a year before the film released, and finally we had Doris Lloyd who voices the Rose who conducts the flowers during their song. As mentioned, we did have some actors voice characters that appeared for such a brief time like Queenie Leonard who voices the Bird that calls Alice a serpent as well as the snooty flower, and we have the Mellomen led by Thurl Ravenscroft voicing various playing cards along with Don Barclay who also voices a few cards. Finally, we have Mami Nixon who voices all the flowers in the bed that sing with Alice and Norma Zimmer who is the White Rose singing a solo. For as many actors as we had in the film, they all did a fine job in establishing their characters and many of them would provide some memorable moments from the film to help it stand out.
Hero/Prince: N/A
Princess: Alice is a very interesting character in that I was unsure if she belonged in this category or if she was more of a hero, but in all honesty she’s not really a hero because she doesn’t do anything to save anyone. You could even argue that she doesn’t belong in this category, but for those who do remember the original Kingdom Hearts video game she was listed as one of the Seven Princesses of Heart (spoiler alert). When we first meet her, she does appear to live in a castle though this is never confirmed and she dreams of her own world where everything is not what it seems, and this leads her to Wonderland where she discovers that it isn’t all she thought it was and wants to return to her normal life as we find out her adventures were all just a dream. She is one of the more complex characters in that she at times is not very likeable and has a short temper, but other times she is sympathetic when she expresses her desire to go home. Regardless, she is still a pretty memorable character though where she ranks amongst the rest of the princesses will be interesting when we get to that point.
Villain: We have another pretty memorable villain here for this film and while she doesn’t appear until the last part of the film, she still makes it count and I am of course talking about the Queen of Hearts. She has the appearance of a noble monarch though as we see, she has a very short temper and doles out her favorite form of punishment which is beheading as she has the three cards beheaded for painting her roses red after planting white ones by mistake. She then accuses Alice of humiliating her despite it being the Cheshire Cat and after a mock trial where Alice finally lets her feelings loose, the Queen calls for her head though Alice does manage to awaken from her dream. We could also mention her husband the King of Hearts though he is not really a villain since he is clearly the more level-headed of the two, and he simply goes along with the Queen though she does take some of his suggestions including the trial. Again, it will be interesting to see where the Queen of Hearts ranks amongst the rest of the Disney villains, but she is certainly one of the more memorable ones and is one of the highlights of this film.
Other Characters: Okay, I hope you are ready because we have a lot of characters to talk about here as it seems that every turn that Alice makes while in Wonderland, she encounters someone completely different from what she has previous seen. We start off normally has we have Alice’s sister who also acts as her tutor and she is not too keen on Alice’s lack of interest in her studies, and we also have Alice’s cat Dinah though she is of little consequence. We then have one of the main figures in the film with the White Rabbit who is constantly late for something, and we find out that he works for the Queen of Hearts though it is interesting that she never scolds him for being late even though he is freaking out about being late. Alice then meets the Doorknob who is good at making puns and helping Alice learn to grow and shrink in size courtesy of what she eats and drinks, and then she meets the Dodo and the various animals who partake in a caucus race for no reason. She follows that by meeting Tweedledee and Tweedledum who wish to know what she is doing, and when learning that she is curious about where the rabbit is going they tell her the story of the Walrus and the Carpenter where they encounter a group of curious oysters and the walrus ends up eating them. After an encounter with the rabbit and Dodo where she grows inside the rabbit’s house before shrinking to a tiny size, she meets a group of flowers that she starts to bond with before they reject her by thinking she is a weed. She then meets the caterpillar which ends up leading nowhere expect for him telling her that the mushroom can help her grow or shrink, and then she meets the Cheshire Cat who tries to help her by leading her to the Mad Hatter and the March Hare where they are holding a wild tea party. Alice finally has enough and tries to leave though she can’t find her way and encounters various creatures that are part animal and part household items, and then the Cheshire Cat leads her to the Queen of Hearts, her husband the King and their loyal army of playing cards. She runs afoul of them and tries to get out as she encounters the Doorknob again who informs her that she is simply dreaming and she wakes up to return to the real world. It is an interesting dynamic that she dreams of a world of her own where there is nothing but nonsense, but then when she actually goes through it she does a complete about-face though these characters are pretty memorable and fitting for this film.
Songs: On the surface, this seems like a film that would actually work as a musical since many of the poems from the novels are used in this film in song form, and this seems to be true in practice as there was as many as 30 songs written for this film. Now there was a lot of singing involved in the film, but most of it was just for a few seconds so they won’t be included and we will focus on full songs which there were plenty in this film with some even being recorded but never used in the end. Like all the films prior to this, we have a title song for the film which was a good song to open the film amongst the drawings of who we will see, and then we have Alice singing “In a World of My Own” as she sings about her fantasy world in a solid outing. We then have the Dodo and the animals singing “The Caucus Race” as they simply run around the Dodo while getting splashed by water in a silly song, and then Tweedledee and Tweedledum sing the story about “The Walrus and the Carpenter” which sounds nice only to end in a dark turn with the walrus eating the oysters. We then have the flowers singing “Golden Afternoon” which features a lovely solo and Alice cracking her voice in a funny slip-up, and then we have the centerpiece song of the film with “The Unbirthday Song” sung by the Mad Hatter and the March Hare and it is sung repeatedly during the last moments of the film. Alice then sings her lament song “Very Good Advice” as she realizes that she wants to go home, and finally we have the song “Painting the Roses Red” sung by the cards that are actually painting the roses red to try and save their heads. These songs are pretty interesting in terms of their connection to the film and the novels and while it would be interesting to see how the other songs would’ve fit into the film, the ones we ended up getting were good enough though there is nothing that would probably rank high amongst the other songs in the Disney canon.
Plot: It is interesting that this is the first film that its source material is not just from one novel or story, but rather from two as this film draws inspiration from not just “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” but also “Through the Looking Glass” as well. The story is fairly simple as Alice dreams of a world of her own where everything is complete nonsense, and she ends up being drawn into this world by following a white rabbit down a rabbit hole. She encounters various characters and struggles to find acceptance in the world, and she finally decides that she has had enough and wants to head home as she is sent to the Queen of Hearts by the Cheshire Cat. She plays croquet with the Queen until the Cheshire Cat causes mischief which leads the Queen to order Alice’s execution, and it is finally revealed that everything was just a dream as she wakes up back in the real world. It is a very interesting story to say the least as I’m sure that everyone at some point as had fantasies about their own world, and to see it actually play out is pretty unique and also interesting to see Alice discover that it is not what she had hoped when she first wanted it.
Random Watching Thoughts: We still have the ongoing theme of having a title song for the film; I still would like to know how much this chorus got paid to do these films; So is Alice homeschooled since her sister is teaching her about history?; Dinah has the look on her face like “I stopped following you during your explanation” while Alice was explaining her world; So the original song Alice sings was called “Beyond the Laughing Sky” before being changed to “A World of My Own”; What happened to Alice’s sister when she walked away to the pond?; If the rabbit is running late for something, why would Alice think that he would waste time and stop to tell her where he is going?; It is always funny when people think that people on the opposite end of the world walk upside down; In the words of the doorknob, nothing is impossible; I love how she just casually mentions someone drinking from a bottle marked “poison” because one would know not to drink from a bottle marked “poison”, not to mention the bottle she’s holding simply says “Drink Me”; Of course he would wait until after she shrunk down that he’s locked; I can’t imagine shrinking and growing that much can be good for her body; You would think Alice’s eyes had turned into faucets with the amount of tears she was shedding; Why would she think it was a good idea to get out of the bottle in the middle of the water with those waves coming at her?; So running around and around is the fastest way to get dry though the Dodo does have a fire to help him; There was a bit of a snafu as Alice was wet when she landed on shore, but then when she gets hit by the waves the other times she emerges completely dry; It is a bit weird when Tweedledee and Tweedledum both speak yet you only hear one voice; So we manage to have a sky that is both daylight and nighttime at the same time; That’s a lot of sand the Carpenter had in his shoe; The walrus is completely submerged underwater yet he can still smoke his cigar; Of all the things to talk about, they want to talk about shoes, ships, sealing wax, cabbages, and kings; That one spot of all the fish following the walrus and the oysters seemed very reminiscent of when Pinocchio was looking for Monstro; The carpenter was able to work fast to get that makeshift restaurant made; That’s a pretty dick move by the walrus to trick the oysters into following him so he can eat them; You can’t say the walrus didn’t have it coming when the carpenter chased after him; So the rabbit was running late yet he was able to stop by his house and spend some time there; It’s funny how the rabbit immediately assumes that Alice knows where his gloves are even though she’s never been to his house before; I know the cookies have phrases like “Eat Me”, “Take One”, and “Try Me” on them, but you figured Alice would have better manners and not just eat someone else’s food without asking them first; That’s a strong house to be able to stay structurally stable even when Alice grows inside it; The Dodo sees how big Alice is and yet is convinced they can pull her out through the chimney; Poor Bill just went flying into the air and we don’t know his fate; The dodo is just willing to destroy someone’s house like that; The dodo just continues on his business to try and burn the house down even after Alice shrinks and chases after the rabbit; So this world has bread-and-butterflies and rocking horseflies; Every flower wants to sing about themselves until the Rose has them sing the song about all of them; I wonder if Kathryn Beaumont was supposed to sing off-key during the song or if it was a genuine slip-up that they just happened to include in the film; They all take turns making fun of Alice expect the one flower who calls her pretty; They were quick to turn on Alice when they thought she was a weed; It seemed pretty controversial that they had the caterpillar smoking from a hookah and blowing the smoke in Alice’s face; Who knew that caterpillars were poets?; If he is three inches high, how much shorter is Alice because one of them is clearly not three inches; That was a quick transformation for the caterpillar to become a butterfly; I wonder who actually spent the time putting all those different signs up; It seems like the Cheshire Cat is here to just confuse Alice and frustrate her; Probably the understatement of the year when the Cheshire Cat says that most everyone is mad; It can’t possible be good to be having that much tea in such a short amount of time; I wonder how many kids would want to celebrate their “unbirthday” after watching this film; The poor Dormouse looks like he hasn’t had any sleep for months; So they move down the table whenever they have clean cups yet they don’t ever seem to have clean cups; The March Hare seemed very disinterested until Alice mentioned Dinah; Of all the things to calm the Dormouse down after he hears the word “cat”, it would take jam on his nose; So why is a raven like a writing desk? Well according to Lewis Carroll in his take on the riddle and I quote, “Because it can produce a few notes though they are very flat, and it is never put with the wrong end in front”; So the Hatter introduces the riddle and Alice says it back which causes them to think her mad, classic pot calling the kettle black; How convenient that they ask about the time and the rabbit just happens to appear; How does a watch end up being two days slow?; The Hatter is wiling to put anything and everything into that watch, but mustard is where he draws the line; They quickly moved on from Alice when she left the party; So Alice wanted her own nonsense world and now that she’s lived it, she realizes it’s not all that it’s cracked up to be and she wants to go home; She wants something to make sense, well she’s in the wrong place; It is weird that the animals disappear when they start crying; That’s quite a shortcut to get to the Queen’s castle; I love how the cards think that painting the roses red will make things better, but what happens when the paint dries and it looks bad on the roses; You wonder how many decks of cards the Queen has since she has a lot of soldiers; The Queen gets a big ovation from everyone while one lone person cheers for the King; So this game of croquet involves the cards, flamingos, and hedgehogs, thank God PETA wasn’t around back then or they would have a field day with this; Alice’s flamingo won’t be too keen to lose his head if it actually happens; The King yells to save the Queen yet all everyone does is surround her so no one sees her; So the March Hare and Mad Hatter were able to take time away from their endless tea party to testify in this trial; Alice is probably thinking “Just cut my head off right now and spare me from this.”; First mental gaffe there by Alice in eating both parts of the mushroom not realizing one will make her shrink; Another mental gaffe by Alice in that they are giving her an out to leave with her life, but she doesn’t take it which costs her when she shrinks back to normal size; The Cheshire Cat was quick to sell Alice out there in the end; If things didn’t already seem like they went off the rails before, they are certainly going off the rails now in this final sequence as Alice tries to escape; I wonder how many audience members rolled their eyes in disbelief at the end when it is revealed that all of this was basically a dream; When her sister said it was time for tea, you almost wanted Alice to say that she was done with tea; I believe this is the first film to have credits at the end of the film.
Overall Thoughts: Overall, the film was pretty solid and was a good entry in the Disney canon though it was a slight step back from Cinderella. This was an interesting film in that it was not very successful when it was in theaters, but it would ultimately benefit from being on television early on and would go onto become a cult classic which solidified its status as a Disney classic. It was also a big moment for Disney as he would see the benefit of television and what it could offer, so while his main focus was on the big screen he was also looking to expand his influence onto the small screen. As for Alice in Wonderland, it is a very solid film and a perfectly fine entry in the Disney canon.
Final Grade: 7.5/10

Lion’s Mane Mushroom Benefits for Cognition, Memory & More
New Post has been published on http://healingawerness.com/news/lions-mane-mushroom-benefits-for-cognition-memory-more/
Lion’s Mane Mushroom Benefits for Cognition, Memory & More
Lion’s mane is a funny-looking mushroom, it’s true, but it seems to have some seriously impressive health benefits. Used medicinally in Asia for centuries, lion’s mane is becoming increasingly popular in the West as science starts to back up its reputation.
I’ve tried other mushrooms like chaga and noticed a difference in energy and focus, so I wanted to know more about this superfood mushroom as well.
Lion’s Mane Mushroom Benefits
As early as 450 BCE, the Greek physician (and grandfather of modern medicine) Hippocrates identified mushrooms as potent anti-inflammatory agents. All these years later, knowledge about medicinal mushrooms is still in its infancy (at least in the West).
Some researchers theorize that we haven’t explored fungi as medicine because they can be so dangerously confusing. One mushroom may be good for eating while the one right next to it could kill us! It makes sense to be cautious of something we perceive as dangerous and that is not well understood. (That being said, traditional Eastern cultures seem to have figured it out…)
In a nutshell, lion’s mane is known for its effects on the central nervous system. Chinese medicine practitioners have used lion’s mane medicinally for centuries to:
fortify the spleen
nourish the gut
as an anti-cancer drug
promote digestion
increase vigor and strength
help ulcers and chronic gastritis
It is also thought to be helpful with insomnia, weakness, and low strength or energy… and research is still uncovering other benefits.
What Is Lion’s Mane Mushroom?
Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus) is native to North America, Europe, and Asia. However, it isn’t widely cultivated outside of Asia, where it holds a strong reputation as a healthful medicinal mushroom.
One reason you haven’t seen lion’s mane at the grocery store is its rather creepy, shaggy appearance. It looks more like a white pom-pom than the typical edible mushroom. Thanks to its appearance it has a long list of creative names: sheepshead, bearded tooth mushroom, satyr’s beard, monkey’s head, pom-pom mushroom, bearded hedgehog mushroom, and yamabushitake.
How Lion’s Mane Mushroom Affects the Brain
Lion’s mane has many health benefits but is most researched for how it affects the brain.
Improves Memory and Focus
Lion’s mane is said to promote focus and concentration as well as memory. In our modern society where we are always multitasking, this is something on a lot of our minds (pun fully intended).
Research shows that lion’s mane helps improve focus by stimulating nerve growth factor (NGF). NGF is a neuropeptide that helps regulate growth, maintenance, proliferation, and survival of neurons or nerve cells. These neurons are like messengers, sending and processing information from the brain to the rest of the body. This research also shows that it can help improve photographic and short-term memory.
A 2009 study found that lion’s mane was effective at improving cognition in those with mild cognitive impairment (when taken for at least 4 weeks). The study also found that lion’s mane works best when taken continuously.
Reduces Depression and Anxiety
Anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental illnesses affecting people today. Vitamin B12 deficiency has proven to be a big factor in depression, but when that’s not enough, lion’s mane may help.
This mushroom likely has an effect on the autonomous nervous system because of its ability to stimulate NGF. This is the part of the nervous system that regulates automatic processes like breathing.
One part of this system is the sympathetic nervous system which controls fight or flight reactions. In depression and anxiety, the sympathetic nervous system is in overdrive (while the parasympathetic nervous system is lowered). NGF can help improve the balance of the autonomous nervous system and reduce depression and anxiety.
(Note: This is probably only one factor as to why it helps mental state and more research is needed to find out why it works.)
May Stop or Reverse Neurodegenerative Disease
The ability to stimulate NGF can have beneficial effects on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia. In studies, the polysaccharides in these mushrooms were found to be neuroprotective. Additionally, neurite outgrowth (the process of neurons learning and growing in their job as messengers) also improved.
While neuroprotection is important, regeneration is even better. One study found that lion’s mane mushrooms help regenerate neurons from peripheral nerve injury (reconnecting links between the brain and the spinal cord). For this reason lion’s mane may also protect against the spread of Parkinson’s disease.
Lowers Inflammation
Antioxidants are one way to fight back against oxidative stress and inflammation that cause disease. One study demonstrates that lion’s mane has the 4th highest concentration of antioxidants in any mushroom. A 2015 study confirmed that lion’s mane can reduce inflammation in fatty tissue.
Other Uses of Lion’s Mane
Lion’s mane is well known as a brain-supporting mushroom, but there are other benefits this medicinal mushroom can provide too. These additional health benefits alongside the cognitive function support make lion’s mane an amazing overall food, and many health companies are now providing it in supplement form.
Fights cancer – Lion’s mane is active against certain cancer cells and studies suggest it does this without toxicity to the patient. (More research is needed in this area.)
Supports heart health – Consumption of lion’s mane can also improve ratios of good to bad cholesterol. It also shows that this mushroom can lower triglycerides in the bloodstream which may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Improve gastric symptoms – Polysaccharides in lion’s mane may be helpful in treating gastric issues.
Improves immune system – Lion’s mane promoted an antibacterial immune response when given to mice infected with salmonella. These mice lived 3 times longer after treatment with the mushroom. This may be due to a beneficial change in gut bacteria that stimulated the immune system.
Risks & Precautions
Lion’s mane has no known side effects or established toxicity and is generally considered safe. However, it’s not uncommon for funguses to cause allergic reactions like skin rashes or breathing difficulty. Always check with your doctor before supplementing with lion’s mane, especially if you have any allergies to other mushrooms.
How to Use It
Use lion’s mane like any other mushroom. It’s a great replacement for meat due to its meaty texture and is thought to take on the flavor of what you cook with it. But fair warning — some think lion’s mane can also have a crab or lobster taste and texture. That’s a great thing if you like seafood (not so great if you don’t!).
Eating Lion’s Mane
Lion’s mane is still relatively new in the West so you aren’t likely to find it at your local grocery store. An Asian market may have it available locally. There are also many different kinds of kits to start growing your own mushrooms!
I haven’t tried preparing (or growing) lion’s mane myself. This tutorial on how to cook it claims “the contrasts between the hairs and the almost rubbery texture of the inside makes for an amazing culinary experience.”
Uh… I’ll take their word for it for now… if you try it, let me know if they’re right! 🙂
What I Do
If you don’t want to try fresh lion’s mane, consider using the dried mushroom in a tea. Alternately you could try a capsule, tincture, or lion’s mane extract. My favorite way to get my dose is by using Four Sigmatic elixir or coffees. You just add hot water to the single-serve packets so they are perfect for traveling, camping, or a quick cup at home. (And I promise… you won’t even know it has mushrooms in it!)
As always, supplementing with even the best superfood supplements isn’t going to fix a poor diet, but it can be a great natural way to boost productivity and focus… and who doesn’t need that?
Have you tried lion’s mane? Did you feel an improvement in your brain health?

Creative Teaching
It is now the end of week three of my placement. This being the second time I have been asked to produce an activity for a year 2 Level 3 BTEC Business Studies group. Primarily, I am going to address the fact that I did not anticipate I would be teaching this subject. I started my placement with the mindset that the only subject which I would be teaching and was able to teach would be Law. The subject which I had obtained my degree in and which I had a wider knowledge base for. I quickly learnt nevertheless, that it is important when in the teaching profession to adapt yourself to the environment you are put in . Faced with this it is now important to ensure I maintain and update my knowledge not only in my first subject of Law but, Business Studies too. To do this I have read through the text books given to students on this course to understand what they should be learning. I have also, obtained the scheme of work for the module as well as the grading boundaries and module guide. Rebecca Ratcliffe (2013) addresses this issue in the Guardian stating that ‘adopting a new subject isn’t easy (but)…. can complement a teacher’s main specialism’. This is something which I hope for, that at the end of my teacher training these two subjects will complement each other. Fortunate for me my Level 3 qualification was obtained in Business which means that I have a base knowledge for this subject.
Previous to this in week two I was informed that the group were currently studying careers and I was asked to create a short starter activity for them. I would be given 10 minutes in which to do this. For this I created an activity with the title ‘Who am I?’. This entailed me describing a transferable skill such as ‘team work’ and the class writing on a piece of paper what they thought the answer was. This worked well however, reflecting on this I realised these learners needed something different even if for just 10 minutes of the session. When I was asked to create an activity for the same group for the following week I aimed to change my approach to this. To do this I decided to create a starter activity not relating to part of the curriculum to get them engaged before continuing with a curriculum based activity. Whilst this was not strictly curriculum based it did encourage them to use some of the transferable skills which they needed to explain and evidence in their upcoming assignment.
Biggs (2003, p102) supports this by stating that ‘a change in activity leads to a restoration of performance almost to the original level’. This is exactly what I aimed to achieve for the subject specific portion of the lesson.
At the start of this lesson to engage with their diverse nature I involved them in a game where they had to guess the name of the song playing and gained extra points if they got the year as well. They engaged with this extremely well and all seemed to enjoy the activity. I learnt from this that it is often a case of trial and error. Whilst the first activity previously mentioned worked well there was not a full class engagement compared to the last one.  As stated previously whilst this activity was not strictly curriculum based it meant the students could relate to the purpose of the activity. The students could see the purpose of speaking, listening and team working skills to complete a task.
To finalise the lesson, I created a plenary activity (a short power point) based on cover letters and CV’s.  Throughout this I highlighted items in an example CV or cover letter asking them whether they thought the items should be in there or not. Using the stretch and challenge ethos I then asked them to support their answer with reasoning (PS 14). This would then further confirm to myself that the learners had achieved what I expected of them throughout the lesson and were able to apply this in a practical and efficient manner. I evidenced this through a question and answer approach.
