Pretty cool that we're actually getting a horror movie released in China. We did get Obsession and Alien Romulus, but it's been a while.
I'm pretty sure the last zombie movie to come out was actually Milla Jovovich's Resident Evil almost a decade ago. Hopefully a sign of more horror movies to come.
Anyone can help with this? I'm not even sure. I haven't used all the sites, but pretty sure most file hosting sites. Whenever I would send a download link to the real-debrid website, it would always say not supported.
Context: "14. (C) When asked the raison d'etre of the Chinese consulate in Laoag, the Chamber of Commerce members (and other interlocutors) said they could discern no reason why the PRC would need or want a diplomatic post in Ilocos Norte. They attributed the establishment of this consulate to close ties between Chinese officials and the Marcos family. Meeting with us in Manila, Ilocos Norte Congressman Ferdinand "Bong-Bong" Marcos Jr. confirmed he had lobbied PRC officials to establish the Laoag consulate. Marcos said the Chinese had opened the consulate after considering the long-term outlook for Chinese interests in Ilocos Norte, including tourism and Chinese investment. Marcos then noted tangentially that multiple business deals between Chinese and Ilocano parties had collapsed after allegations of kickbacks in a 2007 transaction between GRP officials and Chinese telecommunication firm ZTE.

In other words, for cases that the Supreme Court had the time to check, Regional trial courts had a wrongful execution rate of almost 3/4.

It was certainly an experience. 80% of the fun was laughing along with the audience. There were no English subtitles, but the fact that the dialogue was as slow and as simple as a show for toddlers made it easy to follow for anyone with intermediate Mandarin.
Best 180 pesos I ever bought and it came with the worst tasting drink I've ever had in my life. Imagine if you mix knorr chicken and fresh milk.
The movie was a disjointed mess but it clearly had heart and has a beautiful message and a song in the end that almost made me cry. The mom did a great job animating the movie and singing the song. They deserve the tens of millions or dollars they will make. Plenty of kids in the audience loving it.
Still better than any AI movie or drama out there. Knowing that it's a mother and son making it over 5 years by themselves made it sweet along with the plot. Made me call my mom after.
Still, it's never a good film by any measureable metric. But I'm glad I still watched it.
Fiance went through surgical menopause because of cancer. Bale tinanggal yung ovaries yeah and that has massive hormonal implications regarding sex and her overall health.
She's beat cancer and I'm proud of her for doing so.
But having non existent sex for more than a year is killing me. I'm just 30 and I miss the intimacy. But I also can't blame her lack of libido for going through cancer and not having the desire for intimacy despite going through HRT.
I'm lonely. At least physically, maybe even emotionally.
Sorry for subjecting you guys through this. It's not my fault and it's not hers. I just feel so fucking lonely. I'm also so jealous of other couples. I miss having a sex life, but it hurts me because I can't tell her and she has other things on her mind such as the fear of the cancer coming back anytime.
Am I selfish? I love her but it's so fucking hard to live like this for the rest of my life.
Rewatched Obsession and I don't buy the magic willow for a second, that's just the cover story he tells himself so he doesn't have to admit he manipulated a woman on purpose
Demonstrate value
He's known Nikki for years, works with her, could've just said something normal. instead he stages this whole wish moment for maximum drama, big gesture, big mystery, all for show. He also demonstrates his own value by proving he can drive her home without any major issues.
Engage physically,
Suddenly he's everywhere, always conveniently present the second her behavior shifts, that's a lot of scheduling for something that's supposedly out of his hands
Nurture dependence,
-She starts needing him constantly and he just lets it happen because it feels good to be needed, never questions it once, never brings it up to a single friend the whole movie
Neglect emotionally
-Leaves her crying and begging in bed to go hang out with Sarah instead, real casual for a guy who's supposedly horrified by what's happening to her
Inspire hope
She gets a lucid moment, tells him this is wrong, he gets offended like she's the unreasonable one, then feeds her just enough affection to reel her back in, textbook intermittent reinforcement
Separate entirely
-Fuckken yeets himself with pills
So no, I don't think Nikki was ever possessed, I think Bear ran a full DENNIS cycle on a friend and hid behind a toy so we'd feel bad for him instead of seeing him for what he is.
10/10 unsettling watch 0/10 believing this man's narration.
Though she never assumed her functions and had to resign in 2014 for personal reasons. It was a supposed to be a 9 year term.

For me Dan Burn playing at right back is up there. Funny in hindsight though. Parker Ball? Kamara shenanigans? Or that time we gave up on Europa in ridiculous fashion against Odense.
For my dad it's losing to Torquay.
February 3, 1996
Fulham was sitting in the 4th tier and about to get sent to the National League.
Only 2K fans bothered to show up at the Cottagge a few days before.
We lose to Torquay and end up 23/24. Relegation almost a certainty.
Enter player-coach Mickey Adams to salvage our season. Absolute legend who steadied the ship and pretty much set the foundation for one of the most ridiculous rise to the Premier League in just a few years.
Forever grateful for Micky Adams. Even if he was somewhat unfairly not given a chance. Simon Morgan was an absolute legend too.
In just 4 years we reached the Premier League. From being almost relagated to the 5th tier to being in the Premier League is an amazing story.
I find it cute how she showed Pegula some love. THAT Miami Open run match started it all for Alex.
For example in this model the ruling party could assign Vico Sotto to a bigger city like Quezon City to try and fix their issues in one six year term. While someone like Joy Belmonte could get assigned to Davao City. Being rotated all across the Philippines with a chance to join the higher echelons of the party for a chance at the presidency with continued success.
While mayors who don't perform will be demoted to handling barangays or desk work.
The "No hometown" and one term rule will help reduce patronage politics and utang na loob system. Combine that with the political dynasty law means that regions will have new leaders that are rotated and seen as government workers instead of being revered.
KPI could be a public metric with data audited by local and international third party working with the PSA measuring healthcare, crime, education, corruption, environment, and approval ratings
