This is for a girl with a pure soul... and a huge heart 💔 she just wanted to dance. Naomie Aliza Bikhar, 23 A French-Israeli citizen She was murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Supernova music festival on Oct 7. This is her story: She attended the rave alongside her boyfriend, Oz Ezra, who was also slain that day. The pair tried to flee the onslaught of terrorists, and Oz was shot in the shoulder but continued to run for safety. At the Shaar Hanegev junction, Naomie was killed by a group of terrorists while on a video call with her friends. She was buried in Ashdod on October 9. She is survived by her mother, Simona, and her siblings Livnat, David, Noa and Aviv. Born in France, she and her family moved to Israel when she was 13, following the death of her father, Jacky, according to a eulogy posted on the Ashdod municipal website. The family settled in Ashdod, where she attended religious schools After finishing school, Naomie followed her older sister Livnat into the world of cosmetology, after years of practicing on her friends. Her family said she loved to travel, loved parties and raves — where she met Oz — and was always singing and dancing. Her childhood friend, Eliahu Cohen, wrote on Instagram that he wanted to thank Naomie “for being a huge part of my life, not a day went by when we wouldn’t meet up and spend time together, there wasn’t a day when you didn’t make me laugh so hard it hurt.” Eliahu wrote that he misses “arguing with you about songs” in the car, getting coffee together, how she would send him his horoscope every morning. “Thank you for turning everywhere we went into one big adventure, from Mexico to Greece or even just going to the mall,” he added. “Thank you for lighting up my life and always giving me the best advice, thank you for always lifting my spirits with your crazy joy for life, that you had until your last moments. Thanks for all the times when I needed you and you showed up for me.” Naomie’s mother, Simona, wrote that she was “memorializing you at every opportunity. Thanks to you I was privileged to have a girl with a pure soul, a huge heart, always loved to help others. You’d always bring all your friends over and style them and do their hair and makeup — it was so important to you that others had more than you.” “You are so very missed… my Nono, mom loves you and misses you, and every day I thank God for giving you to me for 23 years.” May Naomie’s memory forever be a blessing 🕯️show more

Thank you, Kuztom Pitch admins 💛💙 Kuztom Pitch Thank... you for tolerating my silly WhatsApp stickers (I know Stef stef ⋒❀ definitely got a kick out of them 😂), for easing my stress and anxiety, for the cute virtual hugs, and for answering my million questions about microphones — how they work, what a capsule is, what a transmitter is, and everything else in between. Thank you for being there at 1, 2, even 3 AM Bangkok time while it was afternoon in New York and Canada, just to talk with us and tell me for the hundredth time, “It’s okay Bella, everything will be okay.” (Stef, was damn calm wasn’t she?!) Thank you for sharing small, gentle fangirl moments with us, for making us laugh, and for surviving the legendary “WE FORGOT THE CHARGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” crisis together! 😭 And the iconic “the IEMs don’t match!” moment, which fully exposed to Stef and all of you that Bella might be just a little bit OCD 😂 You were genuinely the sweetest admin team to work with, and your offer to stay friends after the project honestly made my heart swell because you really do feel like good friends to us now. Thank you for making this weird girl’s fangirl dreams come true. 🌞🌙 (Stef, isn’t weird so I excluded her from that 🤣). It’s going to feel a little strange not talking to you every day anymore, but hopefully after all of this we can still check in on each other and make new memories together preferably less chaotic and dramatic ones 🤭 I am STILL laughing at your “I thought I did something wrong!?” after I squealed over the case photos you so kindly shared 😭 You are all so loved by me, and when I finally get to Bangkok, I’m absolutely holding you to your promise of giving me that hug. I truly wish your entire team nothing but success in the future. You went above and beyond for us. You worked so hard, stayed up late, answered every question, and always made sure we understood everything clearly. I will never forget how much you looked out for us throughout this entire process. It means the world to me how kind you were to a strange little fangirl like me — and to Stef, who was the calm in my chaotic storm (thankfully you only had to parent me through all of this 🤣 Stef was definitely the chill one in our group). Please take care of yourselves, all of you. Eat well, sleep early when you can, and don’t work too hard, okay? Bella will always worry about you 💛 And I truly hope with all my heart that one day we’ll get to work together again whether it’s future customizations, more microphone chaos, or another impossible fangirl dream somehow becoming real again. ✨ And like you said, this isn’t our end! It’s just one memory in the friendship we formed 💛💙 #JuniorMark #Junniorrs #markjrtsshow more

#ออมกรณ์นภัส #OrmKornnaphat OP “ When attending fmt Chongqing, I... got to see Nong Orm in person for the first time — and it was truly unforgettable. When the host handed her the pen for the camera marker, she received it with both hands and gently thanked to the host. The pen cap fell off, but before she could pick it up, she was called to begin filming. After finishing the camera marker video, she quietly ran back, picked up the pen cap, closed it properly, and returned to sit beside the host . Such a small moment — but it speaks volumes about her character. When I walked over, she was chatting with a fan on the other side. I was so nervous to finally see her that I called her name a few times, and she immediately turned to greet me with the warmest smile. After the photo session, she waved goodbye to our group and gently patted my shoulder. I could feel that she was truly sorry for not having more time to spend with us before the shoot. Even though there were many people around, Nong Orm gave her all during the 1v20 photoshoot. She made the effort to greet every single fan and did her best to fulfill everyone’s photo and “hi-bye” moments, especially when she saw fans holding rice cards. She had taken off her contact lenses, and since she’s very nearsighted, she kept squinting and trying to see what fans were holding in their hands — not just once, but several times. That effort alone was so heartwarming. She respects every staff member and treats each fan who shows up with sincerity and warmth. When the host asked if she had anything to say to everyone, she especially thanked those supporting her online. She understands that many fans can’t attend in person for various reasons, and she also appreciates those who work hard to support her both online and offline. Nong Orm loves us deeply - just as we love her. 💖 - cre : xxlikormshow more

This has got to be one of the BEST... stories in sports card history, and it happened to me this morning. Warning: this story involved a $35,800 transaction, a German wedding, and Lamine Yamal This morning, I woke up and saw a Lamine Yamal /10 Base Prizms Gold NFT for sale on the #PaniniBlockchain for $35,800. I felt that the price was fair and I purchased at 5am. Seconds later, I get a dm from the anonymous seller on Instagram. “Hey this is Brian”. A German guy, few followers. What I learned next is nothing short of f*cking legendary. I’ll let him tell the story from here, and I’ll accompany the epic tale with photo and video proof. Sit down, and buckle up. “Two days before my wedding, the four of us—my best man, my wife, my cousin, and I—went out and bought a few Panini packs together. Just for fun, we agreed that each of us would keep one pack sealed and save it for the wedding day. The plan was to open them together after the ceremony and see what we got. What made it even more special was that my best man had never opened a trading card pack in his life. It was also my wife's first real experience with the hobby. My cousin and I had opened cards before, but none of us expected anything crazy. Our friend from Prime Collectors was there as well. Since he creates card content, he had his camera rolling the entire time, so every reaction you see in the video is completely genuine. After the ceremony, we all sat down and started opening our packs. My best man went first—nothing special. Then my wife opened hers—a few nice cards, but nothing huge. My cousin was next, and again, nothing out of the ordinary. Then it was my turn. I started going through the cards one by one until I saw a flash of gold. The moment I saw it, I knew it could be something big. When I turned the card over, it was a Lamine Yamal Panini NFT numbered 8/10. For a few seconds, nobody said a word. Then everyone completely lost it. You can hear in the video the exact moment everyone realizes what had just been pulled. Even Prime Collectors, who has seen countless incredible pulls, couldn't believe he had just captured that moment on camera. but honestly, the value wasn't the most important part. What made it unforgettable was that it happened on my wedding day, from the one pack I had intentionally saved two days earlier. It's also important to mention that the wedding was already fully paid for, so this wasn't a story about "paying for the wedding" with the card. It was simply an unbelievable coincidence and one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments that you could never plan. Looking back, I honestly don't think I'll ever experience another moment quite like it. On the same day that I married the love of my life, I also pulled one of the biggest cards I've ever held in my hands. That's what makes this story so special.” Panini Americashow more

My husband and I decided to open our hearts... to a 10-and-a-half-year-old dog. We weren't looking to adopt another dog, but when we learned that she had spent three months at the shelter without a single visitor or adoption inquiry, we couldn't bear the thought of her growing old and passing away alone. Although she wasn't with a rescue organization, her story was shared widely throughout the animal rescue community. She was incredibly gentle and sweet, and the shelter volunteers adored her. They loved her so much that they often let her spend time with them in the office instead of leaving her alone in her kennel. The day after we heard about her, we went to meet her. The moment we saw her, we knew we couldn't walk away. When we brought her home, she was covered in ticks. Helping her recover wasn't easy. We made countless trips to the veterinarian, patiently tried different treatments, and devoted a great deal of time to her care. There were moments when it felt overwhelming, but we never regretted our decision. All we wanted was for her to spend the rest of her life surrounded by love. In the end, we received the greatest gift of all. She stayed with us for three more wonderful years before peacefully passing away at 13 and a half years old, an impressive age for a dog. She brought so much joy into our family and will always hold a special place in our hearts. Senior dogs may not have as much time left, but they deserve love, care, and a real home just as much as any other dog. 🐾❤️ 📹treatsnatchershow more

OP sharing her experience during Gumayusi's fanmeeting 💛 This... was OP’s post: Before even buying the ticket, I (already) thought that I might not be able to participate in the hi-bye event. Since I use a wheelchair, I can't go down the stairs. But for me, just being able to see him in person was enough, so I thought it would be okay even if I couldn't participate. However, not long after I entered, a staff member came over first and checked on me. They asked if I had someone who accompanying me, so I asked: 👤: “(In my case) does this mean I won't be able to participate (in the hi-bye)? 🥹” Staff: “Later on, we'll guide you and help you get down there. Don't worry.” At first, I thought there must be some other accessible route, and that I'd be able to get to the aisle near the front row through that. But when the hi-bye event started, a staff member came over and said: 🗣️: “You can just stay right here. Later, he'll come over to this side and do the hi-bye with you.” So, feeling grateful, I stayed in my seat and waited until everyone else had finished. Guma really did come over. (to where OP was) Unfortunately, I accidentally ended up pressing the slow-motion button (I've restored it to normal speed now), so the video quality turned out really bad 🥹 I thought that if he'd come up and pass by really quickly. I didn't even think he'd stop, so I had only prepared one very short line to say. 👤: “This should be enough, right?” But I got so nervous that I stumbled over my words. I wanted to say: “MSI hwaiting!” But instead I ended up saying: “M-se hwaiting!” I'm still sad about that. 🫠 After the hi-bye ended, the staff were about to send Guma off, but suddenly he stopped and gestured saying like to take a photo. The staff exchanged a few words with him, and while I was still trying to process/cannot believe what was happening, one of them said: 🗣️“We'll take a photo for you~” I was already so happy just to have been able to participate in the hi-bye. When they said I could take a photo too, my brain stopped working. He was really so kind!!! I'm so grateful 😭 At first, he just crouched down next to me and wasn't making any hand pose. But I when I copied/did his signature pose out of a habit, and then he copied it too. It was so cute 🥺 This photo made him look too skinny. Compared to the video, it's like (he had) a different body-fat percentage 😆 Lastly, thank you to Gumayusi, thank you to the staff, and thank you to the friend who came with me.show more

oh this will sting so much im not ready... 😮‍💨 #เสน่หาวาโย *SPOILERS* :') . . . "wayo" "blew" "karel told me you wanted to see me" "yes. i wanted to see you once more. not as princess catherine... just as blew. i'm leaving for thailand" "i know. karel told me about the change in your plans. don't worry—he'll handle everything" "so... this is really how our story ends, like a fairytale with no happy ending?" catherine looked into the eyes of the woman who spoke to her in such quiet, broken voice—full of so much unspoken emotion. and in those eyes, she saw the reflection of her own shaken soul. "i'm sorry, wayo" her voice, heavy with guilt and sorrow, fell softly. she lowered her gaze—unable to look at the pain, the disappointment, the heartbreak in wayo's eyes. and part of her was afraid—afraid that her own sorrow, equally deep, would be seen. that the one who loved her most might refuse to let their story end. but they couldn't go on. there was never a path for the two of them to walk together. even if it was brief, catherine would never forget the memories, the feelings that she had never experienced with anyone else before. even if the love couldn't be. even if they couldn't be. she would carry her love for wayo quietly, within the depths of her own heart... "from now on, i want you to live your life well—even without me. and i'll do the same. i'll live and fulfill my duties the best i can" "so you can really forget everything we had?" "no matter how long, i promise i'll never forget the story and memories of phatpha and wind" "is there any way... we can go back to being wind and phatpha?" "i can't be selfish and pursue my own happiness—not when so many lives have been sacrificed. in madelin, i have so many duties i can't turn my back on. at the very least... think of it this way—when helena, the fake princess, left this world... i died in your heart, too. because phatpha is gone from wind's world... and will never return" at last, the truth wayo had dreaded came to pass. all the time she spent waiting, trying to delay the inevitable, had been in vain. she couldn't hold on to the heart she loved or the hand she once held. "you know... it feels like you just broke up with me, blew" "wayo..." "and this love... it hurts more than anything i've ever known. because i got my heart broken... without even being yours" catherine watched tears spill from wayo's reddened eyes, the pain too much to contain. her heart felt crushed—shattered into fragments just as wayo's heart. if the pieces of their hearts were scattered by the wind across this garden, no one would ever know whose heartbreak hurt more. "i love you. this will be the last time i ever say it—even if you never loved me back. goodbye forever, princess catherine" wayo bowed her head in respect to the noble princess catherine, her farewell words cutting deeper into the wounds of her heart—so deep - it was almost unbearable. but life had to go on. just like now, as she forced her weakened legs to move forward, while the princess walked away, back to her rightful place. the distance between them stretched farther with each step until it was far beyond reach. just like their hearts—never meant to walk side by side...show more

I thought a lot in these days to write... about what happened in the past days, but because i saw them already lying (looks like to be liar is their inner nature) i will talk about the bad behavior and disrespect of cpf fans aka #bjyx or #yizhan during the days of mfw. I think everyone can stay outside the shows to see their favorite celebrities but respect should be the main value to follow, you are there for Xiao Zhan, he is doing his work, why are you bringing irrelevant people into HIS JOB EVENT?! Why do you want to push your fanfictions into his face? Why have you to disturb the common order of everyone there? Even people from other fandoms were shocked by their behavior! I will divide everything into 3 chapters - - 25th G show. They found a spot and attach a dirty banner and even G brand staff came out from the event asking to the removal of their disgusting banner and brought it away. I add also video of the fact. The cpf tried also to disguise herself wearing a red jacket, but she was not happy, the moment G brand staff went away with the banner, instead to be ashamed, she brought out new banners, with the visible surname of another person and their yellow colors! She also argued for long with a poor security guy who was really done So are you there for what? To see someone you claim to be fan or just for a selfish pleasure being disrespectful towards xz?!? - 27th we organized a loch special screening in a cinema, we were us xfx + some passerby we invited, the hall was private booked and it was totally filled. But some of them came to the cinema and argued even with the cinema staff! They tried to snatch into a private event and threaten the cinema staff 😱 - 28th T brand even was the worst day. They tried to pick fights since 3 am in between the street 😱 they stole one of our stool, they started to play loud wuji AT 5AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY!!! wth?! This is a disturbance for everyone, it’s not allowed! I had a small group of 4/5 behind me and they screamed to my ears every fk 10/15 min, trying to pick fights with us (we ignored them 95% of the time) and continue to push their luggage toward my friend who wasn’t even allowed to sit down for this! They were so chaotic and such a disturbance that after a while even the security guard in our zone noticed they were weird and started to monitored them closer. At certain time they exploded again and even the security guard was able to contain the she brought out new banners, with the visible surname of another person and their yellow colors! She also argued for long with a poor security guy who was really done So are you there for what?

The Australian government does not deserve our trust, or... our respect. Today, Minister Penny Wong sat back in her chair grappling for words, desperately looking for the right lie to tell. It is worse than dishonest - it is an absolute lack of care. Penny Wong came to this country when she was 8 years old. She came to a country that afforded her the ability to become who she is, and she is now doing her part to destroy it. Back in the 70’s, when she came, Australia was a fair-minded place and a great place to be. Yet here she is... Here in Australia. Undermining our country and lying to our faces. Because she can’t tell the truth. Because if she did, it would destroy any semblance of care for Australia tied to her old party’s Labor brand. It would say the quiet part out loud. The truth. The truth that the Albanese government is more interested in the fortunes of the ISIS brides, women who chose to leave this country to go and fight against our people, than those of us that can’t find or afford a place to live here at home. I am tired of being told how to think by people that completely lack morals and couldn’t care less. People that are elected and paid to operate in the national interest but always put their twisted ethics and back pockets ahead of our nation and our people. I don’t know when Labor stopped caring about Australian workers or worse, when they started hating Australia, but they have and they do. The absolute lack of opposition, the lack of authentic choice has pushed us into a place where these absolute traitors to the interests of the people who pay them - goes entirely unchecked. We are careening out of control, unchecked migration, an energy grid that is just about to collapse, no industry to speak of, and no good reason to start or maintain a business in this place. It happened fast, but those of us who pay our taxes and take risks to make Australia a better place, are being undermined and white-anted by our politicians. The people we are forced to trust, and must pretend to respect, because they have the force of law on their side. Not because they are any good at their jobs. Not because they have earned our affection. No. Simply because they are in charge and there is little to nothing that can be done about it. It is becoming apparent that the two party system has outlived its useful life. Too much corruption, too many words too carefully chosen in a pantomime between to political forces that don’t really want to change anything. They just want to have their go, to have their turn to jam their grubby hands into the till. Surely with this major and catastrophic failure by the so-called Honourable Minister Senator Wong, the people will be able to see through the veil and into the absolute and irresponsible lack of care at the heart of this deceitful Labor government. They lie about everything, and they can, because they don’t have an opposition worthy of the title. I am growing more confident by the day that the only solution to our woes is a new political force, a fresh, Australia first force, that will act in the national interest and put all these corrupt and useless used-car salesmen red and blue in the dustbin of history. It can’t come soon enough. Time is short. I just want Australia back.show more

The moment she pressed her tiny hand to the... glass, something in the room shifted. You could see her whole face light up as if this cold barrier wasn't even there. And for a brief second, the man in the orange uniform forgot where he was, because the little girl staring back at him was his whole world. Caleb had been locked up for a little more than a year after a night that went wrong in every possible way. He never denied what he did. He owned it. But owning it didn't make the weight of missing his daughter any lighter. When he went in, Lila was barely forming her first sentences. Now, at around two and a half, she talked nonstop. She knew colors, she knew songs, and she asked for her dad every morning. His wife, Emery, never missed a visit. She carried Lila on her hip through security, through the metal detectors, through the long hallway that always smelled like bleach. Lila never complained. She always came with the same excitement, the same little bounce in her walk, like today might finally be the day she could hug him. The officer nodded. Caleb stepped forward. The glass was clean enough to see every detail of his daughter's smile. "Hey, my little princess. Daddy's right here." "Hey, Dad." Emery smiled behind her, brushing Lila's hair out of her face. "She talks about you every single day." Caleb swallowed hard, fighting the sting in his eyes. "Love... I love you more than anything in this world, okay? Put your hand right here for me." "I love you too, Daddy." Lila pressed her small palm against the partition. Caleb matched it. Their hands lined up perfectly through the cold barrier, but the feeling was warm enough to break him. She leaned forward, giving the glass a gentle kiss, and he closed his eyes as if he could feel it for real. People walking past pretended not to stare, but moments like this always pull reactions out of strangers. Some see hope. Some see heartbreak. Others don't know what to feel at all, because everyone carries their own idea of what a parent should be and how much a second chance is worth. Caleb didn't think about any of that. He only saw his daughter looking at him like nothing in her tiny heart had changed. The guard signaled that time was almost up. Emery lifted Lila a little higher so her face stayed level with his. Caleb breathed in slow, letting himself memorize every detail. "When I come home," he whispered, "I'll make you proud. Every single day." Lila nodded with a seriousness only small children can pull off, as if she understood more than anyone expected. When they turned to leave, Caleb kept his hand on the glass for a few seconds longer. Not to hold on to them, but to hold on to the promise he'd just made. Anyone who's ever loved a child knows exactly why that moment stays with you long after the room goes quiet.show more

I cannot comprehend what happened today. I literally cannot... wrap my brain around the fact that you’re no longer here. Your last text to me was on Friday night, making a joke about the student driver sticker on my car as my son learns to drive. I had no idea that would be our last laugh together. Matt was so much more than a coworker—he was a close friend for years. Back when I did traffic at WISH-TV, we were constantly texting, bonding over how much we hated getting up early, keeping up with the morning commutes, and building a friendship that only grew deeper over time. We talked about everything: our struggles, spirituality, fitness, and relationships. He became like a brother to me. I will forever cherish our late-night coffee meetups just to talk about life. Matt was actually the one who brought me to WIBC. He told me, “Johnette, these people are amazing and you have to come work here.” By the grace of God, it all worked out. I’ll never forget showing up on my first day and receiving the biggest hug from him. Or how I used to steal his protein bars 😂 Or how he’d be sore from working out, and I’d send him stretching videos because he was always complaining about his hips. When Matt came on my podcast, he was so open about his own struggles that it gave me the courage to share mine. Because of Matt, I found the strength to share my past journey with substance abuse publicly. Today reminded me that at Radio One, we are far more than just coworkers—we are a family. We cried, hugged, and grieved together for a man we all loved and adored. I haven’t been able to stop crying today, and I am still trying to process everything. But I know I’m not alone in this grief; so many of us are feeling the deep void he left behind. Matt, I love you. You will never be forgotten. Thank you for loving all of us so well and for never giving up. You ran the race, and now it’s our turn to carry the torch for you. Until we meet again, I will cherish every single moment we had together. You left a lasting impact on so many lives, and you finished well. 🖤 93 WIBC Indianapolisshow more

YESTERDAY WAS THAT DAY 😊😊😊 A DAY WITH THE... Bolajiogunmolatv 🫶🏽 Have your fav decided to fly all the way just to surprise you? NOOO! So shift back 🤣🤭 I was shocked. It’s very hard to surprise me cos I will always pick up a clue or my instinct will kick in but this time I was legit shocked.. And the fact that she didn’t post in real time for 12 hours so I won’t suspect sealed everything. I was shaking for more than 5 mins. Like how? What! My head wan blow 🤯🤯🤯 When she said “I just came to see you. I came to Abuja for you”… I thought she was whining me but this woman came to my place straight from the airport, spent the day with me and my sisters and left first thing this morning. She didn’t even tell her Abuja friends she was coming just so we can enjoy the day together 🥹🥹. Don’t tell me not to feel special, it’s too late. I AM ALREADY FEELING EXTREMELY SPECIAL 🥰 MY HEAD WAN BURST 🥹🤣 -She came with her brother and was intentional about coming to help me Make content for my brand. His work rate >>>>.. In her words “you gave me your time and that is very important to me”… if you know me, you will know the easiest way to finish me is by supporting my brand 😭🙏🏽🫶🏽 -I have been asking her to send in her measurements for months. Well she came for physical measurements. 💅🏽 -She is such a vibe and holds the best conversation. We were gisting for hours like we knew each other for years.😊 -I got sneak peak of our next YouTube movie and y’all better be ready. Another banger dropping soon 🎉🎉 -Oh! And did I tell you how KIND she is. KIND, GRACEFUL,THOUGHTFUL,HER PRESENCE IS SO SOOTHING AND HER MIND IS BRILLIANT.. She came bearing gifts too. I didn’t even open it cos I was too excited to see her. Will go and open it later today… -SHE IS SOOO PRETTY. OMG! Camera is not doing any justice abeg. Too beautiful and portable. TV definitely makes them look bigger. -Gave her a tour of our 80% done fashion space and she wanted to use hype to finish me. Advised, prayed and encouraged me. -Then we went to watch AJOSEPO the gathering for the 5th time with her. She brought my own personal premiere to me 💅🏽 -Funfact; This was something she didn’t have to do but she did just to show me love. She already messaged me to thank me several times and even chatted on video call and it was very okay. I was always telling her the “Thank you” was enough so you see how this was such a big deal. THANK YOU SO MUCH WIFEY. Yesterday was super special because of you 🫶🏽.. One of the edits her amazing brother did on the spot. 👇🏽👇🏽. He is too good 👍show more
