A Memoir of March 9, 2020
By the time this story has been written, it has already been 4 years since the unprecedented events of 2020 had occurred. Far from the senior journalism student I am today, whose continuous efforts have gradually brought me closer into receiving my diploma through a graduation ceremony, the events told dates back from my final day as a Senior high school student in a private Catholic university named 'La Consolacion University Philippines.' I can assume that with the series of unfortunate events only occurring at the first few months of 2020, I should have predicted what was about to proceed in the next few days, turning months in the long term.

The Myth of the Lone Wolf
There's a tempting charm to the possibility of the solitary individual. The picture of a lone figure, depending entirely on their own solidarity and creativity to accomplish significance, has pervaded stories and societies for a really long time. This conviction - that achievement is ensured by going solo - is many times romanticized, yet as a general rule, it's a recipe for seclusion and, as a rule, stagnation.

Lewis Carroll’s Illustrations for “Alice’s Adventures Under Ground” (1864)
W]hat is the use of a book”, asks Alice in the opening scene to Lewis Carroll’s Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, “without pictures or conversations?” This question from Alice is at once a critique of her sister’s pictureless tome, and a paving the way for the delight of words and images to follow. Indeed, John Tenniel’s famous illustrations — for both the first edition of Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass — have become integral to how we experience the story, in both books and film. Tenniel, however, was not the first to illustrate the tale. That honor belongs to Carroll himself, whose original manuscript of the story (then titled “Alice’s Adventures Under Ground”) is littered with thirty-seven of his own sepia-ink drawings. It seems this entwining of word and image — so important to the published version — was there from the beginning.

The Cabman’s Story: The Mysteries of a London “Growler”
We had to take a “growler,” for the day looked rather threatening and we agreed that it would be a very bad way of beginning our holiday by getting wet, especially when Fanny was only just coming round from the whooping cough. Holidays were rather scarce with us, and when we took one we generally arranged some little treat, and went in for enjoying ourselves. On this occasion we were starting off from Hammersmith to the Alexandra Palace in all the dignity of a four-wheeler. What with the wife and her sister, and Tommy and Fanny and Jack, the inside was pretty well filled up, so I had to look out for myself. I didn’t adopt the plan of John Gilpin under similar circumstances, but I took my waterproof and climbed up beside the driver.
