    I supposed this year is evidently my first exposure to TV- that was TLC brand- I had seen my picture with a birthday candle number five. When I was in kindergarten my grandparents would switch it on so I could be entertained and would not leave the house in the afternoon- sleeping hours. I know I’ve watched Angel Wings, Pedro Penduko, Tiny Tony and Valentina- and up to now I’m watching Ang Probinsyano.
  • DVD Player

    We often used this DVD player to watch movies and play music videos. I remember watching God’s Must Be Crazy and Jollibee Episodes. And listening to Celine Dion and Shaina Twain's playlist.
  • Radio

    I used to live with the care of my grandparents. Early morning till the sunset the radio is running tuned in Bombo Radio. There’s a lot of entertaining programs until now. Also it offers time check, latest news – be it local or international- and weather check.

    I assumed that Abakada is the first informative textbook the school required every student to read. And then the number of textbooks got higher as I was stepped in higher grade in elementary- more books were required to be read.
  • Letter

    I think the camera we had was Nikon. My mother bought us camera so that we can took photos at the moments she missed and send her pictures sometimes.

    I remember my mother give a Samsung keypad-it was pink- when I was in grade 5. But she thinks that it wasn’t yet an ideal time for me to handle using phone. Then with that I was motivated to study well so I could get my present from her as she promised me.
  • Laptop

    Toshiba, that was my mother’s ownership. And I’m a curious kid who wants to play all the installed games and check all the picture my mother with the sceneries abroad.

    Lenovo IdeaTab, my dear aunt gave me a tablet as a promise. It was really helpful and it really keeps me motivated to study good in school even more.

    When I was in grade 7 we had this subject computer and that was my first time knowing PCs. I was really grateful that I was able to learn the basics that up to now I am using.

    The school yearly distributed school paper every after foundation day. And of course I am interested with the context more importantly I care for the pictures, but I do a little bit reading- or maybe scanning.
  • Internet

    School had been letting us go home carrying a bag full of assignments that involves researching on the net. I can’t ask my aunt abroad -to do this thing and that to her- anymore so my mother buy pocket Wi-Fi.
  • Social Media

    Social Media
    My mother insisted that I should make a Facebook account. But then she was the one who use it and post almost most of the time. I can’t complain she’s my mother. And so, I had heard about Wattpad back then, I was addicted.
  • Flatscreen Led Television

    It was LG brand, of course it was flat and not unlike the old TLC Television we used to have that had a big box on its back. It was more enjoyable to watch because of the quality picture and for the wider screen.
  • Laptop

    My Aunt gave me an Azus Laptop because she saw how I was struggled to go to town just for the requirements that required printed outputs.
  • Touchscreen Phone

    Touchscreen Phone
    I had a Samsung J2 where I used to contact my mother. And report to her instantly what’s going in with my brother. Because by that time she had flew again abroad and I think she think I’m responsible enough to left with the responsibility when in fact I’m really not.

    We used to have accounts with this E-Learning platform- Edmodo - provided by our Biology teacher.

It’s full of amazing learning games to play with- you enjoy then you learned.
