Radio and Television
I remember my parents playing nursery rhymes on our television when I was little. That's when I first started to learn. I've witnessed the evolution of televisions in our world, from box-shaped one to Smart TV. Aside from television, I also grew up with radio because both of my parents love listening to music especially on Sundays. -
Handwritten Letters
My dad used to be an OFW and whenever he's about to leave, I write him letters.This was also the year when I was practicing my writing and drawing skills. source:

Facebook and Twitter
I started creating accounts on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter in 2010. Through these, I was able to reconnect with my old friends and reminisce memories I've shared with them. I was also able to get updates from all the things happening around me. These helped me become aware of the events not only in my country, but around the globe as well. source:

Wattpad
Wattpad kick started my love for reading. I flicked through plenty of fan fictions and young adult books when I first had my account. source:

Nintendo DS Lite
My parents gave me a Nintendo DS Lite as a graduation gift back in 2013. I love cooking so I mostly spent my time playing Cooking Mama and as a dog person, one of my favorites too was Nintendogs where I was able to have a pet dog virtually. -
Instagram
I created an Instagram account back in 2013 because I was such a memory hoarder and it helped me save remembrances. Aside from this, I think Instagram helped me in expressing my creativity through editing photos. -
Smartphone
I got my first Smartphone when I was in Grade 7 and it helped me in many things. I was able to acquire and save information faster and communicate with my family and friends with ease. It was also a big aid in my studies. source:

eBooks
After receiving my first Smartphone, I was able to enjoy reading books with a single swipe. It helped me expand my vocabulary and stirred my creativity and imagination. I enjoyed every free time I had in my hands up until now because of reading using my phone. source:

Laptop
My parents gave me my own laptop this year, 2017, because my brother and I had a pile of work that had to be done and we couldn't manage to finish them all using a single laptop. Also, having my own was a great aid as a Drafting student because we were doing our plates in *AutoCAD which is a drafting software application used to assist in the preparation of blueprints and other engineering plans. sources:
