    let's start off with the ultrasound apparatus!
    As early as 2001, I was introduced to this type of technology. The Ultrasound apparatus was used in order for my mother and father to see my development inside my mother's womb. Through the help of this technology, my family was able to see a live image of myself. It also helped detect if I had some problems regarding my heart, liver and a whole lot more.

    the year of developing pictures
    Since I am still the only child that time, my mother and I usually take photos so that we could send it to my father abroad. Internet and social media was still unknown to us that's why we develop pictures instead of uploading it on Facebook. Through it, we were able to write letters and short descriptions at the back of it. That's one of the only available way of communication with my father.

    the beauty of colored television
    When I was 3 years old, I was so fond of watching cartoons in our television. What makes it more exciting is the fact that I am able to see colors in it! I was amazed by the visuals and the variety of hues. The cartoons helped me a lot in learning how to speak and write in English at an early age.

    kring..kring..kring, telephone here!
    One of the two reasons as to why my father and I were able to communicate even if he's working abroad was because of the telephone. It really made the situation easy for us. I would always run as it rings so that I would be the first one to hear my father's voice. FUN FACT: The main reason why I have braces right now is because of the telephone. I tripped while running as soon as the telephone rang . My front teeth broke because of my carelessness.

    once upon a time, story books came into my life
    Storybooks play an important role in every kid's childhood life. They contribute in helping us learn about the formation of words and sentences. I could still vividly remember the very first story book that I was able to read properly. It's a Dora themed one. I was so proud of myself when I first read it, I even bragged about it to my relatives when they come in our house.

    Before, my source of entertainment were only story books, televisions and toys. Later on that year, cellphone was introduced to me. Nokia 3210 was the first cellphone I was able to use and play. At an early age, I was able to learn how to play the games on it, I was also taught how to compose a message even if some spellings were incorrect. It was such a great experience because this is my first exposure with advanced technology.

    our first not too personal, personal computer!
    As seen on the picture above, our very first computer set was bought in 2007. I was so excited to use one because during time, computers were such a boom because of different computer games and social platforms. When I first used it, I was so fond of playing the pinball game and even the david vs. goliath one! A computer comes in different sizes but we only both the simple yet efficient one.

    the wonders of Y8 online games
    y8.com is a site where people of any age can play a wide range of games. When I was 6 years old, I love playing dress-up and decorating games. It was so much fun and my eyes were really amazed with the visuals and graphics. This made my childhood really exciting. There came a point that I was so addicted to it, my mother got mad at me for playing at such a long time.

    yahOoooOOO! messenger
    Yahoo Messenger is like the grandmother version of Facebook Messenger. The stickers, the games, the way you can voice and video chat at different intervals is perfectly the same with the Facebook version, but older. This application helped me strengthen the bond that I have with my elementary friends. We would often talk and play games at the same time. I really had so much fun using it because of the features it had.

    the friendbook year: friendster and facebook duo
    I didn't exactly know the reason why I made Friendster but my friends encouraged me to make one. Basically, it's just a social media site where you can make friends and you see their posts. I didn't like how simple the features were that's why I switched to Facebook. There, I was able to play different games, I was able to talk and converse with my family and friends. It even has a feature of posting pictures and sharing posts. Facebook is indeed better than Friendster in my opinion.

    Both PSP and DS are portable game console that were really fun and exciting to use. It has games that made you play with other players that it much more enjoyable. Diner dash, Luxor, Mario Bros. and Tekken are my childhood life. My whole life evolved around these games. It helped enhanced my hand and eye coordination, I also learned a lot from it.

    legendary year of laptops
    With the use of Laptop, I was able to move in different places while using it. It was really helpful for someone like me to switch and stretch because I am able to change places. I am not that type of person to stay at one place for such a very long time. I am glad that this was created, it was really cool and new to me. It's a high-tech gadget that I seriously commend others to buy.

    lesson worth a lifetime: samsung version
    The very first cellphone that my parents bought me was the Samsung Galaxy one. Unfortunately, while I was on my way home from a girl scout ceremony I realized that my phone was not with me. I think I misplaced it somewhere in our school. It made me realize the importance of it. After that incident they only bought me a small one. Now, my parents bought me an iPhone because I'm pretty sure they trust me with it after learning my lesson.

    In 2016, I made an Instagram account so that I could post pictures. I immediately installed one because it was in demand that time. Up until now, I am still using it to post pictures that I find really post-worthy. It also helped me see what other people are doing in an aesthetically pleasing way.

    snapchat: streaks and stories
    This year, Snapchat really made it's way up my social media list. Snapchat is an application where you can post and update people on what you are doing everyday. It also has some features where you can streak (send pictures everyday) and you can earn trophies from doing a lot of things. It really is fun and exciting to use because you can modify the things that you post. I love it so much!
