This is the most important date of mine, when I was born. -
Luckily, I was born with a supportive auntie, a photographer. She always tend to capture me and my parents' beautiful moments using her digicam and then eventually print it out and compile it in a photo album. -
During these years (2005-2008), tita Carol who is a nursery teacher, takes home some flashcards from school and use them to teach me the alphabet, numbers, and basic shapes. Even I was just 2-4 years old that time, they always encourage me to memorize those things because they were so excited for me to attend school. -
I spent these years studying about letters, reading basic words, numbers, and recognizing shapes.

When I was 6, my grandmother who consistently goes to church during Sunday reads the bible with me, she taught me some familiar bible verses as well as the importance of attending church. I am so thankful with her words because honestly, up to now, I love going to church and the best part for me is listening to the homily. -
When I turned 7, me and my cousins used to play near the Laguna Lake. And because of my enjoyment, I always go home crying because I got some scratches. My father brought us a flatscreen television for me to stay at home. Me and my sister loved watching cartoons like Dora d' Explorer, Spongebob, Doraemon and etc,. Watching TV also served as our bonding. -
I started school at 8, my mom was so happy and excited for me and bought me my school supplies. 2011 is the year when I saw some posters about schooling; tarpaulins about enrollment, posters encouraging students to study well, rules and regulations, and etc,. -
I enjoyed it without the help of gadget.

While studying, my mind became interested with news. I always read my grandfather's newspaper and listen to the radio during weekend. I always share knowledge to my classmates about what I've read. -
My journey during elementary was good, I met a lot of kids and most of them became my friends. I wanted to be with them always because we are enjoying every second when we are together. I get bored when I am at home but I had no choice. I started reading newspapers, books, and magazines to kill boredom and also, to gain knowledge. -
When I graduated elementary, my mother bought me an android phone as a gift! I was so happy because finally, I got what most of my classmates have. And I was so sure that my highschool life would be easier when you have a phone, you can use this in researching or taking snaps of the lectures. -
My mother got a nice job when I was in highschool. We used to go to the mall during weekends to buy our needs and also, to watch cinemas. -
I discovered social media in my Junior High School journey. During recess time, me and my friends always go to the corridor to eat our snacks and to watch short movies using Youtube. Plus, my friend made me a Facebook account. That time, I just realized that social media really gives a different kind of entertainment. -
I thought I was contented using Facebook and Youtube until I was able to use my mother's laptop. I just discovered more social media apps like Instagram, Twitter, Viber, Telegram and etc, I created my own account with each of them! And honestly, I enjoyed it. -
Unfortunately, Corona Virus spread in the year of 2020. Everyone has to stay at home and follow all the protocols to prevent the virus. Schools are also closed so we have to study online. I had no choice but to follow the government. I spent my whole time at home, attending classes, using phone and laptop, watching televisions, reading books, listening to radio, and sometimes do exercises. -
The Enhanced Community Quarantine is AGAIN implemented so we have no choice but to stay at home and continue studying online.
