I used to sneak past my sleeping mom during siestas to watch TV. I was actually amused of how heavy this model of TV was. -
Even as a kid, I have always preferred tangible books that had images. So when I would get scolded for watching too much Magic English, I would instead read colorful encylopedias such as this to avoid getting so bored. -
My mom bought all volumes of Disney's Magic English and I would watch it so often. So often that I mastered English because of these CDs. What I was not pleased of was the CDs are quite sensitive, they have to be held by the middle and the edge to not get it scratched. But of course, since I was a really careless kid, I broke a couple of them. -
I first encountered this when I was bored and rummaging through our cupboards. My father used to have this model of a mobile phone. Although I barely remember my overall experience with it but I do remember I was fascinated by its size. -
Of course, before we had my younger brother, I used to be an only child. My parents would not trust the house with me for I was too extroverted for my own good. So, my parents would bring me to their offices from time to time. So, yes, I first encountered computers through my parents. I get so entertained from borrowing the computers that I would be eager to go to their offices just to use them. -
My mom used to own a phone with this model. I would annoy her so I could borrow this phone to play Snake. I used to be skilled at texting messages with this phone since my mom would dictate the content of the texts she would tell me to send to her colleagues or friends. -
My father received a laptop from their office, mainly for work purposes. But at home, I would mostly catch my father playing war games like Red Alert on his laptop. It reached to a point that I inspect the stuff he brings at home, expecting to bring the laptop with him. He usually brings his laptop home during fridays for the weekends. Thus, my mother would scold me if I use his laptop for far too long. -
My mom had a colleague make a Facebook account back then. My younger self initially thought it was a literal book of faces but of course, I was somewhat mistaken. I used to play a lot of games through it back then. -
This is one of the many applications that my mom was annoyed with because I would watch too many videos. I would rewatch music videos I previously watched in Myx or MTV through YouTube. -
One of my aunts managed to convince me to read novels, despite me not having much interest in them. The first novel I have read was this particular Nancy Drew novel. It was interesting because it was investigatory fiction. It had illustrations, too. Although I got frustrated because it only had a few drawings but nonetheless, the plots got me slightly hooked. -
Though magazines are colorful, I get annoyed of reading through them because they do not appeal to me, especially the mainstream magazines for adults. So, when I first came across TotalGirl, I was pleased. But it did not last that long. -
I initially made a Twitter account because my cousin would nonstop rant about 5sos and how much news about them she finds there. I only realized how to properly use the social media platform roughly two years after I initially made an account -
I initially downloaded this social media platform because a second cousin of mine, who has also become one of my best friends, made me do it. I deleted it because I did not know its relevance until early 2018, for it is a great place to store pictures without ruining the qualities. -
After successfully achieving 90+ grades for all of my subjects for at least 3 quarters when I was in 8th grade, my parents finally bought me my first ever smartphone. At first I was pleased at how big the screen seemed though being a small smartphone. But as time passed, I struggle with how little its original storage is and how it kept rejecting the SD card. -
Since my old phone was close to being useless due to how many times it would malfunction and how broken the screen was, my mom finally decided to buy me a new smartphone. It has so many advantages. It has great storage, it does not take a long time to charge, its size and numerous features are impressive and I benefit so much from it. I am truly pleased with it. -
I only got to use Netflix when my mom was convinced by a colleague that it is a great platform to watch movies and shows. But I am annoyed because there are a lot of movies and series I want to watch that are either omitted from Netflix or have never been added in Netflix.
