Hi, I'm Denjo Blake S. Matias of Grade 12 Cottam, 16 years old, turning 17 this July 20

I'm well known in my family as the photographer as they usually give positive comments about the pictures I take.

I love food, especially with the right people. May it be my family or my friends

Speaking of Family, this is them. The people I take inspiration from and learn from. The same people who motivate me to do anything.

These two are my best friends (I got their consent to do this :D) and I love to be around these guys, even if I turn into the thirdwheel which I don't mind, there's benefits after all hehe

I'm pretty sure most people enjoy music, and I do too, but I prefer the old classic music since they hold a deeper much more relatable meaning compared to some songs in this generation

As a pastime, I enjoy playing online games as this helps me escape reality for a bit before I continue what I plan to do. I do enjoy it more when I do it with friends though

As much as I enjoy staying indoors, I also appreciate the serenity, beauty, and calming atmosphere given by nature

I enjoy the unique smell of the sea. The salty scent in the air always finds a way to calm me down and make me relax

Even though I am a Pre-Sci student, I enjoy the beauty of structures made by people as it's something magnificent and appealing to the eye

This is just a small flex, but yeah, this is what my clubmates and I receive after a day in our volunteerism

Don't you just love the view in this picture? The ocean waves crashing against the rock, the soft sway of the trees, the sun slowly lighting the cloudy sky with its light... Well, I love the view too :D

Reading is another alternative to playing games for me, as this is also a way that I can let my imagination run wild and maybe even learn a few new words

As you can tell from how I formed my work, I'm an author or a writer. Either one you prefer is fine with me. This is just a small hobby I do to release some thoughts in my mind or ideas I hold.

Dear Future self, I hope you're well, I hope you've reached your dreams and aspirations in life. Thank you for all your hard work, and keep improving.

My parents were always my light and love. The first time I saw them, I saw them as idols, the people who cared for me, the people who sacrificed for my well-being. They were the ones who really raised me to who I am today, and I'll be forever thankful for what they have done. My parents make sure that nothing harmed me as a baby, taking me to check ups regularly and gave me the neseccary love and care.

I remember the time I first wanted to dress on my own, choose my own things, and have the desire to do what my mind wants. I could walk, talk, and loved to explore as a kid and as odd as it may sound, I was a very active kid when I was young, compared to the more reserved and quiet Denjo now.

This was the time I grew up to be smart, adaptive and understood how things work little by little. I was one of the top achievers of my batch, even skipping up a grade in the process. This is when I had the urge to keep achieving, wanting to always have the top spot, the competetive Denjo that always wanted to be ackowledged.

# data[].attributes.body
From grades 1-6, I studied at Ateneo de Davao University, still one of the achievers, always got honors, well known amongst the teachers but compared to the past, I'm more disciplined and brave, facing challenges and making sure to overcome them in my own way, even if others disagree or don't help me.

# data[].attributes.body
I've grown, not just my age but also my mind, body, and self. I'm more humble, self-aware, and more focused and disciplined than ever, but everyone has been by my side, supporting me all the way despite the challenges I face; they always helped, and I'm forever grateful. I plan to keep going, keep imrpoving who I am and find the best Denjo.

Personal Development has helped me improve and understand myself better by providing lessons on what I'm feeling and experiencing. The key takeaways I got from this subject are that life will always give us challenges, and it's up to us whether we deal with them in a healthy or unhealthy way. The two favorite lessons were Mental health and Family as with this, I understood my own mental state and actions while also learning the effects of family and how they influence my growth.
