Hello!

My name is Cassandra Nicole C. Sonido (in full), but people usually call me Cass for short.

Or Cas, if you’re too tired to write to s’.

# data[].attributes.body
I am currently 16 years old. I was born on February 7, 2024.

I don’t really believe in luck, but if I were to have a lucky number, it would be 7.

I have a sister. As much as I love her, I am regrettably the oldest sibling.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t really have a lot of nicknames, but they usually fall into two categories.

There's decent:

Cass, Cassie, Nicole, Icol, Cassidy, etc.

Then there's atrocious...

Nigol, Casilyas, Casserola, Casrol, Four-eyes, Miss Minchin, to name a few

(I don't think they're that bad though, they're just annoying to say the least).

I have two! A dog, Leo, and a cat, Muru

As hard as it is, I’d probably choose the ocean. The beach is one of my favorite places, it makes me feel calm. Not only that, it's packed with a lot of nostalgia from childhood memories! Terribly enough though, I started to develop seasickness recently…

# data[].attributes.body
I already mentioned the beach, but there’s a few more. I like my bed, personally. I also enjoy going to quiet places such as gardens and libraries. I like traveling too, but I don’t really get to travel much. Here are a few of the places I have already visited (Japan, Bohol, Enchanted River)!

# data[].attributes.body
From a young age, I have always been interested in singing and my family encouraged me to do so. I was rather shy though, so I wasn’t really able to go around and showcase my abilities until recently. Now, I am part of the Ateneo Blue Band club here in ADDU SHS, where I got to perform for the CTK Theme Song this year (2024), and in Himig! Here are the bands that I am in (Middle Child, Yaw Meng).

# data[].attributes.body
Not only that, I am a worship leader at our church! I was so happy to be able to do this since it was a big responsibility, but I am thankful to be given this opportunity to serve God and the people in my church this way.

# data[].attributes.body
I also enjoy listening to music! I dabble in pop, jazz, indie, and a lot more. I do hope that one day, I’d be able to make music and probably also learn a new instrument, like the bass.

# data[].attributes.body
I also enjoy making playlists for different situations! Here are a few of my Spotify Playlists.

# data[].attributes.body
Wave To Earth, Bruno Major, Laufey, Clairo, Faye Webster, Thuy, Elevation Worship, Newjeans

# data[].attributes.body
One of my biggest hobbies (and passions, I guess)! I’ve always enjoyed drawing and sketching (both traditionally and digitally) since I can remember, and I’m constantly learning new things to improve my art. Sadly though, I don’t really get to do much of it due to the busy schedule.

# data[].attributes.body
I also like to look and discover new art styles and paintings! I particularly like art in the style of Claude Monet, Yoneyama Mai, and Kotteri, to name a few.

I like lilies. I think they smell like those CR air fresheners and I think that’s neat. They also look pretty, so that's a plus!

I love my family to bits. Here’s my Dad, Mom, and Sister!

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
My Lola! She's the best. I owe everything to them.

# data[].attributes.body
My parents worked overseas when I was little. My Grandmother and Grandfather, who I see as my second parents, took care of me and my sister during that time. My uncle, who we also saw as a father and older brother figure, also took care of us along with them. I love them very much!

# data[].attributes.body
Me and my cousins from my dad’s side were raised like siblings. We are extremely close. I’m not as close to a lot of the ones on my mom’s side, but I love them a lot too.

# data[].attributes.body
My family is my everything.

# data[].attributes.body
I love my friends a lot, and I love spending time with them. I’m grateful for their lives, they have truly made my life much more colorful (that sounds cheesy…)

# data[].attributes.body
Jesus is my greatest inspiration. He has been my strength and my peace. He is my reason to keep pushing through life, He is my purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
My family stands as one of my biggest inspirations too. I am a product of all the love they have given me, and I want to make them proud.

# data[].attributes.body
Consistent honors, and graduated both grade school and junior high school successfully! I don’t really like to go around and talk about my achievements, but these have really been a large milestone for me.

Why do I like these media?

I enjoy consuming and participating in these media as they give me the opportunity and the platforms to connect with people and discover new things. Not only that, but they are also my source of inspiration and entertainment in my daily life, which has dramatically impacted my lifestyle in one way or another. These media, such as social media, music, literature, and art, have all been deeply intertwined with who I am, allowing me to express myself to my fullest potential.

# data[].attributes.body
How are these media affecting me? Is this healthy?

I think that these media are impacting me in both positive and negative ways. I would say that it affects me positively as it fosters my interests and growth, not only in terms of hobbies but even in day-to-day situations that require media use (such as in school, at home, and other examples). It has made me more confident in my behavior, helped me discover new things about myself, and helped me learn about the world and the happenings around me. Media has genuinely helped me in so many aspects of my life. Despite this, it still does have its opposing sides. Media can become a distraction for me, preventing me from doing or focusing on important tasks as it would cause me to procrastinate. Not only that, the media has placed unhealthy mindsets on me, such as low self-esteem and a false perception of a lot of things. In conclusion, the media has been a double-edged sword for me, which comes to the retrospective on the importance of balance in media consumption.
