I had to put this first because these people are the people who made me feel what a true family is. This is what is like to have a second family and a home where you can enjoy. We're open in a sense that we can count on each other. The title cannot be changed and could not be taken away from all of us. We support, understand and care for every individual in this class. I love this class and we should motivate, encourage one another to be better at what we do and have fun!

Probably in the next 5 years I'll be graduating in college with the course of fine arts or anything related in arts. And I'll be finding my own work that I like and enjoy. Probably a graphic designer, an Architect or a musician probably a teacher.

In the next 10 years I'll probably have a stable and operating job that would sustain my family and have a living to keep me from moving forward. I hope I'll be able to overcome future challenges in order to be successful in my life.

If there would be additions or changes in my life, I would not change any. Why? Because I like the way it is. I wouldn't be able to learn from my mistakes if I changed them or made them too perfect. I made my mistakes as a ladder to improve and motivate myself to become a better person today.

My birthday is on October 15, 2000. I was born in Medical City in Mandaluyong City. When I went out on my Mom's womb, my body was not healthy like this in the picture. I was as small as a 1.5 liter Cola bottle and weighs below than an average sized baby. But me and my Mom was very fortunate to survive my birth and become a happy little kid.

These are the people who helped me and shaped me into the person who I am today. I am the oldest among us three. My sister is about a year younger than me. And after 10 years, my little brother was born.

My mom was this person who told me to be a wise and respectful person. She fills in the necessities same as my dad. They help out each other to sustain our family's needs. She was not this kind mother-type that would cheer you up in situations you find tough. She gives you words that are hard to swallow as a kid and understand what's best for you to learn and the proper guidance and discipline I needed in my life's path.

My dad is that person who fills out the things that our whole family needs. He was this guy that I look at in becoming a mature man and he's here to support us in our school homework or projects through out the years. He is the most understanding father I have known in my lifetime. He helps you out when you're down and brings you up in times you needed guidance.

We grew up together teasing, fighting and irritating each other, yet we help each other out in needed times. We inspire together to be better at what we do. She is the girl in the photo with me holding hands during graduation. We both taught each other life changing lessons and admiration's we aspire. She is that person I still need to protect in need and time of hardships we go through.

My little brother has been the source of my energy when it comes to school, at home, and everywhere I go. He's this young fella who really never runs out of energy. He encourages me to do things that are my weaknesses and strengthens me everyday. And he mostly loves to draw and dance whenever he hears music. And he is 1st honor too in school.

Our first formal family picture. This was on December 31, 2012. We were suppose to wear all red but my dad didn't have any red shirt so he went with black since our shirts had black accents and same with my mom. She had no striped shirt so she had to wear all red. But it looks nice and cool that this was our first family picture.

This is Joshua, we were best buddies when we were kids up until now. Her mom and my mom were also best friends when they were kids. Joshua studies at Mapua Institute of Technology in Manila. He's a year older than me. But he is already in his 3rd year in college. We grew up together for 6-7 years. We had a lot of similarities. We both love collecting Transformer toys, Bakugan, and playing online games and helped me appreciate the time we had

This is Sarah. She's been with me since August of 2014. We first met in our School Fair last February 2014. She has been a very supportive, motivational inspiration for me even back then when we were still friends. She influenced me in music, dancing and arts that showed me the way on how to grow as a good person even we don't go to the same school anymore. But the presence of love and support will never fade

This was my first memory in going to my grandparent's house in Laguna. But my parents told me my Lolo and Lola were the ones who took care of me when I was still a baby. They were the benefactor in my life and motivation to keep moving forward.

The first year in school was fun, but the first day in school was amazing. I still remember it till this day. It was the first time I learned how to socialize with other people that I have never met before. School was this place to understand that this is only the beginning of your journey. My second home. And through out the years it helped me to reflect on myself today, and have fun for what's left on my youth. I thank  my previous teachers and Alma Matter that gave me a lot of memories to cherish knowledge that I made as a stepping stone to be successful.

Our first time going to a different country and place that we've never been and seen before. The trip was awesome we had to go to landmarks that are sacred and special. We had to look at the scope of the place and take photos that are cool.

This was our first time going to Ilocos. It was last summer of 2014. And this was also the first time we have met our ARTATES relatives be and seeing them. Especially my grandpa (My Father's Uncle) after my grandpa passed away last October of 2013 (My Dad's Father) It was a moment to remember and a memory to cherish.

Going to Singapore was also the most memorable trip as our family enjoyed going to Universal Studios and such. And we had a great time in that place.

This was my first ever band. I really wanted to showcase my talent with these guys, Patrick, John and Aeronne. We formed a band to show what we can do. Before our performance, we were anxious yet excited to play for the first time. Our first experience. After that it gave us a lesson even though we didn't won the contest, it helped. boost our confidence and play every year. Unfortunately Patrick left the band to go the UK. Only the Three of us were left. He was our vocalist and John. Patrick was the one who helped maintain our orderliness and discipline in performing especially in practice. Then the next band battle arrived.

This was our first time joining the contest and performing in front of many people but it was worth it as that experience helped us out to be better at what we do.

The next band battle came and we added two new weapons in our band's arsenal. The most essential one is the bassist and a pianist. 4G didn't have a bassist nor a pianist. Only a rhythm and lead guitar, and a drummer. Luis and Mark were added. They were also eager to join the band, we added them to make our tones more emphatic and sound complete. John was the only rhythm guitar player and me as a lead guitarist fulfilled the role of Patrick, leading the band in organizations and practices that we needed in our to make our performance feel full and lively.

Another member added to the mix. This was the most complete band we ever had. We had to catch each other's role to keep it maintained and rolling. Justin the one with the glasses is the main rhythm guitarist. Now John had to be the backup rhythm guitarist and our main vocal so they had to switch roles if someone makes a mistake (if ever) but they didn't. I am still the lead guitarist, Aeronne being the drummer, Luis as a bassist and Mark as the pianist. This was the most complete band unit we ever had since Patrick left. But Patrick was the one who founded our group and the one help put the group together. He's seen us perform through videos in Facebook and we kept him updated most of the time. Other than that we were good.
