Hi! I'm Gabrielle Jay B. Remedios, but I go by my nickname Gaby. I am part of the STEM Pre-Engineering and Architecture strand. I have a huge interest in different forms of art, such as music and visual art. Besides that, I am determined to explore different things even those out of my comfort zone and to know what I truly am and what I can do.

One of my main hobbies ever since I was younger was painting. While growing up, I had always consumed different media to enhance my skills in painting. Viewing art and its process really gives me comfort, relaxation, and a moment to be able to think and observe in silence. This allows me to practice understanding, empathy, and just allow me to feel and resonate with other visions and perspectives. With the internet, I can easily look up different photo references and art on different platforms, but mostly on a platform called Pinterest. Art and its existence and the fact that I can easily access it is one of the most things I am really grateful for. Below are my top 3 artworks from 2023-2024!

Music has a great impact on everyone, including me. Whether I'm outside, at school, or even just at home studying, I always find time to add music while I do different tasks. Although I have different genres of music I like to listen to on a daily basis, I specifically like hip-hop, pop, K-Pop, RnB genres and a bit of Jazz too. One of the many music artists that I listen to the most is BTS, a Korean boy band. They release a wide range of genres of music which I really enjoy, in different platforms such as Spotify and Youtube which I also use a lot.

One of my guilty pleasures are definitely print cartoons. If I were to be honest, I really like reading, but just with pictures and visuals. One of the ongoing print cartoons I read is 'After School Lessons for Unripe Apples'. Despite its title, its a heart-warming and nostalgic story that just gives me comfort, laughter, and a few tears. This story specifically allowed me to perceive growth and relationships as something that really builds us as a person, and how life is the little things that we encounter and do.

The curled up sleeping cat is Wacky, our family cat. My feed often shows me cat videos that shows me adorable cats and even tips on how to take care of them. This media I consume on a daily basis helps me find comfort and learn things about my beloved pets that can also help them live properly. From the cat videos I often watch, it only makes my love and care for animals grow and value their existence.

From art, music, print cartoons, and short video clips of pets, I like consuming these media daily because of how it affects my growth, development, and how these media cater to what I need and want. Media such as art and music allow me to express myself and take inspiration from different works to also create. Secondly, print cartoons and Tiktok videos/reels allow me to relax, be entertained, and even be guided in what I do. This shows that I consume these different media because of how it affects my growth, development, and how it caters to my needs and wants, observing that it positively influences me to a more fulfilling and peaceful life. These different medias influences me to a more fulfilling and peaceful life because of how they inform and entertain me. Consuming media I like and need allow me to become independent with the skills I learn from the media, allows me to relax and be comforted by seeing and doing my interests. Overall, the media that one consumes and navigates can deeply impact/influence one's life because of how it continues to feed on what they need and take interest in.
