Hi my name is Manuel! I was born on June 24, 2008. I like to play games and sports, especially when I'm really passionate about it.

When I was very young, I watched movies like Kung Fu Panda and Karate Kid. I got really into it and asked my dad if I can be just like them! so then he got me a personal trainer to teach me Karate. Even though this challenged me to become disciplined, I really enjoyed this sport and I am grateful for every minute learning this sport

This was my trainer and he taught me so much more than just Karate. He taught me life skills and to appreciate life as a kid because I'm the youngest I'll ever be again. Although around 6+ years ago he sadly passed away, but he will always be my Master Shifu.

I still remember this day so clearly and I remember meeting my 1st ever group of friends

This was my group of friends for 6+ years. I spent most of my childhood playing with them and those times were the most fun moments I've had in my entire life. I still do talk to them today, and I see them in school but back then was the peak of our friendship.

Here's my Dad! He's 55 years old and is a Surgeon. I am beyond grateful that I have a dad like him. He's always there to take care of us and provides everything we need. He will always be my idol in life and I'm following his footsteps. It's like he knows all the solutions to every problem and always has a way to make every one of us smile. My Dad is a smart and hardworking man, he will always be there for us through the thick and thin and I love him very much.

This is my Mom! She's 51 years old and is an Obstetrician. She is the only mom that I'll ever ask for in life. She is always there to support me and she is my #1 fan. Without her, I can never be myself and she is the ear I need to speak to in every situation. She will always be there to love me and she is a really good mom. I love her dearly and I am so so thankful that God gave me this mom.

This is Ate Aiko, my cool Ate. She's turning 23 years old, hilarious, and very loving. She recently passed the board exam for nursing and helps me manage my time. She always cares for me and worries about me when I go somewhere and she doesn't know where I am. She is very kind to me and really good at the Ate role. She went to school in Manila for a long time but now she is here in Davao to stay, but when she goes back to Manila, I'll go there soon because I'll take college there. So I am excited to go there because I know we will bond and have a good time there. I love her very much and am happy that she is my Ate.

This is my little sister Pia! She always cares for me and I always protect her from the bad guys. I will always be her kuya and I teach her stuff that I've learned. Although we don't play together as much since we grew up already, but sometimes I try to find the time to play with her since I want her to have as much fun she can have while she is still young. I take care of her and make sure she's okay all the time because I love her so much. I'm grateful I have a little sister especially because she is my little sister.

This is Ate Mika, my very smart Ate. She is 24 years old and is already a nurse but she is currently studying medicine. She is my oldest Ate and teaches me math sometimes. She likes anime and told me to watch anime too, so then I watched it and then got hooked to it. She is loving and caring to me and I am so thankful I have an Ate like her. She is currently in Cebu and I'll get to see her soon so I am really excited. I love my Ate very much and she loves me too!

This is the sport that I keep dearly in my heart. I love this sport so much because this is where I take my anger out, my passion in this as a kid was insane. I played in grade school and in JHS 2 or 3 times a week. This sport taught life skills and made me work hard to where I am now. I am grateful I played and learned the "beautiful game" of the world.

During the Pandemic I played Valorant, a game that is mentally challenging since you can only really start improving with a good mentality and passion. I was able to reach a really good rank because I grinded the game a lot and played with people that were really good, which got me to immortal. Now I'm not as good anymore but if there's another pandemic, I'll surely get to it again since I'll have a lot of time to play.

These are my friends, I have a lot more but I can only put so much. I truly am grateful for these friends because they get me through the day. I hang out with them almost everyday and we learn everything together. They all have a special place in my heart. They are like the brothers I never had and I have the funniest and most memorable moments with them. I am truly blessed to have friends like these.

The media I consume, from online games like Valorant and YouTube to social platforms and entertainment channels, resonates deeply with me because they offer a mix of relaxation, excitement, and opportunities for connection. Gaming, for instance, not only entertains me but also lets me bond with friends and sharpens skills like strategic thinking and teamwork. Similarly, I enjoy following football content, which aligns with my passion for self-improvement and playing the game.

These media heavily influence my lifestyle, aspirations, and behavior. Gaming helps me unwind and connect socially, while football media motivates me to stay consistent in believing in my dreams and striving for personal growth.
