Hello there! I'm Ernestie Tacugue, almost like Ernesto, right? Well, it happens to be almost twinning with Ernesto, my dad's name. Now, here's the plot twist: my birth certificate initially declared me as male on my birth certificate, but my gender on paper was changed later on. My near-alter egos are Ernesta or Ernestie Faye, sweetly derived from my mom's name, Fe. As the youngest in a group of five, the big age gap often makes me feel like I'm on a separate timeline, trying to catch up with our shared familia experiences. They love to sprinkle and throw the term "ampon" into their stories, but hey, I've grown accustomed to it, considering it is another quirky chapter in our family tale. No biggie. It's all part of the family saga! When they're feeling all mushy, it's "baby nestie" or "ruthing gamay" time, especially since the latter is a heartwarming nod to my late grandma, Lola Ruth.

Allow me to introduce the 𝓣𝓪𝓬𝓾𝓰𝓾𝓮 𝓕𝓪𝓶𝓲𝓵𝔂, my wonderful and occasionally quirky bunch. We're just a simple family, but here's the fun part: I have a half-brother I've only met twice. He's now a seaman with a family of his own.

Now, let's talk ages. My oldest brother is 31, the second one is 29, then comes my sister at 25, and the next is 24. This age gap is the reason they tend to baby me a bit too much, and honestly, I don't like it.

So, here's the scoop on me - I was an accident. My mommy and daddy were already on the older side when I came into the picture. Only Mommy and I were left in the house when I was still a kid. Sometimes, visitors would drop by on Saturdays to check on my mom and dad. Every time, without fail, they'd ask me, "Asa imong lola Fe or asa imong lolo Ernin langga?" And, of course, I'd just laugh and answer like it was the most normal thing in the world.

Fast forward to the present, and here I am, a "tita" to relatives who are older than me. On my dad's side, where there are a dozen siblings, it's a bit of a puzzle. We just exchange awkward smiles every time we see each other. Who's a cousin, who's a pamangkin, who's the tita? It's like a family guessing game, and I’m just playing along with the mystery.

Oh, yes National STF2022, Picture this: I was the lone grade 9 competitor surrounded by a sea of grade 12s. Can you believe it? I certainly couldn't!

At first, I thought, "Okay, I'll just represent Davao Region, and that's my victory right there." I knew I was up against tough competition, especially being the only junior among seniors. Unsurprisingly, I didn't clinch a spot in the top 3. But you know what? I'm still incredibly grateful for the opportunities that came my way during that experience. It was a game-changer for me, and hey, in Panabo, we believe: "Basta Panabo, Panalo!"

I've always had this thing for makeup; it's like therapy for me. Even as a kid, I would constantly gaze at myself in the mirror for no reason at all. I guess you could say I was gandang ganda sa sarili. It felt like I couldn't breathe if I didn't catch a glimpse of myself. Whenever we went out, I had to check myself in the mirror. My dad would give me this look as if he was exhausted by my mirror-checking habit, but deep down, I knew I was his favorite daughter (I mean, I am the youngest, so it's a balanced joke).

My makeup journey began with just a Fit Me concealer and a Pink Flash lippie, but oh boy, did it escalate quickly. Now, I've amassed quite a collection of makeup goodies. It's safe to say, I'm hooked!

Ah, let me take you back to the time when I was in Grade 9, all pumped up for the RSTF 2022 competition. Man, that event was massive! I still vividly recall the nerve-wracking defense phase, facing a panel from USEP, Ateneo, and LPU. We had a mere 5 minutes to present our research and another 5 minutes for defense. Talk about pressure!

I'll admit, during the defense, I was in shock. Just one super short question? I was on the verge of tears, thinking, "Is this it? Am I about to lose?" But lo and behold, when they announced the top 5, I found my name on the list. Cue the happy dance!

Now, here's where it gets interesting. During the awarding ceremony, I decided to follow some pamahiin. You know, tapping my feet on the ground before entering, wearing a red panty, sliding a 5-peso coin into my shoe, and refusing to step foot in the CR. Call me superstitious, but hey, it worked!

Guess what? I snagged the biggest awards - Best Research Paper and Best Presenter for the individual category. It's funny how I used to think research competitions were this exclusive, high-stakes thing, but looking back, I realize maybe I had a bit of beginner's luck on my side. Always keeping that memory as my lucky charm!🦋🧿

Aw, Samyang has been my forever love since I was a little munchkin! My favorite dish has to be liver with egg! 🕺💃 But, oh boy, I've got a bit of a soft spot for soft drinks and junk foods too. Guilty as charged! 🙈

On a not-so-fun note, I've had my fair share of visits to the hospital because of UTIs. Yep, multiple times. Oops! 😅 Gotta watch out for those tempting treats, right? Health first, they say! 😇✨

In the realm of academics, I'm a firm believer in destiny. My journey began at PCNHS, where I managed to accumulate several awards. Among them, my proudest moment was clinching the regional champion and best paper presenter titles at the RSTF2022 during my grade 9 year. It was a sweet victory, even amidst the challenges of online competition due to the pandemic. The whole experience was enjoyable until a comment about my online success made me question my academic path.

Cue the tearful days and even crying during the practice for our graduation. The teachers had heart-to-heart talks with me, and eventually, we decided it was time for a change. My family was all in for switching schools; my friends were sad about the bullying and encouraged me to consider Ateneo. Enter my money-conscious side - lots of pondering and rethinking. My brother, always nudging me, offered to help, so I applied, albeit a bit late, for the GIA scholarship. Feeling desperate to lighten my family's load, I threw in an application for the top 500 scholarships.

Since Ateneo only accepts the top 8 students and I ranked 9th, I felt desperate for the scholarship at Ateneo. To my surprise and relief, Ateneo emailed me as a reserve because many didn't pursue Ateneo. Grateful doesn't even begin to cover it. Then, another email came in - the Batch '67 scholarship. Pure joy! Here's a little quote to sum it up: “You must be the change you wish to see in the world. - Mahatma Gandhi.”

So, the Ateneo Young Scientist Club officer nomination was so funny. I got picked as the vice president and the assistant secretary, but guess what? I didn't snag the spot because I really, really wanted to be the assistant finance officer. Like, seriously wanted it

But here's the plot twist: Yep, now I'm the assistant finance officer of the Ateneo Young Scientist Club. And soon to be the Finance Head Officer. Woohoo! (๑>؂•̀๑)

PEH DAY was a total rollercoaster of emotions! It was exhausting because we crammed the choreo the day before – talk about last-minute dance choreo panic! 😅 Our dance was supposed to be 10 minutes, but we only managed to whip up a 6-minutes. Yikes!

But, oh boy, the plot twist! The day before our grand performance, our class moderator, Sir Ghen Sobrevega, supported us he brought with him not one, not two, but FOUR boxes of big pizzas and some drinks! 🍕🎉

The next day, we squeezed in a bit more practice and tackled the last 4 minutes just moments before the actual presentation. No pressure, right? And guess who ended up at the very front? Yours truly! I remember thinking, "It's okay if we don't win; we had a blast, right?" The nerves were real, but the important thing was having fun. Lo and behold, not only did we have a blast, but we also snagged the title of CHAMPION! 🏆 Can you believe it? And to top it off, we got a perfect grade for PT.

Lesson learned: Sometimes, last-minute pizza miracles can lead to victory on the dance floor! 🍕💃JOKE kapoy masyado mag cram :((

Now, let's talk about my favorite artists – TWICE! I've been a fan since grade 6 and had the best experience attending their concert at the Philippine Arena. The excitement was off the charts, and I couldn't help but shed a few tears before the event began.

Despite sitting far away due to last-minute ticket purchases, the energy and camaraderie of the crowd made it an unforgettable experience. There was this funny moment when we jumped during the concert, causing a brief pause as the wooden floor beneath us felt like it couldn't handle our excitement. We were scared. Oops!

Attending their concert on a Sunday and taking my first exam at Ateneo on Monday made for a memorable, albeit slightly stressful, start to the week. Ah, the adventures of a fangirl!

Got into Korean dramas in 2017, all thanks to my sister's K-drama crusade. "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo" was my first dive, and man, did it hook me hard! The Best is the "Reply 1988". Watching "Penthouse" was like stress central, but picking the most kilig drama is impossible—they're all saaaurr cutie! 🥰

Now, about the influence – they've got me thinking. How are they shaping my lifestyle, aspirations, attitudes, and behavior? It's like a cute whirlwind of impact! If it's all good vibes, well, hooray for healthy doses of happiness! But if not, time for a little reflection and maybe a tweak or two. Gotta make sure the media madness is contributing to the good vibes. ≽^•⩊•^≼
