Hello! I am Hayden Amber A. Maglian. My friends call me "Den," short for my first name, but I don't really mind being called anything. I don't have a good-sounding nickname since my name consists of only two syllables, but having a nickname doesn't really matter!

On November 18, 2008, I was brought into this world. It's unbelievable how close I am to becoming legal! I was born in a hospital in Dasmarinas, Cavite, and spent most of my childhood running around the streets of our neighborhood.

Growing up, my entire family used to be fond of how pale my skin was. They kept complimenting me, calling me certain names, which my mother and yaya would then respond to, "Purya buyag!" I remember how my mom used to tell me that the reason as to why my skin was so pale was because she bathed me with milk as an infant. Is that really possible?

Out of all the people I know, the strongest one is my Mama. Her name is Annabelle D. Amigo. During the weeks that my father was hospitalized, she did everything in her power to keep us from knowing the truth. That our father was dying. It's hard to believe how she was able to hide everything, from her pain and suffering to the fact that the man she raised two children with is coming to demise.

They were also fond of how massive of a baby I was. At just a young age, I was already struggling with managing the amount of food I ate. The amount of family dinners we had also wasn't a big help since I would take the opportunity to grab all the food I wanted to eat. Chubby Hayden!

This is a photo of me and my papa. He was the scariest but, at the same time, sweetest person in the entire world. I recall when he would teach me the alphabet and make me sing the national anthem in front of him. He was a colonel. Therefore, as I was singing my heart out, he would make me perform a salute, making me think that I was one of his soldiers.

My papa successfully crossed over the bridge on January 10, 2015. It was devastating. I remember how me and my brother were just playing games in the room, thinking that our hospice father would eventually go home as healthy as ever. But as kids, we had no knowledge of what was really going on. It was just a random morning when our mama entered the room and had tears falling down her face. Me and my brother were clueless as to why she was like that, but we kept calm and waited for her to tell us what she was eager to say. The words, "Wala na si daddy," came out of her mouth, and my whole world was crumbling into ashes. I didn't shed a tear, because I thought that it was just a mere fantasy, but as I saw how my brother was bawling his eyes out, I knew for a fact that it was real.

This is my brother, Jayden Andwelle A. Maglian. He was born a year older than me on December 27, 2007. Throughout the entirety of our childhood, I always found security in him. Despite the short age gap, he was able to stand up for me in times when I needed him most. After my father passed away, he remained by my side at all times, knowing how close I was to Papa and how devastated I was by the news. He kept me going and he was my kakampi in everything.

These are my friends, Euryle, Kye, Rena, and Janielle. I have known Euryle and Kye since elementary because we went to the same school, but we developed a strong friendship when we ended up in the same class in 9th grade. My friendship with Rena and Janielle started in 9th grade as well. Janielle was one of our classmates, and Rena was a friendly student from the other class who helped us operate the sewing machine.

This is us with our other friend, Angel. She was also one of our classmates in 9th grade, and our friendship started when we teamed up against a girl who was fighting Janielle. She was quite awkward at first, and our very first impression about her was that she was kind of a "weirdo," but as we spent more time together, we learned that she is one of the funniest and most amazing people on the planet.

This is a photo of me and my 10th-grade class. Throughout my high school experience, they were the people who made it easier for me to get up each day and become motivated to enter the school. The woman in orange is our adviser, Mrs. Jeovanna Batistis. She is the best teacher anyone could ever ask for. She didn't just treat us as her students but as if we were her children. We developed a strong and personal bond, making it hard for me to let go of our memories together.

Before entering my senior high school journey, I struggled to accept the fact that we were never staying in the same classroom together anymore. During my first few days in ADDU, I found myself silently shedding a tear in my seat because the memory of being with them lingers in my mind. Whenever I looked around the classroom, I couldn't help but recall the comfort I felt in seeing their faces. But I eventually found a way to adjust and be contented with what I have. I then learned that everything is temporary and that I should practice the art of letting go.

In just a few weeks, I was able to find friendships with these people. Random plans were made, which led to us developing strong bonds that I know will be unbreakable. It's nice how they made all my worries and doubts disappear. At first, the fear of not being able to have a friend scared the life out of me. I had a mindset that students from ADDU were different, and I always thought that I could never vibe with them. But they proved me wrong. In the first bond we had together, we were able to share laughter and sing our hearts out in karaoke without a single thought in the world. We spent the entire afternoon talking and walking to random shops together, and as we were about to go home, we were able to delve deeper into each other's lives.

# data[].attributes.body
But out of all the friendships I have in ADDU, these two are my favorite. Jacey and Jas. My other friend and I were casually walking out of the campus, eager to go home, when suddenly, these two, along with Troy, asked us if we wanted to go to Savemore with them. We accepted the offer with no hesitation, and in just a blink of an eye, we clicked as if we had been friends forever. I believe that the universe has purposely connected the dots between us. We are the perfect mixture of Grizzly, Panda, and Ice Bear. I love Jacey and Jas!

This is Shania. Aside from my mom, she is also one of the strongest people I know. She has made my entire experience in ADDU fun and exciting. I never expected that the person I used to admire from a few chairs away would be one of the people I value most in this lifetime. She has given me nothing but strength and motivation to overcome the challenges that blocked my way. She gave me a purpose: to live my life to the fullest. I will never stop fighting for her, and I will do everything in my power to keep her safe and happy. To Shania, I'm so proud of you. I hope you know that you have done well and enough. You are worthy of all the most precious things in this world. Keep smiling.

This is my favorite song at the moment. It is sung by the one and only Taylor Swift. If I were to share this in TikTok, I'm sure I would get canceled since her name is pretty sensitive in that app. But I don't really care. Her music inspires me and I feel a really deep connection in her lyrics.

"I'll never leave" ...
"Never mind"

Our field of dreams, engulfed in fire
Your arson's match your somber eyes
And I'll still see it until I die
You're the loss of my life

This is one of the funniest yet interesting shows I have ever watched. It's about a scientist who works for the shadow government, and the plot surrounds how they're managing all the world's conspiracies. It's super duper underrated, and I think it's more worthy to watch than shows with pointless storylines.

My Amanda is one of the most heartbreaking movies I have ever watched. The story surrounds two friends spending the rest of their adulthood goofing around, going on random adventures, and enjoying each other's company. It taught me the true value of friendship and how platonic relationships between the opposite sex are truly possible.

I remember reading this book on a hot summer day. The plot was able to stick to its genre, making it a fascinating read. Halfway through the book, I was shocked by the sudden turn of events. Everything was jaw-dropping and I felt a chill run down my spine as I read it. The fear I felt was real and it made me look around my surroundings. It really felt as if I were inside the book.

TikTok is at the top of my most-used apps list. Whenever I feel sad, I open TikTok. Whenever I feel happy, I open TikTok. Whenever I feel empty, I open TikTok. TikTok has been my best friend for approximately five years now, and I wouldn't know what I would do without it. TikTok not only provides me with entertainment but also comforts me whenever I need it. I have also learned a lot of things from TikTok. From cooking Buldak noodles to making an origami flower. TikTok has it all.

I love Spotify. It consists of all the songs that I need in order to make it throughout the day. Whenever I feel disappointed about something, I open my Spotify and search for a song that I know will be able to perfectly describe what I'm feeling. Whenever I'm riding a jeepney on the way to school, I open my Spotify to play songs that ease my mood despite knowing that I will suffer in class once again. Spotify is everything to me.

# data[].attributes.body
Aside from TikTok, I also like to use Facebook. I have a total of 726 friends on Facebook, and every day, I am eager to know what's going on in their lives. Facebook gives me updates on how they're doing, and it also gives me the chance to express myself in various ways, from sharing posts about what I feel to posting random songs in my story. Facebook is a safe place for me.

Block Blast is the only game I play on my phone. I have already reached a high score of 10,000, but that is still not enough. Every day, I'm striving to increase my score and beat the gods of Block Blast. At times when I feel bored in class, I play Block Blast. Whenever I'm waiting for someone, may it be a friend or family, I play Block Blast. Block Blast is what keeps me going.

Maroon is my color. It screams, "Hayden Amber." I am a visual representation of maroon. Maroon is me, and I am Maroon. If you asked me what shirt color I want, know that my response would be maroon. Maroon is the best color in the world.

I love Cookies and Cream Ice Cream. I always find comfort in eating certain food that brings me back to my childhood, and ice cream is one of them. If you were to ask my entire family what kind of ice cream flavor I like, they would all immediately answer Cookies and Cream. I would live and die for a bucket of Cookies and Cream.

I also love eating Mcdonalds. I'm fully aware of how unhealthy their food is since they contain large amounts of calories and oil, but I can't help but crave them every once in a while. If there isn't any food at home, I immediately buy myself a chicken meal. The products I usually order are Chicken Burgers and McFloats.

My favorite beverage is Vitasoy Chocolate Milk. Whenever I stop by a convenience store, I would always search the fridges for Vitasoy. At first, the taste of it was not of my liking. But as I continued to drink it, I found the taste rather delicious.

I know how to play the guitar! Though I can't say that I am an expert. I find comfort in learning new songs and creating my own version of them. Ever since I was a kid, I have been fascinated by how people are able to play music just by using their fingers. I always found myself looking at videos of people playing the guitar. On my 15th Birthday, the dream of having my own guitar became a reality, and I was able to teach myself how to play a couple of songs.

I am a part of the Pulsong Atenista Student Government, specifically in the Creatives-Video Editing Committee. My teammates are Ate Aury, our head, Kuya Tirdy, Kuya Mark, Kuya Sol, Kuya Joshua, Kuya Gab, Ate Lia, Ate Faye, Heidi, Gabby, and Japhet. At first, I was intimidated by them, but as we spent more time together, I realized that these people weren't as bad as I thought. They are one of the most hardworking people I know!

This is a photo of us during the first day of the Christ The King Fiesta. It was super duper hectic since we were tasked to do many things, but in the end, we were able to make it through the day successfully. During the CTK, I was able to develop stronger bonds with them and spend an entire week sharing our strengths and weaknesses.

These media helped me discover the true meaning of reality and made me see the essence of my existence. Because of using them, I am able to know things about myself that I never knew before. For example, all my life, I have been struggling to understand what I want to be when I grow up. However, as soon as I saw interesting careers in social media, I was influenced to follow the same path and become as successful as those in the field. These media are one of the factors that made me the person I am today. They have carved the foundation of my being.

These media have influenced the process of how I make certain decisions. For instance, whenever I feel lost, and I don't know what to do, I feel confused about what decision I should make. I struggle to understand myself and how the thoughts in my mind collide with one another. There were times when I felt the need to give up. But as I saw how people from these media felt the same way as me, I felt a sense of comfort, and it became clear in my mind that I was not struggling alone. I knew for a fact that life still goes on. But there were also instances when I was manipulated into thinking something bad about someone. This is what makes it unhealthy. Media can either be healthy or harmful depending on how you use them. Therefore, we should all learn how to consume media in a proper way and limit the amount of information we implicate in our daily lives.
