I LOVE to try new things, MEET new people and DISCOVER new places. Growing up my parents exposed me to different places where it helped me get out of my comfort zone! I like tasting unique dishes and experiencing new things 🥗🥙🍕

The stressors that contribute to the level of stress are academics and peer pressure from friends and family. Academics is one due to how high my standards are when it comes to my grades; I get frustrated whenever I get a low score, and it ruins my day. Moreover, peer pressure is also a factor in my stress right now; as a grade 12 student, my family has high expectations for my college decisions. I need to become an achiever to receive scholarships to my dream school

One thing that I love is to do Pilates 🧘‍♀️. I started doing pilates when I was 12 years old because I was diagnosed with mild scoliosis, and physical therapy is mandatory. Pilates helped me improve my mental and physical health! I am beyond grateful to my instructors and friends because they taught me how to become healthy and fit while also having a positive outlook on life. After years of doing pilates, I’ve noticed my spine curvature has decreased significantly! That’s why I recommend pilates to everyone <3

Growing up in an Asian household. It's either you do ballet, kumon, piano or swimming 😂

Funny how I get to experienced all of them but only one stayed today! And it is playing the piano!

I started playing the piano since I was 6 sadly I quit not until I started playing again at 10 til today! I have to say, it is still a challenge for me to sight read notes huhu!!!

I am so thankful for music, I get to learn the pieces I love and play them infront of crowds who share the same passion as I am. Currently, I am practicing Liebestraum No. 3 by Franz Liszt, one of my favorites pieces of him.

(also I’ll share a snippet of my piano recital from last year hehe)

At this infancy stage, I rely on my needs such as milk, care, comfort, and affection. Of course, I was too emotional at this stage, I cried for food, when I'm sleepy, or just felt like it. I trust my family to take care of me. The virtue I developed is hope, where I always know someone is there to provide me with special affection in order to feel secure and optimistic.

Here's my yaya, I called her Nanay. I am very grateful to have her in my life. She was always present in my infancy and my childhood days. She provided me with all the love and care I needed. She was the one who shaped my inner safety and hope especially during my infancy stage.

At this stage, I explore more about my independence. I stand and walk on my own successfully! I even tried to read a book, play with my toys, and socialize more with my cousins and friends. At this stage, I also experienced my first birthday party. Although I don't remember anything of it, it still holds an essential part of me. This independence helped me to develop autonomy, where I gained more confidence in myself. However, I do also experience shame and doubt whenever my family restricts me in what I do.

At this early childhood stage, I usually take initiative to play with my childhood friends. We enjoyed to play tag, bingo, and many more. It made me feel encouraged to try things to expand my imagination. Although, when the elders or my family sometimes be protective, they might seem to control me, making me feel guilty for the things I've done.

I am confident you're going to meet you're best friend when you turn one! She's named Hannah Mae, and you're going to experience the best childhood with her. I hope you sleep and cry well.

Dear Jam, I am grateful that you have been able to experience birthdays every year, inviting your baby friends and relatives to your parties. I missed these cakes so bad! They were so huge and pretty. It's so surprising to me that I still remember some moments from my 2nd birthday, especially the time when I got to play with my friends outside of our house. I still remember you playing dress-up, eating ice cream, and role-playing with your favorite toy, Minnie Mouse!

Dear Jammie,

I see that you've gained a lot of friends! I know you really enjoy going home in Baganga because you get to experience the real Filipino childhood. You know, playing tumbalata, going out near sea walls, eating the best Filipino snacks. I do still remember some moments from my 5th birthday, and I am really thankful to celebrate it in the province together with my family and friends. I've also noticed how your curls are slowly loosing as you turn 5 years old;((

At this stage, my younger self tends to focus on doing her best at school because she knows that she's capable of achieving her goals. Although she needs a little push from her peers to join new clubs, organizations, and sports, she knows that she's assertive in socializing and communicating with other people her age. However, this girl also experiences insecurity; she often doubts herself despite her achievements because she always has the mindset that there's always someone better than her, even though she has worked so hard for them. Fortunately, she has grown out of this mindset and focuses on herself, with the only competition being herself and not others. This ideal helps her to focus and strive better for myself till day!
