Interests!

Anything Idol pop, Omori, Toilet Bound Hanako Kun, Amphibia, The Owl House, Alien Stage, DDLC, OHSHC, Saiki-K, and I'll pick up anything else, but these are my main interests as of the moment !!

I like my loved ones and the things I'm passionate about. My favorite colors are purple and yellow! 💜

I like cottagecore aesthetics and angelcore aesthetics! Royal aesthetic is also a bonus.

DISLIKES </3

I dislike people who have a bad attitude towards others for no reason, and I dislike failing.

I also have a fear of bugs and a fear of opening up to other people.

My meaningful experiences is being able to connect with people like my friends and family.

I remember the times where I'd have a hang out with my friends and we just had fun roaming around the mall and chatting and stopping by the k-mart to eat some ramen.

For my parents, they saved up money to buy me a laptop after years of needing it, but I never asked for it; they still bought me one for my birthday.

We used to have family days where we'd gather in the living room and drink Milo and eat burgers while watching a movie.

I didn't know how to express my gratitude on that but seeing them happy made me happy and feel better about myself as I was always insecure and shy.

Right now, I'm learning how to be a better person and learning to grow. There is so much I've learned, and I want to learn. For example, I've learned how to relax and take things with ease and learn how to live in the present, and I hope you in the future, would remember this lesson too.

I truly hope that you achieve and reach your dreams. I want us to be happy always and be surrounded by the people we love and cherish.

I don't know what you are today and where you are right now, but I hope you're doing all right. I wish you feel better and you're in a better environment in the future. I hope you achieve some of our dreams. if not, I hope you haven't given up yet.

The subject Personal Development was very helpful to me. It allowed me to reflect on my strengths. weaknesses, my values and helped me understand the goals I truly want. Through the different lesson and activities, it helped me become more aware of why I am the way I am, why I make decisions. It helped me make better decisions and helped me on how I can manage myself better.

2. What were your key takeaways from the subject?

My key takeaways from this subject are the importance of self-awareness, emotional intelligence, love, and goal setting. I learned that I always have to understand myself to grow, to be open to change, and to become the better version of me.

3. What two topics were your favorites and why?

My favorite topics were Knowing Oneself and Mental Health and Wellbeing. These two topics intrigued me due to how deep you had to go just to know yourself and if you have any issues you haven't noticed. I enjoy being able to study myself and understand the actions and what pushes me to do them.
