and tita docs, for they always give me gifts and play with me when they have time, as well as the nurses in the nursing station.

The only time it became boring was when they all left because of another accident in the emergency room; either they were operating on someone or doing rounds, leaving me in the nursing station or the doctor's lounge. Still, it was understandable since they needed to do their jobs. 

Maybe the reason why they taught me all of that was that they wanted me to be just like my mother; knowing that I was her eldest son, they knew that I may have possessed the talent and skills that my mother had because when I said my mother was an excellent anesthesiologist, I wasn't just saying that because she's my mom its because she is an excellent anesthesiologist receiving numerous awards and praise just for her skills as a doctor and her actions that have greatly contributed in the medical field.

So when I told them that I didn't want to be a doctor or pursue any career that was related to any medical field, they were devastated, now it's not like they resented me for my decision, but they were just disappointed in me that I didn't get to be a doctor like they wanted me to be, especially my Tita and Tito docs for they felt that all theirs efforts in training me and teaching me how to become a great doctor just like my mother were all useless and went down the drain, except for my mom she supported me to pursue the career I want which is law.

Now, I know that all jobs are complex and may even be traumatizing for many. Still, since I have seen what's behind the mask that medical professionals have to wear to their patients or clients, it made me wonder, "Do I wanna be like that when I grow up?" or "Will I be like that when I grow up?".

The last reason why I do not want to be a doctor is that it is very disgusting with all that blood they have to handle, all those rotten wounds they have to treat, all those deep open wounds that show their flesh, and many more because many think that medical professionals are unaffected with all of that types of cases, but the truth is they get disgusted they just have to endure it because it's their job.

They can't show it to their patients so that the patients won't get scared, but after every time they're done, they usually puke (usually the first-year nurses) and rant about how much it was so disgusting to look at. Yes, they are used to it because they always see it daily ( You may ask any medical professionals you know if they ever saw anything that disgusted or even traumatized them in their years of working in the medical world. They'll either say yes or no, but most of them say yes).

The ones who had a hard time accepting the fact that I was leaving were my parents, for they can't take the fact that their eldest child will be leaving apart from them, but I can't let that stop me from learning in Ateneo De davao Senior High School for it was quite hard to convince them to enroll me here.

On my summer break he always bring me to wherever he's, whether its at work or to get something fixed. Of course he's one of my inspiration to become a lawyer, because back then I was just a child that couldn't do anything but to watch my father get accused of white collar crime, thankfully It was resolved, but I made a promise to myself that I would never let that happen again.

Of course, she's one of my inspirations because I aspire to be her, someone who is well respected and feared by her peers just because of her leadership, talent, and skills. She's the reason why I want to become a president, for when I become a president, both of my parents can live a peaceful life without worrying about anything.

I miss them a lot, of course, because its like it's part of my routine to talk to them and they also had a big impact on my life, whether its my behavior or personality, so it was a bit uncomfortable to make new friends. After all, who am I to complain, I mean I am the one who transferred to another school, but it's still weird that for the next two years of my SHS life, they won't be a apart of it. But I am still grateful that they came into my life, and I know that no one can replace them, but I hope I find more people or friends here in Addu shs that will make my school year memorable and fun.

Then, the practices began; of course, it was pretty tiring because every after class, we had to go to the school gym to practice the choreography for hours until we perfected it, and our mouths felt numb. We had to open it a lot because we had to lip-sync the lyrics, so combining those two was quite draining. When I got home, I had to endure about an hour of my parents telling me I shouldn't have joined the team because I usually get home past curfew. Of course, they were right.

Honestly, it was pretty tiring because I had to manage my schoolwork in the morning and practice in the afternoon. I even thought I should quit but couldn't because my role was essential. It was crucial for the play, and if I did stop, I would cause problems for the team because they had to find another person and make them memorize all the lyrics and choreography. I don't like causing issues for others, so I just had to endure it until the day our play started.

Then, the day of our performance arrived. We were backstage waiting for our turn, and that was when I felt nervous my entire life; my hands were shaking, and my heart was beating fast. It felt great! The feeling of being nervous before a big performance was incredible which is why I wanted to theatrical lipsync as if possible, but of course that didn't affect my performance and I never felt shame because like our coach said “Mas better na para kang oa sa stage, kesa naman na dimo magawa ng tama ang act mo”.

So we performed our hearts out and make sure we left that stage with no regrets and a core memory that will never be forgotten.

Maybe it's bad for others because they can't accept a loss, but I'm used to it because I don't always score better than my past peers back then. Sure, I'll feel disappointed by it, but that just gives me more motivation to beat them and get a better grade than them. So Im hoping to earn more awards here in Addu Shs.

Sometimes, I did not even get any sleep just because I was up all night reading. Though it's been a while since Ive read any series because school has already started.

Tatay has been selling corn for over thirty years, on a random day for Tata, Sir Geybin went to his food cart to bless Tatay with a brand new motorcycle. Some may say that he did this to boost his image as an influencer, but I know that those tears he shed with Tatay we're not fake, and even if he did at least he helped other people with it.

Now since they agreed my only problem was to secure the tickets, but since it took me four months to convince them and the waitlist sign up started in march, I didn't get to secure any tickets since it was sold out and the wait list was already full.

Of course I lost hope, after all I can't get any online tickets and the onsite selling tickets we're too far away for me to buy. But even though I was sad, at the same time I was still happy that fellow filipinos know the Hamilton play. But yea I really like theatrical play's, because I really like how focus they have to be, to play they're roles without making a mistake because they have a live audience watching them, and they know that once the play start, they can't do their act again if they made a mistake.

How are these media influencing or affecting you? ( your lifestyle, aspirations, attitudes, and behavior). Is it healthy? If yes, how come? if not, what steps should you take to change it?

These platforms also help me stay media literate by exposing me to various perspectives and information. For example, YouTube and Webtoon often present different viewpoints and storytelling techniques that enhance my ability to analyze and evaluate content critically. Instagram and Facebook keep me updated on current trends and news, helping me understand how media influences public perception. Grammarly and Canva support my communication and content-creation skills, essential for producing clear and accurate information.

Regarding Media and Information Literacy (MIL), my media choices reflect a desire to engage with relevant and diverse content. Using these platforms, I’m learning to discern credible information, recognize different types of media bias, and create engaging content that resonates with others. This holistic approach to media consumption and creation supports my growth as a media-literate individual, enabling me to navigate the digital landscape effectively and responsibly.

In terms of whether this influence is healthy, it can be a mix of both positive and negative. On the positive side, platforms like Grammarly and Canva help me improve my communication skills and creativity, which are valuable for my personal and academic growth. However, constant exposure to social media can sometimes lead to unrealistic comparisons or affect my self-esteem. It’s important to be mindful of how much time I spend on these platforms and ensure that it doesn’t interfere with my real-life relationships or responsibilities.

To keep things balanced and healthy, I should set boundaries on my media use and be more intentional about my online activities. For example, I could schedule specific times for using social media and take breaks to focus on other activities like studying or spending time with friends. Knowing how different media affect my mindset and behavior will help me make better choices and maintain a healthy relationship with technology.
