If you haven't heard of this word, it is somewhat the middle of an optimistic and a pessimistic person. Throughout my life, I have always been optimistic and pessimistic about the path ahead of me. I have always seen happiness and sorrows, confidence and fear, and lastly, positive and negative outcomes in my life. I can say that life isn't always going to be positive, but that's okay since you will always learn valuable and important lessons in your journey. That is what I always say to the people I love, that there will be countless positive and negative outcomes that life will bring. You should always be ready for how to act and react. My friends and family have always told me to be positive, but I stand on seeing both sides – positive and negative. It helps me envision the things I should prepare, accept, and overcome.

It makes me comfortable being around them, such as my friends, family, and people I meet along my journey. Hanging out with these people motivates me to become a better person. Sharing problems, values, experiences, and such, makes me want to spend more quality time with them. Although sometimes I admit that I am somewhat introverted and shy, it doesn't stop me from getting out of my comfort zone to meet and spend time with new people around me.

These values are the things that I set my mindset into, so I can conquer all of the obstacles of my journey. I can say that it has been a rough journey so far. All these problems I attend have been a hindrance throughout my path. However, being determined enough and persevering throughout my life has always helped me to see things. It helped me get out of the things I have always been insecure and anxious about. Every day has been difficult for me since there is a new life ahead. Choosing these values has helped me look forward to a brighter future ahead of me where I can withstand any problems, insecurities, fears, and doubts that lie ahead of me.

These are the words that I aspire to hear one day. Architecture was not my first choice, to begin with, when I was a kid. But here I am now, having this mindset that I may wish to become an Architect. That one day, I can study at prestigious schools in the Philippines, such as UST – since it has been my dream school ever since. Knowing that when I am in college, I will suffer from sleepless nights, workloads, problems to grasp, parties and attendings to avoid, and such. These hardships will subside once I graduate and pass the board exams. Personally, I can say that it touches my heart that many people around me, especially my friends and family, support me with my chosen career. “Ikaw gagawa ng bahay ko ha!” “Ang ganda naman ng choices mo when it comes to design!” These responses or messages from my friends and family touch my heart, and I want to pursue this career more. It motivates me to strive harder, even in little things, since people are supporting and helping me in every way.

As a person, I am very fortunate to have good friends and family by my side. Who supports and guides me with every decision I make. It makes me happy and content with the people I have in my circle. They always help me become the better person and version of myself I see today. Honestly, without the guidance and love they gave me, I may not be the person I am today, full of confidence and perseverance. ]]> 2023-01-14 15:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2444378312 jkjmamaril https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2444379025 It brings me joy to spend quality time with my friends and family. These people are the most vital individuals in my life. Therefore I want to spend and create memories with them. Although, I can honestly say that sometimes I do thrive on being alone most of the time. But still, it brings me joy that I also have people around me since it removes all my sorrows, fears, and doubts. I love them with all of my heart, and I want to repay the kindness and guidance they have given me.]]> 2023-01-14 15:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2444379025 jkjmamaril https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2444379420 If I ever find a genie in my room that can grant me a superpower, I want it to be a superpower that can remove the fears and doubts of people. As a member of a family or even as a friend, I have always been able to remove the sorrows of my friends and family in many ways. By being there for them when they are at the lowest points of their life. I want to be the person they look for when they need someone to open up to or talk to. I want to remove all their sorrows, fears, and doubts. Ever since the pandemic, it has been challenging for people and me to cope with the new "normal." Many people become lonely, depressed, and anxious, and I don't want my friends and family to be filled with many sorrows and regrets. That's why I've always been there for them—supporting and guiding them with the right decisions. Every person should always know that there are people who love them in many ways.

I see countless stories and news about individuals residing in toxic home environments surrounded by toxic and traditional Filipino cultures. It makes me sad and worried for these individuals and their mental health. These people should not be treated as things, investments, toys, and such. These people also have feelings to attend to, and receiving criticisms about their body, image, skin, and such should not be tolerated. As an individual, I advocate for eradicating Toxic Cultures and supporting mental health rights for individuals. Individuals should always take note of their and others' mental health since this shapes the person's views and mindsets. As people living in this country, we should start being mature enough to control ourselves and not tolerate harmful and hurtful comments that may harm a person's well-being. We should always treat individuals with respect and kindness. We are all equal in this society!

As a teen and citizen in the world of digital information, I think that all digital citizenship elements are vital and valuable, for they guide us in understanding and being safe when accessing information and gaining opportunities through the use of the internet. Nowadays, the internet has a lot of pros and cons. Yes, they are very convenient for how we live and our lifestyle, but we should be aware of what we can see and what the internet can provide us. If I chose an element that would be very significant to my lifestyle right now, I would select Digital Health and Welfare. Since as a student, I am fond of using a health wellness app that would help me function on an average day. From checking my sleep hours, the screen time that I have been using my gadgets, and reminding myself to drink a lot of water. 

To conclude, we need to know the different elements of digital citizenship. In this way, sooner or later, it will be beneficial for us since technology is fast evolving in this day and age. We need to have a better understanding to know what are the things to avoid when a particular instance happens in relation to the internet. ]]> 2023-03-05 15:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2504015802 jkjmamaril https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2504016130 As a student, what do you think are the usual instances and reasons for your need of information? What tasks have you done in the past that required searching information for you to complete them?

As a student, information is familiar to us since we receive information daily from waking up and checking our phones, talking with friends and family, attending class, or searching for something online. These instances help us gain new perceptions and knowledge about what is happening around us. One of the tasks I require information on is when writing an essay or paper about a particular topic. It is essential to know that when searching for information, we should know if the information provided is accurate and not fake. Since writing a specific topic, with false information will lead to clarity and understanding. Nowadays, there is much misinformation that is spreading throughout the world of the internet. One social media that I can say that misinformation is spreading is Facebook. In my experience, I have seen countless misinformation in this application, and the sad part is that that kind of information is deceiving many people. I can say that when searching for information online, it is crucial that you know how to tell if that information is valid so that you will not be easily deceived and will not be a cause of why that information is spreading throughout the feed. This knowledge and understanding will save you and can be vital to your perceptions. ]]> 2023-03-05 15:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2504016130 jkjmamaril https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2504016330 Have you experienced correcting someone or being corrected by someone on fake news? How’s your relationship now? Share your experience.

Yes, I had an experience when my auntie constantly posted news and information about a particular politician in our family group chat. What bothers me is that the news and information she posts are misleading and fabricated. Some of my family members in that group chat were very bothered, while some were deceived. While she continued constantly posting in our family group chat, my mother told me that she was already getting annoyed by the countless misleading news my auntie posted. At that moment, I also explained to her that I was annoyed and wanted to approach my auntie well without getting lectured. It was scary initially since I didn't want to talk back to older people. One day, I had the energy and guts to confront my auntie by chatting with her. I spoke with her about my concerns about her posting fabricated information, and I also mentioned the circumstances of the other family members. I told her to verify the information you said before sending it to the group chat so that she would not deceive other individuals. Since I am not worrying for the sake of others but for the sake of my auntie as well, I want her to be safe from believing in different kinds of information. Now, I am happy to say that she has stopped sending false information, and my relationship with her is still good. I am delighted that I was able to help her when it comes to gaining knowledge from the internet. ​​]]> 2023-03-05 15:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2504016330 jkjmamaril https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2558401084 How will you use this knowledge (Advertising Literacy) to influence the world for good?

As someone interested in taking an Advertising course in the nearer future, one of the things that I can do as an individual to use this knowledge to influence the world of good is to inform what is morally right and its truth. As viewers, sometimes what we see, such as advertisements, tells us, enlightens us, entertains us, and persuades us. However, sometimes it makes us wonder if what we truly perceive is the truth or the reality of what's happening. One of the things that I want to do is to show the truth and reality of everything. If we can understand what we see, we can avoid being misled by such information. We should know that numerous advertisements can fool us into believing, have different perceptions, and more. If this happens, this can cause misunderstanding and rising arguments between one's community. As a student, I can also use this knowledge to inform others about the truth and what is not. We should use what we've learned in different aspects also to teach this generation and numerous generations that advertising can also have its drawbacks and benefits. ]]> 2023-04-18 10:46:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2558401084 jkjmamaril https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2585309200 How will you apply what you've learned about intellectual property rights to ensure that you are respecting the rights of creators while still effectively communicating your own ideas?

One of the things I do when I ensure that I am respecting the rights of the creators is when I fully comprehend and read the description of the things they own. It is essential to check if the item they own can be used for your benefit. For instance, when using pictures, videos, and background music for school projects, I always check if I can borrow their work for my benefit. To also be sure that I am not practicing plagiarism while effectively communicating my ideas. It is essential to respect the rights of creators so that we cannot waste the effort and time they have put in so they can also communicate their ideas. If I were in their shoes, I would also be disheartened if someone used my ideas for their benefit. To truly ensure that we respect their rights, we should include them when we are borrowing their own source of ideas. We must credit their information so that viewers and individuals can know the information we share is from the owner. This insight has helped me to value the ideas of others, and I am in no suitable position to steal them from my good and benefits. We must credit them so that people would be influenced to believe the truth and what is real rather than believing false facts from the internet.]]> 2023-05-10 10:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2585309200 jkjmamaril https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2585312362 After completing the Go Viral and The Bad News Games, reflect on what you learned from it. Narrate your overall reflection on everything that you have realized from these games.

After playing with the activity, it has been brought to my attention that we, individuals, should practice literacy in perceiving information in front of us. As we all know, much false information has rapidly increased because of the technology and beliefs many individuals believe in. It has caused many individuals to think and see wrong rather than accept what is right. From the activity earlier, I realized that there are many things that people should do to avoid gaining false information from the internet. For instance, we should first validate the information that we get. We should validate the information we get by checking the facts and truths we can see from the correct and legal sources. This way, we can know when and where to believe from gaining accurate information. Second, we should consider whether the information is current and relevant. This is important since if we see data. It is sometimes obsolete or not very present today. In my experience, I have seen numerous posts on Facebook or other social media applications that my family has been sharing out-of-date false information that's been making many individuals believe. I once told them that the posts they shared needed to be updated. As individuals, we must first validate the information we see before we can share it with others. It can be helpful so that it cannot create chaos in a community. Therefore, we individuals need to be more literate than we are today to raise awareness among those who continue to spread false information all over the internet. ]]> 2023-05-10 10:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2585312362 jkjmamaril https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2585317772 What have you learned from Media and Information Literacy? How has it changed your understanding of the role of media in society, and how you consume and interpret information? What new skills or knowledge have you gained that you can apply in your personal and academic life?

The second semester was a very rough journey for me and my academics. Learning Media and Information Literacy has changed my perspective on what I see today since it has genuinely helped me become more literate on the information I see. One of the new skills and knowledge I gained is informing what is the reality and the truth. As an individual, this insight I gained helped me share information that is real and the fact so that I can avoid sharing misleading information with my community. In my personal life, I continue to share authentic and accurate information with my friends and family so that I can not mislead them into believing what is untruth and immorally wrong. My academic life has also taught me to know what information on the internet contains misleading and false information. Although Media and Information Literacy can be a complex subject, I can say that the lessons and modules I profound within this course piqued my interest as an individual in society and as a student. It has so much knowledge that can influence an individual and can also be applied in the real world. The knowledge I learned from this subject has genuinely made me apply it in the real world, which is why individuals should use it to benefit others.

Furthermore, I would like to emphasize that this subject also raised awareness in many aspects of our world, such as the problems concerning the Sustainable Development Goals that our world is facing. Although doing performance tasks was challenging on my part, it still made us use our capabilities and knowledge to share with the world information that we could act as a community. ]]> 2023-05-10 10:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jkjmamaril/aboutme/wish/2585317772
