The memoir of Arguelles by

Who am I?

earguelles6 — 2025-07-03 20:16:41 UTC

I'm Euan! I am an outgoing person who always wants to explore/try out new things. I was born in Zamboanga, but later moved to Manila, and then to Davao. If you were to ask me which city I enjoyed the most? I'd say all three of them. But...If you were to ask me, between Manila and Zamboanga, which city I miss the most, well, it would be Zamboanga. It's been a long time since I've been there, and I hope I can go back there as soon as possible because I want to visit my family from my Father's side, whom I've never seen for a decade.

Hobby#1: Jiu-Jitsu!

earguelles6 — 2025-07-03 20:18:13 UTC

One of my hobbies in life is sports. Whether it'd be a martial arts or a ball game. In this case, it's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I love this sport and will forever be addicted to it. When you first look at Jiu-Jitsu, you might think it's boring, but it's not; it's a battle of the mind and techniques. If executed properly, it'll make your jaw drop because you cannot comprehend what just transpired. I do plan on taking Jiu-Jitsu seriously in the near future, and what I mean by that is competing in national competitions and representing the Philippines on a global stage. I am very excited about my future being a Jiu-jitsu athlete and the many opportunities that will come in my way.

My Friends!

This is my friend group! I have known them since we went to the same school together in San Pedro College Ulas, but the funny thing is that I wasn't a part of their group during those times. It was only in January of 2025 that I was added to their group, and their friends became my friends. Naturally, I fit in like a glove. After that, we went to Samal and Buda as part of our road trip adventures and created memories that I will forever cherish. I'm very thankful for them as they made my senior high school year very memorable, and I guess you could say that they saved me from falling into a dark place. And for that, I am forever thankful.

FA2: Message to your Future Self

earguelles6 — 2025-09-05 12:09:13 UTC

Hello Euan from the future! I hope that you're still alive, HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. But jokes aside, I do hope you are doing well in whatever it is that you are doing now. If meron ka mang gusto i-pursue in life, then go for it, you know? You only live once, bitaw. Of course, I do hope that you are happy and you've found peace in life, because that's something that I really, really, really want to achieve right now. I can't have it then, hopefully you can, diba? I'm willing to suffer in the present so that you can build a better future for both of us. OH! Lastly, bro, if meron kana mang girlfriend or asawa, treat her well and give her all the love in the world. Don't make the same mistakes that I did. Don't revert back to the old you, be the better you. Don't break her heart; make her the happiest woman in the world. XOXO.

Hobby #2: Volleyball!

earguelles6 — 2025-09-05 12:36:32 UTC

I started getting into Volleyball very late. It was during Grade-9 Intramurals, our team didn't meet the required minimum of players for the event, even though I didn't have any prior knowledge or experience in volleyball, I still joined the tryouts. Of course, my performance went badly, but it sparked my interest in pursuing the sport. Later that year, I joined the summer clinic for volleyball that our school was conducting, and the coaches there were from Ateneo. I had my ups and downs during my time there, but what's important is that I was able to hone my skills in volleyball. Fast forward to Grade 10, I joined the varsity try-outs, and unexpectedly, I was chosen to be a part of the team. Now, I'm no volleyball prodigy or anything, and my newly acquired skills are not on the same level as an average volleyball player, but I was grateful for the opportunity that was given to me. Sadly, me and those who aren't part of the starting lineup got cut, because of the fact that the other campus of SPC in Bajada wanted to merge their starting lineup with our starting lineup. Now here we are in Ateneo, where I got the opportunity to play volleyball once again, but this time as the Assistant Sports Head of Manresa, and at the same time, the event head for the volleyball. We were only able to get 4th place, but I'm proud of that, and considering the format of elimination for the volleyball event, I am very happy with 4th. Hopefully, we can get the gold next year.

1. Was the subject Personal Development helpful for you? How did this subject help you know yourself more?

earguelles6 — 2025-11-08 18:05:01 UTC

Yes, the subject Personal Development was very helpful for me because it encouraged me to reflect deeply on who I am as a person. It helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses, which made me more aware of the areas I need to improve on. Through different lessons and activities, I learned how my thoughts and emotions affect my behavior and decisions. I also became more mindful of how I interact with others and how my personality influences my relationships. Overall, it guided me to better understand myself and develop a clearer sense of direction in life.

2. What were your key takeaways from the subject?

earguelles6 — 2025-11-08 18:05:27 UTC

One of my key takeaways is that self-awareness is the foundation of personal growth. I learned that understanding yourself allows you to make better choices and build stronger connections with others. Another important lesson I gained is that personal development is a lifelong process; it doesn’t stop when the subject ends. I also realized the importance of mental and emotional well-being in achieving balance in life. Lastly, I learned that growth requires effort, reflection, and the willingness to change for the better.

3. What two topics were your favorites and why?

earguelles6 — 2025-11-08 18:05:46 UTC

My two favorite topics were Personality Development and Managing Stress. I enjoyed Personality Development because it helped me appreciate my individuality and understand how personality shapes my behavior and relationships. It taught me that improving my character and mindset can positively influence my future. I also liked Managing Stress because it gave me practical strategies to handle academic and personal pressures in a healthy way. Both topics were meaningful because they helped me become more confident, resilient, and emotionally balanced.
