Me!

Hello! I am Katrina Laurice F. Aenlle from 11 Ogilvie STEM strand. I'm 17 years old and I love to explore new things. I enjoy dancing and singing though I am not that good at it. I appreciate little moments that feed my entertainment; for example hanging out with my friends, baking, going to the beach, playing with my dogs, dressing up, yoga, reading and most importantly watching tv shows. As much as I love being with my friends and family, I am fond of having my alone time. I like to prioritize my peace by biking or having a walk outside the house alone, for me it’s therapeutic.

My cutie patooties. Poopsie is a dachshund, & Dooby is a mini-pinscher and chihuahua. Poopsie is the nonchalant type, and Dooby is the playful and overreacting type (OA). Perfect combo? HAHA. They play, fight, make up, play, and the cycle goes on. Every night I will tell them a specific thing that happened to my day, and it disappoints me that they do not reply even with a smile. 🙂 Back in 2021, I created an Instagram account for my dog, Poopsie (@poopsiethebarney), because I could not stop posting her on my personal account. I was amazed because, unexpectedly, many dog accounts followed her and admired her by sending DMs about how cute she is.

Growing up without a father or as an only child was never an issue for me. I never felt that there was something missing in my life, and that is because my family never failed to provide me with love and care. They are my motivation to be better every day.

My safe space, especially at times when I feel like everyone is turning their back on me. They remind me of my worth and value. My mother, grandparents, cousin and aunt make me feel that I am loved through the concern and comfort of their presence. Lastly, despite being an only child, I’m blessed to have Gian. She is my unbiological sister who is always there for me through ups and downs. I will always be grateful to the Lord for the gift of family.

Comfort Food

Frozen yogurt is my go to comfort food of all time. Specifically, when it is topped with granola/almonds or any fruits and biscoff sauce! Whenever I buy one, I never forget to take a picture of it, and post it on my instagram account. Sad? I'll just buy frozen yogurt to lighten my mood. I'm happy? I'll buy frozen yogurt. Anxious? I'll buy frozen yogurt to calm me. Angry? I'll buy frozen yogurt.

Words cannot explain enough how much I love music. If I need to be productive, I'll just play a playlist that suits the vibe of the day. I don't really have a specific music taste; it depends on my mood: sad, happy, inspired, confused, etc. I listen to a lot of singers, including Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Laufey, Frank Ocean, Adele, Jeff Bernat, KPOP artists, and so many more.

Without the media, I would not be who I am today. I am inspired and motivated by connecting with people through media. I get to watch my favorite celebrities and vloggers on television; I get to listen to some music and watch news to stay updated and informed. The best part is that I love to express myself on my social media platforms, which are Instagram and TikTok, by posting events or pictures of me. However, the defect of media is that social media affects my mental health. I feel pressured whenever I see people achieve something I want and am isolated from the real world, and it causes me to develop anxieties.

Is the media healthy? Yes definitely. Through media we can share and get useful information, raise awareness about certain causes, entertainment purposes and most importantly, we learn. We just need to learn how to self-control and have boundaries when using media.
