NICE TO KNOW

My name is Dhanna B. Octavio. I'll be turning 18 next year on the 25th of May. I am actually from Polomolok, a municipality in the province of South Cotabato. I have 2 siblings, and we live together here in Davao; both are in college, while our parents are in Polomolok.

WATCHING KDAMA SERIES

doctavio3 — 2024-12-06 00:07:39 UTC

I love watching Kdrama series. This is what I usually do every summer or in my freest free time, like when no schoolwork needs to be done; I watch every drama I miss during "hell week." Watching Kdrama is also my coping mechanism. If I feel down, I watch my favorite series or any series I think would be great. I think that watching these is not only a source of entertainment but sometimes you can learn something from it. If you haven't watched any yet, I recommend " Reply 1988". The drama bawled my eyes out and made me realize how precious my youth is (huhu, this is making me cry while writing); I think this drama shows you the reality of growing up, and my favorite part is it's about family.

I FORGOT I CAN ACTUALLY PLAY A GUITAR!!!

doctavio3 — 2024-12-06 03:02:55 UTC

Every time I hear a song that I think would perfectly be nice if played on a guitar, I would write it on my phone's notes and then later on forget about it. I used to learn 4-5 songs in a week but that was during the pandemic. Now, I would hear a song and say "Oh I can play that on a guitar back then" But that was back then, due to new hobbies I get to play it only if I see my guitar which is but still I consider this a hobby of mine.

LIVE LAUGH LOVE FUTSAL😊

As much as I love laying in my bed all day after school or on a chill weekend, I love spending my time on training and tournaments. Playing futsal may be exhausting, especially training. I think a week without playing is more exhausting cause I'll only get to do projects and tasks from school. I always say that futsal is so fun, but to be honest, it can be very draining not only physically but also mentally.

WHY DO I LIKE THIS MEDIA?

doctavio3 — 2024-12-06 09:25:19 UTC

These type of media has helped me so much; this has become my coping mechanism, especially Social Media, despite its toxic environment. Media, such as movies and Kdrama, have helped me feel better, especially when I feel down. In addition, Media keeps me aware of the issues happening in our world; it keeps me informed and well aware of the social issues we have been experiencing.

How are these media influencing or affecting me? Is this healthy? If yes, how come? If not, what steps should you take to change it?

doctavio3 — 2024-12-06 10:05:45 UTC

As I mentioned, Media has become my coping mechanism when I feel down. It also keeps me entertained and informed, anything that I see I don't believe right away so I always do fact check, and what I see on Media doesn't affect me that much but news articles, keep me concerned about the social issues, such as global warming, the war on other countries, the crisis our country has been experiencing, the issue between our national leaders. I think it is healthy that I feel better when exposed to media, and being informed is a great way to be a wise person; it makes me proud when I read new articles; I feel like a new person every time I read articles.

MOVIES!!!

doctavio3 — 2024-12-06 14:17:43 UTC

Watching movies is my way to cope up with everything when I need to take a break on everything. The media platforms I usually use to watch movies are Netflix, HBO max, YouTube as well as TikTok(🤭). Back at home, it's like there's no day my father would not watch any movie, so any movies he decides to watch are watched together by the family. My favorite genres of movies and series are romance, rom-com, action, and comedy, melodrama. I like sci-fi, but it depends on the storyline.

READING NEWS ARTICLES ONLINE

doctavio3 — 2024-12-06 14:24:02 UTC

Mostly, I read news articles instead of watching them because I think reading makes it better, and it makes my vocabulary better. From reading news articles, I get to encounter new words and also hear and see other peoples take on an issue.

MUSIC IS LIFE

doctavio3 — 2024-12-06 14:28:58 UTC

I can't imagine life without music. I need music to get my house chores done, to keep me focused when I am doing any homework, and to lighten up the mood. Music makes me feel better, and if I want to feel emotional I would listen to music. If I want to feel better, I listen to music. I believe that the music that we listen sums us up as a person. Any genre will do for me, as long as it sounds good.

I DON'T READ BOOKS 😱 😱

doctavio3 — 2024-12-06 14:36:13 UTC

Even if I read news articles, I don't like reading books; I would rather watch a movie than spend hours reading 1 book. I can never finish a book. One time, I borrowed my cousin's book. It took me months to reach the 100th page, which wasn't even halfway yet.

I HAD A RARE DISEASE

doctavio3 — 2024-12-06 14:48:08 UTC

When I was younger, I think I was still a baby at that time; I had a rare disease called "Kawasaki Disease," I don't know what I went through, but my parents would tell me that a Vial of my medicine was very expensive. My mom thought I was going to die because I was shaking after the drug was injected into me. She said I spent so long being in the hospital. After being sick, I still needed to get checked every year because, based on my research, this may develop into a heart disease later on. But I never did my check-up again after a year ago because I could not breathe and got heart palpitations and very painful chest pain. 2D echo and ECG was traumatising. But I'm still good, well and alive.

TikTok

doctavio3 — 2024-12-06 14:59:29 UTC

TikTok is very toxic, but for me, it's why I am so informed and updated about the things that have been happening recently. You can watch the news here, educational videos, anything for entertainment and even movies. TikTok is the reason why it takes time for me to start with my tasks.
