With all the three short videos that I watched, the second video which is Mother’s day trilogy has touch me. At the start of the video we can see the son arriving at the house, he got confuse on why his mother is talking alone. The mother continued acting strange and the son is worried why his mother acting like that until he realized that his mother was just rehearsing for her new part time jobs. I was touch because the video is a true to life story and has no male-father side character which means she is a single mom, it showcased the hard work and dedication of a single parent doing her best provide for her children’s future.
Few people in the Philippines experienced Parent absenteeism, it is when a mother, father or both parent are not present at the child’s life. Growing up, this absenteeism can have a substantial effects on the psychology of the child. But not all people with complete family experienced a happy life, some had chosen to run away because of too much parental abuse.
With that, what is your concept of an Ideal family? For me, my concept of an ideal family is just plain and simple. It is having a mother and father that supports you to the path that you chose. A family that will mold you to be kind, humble and respectful person. A Family that shows respect to their children, where their children will no longer fear to open up to their parents. These are my conceptualization of an ideal family, as a son it is also my part to listen and respect them. I understand that it will not be perfect but as long they care and love me, it is more than enough.

According to Google, love language describes as how we receive love from others. There are 5 types of love language namely, Words of Affirmation, Quality time, Physical touch, Acts of service, and Receiving gifts. On today’s pause for a thought we were instructed to answer a link that classifies what love language you are belong to. It was fine answering the questions, you just have to choose what most describes you on the two choices below. When I finished, the result said that I belong to Words of Affirmation. I am not shocked with the result. I kind of agree with my love language because as I observed to myself, I really want others to affirm to what they are saying because for me I don’t want to assume. Like for example I hang out with this classmate and for me I treat him/her as a friend but I won’t tell others that we are friends I will wait for him/her to affirm that we are friends, because I don’t want to assume to be somebody’s friend without them viewing me as one. Also if someone talks good/bad about me, I take their words seriously, like I may just laugh about it but when I am alone, the memory of them saying those kind of words to me, will echo inside my head. Saying supportive things also boosts my confidence, don’t get me wrong I also much appreciate acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time and physical touch but words of affirmation hits different for me. Overall I agree with the result because someone also said to me that she thinks my love language is words of affirmation. We all have different love language we just have to understand each other to be in harmonious relationship with them, but despite our differences we should always remember to be humble and kind to other people.

The best feeling you can experience in this world is the love that is showed by your family, friend and your significant other. It may not be true to all but there’s really a unique experience or feeling being loved by your significant other. I consider myself so bless that I able to have someone to love me other than my friends and family. Here’s that story, it all started way back grade 11, we both enrolled to the same school and the same section but I could barely noticed her at that time, I am still adjusting because I have friends to talk to. It was on the second day of the class that our adviser conducted a reshuffling of seats and we happened to be seatmates. But I was calm and kept what I’m doing, I still haven’t noticed her because she’s also quite and have this “maldita” aura so we don’t really talk that much. But months had passed, we talk/chit-chat and I saw behind this “maldita” intimidating aura lies kind, loving, intelligent, caring, cute, beautiful and simple person and that’s why I started to have feelings for her. Another months passed and became friends and there I said to myself that I’ll take the risk telling her what I feel. Of course she was shocked, after telling her we still became friends. I was not thinking of I got rejected because every time when we’re together I still show that I really love her. Then a surprise happened January 13 was my birthday and that the she confessed to me that she also have feelings for me but she didn’t said it earlier because she thinks that I was just joking about it. From then on I courted her and it was March when she finally said yes and we became official. Up until now and I am so very happy and contented with my life with her, even though we encountered difficulties in our relationship we’re still together. I really hope we’re the persons meant for each other and that our love will last forever.

According to the definition provided by Google happy is a “feeling or showing pleasure and contentment” with that what makes you happy? For me every day when I wake up I start the day with a happy thought so that it will continue throughout the day. As much as possible I want to become happy every single day. Like if negative things can be avoided I will avoid it, because when you’re unhappy you don’t have the energy to do chores or tasks needed to be done. Now in this new normal situation I spend my time chatting/bonding with my loved ones, playing video games, going to school and doing chores. Even virtually being with my friends makes me happy because we do jokes and even here in the house we bond as a family and have a fun time together. Playing video games also makes me happy because I have my friends playing with me also, that even though we lost the game we just laugh and play again. There’s nothing more relaxing than a clean house and completed tasks, doing chores and tasks also make me happy because after that I can now sleep without worrying. But there are also times that you just woke up feeling sad, when I experience this I just do what I normally do and there they are all my significant others making me happy, like when I am with them and they are happy they can also influence me to become happy, because happiness is contagious. So if you feel sad don’t be, instead reach out to your friends and family. And if you woke up and started your day happily go out there spread your happiness and be their sunshine.

Based on the video that I answered/followed that our teacher sent to us, the first video was identifying which side of your brain is more dominant is it the right or left side. After the video I calculated it using their formula and resulted to 55.56% which mean my left side of the brain is more dominant. After the computation there’s this explanation at the end what does it mean having left or right brain dominant? I kind of agree with the explanation of having left brain dominant but after hearing the side of right brain dominant I feel it describes me more than the left one. The second video is an exercise for your brain it’s only four exercises but it was fun. Each exercise are pretty challenging you really need to concentrate and try again. I also relate it to human life, like a life without no challenges is not a life at all. Because living for me is accepting and overcoming all this challenges thrown at you so that you become wiser and stronger in each challenges. But what if you fail? There’s nothing wrong in failure as Henry Kravis said "As I said there is nothing wrong with failing. Pick yourself up and try it again. You never are going to know how good you really are until you go out and face failure."

Stress is a positive or negative personal phenomenon that every one of us experienced or currently experiencing. Being an adult, many consider adolescence is the stage where they experience stress. Adolescent age differs from one another, maybe some of us that they consider have a perfect life or maybe some felt so much stress. But even if you experience less or much stress the point I want to impart is when you feel stress and want to be alone and there is no one to talk to, talk to yourself. Ask yourself, open up to yourself, in this way you can assess and have more knowledge about yourself. For me I know when I feel stress because every time that something happened or something will happen and then I can’t help myself worry, it’s pressuring me and I feel pissed about it. That’s the time I know I am stressed and time to talk to myself that I need to calm down and to assess/ analyze the situation before worrying too much. But some of the stress that I experienced was acute ones so I can’t really recall them easily and when a chronic stress is hitting me I just take it to myself or talk to someone available.

Back when I was a kid I play a lot of outdoor games with my cousins. The excitement and fun playing under the sun is nostalgic, times where you are not that pressured by all this problems because as a kid you don’t care what’s happening around you. Growing up as a kid I eventually start to feel something like liking someone, being pressured by school requirement and got bullied. During weekdays me and my cousins go to school together because we are in the same elementary school, it was fine but my cousins was all girls so other kids be saying like am I a gay or what? But I just simply answer them that I am not a gay and they are just my cousins. After graduating elementary I thought junior high school would be like chill because we’re a bit matured at that time but I was wrong. Junior high school was more a bit rough on me because people be like noticing the way I walk and bullied me for walking not the same as them. They start laughing and saying things, and it hit me to the point I don’t want to go out of the classroom and walk around the campus. This adolescent was kind of stressful to me, but then I met my friends who are open and not making fun of the way I walk. They saved me those times because when I am with them I think less of people bullying me like I don’t care of them anymore. After classes we go home together, laugh and have fun. Like the song “who says” by Selena Gomez I started develop positive thinking and embracing the insecurities that I have because that’s what makes me unique and shine from everybody else.
But sometimes I wish I can turn back in time, time when I was just an innocent playful kid. I missed playing outdoors with my cousins/friends and family. Those times when I just play all day long, the smiles, laughter, lessons and even you got hurt and wounded you still smiles like nothing happened and continue playing. My takeaway about the lesson is even though you experience more negativity on your adolescence. Stay who you are, it’s not about the number of friends you have, but it’s how many of them are true. Don’t mind those negative people around you. Remember you are loved and worth it.

All of us are different from one another that is why we are unique. But it can’t be helped that we want to become like the person that we are idolizing, as long as the change in you is for the betterment then it is fine. Throughout our lives we for sure had encountered a complex person or maybe you yourself is a complex person. For me the complex person that I met was myself, yes I am a complex person I did not know this because somebody told me but instead I observed it.
The reason that I consider myself the complex person is, if there’s this very small detail that they forgot or they had said I can noticed it and throughout our conversation it bothers me. And when I am so happy feeling the moment a sudden flashback of the past will ruin my emotion and I feel sad and want to go home and sleep. My friend would approach me and say what happened why so sudden I want to go home, I just told them I am tired. After going home I lie in bed and think what happened. Every time an argument happened for example my family I can’t fully burst out all my pain, I mean I want to but something is holding me back. Even I don’t fully know or understand myself. Listening to the song “Forgiveness” by Matthew West, I agree with the lines “When they pain they caused is just too real, Takes everything you have to say the word Forgiveness”, “It can even set a prisoner free” and “The prisoner that it really frees is you”. Because yeah it’s true that not in an instant you forgive the person specially when what they did was so serious, but having grudge to them is just imprisoning yourself with all this hate in your heart but when after you forgave them there is really a feeling of being free. I felt this because despite having this complex character, I am also a forgiving person.
The lesson and realization that I got from the lesson was knowing people is very important in life because having the knowledge about people’s personality and behavior allows you to have success working with them. Furthermore we should be mindful of ourselves as well because we cannot provide something we don’t have so work on yourself so you can work with others.

Knowing yourself is essential, it is your key to communicate and get along with others but do you know who you are? I heard this questions asked a lot and I asked myself “do I really know me?” honestly I haven’t figured out who I really am. I’m still on a journey towards understanding and knowing myself. But there’s also things I had known that my friends told me, and this are:
Friendly they said that I have this approachable type of vibe. Funny I do agree about this because when I am with my friends I like to joke a lot and make them laugh. Helpful, they say that I’m helpful and I do kind of agree because when I see people or my friend that needs help I give them a hand because I had been through tough times and it’s awful and sad to fell it all alone. Clingy this is obvious at all times because when I and my friends go out or after classes I pinch them often times. Patient I also agree to this one because I believe what Marie Pirce said “sometimes things aren’t clear right away. That’s where you need to be patient and persevere and see where things lead”. Lastly is lazy because when we go out I get bored easily I just want to go home and sleep.
So far I like what I know about myself even though I am still on a journey on knowing it I will gladly accept negative traits that others will say to me. In that way I know what to improve to become the better person as possible.
