The video that really makes me emotional while watching is the "Kwentong Jollibee: Pamasko". Because this video shows how much our parents love us unconditionally and how they care for us more than themselves. 

This video presents on how both parents work hard in abroad just to provide for their family. It also shows on how they sacrifice a lot of years away from their loved ones just to live. And even though they are having a hard time working, they still manage to go home just to celebrate christmas with the person they love.

And that's how we Filipino value the Christmas season. Even if we are miles away but still we always find a way just to be with our loved ones. This video also proves that there is no impossible with our family and we should treasure our parents because they sacrifice a lot for us. And always remember to be grateful to a family you have because they are LOVE.

Base on the quiz that I take, the result shows that my primary love languange is a "Words of affirmation". In which I am 50% agree and 50% Disagree to this result.

50 % Agree because sometimes unsolicited compliments means something to me. Hearing some words of affirmation from the people that I love and knowing the reasons behind that words makes me extra special. Also I agree because I'm a very emotional person that even words can really affect me. Sometimes, even insults can leave me shattered and are not easily forgotten. I also appreciated hearing kind and encouraging words that can build me up to do something in life.

On the other side, I disagree its because although words are important but sometimes words are not enough. Especially in promises, because for me the word "promise" is not enough to assure something to someone. 'Cause you need to show to that person that you really mean the words that you said.

True love is an unwavering, unbreakable and unparalleled fondness and devotion for your partner. It also includes respect, admiration, care, and never subjecting your partner to hurt, humiliation or any form of abuse. We define love differently based on our own understanding. It could be in your lover, friends and family. And we all have a different story on how we experienced true love or how we are being loved.

And for me I never experience a romantic relationship with someone (boyfriend) so I don't know how does it work or feel. But I remember when I was still in grade school, I had a crush on someone that I admire. I like him because of his personality. Everyday I always make effort just to see him because he makes my day happy. Until one day my classmates and friends knew about my feelings towards him, they always tease me to him everyday and it makes him irrated because he doesn't like it. As days go by, I noticed that he keep his distance from me and I feel sad but I know that I need to respect him so what i did is, I just admire him secretly from the distance. I've been like that until we graduated in our elementary years. We separated our paths when we started our highschool life because I studied to different school. During my first year in highschool, I realized that how funny I am to admire someone from a far. And I also realized that not everyone you like can like you back and you must respect it. Because of what happened when I was in grade school, I never look or had a crush again on someone. Not that I hate everyone, it's just that I don't feel that kind of feeling anymore because my eyes is more focus on books right now. And also as I grow older I realized that you need to love yourself first before you love others. Because how can you love a person if you don't love yourself? Although sometimes you need to risk in love even if you can't receive love in returned.

But right now I feel satisfied and blessed already with my family. Their love makes me complete already. And maybe it's one of the reasons why I don't do romantic relationship with other people because I'm already contented on what I have right now. And I also have my friends that I can laugh with. And I love them.

I know that loving a person can be a challenging sometimes because some people are hard to love but eventhough they're like that you must still love them. Because you must love the unlovable and reach the unreable. Although we can love, give love and recieve love from everyone easily but always remember that love can be nothing if you have no commitment at all. Just be true to yourself because it really matter.

What happened to me is just an experience on liking someone. And I know that it won't stop me from loving someone again. But I also know that it is not the right time for that because I still need to focus on my studies and also my family is very strict when it comes to that topic. Maybe when the right time and the right person came myself is ready to be in that situation but as for now I need to focus on my responsiblity as a daughter and a student.

Happiness is the feeling that comes over you when you know life is good and you can't help but smile. Also happiness is a sense of well-being, joy and contentment. It is something that people want's to feel everyday.

And for me, My family, friends and my pets makes me happy. Seeing and communicating with them everyday made my life complete. Because they are the source of my happiness when I'm sad, my source of strenght when I'm weak and my guide when I'm lost. Without them my life would be boring and no fun at all.

On the other hand, I feel happy when I achieved the things I worked for and what makes me happy also is when I can overcome life's challenges. I feel happiness as well when I woke up everyday and seeing myself blessed and contented with the things I have.

And just always remember that you just need to be yourself, be grateful and be contented for you to feel happiness in your life.

I got the total score of 44.44% and it is the range to be a left dominant person. It also states that the left dominant person is categorize as people of science. They are mostly analytical and methodolical in thinking. But in my case, I'm not really good in science eventhough I found out that I am a left dominant person but I know things can be better if we have determination to learn.

While in the exercise to test how fast your brain activity, it helps me to know how active and fast my brain is. By doing random exercise to test my brain, I found out that there are things that you can't do if you don't have concentration.

In this activity, I learned that you need to know your brain capabilities and capacities to make yourself better.

Expectation is a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future. It is something that makes you excited and eager to do something.

When I expect, I really do my best to make it happen. But sometimes I don't expect too much in my expectations because we all know that expectation versus reality really hurts. I don't wan't to be disappointed or to frustrate myself more so I make my expectations balance. Also I see my expectation as challenges and potential failures. Challeges because I need to do something or to thrive harder to make it happen. And it is also a potential failures because sometimes not all the things you expect are meant to happen.

When I face my challenges, I thrive hard to accomplish the challenge. I always do my best to make it possible. Especially in life, if there's a problem or challenges that you may encounter you need to face and fight them for you to survive. Because when you face your challenges, you can make your expectation to be real.

"Your greatest responsibility is to love yourself and to know you are enough" ~Unknown

In our adolescence stage in life we are starting to make ourselves better for our future. It is also the time where we are thinking of the possiblities and questioning our self worth. Some of us are still finding answers to the questions in life to know who really they are.

As I grow older in this kind of generation where social media is very powerful, I observed that many people are so much dependent in this platform. They depend their self worth and capabilities in how many hearts and likes they get. We can't deny the fact that many people are downgrading theirselves because they are not appreaciated and being bashed because people hate them. That can lead them to question their presence which will somehow cause depression.

I admit that sometimes I keep comparing myself to other people. Everytime I need to do something, I always question myself worth because I don't believe in myself. But as the time goes by I try understand, love and believe my own capabilities. And I know that those are just my insecurities that is trying to kill my confidence.

And for me in my adolescence stage, I am still in the process of strengthening my identity by loving and trusting myself. In my life right now, I also learned that you need to be contentend and grateful to the things you have in life. And you need to know that you are beautiful in your own way and always remember that you are precious and love by God.

"When the pain they caused is just too real takes everything you have to say the word, Forgiveness" -Matthew West

In our life, we encounter a lot of people that is very hard to understand. Everyone has different attitude and characteristics that sometimes we don't know how to deal with. And I still remember the day that I met a person that has a trashy attitude. This person is very unrespectful and always thinking that doing that to others is okay even though it's not. And I really dont understand that person. Until one day, I try to understand the situation and that's the time that I knew the reason why that person is acting like that.

Actually I've met a lot of people that has the same attitude as that person. And what I did to overcome that situation is just simply understanding them and thinking that maybe they are just not mindful to theirself. And as what as Matthew West said in his song forgiveness "Love the unlovable and reach the unreachable".

Sometimes we need to be mindful to ourselves also for us to understand the people that surrounds us. When we encounter a person that has a complex characteristics, we just need to understand them and also forgive them if they did wrong for us to be free from the pain or bad memories they bring in our lives.

Take away for today:

Respect yourself first for you to give respect to others. Because respecting yourself means respecting to others. Also be mindful to yourself and don't let your emotions rule you as a person.

For the 18 years of my existence, getting to know myself has become much easier because of the challenges that I faced in life everyday. And for me, self-recognition is not just about knowing what you want or need. Its also about knowing your purpose in life, to know who you really are. Sometimes my friends and family tell good things about me, they said that I am kind, bubbly and sporty person. In which this feedback from them really help me to know myself more.

Although Knowing yourself can be very challenging, especially for those people who believe that they do not know who they really are yet, and that they’re still on their journey to know themselves. But no matter how hard or challenging it may seem especially with all the different influence around, it will all be worth it in the end.
