 PERSONAL EXPERIENCES

During my juvenile years, I am really engage on playing offline and online games usually alone and sometimes together with my few friends and acquaintances. I spend a lot of time to play games making me to neglect my studies during that time resulting to a not so high yet average remarks in my elementary education. Also my mother usually scold me for being addicted in that particular games.

The main reason why I become attached and engaged to this field of virtual interaction of gaming is my being alone and resemblance of being an introvert that time. I rarely interacts towards my peers (only to the one me and my parent really know and familiar to e.g. neighbors, child of my parent’s friend) and the online games becomes my companion in life. It is the one who makes me feel happiness and joyful despite of being unsocial and victim of bullying. Online gaming established a thought in my perception that no one is an island. It is the one stays at my side together with my unknown internet friends that leverage my sense of forlorn.

As time goes by, I become older and mature. I have overcome my introvert and reclusive personality tends me to have more friends. I have moderated my playing time on online games as I really engage this time on my academic enrichment. The one I really regret and repent this present period is the weakening of my eyes having a blurry vision as a consequence for extreme engagement in online gaming during my childhood days.

Now, I really take care of my physical health especially to my vision, making it healthy and fully functioning by engagement to various physical activities and consumption of healthy foods to not make my condition worsen but to normalize it.

My Autobiography

I am Daniel M. Tiagan, aroused in the “Pearl of the Orient”, city of Manila. I currently faces the fruitful outcomes as well as the trials and shortcomings in the eighteen years of existence at the “Historical Capital and Cradle of Philippine Revolution” in the province of Cavite.

My name bestowed by my mother derived on the bible, prophet Daniel. According to anthropological studies, prophet Daniel is a noble Jewish youth of Jerusalem who have thrown in the tomb of wild lions by Darius the Mede for his never ending faith to god. Through his sovereign loyalty, faith, and faith to him, he exiled safely from the agony of salvation. Like prophet Daniel, I put my self to the lord letting him to set the right for me in order to surpass the trials and obstacles encountered in order to reach the summit.

As a citizen of millennium generation, I’m fun at building up and forging myself as an excellent and tremendous human being. Since my childhood, I fueled up my vocabulary and fluency in our universal language that links every nations.

My life is not always cupcakes and rainbow. While discovering myself during my juvenile years, I face the tragic yet depressing point of my life that makes me strong and tough nowadays which is being a victim of bullying.

I really hurts a lot, I used this experience as an inspiration to move forwards and build up the best version of myself through the help and heartwarming support of my family and friends.

Junior high school, the turning point of my life when I gracefully embrace and develops my academic aptitude indulge with certain obstacles and hindrances. During my freshman years the General Emilio Aguinaldo National High Schools serves as my second home, the place where I finally found my real best friends and companion in life as well as to exceed my developing skills and potential beyond the limit. I designated and become part of an inferior, yet not so bottom section due to my moderate/ passing remarks in my elementary education. I embrace and put to my hear being part of this section. The long I studies and attach with them, I gradually discover and foresee the development of my academic potential by being a leader who manage mg fellow classmates and engages to various curricular and extra- curricular activities. It gives an opportunity to me to explore certain field of work that I didn’t engage before such as being paet of Science Investigatory Project (SIP), History Club, and being a delegate/ representative in academic competition regionally.

After that, I become one of the students belongs to cream of the top section where competition towards achievement and excellence is really hard. Its like a war were soldier needs to be fully geared in order to not beaten up or defeated. I experience some tantrum, anxiety, and difficulties in adjusting to new path of my life as it is the first time I belong in that particular section of students. I give trust to myself, to my obtained skills, ability and potential.

Reminisce of the Golden Age

The dictator and martial reigns

In the innocent Pearl of the Orient

Where change is the main intent

A defense against communal insurgence

Thus, peace and order implements

Makes our economy immense

The public view is optimistic

As erstwhile administration substantially prolific

An equilibrium among pauper and aristocratic

Where Agrarian monopoly breaks

Social discipline commend by the critiques

As mankind become docile and holistic

As Iron Rule conquers, fluctuation transpires

Injustice nor violence acquires by the ruler

Were rape, torture, and unlawful acts makes us suffer

Society wakes up from being a serf

Society inflames, turns into fire

Converge to demolish the entrenched empire

A poem about the reign of Martial Law in the Philippines during the late Marcos Administration.

"Ang Pipit"

by Levi Celerio

Ang Pipit (The Pipit) is a popular Filipino song about a bird that is known in the Philippines as a Pipit. Many Filipinos don’t realize that is an English word too, so they force-translate the song’s title as My Sparrow. The pipit is a bird in the family Motacillidae.

In this song, a bird has her wing injured by a rock thrown by a man. The bird was so hurt she couldn’t fly. Like a person, she spoke up, “Oh, cruel man. How pitiless your heart is. If I die, there is a pipit bird who will cry.”

I want to encourage all of you to witness and harmonize the masterpiece of our very own “National Artist of the Philippines for Music and Arts” Levi Celerio. The pride of Filipino talents.

Let us embrace the local song created by our fellow Filipino, spread it our across the planet to make it valued, appreciates, and recognize by multitude mass of people as a form of our gratitude for his contribution in the arousal of Philippine music arts in our country.
