Simplicity is my Happiness

My name is Justine Dave, and my friends call me “tindeyb”. I studied elementary in Camanggaan Elementary School from Kinder to Grade 3 and transferred to Nagapanaoan Elementary School from Grade 4 to Grade 6. I am now a Grade 10 Special Science Class student in Ilocos Sur National High School. My dream since I was a child is to become a Civil Engineer. I love listening to music, and I enjoy watching documentaries and dramas during my rest time.

I am proud to say that I am a fanboy. I love listening to music, especially to KPOP and BTS. I started listening to KPOP in 2018, but I became a fan in September 2019 because of BTS. During this pandemic, my knowledge about KPOP became wider, and participating in different KPOP fandom activities makes me busy. Listening to KPOP music makes me happy when I'm sad and makes me relax when I feel so stressed, frustrated, and angry. I also enjoy watching documentaries and Korean Dramas during my rest time. I do have a passion in singing before, but due to puberty, the sound or tune of my voice has changed, and my confidence gets a little bit low. I am still singing these days, but it's just not good or stable as before. I am a very emotional person, and I get angry and frustrated easily. I am shy when I'm with strangers, but I'm a fun person to be with when we get to know each other. I love being alone because it feels so peaceful, and by the way, I am ISFJ. I am doing good in my academics, actually a consistent honor student since Elementary.

I do not have any unique trait as a person, but I am happy and contented with what life God gave to me. I am very thankful to him for always guiding me with every decision I make and everything I do as I grow up. I am hoping that one day, all the things I want for myself will be aimed at. I will work hard, will continue working hard until I achieve all the dreams I want for my life.

“The Right Type of Resilience”

We Filipinos are known because of our resiliency. Resilience means the capacity to recover quickly from problems or difficulties. The Philippines is very vulnerable to disasters, it is one of the natural hazard-prone countries in the world. The country is highly prone to natural disasters like earthquakes, tropical cyclones, floods, and volcanic eruptions. Destructions of agricultural products, houses, and government properties always happen after a disaster. But Filipinos will try to overcome this suffering and traumatic disaster experience, showing their resiliency. In an article written by Pamela, she stated that “Every time, the Filipino nation has to endure, brave the chaos, and stand up the next day. It is from this that we’ve grown to be called a resilient nation. Because we have had to become one.” Being resilient is not a bad thing, but we tend to forget that we’re supposed to be striving for something more. What we need to do af...

“To Learn: Overcome and Try"

3 rd quarter is coming to end, time really moves so fast. One more quarter to finish and my Grade 10 journey will going to end already. Another learning experiences, challenges and discoveries. The feeling that I have felt during the 3 rd quarter is just incomparable from the other quarter’s that had passed. I felt so pressured because there are too many task and works to do, there are times that the given task is not what I am good at doing. I’m so down reading the number of task given in every subjects, I’m so pressured, but I pushed myself despite the pressure and stress I am feeling. I conquer my pressure, I tried my best in doing every task given even though some of them are not what I am good at. I can still say that I did well during 3 rd quarter, despite the problems and emotional days that I had experienced. Life is all about learning, and for you to learn more, you need to over...
