CHAPTER 11

(The digital self)

Living in a world full of high tech technology is one of the reason why students is more Lazy people is more focused in social media than to give a face to face talk with their parents one of the example of that is a family dinner as I’ve notice when we eat in a restaurant people were more focus on their phone than their food and i am aware that social media is fun cause i use social media daily people tend to use their false self to the social media just to express others and having a lot of likers and followers students can’t do their homework on time because of the temptation on the social media like instead of studying they often use social media and the result of it is failing grades. But there’s also positive effect of social media in our daily life like people are more comfortable in using gadget such as smart phone, laptop and much more. Using Smartphone, they can use internet freely. Even student tends to learns from internet. There are a lot of e-books, articles and reliable source of education that they can get through simply using internet. The best and closest example of organization that use internet and website as their medium to deliver message and information to students so that the students can use it for research and stuffs. People also can easily pay up their bills, fine and much more, simply using internet. Every organization even the government has provided online application so that people can easily connect to them. For example, to apply for scholarship and even intake to university, we need to apply using online system first and then send the application manually to the preferred university. Internet is useful and it is important to us nowadays for some reason and to prevent the negative side we need to use it properly so that it can’t cause problems.

CHAPTER 10

(Political self)

From the word politics peoples mind set is corruption specially here in the Philippines corruption is everywhere that’s why politics is possibly the most hated in the world. Most people hate politics and government without really knowing what they are. Many different definitions of politics exist. One definition defines politics as the conflict between groups over something they both want. Another similar definition calls politics the "who gets what, when, and how." Government is defined as the institution that has the enforceable right to control people’s behavior. But why do people hate politics and politicians? Is it because politicians cannot be trusted, or maybe because they spend too much money? Whatever the reasons are for hating politics and government, both are needed as a mechanism for people to protect themselves. Reason why i see some post who rant about political issues in social media or a group of people waking and shouting in the streets with a signage like "pork barrel" corruption is everywhere that’s why we can’t blame people to rant cause the corruption inside the government corrupt the money they work so hard which is giving them a hard time I’ve notice that today’s society. The government spends too much time and money looking for criminals and arresting them for white collar crimes, than preventing the temptation to commit these crimes. In this sense, the government is corrupt, hiding something like problems rather than preventing them. They spend more time looking for people cheating their taxes than attempting to figure out why it is these people find it so necessary to save money that they are willing to commit a crime to do so.

CHAPTER 9

(spiritual self)

Spirituality plays a very sub sequential role in my personal life. First of all, spirituality helps me govern what is right and what is wrong in my life. Many of the decisions that I make every day, I believe are a direct result of my spirituality. For as long as I can remember I have been raised to believe that I should live my life the way God would want me to live it. Therefore, whenever I have a decision to make, I have to consider, what is right? And what is wrong? Second of all, it also helps me to feel more secure about what will happen to my spirit once my life here on earth is over. I believe that there is a better place for our spirits once we leave this earth. But in today’s generation struggles to find the purpose of their existence the struggle to find peace and support in this harsh and fast paced world. They have started to lose faith in religion because it never gives them what it promises. They fail to relate to what is preached to the Depression is popular nowadays among the younger generation. Commit suicide under peer pressure, lack of success, lack of fiends, love or satisfaction in what they do. People have lost their will power they can no longer cling to hope, hope that tomorrow might spell the arrival of brighter times. There were some people i see in the internet posting about depressions and after how many days i checked their timeline that they're already dead for me they are just lack of faith in God. The people like that for me really needs attention and advice from the church pity on them thinking there’s some people out there wanted to live more how could they do that to their self, life is a gift from god and by killing your self is a way of disrespect to our God and i pity those people who blame God for everything which the fact is we make our own future and being in a worst situation is someone’s fault not Gods fault.

CHAPTER 8

(The material self)

We're all materialists, to one extent or another. We all use and enjoy material goods in our daily lives, and most of us simply couldn't get by without them. And there's nothing wrong with that, as long as the desire for material goods doesn't control us and our actions. We becomes an obstacle when we start allowing things "or the desire for things" to control us, to keep us focused on things outside ourselves rather than on things that would be truly beneficial to us, such as our spiritual development, our relationships, our learning, our peace of mind is a distraction. It gives us a direction in which we can focus our attention and our energies that seems to be attainable. After all, if I want a new stereo system or a closet full of new clothes, all I have to do is pay money or use credit to get them. I know which ones I want, and I know where to find them. The people who sell things have made it so easy for us to buy that fulfilling our materialistic cravings never has been easier, which is a very unfortunate fact for the millions of people who are now trapped under a mountain of debt with no realistic way out. They are some people have thousands of examples to see who have been "successful" in acquiring material wealth, but who have been miserably empty inside. Many people feel that by acquiring just the right material goods, they can make other people see them in a positive light. In other words, they buy their new car or clothes or electronic gadget in order to impress others. They're often setting themselves up for great disappointment when others don't react as they think they should which lead them to be anxiety, insecurity, and depression for those people who overly materialistic.

CHAPTER 7

(The sexual self)

As I’ve notice in this generation being bisexual and homosexual is popular and i don’t have an idea why being bisexual or homosexual is so popular nowadays there is a group called LGBTQ for the people who isn’t straight a group where gays and tomboy have a right to be respected for some reason they're still a person who isn’t perfect at all cause before netizens bullied them from who they are like saying "walay bayot sa bible" and "tomboy way lamoy" in that case they have the courage to make a group where lesbian and gay should be respected and for the mere fact that the disease called AIDS is fastly approaching and the percentage of people who have aids has increase specially those who work in the call center my friend once told me before she works as a call center agent there were a specific room where they could sleep like a resting area during their break she told me that her workmates is doing some sexual intercourse towards each other specially both men’s she also told me that that’s the way they relieve stress from work. Thank god there’s a law called RH law where people are free to use condoms and oral contraceptive pills and birth control these law refers to method that are used to prevent pregnancy it also guarantees universal access to methods of contraception, fertility control and specially prevention and treatment of HIV or AIDS like what I’ve said the cases of HIV among the youth is rising it also aims that couples and woman can freely to use this protection to prevent such unnecessary things so that we should be aware of those things cause those cases were so popular nowadays but there are some people who isn’t aware of it yet that’s why there are sex education where people could educated about such things like that.

CHAPTER 6

(The physical self)

One day my mom and i goes shopping at the mall the sales lady is looking at  the both of us and couldn’t help but ask us out of curiosity like are you two siblings my mom laugh and told her that i was her daughter she’s not the only one ask us with the same question cause my mother still young and my face looks more similar to her like her eyes nose and lips but the shape of my face is similar to my father my mother has a white complexion while my father is more darker skin compared to her I’m so luck for my parents because of my physical appearance people always telling me that I’m beautiful which is true yes! Joke but I’m happy of what i look because of my parents genes reason why I’ve got a lot of self-esteem and confident about myself i think there’s no ugly people for me there just lack of self-confidence i believe if you’re more confident about yourself people tend to notice you because you have some spirit and proud of who you are i think people with confident are the best cause even though they know about they're flaws there still confident about their self. People now a days become more judgmental about how you look they easily judge you all of a sudden without knowing the true you such as being ugly people tend to tell you some hurtful words which is so insensitive towards a person’s feelings they didn’t think about what a person would feel of saying those harsh words as i notice if you have a good appearance you easily get a job in this generation beauty is everything specially in Korea ugly people were few because of plastic surgery and for those who has natural beauty people don’t notice the real beauty at all because the surgical face is more prettier than the natural one i once watch a drama movie about beauty and the actress said that "it is unfair cause ugly people are now few because of plastic surgery" I’m not saying that I’m against it cause for me being contented of what god has given you is everything for me I’m contented of how i look right now cause i get that from my parents genes and there’s no way i would do plastic surgery in the future cause born with a natural face is God’s gift.

CHAPTER 5

(The western and eastern concept of the self)

 There was this moment I’ve read something saying "Do not do to others what you would not want others do to you" that golden rule hit me hard in the head thinking some realizations in life for me that was the time i remember that was my mother always told me but i didn’t listen to her there was this moment that my friends and i hide my friend cellphone we didn’t know that that cellphone is important to she really is trying to find her phone and we laugh at her secretly and we will give it back to her if she cry, she was looking at nowhere and cried so hard and give it back to her and she told us that her heart got hurt of what we done i felt guilty at that time after weeks i was there target and I’m so hurt cause i also lost my phone wala nako kabalo sakong buhaton at that moment i was so angry cause i know they were the one who hide it at that time vie realized that now i know what my friend feels that time and it’s not funny at all that we hide her phone i realize it just that moment that not all jokes are funny i didn’t know that vie hurt someone because i was so heartless at that time so that before i do something i think twice if it was okay to do it or not even though people might not like you for who you are or the best example is if you don’t like someone just respect them because there still a person there not perfect and they also deserve to be respected even though they didn’t respect us cause the biggest thing you would do to be a good person is to accept and respect someone’s personality i believe that respect has a good relationship towards a person to create a better and peaceful life.

CHAPTER 4

(psychological perspective of the self)

My friends and i went home after school and do chitchat of some stuffs about ourselves and past stories about our experiences back when we were still in high school then i suddenly remember back then that vie been into a catfight with my classmates when i was still a 4th year students of Davao City National High school i told them there was this incident that naa lage koy nakaaway sa school my friend told me that don’t fight back cause they put the blame on me even though i didn’t do anything wrong at that time i didn’t fight back to my classmate for some reason even though sobra na kaayo sila because if i fight back di jd mi kampihan it’s because sipsip sila i know myself that much that what i did just right after that incident after 3 weeks i saw them talking about me in the faculty and my evil side is starting to shine bright like a diamond but i think twice cause i know myself that i might hurt her physically which i almost do that after that incident my ego got hurt at the moment the still remaining months plastic ko sa ilaha i also do back stab them when they aren’t around after we graduate she told me she was sorry for all the bad things in the past and i forgive her and now were good friends even though my experience before was bad i still forgive her cause i know that’s the good thing to do whenever i see her around school we smiled at each other like there’s never a bad past between the two of us for me before i do such things like that i reflect it first if that was the good thing to do and it helps me out to be a good Samaritan i believe that more friends is better than having a lot of enemies that just cause stress for me i only lived once i forget the haters cause somebody loves me and i know there’s some people who might not like me but at least respect them so that lessen the war against the world. Peace to the world and its axis.

CHAPTER 3

(An Anthropological conceptualization of the self)

I am that daughter that was so spoiled in everything i am fully aware of that but not so spoiled like my parents will suffer from that kind of attitude that’s why my mother have rules in the house like i do the dishes every after we eat dinner and even when i wake up in the morning specially weekends i helped her clean the house it’s like that’s our culture in the house that’s why i kind adopt it just a little bit when I’m not in our place specially I’m in someone’s place cause my mom educate me on how to respect others couture the respect is the most important thing to put in mind that’s why she always repeats that the biggest highlight is that i should respect someone specially I’m in other places cause i know the first teacher who will educate me is my parents they doesn’t want me to be judged by other people that’s why she always reminding me some good cultural stuffs that’s why i got good stuffs on her reason why people respect me cause respect is the key and i got it from my mother i inherit it to her and I’m proud of it that’s why I’m conscious on my behavior sometimes cause now a days i know people easily judge me when i do something wrong just for once and i should be conscious of myself specially when I’m not in my house i know that not all the time my actions may be correct or not but i can’t please someone to judge me so that judge me nalang that’s the thing in my mind and also because I’m just a person i commit mistake all the people around the world cause nobody’s perfect except god everybody’s sinful and i admit it.

CHAPTER 2

(Sociological perspective of the self as a product of society)

 As i roll out of bed and see myself in the mirror as a grown young lady. My mind does flash back when i was a little girl my mom have me when she was 19 years old she was really young at that time cause she doesn’t have parents anymore her mother passed away when she was 8 years old and her father when she was 18 years old my Lolo is alcoholic and doesn’t care about my mother when he’s drunk i felt so sorry for her because of what she was going through with her life .But now I’m so lucky that my father’s not like that and here goes the real story so back when i was just 3 years old i was so maldita daw and the first thing that i spoke is mama the other thing is like blahblahblah or boobooboo but they think I’m cute, I’m like i know right! And then i turned 5 years old i am now good in speaking I’m kind shy of stranger people but when it comes to my parents and cousins I’m really that talkative like chismis here and there my mouth won’t shut up i am that talkative kind of person but until now I’m still like that hahaha I’m so walay buot and there it goes i turned 9 years old i begun to understand things little by little and start thinking and making decisions on my own on that time I’m starting to realize things and also do have some expectation on that age i really do love make up that’s my hobby as the time we grow up we really do change cause time is a process i really do love flashbacks thinking how i am now comparing on that day.

CHAPTER 1

(philosophical perspective of the self)

It was early in the morning i open my eyes and see the reflection on the sun on my walls i smiled, cause i know that this day will be more exciting that time i knew that i will be experiencing more things in life not just to experience something but also to learn from different things i realized that when we grow up we experience failure and success and for me that’s how we construct ourselves. There for i conclude that all the knowledge from my past experiences is the reason why i become wiser and bolder. I believe that every struggle i face or new experiences i get that’s the reason why i become the better version of myself. I experience reality and know how to control myself unlike before i believe that every single day i construct myself little by little cause i face different kinds of experiences in life i know that I’m not there yet ,where i can think more matured and i also expect more struggles in life cause that’s what life is i just lessen my immaturity and all the things that i realized before that i was wrong and now i am fully aware of it I’m so excited to face a struggle in my life cause for me it is worth it thinking struggling is also learning to build the better version of myself not now but for the future so that i will become strong and stand up on my feet to face whatever struggle it may be. Life is hard struggle and failure is there it’s a part of someone’s life it’s a part of being who we are as a person it really depends on someone on how they handle it without a lot of procrastination cause for me i do that many times but realization really hit me hard to open my eyes to reality and really strive hard to be a better version of myself cause i think all the things I’ve done right was really worth it.
