My Exposure to Different Media

By Dexiome
  • Yu-Gi-Oh!

    Yu-Gi-Oh!
    Yu-Gi-Oh is basically an anime that involves players using a special deck of cards that make monsters appear on the field to battle themselves out. Apparently when I was young, I really liked this anime. It was one of the morning shows in TV that was dubbed in Tagalog. My mother also said that I would always sing along with the opening and ending songs of the show. This was also the first time I was exposed to TV.

  • My First Coloring Books and Crayons

    My First Coloring Books and Crayons
    Coloring books and crayons are indeed some of the few first best friends a child can make. It can pique one's own interest and imagination. For me, my first coloring book was actually great. The images were really engaging for a child when I was young. This was also the time that orange became my favorite color. Whenever I use crayons I would always use orange. I do this because I get a feeling of warmth and certainty when I see the color orange. Image Source: fetishbox.us/
  • Pencil and Paper

    Pencil and Paper
    Pencil and Paper are one of the few things that a child needs when he/she is going to study in school. A pencil that will be used for writing, and a paper that will be used for writing on it. When I was 6 years old, I went to my very first school, St. Gabriel Academy. There I was trained and exposed to many experiences. One of which is writing. It was a really difficult task to do. Everything was hard to write including the letters "O" and "C". Funny right? Image Source: securityinamerica.com
  • Game Boy

    Game Boy
    Game boy is used for playing and mostly for entertainment. It was really popular around the time that my parents first bought me one. The first one that I had was blue and the first that I played was pokemon. I was awarded by my parents because I was the top 3 in my section in kindergarten. It was a really great experience to play such games around that time especially for a kid like me! So from that point on, my love towards pokemon grew.

  • First Computer Set

    First Computer Set
    In our era today, computers are widely used and produced for different purposes. It comes in many sizes and models but my very first exposure to a computer set was back in 2008. My father just bought a new computer set for the family. I was really excited as to how I can use it because it was new to me. I watched him turn it on and I was really surprised as to how words can be displayed on a tiny box. There, I played my very first game of pinball! Image Source: electronics.howstuffworks.com/
  • Friendster

    Friendster
    Friendster is like the older version of Facebook. It's basically a social media site where you get to create your own account and see the one's that others made as well. On this year, I tried to create my own friendster account. I didn't exactly know what it was for but it was very popular at that time. I can still remember my wallpaper back then was a galaxy and then my picture was an anime character named, Ichigo. It didn't last but it was fun! Image Source: www.underconsideration.com/
  • PSP

    PSP
    PSP is like game boy but much high tech. You can play all sorts of games through it with high quality definition. My very first PSP was given to me back in 2009. I had all sorts of fun while using it. My favorite games would be monster hunter and any first person shooting game. I really liked the quality of the games. It was so HD and this really made an impact towards my inclination in playing it. It was a fun experience but unfortunately, I lost it in 2012. Image Source: upload.wikimedia.org
  • Facebook

    Facebook
    As we all know, facebook is a social media site that everyone uses nowadays. Just like with friendster, you can create your own account and let others see it but this time you can also communicate with them and write posts and see the posts of others as well. I first created my facebook account back in 2010. It was becoming very popular at that time and I wanted to test it out for myself. It was very fun especially with the games I can play like Pet Society. Image Source: www.famouslogos.us
  • Typewriter and Laptop

    Typewriter and Laptop
    Typewriters and laptops are two different technologies of two different generations. Both are used for typing of course and for other purposes, especially with laptops. During this year, I was able to use a typewriter at my grandparent's house. The feeling while using it was different with a keyboard. It was really fascinating to see something like that because all I know was all about computers. I didn't know there was something old like that.

  • Typewriter and Laptops (Continuation)

    Typewriter and Laptops (Continuation)
    At the same year, I was also able to use my father's laptop for his work. I was fascinated as well as to how small it is compared to a computer set. The functions were the same and all but it really amused me. I played an offline game there and it was fun. For me, laptops are convenient because you can carry them anywhere you go.
  • Twitter

    Twitter
    In Twitter you can create your own account and post stuffs and communicate with other people online although you can't really see if they're online or not. It's a social media site that is dominant nowadays. I first created my twitter account back in 2012. It was all the talk during this time and my friends recommended me to use it. I was not amused and I really didn't see the sense of using it so I didn't use it fully until I reached high school. Image Source: www.mareeg.com/
  • Touch Screen Laptop

    Touch Screen Laptop
    This kind of laptop is just like any laptop but with an added feature - you can touch the screen to navigate your desktop. My father gave it to me when I graduated from elementary. It was really awesome because you can actually touch its screen and you can navigate your desktop through it. For me, it was really high tech and I really liked how it was made. It was really cool because it was new to me and I was just happy because I just recently graduated. Image Source: facebook.com/carlmiranda
  • League of Legends (LoL)

    League of Legends (LoL)
    League of Legends (LoL) is an online game that is very popular nowadays. In here, you can use various champions to battle it out with other players in different maps. I first played LoL back in 2014. I was really confused as to how I should play it. Eventually, I gained more experience and later on improved my skills in playing the game. It's really fun and amusing and it really acts as one of my stress relievers other than reading, writing, and sleeping. Image Source: na.leagueoflegends.com
  • Edmodo

    Edmodo
    Edmodo is an online class where you can submit and post various documents for students and teachers alike. It's main purpose is to help make studying and teaching easy. During this time, an English student teacher asked us to create an edmodo account. It was really new to me. So I complied and created my own account. It's actually easy to use and to understand even if it was my first time, I immediately understood its gist. It made my work easy and simple. (The image used in this part is mine)
  • Printer

    Printer
    Printers are now commonly used by everyone and just like how its name suggests, it is mainly used for printing works. My parents first bought us a printer just last year. They bought it because they saw how hassling it is to go to a computer shop and then print your works there. It's time consuming and expensive especially when there are a lot to print. So to address this problem, they bought one and it really made my life easy from that point on. Image Source: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com
  • Mini CPU

    Mini CPU
    A CPU is like our brains. This is where all the magic happens and it enables a computer to function. My father recently bought us a new cpu. It was not just like the old ones that I know but not only it was slimmer, it was also tinier. It's just like a small cube as shown in the illustration. The brand was ASUS and I was shocked that there was something like that. I don't know if anything changed but I believe that everything became faster in my PC. Image Source: cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net
