Social media is an extension of ourselves and our personality, be responsible, cautious, and mindful in using it 'coz it offers both advantages and both disadvantages. Just be true to yourself and uncover own self realizations.

Too much of everything is a bad thing, that's an idea we should always abide by.
And it is also applicable to the way we use social media. We should consume the
contents available to us in a moderate way.

We humans are social creatures, and while most of us rely on social media platforms
in order to connect with each other, we shouldn't let it be the only for us to socialize.
Always be mindful regarding the effects of social media on your health,
if prolong usage of it causes you any feeling of anxiety, depression, isolation
and fear of missing out (FOMO). You should set limit and filter how you interact
with the virtual world.

Even in time of a pandemic, we could always socialize with our family members and
engage in activities that improve our health all while obeying social distancing policies.
Don't let the world you see on your screen completely replace the real world we live in.

It's a good day to be thankful for your online friends!

The digital world can become a space for us to improve our social lives! Little do we know, but our social media profiles are instrumental on establishing who we are as we use it to interact with other people in the virtual world. If we use technology in the right way it can lead us to positive and flourishing personal growth! Do you recall someone who had helped you make the virtual world a safe and informative space?

"Ang Babaeng Allergic sa Wifi"
Is a movie that taught us several lesson that will make us realize the real essence of life:

1. Importance of reality outside the digital world.

2. Consequences of digital world, it can do more harm (bullying, addiction, fake news)

3. Life becomes more toxic

4. Investing more time online making a person forget to connect the nature, the environment and other people offline which can be more active and fun.

5. Private matters are not for sharing

6. Other people are more concerned with the digital version of their lives to the point that they forget to live in the moment and cherish every second.

7. Radiation from wifi & smartphones can be harmful.

8. It can also cause EHS syndrome.

9. Internet or signal cause stress .

10. Sometimes the relationship formed online is superficial compared to the one that is created in real life.

11. Enjoy doing traditional things cause somehoe it can create better memories.

12. We focus on the digital version of our selves to the point that we forget to be who we really are.

13. Because of the online world, life is so much faster. We are missing the reality and other things that are more exciting.

14. It is difficult to trust someone online.

15. Sometimes do not become real online because we are considering what other might think and how they wanted to see us. People based their self presentation on the trend and the standards set by the society.

Do not forget to live your life to explore and express, not to impress.

Social media allows us to have our very own space and while that is true for everyone, we should always be responsible and careful enough to not invade others' space. Always be mindful, because everything you post will stay in the internet for as long as forever. And it can intentionally or unintentionally affect people in many ways, like change in perspective, losing confidence, mental health deterioration and many more, all causing direct impacts to a person's life.

Kapwa, we hope that our posts for the past few days helped you unpack your "self" in various aspects - physical, sexual, material, spiritual, political, and digital. Remember to balance each aspect of the self well, and may those help you in search of your self-identity.

It's Christmas Eve, kapwa! Enjoy it with your loved ones & together, celebrate the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. 💝🎄🎅🙏

It's weird how people are so concerned with the digital version of their lives. People follow the trends and present themselves online based on how they want others to see them. We forget who we really are and to live in the moment. We all need to realize the importance of reality outside the digital world we have today. Since what we have online might not be authentic because people can easily pretend to be someone else for personal interests or worse, to cause you harm. That's why we also need to know the consequences of the internet to avoid them.

Kapwa, let's enjoy life outside the digital world. It's happier to create memories with tangible people & things than those inside your phone.

You can make a public identity through your political self. Filipinos are rich in traits that show our Filipino culture. The most well known traits of Filipinos are being hospitable to guests, resiliency, and being jolly despite life's challenges. The saying of "Po" and "Opo" also depicts our culture. Let us take care of our culture and continue to enrich them for future generations to come.

Being politically aware is also important in building our political selves because we are not just called Filipinos by name, we must live it. Knowing our rights and responsibilities as Filipinos, participating and involving ourselves to political issues, using our votes to elect officials that are true to their sworn duties, and making use of our voices toward change and development are some of the many ways on how to express our political selves.

Kapwa, be not just a Filipino by name, rather be a Filipino in mind, word, deed, and heart.

2020 has been a tremendously difficult and painful year for the whole world, especially to our country, the Philippines. The Taal Volcano eruption, numerous typhoons, earthquakes, political issues, injustices, killings, and the most devastating, the pandemic, challenged most of the Filipinos. But look at us, we are still here fighting to survive because we have our God. He who is above all these challenges will give us hope and faith to stand up and move forward. Let us not forget to pray and continue to improve our relationship with the God, who we proclaim and recognize. Find comfort in your spiritual selves when everything seems to fail you.

Trust in Him and stay safe, kapwa!

Material things were made to make our lives easier, but these things should not define us. There's nothing wrong to treat yourself with luxurious things out of your hard-earned money. However, what is too much is harmful. You might live life depending on the things you acquire and lose your authentic self and the true meaning of life. It's beyond those expensive things that we find true happiness and contentment.

Just some reminders, kapwa:

- Know exactly the stage of love you're into, if it's just lust, falling in love, or attachment. By that, you'll know how to differentiate them.

- Be a responsible sexual being. Every fragile action may lead to unwanted results.

- Learn to accept the diversity of sexual behavior. We are all human beings, no matter what our gender is. It does not lessen our rights & morality as a person.

We are all sexual beings, and it is a part of the self that we should learn to understand and control.

People always make their first impression based on how someone looks, because physical self is the concrete and most visible aspect of a person that can be easily seen or observed. It is the first thing we present to others that allows them to generate their first impression. Having a clear and fair skin, pointed nose, on fleek eyebrows, and sexy body are some of the beauty standards set by the society. Most of us strive to achieve these standards to be able to feel the sense of belongingness and acceptance.

But, kapwa, it is not necessary to alter yourself in order to feel accepted. You don't need to do things just to follow the standard set by the people. If you really want to enhance your appearance, do it for the sake of yourself and not to please others and not to follow the trend of society. Each one of us has our own kind of beauty given by God. Learn to accept your flaws because that's what make you unique. Don't ever compare yourself to anyone and use their judgments against yourself to feel less confident on your physical appearance. Acceptance must start within you, because one's you learn to love yourself, you will no longer seek for other's validation and you'll realize your value and worth.

Kapwa, you are beautiful just the way you are.

Every individual has their own way of defining themselves. At first, we tend to use different adjectives to justify our definition. We sometimes identify ourselves as someone who is simple, strong, smart, adventurous, attractive, shy or an independent person and many more. But, it doesn't end there. Most of us are not aware that there are different components of self that we must know because unconsciously we present it and it plays a major role in defining ourselves, our individuality.

The physical appearance, sexual characteristics, our relationship with worldly possessions or material things, connection with our God, involvement in political aspects, and engagement to digital technology have something to do on how we define one's self.

Unpacking the self is an important thing to achieve because by that we will be able to further appreciate and love ourselves and our connection and relationship to the people around us. We must know who we are first to be able to have a better connection with others. Kinaiya Natin means being in our authentic character or self while in relation to others.

Let us discover more. Together let's explore to fully unpack our own unique selves.
