radio
Radio is the technology of using radio waves to carry information, such as sound, by systematically modulating properties of electromagnetic energy waves. This 19-year-old radio is my first music player, and maybe toy. Playing with its numerous buttons and watching as the CD and cassette drive open was my very idea of fun.

nursery rhymes
Singing and listening to nursery rhymes can improve fine motor skills and coordination and help develop an ear for our language. Children songs definitely gave me the eariest Last Song Syndrome experience in my life. ~itsy bitsy spideeer~

flash card
A flashcard or flash card is a card bearing information, as words or numbers, on either or both sides, used in classroom drills or in private study. Flash Cards, for me, are the best medium to remember things; with pictures and all. I can also not forget the importance of speed in flash cards sessions with my teachers in kindergarten/

cinema
A cinema is a place where people go to watch films for entertainment. In the Philippines, it is commonly located in supermalls but there are also several movie theaters around Metro Manila. Since 2004, I've been exposed to MMFF every December and watch mainstream films.

text books
A textbook or coursebook (UK English) is a manual of instruction in any branch of study. Textbooks are produced according to the demands of educational institutions. Schoolbooks are textbooks and other books used in schools. Textbooks may be the most appropriate and academic way for kids, like a 5-year-old me, to learn. Back then, I actually liked learning and answering worksheets on books.

television
Television might have been my most prominent source of visual entertainment. It was really fun before - watching dramas with my family in our living room in times when home works are not a bother yet.

telephone
A telephone is a telecommunications device that permits two or more users to conduct a conversation when they are too far apart to be heard directly. Before Yahoo Messenger and texts, a landline is my medium of communication to my friends. And parents.

y8[dot]com
What is a childhood without y8? From cooking games, to driving and dress ups, y8 is a primary site for that. The free time of my childhood was spent on this, but with great moderation of my parents.

nickelodeon
Nickelodeon is a American cable network that practically gave me childhood. From TV shows (victorious, iCarly, Big Time Rush, and of course Spongebob Squarepants). And who's gonna miss those games on their official website? Not me.

pocket xp
Pocket XP is a handheld game console that might or might not cause disputes within siblings. I remember this deice being the biggest reason for me to fight back then. I barely touched that blue thing with eight black buttons, a very small screen but with my parent's negotiating skills, I managed to play for a few times. It was both fun and annoying.

newspaper
A newspaper is a periodical publication containing written information about current events. Newspapers can cover wide variety of fields such as politics and entertainment. Because of some activities at school, we are required to read newspaper articles for a period of time and later on, in grade 6 to be precise, I became more knowledgeable through our school newspaper: The Ladder.

sns
Social Networking Sites such as facebook, twitter, instagram, tumblr, snapchat, tumblr and wordpress allow me to express my thoughts and feelings in the internet. They give me the capability to create and share ideas in just few clicks. These computer-mediated technologies also helps me to connect more and easier to people. However I think these should be moderated, especially for millennials and generation z.

novels books

I started taking interest in young adult fiction books since the start of my teen age years. Until now, I am travelling to many universe, meeting new people and half experiencing events.

spotify
Spotify is a digital music service that gives you access to millions of songs. Combined with speakers, I may have the rock and roll and intense jamming moments because in spotify, almost every song I need is easily accessed. Except Day6 songs, they really have to open their spotify channel.
