Hello I am kai25, 21 years old and I'm from the province of Benguet Where Life Is Better. I finished my Senior High School at University of the Cordilleras. I'm currently studying Industrial Engineering at Benguet State University. I chose Industrial Engineering because of the worldwide opportunities offered like working on optimization and improving existing processes within manufacturing healthcare, and other industries.
My family is my inspiration to pursue and give my best to all things that I will do. Our family is not like the others who has that very close bonding growing up but we have a good relationship inside the family. We've faced a lot of storm specially about the health of our parents, it's very hard to handle specially when your the one who is there in the front line to take care of them. But this challenges give me the urge that I want to secure my parents health for them to stay longer by my side. They're the first reason, specially my mother, why I need to keep moving even though there's a time that I already want to give up this life. And as they say just like the vehicle it needs fuel for them to work and my family is my own fuel.
These are my jolly cousins, who are always there during to cheer me up.

I like to play games such as Mobile Legends and Call of Duty Mobile. I love playing mobile game's especially in my free time or when I'm bored because it can make me at ease. It is also enjoyable and exciting when I'm playing with my peers. I also play with my family which also makes our bond stronger. Mobile games can also be my stress reliever and I can connect to other people making a bond. Skill Development and Social Connection was the main idea of playing mobile games. Skill Development because it helps me improve concentration, problem solving, and brain training. Even though many people see mobile games as a waste of time, appealing in this type of entertainment has actual advantage that should not be ignored. First, It improves my mood because the sense of accomplishment comes from hitting several significant milestones in my favorite game is the best mood enhancer there is. The sense of accomplishment I get from finishing a challenging level gives me a lasting sense of competence throughout the rest of the day. Second, continuous brain stimulation because there are tons of puzzles and brain-training activities in modern mobile games, we have a plethora of alternatives to expand your brain capacity while solving puzzles , from easy-seeming riddles and stimulating anagrams to advance strategic games. Lastly, It builds social communities because of the shared interest most people use this as a media to communicate with people even though they are strangers.
I also love to cook food because I can express myself while cooking it makes me happy especially when I cook for others and seeing them enjoying the food I cooked and that gives me satisfaction that motivates me more to cook and try new dishes. My family tells me that cooking is all about the love you put while in the process of it. Cooking for my loved ones shows how I loved and cared them. And also I love cooking because I can customize on how my dish will taste and with cooking I can show how innovative a one person can be. When cooking there’s something very magical. It is more than just cooking delectable meals for other people and myself. I indulge to cooking because cooking can be a method to find my comfort and to connect my inner creative side through a kind of culinary therapy. Cooking lets me express myself while taking care of my body and spirit, from finding ingredients to trying out new recipes. Cooking at home makes me aware of what ingredients are in my food which helps me limit portion sizes and steer clear of processed foods harmful additives. I may now easily maintain a healthy lifestyle by mixing a healthy lifestyle by mixing healthy ingredients to mouthwatering recipes that suits my tatse.

Travelling was also a part of me because it makes me feel the freedom inside me. Free from all the chaos or stressful life that I have. It makes me relax and relieved by seeing the different and wonderful views. And also, it give me inspiration to see that there is more beautiful things to see in life. To move forward despite of everything. There are several reason why I love travelling. First, challenging myself because I feel like I'm living a routinely monotonous life. Travelling is the best place to test myself to step outside my comfort zone. Overcoming challenges will enhance my confidence and recognizing my abilities. Second, one of the main reason I travel is to learn. I hope to learn something new and come away with new experiences. Travelling is more instructive experience than taking classes in college. Every destination has something special to offer and greatest way to learn is to fully immerse oneself in a foreign or unknown environment. Lastly, expanding my perspective because I view travelling as a path toward personal development, mental illness, and spiritual enlightenment. Taking my time to visit a new location is physically and metaphorically open my eyes to things that I have never seen before. This new encounters allow me to learn more about myself in the way that I could not be able to do if I remained in my comfort zone.
