2ND QUARTER E-PORTFOLIO (WEEK 4)

 

DISCUSSION

1. I believe that it is jealousy that triggered that behavior of Eric. He is being manipulative and is not letting Shirley to go anywhere but him. His obsession has taken over him, too. He didn’t give Shirley the freedom and space she needed. Despite of everything that’s going on between them, maybe we should consider Eric’s past for he maybe suffered from a traumatic experience that caused his behavior. Though, he’s behavior is inarguably wrong. This led to a toxic relationship between him and Shirley. I think he’s not yet ready to enter a relationship if he’s not taking good care of himself in the first place.
2. This is how Shirley described how she felt with Eric. It felt like the world became smaller and is only consists of them. It means that she is limited by Eric to be by his side only. It can be reflected from her not being able to talk to her friends and workers. This only explained how Eric was being jealous and obsessed yielding to their toxic relationship.
3. I can reflect that love always needs trust. Trust is a weapon that can prevent toxic relationship caused by jealousy and obsession. Obsession is not love and never was. Being afraid to lose the one you love is understandable but it doesn’t mean you have to limit them to yourself. Trust has always been the key to every relationship. Trust your partner as much as you trust yourself, make them feel free and trusted for this will make your relationship thrive and become stronger.

REFLECTION:

1. The song implies self-love and self-care before others. It is clearly depicted in the lyrics “mabuti nang mag-isa nang makilala ko muna ang sarili”. It means that it is better to be with you first and know yourself before knowing others. It is also said that “minsan hindi pag-ibig ang sagot”. It is clearly a message that sometimes you don’t need others to love you and make you feel happy, it is yourself and that is more than enough. Hence, the song is about prioritizing yourself. Learn to grow and love yourself before committing a relationship with others for it will make you a better and stronger person.
2.  After listening and reflecting to the song, I realized that self-love is as necessary as the basic personal needs. You won’t be able to live without it. I realized that learning to love yourself can make you feel stronger and you can surpass any challenge that will come to you. Loving and caring yourself yields to happiness and self-fulfillment which is very important. I realized that it is also significant for you to learn how to love yourself before entering a serious relationship with others, because it makes u feel fearless and able to love others like how you love yourself.

ACTIVITY

Based on the topic, I have learned that mini-survey may help me in:

          Answering my questions. This will serve as a key to find the next phase of my research. It can be used to identify my research’s feasibility. Therefore, mini surveys can be done or conducted when you only have short span of time and help your research to be effective.

I can do a mini survey by:

          Creating questions based on my objectives. I can also do it through interviews to have more reliable content. I will choose the respondents that will fit my study and research. My survey will have a limited amount of respondents for it to be less time consuming and easy to asses.
