Do you ever see a mysterious, haunted, old door in a mysterious and unfamiliar forest and feel like it is full of monsters on the other side and is waiting to strangle and devour you? Well, what are you waiting for? GET OUT OF HERE AND STAY OUT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!

Hello there!

It seems you have stumbled upon the key to my secret nook! Well, that is unfortunate. If you are reading this because you think it is all fun and games, my advice is: close this site right now. Always trust your intuition and try to lead a normal life.

This is a world of great turmoil and madness, with some of the wildest dreams you could ever imagine. For those who do not know who Gandalf is, those who don't dance in the rain, or those who do not know the colors of the winds, they will be engulfed in flames, IMMEDIATELY. (Like, right now. Don't worry, though, it will only take you back to the moment before you opened this site. Just wait. 3... 2.. 1. POOF)

If you are still reading this, that's bad. It means that you are now trapped here with me. You probably identify yourself within these pages. Actually, you might have a chance to get out of here, only if you finish the quests. Fair warning though, as the old guardian of this nook, don't follow the will-o'-the-wisp (blue flame). Ignore them. Turn around. Take another path. It's only a matter of time before they sense you too, and they'll come for you.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

I'M KIDDING. All I said earlier was a joke. Well, at least some of it. Anyway, so much of that.

Welcome to the world of rain, dear reader. This is a safe space for you and me. You are one lucky being to visit my nook. This is a tale to know another side of me and my secrets. Enjoy your journey along the way and don't linger around for too long.

AND REMEMBER YOUR QUEST!

When you encounter them, please greet them warmly and kindly.

Hello! Here's an umbrella for you. (=0_0=)

My name is Kieven Allie B. Odtojan.

I am still basking in the bliss of seventeen, a Libra kid and an INFJ. I was born and raised in my quiet hometown, the Municipality of Loreto, Agusan del Sur, CARAGA Region. If you are curious, let me paint a picture of my beloved hometown.

I once shared with my classmates about the lack of fancy malls or towering skyscrapers in my hometown. Instead, we have the largest marsh in the Philippines—the Agusan Marsh—an ecosystem to a diverse species of wildlife.

Among the rivers that connects this vast wetland to the mainland is the Umayam River, flowing through our municipality. Aside being the gateway to the marsh, the Umayam River also serves as the heart of our hometown and the life that nurtured the Lumads in Loreto. Although I was not a Manobo descent, I grew up deeply to their rich culture—an opportunity for which I am most grateful.

From dancing to their arts to wearing their traditional textiles and learning their dialect, this aspect of my upbringing has greatly influenced and shaped me into the person I am today. It has instilled in me a deep sense of cultural sensitivity, keeping me rooted, and fostering a deep appreciation for life.

Everyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with the color Green. The reason behind this is actually just because of my genuine fascination with nature.

As a result, my Instagram account is now a lush shade of green!

Instagram is a cornerstone of my daily media consumption. Naturally, my page has grown into a moss of green collage, and I'm hopeful it will have even more pictures by the end of this year.

Instagram serves as a convenient platform for me to upload my photos privately. Unlike Facebook, where my page is more public, Instagram is reserved for my close friends. Moreover, I use this app to update my story and share snapshots of my everyday life for keeps. But most importantly, it's a handy app for staying updated on the latest news and posts from the celebrities and artists I follow.

Twitter is probably my most used social media app. As an avid fan of a lot of things, Twitter offers a platform where I can maximize my awareness and engagement in subjects I love, not just with the content itself, but also with the huge community on this platform. Through Twitter, I have had the opportunity to connect with individuals who share similar interests, bringing both joy and wisdom into my life.

For content and engagement, I focus on music artists like Taylor Swift, some K-pop groups, and Percy Jackson-related tweets for entertainment, which frequently appear on my timeline. From the funniest content to the most controversial topics, Twitter provides a variety of discussions. However, there are deeper and more valuable aspects to this app than just entertainment. It is a great space to voice opinions and address relevant issues.

Personally, I use Twitter for both local and global news updates, although that while it may not always be entirely reliable, our generation's reaction speed to news on this platform is unmatched. Aside from news and entertainment consumption, I also use this app for community engagement, especially regarding timely social issues. By simply liking and retweeting tweets, I believe we can collectively contribute to making a difference.

In my journey with the media, I have encountered both positive and negative influences but both taught me valuable lessons. Let's address the negative aspects first. One detrimental habit I have developed is an overreliance on digital information consumption, I was on the internet 24/7 before and often dives into even the most toxic and nonsense topics. This overindulgence has poisoned my mind and has triggered unfamiliar emotions, particularly during my younger years when I lacked guidance on navigating different media sources. It has greatly impacted my overall well-being and caused bad habits like staying up at night, trying to fit in to a certain standard, and isolation. However, with my knowledge of Media Information Literacy (MIL) subject, I have gained the awareness to prevent and redirect this behavior. Now, equipped with my awareness and knowledge from MIL, I can conscientiously discipline and regulate my media intake to foster healthier habits.

On the positive side, my media consumption has also contributed significantly to my personal growth. For instance, immersing myself in the Percy Jackson series in my youth years instilled in me great values of cultural sensitivity and inclusivity, fostering empathy towards diverse individuals, including those with disabilities. Moreover, the humor and fantastical elements of the series influenced my creative style in writing and art. Additionally, my engagement with different media has led me to discover and cultivate hobbies like photography and a love for nature, particularly mountains, inspiring dreams of future hikes and adventures.

Furthermore, the different kinds of relationships portrayed in books I read, ranging from friendships to family bonds, have honed my emotional intelligence and empathy. My exposure to life-stories through literature and visual media, including movies, series, and documentaries, has heightened my awareness of societal issues and encouraged me to advocate for justice and equality. Through the media, I have found a platform to speak against abuse and injustice, striving to be an active agent of positive change in my community.

Aside from watching music videos and variety shows, one of my interesting visits on YouTube is to watch speeches. Every time I feel discouraged, I sit and listen to the people who have come before me. For instance, my most favorite speech to watch is Taylor Swift's 24-minute-long NYU speech. This extends to award-winning speeches as well, like the Oscars, Grammys, and more of award shows. The point is, many people were snubbed for an award many times, but did they give up? did they stop doing what they are doing? NO. These speeches serves as a reminder that there will always be a time when victory will grant us. All I have to do is to persevere and have faith in what I am doing, because if they can, then so can we.

HEADLINE: I LOVE TO GET LOST IN THE WORLD OF GREEK MYTH.

# data[].attributes.body
As a kid, I grew curious about Greek mythology. All thanks to Rick Riordan's bedtime story to his son: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, it helped me realize that I was, in fact, a demigod.

Kidding aside, Rick's crazy books about Greek gods, goddesses, and monsters made a pivotal impact on my childhood. It was my escape from reality. It made me laugh, cry, blush, and scream in silence. Later, I realized that it was more than just gods and adventure. The books taught me a lot of things. My fascination with Greek mythology was just the icing on top. While writing this, I am actually very glad he was able to satisfy my thirst for myth stories. Unfortunately, my obsession did not stop with the first five book series. If you are wondering, I am now on his third book series, still about Greek myth, which is the Trials Of Apollo. I read the two series on my phone and finally got a physical copy for the third series. I plan to collect all his books someday and put them on my shelves.

Representation and diversity are pretty rare in children's books. However, Rick was inclusive with his stories. If you did not know, he created the entire world of Percy Jackson after his son Haley, who has ADHD and Dyslexia, which he now overcame. In fact, Percy is originated from Haley himself. If you ever want to escape reality and dive into the world of myth, uncle Rick got you.

"Hold Fast. Brave the Storm" - these words, spoken by Sally Jackson in the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series, shows not only the resilience of the characters but also the journey of the franchise itself. The first movie adaptation, though a disappointment to some of the fans, paved the way for another adaptation through a Disney series. This time with author Rick Riordan's supervision, the series was a magnificent retelling, staying true to the essence of the books. The series is led by a talented cast, including Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase, and Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood. The series not only captivated new audiences but also reignited the nostalgia of some old fans. Take me for an example. As I journeyed through the series once again, from the pages of my childhood as a twelve years old kid to watching it on screen as a seventeen years old, it felt like a full circle moment, reminding me of the magic and wonder that sparked my imagination years ago.

Media is a multifaceted and dynamic platform that serves as a cornerstone of modern society, providing avenues for information dissemination, entertainment, education, advertising, community engagement, and social interaction. Its influence has greatly shaped our lives, emphasizing its significant role in our daily routines. Personally, I cherish these media for their ability to quench my thirst for knowledge, with platforms like Google serving as valuable resources for answering my curiosity and expanding my understanding of various subjects. Additionally, I indulge myself in a wide variety of entertainment offerings across platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter/X, TikTok, Netflix, and through books, immersing myself in memes, videos, movies, series, and life-changing stories. Furthermore, media platforms like Facebook and Twitter/X provide me with avenues for active engagement and interaction, allowing me to express my thoughts, opinions, and insights on diverse topics through likes, comments, and discussions. Lastly, mediums like Spotify and YouTube serve as sonic sanctuaries where I can explore and savor music, and their power to evoke and regulate my emotions helps enrich my experiences within the digital realm.

During my junior year, I was a highly active student, eagerly participating in various extracurricular activities. This dedication led me to level up and became the vice president of the student body, a position I held with pride and diligence. My efforts were recognized when I graduated from junior high school with an outstanding award, a testament to my perseverance and hard work. This achievement paved the way for me to receive a scholarship grant at Ateneo de Davao University (AdDU), a prestigious institution where I am now counted among the Top 500 scholars.

Additionally, I had the privilege of representing my beloved junior high school, Loreto National High School, as a columnist at the Regional Schools Press Conference 2024 held in Bislig City, Surigao del Sur, last year. This experience allowed me to showcase my writing skills on a broader platform and further enriched my academic journey.
