Hi! I’m Benedict Jane F. Rabut, but you can call me BJ. I also go by Achie, Jing, Bobby, or J, but only close friends and family call me those names.

I attended Sultan Kudarat State University - Laboratory High School for my Junior High years. My batch had 44 students, each with unique skills and personalities. It was incredible how we came together to create amazing outputs. I’ve grown attached to that group, and while we’ve gone our separate ways, the bond we shared remains special.

I’m currently a Grade 11 student at Ateneo de Davao University - Senior High School, Section Ota. Transitioning to this new environment was challenging, but now that I’ve adjusted, I’m truly enjoying my experience.

I serve as the Class Secretary, Chess Varsity Secretary, and Board Games Club Assistant Secretary. Ironically, my handwriting isn’t the neatest—proof that secretaries don’t always have perfect penmanship.

I was born on June 14, 2008, at 16 years old. Fun fact: I got my piano as a 15th birthday present, and it’s been a special part of my life ever since.

I’m the only daughter of Janet F. Rabut and Benedict A. Rabut. They’re my biggest inspirations. My dad is my play buddy; we bond over food, chat about school, and troubleshoot computer problems. My mom is my study buddy, guiding me academically and supporting my extracurricular pursuits. I love them both so much.

My media consumption is, admittedly, a bit excessive. I spend 6-8 hours daily on my phone alone, mostly on social media apps like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, often falling into the trap of doomscrolling.

Beyond my phone, I use my laptop and iPad for school tasks, frequently accessing Gmail, Google Docs, and YouTube for research. Spotify is my constant companion, with Måneskin, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter on repeat.

While these habits keep me connected and productive, I recognize that my screen time—especially the doomscrolling—may not be the healthiest.

My current media habits offer both benefits and drawbacks. On the positive side, they keep me informed, entertained, and help me excel in my studies. However, the excessive screen time and frequent doomscrolling highlight the need for balance. Moving forward, I aim to set healthier boundaries around my media use, prioritize meaningful activities, and spend more time offline to enhance my well-being.
