Hi! I am Denzel Faith M. Caliao. I am currently 16 years old. So my age is considered as a Gen Z. As a teen I've learned a lot about the media. Let me show my (ME)dia. Take a glimpse of how I interact with the world online. Let's go!

This is my Facebook account. It is were I post stuff wherein my family who lives in a different country can stay updated with me or vice versa. I am careful to what I share here because information spreads fast. Facebook became my buddy whenever I am bored because I scroll through my feed and read stories of different opinions about a certain issue.

Here you can see my screen time. During the pandemic my life revolved around my phone. Now, I tend to lessen my screen time as it ruins my eyesight, plus now that I am older I find my phone boring. To change that habit I play badminton with my cousins, I read a book or draw, or I walk. These activities made me away from the media and my gadget.

This is my first post in Instagram. This picture was taken during Regional Schools Press Conference 2024. I choose this as my first post because I wanted to share the most memorable experience I had with my co-journalists. This season made me realize that to be a champion you must act like one and not in every contest you win. Even though I failed to qualify for NSPC, I won because I created a bond and a new friendship that made me feel loved.

I hate singing but I love listening to music. This is one of the songs that I play the most in Spotify.

This is my favorite podcast. It narrates stories given by the senders and they are about creepy experiences. Others say I'm weird because I listen to this even if I'm alone or when it is dark. I like making this my sleep podcast.

I use the Tiktok app to buy things online since I don't have time to go to the mall because I have classes and I became busy. I check the ratings and comments of others before I buy something to avoid fraud sellers. I also use Tiktok as an entertainment if I want short videos. Sometimes I learn different lessons like math and english here.

Since the pandemic I learned to play online games. Currently, I like Call of Duty as it is easy or a quick game. I like Mobile Legends as the second because I played it during the Covid time. Playing with my friends is my remedy after a long weekday of class and assessments. I use these games to escape the reality because it gives me comfort playing.

I don't like dancing but I'll be glad to dance with my peers.

I prefer Netflix over Youtube because I can't watch these shows in Youtube. I love these shows (The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon) as they gave me a wide vocabulary and it is humorous. There are scenes that makes me laugh or touched. I remember that I finished 12 seasons in just an week because I was that addicted.

I post the poems that I write online for others to see my talent so that they can relate or feel like other people are also experiencing what they are experiencing. I express my thoughts by writing poems. This one is inspired of my mother who passed away three years ago.

I use the media to access my learning module in Hurtado. It helped me a lot in studying as view my files anywhere anytime. It is handy as I can grab my phone to study.

I use the media to showcase my talent in writing. As a sports writer I include my thoughts and I deepen actions for others to feel what happened during the game. I use Google Docs to share my files with my coaches and to our school paper.

How are these media influencing or affecting me?         Now that the media has a vast scope, I tend to see students who are studying, people travelling, and more. Seeing those posts inspires me to read books and do my best to ace my classes, save money to travel, and to learn new things using the ideas I have in my mind. Because of the media I learned to widen my vocabulary and it pushes me to advance study as I watch my batchmates earn honors.  Aside from academics it also influenced me in terms of healthcare as I see people online put sunscreen, lotion, skin care, and make up on their faces.

Why do I like these media?                                                 It would probably because I can express what I like to do with limited people can see like my friends and family. I can communicate, bond, and share information through the internet. Since I have a lot of family members online, I use this platform to get them updated on me. By apps like Tiktok and Spotify I can entertain myself and use it for my education. The media shows me, and it is me who controls what I do on media.

Is this healthy?                                                                   I believe some influences are healthy and some are not. The bright side allowed me to push myself to do my best in order to achieve my goals. It also opened my eyes to skin care which made me take good care of my skin and that gave me confidence to show myself. The bad side would be I tend to push my limits which sometimes makes me sick because I study too much, and I sometimes don't check if the product is safe for my skin. To be better, I will  schedule my time to have an effective study time and I will review before I buy the product to make sure it is safe for my skin.
