Hello there!

Have you ever sat on the beach and wondered what it’s like to live below the ocean? Fun fact: approximately 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water. Of this, nearly 97% is found in the oceans, which are saltwater. As of now, only about 20% of the ocean's floor has been mapped and explored in detail, leaving roughly 80% of the oceans unexplored. Fascinating, right?

It really makes you curious about what’s truly down there. Well, today is your lucky day! I will journey with you and guide you through this sea of stories. So, run as fast as you can, jump, and let the waves carry you to the sea of stories!

Hi! My name is Ralph Justin F. Libago.

I am 16 years old and an Aries. I am the second child in a family of five. I was born and raised in Sta. Josefa, a municipality in the province of Agusan del Sur, located in the Caraga Region.

Agusan del Sur is often remembered for its bad reputation when it comes to roads. Outsiders frequently complain about cracked and pothole-filled roads when passing through or visiting our province. As a resident, I completely agree, our roads do need improvement, and I find myself complaining about them too.

However, Agusan del Sur is so much more than its roads. It is a province full of wonders. From the breathtaking Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary to the many serene lakes and majestic rivers, our natural beauty is unparalleled.

But what truly makes Agusan del Sur special is its people. Agusanons are some of the most fun-loving, kind, and passionate individuals you will ever meet. Their warmth and spirit make our province a wonderful place to call home.

I attended Sta. Josefa Elementary School from kindergarten to Grade 6, consistently ranking as the top student in my class. I graduated junior high school from Trento National High School as a Salutatorian and a consistent honor student. Throughout my elementary and high school years, I had the privilege of representing my schools in various division-level competitions, including the Metrobank-MTAP-DepEd Math Challenge, the National Science and Technology Fair, and the Division Schools Press Conference. These accomplishments paved the way for me to receive a scholarship at Ateneo de Davao University, a prestigious institution where I am proud to be counted among the Top 500 scholars.

Facebook is a social media platform that connects people worldwide, enabling users to share updates, photos, videos, and engage in conversations while building communities. It was my primary platform during my elementary and early junior high school days, serving as my main tool for communication with family members and school group chats. While I still use Facebook today, I’m not as active as before, I rarely share posts or spend much time on the platform, but I occasionally post stories and enjoy watching those shared by friends.

YouTube is a video-sharing platform where users can watch, create, and share videos on a wide range of topics, from entertainment and education to vlogs and tutorials. While I don’t use YouTube constantly, it has been incredibly helpful to me as a student. I often watch tutorials, especially for solving math equations, and my go-to channel is Organic Chemistry. His content is highly relevant to my studies, and his calm, relaxing voice makes learning enjoyable. YouTube is also a great stress reliever for me, I love watching funny content, especially from Cong TV, whose videos never fail to make me laugh.

Instagram is a photo and video-sharing platform where users can post, like, and comment on content, and connect through Stories, Reels, and direct messaging. It's the platform where I’m most active, sharing stories, posts, and notes, and using it to stay in touch with friends.

TikTok is a short-form video platform where users can create, share, and discover videos set to music, featuring trends, challenges, tutorials, and creative content. It has become my main source of entertainment, offering a wide range of content from comedy to horror and even news. My For You Page (FYP) never disappoints, and I enjoy how quick and engaging the short clips are. The main content I watch is Ray Johnson's crime stories, which I find really enjoyable. While TikTok also allows communication through video sharing, I mostly use its messaging feature for streaks, as it’s fun to maintain a high number.

Spotify is a music streaming platform that lets users discover, listen to, and share millions of songs, podcasts, and playlists across various genres. It offers personalized recommendations and features like offline listening, playlists, and radio stations. For me, Spotify is a stress reliever, especially with OPM songs that are calming, relaxing, and relatable. I use it to listen to music while studying, chilling, or traveling, it's a convenient platform for any occasion.

I don't read a lot of books, but one series I’ve completed is the Harry Potter books. Written by J.K. Rowling, the series follows the magical journey of Harry Potter as he attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I also love the movies, with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone being my favorite. Like Harry, I was completely mesmerized by the wizarding world.

Media refers to the various platforms used to communicate information, ideas, and entertainment to the public. This includes traditional forms like television, radio, and newspapers, as well as digital platforms such as social media, websites, and streaming services. Media has been present since ancient times and is an integral part of our daily lives, from the moment we wake up until we go to sleep. I appreciate media for the many benefits it offers. For instance, social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram allow me to connect with others, share posts, and learn about others' stories. Platforms like Google provide convenient access to information on almost anything, while news outlets keep me updated on global events, whether on TV or social media. Media also serves as a great source of entertainment, with platforms like YouTube and TikTok offering a vast array of content, which I enjoy and use as a stress reliever. Media is truly important as it provides a wide range of services that enrich our lives.

The media influences my lifestyle, aspirations, attitudes, and behavior in various ways. Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram allow me to stay connected with friends and family, keeping me informed about their lives while also providing a space for sharing my own experiences. These platforms also inspire me by showcasing diverse lifestyles, ideas, and goals, which influence my aspirations and give me a sense of community.

Platforms like Google and news outlets keep me updated on global events, shaping my awareness of the world and helping me form informed opinions. I also turn to media for entertainment, such as YouTube and TikTok, which allow me to relax and enjoy content that interests me, serving as stress relievers.

However, while media offers many benefits, there can be downsides. Spending too much time on social media or focusing too much on others' lives can sometimes lead to comparison, self-doubt, or feeling overwhelmed. To ensure media consumption remains healthy, I need to set boundaries on screen time, take breaks from social media, and focus more on real-world interactions and self-care. By being mindful of how media affects my mental health, I can better manage my relationship with it to maintain a positive balance.
