With Social Media today, promoting your business is more convenient. Before, everyone’s relying on traditional mediums to promote their brand. Companies will spend millions just to get their product in the newspaper or TV. But as the internet flourished, marketing has established new techniques.
In regards to the benefits of social media, people say that students don’t get any benefits. Everyone perceives that the relationship between students and social media is negative.
“Social media is a distraction.”
“It’s making kids meet strangers instead of reading in their homes. Memes aren’t helping anyone.”
“Students are no longer interested in studying and would rather be a social media model.”
Those are a few statements above that show the perception of older people when it comes to social media.
While the older crowd have strong negative views on social media, teens have mixed views on the benefits of social media.
Doodles on the Walls
We break the rules, we get some fun
You and me against everyone
Delighted mess, that’s why they say
If only we could just stay
Forever–on the four plain walls of school
The only place that we’re both cool
But students graduate– we left the building
What’s left are memories, and such longing
Where are you, partner in crime?
Let’s meet, it has been a long time
I can’t take you out of my head
Can’t I just visit you instead?
I miss our doodles on the bathroom walls
I miss the secret writings on the halls
But it’s you whom I miss the most
Please come back, even as a ghost.

Be kind to Bus Drivers
Everyday, I have to endure a 2-hour bus ride to get home.
Bus rides are monotonous at best. Everyday, there’s TV playing in the background, usually it’s the News or a Teleserye (Soap Operas). Bus is pretty hot because the bus’ crowded. Bus conductor busy handing out tickets. Some toddler crying in the front. Everyone’s tired.
But one night, something unusual happened.

Back when we were kids, we always have that one trait that we’re bullied for. For some of you, it could be your skin color, weight, freckles. For me, it’s my teeth.
What to do during an MRT Breakdown

In the Philippines, specifically in Metro Manila, MRT is everything. Since EDSA is always on heavy-traffic mode, we resort on riding an MRT. It’s “faster” and “cooler” compared to buses, and more affordable than FXs and taxis.
But along with the “advantages” of being an MRT rider, you’ll have to be prepared when sht happens. These trains were operating since 1999 and no major revamps were made. At this point, MRT is like a lolo (grandpa) that’s already having illnesses here and there, but still keeps working because of his grandchildren (aka us).
With that, it’s obvious that breakdowns and delays are going to happen. But during rush hour? That’s just full nightmare realness.
