TO THE PERSON WHO ASKED ME IN FORMSPRING.COM…
Hello! There’s someone who asked me through Formspring.COM and not through Formsrping.ME. Please be informed that I am already using Formspring.ME and not .COM so yeah–it’s easier for me to respond through the former so please go there for questions…
Anyway, to the person who asked me about this certain college entrance test, please just leave your email here or in my Formspring and I will email you my answer. I just feel that my answer might be a tool for HATErade again by some people. I’d gladly answer your question but yeah, let’s discuss it in private na lang. 
You know who you are. Thanks.
Read MorePLEASE STOP BOMBARDING MY FORMSPRING WITH HATE MESSAGES FOR OTHER WRITERS
Hello! I’m Clarissa, one of the writers of Pinoy Teens as you know.
Today, I woke up and checked my Formspring and I was overwhelmed by the number of hate messages pertaining to writers–specifically to the Quins. Apparently, they’re comeback is not getting a positive take from people. It’s okay, I understand… WE understand this but to express your hate through my Formspring is not the right thing to do. I mean yeah, why me? It also disappoints me that people are using me to make these productive people look less productive like comparing, etc. I appreciate the love some people are giving me but you guys are going overboard, I guess. I mean these people are pioneers of the blog so they deserve credit. If they lacked updates in the past few weeks, let them be. They had more relevant things to do when I had a more flexible schedule. And now, it’s the other way around. They’re having a comeback while I’m busy with academic stuff. It’s the 2nd semester already for crying out loud. So yeah, don’t expect much updates from me. It’s not like these two are ganging up on me because I “stole” the attention from them before. Okay?! So please stop using my Formspring to express hate stuff for them. They should not be hated. I even think they should be welcomed with your nice comments and appreciation from you guys. Come on, this site has been long running with their patience and hardwork before I came. Way before I came. So there.
Thanks and have a good day. I’m sorry but I have to just air this out. It’s pissing me off. I do not know if I will still answer your Formspring questions regarding them but yeah. All I need to do now is to go to school and work my ass off. New article coming today. Bye.
Read MoreHappy New Year to all!
This is likely to be the very last article that is going to be published on this blog for this year. A year that has both been fruitful and unlikely close to our “standards” we’ve been used to during our stellar year in the world of blogging.
I’m thankful to all of you who have joined me in my journey through the world of New Media “Blogging”. All the people that have inspired me, complimented me, and even those who have, at times, insulted me. Well, at least it’s good to know that I don’t know any of those insulting people personally :p
Pinoy Teens is entering its 2nd new year, already. The second new year we’re hitting as a blog that aims to serve you through education, information and entertainment. Three fields that seem to be too “wide” and broad for a three to four man team to coupe with. I know a lot of you are really wondering or intrigued about the words I leave you, but let me tell you this, I know what I’m saying and what I’m doing here with this website and we’re certainly not on the road of a downfall like many pointed out. You (haters) know that I have by far exceed yours and even my expectation about this website.
I really wish and hope that 2010 will be a much better year than 2009, that everything tragic that happened this year won’t happen again. Let’s 2009 be a warning call to all of us that we need to keep our environment in mind in everything that we do else, we might experience a more fierce revenge of Mother Nature in a not so distant future.
Before this article becomes to long, once again; Happy New Year to us all. And thanks to all of you (who are reading this) for being part of my 2009. All my plurk friends, co-bloggers, Pinoy Teens Writers, Pinoy Teens Loyalists and Pioneers and simply everyone I know that I was able to talk to in 2009 through any means or mediums :p
Read MoreAbout Philippine Teens Media
I’ve finally made the decision to keep everything PinoyTeens-made, here in Pinoy Teens instead of transferring it to Teens.com.ph which was my initial plan upon purchase and registration of the said domain. There’s something even “greater” that I have in mind with the domain name, and that is establishing a small group of young and enthusiastic writers–the Philippine Teens Media.
The initial idea behind the Philippine Teens Media is to have a set of writers who are either from Pinoy Teens Online or outside as long as they have their own set of write-ups in their own personal blogs. It’s like a collection of the best–most active and vocal young writers all over the Philippines all gathered in one centralized location–www.teens.com.ph.
In that way, we hope to make it easier for companies and organizations to get in touch with the Philippine Youth. They could easily select a writer from any desired location in the Philippines and invite them over for product reviews or product launches. The writers would enjoy the moment to be one of the privileged few to attend such an affair and the company behind a certain product would get a a credible substantial article in return from our writers who have seen and used the product first hand.
It would be in all ways more credible than running television advertisements or radio advertisements. Because our readers know that what we write here is true and based on our own experience/s. That has been the real trademark characteristic of Pinoy Teens all throughout its existence the moment that we have founded the website, or the blog, to be more specific.
Companies would reach a broader audience, since we don’t only have readers from the Philippines but from all over the world–OFWs so to say. But what is more important is that the companies could really get in touch with Filipino teenagers. Because that’s where our strength lies–the reader base of Filipino teenagers all over the archipelago who have witnessed the truth we’ve been talking about day in and day out in our write-ups, and it is looking to only get better in 2010 with the launch of the Philippine Teens Media.
So if you are a writer who is very much interested to be part of our network, kindly leave a comment here or email Claris at clarissagreyes@gmail.com (for immediate response). You can either choose to be part of Pinoy Teens first or use your own blog for identity (if any) albeit WE WOULD PREFER THAT YOU BE PART OF PINOY TEENS TOO! Well just email the address and let us see. Put the subject TEENS.COM.PH in your emails!

Read MoreWhat is up in PTO right now?
Hey guys! First of all, we would like to apologize for not being able to produce much new content here in the site. It’s already mid December and we haven’t even made many stuff yet.
But anyway, here’s what’s we’re doing right now. We aren’t just slacking off or whatever. Actually, I’ve been going to the finals series of PCCL and decided to write about it right after the Game 3 of the finals which is on December 13 at the Ynares Sports Complex in Pasig City. So far, FEU won during the first game of the finals and Ateneo won during the 2nd game with a large gap of scores! Yay, Ateneo. But win or lose (Ateneo), wI’d still write about it nonetheless. But please don’t expect a hardcore sports article since I never wrote something like that since my stay here in PTO.
Secondly, we have changes when it comes to the PT writing team. I’d make an introduction of the present keyplayers in this site soon. But related to this topic, applications are still open. Leave your email address in a comment in THIS post. I will email you back!
Lastly, there will be 3 more upcoming articles about tennis, college athletes and college choices. So we’re kinda bringing back this site to the interests of teenagers.
All articles stated shall be up here by Monday. Well that is if Kevin publishes them ASAP. But by that time, it’s already made. Courtesy of yours truly! Please come back on that day. Thanks.
Flashback and Year Ender of the silent but fruitful 2009
-post to be edited as December isn’t over yet, and so is the year-
Hello once again to all of you,
This is it, the Pinoy Teens Online flashback 2009 edition. Recapping the most exciting and extraordinary events that happened on this very website during the past twelve months. Before I proceed, I would like to thank everyone especially all of our email subscribers who have been sticking around with us for a while already. We very much appreciate you participating through reading our articles.
In January issues with my internet connection and various other Davao based contributors in contract with Globe Broadband had a very bad time in delivering articles for you, one thing that started the domino effect that until lately has been occurring pulling this sites stats, authority, reputation and whatsoever down. We witnessed the flooding of Cagayan de Oro City and posted some commentary and reasons why such event could have happened. Who, among other topics doesn’t remember the School Controversy that I was in for posting negative feedback about a particular school event at my high school that got the attention of the Principal? I must say I was impressed during the first week of this year due to the PR 4 status of this site back then, but on romantic ends I had to eat my words bout a good year early on,too.
I shared with you my experience of the Juniors Seniors Promenade 2009 which made some of you recall your own. Plurked reached the classrooms and the attention of the teachers and started getting banned in Computer Laboratories nationwide, or even globally; well it is really addictive, isn’t it? Let me reveal to you something, people from BBC tried cooperating/partnering with me in order to get some strict Filipino families for their proposed reality television show in the U.K, but it looks like I made a mess of it. Who among all the thousands of Sarah Geronimo fans wasn’t happy when she became Box Office Queen? I bet none of you missed the very successful You Changed My Life, did you?
I couldn’t imagine something worse to have written in March, but the Love is blind article in which I targeted some particular woman who became special to me, after all. By the way, throughout that month, I tried to provide you with Blogging Tips that you until present still might find useful. Sweet to finally leave my school years behind as the Moment of Truth came closer and closer.
C’mon, who did not have any complaints about the Globe Broadband connection? I graduated in this month too! Aside from the various posts and articles in preparation for the Pacquiao Hatton fight that was just about it for that month, and oh, I got some problems with someone though.
MAY, the most promising month brought helped us have some financial push and increased our popularity and authority as we successfully delivered to you the Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton live stream bagging more than 800 comments and 120,000+ viewers in a matter of days. And the very end of the month I shared with you a plurkalicous love story. And yet again, that was just about it.
In June, we mourned wit millions around the world the death of Michael Jackson. We also took part in the DFC Event 2009 Davao leg. Not to forget and worth to mention is my birthday that took place that month, thanks for all the greetings!
In July we eventually got removed from the Google Search for some time. I also got confused which course to take up, even though it’s a bit too late to worry about that.
In August I shared with you the lessons from the SEO Drought.
We witnessed Kirk Long’s keenness from beyond the arc lifting Ateneo. There was an issue with me and a weird crazy blogger We were not the only ones with problems, but Willie Revillame too
September was surely a month full of tragedies that came along. A super ferry with unknown reason sinking, the bashing of Sen. Lacson on former President Estrada, the death of Hollywood Dancer Patrick Swayze at 57 and more. Also to note in this month was the Software Freedom Day at which I tackled open source WordPress for blogging. Who could easily get over the Taylor Swift humiliation, especially when you’re one big fan of her when she won a award at the VMA 2009?
It was for certain a month to forget for La Salle faithfuls as their team literally flushed down the toilet and fell prey to the NU Bulldogs. I am very sure a lot of you enjoyed the Mayweather Marquez live stream we prepared for you. We did not wrote much about the calamities that wrecked most part of Northern and Central, Luzon, but we managed to peek into another typhoon from abroad by the name Jacque Bermejo. In October Pinoy Teens writers enjoyed a lot of freebies especially when Davao based, like a treat to the NEO launch at the Apo View, the Mall-Wide WiFi launch at SM City Davao. Jeric Teng got interviewed by Anna Clarissa, and I had some issue with people from CDO for my intriguing questions about the MBS, after all, we fixed the misunderstanding between each other and I came up with a few lessons taken from it.
Our jewel writer of present decided to go entertainment with her first entertainment post. We’ve had a few funny questions in our first edition of the Formspring, and I had the chance to attend the Youth Engagement Summit 2009 in Kuala Lumpur for the fact that Pinoy Teens Online is a Youth Partner for the said event and will continue to be one. Pacquiao was linked to Krista Ranillo after he finished Cotto. The most recent issue that bothers most of us is the Maguindanao Massacre about which one of our writers is going to talk about later on.
We’ve had so much fun all throughout the year, so many discussions, ups and lows on this website. It’s certain that we’re not as hyperactive as we used to be in a not so-distant past. The author trio of yours truly, Izy Mae and Princess is to be replaced by a new pack of three to spearhead the blog in the coming year to keep up with your interest and keep up with the latest in the various field that relate to you.
Expect Pinoy Teens to be better and bigger in 2010 after the recently acclaimed international recognition we got for being a Youth Partner of a grande event like the Youth Engagement Summit. I, along with the other contributors are assuring you a way better experience that you already had here on our blog. I just hope that you will continue to cooperate with us and stick with us as we’ll try to make your stay on Pinoy Teens and exceptional experience and lift up to the expectations of being a Youth Partner of such big movement as the Youth Engagement Summit. Once we have established ourselves in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Watch out for events that we’ll come up to host in key cities near you. Yes, look forward for that and more only here on Philippines first and only, Philippine Youth Site for Change!
