One of the classic favorites, Bingo games!

It’s no secret that Bingo Games have always been well received by many, even before these turned to become free online bingo games that more and more people enjoy. They’ve become very much alike with their real life counterparts that many even consider playing casino games electronically as more convenient and safe.

I could cite dozen of games that people love to play whenever they head to a Casino, yet playing Bingo tops the list more frequent than people might consider it to be, yet all of them have one thing in common when played in the cyber world or on the internet, per se.

Less hassle to fix yourself up and present yourself at a venue for such games to be played – because everything can be done right from where you sit right now, online.

Aside from the fact that many of these games are available to start of for free, they tend to make a lot of people make money out of it, while indeed, some people may lose some. You don’t lose anything though, if you try playing it for free now and see whether you have what it takes to take a gamble and spend money into it. It’s easier than ever to try it out and makes it hassle free unlike games that you’d usually play in a Casino where you have to be outfitted right et al.

Give it a try to day and play Bingo for free.

There’s something I have to admit… I’m also one of many people who disliked reading. Yet there’s a fine difference between people who just dislike it and those who criticize (re: bully) those who are very much into it. I thought reading is just not my thing, but I was totally wrong. I’m not saying that I don’t read at all, I used to be a tad less than the occasional reader though, having very infrequent reading habits; that has changed since the last couple of weeks when I realized how fun reading can be.

But back to the important point.

It pains me when I hear fellow teenagers of my age and a bit younger, stereotyping those who love to read. At first I thought I was the only one who noticed it and believed it to be an issue too small to be discussed, but when I jumped on a video created by one of my fellow Facebook users I realized how serious the matter has become.

Read before you judge.

Sounds odd, but it’s true. Those who judge readers tend to be those who haven’t tried it out yet. I can’t blame them for not reading, but it’s a total different issue when they start stereotyping and labeling those who do. Well, reading may not be for everyone, that’s a given, but I find it very cruel when those who judge others are those who ain’t had a firsthand experience with reading.

Let’s all campaign against stereotyping readers. Let’s all agree to read more this year and prove ‘em wrong; prove to them that reading isn’t just for the wealthy and the geeks, heck, nor is reading just for the females.

I personally think that females who love to read are more interesting and attractive. I figured that “those who read seemed to be more educated and better equipped in the academic field” was true in most females I had encountered. I wonder how well the country would do if more and more people would start to read, read and read.

A lot has changed since the post Filipinos Are Not Book Lovers has been written. It dates back decades ago, but it assumes to painstakingly truthful than ever. Why? Because we have reached the point at which readers are getting criticized for enjoying reading may that be the printed or digitalized word.

Sure, lot of the commenters on the post we published here proved that Philippines is far from an anti-Reading community… Yet there are still a lot of people out there who will tell you otherwise in both words and actions… and that, that needs to stop.

Be The Change. Read. And let those bullies go to hell.

Present at the scene will be Philippines premier Youth Bloggers Community, the Pinoy Teens New Media.

The Conference seems to be one of the most promising I.T related events in the region. Member schools of PSITS Region 9 include the following:

• Zamboanga del Sur Maritime Institute of Technology
• Southern Mindanao Colleges – Pagadian City
• Happy Hearts Colleges, Inc
• Eastern Mindanao College of Technology – Pagadian City
• Pagadian Capitol Colleges
• and a few more.

It’s a good guess to make that most attendees will coming from member schools of the regions’ Philippine Society of Information Technology Students (PSITS)

Pinoy Teens New Media to tackle: Blogging (etiquette), WordPress and Search Engine Optimization

One special role that the Pinoy Teens New Media plays during the 2nd PSITS Conference will be in the form of Kevin Paquet (which happens to be me) taking on the topics enlisted above.

I’m very excited about this because it’s going to be my very firs time outside of Davao City and Region 9 will be the first of many checkpoints of the Pinoy Teens New Media this year at which we want to encourage our audience to start blogging and be more responsible online whatever they might be doing.

Innovating with WordPress and Blogging

We at Pinoy Teens believe that WordPress is going to play a huge role in helping bloggers innovate. It’s just such a reliable, flexible and scalable platform that both bloggers and developers alike prefer most. No wonder it’s considered as the #1 Open Source CMS for some time now.

Everyone should start a blog where they can post their opinions and experiences where other people can take a lesson from or be informed.

PSITS Conference Round 3

Not to undermine the maiden conference that PSITS XI has hosted nor the second… but there’s no doubt that the third run of the PSITS Conference will be even better and brighter. So… Just in case you’re around on the 13th and 14th of January, come and join us as we aim to turn visions to actions… through innovation!

3rd PSITS Conference 2012 – Region IX is a post from: Pinoy Teens

This is the first post published on Pinoy Teens for year 2012. 2012, which to our beliefs is going to be the best year yet for our humble community of 5 or so writers.

We have silently rolled out our new name, our new branding today, which is Pinoy Teens New Media. We shall carry with us the tag line “The New Media Frontier of the Filipino Youth” as we aim to broaden our reach to the far extend of the world wide web and the offline (real life) arena. Pinoy Teens has been just a blog for far too long, it’s time that we do more for our country and for the society we live in; that’s gonna happen with the Pinoy Teens New Media.

I don’t really fancy writing when I’m very sleepy, but I just had to get the word out.

2011 has been a great year for me. Maybe not blog-wise but from the from a personal point of view. I’m so happy that I have made a lot of new connections last year and that I’ve become closer with people that I’ve met in 2010 and 2009. I can only hope that our friendships will last long

The year ahead of me actually scares me a bit, but like my friend has said, I should avoid being too pessimistic about how things would go.

2012 – PINOY TEENS NEW MEDIA YEAR

Like I said above, we’ll try to be more than just a blog this year. We’re going to engage more with the communities around us and of course, write more content that we’ve done in 2011. We have written more articles in the period between April – June 2010 than in whole of 2011…. which clearly shows how low the activity has fallen.

I’m inviting all High School and College Students who love to create content, write, video blog or photoblog to join us at Pinoy Teens New Media. We’re in need of talented but most importantly dedicated people to join us. Let us be one in creating content while informing, entertaining and educating our readers!

All that you have to do is comment on this post that you’re interested to join us!

I seriously don’t know what else I should add to this post… but I really want to blog before I’m going to bed… so here I go again, greeting all of you a happy new year and thanking each and everyone who has become part of my 2011 and the part of Pinoy Teens’ 2011 as well. No, I won’t mention names… I don’t want to disappoint someone whom I might left out. I know that you know who you are!

God bless us, all!

2012 – The year of PTNM is a post from: Pinoy Teens

Tapos na naman ang isang taon. Para sa mga masasaya, ang bilis ng panahon, pero para sa mga matagal ng naghihintay ng pag-asa, ang tagal-tagal. Hindi ko masasabing marami akong katulad sa mundo. Hindi ko rin masabing ibang-iba ako sa lahat. Sa tuwing matatapos ang taon, lagi tayong nag-iisip tungkol sa ating buhay. Mapamababaw man o mapakasing lalim ng pinaghuhugutan ng isang makata. Iniisip mo kung naging masaya ba ang taon mo, kung may gusto kang baguhin o kung sasabog na ba ang mundo ngayong 2012.

Enero nitong huling taon. Namomroblema ka na naman kasi hindi mo nasulit ang bakasyon mo ngayong pasko. Hindi mo rin alam kung saan mo gagastusin ang napamaskuhan mo ng hindi ka manghihinayang. Iniisip mo na ang magiging horoscope mo ngayong taon at kung bahagya kang maniniwala sa kung anumang prediksyon na kumakalat sa buong mundo. Swerte raw ang ganitong kulay, ang ganitong alagang isda at huwag kang makipaghahalubilo sa isang taong pinanganak sa gantong petsa. Ang labo. Pero naniniwala tayo, sinasakyan natin at natutuwa pa tayo, dahil Pinoy tayo. Ilang taon na rin tayong sinasabihang wag magpaputok pero najojologsan ka sa torotot. Masaya pa rin ang may sarili kang mga armas at bala kaysa sa makikinood ka na lang sa mga kapitbahay na may sinturon ni hudas.

Pebrero. Ang pinakamabilis na buwan sa buong taon at ang pinakamatagal sa mga sawi sa pag-ibig. Lahat ng gimik ng media iinggitin ka, lahat ng mga katulad mo dadamayan ka. Haha! Sige, siguro sapat na tong eksplanasyon na to para ipaliwanag ang punto KO. Marso, nangangatal ka na gutom, ubos na ang pera mo, kating-kati ka na sa bakasyon at tambak ka pa rin ng trabaho pero may Finals ka pa at hindi ka pa makahinga ng maluwag. Sinusubukan mo ng makaipon para sa bakasyon ay may pera ka pero heto pa rin ang makulit mong mga prof para katasin ka at pigain. Kung wala ka mang gagastusang project, mauubos rin ang pera mo sa pagkain dahil depressed ka, gutom ka at hindi mo alam kung may ilalim pa ba ang tyan mo.

Abril. Sabi mo sa sarili mo, magpapakasaya ka ngayong bakasyon. Pero unang gabi pa lang ng bakasyon malakas na ang hatak ng gravity ng kama. Sabi mo rin, babawiin mo lahat ng pinuyat mo sa finals, pero inabot ka na ng alas tres sa kompyuter. Gigising ka ng tanghalian na. Ubos na ang pagkain, magluluto ka pa ng sarili mo. Papagalitan ka ng mga magulang mo kasi tatamad-tamad ka. Hindi mo raw sinusulit ang bakasyon mo. Sabi mo sa sarili mo, gagala ka ngayong bakasyon, mag-aaral kang magluto, magpiano, sumayaw o magkarate. Pero nakadikit ka pa rin sa laptop, naiinip dahil walang nangyayari sa facebook. Iniisip mo, siguro masaya ang bakasyon ng mga kaibigan ko. Pero pare-pareho rin lang pala kayong nakatambay sa bahay at nagbibilang ng butiki kapag naiinip ng huminga.

Mayo. Dito sa amin maraming pyesta. Ang mga tao kung maghanda akala mo walang problema sa buhay. Iniisip mong nangalahati na ang bakasyon kaya’t susulitin mo na. Sapat na yung isang buwan ng Abril na hindi ka na nakatulong sa sarili mo. Ubos na ang katamaran mo dapat sa pagtulog. Pakonti-konti ka pang sumisilip sa facebook. Pinipilit mo ng mabuhay! Pinipilit mo ng sulitin ang huling araw ng kasayahan! Bago magpasukan. Pero sa isang banda, naisip mong namimiss mo na ang mga tropa mo. Wala ka ng kausap kundi ang kapatid mong makulit at ang mga magulang mong utos ng utos sayo. Nababagot ka na. Pero wala kang maggawa dahil wala kang pera. O, sige. Ang sabi mo sa sarili mo. Gusto ko ng magpasukan para may baon na ko.

Pasukan na. Sabay buhos ng ulan. Sabay biglang init. Sabay pasok sa aircon. Hindi mo alam kung tama bang nag-enroll ka ngayong sem dahil sa kung anu-ano na namang trip sayo ng panahon. Kung kailan ka lumabas ng lungga mo, tsaka ka naman pinipilit na manatili sa bahay dahil sa sakit. Sinwerte ka sa ibang prof at minalas naman sa karamihan. Ang sabi ng iba, mabangis daw mag-grado tong prof na to. May mga kaklase kang bago. Minsan mukhang interisado ko, minsan naman dedma lang. Bahala na. Ang sabi mo sa sarili mo. Kakausapin ko na lang siya pag may itatanong ako.

Lumipas ang panahon. Hindi na mabilang kung ilang beses mong sinasabing “SANA MASUSPEND ANG KLASE”. Naghihintay sa twitter, nag-aabang ng text, nagbabakasakali sa isang suntok sa buwan na pagkakataon. Ilang beses kang nagpupumilit na magpapostponed ng isang paper. At nasa kalagitnaan ka ng taon na hindi mo na namamalayang aba, tatlong buwan na naman pala ang nakalipas. At magpapasko na naman.

Sembreak na. Natutuwa ka dahil may sembreak ka. Yung iba wala. Yung iba isang linggo lang. Samantalang ikaw isang buwan. Ilang beses na ngang nasuspend ang klase mo dahil sa malakas na ulan at baha, isang buwan pa ang bakasyon mo. Atat ka ng kumalas at magpakasarap sa buhay. Panahon na naman ng mga gimik, reunion at party-party. Uwian sa probinsya. Dumadaan ang Halloween at Undas. Nagbibilang ka na kung ilang araw na lang bago magpasko. Sabi nga nila, tayo ang may pinakamahabang pasko.

Matatapos na naman ang taon. Iniisip mo kalahati masaya, kahalati malas ang taon mo. Magpapasko na naman at namomroblema ka na sa mga dumaraming bilang ng iyong inaanak pero hindi naman dumarami ang iyong mga ninong at ninang. Maraming ilaw na ang nasa paligid. Nagkakantahan na ang mga Pilipino na parehong nagdidiwang sa panibagong taon at sa lumipas na buhay. Maraming madaling magsawa. Maraming gusto ng magbago. Hindi naman tayo iba sa mundo kung hinihiniling nating sana.. magkapera tayo. Sana yumaman ako ngayong taon, sana makabawi ako sa grades, at sana maging masaya kaming pamilya.

Bata pa lang ako, sinasabi ko na sarili ko na may pangarap ako. Pero habang tumatanda ako, nagbabago ang pananaw ko sa buhay, ayoko ng maging doktor. Bata pa lang ako, alam kong may tinatago sa akin ang mga matatanda na ayaw nilang matuklasan ko. Sinasabi nila sa akin na pag matanda ka na lang. Tsaka mo malalaman ang lahat. Bata pa rin naman ako ngayon. Katiting pa lang sa dinanas ng mga magulang at mga lolo’t-lola ko. Hindi na ko umaasang hindi ako magugulat kung sakaling may bigla na lang mawala sa akin. Ang sabi nila, mag-aaral ako ng mabuti. Lahat sila sinasabi wag muna magboboypren. Pagsisikapan ko raw ang sarili ko dahil kailangang malayo ang marating ko. May pag-asa raw ako sa mundo, dahil bata pa ako.

Pero 2012 na! Ito na yung taon na napanood ko sa pelikula na magugunaw, iikot, magpapalit-palit ang mga kontinente. Magsasalpukan ang mga bato, sasabog ang mga bulkan, matutunaw ang mga yelo at may isang magliligtas sa lahat. Kalahati ng nasa isip ko sana hindi na lang muna mag 2012. Pero ang sabi nila talaga may pag-asa pa raw ako sa mundo at minsan kahit may mga bagay na di maiiwasang mangyari, sasabihin nila…

BATA KA PA. Marami ka pang taon at may pag-asa ka pa. Huwag mong sayangin ang oras mo… at ang oras namin para sayo…
