I am a Wattpader!

Alam mo ba kung ano ang Wattpad? Siguro oo, siguro hindi. It's a famous reading/writing platform na patok na patok sa buong mundo, bata man o matanda. And yes, I'm a certified user of Wattpad.

At first, reader lang talaga ako dun hanggang sa naengganyo ako ng kaibigan ko na ipublish ang stories ko sa Wattpad. May mga stories na din akong nagawa noon pa man, pero hindi ko lang pinapabasa sa iba. Kaya naman ng maengganyo ako sa Wattpad, sinubukan ko na ring magpublish dun ng stories. And I become addicted to it.

"I am a Wattpader!"

Yan ang slogan namin sa signature tshirt namin para sa aming Wattpad Meetup dito sa Dakbayan ng Dabaw. Opo. Hindi lang ako nagsusulat sa Wattpad, sumasali na rin ako ng mga meetups sa aming Dakbayan. Huehue. Sa katunayan, may balak kami ng kaibigan ko pumunta sa Manila this coming September, may MIBF kasi -- Manila International Book Fair. 


Yesness, ganyan na ako kainlab sa Wattpad. Huehue. Marami kasi akong naging kaibigan at nabasang stories na may napupulutang aral. At naiinspire din ako kasi yung mga readers ko ay naiinspire din sa mga nagawa kong stories, especially when it comes to Christian Romance/Comedy.

Ngayong May 9, 2015 ay gaganapin ang Davao Wattpad Meetup sa Villa Margarita Hotel, JP Laurel Avenue, Bajada Davao City. Isa ako sa mga admins ng organizer, si Eunice, ang napakakwelang mommie ko. Sana sa susunod na meetup ay kasali na din kayo! I especially want to meet my readers din! Huehue.

300 Rise of an Empire: Seriously Not Recommended for Kids

I recently watched the movie "300 Rise of an Empire" with my cousin and Uncle at home. It was the follow-up to the 2007 film "300" taking place before, during, and after the events of the latter film. Honestly, I was itching to watch this film because I was fond of 3oo before, and simply because I liked the actor behind King Leonidas. Here came we watched it, and there was too much blood that my eyes couldn't take.

In the first part of the movie, I was enjoying it. But there  was blood here and there, and then later on the fighting events became more gross, more evil and heartless. I tried so hard to endure the bloodiness. I even screamed at one point when a Persian soldier sliced the Greek soldier's head into two, and it was so clear, so vivid, and so detailed. Blood gushing out directly from head, cut arms and legs, brutal piercing of sword and sliced intestines.

Immediately upon seeing those brutal war, I remembered my younger brother, Egay, aged thirteen. Just some days ago, I remembered he bought a DVD of 3oo Rise of an Empire, and I was suddenly distraught. I said to myself, "Oh no! Egay shouldn't watch this! No, no, no. Kids mustn't watch this kind of movie! It's too brutal to be true!"

And then I grabbed my phone and sent this message to my Mom:

"Did Egay watch the movie 300 already? If not, please, please, please tell him not to watch it. Tell him Ate Neen doesn't recommend that movie to him. It's too brutal and gross, totally not good for kids. Thanks Mom."

Then Mom said, "Not yet. I'll confiscate it from him then."

I WAS TOTALLY RELIEVED when Mom said that he hadn't watch it yet. Because you see, the movie was good, the story was good, the production was good--but it was not good for kids to watch such brutality! It can traumatize the kids mentality, you know.

Yes, most kids do understand the war concepts, and it's really a good thing if you make them understand the fighting stuff. In fact, parents should watch with their kids together, and make then understand the complicated parts of the movie. However, 300 Rise of an Empire was too much of brutality, too much war, too much blood and really, really gross.

So, as an older sister of four siblings, I don't highly recommend this movie to kids like them. I don't know about you. But I hope you understand my point.

You don't like your kid watching a brain gushing out from a human's skull, do you?

Finally, a Blogger on Blogger.

Hello everyone, I'm Me, Jenine Silos at your humble service. I created this blogger account in behalf of my writing career, and well, I want to dominate Blogger as I have dominated Wordpress. You can say that I want to build connections through here, too, isn't that  a normal thing? Hoho.

Anyway, you might be wondering who I am, especially for the first timers who randomly came across to this site. By now you know my name right, but you don't know who I am. Let's start with basic introduction. 

I'm an Information Technologist, my homeland is General Santos City but I currently stay at Davao and mind you, I am in love with this brilliant city. Well, I'm not saying General Santos is not brilliant okay, it's just that I am more in love with Davao. That's how good it is here, and very safe, too. You wanna come here now? Or planning to? Just leave a comment, or send me a message, and I will tour you around. Woho, I sound like I'm advertising this city.

My main source of income is being a web developer, and now I'm targeting to be a graphics designer. I'm good with PHP and sometimes I'm in love with it. The framework I specialized in is Wordpress, so honestly, if you find my website here quite plain looking, don't blame me okay? I don't specialized in Blogger platform. I'm a Wordpress geek. But I want to be flexible to almost anything, so I tried Blogger, that's why here I am. You will see me more often now, haha.

Aside from making websites, I also manage my client's social media. That makes me a Social Media Manager and a Web Developer. In fact, I have a favorite client for two years, and his name is Gary Micheloni, a coach from America. He is very kind you know, and supports me in almost a lot of things, especially regarding my field of work and even in my writing career. You can say that I am too blessed to have known him, not just a client but also as a friend and a mentor. In point of fact, I give him a high respect.

So, what's this blog all about? Well, as I said, this will be my extension of my writing path. I write articles that I'll publish here, may it be self-help or how to's. However, my contents here would be more on the lifestyle here in Davao, or in GenSan, and wherever my feet lead me to. I will serve as your Virtual Tourist Guide and will give you tips and maps around the city I live at, in case you plan to visit the safest city in the Philippines. 

Well, I won't take too much of your time so, I'll end it here for the moment. If you are reading by this far, I shall congratulate you, and I beg of you, please add me to your circles and connect with me. I shall love to interact. 

With all the best,

Jenine Silos, Founder of MediaSilos
