Did you know filling your eTravel form can save hours at the airport?

One problem when departure San Francisco returning back to Manila, Philippines was filing online forms for the  E Travel . Everyone who wasn't prepared and unable to figure how to fill up the form was required before you would present your flight information and passport to Philippines Airlines. The process had delayed each passenger filling up the forms. I recommend you filling up the form letting you do it 48 hours before your departure. Make sure you have a picture available in your cellphone to be able retrieve and attach it to the form you've filled up. Once you've completed the forms, you'll receive an email with a QR Code make sure you screen shot it and present it upon your arrival when needed. Anyone who is your family members can be under your application just need to fill up the form with their details. Upon arriving in the Philippines, you will receive a SMS from the mobile number given. NOT SPONSORED. Check out  Carmina Lifestyle YouTube Channel  and click ...

You won't believe what Uncle Ando remembers about Ma Mon Luk.

Uncle Ando is the brother of Mom Violy who is visiting the Philippines. Carmina asked Uncle Ando what he would like to eat for dinner. Uncle Ando said from his past memories working in the bank long time ago had remember having a meal at  Ma Mon Luk . We had walked in upon entering there wasn't that many ceiling fans that was working. Someone visiting the Philippines is not use to a restaurant with no air conditioner.  During that day Carmina wasn't feeling well but made sure she had the chance to pick up her Uncle Ando since he had taken care of us in our California vacation. Mom Violy had ordered four bowls of beef mami soup and four bola bola siopao since asado siopoa was out of stock. Verdict the way Uncle Ando remembered the taste of the food from Ma Mon Luk wasn't even close to the taste. Uncle Ando felt since we ate late at night the broth was just added with water and even if he had added seasoning on the table the taste was bland. The restroom was very dirty and so...

Carmina was on vacation on the month of June visiting California. Carmina has a best friend who wanted to bring me out to explore only difference she is not into the social media. It was difficult to explain why needed to film places we went together. Carmina's best friend asked if she would like to visit a museum in San Francisco. I said sure giving me something my viewers would be able capture the inside a museum. Carmina's best friend went to pick her up and was told no filming while we're together. I was sad and wanted to film places making it a memory. Upon reaching Golden Gate Park Carmina held back filming when said to my best friend Mom Violy would like to see what is inside  De Young Museum . The only problem she cannot walk several hours will get tired. Mom Violy is into museum. Best friend sure you can film inside just no talking or adding me to the video.

Why I owe everything to my YouTube family — it’s more than just views.

Friendship starts when we meet someone unexpected. I was drawn to  Flowing Through Life  when she was in a car doing her Door Dash explaining her life with us. Flowing Through Life mentioned her friend  Stardust Dreamer  went to her channel during that time she had a challenge for herself to video in public something wasn't used to filming. Struck to me some people are not used to filming people looking at them while for me it is the opposite been doing it for a long time. Watching Stardust Dreamer in her live streaming became a habit to find out who the real person was and met some common friends by shout out who I am. Finding we had a lot in common even though living in different places learn new things had expanded ourselves was introduced to the following friends  The Home Slice and Skillet Show ,  The Trying Times ,  The Chicken Explorers ,  Viola's Baked and cooked delight ,  Enique Woods ,  Pitts Life ,  Randy ,  Model L...

Ready to discover what YouTube isn’t telling you after 500 subs?

After returning back from California vacation Carmina Lifestyle has reached 500 subscribers yet thinking all you need was to unlock 3,000 watched hours. Take a look there is no way can reach 3M views on your short videos not unless we won the jack pot. I can understand why my family at YouTube Channel are struggling to reach it even if they have 1k subscribers. This is what you also need to unlock at 1,000 subscribers which gives you a challenge to see how dedicated you are. I have encounter people who have so many subscribers and no income they say the salary is very slow. I think you cannot depend on YouTube to pay your bills you really need a job that can pay off your bills. The reason why I have my channel is an album for my family especially for Mom Violy a place where we can look back from memories the past. As our parents and family are being to age there will be a time in our life they will no longer exist or remember who we are. It doesn't mean Carmina will quit her channe...

  Carmina was trying to increase her subscribers in the YouTube Channel being newbie some people call me having not many subscribers. No one knows you had so many followers in your Facebook Page yet being a new person inside a social platform. These new people who have no clue who you are. I decided to put off uploading my videos since really had no activities just staying at home during holy week. All I did was just watch videos from my subscribers and when they are doing live streaming was able to communicate with their friends. I even entered to someone's live who didn't even know I had subscribed to their channel.  The person even said Carmina Lifestyle looks like a name that I am not familiar.  The person who was doing her live streaming said let me check out who you are using another phone holding it up showing me at the screen. The person had watched two videos that was long due to help support someone with their watched hours. She left the phone on so other people...
