Celebrate day 365? Here’s what YouTube does to grow after year one

The truth will be revealed when Carmina Lifestyle reaches the deadline of her 365 days on YouTube on October 23, 2025 . A month ago, it was a hot topic among my subscribers who were in a similar situation, with their anniversaries approaching. I also know friends who have had their YouTube channels for many years, and while they didn’t get monetized before their anniversary, they managed to achieve it afterward. Carmina is curious to see how things will unfold for her since she doesn’t do live streaming , unlike my friends who are already monetized. I’ve also noticed other channels with many subscribers that aren’t monetized, even though they do live streaming. Ultimately, it’s really up to you how you want to approach achieving the monetization timeline. Today is Friday, October 24, 2025. Looking at my YouTube Studio data as of October 18, 2025 , my public watch hours are at 1,506 out of 3,000.  It takes time for watch hours to update and reflect accurately. Carmina is not in ...

Bring Out the Old Negatives to Life






As the generation change the technology becomes more challenging to most people who are not use to it. There are some people who are still using a camera just like in the olden days. 

I was cleaning out my attic and found some film negatives that I kept away from so many years from my childhood.

I had search online to check if there are still photo shops that can still develop my film negatives. All my friends we're laughing at me thinking it is impossible.

I started calling photo shops near my area. They had informed me they no longer do it.

I didn't want to let my memories that shared my life during my childhood years to become a waste. I couldn't remember my pictures as I was glancing through the film under the light of my laptop.

I didn't want to stop searching online. I found out you can actually use a special scanner for your negatives. 

I checked online where to buy this sort of scanner. I started checking online to see if there we're photo shop that can do it for me.

I was so happy and found a photo shop called, "Columbia Cubao Photo."

The great part for one roll of film or 100 frame of negative is PHP 300.00 ($ 6.00) and an additional charge to put into a blank CD-R of PHP 150.00 ($3.00). I gave them my own CD-R and put all the pictures inside. To prevent the additional charges.

It takes one week to scan the pictures.

I was so happy after one week finally all my childhood memories went back into my life after reminiscing and recalling my past. 

To the friends who had laughed at me I was able to share my pictures with them.

Anything is possible when you strive to look for an alternative to find what you are looking for.
