From private practice to public premiere: Carmina’s first YouTube debut changes everything.

Every day, I would join Lyn’s livestream after being active and chatting with others who were also watching. Lyn once advised us to premiere long videos since they count toward public watch hours, just like livestreams. She suggested they be over ten minutes, but to me, that felt too short premieres felt more like livestreams where you entertain viewers for one, two, or even three hours straight. Recently, while on vacation, I decided to try my first premiere since my video was an hour and thirty-six minutes long. At first, I was nervous as a newbie, unsure if it was the right move, but sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone to see what might help with YouTube watch hours . Carmina joined her friend's livestream to announce an upcoming premiere on Tuesday, January 13, Philippine time , since many viewers are in different time zones. It’s common during livestreams for the host to make such announcements and pin them so other viewers can turn on notifications and subscr...

Street Taco


Carmina grew up with Mexican friends from high school, college, and beyond. Over the years, while keeping in touch, her friends would often share what they ate after work. One friend mentioned eating at a street taco stand in a specific location. In California, these are called taco trucks, serving homemade Mexican dishes prepared fresh based on your order.

In the Philippines, taco trucks aren't available, but there are restaurants where Mexican food can be enjoyed by dining in. During the pandemic, Carmina started ordering food online using the Grab Food app. She finally discovered an authentic Mexican restaurant in the Philippines and decided to try their Camarones A La Diabla Street Tacos, made with spicy chipotle shrimp, cabbage, and a special sauce, priced at PHP 170.00 ($3.40).


Carmina enjoyed her Camarones A La Diabla Street Tacos, which came in two pieces and were definitely spicy but still tolerable to eat.

For those who love jalapeños and want to try some fries with various toppings, I have something for you to check out. It's called Jalapeño Cheese Fries, priced at PHP 140.00 ($2.80).


Don't worry, for those who aren't into jalapeños, there's an option called Cheese Fries, priced at PHP 140.00 ($2.80).


We also have burritos, and here's a tip: if you're a big eater, you might want to double your order because one won't be enough to fill you up. I realized this when they arrived at our home. These burritos are not the same size as the ones in California where I grew up. The Al Pastor is shawarma-style with marinated pork and Mexican rice, priced at PHP 244.00 ($4.80).


Carnitas is roasted pork served in San Diego style with French fries for PHP 272.00.


The Al Pastor and Carnitas Tex-Mex burritos at El Chupacabra are a favorite, especially when ordered without vegetables, which is why you might not see them included. You can customize your order to match your preferences, ensuring satisfaction with your Mexican food, even if you're not dining in person.

To get the menu El Chupacabra and order through them or via Grab Food just like what Carmina did to be delivered to your location.
