Carmina was looking for the best way to hang treasured pictures and mementos from a keepsake. I felt it was time to bring them out and display them on my wall. I saw many options, from cork boards to felt boards , but I didn’t want an ordinary board hanging there. I wanted it to be part of my wall décor, placed above my desk where I sit daily—something I could look up at and be reminded of past travels and accomplishments. Some people keep them in photo albums or store them digitally, but I wanted mine on display. What caught my eye from an ordinary felt board something had a roof which remind me a house. The best part it is light weight and it has a mount tape in the back attached to the felt board included was thumb tacks and something else where can decorate. Carmina had purchased the three dimensions roof felt board wall self-adhesive retro premium wall decoration message measurement of 60x80 cm in color camel for 875.00 pesos ($14.34) not including shipping and handling.

Carmina became serious about her YouTube channel in 2023 and realized she needed to understand how everything worked behind the scenes. Over time, she learned in many ways, exploring both the inside and outside of the platform. She often joined random live streams without knowing the host, just to see if they had anything in common. Watching their videos sparked curiosity about how they were during live streaming, encouraging her to explore more. Her channel started small, and in the Filipino community, a small channel is often referred to as being in grade school or having a small “Bahay” that needs more visitors—or subscribers. She appreciated those who helped grow her channel but learned the hard way that not everyone who subscribes genuinely watches her content. Reaching 1,000 subscribers was a roller coaster, with numbers going up and down, which could be discouraging, but she kept posting long videos, improving her expression, and finding ways to move forward. She avoided live streaming because speaking for two hours straight strained her voice and made her sick, preferring instead to create longer videos with purpose. A subscriber once pointed out that her viewers didn’t see her face, so she occasionally began showing it in her long videos to connect more personally. Having grown up in California and now living in the Philippines, she faced language barriers, but she saw no excuse not to watch someone’s video—especially since YouTube offers international captions. She often acted as a translator, explaining English content in Tagalog and vice versa, seeing it as an advantage to speak both languages.
Carmina was on vacation in California, jet-lagged, and watching her friend’s livestream, leaving her confused about why I was awake during their hours. I explained that I was currently visiting the United States. During my trip, I made videos without realizing they needed to be at least sixteen minutes long to count toward public watch hours. I should have made them longer, but I learned not to delete any posted videos, as that would cause a loss of those hours. While on vacation, I helped my family, relatives, and friends—many of whom didn’t know how—to use the YouTube app on their phones, subscribe to my channel, watch videos, like them, comment, and share. This included people of all ages, even seniors unfamiliar with the concept, not realizing it works like any other social media platform. There are also silent viewers who subscribe but don’t interact, often keeping their settings private so others can’t see who they are, which I understand. I’m happy if people watch my long videos from start to finish, especially since views from the United States are said to generate twice the revenue per watch hour. Carmina eventually returned to the Philippines, still jet-lagged but able to catch up and post more vacation videos. By the time I fully understood how everything worked, my one-year deadline—October, my channel’s anniversary—had passed. It’s fine, though; learning from experience is important, and I didn’t want to rush. No one is perfect, and we figure things out as life guides us. Carmina turned her videos into daily vlogs to give people a better glimpse of what I really do.
