Uncover the surprising results of Carmina's decision to invest in a wireless Lavalier microphone and how it revolutionized her approach to blogging.

Carmina realized she needs to invest on a microphone when does filming outside. Many of my friends who are digital creator have already made some purchases, yet they live in a different country. I remember Elizabeth said we should start investing since we are blogging outside and the sound of the surrounding overpowers when we are talking to each other. Carmina did some research and something that is practical going under our budget. This time I had message the seller if my android phone is compatible with the  Avidus  L20 HD Noise-cancelling Wireless Lapel Microphone with Charging Case.

Satisfy Your Cravings During Lockdown

My mom has been asking me to buy her brownies which she is use to eating everyday when she feels that she is hungry but yet she has no appetite to eat regular food. Sometimes when you have a habit of certain food you love to eat and when you haven't eaten those kind of food you start to look for it but the hard task for me was to find places that brownie for her everything I had tried to ordered online was either it was listed available but when the driver would pick it up at the bakery, cafe or restaurant it comes to mind their system is not updated and you get disappointed because it is sold out. The next morning you do the same thing find a place that has the brownie available to get the craving that your mom is looking forward in eating. Sometimes we cannot satisfy another person's cravings so you have to improvise and figure something close to a brownie. Finally, you have found a chocolate muffin just to pass up her cravings but when you find out there a...

Feeling Restless At Home

There are some people not only young who are feeling restless at home when you are living in the Philippines and being unable to do normal routine in your daily life you begin to feel helpless. Those who are feeling that way are the elderly people who are use to going out to get some fresh air and walk around to the market to see faces in front of them and gather together just to do small talk. What happens like times like this when you're prohibited to go out because of your age?  I was talking to my mom the other day and she was telling me how people her age who are not use to staying home want to commit suicide or they feel they will die early because they are not capable to go out and see the world. They feel life was easier for them if they follow and reach to heaven because there is no covid-19 there and they would be at peace with no more worries. I asked, my mom if she had ever felt that way and she said at their age they feel lonely especially if they have...

Kombucha Made By: Glow Organic Phil.

I was able to ask from  Hazel Villanueva  where I ordered Kombucha if I can inform my audience about their product because I have been ordering from Glow Organic Phil. twice in a row and I realize not many people know about Kombucha after I had post a video about my Kombucha replacement of my beer. The Story of from Hazel  Villanueva: Hazel Villanueva had currently worked at Sofitel Philippines Plaza Hotel in the Philippines. I met an American guy who introduced me the ancient elixir kombucha because he noticed I am suffering from back pain. He taught me how to brew and fermented on my own. He bought scoby and other organic ingredients (starter kits) on making my kombucha. I quit my job because of my back pain was getting worse. I’ve been drinking kombucha for months. Fermenting it over and over as I’m growing and expanding my own scoby. I noticed that it really gives me more energy and the pain lessen up along with my herbal supplement that he bo...

Always a Cinderella in My Life

I remember when I was in college and going out with my friends I always wore a navy blue trench coat because my mom was very strict with me. As I walked out the front door my mom always inspect the clothes I wore and she always told me to change my clothes if my skirt was too short or my blouse was too revealing. What my mom didn't know I had extra set of outfits in my car because I knew my mom was very old fashioned and wanted me to be covered from head to toe. I would changed my clothes at my friend's home and have the clothes I came out in my car when I need to change back into them when I had entered home this way I don't get caught from my mom. You are young you need to find ways and means to look better when you're out with your friends and you know we compete to see who dresses better and how we look by appearance. I remember at the Celebrities night club if my friend and I didn't like a certain guy who asked us for our name we ...

Changes After Staying at Home

Funny Story: Sometimes when someone looks at your picture and they notice something different the way you look that your appearance is different from the time they last saw you and when you stay home in your house for so many months they see something right away that you may not see. What they see is your hair is longer because you have no source in having it cut and your friends realize that the hair style looks good on you. Your friend tells you not to have it cut when it is time to come out and explore. What my mom notice is that I have some make up on my face so my mom had questioned my new profile picture. My Mom : Wow! Nice make up! Guess you enjoy staying home! Me : Yes I am so bored staying at home nothing else to do. My Mom : I don’t want to put make up on because no one sees me here. Me : I prefer to put make up on because I have video calls from my friends I don’t want to look like I didn’t take a bath. My Mom : I don’t blo...

Social Distance

Life is boring so we find other things to do if we can’t go out why not call your friend up and have a video call and drink together but in our own homes. We may want to spend time with our friends but since we’re not allowed to we find other ways to spend time with our friends. Yann wanted me to drink and she was the only girl in the house she was at and she asked, me do you have an alcohol to drink with me. I said, yes I do so we started toasting each other by taking our pictures during our conversation. I was in charge of taking our picture during our call. Toward the end I couldn’t finish my bottle I was already red I am not a drinker so I always cannot finish one bottle. Yann told me she will attend a barbecue and she said, I am inviting you to come along I said, sure so another video call will take place during that time. No matter if you cannot be with your friends there are always a video call away so if you are feeling lonely and want to go o...

Jail from Home

I can’t seem to wait until I get released from my jail home that makes us eat the same food every day and we wake up in odd hours as we have a guard outside to check out if we are in our room. We wake up awkward hours not like we have anything to do. Our hair has sprouts and we want to have it cut but all we do is keep having it keep growing. We look at our pictures of the outside world and keep crossing out the days until we can go out and be paroled soon we’ll be released. We have a list of places and places to eat when the time comes and we are released from our jail home. There will no longer be a violation under our name because our name is already cleared. One day the key is there to see the world how we miss so much for the two months in jail home we are home sick but not from our home but from the life outside.

Friendships Begins to Change

As we are staying home we come across friends who you haven’t chat or communicated for a long time and when they start chatting with you they come across giving you not your name but a name they are suppose to give their boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse not really meant for a friend. I have come across this recently and I have seen people get really lonely when they stay home and they are bored to death but they have spouses in their home but when you come across a friend calling you baby. I start to question them who are you referring to baby you know for sure that is not your name. As I am talking to my friends I will stop them question them hey I am not your baby and I don’t like being called a baby in the first place. I have a name and I’d rather stick to it. Sometimes you need to put a stop on your friendship it might lead to something else that you don’t see yourself in that direction. I’ve notice these past weeks how my friends are reacting how they start to cli...
