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.

Rizza located in Farmer's Market Cubao



Every day you learn something new how people in the palengke or what we call public market where you buy fresh meat, fish, seafood, vegetables and fruits. Yesterday, I came across from a store that was about to close. As I was watching them close their stall I was curious just watching what they we’re doing. Sometimes we don’t realize how everyone closes their store differently.

My mom was buying fresh crab and fresh shrimps at Farmer’s Market. I was set aside while she did more shopping to watch over her seafood while she had wandered away. I just stood where she had bought her fresh seafood.

This is what I saw the seafood that they sell for example crabs, shrimp and squid they are all place in a separate bins that are open. 
  • Pour water to wash out the dirt from the shrimp
  • Drain the water
  • In the container like a cooler place a plastic inside place the shrimp inside
  • Add crushed ice even it out
  • Add another level of shrimp
  • Add crushed ice 
  • Cover with plastic and the lid for the cooler 
They would do the same concept on the other fresh seafood. The only thing they would bring back home with them is the live crabs that are placed inside a plastic bin and they would wash it out as well before transferring in its container.

Where do they store the fresh fish, squid and shrimp under their counter where there is a hidden storage space? I never thought about it how they do this daily.

How to choose the crabs?
  • Babae (Girl) with aligi
  • Lalaki (Boy) white taba (meat)
  • Bakla (Gay) white taba (meat)
The live crabs sell for PHP 1,300.00 per kilo ($26.00).

The fresh medium size shrimp sell for PHP 600 per kilo ($12.00).
