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 ...

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 didn't use our real name we had a name set out for that night. When the guy asked for our phone number we give them a make up one. I know it sounds really bad but when you’re young and you don't like the guy it is kind of hard to tell them at their face seem easier this way.

It is a game probably anyone did during our time when there was no phone at our time we only had a pager and use our landline number.

I remember I had my own landline phone number in my room because my mom loved eavesdropping in my conversation to me I wasn't getting any privacy so I asked my dad if I can have my own phone installed in my room this way I can also be responsible paying my own phone bill expenses.

My mom was very strict I remember I would come home really late because I would be the one driving my friends. I would pick them up and bring them home most of my friends lived opposite direction.

I think I gave my mom a headache from coming home not Cinderella time during those time phones we’re not invented it was a pager. My pager was always beeping.

A girl like me will not stop by at a phone booth to call and check your messages in your pager.

When you are young you are full of life and no matter if you get scolded as your mom is standing at the door waiting for you for hours and you come home having a lecture you kind of get use to it just goes one ear to the other.

We live life the fullest when you're young and of course when you do something really bad you get grounded for it and that is normal for any teenager or anyone living with their parents.

Even though I am not that age I still have a strict life because the people I live with are very old fashioned worse than my parents but I was able to cope with it since I don't have set of friends in the Philippines there is no way to rebel as we're teenagers that time. 

I do have a chance to go out Yann knows how it is and I feel like a teenager all over again.

If, you ever see someone riding their mountain bike with guys surrounded near her that is me I feel like a princess with so many security guards.
