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.

Being Blind on Right Eye

You come across that your running low on your contact lenses and having different grades on your eye from right and left. Carmina has a funny story when she would be able to go in person to  Sarabia Optical in the shopping mall. The sales lady would tell me I am sorry we don't have your contact lens available for your right eye. I would tease the sales lady oh my I will become blind because my grade is different in both eyes without having contact lens I won't be able to see clearly. The sales lady would just smile at me saying we can order from our manufacture and can be available the following week. I would always ask Sarabia Optical what is their promotion for my contact lenses but due my right eye being greater meaning it has astigmatism there is no sale for my Air Optix Contact Lens during this time. Each box of Air Optix Contact Lens with Astigmatism has three contact lenses inside which is three months to use. Unfortunately, I cannot wear reading glasses due to my visio...

Smoked Paprika Shrimp Salad and Levantine Chicken Laffa at Medley Modern Mediterranean

  Carmina didn’t feel like eating the food at home prepared by Manang V, which was beef nilaga and grilled stuffed bangus , due to the humid weather in the Philippines . Eating soup only adds to the heat, especially when the air-conditioner struggles to cool the room. I decided to go for a salad instead. It felt like a good way to start eating healthy and looking for a place to buy one led me to Medley Modern Mediterranean . I discovered the Smoked Paprika Shrimp Salad , which includes romaine lettuce , Israeli salad , wheat , fried eggplant , feta cheese , shrimp, and lemon garlic dressing , all for PHP 379.00 ($7.58). I thought of getting something extra with my meal in case I wasn't in the mood for the food at home, making it worth the trip in one go.  I spotted the Levantine Chicken Laffa , which includes chicken thigh , mixed greens, hummus , Israeli salad, fried eggplant, and mamba sauce , priced at PHP 299.00 ($5.98). I had the chance to try the Smoked Paprika Shrimp S...

My mom has been inquiring from her barangay where she lives and each day she will keep following up to make sure they would remember who she is from being motivated to get her way. My mom later after few months later someone had sent her an application to fill up where she was living. My mom began thinking which type of vaccine would be best for her since she had medical conditions she had to deal with what other doctors and friends are recommending. My mom was able to solve which one was best for her. My sister from the United States was very concern for her mother even asking her to fly to see them to have her vaccine there since she is a US Citizen.
