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.

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.

Carmina clicked on it checking if it sounded the samethi...

One Week Later after Arrival

One week later after your arrival to the Philippines staying at a home that you feel uneasy. Even though your living with any family member each one of them have their own house rules. The life they live in particular once you touch or move something they feel you’ve enter inside their comfort zone. The family member starts to feel uneasy not telling you directly to your face but to make a story out of it to someone else yet at your presence your there to hear it. Carmina and Mom Violy have been traveling together since May 4, 2022. Spending quite a time together and sleeping in same bedroom just like anyone we want our own space. During our stay at my sister’s home while family members were out of town. Carmina had transferred to another bedroom across from Mom Violy. Two weeks later Carmina moved back to the same room where we didn’t clash or hit each other nerves because we had time to ourselves. Even if Carmina was driving Mom Violy to her doctor’s appointment her stories were repe...
