I know this may seem weird to ask but is it possible if you guys and girls help me get additional subscribers for my main channel? As you may or may not know, Youtube made a whole 180 change on their Youtube Partner Program the other day and it says there that you need to have 1,000 subscribers and at least 4,000 hours of views (equals to 240,000 minutes) on your channel to be able to still be in the program. And I am asking you guys this because just like home much I love my blog, I also love my youtube channel and treat it as my main platform in sharing information with you guys. I would love to still earn from something that I love to do which is making videos on youtube. I only need about 309 more subscriber to survive this ordeal and I would definitely appreciate it if you guys share my videos to your friends if you find it funny or informative. I am really sad to be honest because I have to resort to asking people to subscribe to my channel because honestly I want my ...

For four days I have been into work. With meetings, inventories and accounting reports that I dreaded so much I was left with an empty shell of what I called optimism. I tend to over work myself sometimes which leads to a depressive state so I guess I went spiraling down. This may be due to the break up. We did end up back together after several hours of phone calls of us crying trying to figure out what went wrong and if we still wanted to be together. We do. I honestly just meditated most of my time to ease the stress of life. I can't take too much pressure on all aspects of life because I am like a bomb waiting to explode so don't try me. I am slowly getting back in the cycle of filming youtube videos. I am just really worried because I am given a 30 day notice that if I don't get at least 4k hours of views and 1k subscribers I will lose my monetization which is saddening. So that's it for now. I need to get back to work. I need to get things together for m...

If you have read my previous post, you will understand this post further. I never really intended to push him to breaking up with me. I did it because I wanted attention from him. Its either we fight or I become petty - and apparently I mixed those two together and it ended my relationship. During the first stage of our relationship it was okay. He was the clingy one in the relationship but the farther we got into the journey the more he pushed me away. Before we finally broke up I had my breaking point. It was about a week ago when we had a fight and 'broke up'. When that scenario happened I finally had my last breath of hope of him not being stubborn and just say sorry. He was the one who was wrong during our argument that time by the way which is why I wanted him to apologize. It was over my facebook account password. I know there will be mixed reactions towards this but as much as I love him I prefer my facebook to be as private as where I keep my underwear should...

At 1:08 AM my heart fell to the ground. We broke up. Me and him decided we just need to break up. And honestly enough I knew it was going to happen. We were only a day away in spending our third month being together as a couple. Its sad and honestly I wanted to cry my heart and soul out but I think a voice inside me kept saying you are way too good to cry over this. And at 3:04AM I still haven't shed a tear. I will make a proper video that led up to the break up because I prefer talking about it rather than typing it because there might be some things I will filter out unlike in my videos I rarely filter myself to the point that I scare myself for being blunt. I admit that the break up wasn't as bad as my previous ones but this one strike a string in my dainty heart because I sincerely loved him. I tried to be as understanding to him as I can but I have my limitations. With our relationship, it was more of me taking care of him rather than a two way street. I never ...

2018 is truly opening doors of opportunities as SWIMBIKERUN.ph (SBR.ph) is recognized by the Department of Tourism (DOT) as a prime local group responsible for the tri-series events in the country. Setting the tri-series event this March, May and June, the triathlon community is sure to expect a more energized set of events that will definitely rock this year. This year, the featured events of SBR.ph will start with a press conference that is set at the activity area of the Century City Mall. With Century City Mall as event location host for this year, SBR.ph will not only have its press con at the said area but also the Tripalooza and the SBR.ph Awards Night giving glamour and recognition that the growing community deserves. Gracing the said recognition night event is from the DOT to give talk and support for the said community. SBR.ph is a hobby based on passion that grew from an online shop of triathletes needs into an event group set for beginners and elite athle...

There were times that I would just be all over the place with my ideas that I needed a physical notebook for me to write them. That is why I bought all those stuff the other day to provide me more time to spend less online and just write. And I know it sounds weird coming from a blogger that she wants to spend less time online and just write, but that is how I want to do sometimes. With social media taking over so rapidly, sometimes I just want to slow down and just enjoy my day instead of going through my instagram, facebook and twitter to know what other people are up to. I've let go of my fear of missing out a long time ago. I realized that living MY life is more important than minding what other people are doing online. If you noticed, I never went with the flow of things like trends and stuff because I know to myself I can't keep up with that so I will just go do my own thing. The fear of missing out is basically our brain telling us to go with the current even if...

You know when you are in the mood to work on a project then all of a sudden you just can't work because the most important thing you need just won't work? Yeah. My internet sucks. The funny part in this predicament is that I usually edit my videos before I go to bed which is around 10:30PM to 11:30PM which is when not a lot of people in my house are connected to the WiFi thus I have the bandwith to myself. Wow, I sound so selfish saying that. It just frustrates me that I should have faster internet connection during this time because if I use my mobile data my wallet will be screwed because I need to get a data plan that is way more than my budget. And I actually pay on time on my internet service which sucks more because WHY IS MY SERVICE NOT AT PAR WITH ME PAYING ON TIME?? And another thing that iffed me today is the whole youtube partnership issue. The whole jist of it is if you don't have xx amount of views per month and xx amount of subscribers you are not e...

I got a bluetooth headphones! I know this is a lame but the fact that I now have this amazing thing that will help me concentrate when I write because I like listening to music when I write. But usually I listen to ambient music to make me concentrate and it works. Today I bought some stuff because I needed to get new stuff to make me feel good. And for some reason I've learned that retail therapy is amazing when you feel miserable. I mostly bought stationary stuff because I like writing on a notebook. And maybe this is my adulting side but going through my accounting makes me so stressed out that I need to have a notebook for everything - no joke. I bought a bunch of notebooks that I find cute and new pens because its never a bad idea to get a new pen once in a while. I also bought some products to review for my youtube channel and I missed shopping for myself. I missed going through aisles of products and just be amazed. The biggest purchase I got would probably b...

I got sick. Its terrible. I thought it was just a common cold or something but it was not. I got broncho pneumonia AGAIN. YES. AGAIN. I experienced it back in 2010 when I overworked myself to the point I only get 2 hours of sleep when I was working in the BPO industry which also lead me to quitting that job because I was mentally and physically exhausted getting cursed for being incompetent by someone that lived on the other side of the world. But this time it was worse than the first one. I felt like my whole body was giving up on me that I lost a lot of energy to even move for more than five minutes at a time! I know it might be an exaggeration, but surely it was how I felt at that exact moment. The good thing about the experience is that I was able to enjoy the comforts of sleeping peacefully even though I felt my whole existence was about to end after every horrendous coughing fit. I was also able to experience amazing Korean soup from my Korean neighbor when she fo...

I feel sick. Scratch that - I AM SICK! This maybe because of the weather and stress coming to push me down. I really can't breath properly which scares me to go to sleep. I had to sleep sideways or laying on top of my stomach afraid I might die if I sleep on my back. I am getting more paranoid than ever which is frustrating. I went to the doctor's office earlier to get myself checked because what I am having doesn't want to leave me. The doctor gave me medicine and actually advised me to get admitted but I opted not to because I don't have enough funds to get myself admitted. I hate getting sick. As much as I love to sleep in my bed all day, I prefer to get up and work. So far that is what happened today. Wish me luck for a faster recovery. I really need it. xx Alice

Yes. I know I am posting this a day after its supposed to. I can explain. It sounds weird but on the day of my birthday I had a mental breakdown. I was emotionally exhausted to the point that I just wanted to cry. Luckily, babe was there to calm me down because more and more my anxiety attacks become worse and worse. One of the things I am thankful was someone made an effort to make me feel my birthday was special besides from my immediate family - my TBDC family. They didn't really gave me the glitzy kind of party but just a simple dinner where we just spent hours upon hours of talking and catching up since I have been busy at the bakery last 2017. TBDC has been my second family. They loved me to the point that even if I screwed up they would just be there backing me up. Besides from my immediate family, my TBDC family showed me a whole new world ahead of me. They believed in my potential and made me a better person now. Thank you The Big Difference Communications for ...

Jeskelerd ITS OFFICIAL! I AM 29 YEARS OLD!  I cannot stress enough how old I feel now that my 20s are ending. That reality just hit me hard in the face when I realized that damn girl you will be entering the 30 mark in another 365 days of your life. But nonetheless I am thankful. I am thankful of all the people, those that have stayed and those that just chose to pass by to mold me into the person that I am. There were just things in life that will go and stay for the better so if you are experiencing that don't worry more people will come your way. I had a talk with my mom the other night about the impending stress we will be having about expanding my business. I already told her that I will be hiring new people in to help us out and she stressed out the fact that she is one of the most paranoid people in the world. This part actually was when our talk became a screaming match because she won't budge for it and it frustrated me because we won't go anywhere if we ...

You guys know what I am talking about.  The video where Logan Paul- the famous youtube star visits Aokigahara Forest or commonly known as Suicide Forest in Japan and unluckily sees a dead body hanging and decided to show it to the world! 

I will be combining day 2 and 3 in today's post because: 1. I totally forgot to write it and I'm sorry. This will never happen for sure. 2. There was a lot of things going in my head that I can't focus. so here goes...

Hey there! I should've wrote this sooner but you know - holidays! I went back to manning the bakery today at 7AM. It was gruesome. I am not a morning person so putting on a smile in the morning is just dreadful for a person like me. I know its weird since I am quite known to be very outgoing and jolly but to be fair not everyone can be perfect. Today was fine. There were a lot of free time for me to do things around the bakery. For one, I was able to organize all the items that we need to stock up like coffee and the drinks. I'm surprised at how meticulous I am when it comes to organizing things. I get too obsessed in making it all aligned and coordinated I am surprised. I did something stupid today though. I would like to kick myself in the face because I just sucked in keeping my mouth shut. I honestly hate my own mouth at times its annoying. Another thing that kept me busy is reading Mangas of Junji Ito. If you don't know him-GOOGLE.HIM.NOW. I am a big ass ...
