To start my day, I listened to "mirrorball" by Taylor Swift. My most favorite line from the song is: "I'm still a believer but I don't know why I've never been a natural All I do is try, try, try I'm still on that trapeze I'm still trying everything To keep you looking at me" It's currently me, trying to do trial and error. I don't know if it worked but at least I tried. But before I appreciated the song, I always love to listen on "You're On Your Own Kid" by Taylor Swift.…
After eight days of heavy research and proofreading, I finally finished my script. It has been a month since my last upload. Since my account is still pending monetization, it’s quite hard to publish my 35-minute K-pop–related script. I mentioned too much vulgar words that might lead me to unfortunate results. After this, I will work on editing the video, thumbnail, and description. Editing the video will take me around five days since I can only dedicate four to five hours…
After I woke up, I was glad to see that there was a survey available. It took me a couple of days to get qualified for surveys again. Now, I’m wrapping up my blog after choosing to lie on my bed, lol.
It’s almost five years since I started writing here. Until now, I still remember that my first post was about the stereotype of having a favorite girl group. Then, the second one was about how I liked The Weeknd’s discography. That’s how my username was formed, since that was my initial goal for posting. It seems like my branding didn’t go as planned, because my third post was already about how I earned money online. Luckily, I didn’t stop, since I got my first visit from…
I started this day while listening to Counting Stars by OneRepublic. Its chorus screams the desire to count stars instead of counting dollars. Personally, I interpret it as financial freedom, where we’re not just living paycheck to paycheck. Instead of worrying about bills or anything else, we’re simply counting stars. Anyway, the song can be interpreted in different ways, especially in terms of religion or marriage.
Before I opened my laptop, I decided to gamify my self-improvement goals in my journal. One of the things I promised myself is that I will buy a Redmi Watch 5 and Baseus headphones. They are worth ₱3,008, and I know the price could change over time. I made sure to commit to this plan since the duration of my goal to get the Redmi Watch 5 is at least 45 days. If I don’t stay consistent, it will only slow down my progress. As for the Baseus headphones, I will only purchase…

I had a very good sleep because of the cold weather. As of the moment, it’s 21 degrees, and I believe this type of weather is my peak season. I stayed in bed a bit longer to jot down some ideas for my TikTok affiliate account. So far, I’ve been getting three consistent daily sales, although they’re not that big. I’m just enjoying the process and the lessons I gain from inspecting my analytics. While I’m still not earning that much yet, I’m glad I have ways to spend a little…
This morning, I was annoyed with my laggy laptop when I opened Canva for video editing. It frustrated me because the app and the laptop couldn’t process the file even though it was only 138 MB. Luckily, I managed to download some parts and decided to chop the video every three minutes from now on since it was 37 minutes long. By doing this, I could easily avoid hanging issues. I was really tired from dealing with that problem. If I had extra money to buy a new laptop, I…
A while ago, we went to the town proper to spend some family time. We couldn’t go to the mall because of my father’s condition. If you’ve read my blogs here, you know that my dad was diagnosed with a mild stroke. He’s still able to walk and move, but not like before. I still need to complete my personal blog, with the deadline set for tomorrow. I also hope to start my diet tomorrow since I’m already done with eating a lot this holiday season.
After publishing it, I realized that I should have spent that time doing my other errands. Anyway, the battery of my ergonomic mouse was already fully drained. That's why I bought a set of replacement last evening without hesitation. I promised myself that I would only buy what I really need and avoid impulse purchases. Honestly, I want to restart my skincare routine. However, I’m still waiting for a sale of that specific product since its price usually drop by up to 50%…
I’m literally in my breakout season right now. However, I couldn’t buy my favorite skincare product yet since it’s not on sale. Maybe I just need to control the urge and wait about 10 days before checking out and paying it using my credit limit. At the moment, I’m writing a blog about our family time yesterday. I also have eight pending videos to edit for my TikTok affiliate account. Because of that, I already expect that I’ll edit and schedule those eight videos this…
Here I am today, saving myself from working on 9-5 haha. Good day guys!
For this afternoon, I’m going to edit my videos on TikTok. I’m glad that I’ve already cleared my outstanding debts on Shopee. Take note that I still have two pending orders, which means pending debts. I just feel relieved that I’ve finally paid most of it, and it means I won’t need to worry about missing any payments. As much as possible, I only take a loan if I really need it or if I’m going to promote the product. I just need to keep everything balanced.
One of the things I regret is failing to diversify my savings accounts. I wasn’t wrong for saving money, since I’ve been doing that since I was a kid. However, what I failed to do was diversify where my money goes. They also say that you shouldn’t invest in stocks or anything similar if you don’t have an emergency fund yet. Right now, I’m trying to allocate ₱100 monthly to both my fiat and crypto savings accounts through my side hustles. One of my mistakes during my vacation…
I was so happy because I earned ₱20 from five products yesterday. It’s only a small amount, but I’m glad that I haven’t had zero commission for the past seven days. As long as I get commissions daily, it only means that people believe in me. That’s why I stay consistent in uploading affiliate videos and adding random personal videos in between. I can’t share too much yet about videos without the yellow basket since I’m still trying to learn my brand. Anyway, what worked for…
This morning, my mouth literally widened in shock when I saw the Girl From Nowhere page post their cover photo with “Girl From Nowhere: The Reset.” It’s my favorite series of all time, which makes it even more exciting. There’s also a rumor that the main lead will not be Kitty, lol. Now, I’m going to finish scheduling my blog and charge my iPad. I’m already halfway through my current YouTube video, lol, since I’m struggling a bit with my laptop because of the lag. I also…
I’m so happy because I almost finished filming all the TikTok videos I conceptualized on my Notion account until January 13. That’s the product of unemployment, haha—just kidding. I just realized that I forgot to do my afternoon duties for my YouTube scripts. Based on my tasks for today, I should have added the newly edited batch to my iPad. Since I already have content good for six days, I can now focus on my YouTube channel while still writing affiliate scenarios if ideas…
I was watching a drama right now, and I realized that I should spend time doing this every night and have a movie marathon every Thursday and Saturday. Maybe I will do it every time I finish reading books for the best experience. Doing this feels very therapeutic, as it helps me replace my bad habits. However, the catch is that I should put my phone and other gadgets away before I sleep. If I successfully eliminate my habit of scrolling on Facebook throughout the day by…
Just recently, my sibling opened up that he’s courting or making moves toward someone. My mother was upset since he often arrives home late. If you ask about his actions, I think it’s normal for his age. He’s already 17, for God’s sake. By the way, I remember writing an article here before mentioning that he already had three exes. Take note that he was only 13 years old at that time. Although I’m not opposed to his intention to enter a relationship, he still needs parental…
It's been four times since whales missed voting my articles. On top of that, I also didn't get much surveys from the past few days. My TikTok account was not yet getting 3 digits daily commission, but I'm glad that I didn't get into zero for nine consecutive days. Maybe I would cool down a bit by posting non-affiliate videos on my account and schedule it. By the way, my YouTube video is not yet finished until now. After I woke up, I followed myself that I will busy myself on…

"Boss up, settle down, got a wish (Wish) list (List) I just want you" Although “Wi$h Li$t” is often interpreted as a manifestation of love, I choose to see it as a manifestation of doing what I love. I really love this Taylor Swift song right now, haha. Anyway, it feels good to be damn optimistic again, even when I feel undervalued and demotivated.
While I was editing my YouTube video on my laptop, I couldn’t help but feel upset about how laggy it was. Editing became a disaster. I tried editing on my iPad, and it didn’t show too much lag at first, especially with shorter clips. I’ll try to continue editing after posting this short update. Since I can only use the device for 4–5 hours and it takes up to 3 hours to charge, I need to strategize how to use it more effectively.
I wrote in my notes about the signs of whether I should stop blogging consistently for the meantime. Unfortunately, it said yes. Maybe that sign could be good if I use my time for more profitable tasks. I will still visit the platform, but I’m not ready to write daily or every other day. Perhaps I can write again if there’s something worth sharing. At the moment, I have 14 TikTok videos, and some of them still need to be filmed and edited. In some cases, I still need to post…
I’m messed up today. Too much expectation can really kill you. Anyway, I filmed a lot of TikTok videos today. I retried doing direct selling without showing my face. So far, I already have 17 filmed videos, which is good for 9 days. I’m so damn tired doing all of this, and I’ll just edit 8 videos and schedule them. Editing and scheduling these videos feels like betting on the lottery. The more posts I create, the more chances of winning. Again, I hope they do fucking well.
Today is my fifth anniversary on this platform! Yey!
Currently playing “Good Days” by SZA on Spotify. I promise you, it’s a good song. Anyway, I just want to manage my expectations, even though I know this is only short term. I’ve experienced this before, so I’ll keep going. Better luck next time and keep improving!
5th Anniversary Special: Never-Stated-Thoughts It’s been a couple of months since my last post here, and it’s obvious that I mostly share short updates now. Writing full articles or blogs here no longer feels worth my time. However, posting short updates (although earnings aren’t guaranteed) still feels worth pursuing. Now that it’s my fifth anniversary on this platform, I’d like to share how I evolved as a writer. I also want to talk about things I haven’t fully articulated…
I regret putting a hair removal cream on my face although it removed my mustache. I just realized that it is inappropriate since it's only for other parts haha. Yes, I read it late. As a precaution and remove further damages, I put Petroleum Jelly onto my face as I experienced redness. Gladly it didn't receive blisters and I wouldn't apply that cream onto my face again. Good day still, though!
Finally, I have scheduled 14 TikTok contents for today. It was supposed to be 16, but I was afraid that those two videos might violate the guidelines. I just deleted them since I could no longer edit them properly. Instead, I’m going to reshoot them without making specific claims that could trigger violations. TikTok is getting stricter these days, but I partly understand it, lol. Since I don’t have many laptop tasks today and my pending tasks are on my tablet, I’m now going…
After five years of waiting, they have finally revealed the official poster for Girl From Nowhere: The Reset. I have mixed reactions after they replaced Kitty as the main character. There’s a part of me that anticipates feeling the thrill again through the new lead’s journey. Moreover, I believe that Becky can portray the character well. However, I can’t help but miss the original Nanno, since she was the reason I got hooked on the entire series. Girl From Nowhere is my…
This day was a blast, lol. It was my second time going to that place, and I enjoyed it even more. When my mother told me we were going there, I mentioned that we had already visited it with my cousin more than a year ago. Now, I was able to confirm it and actually enjoy the experience. The last time we went there was only for school purposes, unfortunately. I couldn’t really enjoy strolling around the area back then because we had to shoot videos, and I was one of the…
Last night, I was pissed when BLACKPINK’s company announced their mini-album after nearly four years of waiting. It’s just frustrating since their CEO said they would release a mini-album by November 2025. However, they rescheduled it and only released a poster saying it will come out in February 2026. I was supposed to write about this earlier, but there was a power interruption. Sometimes, it’s bad to scroll on Facebook because there’s a lot of negativity. We should always…
It’s really hurtful when you expect something to get recognition, only to realize you wish you hadn’t put in that much effort. Anyway, on that platform, you have a big advantage if you have connections. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t want to put too much time into it. You can beat the system, but not for the weaks. It just works that way. Maybe it was just bad timing, or maybe they didn’t like it. I’m probably just overreacting. There are still 15 days left to chase…
Finally, I can say that I only need to edit four more minutes of my current YouTube video. I’m expecting to finish it by tomorrow. Right now, I’m transferring the raw videos from my phone to my iPad to edit my TikTok content. While waiting, I’m working on my laptop, especially on templating videos that I can only do there. My laptop already needs a battery replacement, but it can still perform well for school work. As expected, I won’t do video editing this afternoon since…

A while ago, I brainstormed more than 10 TikTok affiliate contents. I'm planning to post 4x a day and strategized on how will I become consistent. My main focus right now aside from income is the retention rate. I believe that I should not much prioritize my earnings. I should worry about the average watch time of my target audience. This will help the algorithm to reach more audience depending on their preference. I'm currently working on strong hooks, empowering delivery,…
I’m almost done editing my YouTube commentary video. I’ll continue editing once my iPad is fully charged. For now, I’m trying to do a bit of editing on my Canva account, but it keeps hanging, which makes it difficult to navigate. Maybe I should work on something else in the meantime.
In the career I want to pursue, the most important thing I’ve learned is to show up. There are bad days, but I hope we’re still able to continue. We should also stay humble at all times. I’m currently being proactive in my career because I don’t want to live paycheck to paycheck. My mother wishes I had already graduated, but I’m glad that I haven’t yet because I still have time to explore my desired career. So far, I’m making progress as a TikTok affiliate. I’m now going to…
A while ago, I woke up and realized that I need to start my YT automation journey. That’s why I subscribed to a course where I get a step-by-step guide. I am currently pursuing a music commentary niche, but it seems like I need to add another niche. My currently published video needs more time to push itself to its target audience, though. Of course, I will still grind on my first channel, but I need to manage my overreliance. I did this because I believe it shifts me away…
I'm so busy trying to automate my YouTube channel right now. It still needs human touch, though. As of the moment, I'm currently trying to automate how I write my scripts without sacrificing my voice and tone. I added another YouTube channel and planning to produce more contents in the morning and afternoon. Right now, I'm going to edit my videos in TikTok since my iPad is fully charged. It looks I'm working harder this time, and I'm glad with it.
I'm still believing into plot twists this month lol. Good morning!
I'm still believing into plot twists this month lol. Good morning!
I hate it when you need to wait up to 1 hour just to transfer 600 MB of video from your phone to iPad. With this problem, I decided to purchase Google Drive to upload and download videos. It's easier and more effective that way, perhaps.
I checked my SPayLater due date, and I’m glad that my income from my side hustles can sustain it. Right now, I’m trying to maximize my credit limit on Shopee. I use it to pay our bills with a three-month installment and zero percent interest. I also watch a few videos on the platform where I can earn some coins. This helps me lessen our bills by up to 25%. My strategy to save money is to use credit instead of cash when paying my dues. Then, the cash my mom gives me for bills…
A while ago, I felt like I had a lot of thoughts in my head. All of a sudden, I felt relieved after using my earphones and playing some good music. I think I just need some simple ways to ease my mood, lol. Before I returned to finishing my last errand, I’m just dropping by here. I will plan how I will manage everything, from blogging to YouTube and TikTok. I feel like I’m already working. I hope everything pays off, and I’m planning to use tomorrow as my rest day. Good…
This day, I'm planning to schedule 3 blogs and clean my drawer in the afternoon. I'm planning to do it, so I have a chance to do all my side hustles from Monday to Saturday. I also wanted to spend my time on watching a drama I haven't watched continuously. For tomorrow, I'm sure that I'll stress myself again haha.

Supposedly, I should have been creating my YouTube Shorts. However, my CapCut seems to be crashing at the moment. When I tried editing my videos on my phone for my TikTok affiliate using its own editing software, it seemed like my phone couldn’t handle the lag. Despite that frustration, I was still able to edit five videos for my affiliate account. It wasn’t a smooth edit, but its AI noise remover from VO is top-notch. I hope my CapCut account will be okay once I turn it on…
Last evening, I tried to just watch YouTube music videos, write in my journal, and read books. For me, doing that alone is therapeutic because it helps me avoid drama and promotes peace of mind. It also distracted me from social media drama and feeling overly insecure. If I had managed that time effectively, I could have allotted more time in the morning, like walking my dog. I have more peace of mind right now compared to before, when I felt like my mind was too occupied.…

While I was editing a while ago, my iPad got low on battery, and I struggled to continue editing since it reverted to the free features. I had just purchased from an FB Marketplace seller, you know. I was frustrated because their account got deleted. Then, all of a sudden, I was surprised to find that I had CapCut Pro on one of my accounts. Take note that I’m no longer purchasing from them and I can use it until February 14. I don’t know if this is part of a promo or not,…

There have been times in my life that I just to hustle easily. I just want to lock in with one passion, but I couldn't afford the risk. Right now, I don't have any plans to work. I'm currently juggling being an affiliate, automating my YT channel (not really automating), blogging and other side hustles. Sometimes, I just want to push on growing my YouTube channel but I'm not yet ready to give up my affiliate journey. I also want to stop blogging, but it's a big help to…
I feel like my dog is going to die sooner or later huhu. I hope she can fight it. That's one of the reasons why I am striving as we can't afford to treat our pet's sickness and maintenance. Right now, I'm trying to accept it in advance huhuhuhu
