My New YouTube Channel

Hi Lovelies!

I have a new YouTube Channel where I put the artsy part of me to work. I just started out making videos with currently 4 uploads. And oh boy--- it's hard to film! You have to make sure about a lot of stuff or else your clips will be incomplete and you'll have to start out again.

The things you'll need to film...

- Of course a camera, you can use a simple point & shoot cam or the complicated dslr's

- LIGHTING! This one makes me crazy, it's so difficult to get the proper lighting but natural daylight is the best!

- Your ideas of what to film

- Laptop or PC to edit and to use as a monitor for live view shooting

- YouTube Account

Some mini pointers for those who want to film...

- Make sure you have enough battery to finish filming

- Gather your thoughts before letting the camera roll or you'll have an issue with your battery! haha

- Experiment with the different angles you can place your lighting stands

- A checklist helps with getting through all the ideas you want to film especially if you're a newbie like me

If you have time to spare, here are my uploaded vids...

My Life with Dogs

There you go, Lovelies! Having my own beauty & lifestyle channel has been loooong dream of mine since I started out watching makeup tutorials, cooking shows on YT around 8 years ago. As of today I have as little as 43 but loving subbies and 700+ views. It took me all my courage to film and post these vids. And if my channel will make it and inspire ordinary gals out there, I'd be happy to look back to this day and see my hardwork. It will take me more work and patience but I'm willing to do ALL that. And if not, at least I have done something for my little dreamy channel. 

If you want to do something, DO IT NOW. You will have to go out of your comfort zone but like diamonds pressured deep under the Earth, you will hopefully come out with the precious version of you. May God bless you all and grant your greatest desires in life!

XOXO,

Anna

Meeting JLovesMac1

Lovelies!!!

If you are reading this blog, chances are you might be one of the girls who also watches Youtube videos of Beauty Gurus... Are you a subbie of JLovesMac1? 

Well I just want to share my experience on her Meet & Greet last April 1, 2013 at the Guess Store in New Glorietta. 

I am very lucky to meet one of my fave Beauty Gurus and she is a Filipina too!  She's here for a vacation/reunion with her family after 14 years of being in the US. Jarmaine Santiago also known as 'JLovesMac1' in the Youtube beauty community is very different from her virtual alter ego. She seems very shy but not snob! Looks better in personal and I adore her tanned skin which she got from her stay in Boracay. She entertained everyone during the event given a limited time (her flight back home is later that evening). I say about little less than a hundred came? Not entirely sure though. 

I am a subscriber of her channel for years now and I really enjoy watching her videos. She's not your ordinary Beauty Guru! She also airs advice videos. And her sense of humor is remarkable which makes  her not boring to watch.

Thank you Jarmaine for giving some of your time to your Pinay subbies! More power and remain down to earth as you already are!

This is also a shoutout to Kate who I met during the event. She was my companion throughout the meet & greet. And she was very kind to take a picture for me because my phone's battery is about to die that time. We exchanged numbers and since then we followed each other back thru our IG accounts. haha Thank you Kate! :D  

LOVE,

Anna
