About YouTube
After working with multiple startups and creating videos for clients, I decided to explore my own creativity. Through filming and editing 175+ videos, I was able to establish a visual style and find my voice. The topics range from talking about Filipino culture, yapping about space, to a vlog of my most recent trip. The channel has grown to 650+ subscribers and is only just beginning.
Most content created online is not made by people that look like me. With every video I make, I hope to inspire more people to create their own content, provide a brief escape from their busy lives, or to learn more about an interesting topic.
I've learned many things throughout this journey but the one thing I learned was to start before you are ready. This channel is proof that you can get quality results by a bit of discipline and the will to figure things out along the way.
Filipino food Series
Food is a universal language for people to understand more about a culture. In my most popular video (38k+ views) I show my friends a local Filipino restaurant in NYC and what we would eat at a typical Ihawan (BBQ) restaurant.
Yappy Hour Podcast Series
Speaking in front of the camera is no easy task. I combined this practice with speaking with my friends about their favorite topics. In this episode, we discuss group dynamics, MBTI, and personality theory.
Travel Vlog Series
I enjoy documenting my trips to look back on. This is just one of many travel vlogs where I try to recreate the nostalgia and what happened on the trip. The vlog below documents a trip to a famous amusement park in Korea, Lotte World!
My Filipino American Story
Another area of exploration is my identity as a Filipino American. Often times I feel are stuck between not being Filipino enough and not being American enough. Below is a video which explores these thoughts.
