Niche

Hey! I signed up as a Content Creator in YouTube for about a year now, but I've been editing and shooting videos ever since I fell in love with it few years back. I used to edit videos for projects in college and some church presentation. 

I learned more about vlogging a year after I learned about Blogging and I think it was last year when Vlogging became huge here in the Philippines. I don't want to sound pretty conceited but I publish my own Vlog a year after I started Blogging. That's in 2010.

It is called "My first Vlog" on my "sebajisoka" channel and it's very silly and I'm with one of my best pal in college, McLean. 

Years passed by, I discovered Matthew Santoro, he publish FACTS videos. I became interested with the nuggets of information that he shares. Later on, I found out about his vlogs on his 2nd channel. He vlogs daily at a time and I watch it all the time. Then, 2 years ago, I started vlogging more frequently. It's on private because you know, confidence issue. 

Now, I wanted to create something. I want to start a channel that focus on something. For now, we have Jassiee and Jay Bucket List. And it's all about our adventures and achieving bucket list. 

We're on our way to risking tons of everything and hopefully it will turn out great! :)

2018 Goals

So, I was browsing my subscription box in YouTube and I stumbled upon this video about a year-end recap that ends with a reminder to thank God for the highs and the lows of the past year and expect more from Him this year. (Which makes me think my plans this year)

Here are my goals for 2018!

Read more books 

- I bought couple of books in the past years that I haven't read yet but I'll start with these two bad boys by Judah Smith. 

Learn more about the art of Photography 

- Photography is fun, all those ISO, aperture and shutter speeds. Need to learn those and be a better picture-taker. (and Videotake. hahaha)  :D 

Publish more Blogs and Vlogs! 

- I've been inconsistent with my Blogs, I'll make sure to get out of this slumping and publish meaningful articles. And yeah, the Content Creator thing, I'm ready to check boxes on #TheBucketList. #JassieeAndJay 

Serve God!

- I'm praying to go back to the ministry. Will I be in multimedia or music team's bassist or writer or wherever He leads me. It's definitely a journey and that God will unveil the destination soon.

MOMENT OF A DAY IN A YEAR:

This "Day" is quite different, emotions stirred up as I stir my morning Coffee + Milo mix.  It's a cold day to start with lot of emotion on my back. Walking through the streets holding my heart tight and having decisions mushed all over the sidewalk. I know that He has a plan, but I can't see it for now. 

There are challenges as I ate lunch, it's hard to cook and it's uncooked to be honest, I sway all over it and tried my best. I realized that this is the the food that I wanted. It's raw and not on my favorite list. 

Being a friend to someone I almost hated is quite good. You'll notice a different point of view, realizing that we can make things better in many ways. As I went to this coffee shop for merienda, I'm amazed that I'm not that emotional anymore, and there are lots of blessing around me, as we go along this day, I saw opportunities and dreams that I can start, so we did, it's slow but I know that this is going to be great. 

Upon dinner, God made everything special. I know I had lots of failure but hey. Decisions had been made and He make beauty for ashes. *1 difficult-handshake-with-Jesus-because-He's-that-cool.

But they cried out all together, saying, "Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas!"Luke 23:18

EL Nido + Puerto Princesa

I recently fell in love with travelling, when I say recently, it's like 2 years ago. 

It's a get away from the stress in life.

Yes, we have some stressful moments when travelling, from packaging to shopping for pasalubong.

I've been to several places in my humble 25 years but never I have been on a plane to go to other provinces or other country. 

This year, I break some records, together with my lifetime best friend, Jassiee. We went to Palawan. 

See our vlogs here:

While travelling, I'm amazed with the fact that we're floating in the air. That there's no hard ground under us. I'm not riding the bus anymore. There's no underneath in this place. It's just air. It's just the sky and the actual ground is far down below.

Another thing is, when we're in El Nido. We jumped into this boat. We're floating again, this time, in water. In the ocean, on top of water and the ground, actual ground is nowhere to be seen, but sure, it's down below. 

If you grew up in Manila. You'' wonder how this El Nido came to happen. This is a paradise. The views are great, the water is clear. And it's more than just Instagram-worthy scenery. If you haven't been to El Nido, I'm not sure what you guys are waiting for.

Then, we went to my long time bucket list item, Puerto Princesa Underground River.

Mixed emotions, I'm afraid, I'm excited.

I'm afraid because it's pretty dark in the area. There are bats. We don't know how deep the river is and we're riding a small boat.

I'm excited because this is one of the 7 Wonders of the world. One of the tourist destination in the Philippines. This is historical. And it is one of those wonderful creation without the touch of human being.

All over the place

I know, I know, That it's been awhile since I wrote you something. But here goes nothing. 
I'll be honest, I'm still puzzled with the thought of having you.
I feel "Pogi" when I'm with you
Totoo nga yung kanta ni Kuya Jano.
"Ako na yata ang pinamagandang lalake sa mundo sa piling mo"
Pagdi kasi tayo magkasama, feeling ko pangalawa lang ako. HAHAHAHA! 

We've been through alot. A lot of happiness. Di naman tayo nag-aaway mashado (Except sa pagkain ko ng napakahealthy food. So, don't me. Buffet is life)
Lesser payong away because I already have my own payong
I appreciate all of this bebs, I know that you know it.
It pushes me to change 'cause I know someone cared for me. 
Dati kasi, okay lang maulanan. 
Ngayon, bawal na. 
Though, dadalawin mo ko pagmay sakit ako, so I'm on a win-win scenario. 

I do love you, so much, Jasmin. 
I've seeing your other characteristics na - the good and the bad.
and I'm part of that bad club.
And I hope that you are too.

cause I'm badly in love with you
And I hope that you are too.

Thanks for cheering me up when I wanted to give up
Thanks for being there when there's no one around
Thanks for listening to my never-ending rants

Sometimes I get annoyed and I apologize for that
Some of them are unintentional
yes, I've said it, SOME of THEM are UNINTENTIONAL.
Probably, mostly, Intentional.

Then, transition into the serious cheesy part because that's how it should be

Wala akong talento sa pagsulat ng tula para bigyan ka ng 100 nito.
o awiting handang ihandog sa'yo
Handa naman akong maging saging ng puso mo
Dahil nakamulat man ang mata o nakapikit,
Alam kong, kita kita.

At kahit malayo ang mga bituin,
I love you to the stars and back.
