"The World As I See It" by Angkol Rider

 As of this writing, my  YouTube channel already has a solid 12,610 total subscribers! I am deeply humbled by this turnout. Just to be clear I am not yet monetized by YouTube but I am getting there that's for sure. Photo for inspiration only. As you can see, I'm struggling to get more public watch hours. There's a chance that if I make more videos the more chances of being viewed. Bottom-line is I still have a long way to go and I got to work double time and work on my niche. However, there's light amidst all this struggle. I see that I get more views in YouTube shorts. Actually 76.1% chose to view my YouTube shorts videos against those who swiped away. So what does this tell me? I engaged with 19k new viewers as of August 25, 2023. Meaning, my YouTube channel was discovered by these viewers for the first time in a selected period.

Welcome to the Christian world, Salem Nexus Martuña August 27, 2023. Today I attended the baptism of Nexus, my friend Amboy's bundle of joy, held at St. Joseph The Worker Parish in Sasa, Davao City.

A Godparent's main duty and responsibility is to bring the " inaanak " closer to God as he is grows up.

Today is a beautiful Saturday! This serves as my first official post. I am not really into writing stuff but I think I will get the hang of it. Blogging would be another platform to showcase my experiences and thoughts in travelling, moto features, food, people, places among other stuff. Today I would like to talk about immersing myself in the digital arena. I'm 47 years old and I must admit I came in late to get acquainted with social media. Time has changed indeed and I am excited about what the future has in store for me. I started motovlogging a couple of years back. Although my YouTube channel was established back in 2016 I really don't know how to go about it. It was during the pandemic that I got hooked into vlogging. And I find it fun and challenging creatively. I decided to put up this blogging site mainly because Google AdSense required me to have one.
