Think Positive!!!

Hey guys!

It's been a long time since I've posted, I'm so sorry. Life has been great though! This summer Matt and I are both taking advancement classes (kind of something like that) and I'm focusing on math. It's hard to do worksheets everyday but I'm trying to improve my time management. Also, I got this planner from mum that's super amazing and I've been using it since February. It really keeps my life in order. It's called the Design Your Life planner. Now I'm stretching a lot more (as in daily) and writing entries in my journal. I love quotes. Like inspirational or motivational quotes. It keeps me going and makes me think of positive thoughts. That's why I write my most favorite down in my notebooks. I think you guys should also have like a favorite quote.😁 Here are some of mine:

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you'll land among the stars."-Anonymous

"The world is full of monsters with friendly faces and angels full of scars."-Anonymous

 "Always be positive when the sun is up and the stars are shining."-Kayelle (That's me!)

"Strong heart. Fierce mind. Brave spirit."

Well, hope you guys got some inspiration! Bye!!

Always be true to your heart💜🌌

The Best Stores to visit for Journal Lovers/Stationary Lovers in Manila!!!!!!!

Hey everyone!

I know this might be different from my usual posts, but I super love these places and I really wanted to share it with you guys! BTW if you want more stationary/journal posts then tell me in the comments section!!! (These stores are not in order)

1. Hey Kessy-UP Town Center

I absolutely love this store! I saw this place in UP Town Center but I'm not sure if there are still more branches. Anyways, the first thing I wanted was the washi tapes. There were so many cute designs you could choose from! I also bought stickers which were super nice. I got 2 galaxy-inspired stickers and 1 inspired from deep down under the ocean. (though they were kinda pricey)  I also saw different kinds of pens, markers, calligraphy pens, and so much more. My mom bought different kinds of yarn because she crotches, and  we display her doughnuts, ice creams and other masterpieces in my room.

2.Stockroom-UP Town Center

OMG this place is also super nice. They sell  cute notebooks, toys, games, (Like Toilet Trouble) mugs, clocks, pens, and I also saw a predict ball but a book instead of a ball. It's like you ask the book something, then you open the book at a random page. And then there's your answer. I also bought a super cute unicorn mug from Stockroom that says, "I don't believe in humans." It's my favorite mug now.

3.Common Room-Quezon City

Common Room has so many cool stuff. I'm telling you, you should visit this place sometime. This place is where my dad bought me a super cute yet simple unicorn bracelet. (One thing you should know about me is that I love unicorns)  Common Room also sells plushies, and they're all different familiar characters! Some are from The Greatest Showman, while you can find Hermione from Harry Potter. I also saw cute stickers, potted plants, maps, and that's unfortunately all I remember.

4.National Book Store-ANYWHERE

This store is very famous in the Philippines and this is where I normally get my books and stationary stuff. 

5.Fully Booked-ANYWHERE

Like National Book Store, this place sells lots of books but ones that you can't find at National Book Store. This is probably the book store I suggest you should check out.

6.Typo-UP Town Mall, (different from UP Town Center) etc.

Typo is SUPER COOL. They sell lots of notebooks, bags, headphones, bottles, phone cases, and lots more. Also, I think UP Town Mall is not the only Typo branch that exists.

7. Papemelroti-ANYWHERE

 This store is  very unique because the notebook pages are all recycled and they sell a lot more like quoted coin cans, tiny wallets, notepads, etc.

8.Biblio-UP Town Center and Ayala Feliz (The ones I've seen so far)

This place is sells 2nd hand books, and you might think it might not be nice, but lots of them are still in good condition. Plus, the books are sold for a very cheap price! Of course, they also sell stationary- like stuff or else this wouldn't even be in the list (Hahahah) and I saw a lot of cute finds.

Thanks for reading!!! Hope this was super helpful!

10 Tips on How to Start a Youtube Channel

Hey guys!
If you want to start a youtube channel and earn money (Or just have fun😀) then this entry is for you!!!

There are lots of people who start channels but don't get recognized. These tips will make it a lot more easier! But if you followed ALL of these and still don't have more than a thousand subbies, don't get discouraged!!! It takes time for people to be noticed.😊😊😊

1. EQUIPMENT
This is very important in vlogging. Of course, if you're just starting out, you don't need to buy a super expensive camera. You can start out with your own phone but it has to be HD so your videos can attract people better.

Here are the things you need:

Camera
Charger
Memory card
Tripod
Editor app
Microphone

Again, you don't necessarily need everything in this list, but it WILL help if you get everything. For the meantime, start with your smartphone. And once you at least have more than 1000 subs, start getting serious on your equipment.😉

2. DECIDE WHAT KIND OF CHANNEL YOU WANT
Maybe you want to do dance covers, vlog, or probably do D.I.Y.S, its your choice. Remember, do what you love. And don't try to be some other famous youtuber. Just be yourself.☺

Tip:Start with one topic for your channel. You might wonder why, but it's because if someone subscribes to you because of a cooking video you posted, (example) and then the next video you post about video games, your subbie might unsubscribe you because they expected another video about cooking. But if you're already famous, then you can do as much as you like!!!


3.CHOOSE THUMBNAILS THAT WILL INTEREST PEOPLE TO CLICK ON YOUR VIDEO
But please don't try clickbait. People will probably be upset that the thumbnail they saw was not even in the video.


4. MAKE A SCHEDULE
Example, from Monday to Friday make a video,
On Saturday edit the video, and on Sunday post the video. This will make subscribers know when to check your channel for new videos. Also, stick to your schedule, if you change it, some subs might not be too happy...

5.MAKE A GOOD DESCRIPTION FOR YOUR VIDEO
It depends on what YOU want to say but you could add "Please don't forget to subscribe to my channel and click the like button!" You could also put a link to your channel. Another tip is if example you made a makeup tutorial video, you could add links to the websites where you bought the makeup you used.


6. YOUR INTRO
You have to talk about the main concept of what's going to happen in the video. Again, you could  say please subscribe and like! And you could give shout outs. Remember, your intro has to be a minimum of 15 seconds long or even shorter, so the people who are watching won't get bored and won't press another video.

7. ANNOTATIONS
You could put annotations on the last part of your video but make sure the video is already finished. Example, your still talking and the annotation pops up and blocks you. It's much better to put annotations after the last clip and just use a nice background.😉

8.MAKE COLLABORATIONS
This will get people's attention on you and your videos if the collab is with someone popular. Also, you could both say the names of your channels so if people are watching from the other person's channel or yours, they'll most likely check both channels.


9.MUSIC
If you want to add music, (if it's copyrighted) then you can ask permission from the company of the song. But if you just want to add background music that is not copyrighted, Youtube has songs that are okay to use!

10.HAVE FUN!!!
This is very important in becoming a succesful youtuber such as myself. Just joking!!! I do have a channel but with no videos.😁😁😁 Anyway, enough about me. Just have fun and always be optimistic!!!


These are the 10 tips for making a Youtube channel. Hope it's super helpful!!!

K-pop Madness!!!

Entry #4 I made back in 2018...

Hey everyone!!!

Today I'm learning Love U from Chung Ha and Killing Me from IKON. If you don't know them, check out  their music videos or dance practices!!! Actually, I'm learning it also because I'm going to be dancing at a birthday party! Yay! My first big break! Just joking. It's nothing big really. I'm just really happy I get to dance in front of a crowd and to experience it! It's in two weeks, and I'm trying to finish it fast.

BTW I'm making a new hobby for myself called bullet journaling. I love it so much! My only problem is that I not that ''artistic" and I make so much mistakes. If you guys want me to teach you bullet journaling, then sure! But I'm just a beginner... Hehehehehe. Then maybe I can teach you guys something I DO know. Dancing? Modeling? Crafting? D.I.Y.s?  or maybe I'll make my own YT channel!!! I'll tell you later about my plans...

My Moral

Entry #3 I made back in 2018...


Me and my family are going to travel to another country. We did a lot of shopping, and packing bags. Sometimes I imagine what it's like to be there. When I go to other places for vacation, I think that place is special and beautiful, but for some of the people who live there, they think it's normal and boring. Where I'm sitting down right now, in my house, in my country, I think my surroundings are not something special, or amazing. So, we all have to appreciate where we are now, and stop wanting things we don't have.

Practicing, Practicing and Practicing...

Entry #2 I made back in 2018...

   Hello! It's me again. Today was fine. I practiced my hip hop dance because I'm joining a dance class. This one's advanced and hard. But I know I can do it because I really love dancing. And I hope I'm doing great. My dream is to be a k-pop star when I'm older, and that's why I'm joining. I actually am already setting goals. I'm also doing vocal warm-ups too. I hope all of you guys are also setting goals for your future dreams. Bye!

My Social Play

Entry #1 I made back in 2018...


I have a Social play happening next week at Friday. Surprisingly, I was chosen as the leader and that made me very nervous. I didn't know any leadership skills or how to talk to people with motivation and things like that. I like being quiet and alone after all. My topic is Jose Rizal's execution. I was making the script, and my classmates would bring the props. And the script is soooooo hard to make because it has to be Filipino. True, I understand it but I can't speak very well so this will be a tough challenge. 

As I was researching online, I found so many interesting facts about the topic. One was that he got married to Josephine Bracken on his execution day itself from 5:00 AM to 6:00 AM. Cool, right? Truthfully, I hated social before because of all the memorizing of dates and all that but after reasearching more about Rizal's history, I became extremely interested. Well, I have to continue making the script. Bye!!!

Change of Plans

Hey everyone! I know too soon to do another blog but I've got some news! Our coach is sick, so we won't go to dance class anymore.😢

Dance Day!

Hey everyone!!!😀😀😀

Today Matt and I are going to dance class. Matt's just doing a walk-in. But if he wants to continue, then my parents will enroll him.

 I'm eating noodles right now, only noodles because we don't have any rice.😅 We also bought Pandesal, but I don't like Pandesal that much. I know! I'm weird. Also, I don't like ketchup or mayonnaise. No offense!!!😅 Anyways, super excited for today!

Summer's gone

We went to Iloilo for our vacation a few months ago.It was really nice and relaxing to stay there. But summer's almost over and it's time to learn again! I feel a little excited for school because I want to learn and read. I love reading. I read different stories when I'm bored. I also love dancing, singing, acting, and writing stories. I make up stories and write them down but somehow I never get to finish them. I have this one story about a family who goes on vacation and always gets unlucky but in the end, everyone's happy. I'm not done finishing it yet. Anyway, a while ago Matt and I were playing a game. He's downstairs watching TV right now. He's probably eating snacks too.

 So it's going to be school time again for the rest of the year then it's christmas. Then summer again! I'm not going to be sad because of the hard things I will be encountering, I'll  just be happy whenever or wherever I am. And you too!!! 


Bye! 

A haircut would be nice!

I wonder when me and Matt would get a haircut. We couldn't yesterday because daddy had a really bad headache. And it was getting worse. 

My hair is way past my shoulders. Daddy layered it a few months ago. And it began to grow longer and longer. My brother Matt, needs a haircut too. But I'm not sure if we could do it today because daddy is picking up mommy from her office.

Meanwhile, Matt was eating his cereal since no one wanted to eat it. From time to time, he comes in the room and looks at what I'm doing.

Then he called daddy to ask him if he could watch TV. After his brief conversation with daddy, he walked downstairs and turned it on. I could just hear the sounds from down below.

Just a minute later, he came back up and told me, "There's a new episode of Haunted Tales!" Then he went back downstairs. I went down a short while later and sat on the couch.

After that, I went back upstairs while Matt was watching another show.

Maybe later on I would ask daddy for a simple haircut!

New Year

New year has come,
to our hearts desire
the people gather, ready to celebrate,
on December 31st, midnight,
fireworks crack and boom,
the people eat,visitors come and go,
the whole family watches, then sleeps,
but still hears the raging fireworks from faraway,
even their neighbors still sing, their voices in the air,
Oh, how new year never ends.



-HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

The Little Truth

Hello! I wanted to say that my dad has been writing these stories about me since I was young. As you can see, he is a VERY good writer. But when I tell him, he always doesn't believe me. Hee hee! And right now, this is her daughter writing this story. I'm now 9 years old. Hard to believe, right? 

I want to do blogs because telling stories is my passion. Also fashion designing. I'd do both of them often, but sometimes I fail. Dad tells me to reach for my dreams. To do whatever it takes to be whatever I want to be. And that's why I'm already here.

Today in school we practiced for our family day. And as always, I join glee club. I join because I LOVE singing. I usually sing some songs by myself in the shower!

Glee club comes after we sing Lupang Hinirang for family day. So we stand, put our right hands to our chests, and sing our National Anthem. Right after, glee club goes to the middle and sings a Christmas song about Jesus. 

And this year we were taught to dance while singing. I like the dance, I just hope our parents like it too! The rest of the dances looked interesting. But my favorite is the finale dance!

After all of this, it will be our Christmas party, then Christmas break! I'm so excited!

I hope everyone will be excited for Christmas too. I just want to say...

                         Merry Christmas!!!

A Writer's Slumber

It's been four years since I last made an entry here. I'm all grown up now. I go to school, watch TV, poke around with the laptop, and jump on beds with my little brother. Yes I have a little playmate now, his name is Matthew. I still call him "baby matt" even though he's just turned two. He doesn't speak much understandable english yet, mostly just babbles and makes bird-like noises. It's funny how I get jealous of him so easily especially when it comes to grabbing mum and dad's attention. There are times I get irritated by him, buy don't get me wrong, I love him dearly. '

I hope to be able to add more life stories from now on, because we can't risk losing all those memories. They're all too important to forget.

This is another beginning. I hope to finally wake up from this deep slumber.

Angel Me

When I grow up I want to be an angel.

Yesterday we went to the Gateway Mall. Mommy was so excited, I had no idea why. When we reached the place we were supposed to go to, we passed a lot of people who kept smiling down at me. While being pushed on a stroller, I can only get a good look at people's faces whom we passed by, and my daddy's playful manner of peeking at me from time to time. Upon arriving at our destination, my stomach started grumbling for milk. The temperature in the area was fairly cold, and so my eyes got droopy as I finished up the remains in my milk bottle. When Mommy picked me up from where I lay, I couldn't find Daddy anywhere. Mommy led me into a messed up room full of lightings and props. At first I was laid down on my stomach. At 3 months, I know I should have no problem carrying my head, but I just can't keep at it for too long. While this lady was taking pictures of me, I could sense that she was feeling uncomfortable with the way I carried myself up. The flashes of light were coming at me one after another too fast, as I was pondering whether the ground was soft enough to cushion my head if I let it drop. Next thing I knew I was laying sideways facing this lady who kept trying to make me smile while taking pictures of me. Mommy seemed also intent on getting my attention. And then I saw Daddy. He was quiet the whole time. Just smiling and looking interested. He had this knowing look about me, as though he was expecting me to act the way I did. Mommy on the other hand was all smiles trying her best to get me to smile too. I just had no clue what everybody was up to.

When the photo shoot was over I was led back to the lobby. Grandma was surprisingly there waiting for us. She seemed so happy to see me. It was about after several minutes of hanging out in the lobby when I heard Daddy and Mommy talking about a picture taken of me that was really pretty. It was I heard a portrait of an angel. I couldn't be more excited to see that photograph after having heard their conversation as Daddy wheeled me out of the lobby.

When I grow up... I want to be an angel!

A Happy Little Me

I am now officially 3 months and a day old! I was surprised to see Mommy and Daddy arrive yesterday carrying a box of what seemed to be a delectable choice of grown-up food. A Red Ribbon Triple Chocolate Cake Delight. Yep! It's the thought that counts!

Mommy was so giddy on taking pictures of us. She was the one who placed the candles on my cake. They were by the way a pink, a blue, and a yellow. Daddy called them magic candles. When he lighted them up, the candles' flames were glittered with sparks. Daddy gasped when he found out. He obviously had no idea why he called them Magic Candles. hee.

I was asleep when they both kind of woke me up for the celebration. Still groggy from sleep, I managed to keep them giggling with excitement probably thinking I can blow off the candle lights at my age. Sure enough, I didn't even give it a try. And when Mommy huffed and puffed and blew the flames with all her might, they were put out! But only for a second. Immediately the flames rose again. Daddy and Mommy huffed and puffed until all the excitement turned into panic. The flames just kept coming back no matter what. Daddy had to pull out the candles while Mommy continuously blew on them because they were so close to touching the cake already if they weren't removed. For some reason the candles fell into a deep sleep right after that. I guess that's why they call 'em Magic Candles.

Before they led me away from my cake because they were about to consume it, I had a quick glance on what was written. It said, "Happy 3rd Month Leila! Love, Mommy and Daddy"

Counting Sunsets

I chirped and twittered
Please take me away
Breeze over the Thames
Fly by the Alps

Sing me a song
Laugh with the birds
Take me to Athens
Show me the world

Tell me your name
Grant me a smile
Count me the sunsets
Stay for a while

Shatter my senses
Teach me to shiver
Help them remember
Love me forever

Indisposed

I feel bad for Mommy. She's obviously not feeling well. ( I think she's having a mild case of the flu.. ) Mommy's always saying she shouldn't be kissing me and keep carrying me around because I might catch whatever she's got. I'm thinking she may have gotten it from me! I fell sick and was feverish in just over a week ago, with my temperature shooting up to 37.8 degrees! And then I was coughing now and then after that. Mommy could have been infected. She's already started coughing last night. I overheard her saying she doesn't feel like working today, but she still went off with Daddy. Poor Mommy, I wish I didn't have to infect her with anything so she can still have fun and smile a lot. I hope she's okay wherever she is right now. I hope she gets well really soon.

My Upcoming Baptism

I had a blast on my weekend. Not only did I have Mommy and Daddy for myself, I actually had visitors! Well, two people would count as visitors won't they? One of 'em was my Uncle Russel who always finds it funny when he tickles me all over. When I grow up, I'll have him tied to a chair and tickle him myself till he gags laughing. Talk about thoughts of cruelty at a young age. I was just kidding.. I guess he can make it up to me by simply bringing along his famous spaghetti concoction whenever he visits. AND a whole bunch of new clothes and PC games!

Tagging along with him was a handsome twentyish guy sporting a funny goatee right under his lower lip. Daddy said I can start calling him Ninong Jhon, for he was signed up as one of my Godfathers on my upcoming Christening. He'll probably swear that whoever brings harm to his Goddaughter shall sleep with the fish. Mommy actually took home some pretty dresses she wants me to wear on that fateful day. I so much love 'em as she does. Can't wait to try them on but only after they have been machine washed to get rid of the formaldehyde ( that which prevents mildew in clothes shipped a long way) and excess dye. I had recently recovered from a terrible rash. Mr. Doctor says it could be an allergic reaction to some allergen. I may have picked up my allergies from Daddy who has a lot of 'em. Daddy says allergies are a result of a hypersensitive immune system. He says certain protein molecules could have triggered my allergic symptoms. I wonder why he doesn't get a nosebleed whenever I speak baby to him..

I'm looking forward to my Baptism. Grandma says I'll be a soldier for Jesus. I wonder what that means..

Night and Day

I am now able to distinguish between night and day. Night is when the world seems to fall back in contemplation about the colors and images and sounds that were so amazingly vivid and beautiful during the day. Night is when Mommy and Daddy are not around to play and pick me up and shower me with kisses and pinches everywhere. (I'm missing them...) Night is when I somehow choose not to make cooing sounds and gurgles so as not to wake anybody up. Coz I've noticed people always tend to copy me as if they were just learning to talk. Or speak a new language. Night is when my favorite colors are somewhere else in the planet. Night is when I find it more comfortable napping after each routine feeding. (yep, they're noticeably routine) Night is when little angels are there to watch me and keep me safe from the bogeyman. Nights are when I can wish upon a handful of twinkling lights outside my window, be it stars or city lights, whichever is plenty. Nights give me something to be thankful for: how lucky I am to have such loving parents, and for the bright sunny day that has been.

Despite the setbacks, I love it at nighttime. I just wish Mommy and Daddy are always here. I wonder where they could be... One thing I'm sure about is that they definitely miss me too, because whenever I wake up in the morning, I would find myself snuggled in their arms amidst the kisses. I can't wait for nighttime. By then I can wish upon the night lights for my Mommy and Daddy to know how much I love them sooo dearly. Amen.
