Hey guys!

It's been awhile I know =). Just wanted to update you on some things. I am currently revamping my blog, which I will simply call my online journal

So many things have changed since my last post almost 3 years ago! I am still currently based in the Philippines, and yes, still a full time content creator managing several online social media channels. My family YouTube channel "Lagalag Fam" is still up, and this is where I normally post our family stuff. I can't promise you any good content on there as we are just uploading videos there for memories. If you visit my instabio link, you can see our other social media channels relating to family. I do not post my work-related content as they are mostly no-face YouTube channels. 

There is one thing that has changed though. The online fitness company that I worked with since 2011 changed their structure. Here are a few updates on that. The name Beachbody is now "BODI". I am not currently a partner, but I am now an affiliate which means that yes, you can still ask me questions about their products and services, as I still proudly use their amazing products. I also still currently run an online group which can be found on the native fitness app that we have, so if you would like to join me there, and get some accountability, just send me a message for the link to join

Although I am in the Philippines, I do still travel especially back and forth to the USA. 

My project OCRTUBE is currently on the back burner since the pandemic unfortunately. I have seen a drastic change in the growth of obstacle racing (a huge down curve), and although I still love the sport dearly, it just seems like the OCR companies are not profitable as they used to be, but to be honest, that was the issue even back when I was fully committed with my OCR video projects, there was really never any money to be made. Most of my OCR projects were pro-bono, but it was ok because I was just having fun. Just FYI, I traveled to over 40 countries and provided free to very budget-friendly video production services to many companies, and it was such a great experience, but things have changed, and I have a family now, so the goals are a bit different =) These days, most people at the OCR events have very affordable cameras and smartphones that can shoot very good 4K video, so this has left me without work in the industry. For the time being, I plan to film the sport just for the sheer love of it, kinda like how it was back in the early days. I will also try to get into filming HYROX, and DEKA events soon, we'll see what happens! 

Anyways, those are some quick updates! Right now I am just focused on my work and investments, but most of all, being just a good DAD. Oh, and yes, I am in a very happy relationship too =) We are over 7 years together now, but most of you who have watched our youtube channel already know this. 





On another note, I have fallen off the wagon with my fitness (AGAIN), so that is another thing that I plan to share with you all....... my journey back to where I was before, to get back to living the healthy lifestyle. Work has been good, just took away from my health and fitness goals. Yes, I know....excuses =) 

It's good to be back!
