TRUE STORY

Today, like the many days leading up to this, I just wasn't feeling my workout. But when I came to a realization that I'm about to turn 50 this year, I said to myself, "I am not getting any younger!!!", and then I looked at my daughter like I have done many times with my first daughter Lauren as she was growing up, and then again I said, "I need to be healthy for her", and shortly after that, in 22 minutes, my workout was done! 

Too many days, we make countless excuses to not get healthy when we know that it should be the #1 thing to do. It's just way too easy to walk away from it, and pretend that we have more important things to do, and trust me, I am very guilty of this. 

Our Workout Arsenal is BOD (Beachbody on Demand) Free 14 Day Trial here!

The real truth is that nothing will be of importance if we are non-existent. Our health is the biggest investment that we can ever make in ourselves, and sometimes it just takes a little reminder like looking at your kids, and not forgetting the real reason for why we are all here. 

Today I was inspired by not only my daughters, but by my fiancé, because she just flat out called me out, but not in a way that was deemed as forceful or mean, she just smiled and said, "we need to do this, so I'll go first". She is definitely a keeper!

Another wonderful day breathing and living in the moment. I am truly blessed to be here, and I am very thankful for that. =) TRUE STORY. 

Filipino American Expat Living in the Philippines

Hi everyone, I've been wanting to share this post for awhile now, and although most of you know that I've been living in the Philippines for a little over a year now, I have really never talked about the topic of me being a Filipino American Expat (filipino born in the USA) and how I got here, so this is what this post is all about =) I'll be making a video about this soon!

NOT ANYTHING NEW

Being an expat in the Philippines is nothing new. Just google or youtube "expat living in the Philippines" and you will see countless people from the USA and Europe living and finding love in the Philippines. Just like most of these expats, they came here because the cost of living is super cheap, and for some of them, they came here to find a partner because a lot of them could not find true love at home, or unfortunately lost a loved one and just wanted to find a place to start all over, and the Philippines is among one of the best places to retire, get lost, and get more bang for your buck. Yes, the Philippines is more expat-friendly then Thailand! 

WHAT'S SO DIFFERENT ABOUT ME?

Nothing really, I think the main difference between me and the other expats that you read or follow is the fact that I am actually a filipino. Both of my parents are from the Philippines, but I was born and raised in the USA, so I really never learned about my true culture, and didn't even learn the tagalog language. I can probably understand about 80% of the tagalog language on a good day.

If you look at me, I look just like a typical filipino, but once I open my mouth, the locals know that I am a foreigner, and they sometimes ask me why I'm speaking english, and so I have to tell them that I was born in the USA blah blah blah. You see, there is not much difference between me and the other expats. 

I DID NOT COME TO THE PHILIPPINES TO FIND SOMEONE

Not all expats including myself come here to find someone, in fact, that was the last thing on my mind. When I arrived in the Philippines as an adult for the first time in 2015, I came here to explore my roots, as well as backpack other parts of Southeast Asia. I came back a few years later to work on some video projects, and as I was traveling around Asia and going back and forth to the Philippines, that's when I ran into my now fiancé. 

We have now been together for over 2 1/2 years and are raising a little girl here in the Philippines. Did I intend to live here? Nope, not at all, but that is how my life has been the past few years, nothing planned and just going with the flow, and by doing that, I now have an amazing and simple life here in the Philippines. 

THE STRUGGLES OF BEING A FILIPINO AMERICAN EXPAT

Living in the Philippines has many benefits, but that doesn't mean sh%t does not happen. Being an American, I am accustomed to certain things, and so there are things that I have had to get used to while living here. For example, the driving etiquette can get a little crazy, and if you're an expat living here, you know what Im talking about =). I mean, shouldn't the slow drivers be on the right and the fast drivers lon the left? At least that is how it is where I'm from =). Food temperatures, restrooms, customer service, and how long I have to stay in line to use the ATM are among many challenges and differences. I'll get more on this on a video soon, but as an expat, we all have to understand that we are all guests here. This is not our country, so we have to respect the people, the culture, the differences (no matter how difficult if can be) and understand that this is not the USA or the home that we came from. It is a privilege to be here, so I try my very best to remember that =) 

HOW I EARN INCOME

Like most expats, some are living off of their retirement. Some are actually working with a company from back home, some work online and have their own projects going on. I myself work online, providing digital services to clients, and also do internet/affiliate marketing. I also make videos too, and still working on monetizing this venture. People don't come to the Philippines to look for work, most expats come here and spend their income made from where they came from. 

The average income for a Filipino is about 500 php, that's only $10 USD per day, and with this pandemic going on, the amount of days they can work are cut in half or less. Most expats that come here are living off of their retirement (repeat ha ha), work for a company that is based from where they are from, or like I mentioned before, work online and get paid in US/Euros. I am not technically retired here, but you can actually retire here with a retirement visa as early as 35 years of age. With this visa, you can be a permanent resident, own a condo, and even start a business. 

BEING FILIPINO AMERICAN

I wanted to bring this back up again because like I mentioned before, I do have a little bit of an advantage in the fact that I look just like a local. I can understand about 80% of the language because I grew up hearing my parents talk. It is those two things that give me the advantage to not get ripped off as an expat or tourist here in the Philippines =) Yes, there is a local price and a tourist price =). 

But the reality is that, I am still an expat and not a local. I cannot speak the language which can be a struggle sometimes when I need to get something done, or go somewhere and my fiancé is not with me. The good thing is that most of the country is English speaking, but this is only in most metropolitan cities. If you go to many places away from the city and into the province, things can get challenging, but still doable. The one thing that you can come to expect is that the filipino people are the nicest people on earth. If they know that you are a foreigner, more than likely they will be very kind and help you. This brings me to my side of the coin, because I do not look like a foreigner, sometimes I get treated like dirt because they think that I am just like one of them, which is sad sometimes to see how the locals treat each other, I feel it as a filipino. I do see how some of the filipinos treat the foreigners as opposed to a local (it is rare, but I do see it). So in many circumstances, I sometimes expose my voice so that they can see that I am not from here. This is one small challenge as a Filipino American Expat.

The one thing that I would like to see more is people like me (Filipino American Expats) coming here and learning their own culture, and giving back to the people. It's great to see the everyday expat doing these things, and it's great for the country, but I'd like to see more filipinos helping filipinos. 

There is a huge income gap in the Philippines, for the most part, you are either rich or poor. There really isn't a middle ground. I mean there is, but not much. So when expats come to the Philippines and help the economy, it is a good thing. (Most filipinos think that if you are a foreigner that you have money, because in their eyes, if you have more than them, you must be rich). 

You rarely hear or see Filipino Americans coming here to live and help the community like the other expats, or it's just not as known, or glamorized on youtube. My goal isn't really to change this, but I would like to hopefully encourage more filipinos and filipino americans/filipino europeans to join the goodness that these other expats are doing in the Philippines. I am definitely proud to be a Filipino, and also very proud to be an American, but the bottom line is that I am rooted as a Filipino, and I feel that this is where I belong, and I would love to see more Filipino American Expats here. 

The funny thing is that the western expats want to come to the east, but the people in the east prefer to go to the west. We as humans always want something different. This isn't always the case, but this is what I have seen and heard from the locals here. Everyone just wants to have a better life, and the expats coming here are seen as an opportunity for a better future. We as expats come here for a different life than our own western culture, and so this is the amazing thing about the Philippines, the country as a whole are very welcoming to foreigners. 

I will say that I am lucky to find a partner who loves her own country, and doesn't see me as a way out, and that was my main thing. I knew that this was going on in the Philippines where women are on the constant prowl to find a foreigner, and I didn't want to be seen as an OPPORTUNITY. Luckily, my partner and I prefer living in the Philippines. 

LAST WORDS

The Philippines is currently my new home, and although I cannot foretell the future, I only see this place as where I need and want to be. Although I am a world traveler (and love to see places) and American born, the Philippines will always be my fortress. Stay tuned for more Filipino American Expat Life videos to come =) 

THIS IS BUHI CAMARINES SUR

So I know that I haven't posted in awhile, but guys I assure you that I have been mega busy with some really exciting projects, and ramping up my fitness back to where it once was =)

At any rate, I had some spare time to put a quick video of Buhi Camarines Sur in Bicol Philippines. This is the place where my fiancé and my daughter Penelope was born. This place is absolutely amazing, and gives you an idea of how the real Philippines is really like....simple, with traditions still passed down from family to family.

Some of my latest projects have been documenting the distribution

of school supplies on video from friends in the USA to the kids in the Philippines

Would you like to donate school supplies? Message me!

If there was a place for me to build a home, I would like to build one here, and maybe one day this will happen. I just hope that the internet gets better because that is one downfall to the place for people like me who work online to make a living. Anyways, I just wanted to share this video with you, enjoy! =)

Life in Cavite Philippines during the pandemic is going on almost 4 months now, and although the positive is that we are able to spend some really quality family time together, we are missing our travel adventures. It would be nice to be able to explore more of the Philippines right now, but at the moment, it is not recommended that we leave our own province, so we are staying put and just being safe. What we do have a lot of time to do is swimming. I purchased a portable pool a couple months ago, and it has been a blessing! And being in the Philippines, it can get really hot, even inside our home! So here's another quick video of us swimming and just enjoying our family time during the pandemic. Btw, our baby Pippa has been learning how to swim on her own, it's so awesome to see her dive and do things that you don't see a typical one year old to do in a pool. She may be a swimmer or surfer in the future, lets see what the future holds for her =)

My TO DO LIST Post-Lockdown

I remember one of the first things that I learned about GOAL SETTING was, "If you don't write it down, there is a slim chance that it will happen", hence the purpose for this post! =) Have you heard of this? Do you agree?

Currently based in the Philippines, we have been on a mandatory lockdown since March 14th, I can't believe that it's been that long! I totally understand the premise behind the strict rules, and if it can keep my family safe, I will most definitely listen to the EXPERTS! With that aside, I also feel that things are piling up on my TO DO LIST, and with my personality-type being very "picky" and organized, I am just getting a bit ance. =)

With that being said, I've already been thinking about all the things that need to be done post-lockdown. Some of the details on the list are things that have been delayed due to the Coronavirus Outbreak, so I'll be starting with those things first. Do you think it's a good idea to create a list for this sort of thing? =) Have you already done this?

Free Trial for the Netflix of Fitness - Start your Fitness Journey today!

I posted a quick list on my facebook page about a week ago, so this is just a more detailed version. Hope you don't get too bored! Here goes:

1.  Extend my Visa - According to the Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines, all foreign nationals (like me) who were here when the lockdown started and could not leave, all fines and penalties will be waived granted that you are qualified within the said dates during the lockdown. Anyways, I have 30 days after they have lifted the lockdown to pay for my visa extension for a few months (Since April). After 30 days, fines and penalties will be implemented.

2.  Visit Bicol Philippines - After I have taken care of my Visa Extension fees, I will be going to Bicol Philippines. As most of you know, this is where my fiancé Arlene and our daughter Penelope is from. We plan to visit and make sure that Arlene's family is ok. Another reason is to help Arlene's niece prepare for high school. She normally walks to her elementary school, but her high school is much further, and from my understanding, her father is not in a place where he is able to pay for the transport costs to her school on a weekly basis. Arlene and I decided that we will purchase a bicycle for her, as well as take on the responsibility of helping her with some transport costs when biking to school is not an option due to weather etc. I would like to add that Arlene's niece is super smart, and it would be a waste if she is not able to further her education. There are a lot of children in the Philippines in this situation whereas the parents cannot afford their education and the costs that come with it, so the kids end up quitting school and working for pennies. The children go on and never reach their full potential and live in poverty for the rest of their lives, its a vicious cycle. Now I know that I cannot help everyone, but I also know that everyone can help one person, and this is how making an impact works. I see a lot of potential in Arlene's niece, and hope my decisions will ultimately help her family with a better future.

3.  Go back to the USA - Since the lockdown the economy has gone to crap. People have been struggling, businesses have gone bankrupt, and unfortunately many people have died. Almost everyone has been affected one way or the other due to this Coronavirus Outbreak, including myself. My purpose for going back to the USA is first, see my family, and secondly, work on some projects that I have missed due to the lockdown. I won't go into detail on my projects but most will be video projects. I plan to spend roughly a little over a month in the USA before heading back to the Philippines.

Get EVERYTHING you need to start your Fitness Journey TODAY!

4.  OCRTUBE.com - This basically is connected with my trip to the USA, but since the lockdown, I have missed many global opportunities for filming video projects for my OCRTUBE.com initiative. There have been many companies that I've worked with who have cancelled a lot of their events in 2020 because of this crisis, so the goal is to reconnect with some of the companies and see what I can do to help them get back on their feet with my video production services. This is a scary part for me as most of these events bring together masses of people together which would be impossible to follow any form of social distancing, so I will have to play this by ear, and take only projects that I feel is safe for me and my family. I may have to focus on one-on-one projects such as single athlete documentaries etc. for the time being.

5.  New Youtube Channel - I won't go into specifics on this one, but I have been in the works of a new and EXCITING youtube channel that will focus on travel exploration and giving back (two things that have been a huge priority since day one). Some of you know about my other channel "Lagalag Mafia", which focuses on my family stuff. Yes, I will continue uploading on that channel but it will not be as active on a weekly basis. The Lagalag Mafia channel was always more of a personal channel, so this new channel will be more business-focused, and not specific to my family endeavors (although my family will be with me anyways). Videos on this new channel will be uploaded multiple times per week. I plan to spend most of my time post-lockdown building this channel, so this will be my biggest project in 2020. More to come =)

My main Camera I use

6.  Arlene and Baby Pippa - Another huge priority is to start working on the paperwork to eventually bring my fiancé and daughter Penelope (we call her Pippa) to the USA. The main reason for this is for Arlene to meet the rest of my family, and for my family to finally meet Baby Pippa. But the biggest and most exciting part about all of this is to have a family reunion with two of my daughters (Lauren and Penelope) together (for the FIRST TIME) along with Arlene and I. This will be like a DREAM COME TRUE for me. This will definitely be the HIGHLIGHT of the year, and the time when you will see me really cry like a baby!

7.  Help One Person Per Month Start an Online Business - Although this is nothing new to me since I've been doing this for over 10 years now, I plan to continue doing this as a way of giving back, but on the NEXT LEVEL.  Not everyone can handle the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur, so I plan to really focus on only the serious people who qualify to a certain criteria that I have created. The reality is, I am very busy as is everyone else. My family is my number one, so I would like to spend as much time with them as possible, which means that if someone is just BS'ing me about wanting to become an entrepreneur, but not willing to do the work, it's just a huge waste of time for me. I have accumulated a lot of wisdom and online business strategies during the years, so I would like to help others get out of the rut that I was once in. If you are reading this, and you would like a new fresh start without all the BS, then feel free to message me, and let's test the waters! Join my inner-circle, message me directly here.

8.  Stay healthy - This is easier said than done. We all would like to be happy, healthy and fit, but it does take some effort. And with the wrong people in your life, this will be even more of a struggle. It has always been about surrounding myself with the right people who support my vision, so with that....I have created a number of online groups for me to stay even more connected with like-minded people like me. You know what they say, "You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with". These are the people who will shape your future. How do you keep it simple? I recommend spending time with people who are smarter than you, have more money than you, people who challenge you and only want the best for you. This is a big part of my life, as if I am not challenged, I cannot get better. Do you agree? Would you like to be more happy, more healthy, and have more financial success? Me too! =)

Our Quarantine Life

Yes, I miss.....or I should say, "WE" all miss going outdoors and visit friends and family. It's been well over a month since the lockdown was implemented in the Philippines. And while other places around the world, and even where I am from in Pensacola, FL, are re-opening public areas, I just feel that it is way too early. I mean, I'm not an expert or anything, but what the "THEY", the experts are saying that, it is way too early to re-open. It's one of those things where you want it to end, but at the same time we ask, "is it safe?"

Going to the Supermarket

We've been living really simple life during the lockdown which hasn't been any different than how we are used to living. The only difference is that we are not going out to the supermarket together, instead of it is just me. For me, the one good benefit of all this is that we're saving a lot of money by not going out every single day =).

Bored during lockdown? Take some Online Courses and stay ahead!

Anyways, I put together some clips of our home life which depicts how simple our lives really are. I haven't really picked up my camera other than to do just that, random shots of my family. I hope that all of you are being safe, and hope to see you all soon! =)

Our Quarantine Life in Cavite, Philippines

Feel free to watch more videos here =) 

The one thing that I hope that people have learned during this crisis is the importance of family and health. It's good to see more and more of my friends get more serious about their health and fitness. We all know that the key to a longer life, is about staying healthy. Although being healthy and fit will not protect you from a Coronavirus, there are studies that show that people who maintain and healthy lifestyle have a bigger chance to win against it.

Become a Freelancer - Make Money Online Today!

Since I am hunkered down at home during this Coronavirus Outbreak, I thought that I would share some of the ways that I am able to work online and become a freelancer of digital products.

I've been working remotely for over 9 years now, and the question that I get from a lot of people is....how can I start? Well, it isn't that easy.

I started doing side hustles when I was working 3 traditional jobs and putting in about a 100 hours per week. I thought to myself, this isn't fun LOL. I went on a european backpacking trip many years ago, and my goal was always to find a way to work online so that I can travel for as long as I wanted. Being location dependent wasn't for me, so I worked hard to find things to do to make money online. Are you tired of doing the same thing, don't feel like your career is going anywhere, need extra money to make ends meet? This is how I felt, and I'm sure that there are many people who feel this way now, how about you?

The one thing that I like about being a freelancer (Digital Nomad), is the freedom to work anywhere around the world as long as I have an internet connection. And if I want to take a break from travel, I have the opportunity to hunker down at home, which is what Im doing now during this coronavirus pandemic! =)

THING TO KNOW: It's not easy becoming a Freelancer or Entrepreneur. It is based on your performance. If you don't hustle, you will not get paid. But there are things like residual income, basically money that you make even when you're sleeping. It's possible, but you have to work to make that happen. Do you have what it takes to work hard for 2-5 years, to have time freedom for the rest of your life? Most people don't, but if you're one of the OTHER people who likes to set goals, and really crush them, then you can join the 2-5% population who is successful doing this.

You don't have to be part of the 2% to be a freelancer though, we're talking about a 6-7 figure residual entrepreneur, so don't get your hopes down, you can do this! =) Some of these people start with being a part-time freelancer like I did, and end up being really successful entrepreneurs, so it can happen!

I am currently based in the Philippines raising a family and working my freelance business. I try to stay home as much as I can, but sometimes I will be hired to do a film project and that's when, and how I travel these days, all expensed paid which is nice. That's the thing with online freelancing, some or all of your travel can be paid for! And who wouldn't want a free vacation!! =)

SO WHAT DO I DO?

I will give you guys somewhat of an idea on some of the things that I do. You can give some of them a try, or all of them. Keep in mind, most of these things will take some time, I recommend implementing some of these options based on what you enjoy doing. What I mean by this is, make sure that you are doing something that makes you happy, and not just because you can make money.

Yes, money is good. It pays the bills. It can help you buy things, but it can't buy you happiness in the long run. So start thinking about what you love, and find things that you can do to turn that passion into a business.

ONLINE COURSES:

I love watching youtube videos and documentaries on Netflix, it always sparks my creative side especially the fact that I have a small video media business. Yes, you can learn a lot from youtube, but I recommend that you take some online courses because they are structured and takes you step by step. I mean you can spend months surfing from video to video on youtube, when it can take a day or two to learn it with a certified online course like on Fiverr. Browsing youtube can waste a lot of your time, so taking an online course will help you become more productive, which in turn will help you make money faster.

A lot of these online freelance courses are hosted by people who are freelancers and entrepreneurs themselves. So what better way to learn from the people who are actually doing it!

I take a lot of online courses that help me learn about selling online, promoting digital products, social media marketing, and storytelling. Remember, this post is about being an online freelancer, so it just make sense to learn about how you can be successful with digital products and services.

There are a lot of places to learn: Udemy, Masterclass, Skillshare etc. This is where I take a lot of my online courses because its very affordable and you can learn at your own pace. I use the Fiverr Learning Platform, check it out here!

I am also a member of Fiverr and sell some digital products there for extra income, it's like the Amazon of Digital Products and Services, it's awesome! Not a member yet, click here and start buying and selling digital products, a great way to start a side hustle as an online freelancer.

Join Fiverr and Start a Side Hustle as an Online Freelancer!

AFFILIATE MARKETING:

Now this is what I love. For those of you who are not familiar with affiliate marketing, its quite simple. All you really do is promote or share products from the companies that you love, and make commissions. You can get cash back deals, to commissions per sale, all the way up to a whopping 6-7 figure residual income. All you do is promote, and they handle everything else for you! 

Remember, it's all about doing what you love. So I recommend that you find a company that you love, and then find out if they have a referral or affiliate program. Once you are set up as an affiliate (it can be free up to a small nominal fee), you can start sharing and earning 24/7. 

These are some of the top companies who I am working with as an affiliate. 

- Team Beachbody, because I've used their products for years, and I love being healthy and active. I love their digital streaming workout platform. This is the NETFLIX of fitness! With this affiliation, you can earn 25% commissions, and up to $200+ bonus commissions, and more. I've been a TBB affiliate and online coach for 9 years, and this is by far my favorite online business to date =)

YOUTUBE:

This is such a powerful online tool. You can share and make a video about anything. Some people think that you can make a lot of money with the ads on your video, but that is far from the truth. In order to be a Youtube Partner, there are strict qualifications. One of them being that you must have over 1,000 subscribers! I currently have about 4,700 subscribers on my youtube channel, and even though I still receive checks from google, they are not very big at all, only good for a nice meal, or a cheap one way ticket somewhere =)

I'm here to tell you that you can still earn from a youtube channel with far fewer subscribers than that. By using the links from your affiliate programs and companies that you work with, you can earn commissions from your video. For example, lets say you make a video about your workout, you can say something like, "oh btw, my workout shorts are from so and so, if you like them, i will put the link below in the video description", and if people like it and purchase from your link, you will get paid. If you are a videographer, you can showcase your talent on youtube as your online portfolio. Simply send your future clients to your page and if they like what they see, they can hire you for a video project. I have been hired by adventure companies, hotels, athletes, celebrities, corporations, non-profits etc all to do video projects for them. Your video may only have 100 views, but if someone hires you for a video project, you can earn $100, 500, or thousands depending on the project. You see where this is going? =)  You can check out my OCR youtube here.

So I think that's a lot to share and help you get started for now. Of course there is a lot to learn about online freelancing. There is so much opportunity! Remember, always do something that you enjoy, and don't make it all about making money. Your happiness comes first, and when people see that you are happy, and you are passionate about what you do, you will have more opportunity to get paid for doing what you love =)

Although there are other ways that Freelancers earn, I just wanted to share with you some of the things that I do to make money online, I hope it helps or sparks a little interest in you to start a side hustle that can one day change your life! 

If you do not know where to start, I would begin with taking some online courses here. And you can always connect with me, and I can assist you as well. Let's work together, looking forward to it! =)
