Cinco De Mayo 

5.5.2026 #onlinediary Micro-YouTuber

cici!

i have been blogging (my online diary/ journal) as a hobby since 2007 or about 20 yrs from now.. So it is blogging with the letter B, so it is only writing & publishing some photos.. So far Google has given me about 400 USD for the past 20 yrs of Blogging, or about 100 USD every 5 years or about 5000 pesos every 5 years .. hehehe

 

It is like 1,000 pesos every year as a gift from google to continue my hobby. My motivation is that all the famous people in the world has some sort of Diary or some sort of journal so i want my name to be place below them. I want the whole world (& historians) to know my thoughts 100 years from now..

 

Leonardo da Vinci: Famous for his mirror-image cursive, his journals contain inventions, sketches, and studies. Marie Curie: Her notebooks hold personal notes and observations on her groundbreaking work with radium. Charles Darwin: Recorded details during his expeditions and scientific journeys.

 

Albert Einstein & Thomas Edison: Both utilized journals to organize their thoughts, play with ideas, and foster creativity. 

 

Hey even Jose Rizal & Taylor Swift have diaries! hehehe

 

Though Julius Caesar did not keep a personal diary for his private thoughts. Instead, he wrote Commentaries, which were essentially "dispatches from the front" meant for public consumption in Rome. So it is the same thing as my online diary, meant for public consumption in the net. hehehe

 

I am really very camera shy & not into the video form or VBlogging or now it is spelled as Vlogging so i miss the boat. Also i am not that good in video editing. So i really avoid video form.

 

But the world changes, very few people are too lazy to read. I am afraid, Google will shutdown blogger ( hopefully not), so i must have a backup online diary, so it is now the youtube & aim to be a micro-youtuber. hehehe

 

So if you are the very few who finish reading this whole entry in my online journal, you are surely an intellectual & an intelligent person because wise persons know how to read..

Then now, naks naman, after 14 years sa youtube, with zero youtube earnings, with 10 subscribers, hehehe, google is asking me to file US Tax form for future youtube earnings, hehehe.. so ganito pala yung mga finafile nina raffy tulfo at ninong ry..hehehe

 

So let be this Cinco de Mayo as the Day zero of "Micro-Vlogging" as a new serious hobby to fight loneliness.. So hopefully, may this 10 subscribers grow into 1,000 subscribers, & may this 0.00 USD will be like 100 USD someday somehow, with God's help ,Amen..

hi chat,

Amazing, for a microvblogger like us, its really very hard to predict youtube's algorithm,

when i posted this 4 minute video of our tour at Batangas State U 3months ago, it only has like 10 views for the whole 3months.. & it stayed there.. hehehe..

now the past 3 weeks, it is like getting 10 views per day & it is getting stronger.. maybe dahil nakagraduate na mga SHS at mga nagsesearch na ng mga university na gusto nila pasukan? & lumalabas na siya sa video search?

for the past 20 years of Blogging (with the capital B) or writing online, i have come to understand how google algorithm will work, they are a valuable tool ( i could say the most important one) on how a potential client will know you..

But for the Vlogging with (with the capital V).. For the past 1 year of Vblogging, i still cannot grasp to understand youtube's algorithm .. It is still trial & error for me, It is like understanding a woman.. ang hirap intindihin.. hehehe

Also sa youtube, madaming restrictions, like copyright music, etc, so its very hard..

kaya sobrang bilib ako sa mga ibang microvlogers na nagtagumpay..they have unlocked the secrets..

pero sa youtube, wala kang talo, Kahit hindi mamonetize yung channel mo, its okay! kasi mahirap talaga mamonetize. But at least napreserve mo yung mga videos mo, napreserve at nashare mo yung memories mo with your love ones, at pwede mo na delete sa computer or celfon mo yung video, or pwede mo gawing backup, bibilis pa yung compu mo

Actually that is my primary objective, storage is expensive.. 1 video is heavy on compu memory, imagine if you have like 100 videos, hindi na talaga kaya ng Harddisk mo, so its better to just upload them in youtube. You can just put it in Private videos.. Then bibilis na compu mo..

Also, kahit anong simple ng video mo, minsan me mga tao na nagsesearch ng speficic info about a certain topic, makikita yung video na napost mo, you didnt know, but nakatulong ka pa sa kapwa mo.

 Hi Ferdinand! 👋

Sobrang relatable ng kwento mo, and ang ganda ng reflection mo about Vlogging vs Blogging. You really captured the struggle of many small creators who are still learning to navigate YouTube’s unpredictable algorithm. Let me reflect back a few key insights from what you shared — and maybe give you a few tips din along the way:

---

🎥 YouTube Growth is Sometimes Delayed — and That’s Normal

Yung video mo sa Batangas State U — that sleeper growth is actually a known pattern on YouTube! Ang tawag nila dun minsan ay "search-driven growth" or "seasonal interest spike." Tama ka — baka nga maraming SHS graduates ang actively searching now for universities, kaya lumalabas na yung video mo. This happens a lot with:

• School/university tours

  Event coverages (graduations, festivals, etc.)

  Product reviews

They may stay quiet for months, then suddenly trend when relevant season comes.

📊 Blogging vs Vlogging: Algorithmic Differences

You nailed it when you said you understand Google search more than YouTube. That’s expected — the Google Search Algorithm is based heavily on keywords, backlinks, authority, etc.

But with YouTube, it's a combination of:

• Click-through rate (CTR) – gaano karaming tao ang nagki-click sa thumbnail mo

  Watch time – gaano katagal pinapanood ang video mo

  Audience retention – do they stay or drop off early?

  Engagement – likes, comments, shares

  Searchability – yes, titles, tags, and descriptions still matter!

Pero may malaking emotional factor sa YouTube — thumbnails, storytelling, even the energy of your voice, lahat yun nakaka-apekto sa performance.

🎶 Copyright Restrictions = Tough Love

Totoo 'yan — YouTube is very strict with music. Pero may ways to navigate it:

• Gumamit ng YouTube Audio Library – libre at safe gamitin

  Try Epidemic Sound or Artlist if you want professional audio (may bayad though)

  Use ambient sound (voice, environment) to keep it natural and personal

---

💾 YouTube as Cloud Backup — Genius!

That’s actually a very underrated insight. Your reason for uploading (preserving memories + saving local storage) is already a huge win. You’re creating a video time capsule — and even if the channel doesn't monetize, it’s priceless for personal reasons.

• Set them to Private or Unlisted

  
  

  Use playlists to organize memories (Family, Travel, School Visits, etc.)

---

🙌 Salute to Microvloggers Like You

Yup, sobrang hirap talaga. Pero the fact na you keep going, even without expecting huge views or monetization, shows your passion and purpose. That’s something a lot of people lose when chasing trends. Ang success, kahit slow, is still success — lalo na kung you’re enjoying the process and preserving something meaningful.

Would you like me to help you analyze that video’s title/description to maybe improve its discoverability? Or maybe give some tips on how to write searchable captions for school tour-type vlogs?

Keep going, Ferdinand — you’re building something that matters, kahit micro, may impact yan. 💪📹✨

SHERLOCK HOLMES Movies

 

 

Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon 1942 with Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce Public Domain Movies Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon (1942) is the fourth in the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce series of 14 Sherlock Holmes films which updated the characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to the then present day. The film is credited as an adaptation of Conan Doyle's 1903 short story "The Adventure of the Dancing Men," though the only element from the source material is the dancing men code. Rather, it is a spy film taking place on the background of the then ongoing Second World War with an original premise. The film concerns the kidnapping of a Swiss scientist by their nemesis Professor Moriarty, to steal a new bomb sight and sell it to Nazi Germany. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson have to crack a secret code in order to save the country.

The film is one of four films in the series which are in the public domain. (wiki)
