My Video Was Taken Down

Image
 If you read my Community Tab on my YouTube channel , I made a post talking about a video that was taken down. I wasn't planning on bringing it up since it wasn't one of my most viewed videos -- hell, it had less than 300 views...I think like 248? However, I saw PewDiePie's video about Totally Not Mark 's channel getting slapped in the face by Toei Entertainment -- resulting in 150 of his videos getting taken down -- I thought I'd share my experience. ✨Before I get started✨  I still plan on making my " How I Make Money as a Reaction Channel " video, and this story will be in there, but I wanted to get this out now rather than bring it up in a video later. The video was me reacting to and talking about Christina Aguilera's " What a Girl Wants " live from 2000 in South Korea. What happened was I uploaded it to schedule it to go out as a "thank you" for hitting 10k subscribers (a number I still can't wrap my head around) and immed...

Top Christmas Albums | Under $10 on Amazon!

Image
In no particular order, here are some of my favorite Christmas albums by some of my favorite artists -- AND they are all $10 or LESS! ☕Buy Me a Coffee [help support the channel & blog]  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/OMGitsWhitney   Tony Bennett's " Snowfall " -- This was originally released originally in 1968 , and was re-released in 1994 with new cover art (photo to the left is the original artwork) and a bonus track of " I'll Be Home for Christmas ". It was reissued a third time in 2007 with different cover art along with a bonus DVD with video clips from his Holiday Special from 1992 -- Tony Bennett: A Family Christmas .  You can find this on Amazon for as low as $2 (used) or about $5 (new). Perry Como is pretty underrated when it comes to the crooners of the 1950s when compared to someone like Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin. I love all of his Christmas albums, but this one, in particular, has all classic Christmas songs (so the title " The Class...

Holiday Gift Ideas 2021 [Part 1]

Image
Finding presents for the same people year after year seems to just get harder and harder every year. With services like Amazon and other sites that offer fast delivery at convenient prices, many people are able to just be the "buy what I want when I wanna buy it" kind of people. However, just in case, here are some services the person I'm sure we all have in our family could benefit from for this Christmas. 📣This blog is not sponsored 📣However some links are affiliate links or gain me some sort of commission if clicked upon. For the avid reader in your family, I recommend getting them Kindle Unlimited . I'm personally not a huge reader -- I’m an Audible girl -- but plenty of my friends are and have this service. Currently, Kindle is offering $0.99 for the first three months to new KU customers -- then goes up to $9.99 per month. I may not be a huge reader, but I do listen to a ton of music and actually use Amazon Music . They are offering the first three months for...

Why I Quit Walgreens -- My Experience

Image
Why I Quit Walgreens ☕Buy Me a Coffee [help support the channel & blog] https://www.buymeacoffee.com/OMGitsWhitney Ever thought about becoming a Pharmacy Technician? It's a great job -- stressful at times, but a really good job if you're wanting to get into healthcare. HOWEVER, there are things about some major retail pharmacies (Walgreens, CVS, Walmart to name a few) that have some issues and this is my personal experience working for Walgreens from 2008-2011 and the events that led to me quitting and almost abandoning my Pharmacy Technician license -- I actually let it lapse and was within the window to renew it without having to retake the State Test. I'd like to preface this video that not ALL Walgreens operate like this. I still have friends who work for them, and some are pretty high up, and they are nice people and actually care about their employees.

“Is Secret Sister a Scam??” — “YES!!!”

Image
Just a friendly reminder from your friendly #antiMLM/anti-scam spokesperson:  ☕Buy Me a Coffee [help support the channel & blog] https://www.buymeacoffee.com/OMGitsWhitney The Secret Sister Gift Exchange thing that makes the rounds every year is a pyramid scheme/scam (and ILLEGAL) and you shouldn’t participate in them. -- according to the BBB, and me. ⚪️https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/11/12/secret-sister-gift-exchange-scam-better-business-bureau-warns/6265662002/ 🟢CC Suarez's video regarding the Secret Sister Gift Exchange: https://youtu.be/9MmOP4MEIMk  …and your friend’s #MLM “business” may be looking for recruits saying it’s a “business opportunity” to become a “boss babe” under the guise of financial freedom -- just in time for the holidays. ...how convenient. <insert eye roll here> MLM is short for multilevel marketing. They also call it “network marketing”, "referral marketing" or “direct sales”.  Look for verbiage like “work from wifi”, “...

I finally got around to reacting to this dude! He's AWESOME. Nonoy...I doubt you'll see this, but PLEASE release for jazz standards...my ears would greatly appreciate it.  

Katrina Velarde Week -- August 2021

Image
Of course, I couldn't have a month of themed weeks without Katrina Velarde -- like I mentioned in my post of Morissette Week, Katrina comes in a close second with the most requests. Some of these were ones that have been requested from day one of her reacting to her and others were ones that spiked my curiosity. ☕Buy Me a Coffee [help support the channel & blog] https://www.buymeacoffee.com/OMGitsWhitney  

Adele | "Easy On Me" [Reaction]

Image
SHE'S BAAAAAAAACK! This video was originally blocked...I disputed the claim -- cause it falls under fair use -- and it was unblocked within a day (yet is still in dispute? that's a new one for me). I hardly ever react to something so mainstream as soon as it comes out but from time to time I make an exception...like when Adele releases new music for the first time in 5 years. Haha.  

Morissette Week -- August 2021

Image
Do you know who my most requested artist from the Philippines is? If you answered Morissette Amon, you'd be correct. I've had more requests for her than anyone else on my channel -- Katrina Velarde comes in at a close second. I will probably have to have a Morissette Week once a month just to get to them all! August if you haven't noticed, was theme month... each week had it's own artist theme. It did pretty well on my channel and may keep it a thing as soon as I get back into uploading.

Whitney Houston Week -- August 2021

Image
Back in August, for the week of the 9th (which is Whitney's birthday) I decided to have Whitney Houston week. I have been a Whitney Houston fan since I was a kid -- hello, I born in the 80s so of course I loved her! I had many requests for Whitney covers, so I just decided to dedicate a week to her -- with one performance from Whitney Houston gracing my YouTube channel for the first time. I've had more requests for other actual Whitney performances, so I hope to get those up soon...but for now, enjoy these reactions to primarily Whitney Houston covers featuring Morissette, Elaine Duran, Gabriel Henrique and for the first time on my channel Erik Santos.

Let's Play Catch Up Shall We?

 So, I haven't had that much time to write this year...even though this year is over half way over. Sorry. I really don't know how many people read this blog, if any, but it's still a good outlet for me to write out what I've been thinking about, going through, and all around think about things in life and the world. At the end of this year -- literally at 9:47PM on New Year's Eve -- I found out I was pregnant and will be having our second kiddo (another girl) at the end of August. This pregnancy has been ...different would be an understatement... however "hard" sounds like I'm being dramatic. I've been more sick this time around, and in more pain than I was with my first one. I ended up not being able to film for my YouTube channel because I was so sick and my energy level was at a zero. I'm finally in my last month and I can't wait until it's over.  I finished my Associates Degree this past May. So I'm going to be taking at least ...
