Hello my friends 👋 I wanted to pop on here and give you guys a quick update: one of my immediate family members had a health emergency recently while they were outside of Canada. It was a very scary couple of weeks when their health was uncertain, but very fortunately, they are in a more stable condition now! Our whole family is so so relieved!!
But as you can probably imagine, there's ongoing communications with insurance companies (omg the insurance companies... 🫠), care teams across different jurisdictions, and being the person in the family that works in healthcare, I am the point of contact for all our family members and friends. And because of all this, not only the emotional roller-coaster but also just the amount of tasks I have, I don't have much time to make Youtube videos 😭. Honestly, it's been hard to even go to my day job and I've had to take days off work :(
THE GOOD NEWS IS: I thought I'd be too sad and devastated to make any videos. But I catch myself thinking about topics I want to share with you guys, writing stories in my mind even when I'm not sitting at a computer, and realized that the idea of making more videos actually make me happy 💗 I can't wait to get back into it. This slow down has given me time to focus on creating video ideas and topics for the next year!! 📝 I'm SUPER excited on what I want to make in the next year and I think all of you will really like it! 🤩
🎄I hope you all have a healthy holiday season! Oh and if you can guess what this Christmas tree is made out of, I'd be VERY impressed 😇
Hello friends!! My newest video has been uploaded and I honestly had so much fun making this video!
I had a whole day's experience at the most traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy in Chengdu China, and tried out herbal medicine, acupuncture, and a Chinese massage. If you want to see me suffer (treated) and also get a non-judgemental overview of what Chinese medicine is ACTUALLY like, then give this a watch! I promise it's going to be fun 😆
Hi friends! The next video is going to be my BIGGEST project to date! ☺️ As a result, I am still working on editing this video...👩🏻💻 I've never handled this much footage, b-rolls, voiceovers, etc... Just organizing all the different raw footage files took me like the whole day hahahh 🫠
I also wanted to improve the scripting of this video. Instead of it feeling like just clips randomly smashed together, I want to tell a coherent story, and also make it fun and educational for you guys. So I am spending a lot of times thinking of how to put it all together.
I really REALLY want to deliver the best possible video for you guys, and I think you'll find this one really fun 😊
So no upload tomorrow, but the video should be ready for next Saturday! I'll give y'all a shout here when it's uploaded!
In a couple of weeks I’ll be going on a short trip to China (videos will still go up every Saturday 10PM PST!), the last time I went back was 7 years ago, can’t wait to try ear cleaning on the streets of Chengdu👂, walk around at night in Shanghai like it’s Night City in Cyberpunk, and cosplay like a Chinese princess like I’m in Appthecary Diaries!!!! 👸🏻
On top of this, I have so many video ideas that I will be filming in China! Don’t worry, all the videos that I normally make in my living room you guys love will stay exactly the same! It will be an exciting special that’s a lot bigger than what I normally do. I’ll also try to incorporate surprise clips in a clever way in future videos ;)
Also, let me know what other videos you guys want to see about China??
YOUTUBE GOD STRIKES AGAIN and my Apothecary Diaries episode 8 reaction has been taken down globally 😭
In these reaction videos, I always try my best to transform the original material as much as possible, adding interesting medical knowledge, Chinese history lore, and even irl filming of making recipes myself. I try not to rely too heavily on just the “reaction” parts but focus on how to bring my own twist to it. But I guess, YouTube just doesn’t like it when any anime clips are used! 🥲
But don’t worry guys, I enjoy watching this series, and I know you guys love it so I will continue to make more!! In the meantime, if you guys have any good ideas about what to do with these lost episodes, and if I do react to non-medical episodes (should I upload on Patreon? Discord?? Any other platforms out there?) I’m all ears! 👂
🔔Today's video will be up late at 10:00PM PST!!! 🕙 But worry not, here are some sneak peeks 👀 I really want you guys to guess what the video's gonna be about, I'd be REALLY shocked if you can get it right 😳😱
Also, the video will a HUGE improvement from any of the videos I've EVER done! you'll see what I mean when you watch it.
6 months ago I watched a YouTube video called "Getting Cancer Turned My Life Around" from a VTuber named GEEGA. Before then, I had no idea that she was battling cancer all these years.
As a cancer pharmacist, I immediately decided to make a video to talk about her situation. I wanted to spread awareness of cancer in young people, and also make it less of a "taboo" subject to talk about. Even though this video is 6 months late (go to my previous community posts to find out why), I am really proud of how it turned out!! If you haven't watched it yet the link is here: https://youtu.be/NGDrphszYE8
PS: I had the honour of having a conversation with @GEEGA about making this video, and she was such a lovely and generous person. Honestly a pleasure to talk to :)
✨I am back! My next video will be up Saturday July 5! ✨
👋🏻 some updates:
🏠I won’t be moving (for now at least!) 📸 bought a new filming camera and tried some new filming locations around the house (Sony ZEV-10 for anyone asking) 👩🏻💻Work is… still just work :’) 👩🏻🔬My small cancer research is going well, we have a few months of down time before things pick up again 📄AND I AM DONE MY EXAM!!!!!!!!!
Which means… I can get back into making YouTube videos 💖 I miss it so much and I honestly can’t wait to get back 🥰
🎥 On my YouTube to-do list: ✅start editing the 3 pre-filmed videos (oh and I started talking to an editor to hopefully help me out!) 🇯🇵travelled to Japan and filmed some stuff there 😉 ✅film the next new video on my new camera! (Honestly still need to figure out how the camera works…..)
I’ve been posted about my work+study adulting life, travels, and YouTube progress on my socials so feel free to check them out!
❤️ I feel so so happy and touched when big creators talk about chronic diseases 🎙️
With @CDawgVA Connor’s successful cyclethon that raised over $1mil 🚴 (AGAIN) and @IronMouseParty Ironmouse on Capitol Hill speaking to congress about immunodificiciency diseases 🏛️, these are pivotal movements that can help make the topic of chronic disease less stigmatized. People can be more willing to share their stories, and we can build a better online community to learn and connect 💞
Which is the exact reason why I started this YouTube channel in the first place 🥰
Now there are more than 20,000 of you here (HOW IS THIS EVEN REAL), that want to learn topics about illnesses and medicine through me. That want to be a part of a community built by me. I am more motivated than ever to keep growing as a healthcare professional, to keep growing my voice, and to make this community better ☺️
I know I am still on my upload break (I am just as annoyed but I promise I will be back soon 😫) but thanks to those of you that still come back to check in, or new friends that are just discovering my videos! 👋 here’s a sneak peak of me battling with a new camera setup and background:
