I used the same Youtube channel profile picture since I started my channel 4.5 years ago. I finally decided to change my profile picture! This is how it started in my amazing studio a.k.a bedroom #BTSMagic

Headed back to the motherland after many years away! It's bitter sweet given the circumstances.

Also editing a new vlog, it's something different and it should be fun.

For everyone patiently waiting for the content to drop, I appreciate YOU and your patience.

The first match that we were able to watch live was Japan vs Germany! The atmosphere was electrifying...and because we were supporting Japan, a Japanese spectator gave us these awesome bandanas!

Vamos Nippon!

I uploaded my first video on this YouTube channel on 12th September 2021, as of this post I am 3 days late to celebrate the channel anniversary, however as the old saying goes, "...better late than never!"

41 videos, 543 subscribers and hundreds of video production hours later, I am even more grateful for all the positive, encouraging comments and support! You know who you are... Thank you!
After a bit of a health scare in August and some time off YouTube, I have finally back to uploading again!
