Ponsyana said vlogging also allowed her to fulfill her dream of becoming an actress. “Pangarap ko talaga mag-artista (It was truly my dream to become an actress),” she said.

It was not an easy journey, though, as she disclosed having to stop making content in 2021.

“Nanstop ak kasi ed saman kasi singa anggapoy consistent income hindi pa kasi ako monetize nun (I stopped vlogging because I have no steady income as I could not yet monetize my content at that time),” she said.

She looked for another job and got one as an office secretary. Her passion for creating online content and acting, however, was just too strong.

“Last year, September anunutan ko manvlog ak lalamet ta singa makapamiss manvlog. Agko inaasahan na unpatok tuloy tuloy la (In September last year, I did another vlog because I really missed vlogging. I did not expect that it would be a hit and it would continue),” she said.

“Adiscover koy voice over nen kyen la. Panunto na kwela so voice over unaan singa akulaw anggad inanap kon inanap. Mairap talaga three years san aka monetize (I discovered voice-over later on. I also experiment­ed with my voice, at first, I sounded like an old woman until I finally found the voice I would use. It was difficult as it took me three years before I was monetized).”

And though people already recognize her on the street and ask for a photo with her, Ponsayana said she also has her own share of bashers.

“More bashers, more income since sila nagpapataa­s views and ang nagdidefen­d na sa akin ay yong mga solid followers ko (More bashers, more income because they increase my views and my solid followers are there to defend me),” she added.

So, what’s next for the funny vlogger of Pangasinan?

“Anggad natan panaaralan ko ni. Say goal ko maka-100,000 followers ayan taon (I am learning the craft. My goal this year is to have 100,000 followers),” she added.
