Tiktok content creator and bird mom Yumi, on March 4, recalled her TikTok journey and how it led to her love life.
During the media conference for SKY Fiber’s Swak Na Swak Media Launch, Yumi said she started her career as a content creator in 2018 while browsing apps to download.
“Way back 2018 ‘yun, nag i-iscroll ako sa app store, parang bored ako nun. Parang wala akong magawa sa life ko. Tapos sabi ko ‘ano kayang bago na app?’ Tapos nakita ko ‘yung TikTok, ay ang cute may parang note na ganon.
“Sabi ko, ‘ang cute naman nun, tignan ko nga ‘yun.’ So noong na-download ko siya, pagka-download ko, nagulat ako. Pwede pa lang mag-share ng short videos na 15 seconds. Sabi ko ‘ay pwede, may potential!’ Ayun try ko nga, trip ko lang gumawa ng content.”
She then hinted at how her TikTok rant led to her finding love through the social media platform.
“Nagra-rant ako nun sa TikTok, tapos ‘ayun ‘yung nag-viral ko na vid. Ayun ‘yun. Nakahanap ako ng swak na Oppa.”
Yumi admitted that she felt shocked by her success on TikTok.
“Normal lang siya, para lang akong nag-uupdates sa friends ko tapos non, pinopost ko lang siya online na ina-update ko lang ‘yung mga followers ko. And hindi ko na lang din ine-expect na sa mall na biglang ‘Uy, si Yumi. Ay it’s Yumi.’ Nagugulat na lang din ako na may nanonood din pala sa akin.”
The TikTok content creator shared how she makes her posts through her daily life as a bird mom and recent trends on social media.
“It started lang talaga sa mga hobbies ko. Sa mga wholesome content ko. And then napag-isip-isip ko na gawan na siya ng ganon. So it’s easy for me, kasi ‘yung lang naman ‘yung ginagawa ko. ‘Yung sa daily life ko pinapakita ko lang naman siya TikTok mga ganon. Tsaka ‘yung mga bagong trends sinusundan ko siya.”
To date, Yumi has four million followers on TikTok, with one of her posts reaching up to 18 Million views.
