This vlog is super personal to me because it was my first ever Southeast Asian Games—and honestly, it was such a humbling experience. I’m taking you with me to Hanoi, Vietnam for SEA Games 2021 as I represent the Philippines in finswimming. It’s one of those moments where you feel equal parts proud, nervous, and overwhelmed, because it’s not just “a trip”—it’s carrying your country with you. In this video, I share what really happened during my road to SEA Games: the people I met, the lessons I learned, and how the whole experience pushed me in ways I didn’t expect. I’m also linking the livestream credits used in the vlog so you can see parts of the competition coverage too. If you’re curious about what it’s like to compete internationally for the first time, or you just want a real, reflective behind-the-scenes kind of vlog, this is that.
