A 31-Day "Face The Camera" Streak: Throwback & 2026 Plans

A fruitful and Happy New Year to anyone reading this! We made it to Year 2026, congratulations!

I've shared a lot and enough about 2025 but for the very last time and my own way of ushering the new year in good spirit, I want to share one more thing I've been holding off until now because I needed to complete it no matter what.

A 31-Day "Face The Camera" Streak I started on the 1st of December 2025. Before that day, I didn't think I'd be able to even start than to complete it but here I am today looking back to it with a sense of pride and gratitude, I really did it.

What inspired making these videos was simply to groom myself in facing the camera doing more than just singing. Anyone who knows me know how easily I can sing to the camera, well, it's totally different for me when I have to talk to it.

So the video above is a compilation of all the videos I made through from 1st - 31st of the last month of the year. There were days I wanted to let it go, since I didn't have anyone who'd hold me accountable for missing a day but I didn't let go.

On my last video of the month, I didn't just talk a little, I sang a song of gratitude acknowledging that God has indeed held us together all year even when some things failed. It's one of my favorite gratitude song through out year 2025.

What do I plan to do with this streak in this new year? To be honest, I have no idea but I recently gained a new skill that might require me exploring more of using the camera and saying the things I know and I'm sure of that I can do.

I believe with my experience facing the camera, it's not as hard as I had first thought it to be even though most of what I said were on mute. I shared how my day went, told stories and mumbled words to myself, I can do a lot better.

One of my major 2026 plan using this completed streak challenge is to do more video content of me, not just singing but saying words that would impact the listeners. I'm not sure how I'll go about it yet but it's definitely a plan to succeed in.

I'd have asked for rating on my videos but I think there's no need, just providing evidence that I did finish all day of the month facing the camera for over 1 minute on each video. It was a feat that I'm glad I did completed. I got encouraged too.

P.S: This post was supposed to be published last throwback Thursday (New Year's Day) but I couldn't meet up to get it posted so here it is.
