Online personality Michelle Fox a.k.a. Vavaeng Marangal launched her vlogs five years ago. (so sya ba ay tunay na marangal?!) She started with her make-up transformations and eventually shared her day to day life with boyfriend Kramer Ford a.k.a. Lalakeng Marangal. (hindi Xander ha!) Producers and advertisers noticed their channel and gave them opportunities. (sa isang tv guesting ko sila nakilala ha!) Unfortunately, the pandemic affected their income. They decided to stay in their hometown in Samar for a fresh start. (pang MMK na ata ang susunod na mga pangyayari!) The couple thought of putting up a campsite. (habang yung iba, naisip ay sumabak sa pornsite!)
“Iba talaga ang hatol samin ng pandemic kaya kailangang lumavan! Mula sa naipon at katas ng pagvovlog and projects yung ininvest ko rito,” Michelle shares. (lavan si ate mo!)
They called their new found business: The Island Nature Spring, located in Blanca Aurora, San Jorge Samar. (may kalaban na yung bottled mineral water!)
“I love nature. Kaya ganitong business naisip namin. Kami mismo ni Kramer Ford ang lalong nagpapaganda ng lugar. Kami talaga yung naglalanscape at nagmamaintain. It is surrounded by seven natural mini waterfalls. May malawak na nature park. Perfect sa camping, picnic, team building, parties at photoshoots!'' Michelle explains. (magpipictorial ako dyan habang napapaligiran ng mga boylet!)
The Marangal team exerts extra efforts to make their visitors’ experience in the island enjoyable and worthwhile: “Dream talaga namin na mas makilala pa ito nang vongga, lalo na mga turista. Welcome na welcome sila rito! Marami pa kaming planong i-put up dito na dapat nila abangan. And of course, aalagaan namin mabuti ang nature para di ma-award ni mother earth!” (or ni mother ricky...reyes! idamay ba?!)
They now give most of their time to their business but vlogging will still be part of their life. (parang gusto kong maging part ng life ko si Kramer Ford. chos!)
“Tuloy paring ang vlogging as long as meron akong makabuluhang ma-uupload. Parang gusto ko na kasing magfocus sa matinong side ko. hahaha! Medyo nagsawa na akong maging gaga! Hahaha! So kung hindi nyo na ako napapanood sa youtube, you know where to find me,'' explains Michelle. (hanapin daw sya sa presinto. Chos! Sa campsite nila!)
