00:00 But Ninong Ry, before you became Ninong Ry,
00:05 your parents knew you,
00:07 you are Ryan Morales Reyes,
00:10 who sells in the market until you became a content creator.
00:15 Yes, that's right.
00:16 How did all of this happen?
00:18 I was a head chef in a restaurant,
00:22 maybe from until 2019.
00:26 It was 2019, I resigned from the restaurant because I couldn't take the stress and pressure.
00:33 A few months later, my father passed away.
00:35 When my father died, no one else would take over the family business,
00:41 the chicken business in the market,
00:44 but me.
00:46 I sold in the market,
00:49 and I was happy because I knew everyone who sold in the market.
00:52 I knew all of them, all the vendors there.
00:55 They were happy that I was there.
00:58 My mother was also in the family business.
01:00 Then, not long after, the pandemic came.
01:04 COVID-19 came.
01:06 As an essential worker, because we are food,
01:09 we can operate.
01:11 But it's hard because there are a lot of people in the market,
01:14 and we know that we will eventually get infected.
01:16 That's how it happened.
01:17 We were infected with a person who made us close.
01:20 After that,
01:22 you need to work overnight.
01:25 You work from morning to night,
01:27 and you suddenly have no purpose for the day after.
01:30 You have no work.
01:32 Yes, it's hard.
01:33 So, I was looking for a way to refocus my focus and energy.
01:38 I wanted to learn something new.
01:39 I was just playing around,
01:41 thinking that the test results would be quick.
01:45 But it took a long time.
01:46 I was bored.
01:47 I didn't know if I had a job,
01:49 if I brought my illness home,
01:51 if I had a business to return to,
01:53 what would happen to us.
01:55 So, I made content creation.
01:59 I said, "All in."
02:01 I'll pour it here.
02:02 I'll pour it here so I won't have to think.
02:04 I'll shoot all day, edit all night.
02:07 Rinse and repeat.
02:08 Rinse and repeat so I won't have anxiety.
02:11 Because it's scary.
02:12 We're here now.
02:14 We're really here.
02:16 Yes.
