Belle Mariano Vlogger Era - Belle'sYouTube Channel

Wish Unlocked: It is in every Bubblies and Solids’ wish list-for Belle to have her own YouTube channel and have vlogs for all of us to get to know her more. There have been hints of these since June 3 as fans say her first Vlog will be about the party thrown by fans and that the tag, Belle and Beyond, we saw on her Insta when she posted vids of her bday photo shoot with Ms. Shaira Luna on her actual birthdate was in fact the original YouTube channel’s name. It would have been a good one as it is catchy because it is in fact an alliteration (a figure of speech where words used have the same beginning sound). Since Belle will also show us things beyond the work we see on screen like some BTS, it really would have been an apt name for her YouTube channel. Alas, the planets did not align for this one! When she announced it in her Kumu Live, Bubblies and Solids were searching for it in a sec, and some got redirected to someone else’s YouTube channel.

Somebody had beaten her to the draw for the name. Some supporters have posted that discovery in Twitter and even commented about it during her Kumu live. The YouTube channel is now simply Belle Mariano. Here are some of those who sounded the alarm:

And I was wondering if there are other words that start with the letter B. Belle in Bloom, perhaps?

Updates: No matter what the name, surely, Bubblies and Solids are so excited for this development. This early, Belle announced that the first vlog will premier by July 2 at 8 pm and updates would be every Saturday thereafter. She has some content ready as of this writing and would focus on behind the scenes. This is good news as we will learn more about her day and her routine. Maybe we can learn a thing or two from her, as well. We are really excited especially for one collab with a YouTube channel that has been inactive for close to a year as of this writing.

Wondering Minds: Who is the first subscriber? When she showed her phone with her YouTube channel, it showed one subscriber already prior to the announcement. Dare we make a guess? Well, some Bubblies already have.

We also noticed that the Tink emoji is in. Here are some Tweets that took note of the Tinkerbelle emoji as part of her About page:

Supportive Friends: Esnyr was ever supportive in his Livestream that Kumu uploaded on Twitter. We are also excited for collabs that could come our way soon, and Robi Domingo already commented on her Insta announcement, asking when they will do one together. He seems excited, too. The post we really wanted to see was of course, Donny's IG story with a simple that says "Subscribe =)"

Keep on Clicking: A Bubbly noticed that it got 20k subscriber in a night and noted that it was 1/5 (one-fifth) of a hundred. Someone, however, said Belle’s channel had 20.3K subscribers in three hours as noted in this Tweet. At that rate, it can have a 100K in five days. One account is hoping for 100k subs subs before her first posts.

If you want to monitor the number of subscribers for her channel, here is a real time counter: https://livecounts.io/youtube-live-subscriber-counter/UCSPLNtPpIQ6UT_ASLYNJPUg as shared on Twitter.

That hope has not come to fruition, but nevertheless, it now hit 100k subscribers in less than two weeks- on the 8^th day since the intro vid. She earned the silver button just like that.

Poser Alert:

Within the day it was announced, they noticed someone copied her layout, used her pic, and even the intro. DB Engagement Patrol announced a warning. . At one point, a Bubbly noted that the poser has more subscriber than the original.

Intro Vid: By June 30, Belle drops her introductory video, mostly reels of her pictorial with Shaira Luna for her birthday pictorial where she wore black and white clothes with a very fierce vibe. And the vid was just the welcome we need to her YouTube channel that would try to help us see her beyond her roles. The look in her pictorial is a far cry from her mostly colorful outfits in her stage prods or her Metro shoots. It is definitely trying to tell us that the vlog will try to show us the sides to Belle we have not seen despite growing up in the public eye.

Some Bits and Pieces: True to being her first vlog episode, she made one about her firsts to get to know her better. She talked about how she got into “Goin Bulilit” without technically auditioning but simply being asked to do one part and being called back week after week to shoot. She must have impressed Direk Bobot for this to happen. Direk Bobot might have known that she has a lot of promise. She reveals that being a mainstay of GB is a dream come true since she is a big fan of Barney and wanted to be a part of something like that. Her first magazine feature is for a Star Magic Catalogue done at an early age. She does not even remember the exact age. The first time she realized she had a following was when she got her own Twitter, and people are complimenting her on her performance. Her first out of the country trip, on the other hand, was with her “Goin Bulilit” family; they shot some scenes in Malaysia. Her first serye was Lorenzo’s Time. She was paired with Zaijian Jaranilla. She could not remember her first movie, her first lead role in one is the prequel “Four Sisters Before a Wedding” playing the youngest daughter, Gabbie. She does not remember her first purchase with her own money. It could probably be food or her tablet/cell phone or it is possible that the answer is all of the above. She also talked about her first injury when she got hit by a gate being closed by a friend. In short, the gate closed in on her resulting in being stitched and in having a Harry Potter scar. It is hardly seen on most times, but this is not the first time she talked about it on cam. She did reveal that she has one while watching kilig moments of “He’s Into Her” Season 1 with Donny. She said her scar was so visible because of the high resolution of the Samsung Flip phone (watch that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQvceIOWKIUwatch at 4:04). On her day off, she wants to sleep and catch up with family and friends, and on her reading. Her first love team was Zajian for a teleserye and Harvey for “Goin’ Bulilit”. In the part about the first things she would like to say to herself, she was able to impart inspirational words that even her supporters can take to heart.

She ends with asking people to send in any suggestions and comments.

Bubblies and Solids are quite excited to see more of her. People on Twitter had several suggestions already for her next Vlogs:

Beyond: A new episode drops tonight. She will go through her closet must-haves. This will be exciting as you can probably tell that she sticks to whites and simple cuts. It would be fun to see her talk about her favorite outfits for sure.

Twitter Parties: Bubblies and Solids partied on Twitter for different stuff from her first vlog to the first 100k subscribes. Bubblies and Solids have been so happy for this development, a TP happened last July 8, 2022. We were not able to reach the top spot as we became distracted by a certain pic from Kuya Robi which led everyone to ask different questions. If you are an active Solid or Bubbly, you know what those questions are.
