The socialite has been thrust into the limelight for her vlogs, which shows her life of leisure and luxury.</p><p>She never thought that her YouTube channel, aptly titled &quot;Welcome to Small&#x27;s World,&quot; would have 1.84 million subscribers as of writing. </p><p>&quot;Before, I was a housewife staying at home, helping my husband in the office. That&#x27;s it... I&#x27;d have daily lunch outs with friends [and] go out with my family... But you know, it&#x27;s totally different now,&quot; Laude said on the sidelines of an event by the jewelry brand Diagold, which tapped her as its newest ambassador.</p><p>&quot;Of course, the privacy of our family is affected,&quot; she admitted. &quot;But you know, that&#x27;s the price of being known, right? I have to be nice to everyone [and] my supporters because I owe it to them.&quot;</p><p>Laude acknowledged that some people are not happy with her content, while others question why she continues to vlog despite her comfortable lifestyle.</p><p>In response, she said: &quot;Some of my friends ask, &#x27;Why do you do that? You don&#x27;t need to do this.&#x27; But you know what, I&#x27;m so happy with what I do. [I believe I can keep doing this] as long as I don&#x27;t step on anyone&#x27;s toes.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Now I&#x27;ve found my purpose,&quot; she declared. &quot;I make people happy and I help with their sadness, [and] that makes me happy. So I don&#x27;t care what other people will say, I&#x27;m just happy with what I do. And I will do what makes me happy.&quot;</p><p>Asked if she has considered entering show business, Laude revealed that she has been getting a number of offers to appear on television shows.</p><p>She went on to explain why she turned them down. &quot;It&#x27;s not for me. I don&#x27;t like to do TV shows, I just want to manage my own time, and I don&#x27;t like reading scripts or memorizing,&quot; she said.</p><p>The socialite said she prefers to be herself in front of the camera, as opposed to playing a role. &quot;[Actually] I&#x27;m a little bit mellow on camera [compared to in real life]. My husband would say, &#x27;You are too noisy, you are so talkative.&#x27; So I&#x27;m like filtering myself [in my vlogs], I&#x27;m a little bit tame compared to at home.&quot;</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=2609511" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div><div><strong>DIAMONDS, PEARLS, SAPPHIRES, EMERALDS</strong></div><p>During the Diagold event, Laude talked about her love for jewelry.</p><p>She said her favorite pieces in her personal collection were given to her by her husband, and her sister Alice Eduardo. </p><p>Aside from diamonds, the socialite also likes pearls, sapphires, and emeralds. &quot;I just love the color of emerald,&quot; she said.</p><p>Laude said she gravitates toward pieces of jewelry that are &quot;modern&quot; and &quot;chunky,&quot; saying these make her &quot;look younger when wearing it.&quot;</p><p>In particular, she loves wearing earrings, and prefers rose gold over yellow and white gold. &quot;I love studs, diamond studs,&quot; she said. </p><p>When asked to give advice to those who are buying their first diamonds, Laude replied: &quot;It doesn&#x27;t have to be big... It should be clean and white, even if it&#x27;s just a small piece.&quot; </p>
