Hello!
In today’s slow living vlog, we spend a quiet day close to the land, drying yam, preparing soybeans, cutting bamboo for a trellis, and cooking simple, nourishing meals together.

From fresh avocado and soursop in season to coffee sweetened with dates instead of sugar, we’re learning to choose more natural, wholesome alternatives and to appreciate the beauty of everyday life.

Growing even a little of our own food has changed how we see meals, time, and gratitude. It teaches patience, mindfulness, and respect for the earth that feeds us.

We hope this video inspires you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and find joy in the simple things.

Thank you for watching. Until next time.

With gratitude,
Mii

Did you know these Philippine Mythical Creatures?
"1. Aswang — a shape-shifting ghoul that feeds on humans.
It could be your sweet old neighbor by day… and a monster by night."
"2. Manananggal. She splits her body in half and flies at night…
hunting for hearts and livers."
"3. Tikbalang — half-man, half-horse.
Get lost in the woods? He’s probably playing tricks on you."
"4. Kapre. A towering tree giant who smokes cigars…
and stares from above."
"5. Diwata. A nature spirit that blesses those who respect the land…
and curses those who don’t."
"Did you believe… or even see… one of these mythical creatures?
Share it in the comments."

I started adapting fast to the ways of living in the Philippines? In this short, I show how I'm Learning the PINOY Way in the Philippines for 1 Week vs 1 Year. It's a hilarious transformation! At first, if I dropped a snack on the kitchen floor—boom, straight in the trash. But after a year here? I pick it up, blow it off, and eat it… waste not, want not! 🇵🇭🍴 This is Filipino culture in action—funny, real, and 100% relatable. Living in the Philippines teaches you to see food differently, and trust me, that 5-second rule hits different when you’re on Pinoy time. 🤣 If you’ve ever lived in the Philippines or know someone who has, you’ll definitely laugh at this! Drop a comment with YOUR most Pinoy habit, and don’t forget to hit that LIKE & SUBSCRIBE so you don’t miss more funny culture shocks and Filipino life moments. 🙌

The Philippines has one of the most passionate music audiences in the world, and after reacting to so many incredible OPM artists on this channel, I had to check out the TOP 4 songs currently trending on Spotify Philippines! These are the songs dominating the charts right now — and this was my first time hearing all of them. Filipino music never disappoints, and the emotion, vocals, and storytelling in OPM always hit differently.

A dreamy and emotional indie OPM track that captures longing, vulnerability, and romantic imagination. This song has been going viral in the Philippines and showcases the soft, intimate storytelling Filipino artists do so well.

A heartfelt Filipino ballad about eternal love and devotion. Kyle Raphael’s emotional vocal delivery and powerful lyrics make this one of the most touching OPM love songs trending right now.

A raw and intimate live performance from Cozy Cove that highlights El Manu’s emotional voice and vulnerability. This OPM performance is all about finding comfort, peace, and “home” in someone you love.

In this video, I explore Manila in 2026 to see what life in the Philippines is really like today...beyond the stereotypes. From the massive SM Mall of Asia, to the controversial Dolomite Beach, to the history-packed streets of Intramuros (Old Town), this is Manila’s past and present colliding.
I also spend time in the ultra-modern districts of Makati and BGC, showing the side of the Philippines that feels futuristic, fast-paced, and very livable especially if you’ve only seen the “chaotic” side online. This isn’t a highlight reel or a hit piece. Just real observations, walking the city, and sharing what I see on the ground.

📍 Places featured:
• SM Mall of Asia
• Dolomite Beach
• Intramuros (Old Town Manila)
• Makati
• Bonifacio Global City (BGC)

Is Manila underrated… or misunderstood?

Updated title i don't freaking know why??

》EDIT:
Dude, Philippines vs. China is maybe not real in the war or idk. The Philippines doesn't want to go the war. but also all it because China wants our sea(AKA West Philippine Sea). But damn, how it started between the Philippines and China became enemies? or is it happening on May or June?
I've made this video because It was highly inspired by VilGP_ and Verdanix_kunz. I think i blow up the trend(i think XD), but this was my most viewed in my channel..! the disclaimer wasn't even in the video(might think that YT likes war or smth).

Philippines President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte are locked in a political battle that reads like it’s straight out of a thriller. But the stakes go far beyond domestic politics. The Philippines sits at the heart of the US–China power struggle in the region, and the direction it takes could ripple far beyond its shores.
