The life journey has begun again on the internet. Here we go.

There's no sign.
>> What do you mean like to put like like later? Oh, it's always like that. You do like later.
That's actually I've been thinking about this. I think about this long parking lot.
>> I think 30 >> 30 even >> 3 hours.
>> So even if you come to the airport and to pick somebody up, you have to come into the parking lot.
>> 39.
>> Okay.
You know how I know Kumar is a good sundo? Look at this. Sam palok with peanut. He brought snacks.
>> What's the bread? I I didn't.

>> It's good though.
>> It's good because uh notam is >> You know what I realized though? How do you know if it's a seed or peanut? Huh?
That doesn't make sense. Like, is it going to be This is the seed. But what about the peanuts? I think the peanut you can bite it.
It's a little bit soft. We're going to play a game called how many to four seeds of Kaliso. Sell Philippines candy.
The dusty Davo Highway.
We've just passed over the famous Panabo City flyover. Brad, I'm going to need to get cafe cuz pickle ball for 3 hours.
So, the plan is whenever I'm on the road and it's like just quick and easy and good, the Duncan the drive-thru. The one you know the one I'm talking about.
>> Okay.
>> Duncan Donut.
>> Duncan.
Why do they Oh, yeah. They changed the name. No, it's just Duncan.
>> Duncan.
>> Used to be Dunkin Donuts.
>> It's now Duncan.
>> Yeah, just straight up Duncan.
Don't say Dunk D.
>> Yeah, it's like D.
D. You say D or D.
>> Why did I say D? Why am I putting a D?
D. Maybe because it just sounds like a T. Yeah, >> not D.
>> Yeah, I know it's D. Why? Why does it come? It sounds like a T. Diva D. Maybe that's your Canadian slang.
We got a chain stone.
>> Yeah.
See, it's got a There's a Shell gas station with a Duncan just after you go past the Tigen City welcome sign in the big Punong area with the shellfish.
Change coffee.
Want to see this? Look at this. The GoPro. Look at this. Ready? Aha.
Aha.
>> Oh, always prepared.
>> So, dilly bajo tree spray.

Is this the new one, Brad?
>> Uh, yeah. The the >> the one from Yeah.
>> Isn't that cool?
>> Nice. Look at this.
>> Yeah.
>> This told you later.
>> Instead of right, that's basketball.
This one is >> if I'm over here like way over here and I look at you, I'm like, >> "Yeah, that's basketball.
>> That's the basketball." like you tell your friend from a distance you're basketball.
>> So we're going to the pickle ball one.
>> Yeah.
>> I never I never started drinking iced coffee till Duncan's honestly.
Just very convenient.
We're looking for paddle max. Kumar's going to drop me at the court. Then he's going to run around, tag him a bit, and get a few necessities while I pick it up.
Sweet.
>> Yeah, this is dope.
>> This is awesome. All right. Warehouse in Tago. This is wicked. Going to meet my friend Alex in a pickle ball for 2 and 1 half hours.
>> This is the Philippines. Every warehouse is becoming pickle ball course. This is great. We've already been playing for an hour and a half. Rumor has it we're going to a birthday party quickly after to eat at a guy who makes famous boneless lechon in Taco City. Bingo. Let's go.
>> All right. Let's go, sir.
>> That was so awkward. Let's go. Let's go.
Here we go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Who am I with?
>> Okay.
>> I don't know. I don't I don't know if I'm that good.
Who am I with? Kinsa. Kinsan. Kinsan.
Woo.
Let's go.
Doug means winning. Sabano Visayiah final.
>> Good game, Bingo. Good game.
>> Good game. I just >> Good game. Good game. Nice one. Nice one. Nice one.
>> How's it going, bro?
Brad, you think Lechon?
>> Yeah, for sure. Lechon.
>> We're going to go Mangasai. Following our buddy Alex. We just finished pickle ball. Kubar's back. 6:30. Mangasai birthday mission in Tagum. Masai birthday.
>> And it's the guy's birthday. Koi. He owns the best like boneless lechon in the city. So, they got to have some, right? And it's chlet. Masai. One of our favorite words. Mangasai is better than mangiping. Mangasai means they already know we're coming to go and eat and then probably leave. But manging is when they don't know and they don't you're not really buddies. You just literally take advantage of them and go and eat.
>> Eing masa.
trying this one first.
>> Koi's Lechon belly cooked at his house on his birthday.
>> Bang. Sorry to my wife who might see this and be upset with me.
>> So good, man.
It's already got the spicy kick to Oh my god.
>> Wow.
>> Yeah, it's the best.
>> So good, >> dude. This is legit.
>> I don't even want to use this sour.
>> Yeah.
>> By the way, >> that trailer is actually registered with the LTO over there and it roasts. You can take it around and it roasts the ch.
That is the coolest thing.
>> So good.
>> Oh my gosh.
Always forever near everywhere I want to find you. I love always forever near together everywhere. I will love you everything. I want to you know sing.
>> Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
>> Happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to you. Woo!
Birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
I think No way.
There it is.
We're getting a bonus lechon for the road. But first, I'm going to prove myself in that court playing pickle ball. Brad the legit.
>> What the timing?
>> What the timing, man.
>> Bang.
>> The best. The best.
>> That's for coin. Okay, you got the coin first. Even >> he told me. Yeah. Okay.
Oh, I've never played pickle ball after eating so much lechron. It's the best.
Seriously, find kois and tiger and just eat it. All right, one time only.
Got to admit, this is the healthiest time to be in the Philippines. I mean, before you just sit at parties at birthdays and you eat and you drink. Now you play pickle ball. And this used to be a basketball court.
Oh, >> you know it's bilashian.
>> It's a bilashian.
>> Like you don't sleep the whole night.
>> Really?
>> Bilashian. Bilar say you say is like the act of doing bil >> that's so funny but you're like >> so one of my favorite words I think it's only a bay term it's like if you stay up all night so if you stay up till like 5:00 a.m. And then you get an hour sleep, you wake up, you're >> bar.
But I didn't know you could say bilashon.
>> It's like the act of becoming bar. So our prediction is that those guys are going to be playing all night long pickle ball and then having drinks and chilling. Uh I lost one, I won one, and we are making our way down the highway now through Davodoro. Maybe stop for a coffee at Axel Dave. It is 11:00 p.m.
If we stay out long enough, maybe we will be be lower as well.
>> You think is bashion though actually a term or just like a >> Yeah, it's a term >> or like just a slang >> like when you go to the beach, you know, awake.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
Hey.
bread. More more napa.
>> Oh no, not too big in it.
>> Kill 10 in the morning. Super duper hot out. Actually, this next few months is some of the best for coming to the coast to swim, to go to the islands, to go trekking because habagat means calmness. I'm Mihan. And when we get into like November, December, it's pretty wild here as you would have seen over the years.
Solar is looking great, looking clean.
In fact, my whole beach home section here so organized and clean when I came in late last night. Uh maybe I'll take you through and show some things and we'll talk about some stuff. Obviously, we're going to go all around the property in days to come because about a month ago, too, we started a few little projects and renovations. Also, I see that Kumar has got a few things going on.

>> Yeah. They'll eventually this mini eggs they look healthy.
>> Yeah.
>> Be honest though. Over the past like 4 months, how many have you slaughtered to eat?
>> Maybe four.
>> Okay. That's why you don't name them.
No.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, we can decision this one later.
>> Dude, dude, >> you're so sad, man.
>> You're so sad. Why? Well, not sad, but that's the cycle of the chicken.
>> Yeah, that's true. I'm done with him.
I'm done with him. He's like very stubborn.

That's it. I am back in Katiel and I've decided it's time to get back to showing you what's going on in my life. Uh I was doing so many different events and getting involved with different things with Theine in Metro Manila and even in Kagi and Dior. I ended up for a few days uh and I was just so focused in interacting at those events and and yeah, just the real world stuff that I didn't even want to think about uh picking up a camera. And then after a few days and a few weeks, I just kind of got so used to >> Sorry, I'm distracted.
