Added: 2026-05-18

[00:00:00]What else? Where's your shirt from? Is that a squirrel on your shirt?

[00:00:03]>> It is from Columbia.

[00:00:04]>> What? Um, >> I need that.

[00:00:11]>> If you guys are somehow from there and you're coming to Manila anytime soon, please buy a magnet. I'll pay you back.

[00:00:17]Oh no, Mash just got out. Look at this crowd behind me. I got to pick my feet up. Oh yeah, we also got two paddles now. So if any of you guys want to get smoked in pickle ball, come get this work. Boy, >> do you guys have choy?

[00:00:28]>> Sorry.

[00:00:28]>> Btroy? Yes.

[00:00:29]>> Oh, yes.

[00:00:33]>> You know what? One bite review of this.

[00:00:38]>> Welcome back, people. It is our last day here in Bhole. I actually wasn't going to film. I was just going to enjoy my time cuz uh you know, since it's the last day here, we're about to go eat check out this new Viet spot that recently opened. I've been craving Vietnamese food lately. A banani sounds so good and it's got good reviews. I'm about to meet up with Jonathan for lunch. And since it is my last night here, I'm going to try to drag him out tonight. or just try to get something going tonight cuz tomorrow they have a scheduled brown out all here in Pangla.

[00:01:01]If your hotel is a backup generator you're good but from my experience everybody just goes to the beach and it's a party time. I'm consider I haven't booked any return thing yet back to Manila that's kind of on my mind.

[00:01:10]Last time I went I had a ton of fun.

[00:01:12]It's like dude the Filipino people here they do not let a freaking power outage stop them. They make the best of it.

[00:01:17]Like if that happened to us in the west we'd be complaining man. All right let's go get lunch though. So if you guys use ride sharing apps here in Bangla Maxim works really well. I should have done that, but honestly, time is of the essence because I think Jonathan's already there. And on Maxip, too, you could book a trike, just so you know.

[00:01:33]>> Hello.

[00:01:34]>> How you doing?

[00:01:40]>> Is this Korean place or Vietnamese?

[00:01:42]>> Vietnamese food here, but owner Korean.

[00:01:44]>> I see. I see.

[00:01:46]>> What?

[00:01:46]>> Oh, you see the owners?

[00:01:48]>> Oh, okay. Okay.

[00:01:49]>> Seems like Korean people own most of the restaurants here, the businesses.

[00:01:52]>> When did the restaurant open? Uh >> 21.

[00:01:57]>> Oh, March. Very new.

[00:01:58]>> All right.

[00:02:00]>> One fresh spring roll, one butter garlic scallop with burning glory, and one bun method.

[00:02:07]>> What? Where's your shirt from? Is that a squirrel on your shirt?

[00:02:09]>> It is from Colombia.

[00:02:11]>> What?

[00:02:12]>> Um I need that.

[00:02:13]>> I'm trying to decide.

[00:02:14]>> Thank you.

[00:02:15]>> Your name is Dun.

[00:02:16]>> Yeah, I recognize it. Where'd you work before?

[00:02:19]>> Pisces.

[00:02:19]>> Pisces. That's why. What's up, bro? I was like, dude, your face looks familiar.

[00:02:23]>> Yeah. What's up, man? What's your name?

[00:02:25]>> Marlin, sir.

[00:02:26]>> Marlin.

[00:02:26]>> Yeah. Nice to see you again.

[00:02:29]>> Yeah, if it's Pisces, it's, you know, >> guys, look at this. Spring rolls, baked scallops. Even the bowl looks good.

[00:02:35]>> All this looks good.

[00:02:36]>> I'm still waiting on the bun meat, but I'm excited. I haven't I haven't even thought about Vietnamese food out here, man. Look at these scallops, boys. Let's try with some of this morning glory.

[00:02:50]>> Oh, it's so buttery. Try these. Really good. All right.

[00:02:57]>> Good call.

[00:02:59]>> Morning glory is delicious, too.

[00:03:02]>> Oh, I'm really liking that.

[00:03:05]Look at >> this, guys. We got a buttery scall.

[00:03:09]>> Mhm.

[00:03:11]>> This is good.

[00:03:13]>> This is my new spot.

[00:03:16]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:03:18]>> It's nice.

[00:03:18]>> Yeah. We got to see the texture of the noodles and then that's the final verdict.

[00:03:23]>> Look at him. I'm so into filming one hand, eating one hand.

[00:03:27]Your boys just chowing down right now.

[00:03:29]You know, I got this place.

[00:03:31]>> I Googled Bach Choy cuz I really wanted it from and then this came up as a sponsored. I was like, "Oh, you know what? This looks amazing."

[00:03:38]>> I'm under the impression that it doesn't matter what you really put in a sandwich. As long as you have really good bread, you can work with this.

[00:03:43]>> Yeah, that's a good theory. Bread is so important.

[00:03:47]Oh, this is soft for a bun meat bread.

[00:03:50]This I'm going to come here all the time.

[00:03:56]>> When I think of like Vietnamese bun meat, I think of like mouth shattering baguette. This is a little too soft.

[00:04:03]>> Y'all see that? No stone left unturned.

[00:04:05]Everything was eaten.

[00:04:06]>> Jonathan, thank you for hanging out with me while I've been in Behold. I've had a great time. I'll see you. Yeah, I'll see you next time. If you come to Manila, you call me.

[00:04:13]>> Absolutely.

[00:04:13]>> All right. Peace, man.

[00:04:14]>> Peace. A, it's about that time, people.

[00:04:16]Let's get back to the city. Goodbye, Behold.

[00:04:21]Goodbye, Behold. Back at the airport.

[00:04:24]They got AC blasting in here. It feels so good in here. But dude, I could definitely see from every time I come back to Behold and I see how much development's been made. Give me 5 years, bro. It's definitely going to be the next Borai. I mean, look, it has an international airport. You don't have to go to Katiklan and take a boat over, you know? Even though that boat's only like 15, 20 minutes and it runs 24/7. This already is more convenient. Take that for how you will. I can see that having mixed opinions.

[00:04:48]So, I've been gone for like about 3 weeks. You don't understand how excited I have to get home, man. Just like half my stuff. Just back to my life. A little more structure, you know? I'm looking forward to that. I guess you always want what you don't have, right? When I'm on the when I'm in Manila too long, I crave hitting the road. But now it's the other way around.

[00:05:03]>> One of the many things I love about airports in the Philippines, you could they do offer blind massages. It helps like the disabled, too. It's a great way to kill time at the airport.

[00:05:14]First seat on the plane. Pass me right here.

[00:05:24]>> Passenger.

[00:05:25]>> Damn it. Did my luggage look halfway?

[00:05:29]>> Okay. Luggage issues aside. I don't think anybody's sitting next to me. I got all this leg room back.

[00:05:44]Yes, the final stretch.

[00:05:48]The final stretch. Hello, sir. Hello, sir.

[00:05:50]>> How you doing? Emma, happy to see you.

[00:05:53]>> Good evening, bro.

[00:05:54]>> Good evening.

[00:05:55]We are finally home. Yes, long time no see. That marks a successful road trip and no injuries, no diseases, nothing crazy to happen like negatively. But that ah happy to be back boys. What is going on? Why? Why not available serve water at my own house? What's happening?

[00:06:16]All right. I just went downstairs to ask the front desk why this is going on. And they sending a maintenance guy up, but they want to give me an answer to why they shut my water off. I thought my landlord didn't pay the bill, but that's not the case. So, it is currently 9:12.

[00:06:27]Well, I haven't eaten since like 11:00 a.m. So, thank you, Aunte Sydney, and Joe. I know I gained weight from this trip, but I need to snack on something.

[00:06:34]Your boy hungry. Yo, dude, this is like jungle pocky, but like, dude, look.

[00:06:40]Come on.

[00:06:42]Pop rocks in it.

[00:06:46]>> Oh, sir.

[00:06:47]>> Yeah.

[00:06:47]>> Well, your concern is water supply.

[00:06:49]>> Yeah. There's no water running in the unit.

[00:06:51]>> Okay. Open your >> Do you know why that is? Do you know why that happened? Uh, did you ask to close when you leave?

[00:07:00]>> No.

[00:07:01]>> Yeah, they gave me no answer. They said they closed it, but I think it's cuz they noticed I was gone for a few weeks, but they shouldn't do that.

[00:07:12]I'm just as lost as you guys are.

[00:07:16]Oh. Oh. Oh, I hear water. That was quite immediate.

[00:07:21]>> Yeah, we're good now. Yeah, I hear water. Oh, that's excited to see me.

[00:07:27]>> All right. Thank you, man.

[00:07:28]>> Yeah. Thank you. Yes, sir.

[00:07:31]What's up, guys? It's the next day.

[00:07:33]Actually, that's a lie. It's the next next day. The first day I got back, I kind of got dinner with the homie and then kind of got lost in the sun. So, I needed a day to recover and like I am just now unsettling, unpacking. I just noticed something on camera. I'm looking awfully bloated. So, we're going to do a weight check now that this road trip is over. We're back on back at home.

[00:07:53]Holy 190. Okay. 189. I kind of thought my weight would go down, but I did walk a lot during this trip, but I also did drink a lot of beers. I did drink a lot of San Miguel Lights. Those are only like 100 calories, 3% basically a salad.

[00:08:09]But damn. Now that we're back in the city, we got to change that. Oh, also look at this. I forgot to buy them in some cities, but I got to unwrap these. One sec. These magnets are pretty chill, but I didn't go there. It came with the fridge. So, we're taking them off. Dude, I forgot to buy magnets for Batanga City and Rojos.

[00:08:26]If you guys are somehow from there and you're coming to Manila anytime soon, please buy a magnet. I'll pay you back.

[00:08:32]I should have started this so much longer ago cuz I could have had Bagola Unan Alaminos Vegan Ro.

[00:08:39]Dude, I could have got a good thing started. But it's okay. We're starting this now. It's pretty cool, huh? You know what? That actually applies to all the places I just named. If you're from Bagio la Uno and all the place I just named earlier and you're coming to Manila, please get your boy a magnet.

[00:08:52]All right, let's get this day started.

[00:08:54]First order of business, we got to drop off laundry and then fill up our fridge.

[00:08:59]Hello.

[00:09:07]Hey, can I do rush, please? Beverages secured.

[00:09:12]All right, we're about to head to the mall. Malls are about to open up. But first, I want to try this thing out. So, in this channel, I book a lot of Airbnbs, right? And uh this southern road trip, I did hotels only because I was building up points. But what this is, it's like a lens that flashes a light, and if there's a hidden camera somewhere, it'll reflect the lens back.

[00:09:28]I book a good amount of Airbnbs on this channel, so this will be a good test.

[00:09:32]And you know what? Where I'm living now is an Airbnb. Now, I don't think my landlord would do that, but you can't be too sure. So, let's do a little walk through of the house. All right. To give a little test, you see this red light that shines through? You basically look through the lens and you see how the camera lens like reflect back. Man, I should have bought this ages ago. All right, let's let's walk through the house. All right, my place seems good, which is a relief. But now that I'm back in the city, I do want to start up the hotel versus Airbnb videos again in Manila. So, expect to see that again.

[00:10:00]But it is about 10:40 right now. It's time to go to the mall. Let's go. Okay, it is 11:00 now. Our grab is downstairs.

[00:10:07]We're headed to the malls right now. I got to do something about this top, bro.

[00:10:10]I had to get a cut while I was on the road.

[00:10:15]Hello, sir. For Juny. Yeah, for Yes.

[00:10:21]>> A little tip for you guys. If you guys are coming to the malls on a Sunday in the Philippines, it is the most crowded day. A lot of these have churches in them, too. So, yeah, it's it's the busiest day of the week. I'm happy to be back in the city though, just like familiar territory, have half my stuff back. But I'd be lying if I said there isn't like a emptiness feeling of when trips end. I'm not even just talking content wise, just like, you know, it's like when I'm on the road, it's like constantly doing something, but now that I'm back here, it's like, okay, you guys see what I mean? There's like people on the outside waiting for the next service.

[00:10:53]>> What's up, Doc?

[00:10:55]>> Hey, man.

[00:10:55]>> Hey, how you doing, honey? A long time.

[00:10:57]>> Yeah, it's been a long time without your faces.

[00:11:07]Okay. Thanks, honey.

[00:11:08]>> Bye.

[00:11:13]>> Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Mash just got out.

[00:11:16]Look at this crowd behind me. I got to pick my feet up.

[00:11:19]All right, since we're still at the mall, let's get a price on pickle ball rackets. I don't know what I'm looking for here, but what is this? Tennis.

[00:11:27]Morning ball.

[00:11:28]>> Hey, are these pickle ball rackets?

[00:11:31]>> Yes, sir. How much are they?

[00:11:33]>> Um, this one is the cheaper $13.99 and this one is $25.99.

[00:11:40]>> Oh, so they range in price.

[00:11:41]>> Yes, sir.

[00:11:43]>> Okay. Are these like the fancy one? Oh, wow. These are like 10,000. Since we're still learning the game, this is what we'll get. These are like $13.99. So, I'm going to get two of them cuz I don't want to play by myself. Racket secure.

[00:11:54]Two rackets and a pack of three balls for $33.97. It's now haircut time. I'm going to see if I can pick up a game tonight. Let's see if any of the boys are free. Okay, I'm at Shangri Lot. They have a Chris Sports here. This is where I just bought this. I want to see if the rackets are more expensive or the same price cuz this is a nice mall. Hello.

[00:12:11]Pickle ball over here.

[00:12:14]Sweet.

[00:12:16]No, no, exact same price. Never mind.

[00:12:18]Okay, nice.

[00:12:20]>> It's time to get rid of this dude. It's been too long.

[00:12:24]>> Hello.

[00:12:25]>> How you doing?

[00:12:26]>> Good afternoon. Shame available. J. No, sir. It's absent for today.

[00:12:30]>> Oh, no. You come tomorrow?

[00:12:32]>> Yes, sir.

[00:12:32]>> Okay. I'll see you tomorrow. Yeah. Bye.

[00:12:35]All right. Never mind. We have the muffin top. One more day. JM's off.

[00:12:40]>> I was about to get out of here, but they're having some like bee hole pop-up. And I see homemade beef jerky. I need that. What?

[00:12:48]>> Is jerky common here in the Philippines?

[00:12:51]>> Not too common, right? That's why I'm excited.

[00:12:55]>> You guys see this garlic beef jerky?

[00:12:57]Looks like thin slices, but this looks tasty.

[00:12:59]>> Beef loin, salt, curring black pepper, phosphate. Okay, nice. Take care.

[00:13:04]>> Hello. Wa. You make all this?

[00:13:07]>> Yes.

[00:13:08]>> What? What is uh is this caramel?

[00:13:10]>> Caramel smell. Okay.

[00:13:36]>> Baka.

[00:13:37]>> Baka beef.

[00:13:38]>> Oh, and then how much is this one?

[00:13:41]>> 120.

[00:13:41]>> 120. Okay. Do you have a sample of this one or >> It's okay. It's okay.

[00:13:47]>> What we feeling, people? Five or 10?

[00:13:49]I'll go five.

[00:13:53]>> All right. This is good. Getting done.

[00:13:54]And we're just living smart right now.

[00:13:55]Loaded up my phone bill so I don't got to worry about that for the next 4 months. And then since I bought jerky, it's only right that I get some cheese with it so that we can eat this at home.

[00:14:04]I thought these were out of season. Get in here.

[00:14:08]Bro, you guys look at how beautiful these strawberries are from Japan. 880.

[00:14:13]I can't justify those. Those are amazing.

[00:14:16]Yoink yoink yink.

[00:14:20]It would have been fitting since I'm back now to cook a steak tonight. But the Japanese butcher shop I go to in Makati Kayyama, they're closed on Sundays. Should I do one now? Should I do one now? Okay, maybe I still do one now. I still want to stay tonight. Let's see how this T-bone is. 987. It's quite thin and there's a lot of fat to it.

[00:14:40]No, I'll wait till tomorrow.

[00:14:44]That wraps up my errands for now. I mean, I didn't I couldn't get a haircut.

[00:14:47]Meat shop is closed and I need to top up my Morocco bill, but they're closed on Sundays, too. So, let's go home and drop this off. Jim, swimming, edit. Hello, sir.

[00:15:01]>> Oh, finally home. Yes. I'm glad I got all that done. Heck yeah. All right, we chill for a sec and then we'll see what's next. I might One of you lovely people recommended a butt choice spot in Quzon City. I if it's that's true and and they make it good, I I need that for dinner tonight. So, let's figure let's settle in first and figure it out.

[00:15:19]Here's my grocery. Oh, it ain't much, but it's like fruit, milk, kimchi, cheese. It was $16.4855.

[00:15:25]Oh, yeah. We also got two paddles now.

[00:15:27]So, if any of you guys want to get smoked and pickle ball, come get this work, boy.

[00:15:32]Cheers. All right, let's take this time to try this beef jerky out and rehydrate first off. Cheers, boys.

[00:20:10]>> All right, I was It is This is a small table to film for like three people. So, I'll see you guys after. You know what?

[00:20:15]One bite review of this.

[00:20:20]Guys, I'm a happy camera. You know what?

[00:20:21]Actually, the highlight is this chicken chop pow. Look at how freaking loaded this is. Booyah. Craving satisfied. All right, man. Good seeing you. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.

[00:20:39]>> Hello for Juny. How's it going, brother?

[00:20:46]>> Back home now. But I see this pickle ball court's open. Let's go see how we can sign up. Oh, heck yeah. This thing's like brand new. I think before I left my road trip, it was not open. But let's go see. All right. So, to reserve a spot here, you got to download an app called Sports 360. But based off the amount of people I saw and the amount of like courts available, since it's brand new, I I bet you it's like fully booked for a while. They do have open play from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., I believe, and that's what like most people are waiting around for cuz it seems like that's the only time you get in. But, I think this is an appropriate place to close out the video. Just wanted to take you guys through my day of how I settle back in after a road trip. I mean, there's still more settling to do. I got to get a haircut, buy some good meats, but we'll save that for the next one. It's beyond the scope of this. Hope you guys enjoyed. Peace.
