Our REAL Thoughts in Manila Quarantine

Good evening guys, welcome to, it's not the morning, don't worry we're not drinking beer in the morning, welcome to a very laid back video. We just wanted today for tonight's video for you guys to sit down with us, grab a drink, grab a beer, grab a juice, whatever it is you drink, sit down with us and have a very very casual laid back chat. Haven't even properly thought about the camera angle, we're not even really going to edit this video. How's that angle? Not good because your head's chopped off. So firstly cheers to day 20. Cheers, 20 down. So basically we wanted to sit down today, have a very casual chat with you guys, we asked you to ask us questions because we often, we do this every now and then, we do like a little Q&A session, usually it's us making videos and talking about whatever we talk about but it's nice often to involve you guys, involve the people who are actually watching the videos and give you the opportunity to talk to us, ask us questions and see what's on your mind. So that's what we're going to do, we're going to jump straight in. What? You've turned into a TV presenter. It's because when we have a camera, the camera's on a tripod. I'm literally here like ready for this, such a laid back video with a beer and you're like hello everybody, welcome today, we are going to do some Q&A questions, we are going to begin now. First question please. Please, you're not on a quiz. Okay the first question this evening is. Lucy's going to interview me, alright okay. You good? Yeah, and also if you ask me stories on my Instagram Q&A. No, if you ask me questions on my Instagram story. Yes. That's not what you said. That's exactly what I said. No it's true, you said if you ask me stories on my Instagram Q&A. Then I'm going to answer those in this video because I haven't got round to. All of them? Well some, I'm going to pick some out. Do that on Instagram because there's so many questions from this live. Oh we have enough? We've got 63 comments. Then I shall do a separate Instagram Q&A. 63 George. Okay, I'm going to change this angle a bit, it's annoying me. It's annoying me. No, wait, wait, wait. This is meant to be so laid back I swear, what is going on. I know. It's a nice angle. How about this, I'm on your shoulder. Hello. There we go. Okay, now we have the prime angle. Oh that is awful. That's perfect. Got plant, got painting. You look like a penis. Sit forward a bit. I don't want to sit forward. Okay, I'll sit back. No it's fine, I'll put a cushion here. Okay. Good evening guys, welcome back. There we go, let's start again, let's start again. Are you not scared of travelling again if the lockdown is lifted on April the 12th? Yes. This is a really interesting one because I was saying to my family the other day on FaceTime, once people start moving around again, if someone caught it just before the ban was lifted, then they are still going out and infecting people. Yeah. It's going to start, I can't figure out how this is going to slow down. It's not going to disappear overnight. No. So my take on it is that it's going to get extended, all the lockdowns will be extended or at least it won't be an overnight switch off and everyone can go back to normal life. So are we afraid of travelling? Yeah, we're definitely not planning on travelling even if the lockdowns get lifted. No. We're not just going to continue as we were and go through airports twice a week and go around until it's that situation where we know that it's way less likely that you can get it. Yeah. And I think when we do start travelling again, we might start again with road trips and stuff instead of putting ourselves through airports and ferry terminals and things. And just thinking of lower risk situations. And when we first start going out again as normal, how weird is that going to feel? I mean, that's the thing. It's going to feel bizarre. It's going to be weird to even... Like hug a friend. Hug a friend, meet people, shake hands, sit next to people in a cinema, walk past people normally without a two metre distance. So even that for your mind, it's going to be... I don't think anyone's going to be able to switch back to normal life straight away. But I think people will go back into old habits quite quick. Within a week I'm sure I'll be fine. Best countries you've travelled to. Should we do like a top five countries each? No, let's do three because five's easy because you can include all your favourite countries. Three's really hard. And we're not going to include Philippines. Why not? Because we both know it's our top favourite. Okay, we'll include Philippines. But then that does take one and it's obviously our favourite because we live here. Philippines is our favourite. We don't need to tell you guys why by now. We've told you so many times why we love the Philippines. So let's do two, that's even harder. Okay, two other than Philippines. I'm going to go... And not England, we can't count our home. It's like other countries we've travelled. Oh, it's so difficult. So I'm going to say Japan is in that. Yep. Love Japan. And I'm going to say... It's so difficult. I want to say Japan as well. I think. Do you know what, I might... And I want to say also South Korea but then that's like... There's so many other places. No, not South Korea. I might say Italy. Because it's one in Asia, one not in Asia. Italy's got some stunning places. It has. But I don't think it's in my top two. I love Prague too. I think for me... What was that? Laptop. What was it? It sounded like it came from like an echo from above. You've been watching too much Marvel. Yeah. Japan and maybe... Okay, I'm going to turn the sound off. What is that? Emails? Yeah. Yeah, no, I think I'm going to go South Korea. Japan and South Korea. I love both of them a lot. We actually watched back our old South Korea vlogs. Maybe that's why I'm saying that. The other day. Really, really cool. Definitely want to go back there soon. I'm question master and I haven't got another question ready. Quick. Talk among yourselves. Someone's having a go at us. Someone's telling us off. Go on. Are you planning to shut down your reaction channel? No new video for weeks. Wrong. It's been two brand new reaction videos. Very, very recently. How recently? Is your mind screwed up from being indoors? Maybe it's over a week now. Could be over a week. We're actually planning on filming more reaction videos tomorrow. Comment anything you want us to react to because we get all our ideas from comments and messages. And I don't know why, but it seems that even though we're stuck indoors, so you might think, how are you not bored all day? Or like the day's kind of dragged by. We're literally running out of time every single day. It gets dark and we're like, what? We haven't done everything. I know, I know. So maybe that's why. We're managing to fill our time with stuff that you also don't see on the blogs. How old are you? Nice simple one. 26. But my birthday is going to be very, very soon. I'm now getting to the point where I think my birthday might be spent in quarantine. So that's going to be interesting. I'm going to have to navigate that a little bit. Birfantine. No, don't even try. So I will be turning 27 in May, early May. That's so weird, George. I know. So that's 10 years since I passed my driving test. 10 years since I got my first car. 10 years since I was in college. How old am I, George? And that is three years away from 30. 30, that's like adult age. I think we're meant to be adults now. No. How old am I? 22. Young as ****. Definitely not 22. Are you 23? Yep. So you're going to be 24 this year. I've been 23 since November and you've forgotten. Thanks. I just always think you're 21. So you're 24 this year. Still young. Got a lot of time ahead of you. Thanks. I like to think so. Okay. Place outside the Philippines you dream to visit? America, USA, New York. We actually have planned to go to New York this summer. Don't think that's happening. But also a lot of other places in America. It's massive and it's daunting how much there is to see. But I'd love to drive across America. I think we'll do that one day. Do a little vlog series. A little road trip series across America. That'd be cool. Australia? Yeah. New Zealand. You want to do your real thing is like Iceland or Antarctica or somewhere cold. Very different. Antarctica I'm so interested in. Seeing all the animals there. I'm obsessed with ice. All of them? All of them. I'm obsessed with ice. Seeing a huge iceberg or pieces of ice. I don't know. I find it so cool. The blues and glaciers and stuff. I'd love that. That's my dream place I think. Out of everywhere. Loads of places. South America. Brazil. Places like that. I want to go to America and see all these places where all this old music started that I love. The country music and the blues and Texas. Austin. Nashville. All these kind of places. Iced coffee or hot coffee? Hot coffee overall. But I have nothing against iced coffee on a hot day. Beautiful. This has turned into me asking you questions. Because you get to answer them first because I'm reading them out. So every time I ask you a question you can do that because it's not fair. Who wakes up earlier? George or Lucy? Definitely me. Wrong. That is so sweet. Lucy I was up at half seven this morning. Look at you you're there like this. Yeah and then you go to sleep until eleven. Then you're awake on the second one. No but when we actually wake up you wake up first. I wake up throughout the entire night because George tosses and turns. And I am woken up before night. But when we actually get up I get up first. How tall are you both? I'm 175 centimetres I think. I'm like five foot eight or nine. I'm six foot two and a half last time I checked. I may have grown since then. Is that half important? Yes. Because my dad's six foot three. Oh really? And I've never quite been as tall as him if we both stand up straight. That hair helps. But I'm very very close. What are the things you use in a Filipino way since you've been staying here in Manila for a year or so? Our language. It's less than a year. Our language has definitely changed. No it hasn't. We're still speaking English. Every now and again we both kind of go hmm that's not the British English way of saying that. There's a lot of phrases that I think there's a lot of American English in the Philippines. So we pick up phrases like in an American way or a Filipino way. And we don't even realise until we go home and speak to our family. What did you say? What did I say? Like ATM. No but even like a phrase. When I go right at the end that's quite American and I never used to do that. So there's ways we speak now that are definitely different. Also cooking rice. You've found out the Filipino way to do that. All I want to say? Probably things that we don't even know or realise. I think the laid back attitude. We've adapted nicely as much as we can. Positivity and smiling. That's come out of us even more. It was there already but I think being around Filipinos and being in the Philippines that allows you to bring that side of you out. Because everyone is so open and welcoming. So all positive things. I just realised my buttons are all undone. If you guys were home in the UK instead of in Manila right now during quarantine. What do you think you'd be doing daily in terms of vlog content, daily routines, activities, hobbies etc? This is a really good question because we've spoken about this. We just haven't spoken about it on the vlog or on camera. But you're speaking instead again. You're trying to answer it. Oh yeah, you answer first then. You literally asked it and you were like, yeah it's my answer. I lost where we were. Can you find it again? Yeah, you answer and I'll find it. So I would say it'd be similar vlog content but obviously not in our apartment from one of our parents' houses. I disagree. But carry on. I think it'd be harder to vlog because we wouldn't have as much space of our own to film in. And we don't want to just be sticking the camera in our family's faces if we're staying in their homes. And daily activity wise, I mean you're allowed to go out for one piece of exercise a day there. We'd definitely be doing that if that was allowed. That would definitely be a good thing that we could be doing. But I mean I think it'd be fairly similar. But I just think the vlog content would be like maybe more sit down videos, less daily vlog style stuff. I think it would be look backs on previous content which I'm not that excited about doing. I mean it shouldn't be different but I feel like here we've got the kitchen, we've got our own space, the balcony. We've got stuff we can do in our home. The thing is, if we were back at home we would be in one of our parents' houses. We'd have to choose a house to base ourselves in, whoever would take us. We'd also have to stay in one bedroom for 14 days. We'd only be in one room mainly. Obviously we can use the house. No, I'm saying for 14 days because we've travelled we'd have to properly isolate in one room. So I don't think we'd be vlogging nearly as much. I don't think we'd just be picking up the camera and filming whatever we got up to. Because like you say, the family would be there, it's someone else's house, it's not our personal space. And how we're dealing with it might be different to whoever's house we're staying in is dealing with it. And it's a weird time so we can't be like, look we're going to vlog all day. And then they're like, okay I'm struggling. Is there still a chance that your family would still visit you here in the Philippines after everything is okay? 100% Yes, definitely. We already had my sister and her boyfriend planning on coming here. They had flights booked. They had flights, everything. Sadly got cancelled of course. My parents are due to come later in the year. That might still be possible, we don't know yet. How crazy is that? Your parents might see the Philippines before your sister and Mike? Yeah. Because before we were expecting to show them and then them. A lot of our family, obviously they watch the vlogs most of them, they're excited to see the Philippines. Excited to see where we live, excited to see our place. So yeah, they definitely want to come out here because we obviously rave about it and talk about it so much. So they definitely want to see that. So yeah, definitely. Who decides which island or tourist spot in the Philippines both of you travel? You guys. Pretty much. We mainly base it on comments, people sending us stuff on Instagram and stuff. But in terms of like should we go or not, I think we both like the same things. Very similar taste in Ireland. And if we haven't been somewhere, we love seeing a new place. So we'll just try it anyway. So we'll try it. And yeah, it's often a way, it's often that you'll see something on Instagram or people recommend it. Or, I don't know, it's just on a travel list from a while ago. And we think, okay, let's look at flights. Cheaper flights, where are the cheaper flights going? We now know people in different islands, different places of the Philippines. And so if someone, if friends invite us or we say, oh, we'll come and see you again in a few weeks or whatever it is. All different reasons why we travel. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Is that right if you're looking at the bed or if you're lying in bed? If you're lying in bed, you. I am. So I'm like, are we like this? No, we're the other way around from this. No, we're, okay, imagine right now we're lying in bed, the pillows are here and we're lying this way. This is how we are on camera. Lucy, I think they get it from your first sentence. Sorry, I was trying to be visual. Was there a time in your relationship that both of you decided to end it or give each other some space? We've had some big arguments and some big fights, but they never really last over to the next day. You get them all wrapped up in the same day. And we normally like end up that we're just both hungry or annoyed about something else. It's always a stupid reason. There's never been a legitimate reason for any of our arguments ever. It's never been like you've done that, which I can't forgive you for. It's always been just silly. Lucy picking out the small things that I do that don't really matter. It's all it is. Or it's George being useless and forgetting to do everything I ask him to do. Thanks for that question. You may have just started a lot. Cut. We're kidding, we're kidding. Are you guys into fashion? What are your guys' favorite Filipino food? Love the vids. Stay safe. And always think and stay positive. Thanks for the nice words. So two questions there. Are you guys into fashion? George really is into fashion because he's a huge fan of the all black fashion. Because all he wears, apart from today, is all black. But he has 25 black t-shirts, 34 pairs of black trousers and black trainers. I'm lazy with fashion. Actually, after this, I do want to get a little bit more into fashion. And that doesn't mean spending the most amount of money possible on clothes and buying all designer brands. I don't care about brands. I don't care about designer brands. I care about quality. I care about look. I care if it's cool. I care if it's got a cool message. Or if it's like an independent brand and someone's worked hard on it. That's what I look for in clothing. Mainly I look for comfort and ease. But like I go through phases and I'm very easily influenced. So we go to Japan and I'm like, oh, I want to do Japanese fashion. And then we go somewhere else and then we go somewhere else. And it just depends how I'm feeling. You get an all round thing. Yeah. I'm not like one thing. I'd like to do some fashion content on my channel more, George. So if there's any cool Filipino brands, local brands or what's the word for it? Boutique or like independent clothing brands. Let me know in the comments. And the other question on that. Where is it? It was what was your favorite Filipino food? I'm going to go lechon with garlic rice. Sinigang. Just that combination. Sinigang. It's actually what I made. Missing street food actually. Before this happened, we only just recently got into the street food market near where we live. We were going there a couple of times. Dark chocolate or milk chocolate? Dark chocolate. Way healthier. Actually though, if you want to taste it. Genuinely now, I've changed my taste buds. That is not true. If there was a bar of dairy milk, fruit and nut on the UK. And there was a bar of 85% dark chocolate. Be honest. And you've had a healthy day. I know, yeah. You've done well. If I've had a healthy day and done well and I was in the healthy zone, I'd choose the dark chocolate. Because it makes me feel good. If you just eat it in a McDonald's. Then I'd probably go for the dairy milk. But it always makes me feel sick afterwards. But it tastes really good. I want an Easter egg, George. Well, it's nearly Easter. Hey, we literally bought mini eggs the other day. Alright guys, we have nearly finished our beard. I have already. Now you have. Me too. Thanks for joining us this evening for a little laid back video. We'll be back tomorrow with a daily vlog. Not sure what's going to happen yet. You'll have to come back and find out. Thanks for all your support recently. Thank you if you did ask questions. And give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it. And don't drink too much beer. Subscribe. We actually drank a lot of beer before filming this. Yes. Yeah, day 20. Oh, by the way. We're very, very, very nearly at 300,000 subscribers. So if you can help us out with that, please subscribe. We really appreciate it. Big party when we get there from the apartment on our own. Oh yeah. But that's all good. We can't go out and celebrate. No, let's do a live stream. Let's do something fun for 300k. Yes, live stream. Comment below if you want a live stream at 300k. We'll do that. Hashtag 300k live stream. Alright guys, we'll see you soon. Bye.
