In the timeframe 8:07, @MergimVlogsYT became thoroughly confused by the phrase "older by blood but younger by age," as used by his lady friend, whom he referred to as "Blondie." Blondie is the aunt and she is younger in age than her niece, who is the daughter of her sister, then the phrase "older by blood but younger by age" is being used in a slightly unconventional way. In this context, it seems to highlight the generational difference between Blondie and her niece in terms of their roles in the family tree. While Blondie is younger in age, she is "older by blood" because she belongs to an older generation within the family. The niece, being the daughter of Blondie's sister, represents a younger generation in the family tree. So, the phrase underscores the distinction between the traditional family hierarchy based on blood relations (Blondie being from the older generation) and the actual age of the individuals (Blondie being younger than her niece).
In January, the country has the Translacion on the 9th where the image of the Black Nazarene is paraded from the Quirino grandstand and then to several designated streets and ending at the Quiapo Church, 2nd is the Sinulog in Cebu on the 3rd week and lastly the Dinagyan in Iloilo. February is the Panabenga Festival in Baguio on the 2nd week .
You can now visit Ilocos region as we are in dry season that will last until May. Sunny each day all the way up to Pagudpud. Only umbrellas for the sun! Must visit Vigan and Laoag city!
You looked 10 yrs younger with your haircut. 🥰 A scooter is truly very helpful roaming around BGC. 😉👍 Good you make friends with the Filipinos. I also didn't get that she's older by blood. 🤭
Should explore Q.C. it's way bigger than B.G.C. or the whole of Taguig and way more assets even with Manila and Makati possibly richer than all the cities as well in terms of assets, it has a lot of stuff that B.G.C. doesn't have like the Colosseum historic now basically old 😁GMA TV Station is in there, the oldest super mall is in there "SM North" now better with the group of Ayalas Mall beside it, it has far more malls of all of the Capitol Region, almost all the government places are in there, best University is in there "U.P." Ayala Heights is in there (Rich People Home/Houses) numbers of Public Markets, Dampa as well you wont see all this in B.G.C. Eateries, Beer Houses/Clubs, Parks, Art Houses, Gyms, Hotels, Schools, Trains/Highway, Banks, Factories, Commercial places businesses, hospitals/clinics etc. basically it has everything and a lot of things that B.G.C. doesn't have 😁😁, it's just spread all over the place and mainly residentials and requires research of getting there unlike new B.G.C. concentrated in one area, it's one of the reason they built it for foreigners "Global City" easier to go around basically walk 😁but you'll live in a apartment which is a downside for most Filipinos, Makati Glorietta area used to be known Quad Cinema area ages ago and newer Greenbelt 1-5 chain area are the equivalent of the old "Escolta" of the past where high end shopping are located (Old Manila) old local residence will remember this (Grannies) B.G.C. equivalent of the past is "Avenida" in the Quiapo area, Makati Greenbelt area top it, it won't be beaten, Financial institution, banks, businesses, stocks etc. are all in there basically the high roller are there 😁before the new B.G.C. the Go To Places where pin point places in Q.C. Makati and other places like Alabang, Pasay area etc. in Metro Manila these places has far more history than B.G.C. and B.G.C. are far too small in comparison but it's highly recommended for foreigner (To Live) before wandering about the whole of Metro Manila and getting lost in it 😂😂the old Manila that the world knows which is "Intramuros" is just a very small part of the Metropolis now (N.C.R.) it will look like a prison camp from above 😂but having said all this they are all next each other and can easily get there minus the traffic 😂fly with the drone is a good idea🤣Folks do enjoy Metro Manila I wish I could 😒😒(London) Happy New to All.. MABUHAY.. Cheers.!! 👌👍😉😎✌
*batanes* is a haven for the philippines' richie rich it's quite expensive to go there, especially the 2-way plane ticket + there's only a few hotel / accommodation that's why, most of the philippines' richie-rich's bucket list is *batanes* accordingly, big part of batanes was developed by the ayalas in the 90s ayalas were the major developers of bgc, it park, and many other cbds / towncenters / malls nationwide i heard from a grapevine, *batanes* is actually one of the private sanctuaries of the ayalas
I got my haircut a week before Christmas almost white-side wall as I have thin hair. Easier to comb and saves on shampoo. And also no flying hair when the wind blows.
After holidays season it feels boring to hang up to malls unless you have more money to shop and dine. Most Filipinos this time think/plan where to spent during this coming summer season.This is the time to travel in the provinces and explore the beauty of the islands and experience the different Filipino tradition of festivals and fiestas. First in line is the SINULOG Festival in Cebu a week celebration it will be on the 2nd of January i think. Hope to see more content outside MetroManila. Explore and Enjoy! 😊💕
The easy workaround for the bank is: I transfer money from my UK bank account via online banking to my Maya account. It's easy and instant, with no transaction fee. Then I just either pay for stuff with Maya by QR code or Maya Visa card, or withdraw from ATM using Maya card with only Pesos 16/18 fee. I can transfer up to 500k Pesos per month into my Maya, according to my Maya limits. I can use my UK debit card in shops here with no transaction fee, but ATMs charge a fee here (a whopping Pesos 250 fee!).
Blondie's basically saying that her niece (daughter of her sister) happens to be older in age than her. But family tree-wise, Blondie's at the same branch/level with her sister, and the niece is a branch below them.
@@amaliahightower It would be the same. It just so happen that her niece was born earlier than she. A huge age gap can happen to siblings which can result to this example. Filipinos may have strict compliance to terminology between family relations though it is not usually divulged outside the family structure unless necessary or by circumstance.
Not sure if this is a lot of hassle to you. But, with Monzo, you can use its card anywhere around the world, including, the Philippines without charge. With HSBC, you will be charge per usage depending on how much you've spent.
I've lived in Asia for 35 years, last 4.5 years here in Manila. My UK bank doesn't charge me for using my card in shops, but the ATMs charge a fee if you withdraw cash.
i have cousins who call me ate even if they are like 5 and 8 yrs older than me, i told them i'm younger, but they insist i'm the ate coz my dad is older than theirs and i'm older by blood. i'm like tf, it's the first time i've heard that.

Its possible that she's the younger sibling. The kid of an older sibling is the one getting married. So shes older by blood. She's a Tita or an Aunt...
True! there is no place nor area in the whole of Bangkok that is comparable to BGC and Makati. Bangkok is an old city, spaghetti Wires everywhere. To date January 2024 still NO 3D Billboard, not even one. Road accident happens here everyday like crazy...+ the 2.5 PM Worst air quality.............

My siblings and their fam went to Tagaytay City where u can wear ur hoodie or sweatdshirt
Sinulog will be on January 21
Ey, that's the same HSBC branch I went to when I applied my credit card years ago. I'm pretty sure it's located along 5th Avenue. 👍
I’m invested in that HSBC application storyline. Maybe apply for a credit card there as well?
🎉🎉🎉
Beard Papas in the LA area is 5$ US. Double the cost there. And yes, them cream puffs are addicting
try should to go Tawi tawi south of the philippines

So were you able to do the HSBC errand?
Mergim is more handsome now ^ ^

older by blood means by their family generation

She should’ve said she’s her Aunt. Didn’t have to say older by blood which didn’t make sense at all especially explaining it to a foreigner 😂

I understand when she mean older by blood. I have a cousin but he is older than me like 10 yrs so my brother and his son are almost the same age.
Older by blood means: for example me and my cousin are far of age (he is 45 and im 20 of age gap) so my cousin children are like my sister or brother)
Sinulog 2024
i have an aunt who is younger than me, but i call her ate rather than tita (auntie). never heard of "older by blood". wonder what and how that is
i have cousins who call me ate even if they are like 5 and 8 yrs older than me, i told them i'm younger, but they insist i'm the ate coz my dad is older than theirs and i'm older by blood. i'm like tf, it's the first time i've heard that.

Going INTO banks these days no matter where you are seems to be a waste of time.....
not sure about that cut man, unless you plan on growing a moustache and buying a motorcycle cop outfit.

Huh? I don’t get that either…she’s older by blood? I get confused how these days Filipinos call everyone Lola, Kuya, Ate, Tita, Tito 😂 etc.
Its possible that she's the younger sibling. The kid of an older sibling is the one getting married. So shes older by blood. She's a Tita or an Aunt...
