    Happy Birthday Christina. Glad you mentioned Filipino social norms and put in a diplomatic way ,” navigating cultural shifts.” As a Filipino, I get miffed by some norms. But, I always take it with a grain of salt and say “ Pasensya na,” ( just be patient). But the Pinoy has a lot more redeeming qualities I think.
    Good vibes to you and your family🙏🏼👍🏼

    Belated happy birthday! I barely got back for a brief vacation there. I must say that the norms that you mentioned were on point. Discipline and courtesy are two essential values that are unfortunately missing when it comes to lines and traffic. It’s very frustrating. If they only knew how much life can be less stressful if only we participate in these values. We’re thinking of retiring there. Your videos is a good way to remind us that when we’re there in the Philippines, let us not loose all the good things that we have here in the US. Kudos to your sensible videos.

    I’m from so cal as well and was lucky enough to go to college out there. Please consider visiting Dumaguete and check out Silliman University. It is one of the top universities. It would be a great experience for the kiddos one day! Would be a great vlog visiting visayas like Dumaguete and Bacolod.
    Also I can relate to the social norms you adjusted to. I would wear leggings and jackets all the time to prevent mosquito bites. The cutting in line! Lol I think best advice is the heat out there is no joke, I feel like a lost my temper many times with the added heat. Take it easy and take in that free ac at the malls lol
    I dream of bringing my son there one day, he’s 4 yo

    We moved there from the US but whenever we buy groceries, we just go to the nearby towns just outside BGC to buy our fresh seafoods, vegetables, dry goods, etc. but when it comes to meat, we go to a meat shop or at SM Supermarket. It will save you a lots of money.

Hope you would consider to do so in the future

    I’m just like your husband born in the Philippines but moved to California at the young age of 7.
    I had similar experiences with locals cutting in line while I patiently waited for my turn. I don’t think waiting in line is taught in school there and maybe that’s why it’s a common practice. Your whole family should start a movement by wearing shirts that says “NO CUTSIES” 😂
    I did confront them on those multiple experiences and were apologetic.

    People cutting in line - rudeness - is universal . Happens everywhere.😒 But we did notice it more prevalent there every time we go home. Specially people who seem to be in the upper class - has to do with entitlement..or sometimes, the accepted practice for being in line is to really get close to the person in front of you...if there is a gap, they'll think you're not really in line...even if there are other people behind you. So be sure you're almost touching the person in front of you...
