  • @somehacker9031
    @somehacker9031 Před 10 měsíci +9

    Very cool interview, Pea! Wow, there was a LOT unexpected here. To start with, I never even thought of the concept of a 100% Filipino, born and raised in the United States, who then moved permanently or semi-permanently to the Philippines. I have had some very good friends that were 100% Filipino, that were born and raised in the U.S., but they were just like Evan, knowing nothing about the Philippines and they certainly never seriously thought about going back there to live. One of them, aged around 22-26 when I knew her, ended up buying a BMW after getting a fairly high paying job on the West Coast. So, yeah, she was fully Westernized. To me the fact they were Filipino meant nothing, because they seemed like typical Americans, no different than myself, and they were not different.
    The next unexpected thing was Evan saying his true age is 19. That was a shocker. I was thinking 27 or 28 and I even saw another comment saying 28, so it's not just me. I think it's the level of easy tactfulness, intelligence and maturity he demonstrated. He is officially "Gen Z" and that gives me hope. So many in that category are wayyyy off, in terms of desirable characteristics when it comes to behavior or attitude. We need quality people, especially youth, like Evan to remain in the U.S., so it doesn't completely go downhill! I also love the concept of Evan = Pea, just opposite. Very cool description.
    The last thing I'd say is that guy is like designing a "dream guy" Terminator. He is clearly good looking, but he has the appeal of being a knowledgeable, educated "foreigner" to locals, while at the same time being native to the land in terms of heritage/belonging. So that means (I guess) that he is allowed own land (?) and start businesses etc. with all the welcome of any other Filipino, right? The way things work in the U.S., we have birthright citizenship, which means if a U.S. citizen has a child that is born outside the U.S. that child is still a full U.S. citizen. I'm guessing something like that is true with the Philippines. And Evan is not yet in his strongest years for male desirability, since he is only just starting to obtain a lot of valuable wisdom and (I'd guess) valuable resources. Success on CZcams can of course help in that department. I wish him the best of success!

    Not having ice cold fresh milk in the Philippines was my #1 food item I missed when staying in Manila. I finally found fresh milk at S&R (Costco) but priced $6-$8 a gallon compared to $1.99-$2,49/gallon in Indiana. It is shipped in from California and tastes like home. You must consume it within 7-10 days which is no problem. My Asawa always has fresh milk and Pepsi (which is not always easy to find) for me when I arrive in our home in Parañaque.

It took me about two decades to realize it's better to get along and be a friend to the competition. Evan may be only nineteen but mature for his age and obviously a product of good parenting. I know guys who are thirty nine and act nineteen so maturity depends on the person not the age so much. The older one gets the wiser they become, not necessarily more mature.

    Great interview pea. I loved his explanation of the type of woman he sought. It’s also mine. I’m bored with subservient women or opinion-less ladies, but i have a hard time differentiating a latent tendency of someone who “meets me, likes me, loves me, now change” from a woman who simply says i’m a good guy and please stay the way you are.

    I initially moved to Bangkok and characterized it similarly - a very modern international city above the skytrain and very urban Thai at the street level. A bit of both local and international. I also wanted to live in a big city for the first time and I am glad I did. I would be bored residing by the beach.

She said OK and asked if we could take her grandmother with us because she had never been. I said, I'd think about it. Then she said her aunt would be back from abroad and she wanted to bring her along too. I said Sweetheart. I really just want so spend such special time with you. She said, you are so sweet. Hehehehehe!! Thanks Pea.

      And do you explain it to every single person you meet? Cause I’m assuming others keep talking to him in Tagalog and he only responds in English. You can’t just explain your life story to every single random stranger lol. Yet they might see you cocky by speaking English only.

      @@manchesterr85Yes. I explained it to every person who conversed with me. Is that a problem? 🤷🏾‍♂️ I didn’t explain it to service workers, but they also didn’t give me any impression that they thought I was stuck up.
      It doesn’t take any more than 30 seconds to tell them what provinces my family is from and that I’m from the states, so it’s not exactly a life story. They’re always very excited to hear that I am from both worlds and start asking even more questions.

      @@jonestraloma that’s you, and not everyone is the same. But when someone speaks to a Filipino looking guy in Tagalog and he can’t respond or only responds in English, I can see how others look at him as cocky, arrogant person. There are millions of situations when you don’t wanna disclose your background or you’re just tired of doing it and others will obviously label you for not wanting to communicate in “your native language” Even if it’s a temporary situation, I can definitely feel his pain. Maybe he has a much bigger network than you and meets up with much more (new) people than you. :) and he’s tired of starting with: hey nice to meet you I grew up in the USA and nobody speaks Tagalog in my family. It’s awkward either way.

      Not having ice cold fresh milk in the Philippines was my #1 food item I missed when staying in Manila. I finally found fresh milk at S&R (Costco) but priced $6-$8 a gallon compared to $1.99-$2,49/gallon in Indiana. It is shipped in from California and tastes like home. You must consume it within 7-10 days which is no problem. My Asawa always has fresh milk and Pepsi which is not always easy to find) for me when I arrive in our home in Parañaque.
