Hello Yukis!
Today we’re cooking deep fried Oreos and chocolate bars.
While cooking we’ll be answering your question and answer haha 🤣
Thank you so much cause you asked lots of questions.
For the batter we need 100ml milk, 1 egg then mix the liquid ingredients first.
And the pancake mix is 150g.
The amount of ingredients for the batter is good for 9 Oreo cookies.
Let’s just mix it well.
And now let’s start frying!
First question, thank you Mark Rolan Alarcon!
Thanks Tot! I love you.
How do you cope with homesickness?
How do I cope with homesickness?
Especially in my case, I have a daughter so we always do video call as much as possible so she wouldn’t forget me.
I have a sister here and when I feel so lonely, I visit her.
I make myself busy.
I do some sort of things.
That’s why, I can sometimes hear strange noises coming from her room.
Talking to my parents, my boyfriend and my family like that
I hope everyone has a boyfriend 🤣
To Travel!
Yes we travel
But we don’t spend a lot of money, we just travel
Socialize with different people
Hanie Oh
How did you adjust in Japan at first? with the language barrier and culture?
On the first month, we just cried a lot.
We always cry at the same time.
1, 2, 3 (huhuhu) we’ll cry 😂
Then we also stop
1, 2, 3 (hahaha) we’ll stop 😂
Luckily our colleagues can speak English
and our ALT coordinator is from New Zealand he speaks great English.
He translates everything for us.
Yes that’s right and aside from that,
You really need to exert effort in studying Japanese.
We had an exam to survive.
As for the culture, it’s not that different
Cause they’re also Asian
Like us they’re family oriented
The only cultural difference is that they are so...
They wanted everything to be okay, clean and organized.
They value privacy and peace like that so
You can’t be negligent.
Next is Eds Mendoza
Edvi I miss you!
How did you guys come up working in Japan?
How long will you stay there and do you guys plan to come back after?
We have a vlog about that so please watch it. It explains how got here.
So far we’ve been here for years and counting.
We plan to stay until they keep on renewing our contracts.
Yes
But we also wanted to go home
We want to go home tomorrow.
How does it feel to be in Japan? I want to go and find a boyfriend there.
It’s cold, the air is fresh and makes your skin fresh too. What else?
It’s gratifying and it’s also fulfilling.
It’s like you are in a different world.
Yeah
Especially during winter.
It’s clean here and people are disciplined.
Everything is on time that you won’t be hassled for late schedule.
Study Japanese first cause you wouldn’t understand each other.
you’ll break up due to misunderstanding.
Alyssa Tique
How did working in Japan change your life? Miss you!
I miss you too.
I lost weight.
I have savings now.
It’s just sad that I’m far from my family and my daughter.
Like I said you’re not in your comfort zone.
We’re the only ones hugging each other here.
We don’t have a choice.
But there’s a big change in our lifestyle, lovelife (I don’t have that 😂)
Next question is from Christian Paul Abat
For Paul’s crush, he has a lot 🤣
Please say hi to him.
Yes he’s nice don’t ignore him.
Are Japanese really obedient?
Yes
Very much as in when you put a line, they’ll follow it strictly.
Imagine in operating a machine, our Japanese colleague asked me how to do it.
You know why?
Because she’s fond of fiddling on those stuffs
I keep on trying and pressing on the buttons but they don’t do that.
Are people there really nice?
Yes they really are.
Next sis Badeth
What is the most interesting part in/of Japan?
That they have preserved their traditional culture while aspiring for technological advancement.
They have maintained their temples and shrines but next to those you’ll see huge buildings.
Yes the places you see in Anime really exist.
They’re not imaginary.
I’m interested with their food because they’re really delicious.
Though Filipino taste is different,
Their food is healthy and there’s a lot of servings of different dishes
They don’t run out of meals.
Hi Gabriel Rusthtom!
What’s the difference in the lifestyle of people in Japan and in Philippines?
People here are more disciplined and when the Prime Minister says something they really follow that.
That’s why we didn’t have a lockdown.
They’re so quiet here.
The noisy ones are just the two of us.
When we don’t have work and it’s our day off, we just stay at home.
Unlike in the Philippines that we still do a lot of things even if it’s a day off.
Question from Michael Cruz.
How do Japanese men court women?
Based on the stories we heard from our colleagues and friends, it’s the women who make the first move.
Because the men are somewhat shy.
And it’s funny here cause when couples date they split the bill.
It’s not common that the men pays for everything and treat the women like that.
It’s normal to them.
Question from Franciarina Baron.
Hi Ciari my love!
What trait or culture of Japanese people do you think Filipinos should learn/adopt?
Respectful to all people.
Even the principal can clean the toilet and cut trees for the school.
Our principal make tea for visitors, he cleans.
Not because you are in the position you’ll look down on others.
Yes there should be respect for everyone you face.
Another is being on time, that’s right!
Even before we got here, we already know that Japanese people are on time.
They don’t get late and that’s true.
For example, in my case I always go to church.
I travel far but I know what time I’ll get there without being late.
From Ciari again, Cia I love you so much!
How do Japanese treat you or look at you when you go outside?
Just normal
They are so friendly, especially the elders.
They really find (gaikokujins) or foreigners interesting.
They won’t shy away or ignore you.
They’ll approach you and greet you.
And if they grew fond of you, they’ll give you free vegetables.
It’s because the elders really like to do gardening/farming here.
Don’t they find Neer weird?
You know what, she has great appeal to Japanese. No not at all.
You’re too much!
No it’s because she’s bubbly.
She’s so bubbly and jolly, she greets everybody.
So we receive free vegetables and other things.
The only lacking are free meals. 🤣
From Belle Calleja. Hi Belle!
Hi Bheng! Thanks for the question!
Maybelle said,
Where do you get off when you commute?
Is it the same here in the Philippines where you get off anywhere you want? I’m just curious.
No it’s not like that. There are designated areas for you to cross the street and get on/off the vehicle here in Japan.
They are really systematic and always follow the rules.
Even the bus stops have signs where to get on and off.
Next Catherine Baliyos.
Is it really beautiful there? I hope to get there too.
Is it really beautiful here?
Sis, can you see us? 🤣
Yes it’s pretty amazing here sis
The place is clean, people are disciplined, no pollution.
I’ll bring you here.
Next from Lerma Parulan Ovilla
Is this for real? So we can come back and make use of our Multiple Entry Visa.
The news you’ve mentioned that’s about the Japanese government helping with the travel expenses of local tourists only not international tourists.
There’s travel ban here and the Philippines is included in the list of countries who are not allowed to enter Japan.
So we’re sorry that you might postpone your travel here again.
Next is Brendalyn Barrios
Hi Brendalyn!
Hi dear! Miss you!
Ma’am what is the most popular place and food in Japan?
If the most popular there are many,
We can’t categorize them that this one is the most popular and this is the least popular.
It’s nice to visit Tokyo cause you can see the merging of traditional culture and modern times
and of the technological advancement in Japan
The most popular food here mostly are noodles (ramen, udon, soba) those
They have here cold soba or cold noodles
It’s yummy
It’s cold and good for summer
Sushi also like that
Next Mariel Fuentes Constantino
How to go on commute like thru bus or train especially those who can’t speak well in Japanese?
First thing that you have to do is to download Google Maps, there’s English part there
It has your destination, the schedule of your bus/train, and the platform too.
Everything is specified already.
So even if you’re not good in Japanese you can survive.
Next, if we’ll travel there with a limited budget, where is the nicest and cheapest place to go?
Same question with Daphney.
Thank you sis Michelle Lyn
If your budget is limited, you should go straight to Yokohama and Tokyo.
You’ll survive if there’s 7 eleven, Family Mart and Lawsons
You need ₱100,000 in your bank account for your tourist visa to be approved
Next is Carl Jommel Carnesil
Hi Carl!
What are the must sees and must-haves when traveling in Japan?
Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disneysea.
If you like Gundam, there’s a big Gundam statue there and old cars were preserved too
There in Diver City, Odaiba
It varies depending on your preference,
If you want entertainment, and you visit here to go to theme parks,
Then go to Disneyland, Disneysea, Universal Studios.
If you want to see temples then go to Asakusa, visit the Imperial Castle
For must-haves...
Cellphone and wifi
You’ll use Google translate and Google maps
Next Rose Ace Fuentes
Where is the nicest temple to visit and the best place for food trip?
If you have little kids, go to Disneyland or Disneysea they’ll enjoy there.
We haven’t been there but they said it’s nice to go to Hokkaido.
Because they have huge crabs and seafoods there.
Next is Ada De Guzman Laguitan
Hi ma’am Ada!
What is the scent of Cherry Blossom? How fragrant is it?
It’s as fragrant as your own flower 🤣✌🏻
It has no scent.
What attracts you isn’t the smell but it’s appearance.
Because after Spring it will be gone already.
That’s why there’s a time where the petals are falling (when it is being rained)
That's why it is more valued because they are only for a short span of time
It doesn’t stay.
We don’t like that right?!
Right?! Those who just disappear
