Filipino New Year Prep: Food, Fireworks, and Fun!
New Year in the Philippines is like no other! In this vlog, I’m taking you behind the scenes as we cook a mix of traditional German and Filipino dishes, tackle some unexpected challenges (like buying a new gas stove!), and set up for the big night. From preparing potato salad with a twist to sharing the chaos and joy of our New Year’s Eve celebration, this video is all about the fun, food, and unforgettable moments of welcoming 2025!

      Thank you for your feedback. I have captions in English, so everything is translated to be accurate to what I say. My viewers are 80% Filipino, that's why I like to mix it with the local language :) I made the video quicker, since I wanted it to be a short video, but I'll watch out in the next video to keep the pace a bit slower. Thanks!
