1. saw you in Haley Dasovich's vlog on Coachella, cradling a bag of chips;
2. saw you with the Fung Bros eating night market treats in Taiwan;
3. saw you eating loads of lechon in your Cebu vlog;
I am from Cebu, currently working in Taiwan, am subscribed to the channels of the personalities mentioned above, and you exude a happy and energetic personality like Kyle "Kulas" Jennerman of Becoming Filipino
so
as of April 30, 2017. at around 13:30, I officially subscribed to your channel.
Aw Alain THANK YOU! Can't believe you found me everywhere, you're awesome! Welcome to this channel ❤
o wow she was in haley's vlog? gona watch it now that's cool... Has she met Wil?
Saw it... NICE!
She was in a Fung Bros. vid? There's a good chance I watched that but don't remember her. Lol. And I know of Haley Dasovich, but I don't watch her vids. TJ is hanging out w/ famous friends now. Lol.
You are making me want to visit the Philippines more and more with each new Vlog!! Such a beautiful country!
It seriously is soooo beautiful ;---; Gotta figure out a way to make Philippines a yearly trip!
CupofTJ I'm glad to see you enjoying it :D
After watching this vlog we finally made our way to Siquijor and stayed at this wonderful resort and even stayed in the same bungalow as TJ!! If you are reading this TJ, thank you so much for introducing us to this "hidden gem". You are right it's a small island that is truly magical with it's many beautiful quaint coves, beaches, waterfalls and the friendliest locals we've ever met! Oh and Bong and Rene say hi! Bong considers you the nicest volgger he ever met and speaks very highly of you - I totally agree!
Cows to mow the lawn, ecofriendly and all natural i guess.. ;) happy beautiful lady, keep it up!
Hahah so true!! Thank you Ronulfo :D

the fruit is called tyesa or chesa in tagalog, not sure what it is in siquijan dialect if they don't speak tagalog. it tastes kinda like sweet potato.
Come back to philippines. How you speak and present yourself is really joyful.

YESS CAT LADIES UNITE
Great vlog TJ.........!
Thank YOU Scott :D
TJ...love the excitement in your voice , the energy and the enthusiasm! I'm glad to see that you are having a great time. Just make sure you put on insect repellent if you are going to go for a walk at night. Like you said it's not tourist season so the bugs are going to focus on you. The pizza did look really good!
Thank you so much! And haha yes, I think the insects started treating me like a local 😂
no...they don't like the locals...they want to taste new blood. lol. BTW guess what I had for dinner? Pizzzzaaa!!! Power of suggestion...from the magic island?
Now those are some views 👌 The place your staying looks so peacefull TJ & you have good wifi, what more could you ask for haha 😃
HAHA YESSS so true :D
I will vote for you for whatever it is. You are such a natural fun person. Salamat po (thank you respectfully in filipino).
Have fun girl !!!
You got it Raul :)!!
Love the place where you're staying!
YESS! Island hideout indeed ❤
just subbed!I'm originally from Cebu, can't wait to go back! 😁😚
HELLO!!! Cebu's an awesome place :D
pinoy mango shakes are the best! but you should try the watermelon and cantaloupes shakes too while they're in season :)
WHATT they sound so deliciouss!!
stayed up all night just to watch your vlogs. glad you had fun hear in the PH. hope to see you here again someday..(new subscriber here btw) hehehe
Smart move to deliberately skip the touristy areas, good for you. In your face western media, you proved the NYT and British shitty media wrong that PH is unsafe. You are actually on an island that is already part of Mindanao.
Bottom line, travelers should do some research like what you did, take the risk, and you'll get the best of everything.
An excellent vlogger, a natural storyteller that exudes confidence and respect.
Subscribed!
Dennis, thank you for this comment! Absolutely, take a little risk and you may get a paradise such as this!Welcome to my channel, appreciate the love ❤
🤔 Isn't Siquijor in Central Visayas?
@@ranma9823 yes, siquijor province is part of central visayas and not mindanao. Thanks for educating me.
I admire you you're not scared traveling alone, and the places you go to are amazing!
Thank you so much! Most of these places are a lot safer than people imagine. TY for your comment Dengzee!
i was afraid that you'll be afraid of the island after the story we told you. great that you enjoyed it!
I SURVIVED~
so amazing! 😊
Thank you :D
that pizza looks amazing!! mostly bc you added corns
Nice blog.. Great place.
I have never seen a girl so brave like you :)
Happy you are enjoying here in the phil
I LOVE YOU!!!!
---from San Miguel of Philippines
:') THANK YOU!!!
LOVE YA BACK SAN MIGUEL~!
The pizza looks so delicious. Yummo:)
Hehe nomnomnom
Haha another great vid!! I am loving this channel lately! I can't stop watching lolol! Keep up the amazing work! I am really impressed with the quality vids you are beginning to submit lately :). I already can't wait for what's next!!! You're the best! Have a nice day! :)
should have given your name to the sign man as a cup of tj ^^
HAHAH you're right :D!
Yes the mangoes in the Philippines are sweet, specially those that are from the Visayas region (some of the places you were in like Dumaguete, Cebu, Siquijor, Bohol) and I think I've read that the sweetest ones are from the Guimaras Island. The famous ones are from Cebu (because of their dried mango products) My American uncle makes it a point to eat Philippine mangoes whenever they spend their vacation in the Philippines. He first had a taste of it during the 80's when he came here to meet my aunt. I think fresh Philippine mangoes are not readily available in the US mainly because more than 90% harvested is consumed locally heheheh
Whoa good to know Alain! The mangos were seriously the sweetest :X and I'm from Taiwan where fruit is super sweet too! I drank a lot of mango shakes in the Philippines hahah
you got a best editing skill ever . . .
Awesome video. ❤️
TY so much love ❤
Way to go with exploring the hidden gems! I, for one, would've never thought of visiting that island though I've only been to like 5 cities in the phils 🙈 When I retire, I wanna be like TJ. 👌🏼
OH STAPP IT GURL
Yep, try Panay Island. You need may be two weeks to have a good grasp of things to do and see. Start in Iloilo City for its historical landmarks and local cuisine. Go to the east of the province to explore the Gigantes Islands. Back to the mainland Panay, go north to Roxas City for its seafood. From Roxas City, go west toward Aklan. Spend sometime in Kalibo City and explore the Bakhawan Mangrove Park. Gather your courage to try tamilok. Go west toward Boracay. Spend sometime in Tangalan and enjoy the Jawili Falls and Jawili Beach. The beach is very light brown sand and not touristy. Nearby is Bugtongbato Beach and Bugtongbato Natural Mangrove Park of Ibajay town. If you dread going to Boracay, just go straight to Pandan Antique from Ibajay. Explore the whole of Antique from north to south. This province is a gem. From San Jose Buenavista you can return to Iloilo City. Be sure to spend time in Mararison Island, or see the Bugtongbato Falls in Tibiao and above all try the unique kawa bath. Did I say there is also rice terraces in San Remegio, Antique? Be safe and enjoy.
WHOA! I got to screenshot this comment, so may good recomemndations. Thank you Willie :D! I appreciate you!
what a nice accomodation....
I wish I could travel like you do.You're an awesome vlogger.Just subbed.
I stayed here last year while traveling Phillipines love siqijour and love Bobong 💜
YOU DID? YAY!!! Isn't it amazing? They are so nice and the place is lovely!
+CupofTJ yep it was luxury for us backpackers we loved it. We was only there 2 days but could of easily stayed more. Siqijour is beautiful!
HAHAH YES!! I was freaking out cause I've been sleeping in hostels. The last one was 10 beds and one ridiculously nasty bathroom x_x you know how that feels...
love your vids... more pls :)
THANK YOU! And you got it ❤
Hi great stuff.
Thank you Chris!
ooh, this island and hotel seem like a great place to visit will hopefully make a trip there when I next go to the Philipines now I've seen this vlog :) Thank you! keep up the great vlogs, so awesome :P
YESSS I hope you visit as well
your leaf romper is so cute!! I'm always on the hunt for rompers with designs on 'em
OOO yes girl :D I actually got this custom made in Vietnam...can you guess for how much???
$17! And it was tailored!
looking forward to tomorrow's vlog.
+Jerico L thank you Jerico! It's coming 😍

Aw shucks, thank you!!

Definitely thinking of one right now :D thank you so much!!
I love your being positive Love2X 😊💛💛
Thank you so much Nhaima ❤
Love2X you :D
love it!!!
Thank you so much ❤
Watching all ur vlogs! Nice! One suggestion, I would put a snap on case for the MacBook, and then even put that into a neoprene sleeve. I've had people board late and force their hard sided case on top of my bag. It's cracked the case but that's all. Coworker has had screen cracked. If traveling a lot it makes a huge difference as well as providing a bit of shock dampening.
I just love your videos esp. with the bubbly personality! Are you still in the Philippines by the way?
THANK YOU! Appreciate that so much. And no these are later vlogs but I'm definitely planning on coming back asap :)
That yellow-orange fruit you pointed at in your vlog is called "atis". It's rich in vit A. It tastes like sweet potato or pumpkin, usually eaten when ripe.
awesome video, as always
Shucks, thank you so much ❤ have a great weekend wherever you are :D
CupofTJ

Can't wait for the next vlog. Just one thing though. I hope you are fine 'cause at first you sounded rough like you are about to have some flu. Make sure to have a good rest.
Aw thanks Simon! Hahah I think it was just running around trying to catch the ferry
Hi TJ! The fruit/tree is called Tiesa (English) or Tisa (local language). We also have that in Cebu 😘
10000000 POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR~!!
