CAN I MAKE IT IN MANILA? | Learning Tagalog, Creative Industry & Family Ties | Martin Solhaugen
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Hey everyone! So, I'm moving to Manila in the Philippines, and it's super exciting! I used to live in Honolulu for a bit, but this move is special because of my wife, Ave, and all the exciting things happening in the UA-camr and influencer scene in Manila. While in Manila, I'm going to visit a friend who makes awesome movies in a place called Poblacion in Makati. It's like a super cool part of town with lots of artsy things happening. I want to learn all about making films and other creative stuff in Manila, so it's going to be fun! Also, guess what? I'm trying to learn Tagalog, which is the language they speak there. It's tricky but also pretty cool. I'm hoping to chat and laugh with my family in Tagalog soon! Apart from that, I want to learn about the world of advertising and events in Manila. It's all about meeting new people and understanding how they do things in the marketing world. Oh, and I'm also getting a new suit made, just to look sharp in my new city. 😉 Stay tuned and join me on this fun journey in Manila! I think it's going to be a blast!

So many things happening in Manila for us! Thank you so much for watching the vlog guys! What was your favorite part?😄
Everything 👏👏👏
As long Marve is in it all of it my fav❤
Way to go dearies you both make a great couple with all the good vibes. The very best Martin in your new country, I know you'll make it with Ave by your side.
Btw your hair looks great and Ave too all dressed up 😍.
I liked the whole vlog. Very entertaining and there was never a dull moment. Thank you 👏👍
Amazing, interesting and fun video! Thanks for sharing! Manila is such an exciting city! I always spend a few days there every time I go home to the Motherland to the province where many of my relatives still live. In April this year a nephew of mine found an abnb for us on the 45th floor with a view of BGC and Pasig River and a bunch of high-rises. It was a two-bedroom, vintage-themed, beautiful place. Interesting vintage collection ! ❤️❤️❤️
man cave of jc’s!
Jay C ‘s appartement is like a vintage museum , so original , his hair looks cool too😚. Can’t wait the to watch Ave’s video content with Jay C.
Yeah! Such a nice place. Definitely a inspiration 😄🤘🏼
Martin, I really appreciate your(crew) time in typing up word content of your blogs. Very detailed and always fun watching!
We loved to share quality contents that you guys deserved 🙌🏻!!
You’re doing a great job learning Tagalog Martin.Thumbs up!!!❤
Yay! Thank you! I am doing my best. It’s not easy. It’s been so many years since last time I had to learn a new language ☺️
ave is very fresh with her new hairstyle.
i'm happy to see martin the pretty boy next door around with his dear wife.
Thanks a lot 🙌🏻! You’re amazing! Appreciate yiur support to us!

We feel your excitement & eagerness to keep on, to become better if not the best in whst you do and enjoy as you go along. That's MARVE our power couple.❤❤ God bless---
Thank you so Much for this comment. We strive to become better everyday❤️😊😊
Never a boring moment watching this cool couple. Ave always looks refreshing wherever whatever. You rock guys! 👍
I'm glad that you guys loved our Manila update life 🙌🏻😃!!
Glad you two are able to call Philippines home. Haven't been there because yeah I'll admit it, kind of afraid of long flights and heights, lol.
Hope the best for your journey together, life will just get interesting from there, lol. She's your keeper Martin!
Were both lucky to have each other 😃!
Medel is also my son’s Tagalog teacher online. I know him from your instagram story. Thanks Martin because of you I easily found a Tagalog teacher for my son.
Oh wow! That’s nice. Hello to your son. 🙌🏻🙋🏼♂️!!
MarVe’s ❤️❤️life in Manila Philippines will be fine with God’s grace 🙏 😮. Be grateful for our blessings. 😢 With your families’s support no problem. Family bonding on Sundays are happy moments 🤡 . Thanks for this very entertaining vlog Martin . With
your pretty loving talented wife Ave there is never a dull moment n more financial gains too 💲💲! Good luck n God bless 🙏 .
Sunday is family day indeed 🙌🏻! Do you do family day as well? 😃
Yes we eat outside as a family on Sundays too 🥰
You’ll be ok living in Manila, so many opportunities for you guys and also a good family of Ave. Good luck to all your endeavours. God bless.
Yeah, looking forward for more projects here in Manila 🙌🏻!!
Good job with your Tagalog, Martin! I'm pretty sure within a year (if you're serious) you will be fluent in our dialect. You even learned about our tradition when greeting Ave's parents and older relatives. I love that!
Thank you! I will try my best. It’s not that easy but I am doing lessons as often as I can ☺️☺️
My best friend's husband is an American and they have been married for 25 yrs. He speaks fluent tagalog. He converses in tagalog with other Filipinos. Don't worry!@@martinsolhaugen
I like your hair, dear Avelovenit. Martin is trying different styles as well. Great!
Thank you! 😃 yeah. Evolution 🫢🤭🤭
More power to Marve blogs. God bless you both.
Stay tuned for more travel vlogs 🙌🏻!

Ohh Martin I liked the way you're planning " to adopt the family Sunday's get together for the future!" That's the best part of your Manila's life here in the vlog! I missed those happy times since my family were still living close together in Los Angeles; thank you for showing how Makati looks now! ❤️❤️❤️
Learning and practicing the filipino culture 🙌🏻😃!
@@martinsolhaugen yes.. pick the most you like! ❤️❤️
Hello..Martin...you and Ave should always talk or communicate each other in Tagalog dialect ...one way to learn and practice the connecting words and accents. Like the American Vlogger "Kuya Jake" with a Filipna wife...he's good now in Tagalog (they speak Tagalog & Iocano dialect at home). It's only my suggestions...And Congratulations ! You're slowly becoming a Norpinoy !!! Have a good day always with Ave wherever you are.
Thank youuuu.
Hi Angie! Yeah, slowly becoming a filipino. Thanks a lot for watching as always 🙌🏻!
Love watching you guys!
Thank you, Carla 😃!!

Ave!!! Your hairstyle suits you well❤️
I agree!!👌🏼
My God Ave. So many layers and sides to you. Yet, you dont let it go to your head. You stay humble. Thats your secret. When you know you are that kind of wonderful but you try to keep a lid on it. Impressive. Your friend, he is out of the box. He is a very unique fish. Very intelligent and creative. Genius! Ave is ready to step into her new season. Mama Ave. Ave Maria.
Dont be so hard on Martin. He is trying.
Martin is trying 👌🏼! Hehe. Fun times in Manila. Thanks for watching the vlogs ☺️☺️
Sound is good
Thank you!☺️☺️
Did all these activities in this vlog happened in one day, Martin? If yes, that was a looong and full day! You'll never get bored if your day is as full as this!
What I want to hear is You practicing your Tagalog (Filipino Language) so you'll get used to it...
The best part is the 'Sunday Family get together", that will make family bond together/ stronger!
No it happen 2 to 3 weeks ago 😃!! Thanks a lot Sally for your love and support as always. I’m eager to learn tagalog now as we will spend more time here in the Philippines 🙌🏻!! Have a great weekend.
Hey Marve . Do you prefer living in Manila over Norway ? Have fun with your filipino fam.
At this stage in our lives it’s more fun in Manila than in Norway 😊😊

I like the whole content of this vlog. It is so cool - especially the bonding time with Ave’s family and with an old friend.
Shout out to Paulo Lazaro for the nice barong tagalog he tailored made for you. Fits you well. Ave’s choice of a pair of “bakya” at Tesoro’s is nice too.
Ave, the model is beautiful - then and now. Simple and full of confidence.
Thank you Martin. I enjoyed watching (including the ADS). As always you are the best storyteller.
I like the outfits. Both you and Ave looked great in the entire film.
More power to MARVE. Abundant blessings keep on coming. God bless.👏🙏👩❤️👨
BTW, magaling ka ng magsalita ng tagalog. Proud of you 👍
Shout out to the Paulo’s who made my barong 🙌🏻!!
@@martinsolhaugen: 👏👏👏
❤❤❤

The barong suit is awesome but a bit tight on the chest. Am sure you guys are going to look great in Filipiniana. Mabuhay! 💗👌

So Pinay beauty no cheek bones with flat nose. Congratulations
You seem like a happy person ❤️❤️!!!
Doing mano po, is the most Filipino thing you can do, Martin. Specially to your in-laws. Anyway, the best way to learn to a language faster is to practice it as much as you can.
I’m learning the culture 🙌🏻! Practicing it as always as well! Thanks a lot for watching!
