Growing Up in the Philippines as a Korean | My Story

Hey guys, this is a video that pretty much summarizes my life journey in the Philippines as a Korean. AND I am looking forward to more of it! I never made a full video on this one, and I thought you guys would be curious about it too! I honestly wished to make this video more delicately, but my will to upload the video as fast as possible ruined that. But I still hope you guys enjoyed this! :D

    great story it's totally the opposite of my experienced when i was back home i had the best and happiest life i had friends, crushes, girlfriends, and i felt love and i loved. it was a great feeling of love and life and it all ended when i was 14 when we came to USA. everything was the opposite the land is as distant as the people. the country is cold and so are the people i did not have friends and did not know how to speak english on top of that. after 3 months living in the US i was sad and lonely i missed my friends, the food, my girl, and my old life i was in my room crying and wanted to go home so bad. now years later i live in a different life yeah i own a house and a car without any payments i have opportunities that i could never have back at home i have dated but never took them seriously because it was not the same feeling i had back home the feel good feeling that you feel in your soul. there are many people out here that have many things because of the opportunities but are empty inside and in empty relationship the majority of divorced people in the world are in the US the same goes with obesity. our home might not be wealthy but it's blessed with good experience, good friends, love, and happiness it's a special place no other countries i've been to are as special. much love to my motherland you will always be in my heart.

    Jessica, I am a 44 years old English teacher in Thailand. I started my teaching career with foreigners about 14 years ago. Seeing this video made me feel emotional as I remembered how I met my very first students from Korea. It was hard for me the first time, but you are correct, food is always a good topic for communication and conversation. I used to work in a Korean family. I love them so much as they have treated me as their own. Now, it is my 7th year in Thailand, I really appreciate my Korean students and I am very grateful to them. Without them, I might not end up teaching English in Thailand. Korean students made me feel as a "good" teacher. They asked me difficult questions that persuaded me to research and study more about grammar. I really love this episode, I was teary eyed when I saw your old photos, fortunately I kept a lot of photos at home and everytime I go home to the Philippines, I open the box and look at them. it reminds me of everything, the culture, the laughters, the food, the hardships. I will never forget my Korean students from the first day we met and the day they had to depart and go back to Korea. You could see how they changed their attitude, I saw how they slightly adopted to Philippines and outlook in life. For many times I heard from them, Korea is a bit stressful country, competitive and people are serious. They are amazed when they see filipinos smile all the time even in a very difficult situation. Thanks for reading

In fact many many many Filipinos I know have said the same thing I have. And communal love? LOL. It is done to make sure that if they can't make it themselves, they will have others bail them out.

As a filipino who grew up and have lived in the states most of my life, I have just recently reconnected again with my birth country and can say I am proud to be a filipino. I am hoping to retire eventually back in the Philippines as I want the simple life and the warm people that the country can provide which I long for these days.

    This content of your channel makes me cry for the first time. I felt your genuine love for our country and most of all how you appreciate those people (my Kababayans) around you when you were still there even up to now. The idea of knowing someone like you (a foreigner) who appreciate us Filipinos makes me emotional. Thank you that through your channel you are showing in the world how to become a good example to many by embracing each other culture (not saying this because I'm a Filipino but i can perceive that you are such a wonderful person). We all know that in every country there's always flaws and imperfections in every way, but that's how the world is. We just have to look things in different ways such as putting our perspective in a positive way, learning to embrace and love each other culture and differences in that way we can make a difference. Every individual was molded of their life experiences into what they are now and I can feel that your experiences in the Philippines as well as in your country made you a great person, of course with the guidance and upbringing of your parents. I rarely leave a comment to videos but i noticed that i type too long of yours😉🤞❤
