I moved here to Cebu City from Thailand. I'm going back as soon as my lease is done. For an allegedly English speaking country...comprehension seems to be utterly lacking.
Jealousy and spite is a global phenomena. I think the best way to deal with is to ignore it even though it may be hard to do it. You wont change their minds and will just lower yourself to their level.
You do understand that in every town in the Philippines. It is considered someone's territory. And how they make their money. Ans so..... when a female "freelancer" enters another female's domain. The local female is going to make it clear that she is trespassing. So... if you go to one of the local bars, talk to the waitresses and bartender and explain that you will take care of them. This shows respect, understanding and at the same yime they will make money. But don't be surprised if something happens to your drinks. Especially the female's drink. They still may sent a don't come back message to her.
As I get older and hopefully wiser I find that being conciliatory works better than punching someone in the nose. Well... usually. "Is everything alright?" "Are you ok?" Disarms people and puts it back on them. Usually the offender will be contrite. If they want to fight, just walk away.
Yes, jealousy is a mix of envy, fear of missing out and anger that others might seem better. Best to ignore it if you can. Great to see you both looking so happy together!
It's not jealousy, it's the way women compete. Men fight with the body; women fight with the mind. So much of what we see today is the human animal, not a human being. Animals live in the moment, animals satisfy immediate desires, animals 'do whatever they want'. Self-control, rules, discipline and respect make us people.
I think you Mia, were correct. At the subconscious emotional level, at least, many assumptions are made about strangers, on the basis of their appearance. Our brain's limbic system is not rationally oriented. ........... Love your channel.
She went about everything the right way. It was jealousy rightfully so you are happy, blessed, and confident. This happens a lot to strong, confident, bright women here all of the time.
I like the chemistry of this couple. I know this can work like a dream, when a smart, professional guy is paired up with a Filipina like this. She’s remarkable also and the feminine opposite. They complement each other. I know a few couples like this and they only get better with time. I could see that potential, so I was happy to see them married and carrying on like champs.
Hi Mia /Paul,,, Paul is exactly right in his analogy,,, over her in the UK we call it bitchiness,,, something that women world wide are first class at doing/being. Be a better person either give them a nice compliment or ignore it and walk away the better person. (which you are).People like that arnt worth wasting your breath on.She probably wouldnt of said anything if she was on her own,,, she just wanted to feel bitchy in front of her mate. Best wishes
It is always nice to see you both in the same video like this one and have interesting conversations. Paul it is nice to see you again, i did make some comments on your video, so have fun guys as always Mia your English is next to perfect so just don't mind others lol Be safe and make hey while sun shines bye for now :)
As I commented on Paul's Asian Adventure, good to see you two back together. I really enjoy the natural banter between you two. Mia, you have really grown in confidence over the years and I don't think Paul will catch you on number of subscribers . . .
I agree with Mia. Mike from the Phillipines addressed what Mia said with his special guests yesterday. Crab mentality. It’s very important for foreigners to know this getting involved with Filipinas/Filipinos
It’s so important to ignore others and their opinions even if they gossip about you or make comments about you. Your power is to observe and give a smile and carry on unaffected with the power of your mind and emotional control. That’s your leverage and personality edge over others and very powerful to learn and apply as needed. Just my opinion. Best wishes for you both and your future.❤😊
Being British there is something very sexy when a Filipina speaks with an English accent, especially a London cockney accent, also it’s very rare if done well. If I heard that in the street it would definitely get my attention 😊
Markers of social class are a big deal in much of the world. It’s something I realize more and more as the years pass. In the USA/Canada/Australia/UK at present they’re often linked to which political ideas one mentions and one’s word choice. I really hate how constraining it can be. People can almost dismiss the value of people who do not obviously have a university degree.
My wife of course has a non-filipino last name, speaks good english and especially with our son, age 16, people do tend to treat her differently. They do make assumptions, and often, they are correct.
I have met many filipinas that just went to pubic schools that speak very good english. It's about their attitude to learn english not the type of school.
Well this is a complete shock to me... I thought all Phillippino spoke english. I had no idea that only a very small number of Filipino girls speak English to a fluent standard and it's limited to those educated in private schools - and from families with money. My belief was even the poorest girls spoke great english. Now I have a better understanding that searching for the right girl will be harder. ( Criteria... Slim.. Pretty.. Humble.. Speaks English.. Cheerful ) Looks like Paul won the lottery with Mia !
I'm in MINDANAO and very little actually SPEAK good ENGLISH, they might understand a few words but it's difficult to have conversations and I have to repeat myself many times, most of the time they just STARE at me with silence like a DEER in the headlights🦌🤦♂️
Hi guys...hope all is well, you guys are a wonderful and inspirational couple. You are the evidence that love can conquer all. Have you guys chimed in on the Dramaguete scandal with Scuba Chef and Rufina?
Expats, pay very close attention to this video. Because this is how vindictive a lot of Philippino women can be. Also, these towns are controlled by certain groups. And if a female outsider or freelancer enters another local woman's territory. They are going to make it clear to that trespasser that this is someone else's territory. The "dating game" in the Philippines is extremely serious.
Best to ignore ignorant people, They are not worth it, but i do understand you. Mia you are a beautiful lady, My wife has had this happen to her here in America, but luckily after being with me she knows how to react to ignorant people. And yes women are the worst at it, so much jealousy.
Yep, that sounds like "crab mentality" to me too. I think it's best to stay "grounded" in your calm frame and not stoop down to their level of bad behavior so that person realizes that they didn't succeed in having any effect on your well being.
OMG Mia, who is “that” guy??? Wait, wait, he looks a little familiar, haha, hmmm 🤔. No way, no way, is that Paul, 😮😮😮??? Just kidding, lol, where have you been hiding him, ha ha? Anyway, you have been, and always will be, my favorite couple, 😉😎👍🏼❤️❤️. Thank you for letting the poor a day out of his room, and sharing him with us, 😎😉👍🏼.
Hard to realize that age gap prejudice exists. 😮. Yeah it's crab mentality based in jealousy. As you mature, you realize that age doesn't matter. Some die young while others grow old. Forget about your age. Live your life.
Hon that just comes with the territory best to smile dust off comments or snickering . They will do anything for attention even the bad kind do to their deep seeded insecurities . Rise above it and move along . 😊
Did you watch Pepa Pig or other British cartoons growing up? That may explain your very cool British accent. I've noticed many ladies on Negros have that accent
Hi Mia, my opinion is an attitude and somewhat jealous, you were walking with a foreigner in Makati the business Centre of the Philippines, and one thing i have come across is if the girls detected you may have been Visayan, girls sort of don't mix, l am not sure what it is but if you looked at numbers you would find most foreigners go for Visayan girls. Even in bars not that l go there but I know from my younger days the most beautiful come from Visayas. Good to see husband Paul back and best wishes for the future and God Bless, 🙏
Wait .... Are you guys in the USA? Paul you've told men years not to bring Filipina to USA. What changed bro? 😂😂. I'm happy for both of you. Ya all look happy. It's all that matters.
Hi Mia, I took a sabbatical for few months and I am glad to see you back with Paul. When did you tie the knot Mia? Congratulations. Finally Paul caved in. Hooray. BTW Paul has mellowed down after his trip to Texas.
it looks like you ran into a Filipina Karen ha ha, I watched the Filipina pea she was not in the US for a week before she ran into a Florida Karen trying to call her out on her stars and stripes swim wear lol there will always be some people that will think they have the right to share there thoughts out loud, and I agree what your husband has said, it speaks volume about them, that is why I agree when you said Jealousy, either you are gifted to be a fast learner or you use hard work, it seem they have neither, back in the day we use to say it takes a piss pour individual that try to make others look or feel bad so that they would look or feel good about them selves, I watch a Korean movie just throw salt over your shoulder and walk away when that happens ha ha, like the feel of your channel..
Old school, colonialism way of thinking about people who speak English. What happens when a person teaches self. The asinine rationale that the person has a higher pedigree is just that...asinine.
No. You don't have to be rich to learn English well. It's just that, for the most part, we see it in our society that kids that are born into rich or middle-class families speak English well because of their upbringing. Maybe in their household, the parents speak English all the time, but in the household, especially the poor household, we tend to speak Cebuano more than English.
I moved here to Cebu City from Thailand. I'm going back as soon as my lease is done. For an allegedly English speaking country...comprehension seems to be utterly lacking.
Paul made some great points Mia. Women, worldwide, tend to undercut each other.
Jealousy and spite is a global phenomena. I think the best way to deal with is to ignore it even though it may be hard to do it. You wont change their minds and will just lower yourself to their level.

Paul’s right on a lot of levels . I like seeing you two laughing and happy it does my heart good

Nice video Mia. Thank you for sharing this with us. Take care.🤙
Both of You brought up great psychological and common sense points !! That also can apply worldwide !!! 👏 👏 !!!

The best part of this video is the interaction between yourself and your husband. Nice.

Your English is awesome and you seem very intelligent. Best of luck to you and I hope that you are extremely successful in your life and with TH-cam .

Mia, good to see you have a celebrity on your show.
I have met many filipinas that just went to pubic schools that speak very good english. It's about their attitude to learn english not the type of school.
Nice to see Paul, hope to see you in Cebu.

Paul are you both in Cebu and are you working in the USA but on Holiday? Your wife is beautiful inside and out….Hi Mia😊
Neither. We're here in Saudi. He's working here full time.
Thank youuu

The games people play..🙂
And we're all doing it our own way!...🙃
But to fine tune it would be with sensitivity!..❤️
What it boils down to is never argue with an idiot, because you will never win and they will still be an idiot!
Best to ignore ignorant people, They are not worth it, but i do understand you. Mia you are a beautiful lady, My wife has had this happen to her here in America, but luckily after being with me she knows how to react to ignorant people. And yes women are the worst at it, so much jealousy.
Where is the interview with Nils? The link is not there!😮
th-cam.com/video/V1B6-oUBxt4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gCL4pdEmBET4efQC
Hi , A suggestion, Can you interview some of your filipina friends so We can see some intelligent and sweet , pretty friends of yours.
She's not in the PHILLIPPINES she's in DUBAI☺
Yep, that sounds like "crab mentality" to me too. I think it's best to stay "grounded" in your calm frame and not stoop down to their level of bad behavior so that person realizes that they didn't succeed in having any effect on your well being.
Hi Paul…good to see you.😊
Crabs in a bucket, or rats in a box, the human jealously is ugly to witness indeed. Rise above them. Ignore their pettiness. ❤
you know what they say misery loves company.
BPO: Business Process Outsourcing
Business Process Outsourcing.
Interesting! “Whilst” and “reckon” are super British. Did you learn British English in school?
OMG Mia, who is “that” guy??? Wait, wait, he looks a little familiar, haha, hmmm 🤔. No way, no way, is that Paul, 😮😮😮??? Just kidding, lol, where have you been hiding him, ha ha? Anyway, you have been, and always will be, my favorite couple, 😉😎👍🏼❤️❤️. Thank you for letting the poor a day out of his room, and sharing him with us, 😎😉👍🏼.
Yeah smart to not escalate a situation like that…..😊
Hard to realize that age gap prejudice exists. 😮. Yeah it's crab mentality based in jealousy. As you mature, you realize that age doesn't matter. Some die young while others grow old. Forget about your age. Live your life.
It is just jealousy, happens in all countries.
good video. it was smart not to confront the girl. Dont waste time playing in the gutter.
Yes, for the most part, I try not to confront. I don't want to add fuel to the fire.
She is so pretty and cute. How old are you guys? Not judging. Just asking.
Any hope any outdoor videos?
Yah, planning on it.
Hon that just comes with the territory best to smile dust off comments or snickering . They will do anything for attention even the bad kind do to their deep seeded insecurities . Rise above it and move along . 😊
U got yourself a good Filipina Paul
😎 COOL ViDEO PAULiE & MiA ✨️💪💯...
Thank you, Bobby!
Did you watch Pepa Pig or other British cartoons growing up? That may explain your very cool British accent. I've noticed many ladies on Negros have that accent
Hi Mia, my opinion is an attitude and somewhat jealous, you were walking with a foreigner in Makati the business Centre of the Philippines, and one thing i have come across is if the girls detected you may have been Visayan, girls sort of don't mix, l am not sure what it is but if you looked at numbers you would find most foreigners go for Visayan girls. Even in bars not that l go there but I know from my younger days the most beautiful come from Visayas. Good to see husband Paul back and best wishes for the future and God Bless, 🙏
Good points. I think it's mostly jealousy and insecurity. If you're not insecure and jealous, why mock other people?
Thanks; God bless you too.
"Im your husband?" lol Paul! :) Mia Paul nailed it. I would take their snide comment with a grain of salt. Its jealousy for sure!
Your husband is hilarious!!! You get a subscribe just for that.
Good Times!
The question we all really want answered is how did you manage to rope and dope the wild red pill bull and turn him into a domesticted livestock?
You must be Mia the Master Matador of the Visayas!
Take care
Wait
.... Are you guys in the USA? Paul you've told men years not to bring Filipina to USA. What changed bro? 😂😂. I'm happy for both of you. Ya all look happy. It's all that matters.
I’ve had that before I once got called daddy when I was walking with my girlfriend
Hi Mia, I took a sabbatical for few months and I am glad to see you back with Paul. When did you tie the knot Mia?
Congratulations.
Finally Paul caved in.
Hooray. BTW Paul has mellowed down after his trip to Texas.
I see you as a nice girl, please don't confront any people.
It'll never happen. HEHE
Nice video
Thanks
❤❤
Your English really excellent
Thank you! 😃

A Talking Baboy mocked you! How Rude.
it looks like you ran into a Filipina Karen ha ha, I watched the Filipina pea she was not in the US for a week before she ran into a Florida Karen trying to call her out on her stars and stripes swim wear lol there will always be some people that will think they have the right to share there thoughts out loud, and I agree what your husband has said, it speaks volume about them, that is why I agree when you said Jealousy, either you are gifted to be a fast learner or you use hard work, it seem they have neither, back in the day we use to say it takes a piss pour individual that try to make others look or feel bad so that they would look or feel good about them selves, I watch a Korean movie just throw salt over your shoulder and walk away when that happens ha ha, like the feel of your channel..
Mia, so do you have any sisters?
Yes, but not available.
Old school, colonialism way of thinking about people who speak English. What happens when a person teaches self. The asinine rationale that the person has a higher pedigree is just that...asinine.
What’s up Paul
You are not talking about Bush Pigs are you?
Hello
Hi
Why should a family need to be rich to learn English well ??
No. You don't have to be rich to learn English well. It's just that, for the most part, we see it in our society that kids that are born into rich or middle-class families speak English well because of their upbringing. Maybe in their household, the parents speak English all the time, but in the household, especially the poor household, we tend to speak Cebuano more than English.
My gosh Mia, Paul had my wife and I laughing so hard with his pig snorting.
My wife says those girls were jealous and have dark hearts.
Definitely crab mentality.
Yep
Oink oink 😂
LOL
