MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I have a few episodes that were supposed to come first before this but due to the holiday season, I had to prioritize finishing this video. In the next few episodes you will notice that there was a "time jump". Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this episode. Again, Merry Christmas to all of you!!!
I have had the pleasure of working with a Filipino crew at Xmas and New Year at sea. They made our celebrations amazing! Such awesome people. Such good memories. God bless
I have a multi-level sense of engagement with this channel: 1/. I used to be a ship's providor and was, on occasions, able to sail aboard several cargo ships. 2/. My Christmas day celebrations were very often deferred in favour of something to do with provisioning items, mostly engineering oriented items, to ships. 3/. These days, one of my work colleagues is Filipina and last Christmas she insisted that I attend at her family's Christmas day celebrations... boy-oh-boy: Maraming pagkain sa la mesa! (Lots of food on the table!) 4/. I have previously had a fair bit of involvement with film production. 5/. I now work for a Motorcycle dealership and we have a number of male staff members who are from the Philippines, they're mechanics. I resonate well with them because I am extremely mechanically minded, plus the overall Filipino culture is, I find, enchanting and substantially captivating. Ingat lagi Chief.
Wonderful video. I used to work on offshore drilling platforms. This remind me of this past. Thank you for knowing,observing and remind us of the true spirit of CHRIST-mas. May our Lord bless you and your family very richly.
How you mentioned you guys have to make up games. Made me think of the last ship I unloaded. We were throwing in $1 bets to throw in a thermos cap into a 5 gallon bucket.glad to see y’all having a good time
I spent two deployments away from home during Christmas while I was in the US Navy. It was a sad time but I always kept my head in the game while at sea.
if you have camaraderie like this you will not get homesick if you have chiefmate boss like chief makoi you were so very lucky and bless thank you chief for sharing your life at the seas and have safe voyage on everyday journey godspeed.
Drinkin San Miguel beer. I tried one of those once when the U S Navy ship I was on stopped at Olongapo City, Phillipines in 2001. It may have been more than one, honestly. They were so cheap! Like .50 cents apiece. Great video, I love Phillipinos and the Phillipines. Keep up the great videos. Thank you and Semper Fidelis.
When I graduate from college, I would love to work with such a positive team like this :) Many people have told me that it is difficult to work on a ship, but when you have a team like this it is much easier
You had a good party Chief, I have been to a few "Office" parties and they were no where near as much fun as your party was👍🍻🍷🥂👍 It's nearly seasons greetings again, so can I get in early and wish you and all seafarers a happy Christmas. As I am in aviation and not forgetting the truckers, how about a Happy Christmas for all of us who travel the globe in the course of our work! Cheers from the UK 🥂
Chief makoi our work industry is different but the essence of how you brought the great characteristic towards work learned me great inspiration. Keep it simple happy and be guided by God and our love ones. A truly leader of your own. Thanks for the time making us happy, feel confident and be contented of what we have. SALUTE!!!
What a wonderful video, Chief. You really have proven that as long as you have Christ, you can celebrate His birth (and have some fun) just about anywhere and even in the absence of your families. I have no doubt that in the centuries to come, SPACEfarers will be doing likewise on their long, lonely voyages. Subscribed!
Merry Christmas from a retired Chief Engineer. Your videos are great. Please keep up the good work. I'm using them to 'recruit' a younger generation. Stay safe!
I got hooked with your vlogs...Spend almost the whole 1st day of 2019 watching your vlogs. Keep up with the good work..more power to you God bless and looking forward to your next story.
Another great video!!! I posted Merry Christmas but think I screwed up and put it on one of the old ones...so belated Merry Christmas...and of course HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Fair winds and calm seas...all the best holiday wishes...and thanks for a great and thoughtful video. Thanks Chief!
Now this is exactly what Christmas is about for me, fun, activities and family. I’n this case you crew-mates, and you can always have a mini Christmas with the family when you get back home, Merry Christmas Chief and Crew.
Merry Christmas to you all and the MV Belgrano! What a nice video and an excellent Lechon! Yum! Looks like you all had a feast and some ship-board fun. Thanks for sharing!
Really interesting channel. I love it and have subscribed from the start. Merry Christmas and a great 2020 for you and yours. From Blairgowrie, Australia
I missed four Christmas times in my life. I mean totally missed. I missed several Eve's and Day's but, not both together, due to my shift work in a metropolitan fire & rescue department. At the station I would cook up a big feast and all the surrounding stations would come in and take some back for their dinners. Before I was promoted into management I used to be a firehouse cook. Real men know how to cook! Nine kids with a stay at home wife, one income: you bet I can cook, from scratch! To include wild game and fish (I had a small farm for a time, as well). Christmas is good. Merry Christmas!
Oh wow, if I am ever shutdown and working on Christmas Day... I wanna be on a filipono boat.. Wonderful..... well shared chief makoi.... You are a Legend...
My parish (in the Bronx, NYC) has a LARGE Filipino community within and the holiday masses are INCREDIBLE to say the least. The wonderful people, beautiful singing, reception with delicious food afterwards & etc. Sometimes I stay after a regular English mass just to partake even though I cannot understand Tagalog. But the mass is the mass and you know more or less what is going on regardless as to the language. Comet time for the homily, the Filipino priest would even repeat his statements in English, well aware as to the large amount of non Filipinos in attendance. This is especially true come a few weeks prior to Christmas with a series of jubilant masses they hold around that time. Thanks very much for sharing Chief, wonderful as always.
Sir makoi I really glad to see all your vlogs... Im not a seafarer by profession , but I learn to value and love good seamanhip.... kudos to you sir...
Merry Christmas, chief! I will pray for you and you crew! You and you crew make world spinning...! Around the world, from port to port, from one continent to another, you have trust în God! The maker of the seas! Stay safe, chief!
Merry Christmas chief, it appears that you have a far better christmas party then most of us. Its the simple things that gives the most pleasure in life.
I am watching this in May, just a tad over five months after your party. It made me feel good and in the holiday spirit. I hope Christmas 2019 finds you with family and friends. Peace, Chief.
What makes all of chiefs vlog professional is because of drone video shots. Nicely executed bro. Keep up the good work. I was brought to your vlog because of the incident last March 23 in suez canal.
Hi Chief Makoi. It made me missed those days when I was working in the ship. I was crazy and young and JUMP ship (1976) here in the US, which was stupid. I am leaving here in Portland,Oregon and If ever your ship come here I love to take you guys out for shore leave. Cheers, Jerry L.
Very excellent post. In spite of being in Japan, you seem to have had a good time. Merry Christmas to you and all your shipmates!!! You guys stay safe.
I was in US Navy and celebrated a Pnoys xmas while underway but it's limited that we can do coz of a combatant ship. Chief SALUDO ako sa inyo! Pnoys knows how to party and fight for loneliness away from Fam. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL PINOYS IN YOUR SHIP.
Very nice blog chief I also happy coz of everyone in the blog Want to get seafarers’ life more than the last Merry Christmas to all Be happy and safe voyage
Christimas is a difficult sittuation when you are on board but like you said you have to be creative and enjoy the free time. Alex Rodrigues From brazil.
Merry Christmas ✝ Chief Engineer MAKOI 🎄 , to you, the other officers and crew on your ship 🚢 You are traveling the same sea routes and working at the same job, in the same position that my dad worked at in the 1960's, 1970s and early 1980s 🌏
The next year that you guys roast a whole pig, see if the chef can get a bunch of fresh coconut water to baste the pig in while you all are taking turns roasting it over the fire. That coconut water as a whole new dynamic to the flavor of the scan and an extra crunchiness that is unparalleled DON'T FORGET THE TANDUAY!!!!

I cried while watching this Chief Makoi. I miss my husband which is also a seaman on board. Merry Christmas to all! Happy new year 2019!
Thanks Camille!
Chief Makoi, You are not only a great Chief, but also a wonderful Christian and a Great Comrade to your Team
I have had the pleasure of working with a Filipino crew at Xmas and New Year at sea. They made our celebrations amazing! Such awesome people. Such good memories. God bless
Filipinos some of humblest most nicest people you could ever be privileged to meet.
I have worked with Filipinos and yes, agree with your comments. Wonderful people.
My battle buddy in basic training was Fillipino. He didn’t move to the US till a young adult. He was an amazing guy.

Merry Christmas ! You narrated this video Perfectly. Safe travels.
Thanks Robert!
You could replay this every Christmas. 🎄 🎀 🎄 🎀
Born with medical conditions that prevent me from doing a lot of jobs, i enjoy watching your channel to see what anothers life might be like. Thanks!
Thanks Matthew!
Filipino food is my favorite. I was fortunate to meet a lot of Filipino cooks while in the Navy. Love me some chicken adobo all day.
Wonderful video.
I used to work on offshore drilling platforms. This remind me of this past.

Watching this on the Christmas Day of 2021, wishing you a Merry Christmas, whether you’re onboard or back home.
One of the most memorable Christmases I ever spent was on a Filipino ship in New Orleans
That sounds like a great time
Lord. That was good video. Always wondered what life at sea was like. Thank you.
Oh that whole roasted pig looks so mouth watering while sailing the cold, freezing seas.
Chief, this was such a joyous video to watch! Even though it’s July now, I felt the spirit of Christmas oozing out of your footage. Thank you!
To get to know someone, an hour of playing is better than a day of working together.
I spent two deployments away from home during Christmas while I was in the US Navy. It was a sad time but I always kept my head in the game while at sea.
if you have camaraderie like this you will not get homesick if you have chiefmate boss like chief makoi you were so very lucky and bless thank you chief for sharing your life at the seas and have safe voyage on everyday journey godspeed.
As a senior highschool maritime student ,watching your videos makes me so excited to work onboard .Merry Christmas chief makoi !
I love your videos Chief. They remind me of my few years at sea. BTW - Your skill as a video producer is extraordinary!
the spirit of the season ...in your hearts...you guys rock!
I can tell from the eyes of all the officers and the crews that you all treat each other as a family..

I feel this one, Chief. Back in the day I spent a bunch of Christmas's at sea. Even in home port, taking the watch for a shipmate with family.
Yeah that's what it's all about. When camaraderie is good onboard, it eases the loneliness a little bit.
Merry christmas chief! My salute to all of you!
The food looked amazing. The comradery was even better.
Your videos are awesome thank you for sharing them
Hi Chief Makoi. It made me missed those days when I was working in the ship. I was crazy and young and JUMP ship (1976) here in the US, which was stupid. I am leaving here in Portland,Oregon and If ever your ship come here I love to take you guys out for shore leave. Cheers, Jerry L.
