Mia, when you do the gestures, please look at the camera and repeat them at an angle to the camera like you did in this video with Paul. Don’t be nervous, you are very pretty and talk very well! 😀 Good luck with the live version!
Many of these gesture are common in Europe as well. Maybe more southern than northern. But then again Filipinos probably inherited it from their Spanish era.
To be honest, all of them come natural to me as we have the same meaning here with only 1 exception which is the pointing lips as we simply direct by telling/describing and if we want to be more specific we include the pointing finger. However, it's considered rude to point to any other person while you are having a conversation (which you have if you are giving directions). Because pointing to a person is likely because you are talking about or gossip about that person. Yet again an exception on this as well :) You can point to a person with your finger IF that person can see you doing so. But you will give a knot with your head same time to acknowledge you know he sees you pointing. Now this person knows you don't gossip but likely he will expects or thinks you direct the person you are talking with, over to him so he can assist further. Meaning he's alerted and wait for the person to come over. If misunderstood, expect the person you pointed to will come over asking you about your problem with him ..... lol
When I met my mother in law. She gave me a death look when I first dated my wife and had to meet her. Now she loves me and I love my mommy Lue. I miss her. She is returning to Texas after this COVID thing passes. What a wonderful mother in law she is.
It's interesting that some of those gestures are actually familiar to me. I'm sure it would take me awhile to get used to what each one means. heh, I hope I don't make too many people laugh trying to attempt them. Great video and I wish you and Paul well.
Paul, with all the respect…sometimes it would be better if you learn how NOT to interrupt Mia so we could actually hear the opinion of a Filipino and not having the westerner view explained. After all we watch those precious videos to learn more about the Filipino's and their culture. Thank you!
I think you two are the coolest couple; and really helping me understand the Philippines for when I go there, it’s not so much to visit and go on Tours but it’s more to see if I want to retire in the Philippines. And I would be honored if I could meet you two and could guide me through to help me understand the Philippines especially if I meet a Filipina that would love to be with a foreigner. Because the last thing I want is being scammed lol Hopefully they will allow foreigners Shortly in to visit 🙂
It was interesting, I would have liked to see all the gestures in the original on Filipinos people if they do not feel observed so that the originality does not suffer. Most of it is international except for the lips and the "I want to pass". Body language of Italians is very interesting the gestures they make when they speak super loud
When I was growing up in the Philippines, when we were at a restaurant and my father wanted to ask for the bill, he would get the waiter's attention and make a box shape in the air with his fingers, i.e. please bring me the bill. Is this still a common thing?
it took me a long time to figure out what the filipino facial expressions mean, but eventually i learned, but it was very frustrating when i asked a question and never got an answer, with words that is
Hey, Paul. I see you are having neck pain, and I'm guessing most likely headaches too. Try looking straight ahead while placing the palm of your hand on the round bottom rear part of your skull just behind and below your ear. Push your palm against your head while resisting movement of your head with your neck muscles. Do that on both sides. NOT TOO FORCEFULLY! Just use the amount of resistance that is comfortable but not painful. You will most likely be rewarded with one or perhaps multiple pops from your neck, and a relief of pain, as your neck realigns. My chiropractor taught me that! Sometimes it helps to slightly turn your head back and forth left to right while resisting as explained at the same time. This is NOT expert medical advice. I am NOT a doctor! Use at your own discretion! I'm just sharing advice that made my life much better. Good luck.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 I was with my gf, when she came out the dressing room , she immediately knew something was up , she locked eyes with that girl , 😝
You two make a great couple! Mia, watch at ruclips.net/video/Dj3Tjzd-NQs/видео.html how Paul is following along as you talk, watch his lips... body language at its best :)
This way of communicating maybe ok with in the culture, but it is a lazy and rude way to act around people from other countries. Often you are not looking directly at someone when asking a question and think the person has not answered you. This often causes confusion and upset. Takes a long time to adjust this cultural way.
@@alaialai4113 you are correct, but if you think you can be like this in the west, you will be in trouble.. better for Philippinos to be considerate and realize how it might look..
@@dingodave2464 for sure you know that's there's a million of Filipino overseas.. We're not a type of people make trouble because we easily fit in in every culture. We know how to adjust... The problem of some western people, they feel like a VIP..
Paul is very lucky

Agreed
Live and learn. Thanks for trying to teach about your culture.
Always!

Hi guys, good chat, after living in Indo,Thailand and Malaysia for more than a decade, there is many similarities in Asia wide

Great video. Some gestures I already knew and some are very similar to western gestures. Keep smiling and stay safe

i've learned about the pointing lips in a few of these youtube videos, but on my many trips to philippines i've never seen it with my own eyes
Congrats on your nursing school acceptance ! My gf is a nurse grad there in Cebu .
Thank you!!

Mia you have such a beautiful heart and personality.
Thank you

The most common gesture is raising the eyes meaning O O.. yes
So you have to be observant in order to be aware of non verbal communication?👍
Pointing with lips is standard practice in Spanish speaking Latin American cultures. So many Americans recognize it.
When I was growing up in the Philippines, when we were at a restaurant and my father wanted to ask for the bill, he would get the waiter's attention and make a box shape in the air with his fingers, i.e. please bring me the bill. Is this still a common thing?
Yes.
The lip pointing must be an island thing. My wife does the same thing but she is from Puerto Rico.
it took me a long time to figure out what the filipino facial expressions mean, but eventually i learned, but it was very frustrating when i asked a question and never got an answer, with words that is
You 2 are so cute together!😅
Is pointing with your finger considered rude?
In some situation, yes.
The jesters is like Ano ba yan?

They call that "stink eye" or the "evil eye'.
Beautiful girl 🇨🇮
A Filipina raised her shirt and showed me her bra in a store , not sure what that meant,I guess that was a body language
LMAO
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 I was with my gf, when she came out the dressing room , she immediately knew something was up , she locked eyes with that girl , 😝
First!
Your'e doing great . Carry On.
You two make a great couple! Mia, watch at ruclips.net/video/Dj3Tjzd-NQs/видео.html how Paul is following along as you talk, watch his lips... body language at its best :)
Also, do not use your finger to ask some girl to come to you.
I thought that's a Jamaican thing
Mia is so beautiful. WOW!
Thank you
Welcome to the Philippine life with Paul featuring"Mia"....smh

You are the one must adjust not the Filipinos if you are in the Philippines.. Mostly us doesn't know what rude in your culture...
We, the foreigner must be the one to make the adjustment, not the native person. When in Rome. . . .
@@alaialai4113 you are correct, but if you think you can be like this in the west, you will be in trouble.. better for Philippinos to be considerate and realize how it might look..

Why is your filipina allowing you to use bad words?
I dont think the whole Harvey Weinstein scandal was feminist BS. Secondly this video is a bit too long for the topic.
