You put this together very well, good on you! I lived in Serandra 2, in 2013...a friend owned a condo there that he let me stay in, it was a large, proper apartment, he sold it for around $250,000 USD...I am sure it is worth 3x that now!!!! keep up the vids showing the good parts there, i miss that area, peace from Poland m8.
Get a modular helmet, you can flip up the chin bar. And get gloves and knee pads, at a minimum. Those points, and your face, always strike the ground on an e scooter crash . 🤸♀🛴Also, just lift the front end and let the back end roll over the steps. I suggest for your first extended trip, Tagaytay. The Klima has more than enough power and range. It's an awesome ride.
Good idea getting a d-lock. Hopefully, you'll also find a way to carry it or mount it to the scooter. You should consider one that is relatively long since a lot of bike racks are poorly designed and so having a longer lock will provide more versatility when dealing with them. Also helps when you have no choice but to lock it to a fence or something like that.
I move every 6 months or so. Im in Uptown BGC now. Next destination back to Cebu for 6 months. Cool Scooter I like it! Whats battery life like? Do you carry spares?
You can tour around Intramuros with that ride, I think the ferry boat en route to Binondo allows that type of private service then from Binondo you can enjoy the newly restored esplanade and the foods in Binondo again but this time you don't need to hire a trike or pedicab since you already have your own service.
if youre considering leaving BGC and the country, and settle on other asian places its possible but you cant match the totality of the place, you can talk to anybody here you just have to find someone as a friend.
Yes the 1st min of the vid sums it all up, Like me I'm a few mins away I live in Kalayaan Makati as a lot of stuff are more expensive in BGC I suggest u get an apartment outside but near bgc because the electricity of condo is high because of the stand by generator your getting charged for a premium.I estimate you alone using inverter ac, and washing machine, laptop\tv won't costs you more than 4-6k a month in non condo rental also we rarely get power outages in Makati and if ever it happens it goes up w/in a min or an hour tops, also shared condos fees added costs you don't really need IMO
5:46 Helmet is a must. I had a horrible concussion when I fell off my bike. Dizziness and severe head aches for WEEKS! I’ll never again ride anything without a helmet
SM Megamall Ace hardware and Edsa Shangri-La True Value have what you need. You're already near them. You should have gone through the main entrance of Tiendesitas so you didn't have to carry your scooter.
Mergim, I am thinking the same way. I am looking for a condo somewhere in Quezon City. I have heard, New Manila or Green Hills is what I am considering to look into to move in, that is, if the price is right.
My cousin from Arizona just rented a condo for a couple months. It’s nearby Santa Lucia Mall, Robinson’s mall and a short LRT ride to SM Marikina and Ayala Malls. Very accessible 2go2 Cubao and Makati.
Great vlog Mr. Mergim by the way you can look for Dlocks at Ace hardware or Concord car accessories maybe Tobby's sports anyways Keep it up stay safe and God bless always 🤙
* Lumos Helmet or Unit 1 Helmets are nice. Make sure you get them with MIPS technology. I got the E-bike specific helmet due to higher sustained speeds than a conventional bike. * Knog, Lumos have good LED lighting. * Good reflective clothing, vest. Maybe a rain poncho too. * Attachable LED light for your back pack, clothing. * Emergency kit for yourself Band aids, tweezers, ointment etc.) and minor scooter repairs. (multi tool, tire repair etc) They make an extender for your handle bar to add extra accessories.
The problem in Siargao is infrastructures ie electricity, hospitals, lacking food supplies and water supplies etc. They had a blackout for 14 days but luckily 8 miles have solar. Imo the businesses should have solar instead of generators to solve the blackouts and brownouts.
Yup my cousins rented a condo nearby Santa Lucia Mall, Robinson’s and a short LRT rides to SM Marikina and Ayala Malls. The condo is so accessible and decided to buy a condo.
it seems that theres a rotation of foreign vloggers in BGC .When Brian the Lion was IN ,Mergim and Jasper were OUT. Now that Mergim adn Jasper are back ,Brian is out .When Mergim was out before ,Jasper was in . When Brian came in , Jasper disappeared!
In Europe you must wear a helmet to drive a roller like yours. Because even on a little push from a car behind and you can easily brake your neck. I just would like to warn you.... 😢
0:08 I was in BGC yesterday and it was hilarious cause there's 2 guys that ended up having a fist fight because of the E-Scooter 😂 Anyways, it's time to move out man. You have a scooter now that can take you pretty much anywhere you want in Metro Manila, time to save some money with the rent and food. I still think a motorbike would be better tho especially if you want to go further away from Metro Manila
Hi mergim are you lookong for condo for rent,we have 2bedrooms in accacia state taguig so pretty and very peaceful,pls..reply if you are interesting tnx,Happy New Year
How is it living alone in the Philippines for such a long time? I haven't seen you with any female companion or partner, especially considering it's been quite a while.
Good day. You're one of the good examples of an Afam. Filipinos should adopt the Afam fashion, accent/twang, and lifestyle. Keep vlogging about the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries. Most of all, keep up the good work.
Oh. Decathlon. Been there, already. Nice place - except for that Indian-Made raincoat I bought there, whose internal parts rip and fall apart on my skin after a rain.
Can you confirm you have so far earned $ 76,000 vlogging off the Philippines since you arrived a year ago 2023? Quite good earnings off the Philippines
You might want to consider wearing reflective vests also and flashing LED light to strap on your backpack.
Agree; you might think it's nerdy but it's for your own safety; Filipino drivers are crazy!
"and flashing LED light to strap on your backpack." - Hopefully not the white one like what most of the bikers use as it is annoying to look at
You might want to check out brixton or sheridan towers by DMCI. just a bridge away from BGC but costs way less than BGC units.
You put this together very well, good on you!

Living in Alabang area or Paranaque villages is one of the more relaxing areas in Metro Manila.

Looking good Mergim.. i always see you here in BGC since we live in the same area.. im just too shy to say Hi.. lol
Hello Mergim, try to go to Vertiz North and Solaire Resort North in Quezon City, its a new development by Ayala Land it's a new city center
Merry Christmas Mergim have a good one! 👍

5:33 Yes, especially if you are traveling as far as Tagaytay.
Your style outfit is more casual and relax now.
Nice vlog Mergim! Your editing skills are getting better and better keep it up! Happy Holidays! ♥️🎄⛄
Wala na ring Merry Christmas sa Philippines? Happy Holidays na? Bakit kaya? May reason kasi dito sa US kung bakit Happy Holidays ang sa kanila.
Yes i enjoyed the vlog.. merry Christmas mergim

You gotta be at the rooftop in bcc to watch the greatest fireworks in the world on New Year’s Eve!
Basic: Before anything else, wear helmet first as well as other safety gears buddy. Thank you.
Love seeing you around with your scooter
5:46 Helmet is a must. I had a horrible concussion when I fell off my bike. Dizziness and severe head aches for WEEKS!
I’ll never again ride anything without a helmet
the latest development is now in okada , solaire along roxas boulevard. most stores are closing down in BGC

7:20 couldnt you use the bike ramp on the side?
I figured it out as well.. mergim didn't notice it.
Merry christmas mergim.enjoy your day always🎉🎉🎉
Omg ur back
Decathlon backpack are great, inexpensive and durable. Buy a helmet there too
Live outside the city and just commute to BGC for🎉 peace of mind.
Great vlog Mr. Mergim by the way you can look for Dlocks at Ace hardware or Concord car accessories maybe Tobby's sports anyways Keep it up stay safe and God bless always 🤙
Sarap .. nice nook
Take good care of yourself always
What camera do you use for vlogging?
You better use Hiplok, it’s located at 32nd st bgc . Basement level of Treston International College building.
Cheers Mate 🍻

8 miles from Home family lives in Siargao they are a British family, right? Siargao is booming the next Bali
The problem in Siargao is infrastructures ie electricity, hospitals, lacking food supplies and water supplies etc. They had a blackout for 14 days but luckily 8 miles have solar. Imo the businesses should have solar instead of generators to solve the blackouts and brownouts.
Time to move to Pasig. Thats more central than BGC. You can explore QC more like UP Diliman.
Yup my cousins rented a condo nearby Santa Lucia Mall, Robinson’s and a short LRT rides to SM Marikina and Ayala Malls. The condo is so accessible and decided to buy a condo.
I was at Landers today who knows we might have passed each other without knowing it lol.
What a relaxing day
Find the right place for you that fits you're life style. BGC is not the place for night life. It's a decent place because it's a financial hub.
you may consider living in the outskirts of bgc. its much cheaper
Well produced vid. The editing, filming, fireworks, music blending in towards the end. You do that all by yourself or do you have help?
All myself
I love drinking german beer at Brotzeit!
Live in makati
it seems that theres a rotation of foreign vloggers in BGC .When Brian the Lion was IN ,Mergim and Jasper were OUT. Now that Mergim adn Jasper are back ,Brian is out .When Mergim was out before ,Jasper was in . When Brian came in , Jasper disappeared!
They're ex's and don't want to see each other
You can check some accessories at motomarket including cup holder sec brand
The most important thing about a good E scooter is a strong battery like 3,000 watts
7:27 they have bike ramp on the sides, does the scooter wheels fit?
You've been looking for accommodations for several videos now. Just do it!
You can get an OPEN FACE - FULL FACE interchangeable helmet
nice....where did you left your ebike when you had your beer?..hehe..atleast youve got a lock from the shop Mergim.. 🙂....enjooooy
🟡 I am looking for a light weight carbon fibre scooter that can fit into a backpack and a light carbon fibre helmet 🟡
Welcome back
You could live in Makati and enjoy the same lifestyle.
Love products from decathlon
I love the crocs ❤❤❤
Try Greenfield much cheaper.
In Europe you must wear a helmet to drive a roller like yours. Because even on a little push from a car behind and you can easily brake your neck. I just would like to warn you.... 😢
Missed watching u
Miss the relax life of the Philippines
Perhaps the better question is is it time to move back home?
Do you mean home as in rainy and cold London? He’s been too spoiled by tropical weather to ever be happy living there. A short vacation, maybe.
The burger looks yummy and it's huge.
Check out bmx helmets. Full face but much lighter. Look like dirt bike helmets
Top notch editing
0:08 I was in BGC yesterday and it was hilarious cause there's 2 guys that ended up having a fist fight because of the E-Scooter 😂
Anyways, it's time to move out man. You have a scooter now that can take you pretty much anywhere you want in Metro Manila, time to save some money with the rent and food. I still think a motorbike would be better tho especially if you want to go further away from Metro Manila
Wear what you want.
Hi mergim are you lookong for condo for rent,we have 2bedrooms in accacia state taguig so pretty and very peaceful,pls..reply if you are interesting tnx,Happy New Year
Nice place ❤❤❤
Don't drink too much at Starbucks, their coffee is packed with sugars! Take care of your health.
600 pesos for a hamburger thats a rip off its as much as a burger almost in canada, probanly not even canadian beef or American beef
You need to wear a helmet as you will come of 1 day
Drinking and driving a scooter without a helmet and bright reflective clothing is not safe.
why? because the most expensivevto live in metro manila...
I miss bgc❤
yes better full face for Small-Medium size E-scooter and the police will never disturb you and riding at 40-50km/h only
Are you worried about someone steeling your scooter while your in a store shopping
Live in the province it is very cheap
i would never gamble my life with riding any vehicle in the city of manila, as there is absolutely no respect among drivers!!
How is it living alone in the Philippines for such a long time? I haven't seen you with any female companion or partner, especially considering it's been quite a while.
That means no drama LOL!
❤❤❤
when you left abruptly Brian the Lion filled the void you left behind

wear helmet please, it will greatly affect escooter groups negatively (for not wearing helmet) if someone rides a escooter as powerful as klima
How does it affect other people by him not wearing a helmet? 😂
@@jamesfitfoodie8249 Some people tend to generalize a whole group base on one "Pasaway" or Offender especially Traffic officers.
I’m retired in Davao
Paying 25k for condo
Much more realistic 😊
The decision to move out of BGC is all yours. Do whatever you want to do, make yourself happy, especially your pocket💰💰
Get a rectangular backpack .🇺🇸🇵🇭
Try to visits Angeles City 😊😊😊 !.
Oh. Decathlon. Been there, already. Nice place - except for that Indian-Made raincoat I bought there, whose internal parts rip and fall apart on my skin after a rain.
30 km an hour is enough velocity to kill you in a 'head on' accident - God forbid. Your scooter is dangerous - take care..
Rentpad makati 👍
love love bgc
Can you confirm you have so far earned $ 76,000 vlogging off the Philippines since you arrived a year ago 2023?
Quite good earnings off the Philippines
ROX BGC for helmet thank me later
Love BGC
Halatang Ai
Get a bicycle helmet.
Tutuban for dirt cheap
