Shay, most people get caught up in their every day life’s , especially people in the west, and we forget that not everybody around the world has the same opportunities for advancement or a good job no matter how hard they work, sometimes you just cannot better your situation, I was taught that with great power comes great responsibility, basically if you’re in a position to help other people it’s your responsibility ! Thank you for showing us that you don’t need to be rich or even some what wealthy to help other people just do the best you can with what you’ve got, thanks Gordon 🙏
Thank you so much Grady! Yes, I agree. It's not about our wealth, it's about caring for others. There are many who do care, but we need more so that things can change for people like Elmer and my parents. It's not difficult if there is a will. Happy Holidays!
This is an awesome video Shay! I live here in the USA, but I'm the son of an American Father and Filipino mother. My mother endured many many hardships during World War II as did millions of other Filipinos. I know there is no war today in the PI, but your video highlights the struggle for millions of Filipinos every day. Your video gives me pause to reflect on how thankful I am for what we have. I hope one day to pay my life forward by coming back to the Philippines and hopefully being able to spread some good when I visit. Thank you Shay and I wish you the best with your channel!
Thank you so much Ted! As Elmer said, "Be thankful!" Yes, you can do good things here, but also enjoy yourself when you visit. There are many beautiful places and good people here. Happy Holidays!
That was very kind of you to do that for him. I've learned it is much easier to be thankful when you don't have much, when you have a lot of possessions it is easy to forget where the blessings come from. Poverty exists because we do not share. Always, always, always be thankful.
Thank you so much Allan! I think that art should provoke thought, don't you? I am trying to grow as an artist, and I thank you all for helping me to do that. Happy Holidays!
This is very heartfelt, loving the Monday series. I’m happy to see that Elmer helped to pass out the peanut brittle to the locals, he gets a chance to bring a smile to others. It’s a delicate balance to help someone while maintaining their dignity, I think this was done beautifully. Elmer sounds like a hard working man full of wisdom and I’m glad he got a little more time with his wife that day
Thank you so much Tony! I agree. I think he enjoyed giving it away maybe more than selling it. He is the kind of man who would give things way to see the smile on people's faces. Happy Holiday!
What a beautiful video. My wife is very much like you. She would get lunch money from her parents in Alcala, Pangasinan, but would end up spending it on her classmates that had no food. If I had regrets, it would be that I didn’t meet my wife in my 20’s. No I hope my 24 and 27 year old sons would meet a beautiful bride in the Philippines as well. What a treasure in character.
Thank you Shay. I enjoyed meeting him & I appreciate his universal message. I would be interested to hear more about his life from him if there's anything else he'd like to share with us. As a local, and as a woman, you are able to interact with people in a natural friendly & relaxed way that simply wouldn't be possible for us as foreigners and this is a real pleasure to see. I like your thoughtful and calm personality and I find you naturally engaging so I'm sure your channel will grow. I'll be here as long as you are.
Thank you so much Ferney! I hope my channel will grow, but even if it doesn't, I will continue to do whatever drives me in this direction. Have a Happy Holiday!
Amazing video! Heart warming story complimented by beautiful narration and background music. This video deserves to go viral! I hope everyone will share on social media.
Wonderful. I`m resigned to crying tears of joy every Monday. Say Hi to Elmer from all of us each time you see him, he`s an internet hero now and deservedly so. As are you dear Shay. Much love from a snowy France x
Thank you so much George - all the way from France! I appreciate your kind words and I hope you are right and Elmer gets a lot of attention so he can find more time to rest at home.
Nice video Shay, Elmer would have been overwhelmed. It's nice to see you brought a great amount of joy there, beautiful. Keep them rolling Shay, videos. Cheers
I said it before and I will say it again this world needs more people like you Shay you are a beautiful lady with a beautiful soul and I would love to meet you in person one day cheers and have a blessed day
Thank you so much John! I hope we can all meet up someday so I can thank you all for encouraging me so much! But until then, thank you for inspiring me to bring my passion to the public. Happy Holidays!
It’s a joy watching your channel. As always you compassion and caring and kindness attributes standout. I am sure you made his day and you gave him a chance to take it easy that day. God Bless you.
Vary powerful message to the heart 🙏 GOD BLESS this man’s beautiful soul 🙏🙏🙏 and GOD BLESS you miss shay for bringing us a feast to reflect on in our own hearts 🙏🙏🙏
Hello Shay, your thoughtfulness towards others is the true spirit of unconditional love. I can only imagine the plans God has in store for you. Keep on believing in yourself girl and never give up. It was truly a beautiful moment watching you in your live video. I didn’t feel like you were nervous or shy, but rather overwhelmed with all the love from your supporters. Your glow said it all.🌹God bless
Thank you so much Leslie! Yes, I thought only a few viewers would show up, but there were so many. And I appreciated all of your support! And thank you for the kind words! Have a Happy Holiday Season!
Thank you so much Constant! President, no. I just love to do what I am doing. We can all make a difference in our own way! Thank you for your encouragement!
You're an angel Shay! Handing out his product's might help with more people buying from him in the future. Hope you saved a few for yourself and your daughters, it looked pretty good!
Thank you Big Johnson! We gave it all away! Elmer was so happy that so many wanted his products. I hope more people will stop by and say hi to him and buy more of his desserts so he can go home early.
As a westerner, it is so hard to imagine the struggles some people have to go through in life. Through all of that, Elmer still had the ability to be present, living in the moment, and most of all, being thankful. You have got to be one of the kindest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing (virtually). You make my heart smile as I am sure you did with most of your community of viewers and subscribers. Your video gave me a lump in my throat. Happy Monday!! 😃
Thank you so much Craig! And thank you for your kind words and for the inspiration to do more videos! I am so honored that you all like what I do because I never know if my ideas will work. But as long as they make someone happy, I am happy. Elmer made us all happy, and he even inspired us to do better. He might be poor, but he is wise. Happy Holidays!
Thanks so much for this incredible, compassionate video on how people have to endure the hardships of hard work but with very little pay. I commend your efforts and appreciate everything you do to help and shed light on living in the Philippines.
You're so welcome Kevin, but I also want to impress upon others that even without any material wealth, people like Elmer still see the positive side of things. But I do wish he did not have to work so hard at this point in his life. Have a safe and Happy Holiday season!
Salamat po Shay…for another well put together inspirational vlog. For it is written: “Give thanks for everything.”! Not trying to preach just my own personal thoughts. You definitely instill an abundance of unselfish gratitude.🙏🏽😊
Love that Christopher! I feel that I am on the right path, and I am growing everyday. I am very thankful that you all seem to like what I am doing and believe in. As Elmer said, "Be thankful!" Happy Holidays!
Yay! Thank you Blayne! That is my real goal - to continually grow and improve as a videographer and as a human being! I really do appreciate your kind words!
This is my fave video of Shays so far. I am still fairly new. Everyone has said what I would like to say, add my heartfelt agreement. & Blessed Happy Easter Season to Shay’s & Mr. Elmer’s loved ones….
Thank you for your words of encouragement! I read "follow your bliss" in one of Joseph Campbell's books. That is what I am doing, and I thank you all for helping me to do that! Happy Holidays!
Shay you will go very far making raw videos like this. I love your heart and appreciate you sharing these events of life. I'm impressed by your candor, this is just the beginning of something very special. Thank you.
I was really moved by this story perhaps because I understood something about poverty, I have just started watching you channel and you have stories that interest me!.. please keep doing these videos God bless you
Wow Shea, what a beautiful soul you are thank you thank you thank you. God bless you for what you did for the man one of the best things I’ve ever seen. God bless you shay 😊😅
Happy Monday to you Shay and to all of your subscribers. I love what you do and the moral messages you share. Your videos are beautifully presented with such heartfelt concern for the human condition. 🤍🤍
Elmer's advice is so true. We forget to be thankful for what we already have. Thank you both for the reminder. I want to try his peanut brittle if I ever get the chance.
Thank you so much Robert! I do think that what you said is true. We need to focus on what we know is important in life - what is in our control, and what we can change; not on things that we cannot control, and cannot change.
My dear Shay… this segment brought me to tears… we in America do not appreciate what we have and this was a wake up call for me and hopefully, for others who watched your VLOG today. I know it’s not appropriate from me to say I love you as I’m a happily married man of 39 years, but I’m in love with your spirit. Please never change what God has placed in you, it’s there for the greater good. It’s there to heal the soul of the world. God bless you Shay and know that you are forever loved by me and many more. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for all these kind words! How beautiful, 39 years! Congratulations! And I believe that if we all join together we can make things better, even if in our own individual ways. Elmer inspired me with his words of wisdom - even though he has so little he is thankful for what he has. But I wish he had just a little more so he can enjoy his elder years with his wife too. We can all make a difference. Happy Holidays and thank you for watching my channel!
@sthornton1956, this also brought tears to my eyes, I agree many in America don't appreciate what they have... My wake up call came early in life. I was 20 years old, in the U.S. Navy, on my way to my next duty station to a very small island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. It was my 1st time out of the U.S.A. I had a 3 day layover at Clark A.F.B in Pampanga Luzon, March 1976. Very beautiful. As I wondered around the county side exploring I saw many beautiful things and met some of the most amazing people ever. I really fell in love with the Philippines. On the sad part was that I also saw things that would make a grown man cry. I never knew poverty like that ever existed. I told myself that someday I will make a difference. That I have each time I have gone back. Soon my plan is to move there permanently, to do what I can and hopefully put many smiles on many faces...
Hello Shay, a very kind gesture, at least some people will know how good his products are in terms of sampling thanks to you, hopefully, that will attract more people over time to continue to purchase his goods along with him growing a better connections within the community.
Yes Dharri! I hope more people will visit Elmer and buy his products so he can go home early and be with his wife and family. Little things go a long way! Happy Holidays!
Wow..., Wow Shay. 👌 You really made my Day. - A really special Person... - Displaying a special act of kindness for Humanity... - Interviewing another special person... - Wow. Keep up the Gr8 Work. Thx a Ton for the Post.
I love what you are doing! From Costa Rica with love and many blessings to you. There are many people here too that need help too.May your help continue to bless people in your community.
Beautifully done Shay. Elmer's happiness is his understanding of thankfulness. Your happiness is being helpful to others. Elmer understood that by letting you help him he was helping you be happy. It's well know that when you are sad or depressed or going through a hard time in life that the best way to help yourself is to help others. In the West pleasure is confused with happiness. Pleasure is temporary, happiness is a mindset that always involves others. Thank you for this reminder of what happiness looks and feels like.
Shay, You made me cry. Every time I watch someone's video and you are in it, you say or do something, ALWAYS a Notch above normal, always. I get it. I follow your thinking. This is the FIRST video I have seen that was yours and now Im thinking, HOW Can I support this gentleman, to give him time off...? Then it hit me, she's doin this EVERY Monday.. I'll just admit now, YOU are AMAZING and you not only KNOW how to relay the message IN person, but ON FILM..to us, the viewer. You are AAAn Amazing Person! Cheers to YYYou! thank you, kindly. Bobby
What a PURE and deep ADVICE! Thanks for this story Shay! I'm actually very touched and thankful for what you're doing in your HAPPY MONDAYS. Please don't stop 🥰
I saw your video with Gary. I was so impressed. So I decided to subscribe to your channel. The first video I watched was with the gentleman selling the peanut brittle. I was so impressed with you making your Happy Monday. You are a very special lady. Thank you.
Hello Shay I stumbled on this video of yours and I must say you are doing a wonderful job that was a blessing what you did for that elderly gentleman. You have a very pleasant speaking voice and it's a pleasure listening to your narrative as you explain the contents of your video's you have a real calling for doing narrative voice overs work.
Your voice has such a calming effect on me that I have only experienced from one other person in my entire life. It shows you have true inner beauty and are a good person.
Hello Ms. Shay. I'm a new sub. What an awesome person you are by doing these kind things. I pray that God blesses you so you can bless others. Merry Christmas!
Shay, most people get caught up in their every day life’s , especially people in the west, and we forget that not everybody around the world has the same opportunities for advancement or a good job no matter how hard they work, sometimes you just cannot better your situation, I was taught that with great power comes great responsibility, basically if you’re in a position to help other people it’s your responsibility !

Just send something via PayPal. Not sure if you will see him. Please see note.
If not can go towards another.

Thank you so much Mel for all of your wonderful support!
My mind is weighed down after watching your video. Your video is thought provoking .Great job Shay
Thank you so much Allan! I think that art should provoke thought, don't you? I am trying to grow as an artist, and I thank you all for helping me to do that. Happy Holidays!
I am truly at a loss for words God bless you and Emer. 🙏
Thank you so much! You just said 1,000 words! Thank you for all your encouragement and support.

The man is not the only person rich in the heart. Shay, you are a pure soul. Thank you for showing the best part of being a human.
Thank you so much Grumpy Goat! I appreciate all of your kind words and encouragement! Happy Holiday!
What a beautiful video. My wife is very much like you. She would get lunch money from her parents in Alcala, Pangasinan, but would end up spending it on her classmates that had no food.

This will be a better world. I agree.
Powerful. Story. Narrative. It’s a life’s work.
Yes it is Robert! 😌
Hi Shay, you have a wonderful Sole. The Bible speak about woman like you. I pray I find a woman like you.
Wow, thank you Russell! I am sure you will meet someone. You have a wonderful soul too! Your words show that. Happy Holidays!
You're an angel Shay! Handing out his product's might help with more people buying from him in the future. Hope you saved a few for yourself and your daughters, it looked pretty good!

I had a 3 day layover at Clark A.F.B in Pampanga Luzon, March 1976. Very beautiful. As I wondered around the county side exploring I saw many beautiful things and met some of the most amazing people ever. I really fell in love with the Philippines. On the sad part was that I also saw things that would make a grown man cry. I never knew poverty like that ever existed. I told myself that someday I will make a difference. That I have each time I have gone back. Soon my plan is to move there permanently, to do what I can and hopefully put many smiles on many faces...
I will never be 2 tired for shay u are a very special lady god has special plans 💖 for u lol
Thank you so much Johnny! I am so happy that you enjoy my videos!

Hello Shay, a very kind gesture, at least some people will know how good his products are in terms of sampling thanks to you, hopefully, that will attract more people over time to continue to purchase his goods along with him growing a better connections within the community.
Yes Dharri! I hope more people will visit Elmer and buy his products so he can go home early and be with his wife and family. Little things go a long way! Happy Holidays!

Such a wonderfully beautiful video, Shay...
Thank you so much Scott!
Nice video , so true, be thankful for what you have , not bitter for what you don't have !
Yes, always be thankful for what we have...
Beautifully done Shay. Elmer's happiness is his understanding of thankfulness. Your happiness is being helpful to others. Elmer understood that by letting you help him he was helping you be happy. It's well know that when you are sad or depressed or going through a hard time in life that the best way to help yourself is to help others. In the West pleasure is confused with happiness. Pleasure is temporary, happiness is a mindset that always involves others. Thank you for this reminder of what happiness looks and feels like.
Those were words of wisdom. Thank you so much, Stan.
Shay, You made me cry.
Every time I watch someone's video and you are in it, you say or do something, ALWAYS a Notch above normal, always.
I get it. I follow your thinking.
This is the FIRST video I have seen that was yours and now Im thinking, HOW Can I support this gentleman, to give him time off...?
Then it hit me, she's doin this EVERY Monday..
I'll just admit now, YOU are AMAZING and you not only KNOW how to relay the message IN person, but ON FILM..to us, the viewer.

Hello Shay I stumbled on this video of yours and I must say you are doing a wonderful job that was a blessing what you did for that elderly gentleman. You have a very pleasant speaking voice and it's a pleasure listening to your narrative as you explain the contents of your video's you have a real calling for doing narrative voice overs work.
