There is shopee and lazada here in the philippines. Also if your going to go shopping bgc is not really a good place to shop. Good thing you went to guadalupe which is more reasonably priced. If i may suggest ask the consierge about the bgc bus. They have pick up and drop off points all around the bgc area and its very cheap compared to taxis. Theres a huge station by the ayala mrt station in edsa and it goes to the west and east sides of bgc. Its a lot cheaper. All you need is secure a "beep card" and you can put 20 - 10000 pesos on it. You just have to tap it riding the bus. You can use the same beep card to ride the trains so its erally convenient. Goodluck and congratulations again on your new homebase!
This is so awesome, Mergim! I'm actually enjoying this kind of vlog. You really are becoming like a local. You can pretty much get around with little difficulty. Take care and stay safe!
There are several BPOs or Call Centers in that area! - All over Metro Manila in fact. That's why fastfoods and commercial areas are open 24/7. I work in Legato that's visible from you window. Call Centers abound in this country. In fact, the Philippines is the number one BPO when it comes to voiced Customer Service. The BPOs are scattered in Metro Manila, Cebu, Iloilo City, Batangas, Baguio, Clark, Davao, Bohol, Ilocos Sur, etc.
Very upbeat and positive. I also enjoyed characters like tambourine girl from previous videos, scooter taxi drivers and coffee shop employee from the current one. Juvy also seemed nice :) A lot of interesting characters and plenty of useful info.
I like this guy as a vlogger he was a good content creator. Most of us do not live in a condo building and don't know what beautiful it was I lived in a countryside in the middle of a ricefield away from noisy hustle Manila. Congrats to your beautiful studio
A lot would swap or trade place with u if only they could , even me i would love to live in your lovely countryside with fresh air and fresh food plus away from noise , but it’s not as easy as 1,2,3 😁
Amazing video quality as always Mergim. Ive been watching your vlogs since that day you were sitting in a park in Thailand talking about why vloggers are moving here in Philippines. And now look at you, living here in Philippines and looks like you are settling here. Way to ho Mergim! Good choice settling in BGC as your homebase. Actually Shopee is more cheaper than Lazada. Always stay safe.
04:49 that sound is very common in the Philippines. It's the building mating call to attract other buildings to mate with it. That explains the building boom in BGC. Completely normal phenomenon.
I think you should consider buying your own motorbike, if you intend to stay long term. You can also take the bike out of town to other provinces, and even put the bike on a ferry to cross the islands.👍. Your purchases for today are really reasonable and budget friendly.
@@ladyingrid8842 they use waze or any GPS. Even the newcomers surprisingly can navigate their way around the metro and the provinces. Vloggers have their way and guts to move around. 👍
🎩🌺🌴Sir Mergim, your finally in your home away from home, and it looks like your doing extremely well. All the very best, greetings from New York City.You still have the very best Travel Vlog, on You Tube, thanks for always entertaining and informing us, with your curiosity sense of adventure, and humor and investment of time money and adventure. Your showcasing the Beautiful Philippines, and it's lovely sights, and wonderful happy people. May you always have safe travels, good luck. Never lose your sense of adventure. God Bless you, and the Philippines. 🙏🎩🌺🌴👍🇵🇭
It seems that you have a knack for finding bargain prices for everything from your residential place to those essential household items like blankets, pillows, etc. Things just line up for you to encounter them. Good for you.
it's all coming together Mergim! Love how you moved the bed and replaced the space with your lounge chair. Beautiful place! ❤️ kind regards from Gold Coast Australia!❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I like this kind of vlog, shopping for home/unit items and essentials. Pls do a condo tour after you've done all the furnishings. I know its not your thing, but it would be interesting to see updates of your life in the Philippines every now and then.
So happy for u! Imagine a simple video of u having sooo much thoughts if ull visit the philippines or not n look at u now!! U own a condo in bgc n making it as a homebase!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
Congratulations on your new place. Now that you're getting even more settled in, I'll predict that you're going to see a dramatic rise in your subscribership. I have followed you from the very start of your move to the Philippines. All best with everything.
Nice to see you shopping in a lower price, you are mixing with the most Filipinos, we love budget friendly and sale products. Not living for a vlog to be luxurious only. 😊
You are really smart to shop in cheap haunts like Divisoria, Guadalupe check also Baclaran its even cheaper there than Divi or even around Quiapo for your kitchen supplies.
Good morning Mergim...I’m so happy for you! Congrats on your new place. I’m pretty sure you’re relieved and happy. Finally found a condo to rent where you’re comfortable especially the location. I have to say you found it very quick! You should do Q n A for your subs n viewers when you get settled in.
You should explore ordering items from Lazada or Shopee. Way cheaper there. Especially if you don’t need it urgently. Hope to see you around BGC when I do my walking tours, Mergim!
Good decision mergim ,Good luck 🤞 on your new condo I'm watching you..im actually on holiday back in the 🇵🇭 with my english husband and son!!loving it to be back home ,,,
Yes, we also have Lazada here. You can compare the prices of items versus Shopee and order from the cheaper one. But I find Shopee prices cheaper on the same items. 👍
Mergim, check your audio in that place where you are planning to have your studio. The room has so much reverb. You might need to put a thick curtain on the glass window and a thick carpet for the floor. If you are serious about getting better acoustics you might have to buy acoustic boards. Congrats on the new crib. Keep it up.
I love watching your channel I am a Filipino but I’ve been living here in the United States and I left a manila in 1977 I never came back to visit so by watching your channel I feel like I am back again and see the Philippines and thank you very much for touring the city which I used to love but now my home is San Francisco California hopefully when I retire I’ll be back to see my original country but nevertheless I love love watching your channel keep on blogging it’s very entertaining
You live in San Francisco, me in Los Angeles our cities are both messed up, Phillipines is booming , wish I can visit there is more fun this time of the year
wow mergim a few months ago, i watched your vlog for the first time where you were sitting in a park in Thailand talking about why people are leaving thailand for the philippines… now you’re Living in the philippines. that was quick! lol! whappened to Maya? hope she visits u soon in your new place! congrats on your apartment bro! at least you know the fire alarm works! lol stay safe!
Will be seeing you around as I'm only working in a nearby building. Apart from TrueValue, there is a Japan Home Center in Uptown Mall where you can buy cheap items without going too far from your home. For groceries, it's cheaper to go to Landmark near Highstreet but nearest is Landers and Rustan's Marketplace (below Uptown Mall). Landers has a booth in Uptown Mall where you can enroll for membership card cheaper rather than enrolling on Landers itself. Free haircut, just present a store receipt (a can of soda will do).
Gud morning, Mergim... nice watching you in Alobihod beach Resthouse.....tho so "bitin" coz you have not explored other stunning sites there....and you have yet to taste Guimaras' sweetest mangoes. Anyway I love this video of Alobihod. Wer to, next Mergs? Halong...God bless.
I am in Toronto.Saw your blog in Thailand expressing your disappointment and that you were going to the Philippines. First blogg in the Philippines I shared your video to my friends in the Philippines and asked them to subscribe and I know they're happy they found you to. Enjoy my homeland.
Yeah, that false alarm was a fire alarm. I'm staying at a neighboring building by the same developer, and we get the same thing about once a month. I've been told that it's likely a maintenance issue that causes the alarms to be tripped during the witching hour. I occasionally worked nights during my first job, and stuff straight out of the comedy/supernatural genre used to happen like clockwork during those hours. But that's probably not the case here, it's probably just wear and tear. At any rate, I dig the commentary and the presentation style. Welcome to BGC, brother.
Hi Sir Mervin, thank you for vlogging about Uptown BGC, your Condo Uptown Residence, is the first condo build in Uptown Township by Megaworld which I have represented for 13 years now. I actually have 4 clients, that own a unit, in Uptown Residence. #IAmMegaworldAbePagtama
you can buy in shopee longer curtain its cheaper so you wont go to divisoria its good that you've changed your bedroom into living room so you can see and enjoy the view. just take care and God bless you mergim👍✌😍🙏🇵🇭 congrats on your new condo.
A Fleece blanket can also be turned into decorative for a sofa which many in Spain are doing, like what I do. Try it to make your living room less mundane. Hold the two ends of the fleece market, into a V shape, then spread it gently on the sofa
Good you have your home settled. It's okay to buy those cheaper beddings but quality is something you should check too. Hope those are comfy to sleep in. 👍🤙
Watching your vlogs makes me want to get a condo unit there! So accessible to everything! Great location! Any idea how much is the resale price in One Uptown?
Good that u flashed ur address on screen ..maybe generous subscribers might send u packages anytime..be ready for unboxing vlogs😁 keep safe too coz people saw ur address already..
Back to following your interesting and enjoyable vlog.
Same thoughts and interests here.
One thing that never change is the quality of your video, it’s awesome!

Actually Shopee is more cheaper than Lazada.
Always stay safe.
Lazada has way more variety and selections though.

Hi.. Mergims.. Greetings from middle east.. It's overwhelming that u choose my country... I like ur content
There are a lot of call centers that are operating 24 hours, 7 days a week around that area. The coffee shop caters to the call centers workers.
Welcome to the Philippines
That is a good-looking concierge
Welcome back Mergim. hehehe.
nice view
Put some plants , mirrors to make the place bigger , do it slowly ! & Pretty soon you have a nice home
As always keep safe wherever u go. Observe people around u
Lazada is also available here in the Philippines, SEA actually
Good that u flashed ur address on screen ..maybe generous subscribers might send u packages anytime..be ready for unboxing vlogs😁 keep safe too coz people saw ur address already..
