Another video of the Philippines, I took while walking around Bogo City in Northern Cebu, Philippines. This time though, I’m harassing my girlfriend, Jessie. Actually our neighbour with the rooster turned out to be just fine, I like him better than most! But, her trying to not answer me then letting it slip is a riot to me.
“That Was Just Talk”
“What was it if it wasn’t true.” Did you notice, I never got an answer?
And of course, the roosters can be heard loud and clear in this video. I think that should be the trademark sound of the Philippines and the national bird too!
Now before I got here, she told me I could video tape her at any time I wanted too. Of course, once I got here she was much less brave and complained any time the camera was on her. As you can see though, I persist. I sure wish I had a digital video camera. As soon as I get rich from all the money I make on the web (when I do) I will get a digital video cam.
She is pretty good at pestering me too but don’t tell her I said that. Me though, I’m the master pester. Harassing me, its generally means you’re going to catch all heck later.
“I Admit I Am Wrong”
If the camera had not been on, she would have never admitted she was wrong. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her say it before or after. I’ve never heard any Filipina say it.
I have a lot of videos of the Philippines. They are all casual. I will share them as I can. I will have more video tape soon. I was told I could get it on Colon Street in Cebu City but I have never been able to find any. So this time, I went ahead and ordered it from Amazon when I made my last purchase.
I think He’s a Little Confused
Now did the Southern Boy come shining through when I said that? That is definitely a Southern Thing. Its okay, so am I and its too bad the rest of you are not. Jessie once told me it sounds like I’m singing when I talk That’s really a nice thing, I think.

Nice video Rusty, just wish it was longer. Hey that was a gay at the end right ? I know alot of them there in the Phils.
I mean I know there’s alot of them there, not that I personally know any, just to clarify my last comment.
LOL Yes it was “a gay” and in case people don’t understand. That’s the way it is said here. Its not an offensive way to say it as I think it would be in the USA.
I’m about to ad another one, well, if my connection will last long enough for me to get it uploaded!
Wow Rusty your videos are very helpful to me I really like the fact that they are personal and show the non glamored up side. i plan on taking a 1 month long vacation to the Visayas in the beginning part of the year and am flirting with the idea of retiring there someday.
Visiting first is a good idea but a short visit can also leave one without the full picture. It can be quite a shock till you get use to it!
Hit enter before I meant too.
Yeah they like to glam it up. I like to show it all I find beauty in these shanties. At several levels, not just the eyes.
I need to work on my vids. I have so much more to put up!
Seems I have more ideas than time. And more demands on my time than I can meet.
You know I have actually been to Bogo once. I made reservations at a beach resort up there for my entire Filipino family. We spent the whole weekend there. It was at Virgin Beach Resort. We had a pretty good time there. There was another resort I wanted to try there called Skips that I wanted to try for next time though. Any input on that one?
Anyway the reason I was writing was I wanted to let you know I was going to put a link from my URL, http://texaninthephilippines.com to yours. We think along the same wave length I think, because I don’t like to sugar coat only the good things about the Philippines. I tell it like it is, because, let’s face it, these people will be giving up a lot to move here.
Please check out my site, if you find it is useless or you don’t want to be associated with it for some reason, let me know, and I’ll remove your URL from my site.
Thanks!
Thanks for the link but I didn’t see it.
I don’t know what Skip’s Resort is like these days. I’ve never gone there. Skipped seemed like a really cool guy but he died over a year ago. I wish I had had the chance to meet him.
Great video! and yeah you are right that we seldom or hardly admit were wrong. For us Silence means Sorry but if were right we can talked non stop too… depending on the situation of course.
A couple of Red Horse, or a four SM help get those tongues loosened up. I always say something stupid when I start, which is rare. If I get something wrong, let me know. I really like to have the feedback of Filipinos as it helps me learn.
