When content creator Mia first received an invitation to appear on the Relationship Method podcast, she thought it might be a scam. Having heard stories of other creators losing their social media accounts to hackers posing as podcast hosts, she approached with caution. That wariness quickly dissolved into laughter and genuine connection as she and host Chris discovered their shared Filipino heritage and similar life experiences.
From the humidity of Washington state to the dry heat of Arizona, Mia's geographical journey mirrors her personal evolution. She reveals how her content creation began as a form of grief therapy after losing her mother four years ago. "I was her little entertainer," Mia shares with touching vulnerability, explaining how making others laugh helped her process her loss while honoring her mother's encouragement to pursue comedy and performance.
The conversation weaves through cultural touchstones that will resonate with Filipino-Americans and anyone navigating multiple cultural identities. Chris and Mia trade stories about superstitions they still observe—from not sweeping after a death to apologizing to ant mounds that might house "duende" (mythical dwarves). Their shared laughter over these beliefs highlights how cultural practices travel across oceans and generations, remaining powerful even when their practitioners recognize their amusing nature.
Mental health emerges as a surprisingly central theme, with both host and guest opening up about therapy, family dynamics, and healing from parental relationships. Mia's candid discussion of her narcissistic father and Chris's revelation about abandonment issues create a safe space for listeners facing similar challenges. Their mutual discovery—that meaningful conversations with their fathers only happened when the men had been drinking—illustrates how many find pathways to connection despite communication barriers.
Discover how cultural identity shapes our relationships, beliefs, and creative expression. Follow Mia's content across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok under "ventures with Mia" to experience her unique blend of humor and cultural commentary that's resonating with audiences worldwide.

They will hate you what youwear, how you, you know, dress
yourself or how you I mean ithappened to celebrities as well.

You know, saying people arestarting to cancel everybody,
but they keep going and thenthose haters will like die down
and, you know, shut the hell upoh, definitely after a while so
you just gotta keep it, keepgoing oh good, or or actually I
just started this too, like I'llsay, like a year ago.
(18:47):
um, I only read comments, likemaybe the first 20 comments.
As soon as I post that video, II'll engage to only 20 comments
, then after that I won't evenlook at it anymore.
Does that make sense?
(19:08):
I don't want to bump intonegative comments or just
whatever that's a good tip.
That's how you're going toprotect your mental health.
Mental health is very important.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Hmm, that's a good tip, yeah so that's how you're
going to protect your mentalhealth?
Oh, mental health is veryimportant.
And like speak on mental health, speak on mental health.
Growing up, right, I only grewup with a dad, so my mental
health was, it was justnon-existent.
It's like oh, I'm hurt.
Oh, walk it off.
(19:40):
My feelings are hurt.
What feelings you don't have?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
feelings how, how toxic is like the old school
filipino family I would sayevery filipino some most, I say
most okay, yeah yeah they'revery toxic as fuck bro, oh my
(20:05):
god.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
so you're telling me, like when my sister brought
home like her first blackboyfriend, oh my gosh, my dad
was like, no, you know, but hecame around.
Know, he finally came aroundbecause he started.
I started bringing a lot of myfriends around and they were you
know different ethnicities.
And he was like, oh they are.
(20:29):
You know, chris's friends arepretty cool and you know, I'm
bringing home, you know blackfriends Mexican, white, japanese
, whatever and they're like, oh,cool.
So he finally opened up to mysister's boyfriend.
So that's like one toxic trend.
He was like no black people, no, I don't like them.
No, because of what they'reportrayed on TV, right, yeah,
(20:51):
that's stupid yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I mean I can relate to that, because my husband is
black and white.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Uh-huh.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
So I mean my that, because my husband is black and
white, uh-huh, so I mean my.
The only issue I have is is my,my father uh-huh because he was
, he's, he's the same way, buthe's.
It took a while to accept him,yeah, but then there's like a
mixed feelings, emotions inthere, though I don't know if he
(21:22):
was there's a racism in thereor he just completely don't like
my husband.
I don't know what it was.
It was so hard to like read him, but I would just say, yeah,
maybe it is racism but I'll justsay, yeah, maybe it is.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, oh.
So when I brought, when Ibrought girls around, my dad, uh
, he would always say, oh, Idon't like her, I don't like her
.
One is because he wanted me tomarry like a filipina.
And I tell you like back in theday, I didn't like any type of
filipinas, because I knew whatcame with it.
You know, I was like no way, Iam not marrying one, no way.
So, uh, he, he didn't like thegirls that I, you know that I
(22:11):
would introduce him to andeverything.
And I was like, dang, this guyjust doesn't like no one you
know.
So you know, he finally camearound to like, say, accepting
the people I would bring homebecause he trusted my, like, my
character, you know.
But it really did take him awhile.
(22:33):
Now my grandparents, oh my god,I think they were super racist
with everyone except forFilipinos.
They were not open to everyoneexcept for Filipinos, they were
not open to anything.
And I'm talking about, like,the grandparents that lived in
the Philippines and then theycome to America for a little bit
and they're like I don't likeAmerica no more.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
so send me back.
It's not me, it's not mine.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, send me back, I hate it here.
So yeah, that's how mygrandparents were, so they
didn't like nobody which youknow I respected.
I was like okay, you only knowthat, you only know the
Philippines, I respect it.
You know I get it.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yeah, see, not everyone, because my grandma was
hella cool.
Speaker 3 (23:15):

I can just feel that thatnegative spirit there Is.
It same with you.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, yeah.
Why is that?
Why is?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
it when you know an outsider because I still
consider myself an outsiderbecause I don't live there why
is it like you?
Just, you get some sort offeeling.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I don't know.
I really don't know, but everytime I go home I'm always scared
In that house that I alwaysstay at.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 2 (26:32):

Can you turn that off please?
Like, oh, my God, I know you, Iknow you, I know you, I know
you, I feel you, I feel you somuch.
I'm like that at home too.
I don't know why it's like that, though you know what and this
is because I'm talking to a lotof people, right, they tell me
(27:02):
that there's something veryspiritual with the Philippines.
You know how, philippines,they're highly religious in the
Philippines, right?
So that's good, right.
So, of course, with the good,it comes with the bad.
So that's when all those badspirits and stuff, so it's like
it.
You know all those bad spiritsand stuff, so it's like it's
balancing them out.
(27:22):
But I think, really, thePhilippines is something about
the equator as well, likethere's some type of phenomenon
that makes the Filipinos believethat there's bad things, and
it's like, I guess, happening,you know.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, maybe that's it , you know.
Yeah, maybe that's it, kasihalos lahat yata naniniwala sa
mga ganun really the bad.
You know the capri, the windedall that, so do you?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
is there any superstitious things that you
you know, like you brought fromyou know that you lived in the
Philippines that you bring tothe house now?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
no, oh, no, so like I you brought from the.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
You know that you lived in the Philippines that
you bring to the house now.
No, oh no, so like I don't.
So in the Philippines, right,oh, no so, okay, so in the
Philippines, right, you're not.
When someone dies, you're notsupposed to sweep, because if
you sweep, the bad spirit.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Oh, the same yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, so I don't do that, I still do that oh really.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
No, I mean, I follow those.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Oh yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
What my grandma always tell me yeah, yeah, you
know when, when you're sweatingout there you play sports or
whatever.
When you come home don't shower.
Yet they say when you wet yourbody, you get this, you'll get a
(28:46):
cold.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah, yeah yeah, that's what it means in English.
I don't know, I sometimes can'tspeak myself, but no, I totally
understand that.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, or like hey, don't Baka mabasag yung mirror.
Pag nabasag niyang mirror,you're gonna have bad luck for
the rest of your life, ganon.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
So what she's saying everyone is If you break a
mirror, you're gonna have badluck for the rest of your life.
Yeah, ok, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Oh, I guess Stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I believe in that Right.
Why is that?
Why is it that you know the old, you know grandparents stories?
They stick to us and we're likewe're really cautious in not
that happening now.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Because, like, when I pass by, like a little mound,
right, I know it's an ant mound,I know what's in there, it's
ants, right.
But when I pass it, I'm like,okay, I'm sorry, I'm passing by,
like.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I say sorry to her because you're right here right.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Or like when I see, when I'm driving, and I see,
like you know, a white lady,right, I'll make sure to like I
don't know what's the story withthe white lady.
Are you supposed to pick it up?
What did you hear?
You're supposed to pick it upor just keep on going?
Speaker 2 (30:09):

keep following you.

Yeah, you keep on following.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Isn't the white lady the one that?
Oh no, that's?
I thought it was like if you'repregnant, they're going to
follow you.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I thought it was when you're pregnant, the, what is
it called?
The half lady?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Oh, the one that they touch from the bottom and then
they start flying like this yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I forgot what it's called, but they're the ones
that.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
So that's they go on the roof.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, they go on the roof and their tongue comes down
from the roof through the bellyto get the unborn.
And then they fly away.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
So the white lady?

All I know is you know you seeone you're like yeah you're, you
gotta hurry up and take off andwhatever you can do, but you

because I always tell people, when they ask me how
did you meet your husband?
I'll always say um high schoolsweetheart.
But I just found out we'rereally not high school
sweetheart, because we didn'tstart talking or dating after I
graduated high school.
Yes, I'm older than him oh, oh,okay.
It's one year, okay, only oneyear.
(34:16):
Okay, cougar, okay, but we wentto high school together,
obviously.
And on my last, on my senioryear.
That's when I start seeing himon the math building hallway.
Oh nerd, no, because that wasour.
(34:40):
He had a.
His first subject was math, andI have math with a different
teacher, though.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
So every time I go into the door and then I'll see
him sitting in front of his uh,math class and I was just.
This is every morning.
I'll see him and he would justlike look like, stared down on
me, just up and down oh, fuckingcreepy ass and math you know
(35:12):
like yeah, yeah, who, who doesthat?
Yeah, right, so I'll walk.
This is everyday.
He would even break his necklike I'll look back like low key
and he's still fucking staring.
I'm like what the heck?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
wow, you're pretty huh.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
I'm like, why don't you just talk to me or say, hi
so after I graduated, which?
Is 2006, um, I think I'll saylike couple months later we met
at safeway is there a?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
safeway there in hawaii oh yeah there's a safeway
, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
So we met in safeway.
We kind of like bump into eachother.
When I was walking out I waswith my cousin and he was coming
in and we kind of locked in eyeto eye like hey, I know this
guy.
Kind of like that look.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah, like I know you .
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah, and then I told my cousin.
I'm like I know that dude fromhigh school, that's that creepy
ass that keep looking at me inthe hallway, yeah, and I was
like like, do you like him?
I was like no, and then hereshe goes.
I said no, and then like shewent back and said, hey, my
(36:26):
cousin likes you I'm like ohhell, no, so that's where it
started.
So if my cousin didn't like,approached him uh he wouldn't.
I don't think he would ever sayhi or ask my number wow, wow
safeway huh, yep wow what a whata cute love story.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Huh, that's cute.
No, not really.
Nah, that's more of creepy.
No, actually.
No, it's not creepy, it's moreof a thank you, cousin, for the
assist.
Right, yeah, thank you.
So back in high school did yousay hi to everyone when you were
passing by the hallways, orwere you more to yourself?
(37:13):
Because back in high schoolschool I said hi to everyone fat
, small mexican white, I'm likeso you're a social butterfly,
huh, no, no way, I was just um,because I guess back in high
school I knew that one day inthe future I'm gonna see him
again and I don't want them tobe like oh man, there's that
(37:34):
asshole that never said hi to meand I pass by him like every
day in the same hall, or it'sone of those, because I was a
child kid and I wanted someoneto say hi to me too.
So maybe that person was melike oh, I am, I am seen.
So this guy saying hi to me islike oh, I am someone you know,
(37:55):
I was like real conscious, likethat back in high school.
So were you that same type ofperson?
Or were you like oh, here we go, go to class.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Go to class.
I always yeah, I always lookdown.
I don't want to be bothered.
That's when I just now find outthat I'm an introvert.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Really.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I'm an introvert too.
I introvert, really, I'm anintrovert too.
I know how to turn it on.
Oh my gosh manang, if you justsay hi here and there when you
see people for to be noticed,that's not introvert, social?
Speaker 1 (38:24):
no, no way.
Like, when I'm like in a crowd,I'm like, I'm by myself, like
I'm I don't.
If I don't know anyone, I'm bymyself.
Or like, if I see someone, I'mgoing to be attracted to that
someone and I'm going to staywith that person until hey, this
is chris, oh.
Hey, this is my friend mia.
Oh okay, hey, and then I'llchop it up right, but if it's
(38:47):
just me and that person, I'msticking to that person or I'm
going home.
Oh, okay well, yeah, I was, wasan introvert.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
I think it's.
I think it's because, at thesame time, I was scared too,
because I was bullied.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
No way.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Really so back in high school.
You don't look like the way youdo now.
You look no.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
What long hair.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
I was skinny, I was a cardboard, I was flat
everywhere, spongebob, you knowmy body was like shape of.
Spongebob square.
I was skinny, Like I was skinand bones back in the day.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Okay, I have braces.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
My glasses.
I have eyeglasses.
My glasses was this thick oh,me too.
You know, like when it's thicklike that, your eyes from
outside look.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Yes, no small.
Oh, mine look big.
Yeah, mine look big Because Icouldn't see far.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah, I couldn't see far.
That was my problem.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Oh really.
Oh, we have something in common.
It was mine.
We're blind as hell.
I know we're blind as hell.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Yeah, oh okay.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yeah, I was bullied Because of my accent I have like
hardcore accent back in the day, I still do uh so um no yeah, I
was bullied how did you, uh,how did you handle, like the
bullies in school, like, whatdid you do to you know, keep on
going.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
You just let it happen.
Oh, you ignored it.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Yeah, even though I was hurt as hell, like I just
kept walking away and just youknow, try to forget about it.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Oh, do you think kids , nowadays it's like the
bullying is much more worse thanit was before, back in our time
I don't want us to sound old,but back in our day was it?
Is it harder now than it wasbefore the bullying?
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Or same same.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Yeah, cause you know how social media is now.
You know like everything couldget posted back in our time when
we get bullied.
It was more of like an inschool you got to be there, type
of thing you know what, if?
Speaker 2 (41:13):
if I a perspective, you know, as a content creator,
I would say now I get bulliedmore now, specifically with
freaking adults uh-huh likethey're, they're like the worst
bully ever right, it's like whyuh-huh?
(41:36):
Yeah, it's crazy, yeah, it'sworse now I think it's.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Uh, I think it's because, since you have such a
high social media following, Ithink it's just them trying to
get a reaction out of you so youcould talk to them.
Do you ever think that way?
Speaker 2 (41:53):
sometimes like they're seeking attention uh-huh
so there's some days that I dogive them attention, like when,
when they still have the optionyou can pin.
Yeah, you can pin the thecomments, I would do that.
So, okay, you want attention,go ahead and then my followers
will give them attention.
(42:14):
Oh, okay, the video will youknow?
Speaker 1 (42:18):
so they get bullied uh-huh, but I don't wow you
don't follow it, necessarily nothat's good, that is so good.
Are you?
Is Washington your finaldestination as a family, or do
you guys ever have any othertalks of like, say, moving to
another place, another coldplace like Washington?
Speaker 2 (42:41):
cold place.
I hate the cold yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
Well, I mean, you're in Washington, so it's kind of
muggy over there.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
And for your husband's sake too.
Not at the moment, butspecifically with the economy
right now, I think it will stayput for until you know.
I don't know when it getsbetter, but we were actually
wanting to go back to Arizonabecause we missed that.
(43:09):
The sunny days, but once thegirls graduate and they move out
and do their own thing, me andmy husband planning on to move.
Whether that's like Philippinesor Thailand, I don't know.

Yeah, but I'm better now.
I'm good yeah that's good yourtherapy does a long way.
Huh yeah, we're growing.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
I know we're still growing.
Speaker 1 (49:10):
Really Right Shit.
The expenses you put in fortherapy, and the crying and the
freaking, overthinking and allof that yeah, oh, my God, girl,
I was so opposed to therapy andI was like, no, i'm'm a man, I'm
(49:32):
not supposed to go.
I'm supposed to deal with myfeelings like you know the way,
I know how.
But then the army told me to goto therapy and I'm like, okay,
I'll go.
And then ever since then I'vebeen going like once a week to
therapy and it helped out a lotbecause I know how to
communicate a little bit more.
I know how to, let's say, intherapy they teach me how to.
(49:53):
I could control my feelings.
I can't control what you reactor how you know.
So, yeah, I like therapy a lot.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
It's like it's someone non-biased you know, yes
, and you feel, you feel sogreat after, like, I was gonna
ask you a question um, so isyour mom in your life right now?
No, well, that's okay, I likeit.
(50:23):
Go ahead, gointerview.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
Oh, she's not.
That's okay, I like it.
Go ahead.
Go ahead, ask me.
Oh, no, she's not.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
Was she ever?
Speaker 1 (50:33):
For a little bit, yeah, but she was like in and
out, so she was in for a littlebit out and then the final time
was when I think when I was inlike the ending of elementary
school for me elementary.
That's when she was like gone.
Speaker 3 (50:56):
Gone why.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
So I was like okay.
So my dad was like okay.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
I'll take care of you guys.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
I'm like hey, all right, high five yeah.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
Wait, so was your dad ever there.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
My dad was there all the time.
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Then why would he say okay, I'll take care of you
guys?
Speaker 1 (51:14):
No, I mean, you know, like he didn't leave.
That's what I meant.
Oh, to be like the mom and thedad.
Yeah, yeah, oh, okay, I thought, like it was never in the
picture.
Yeah, isn't it?
Yeah, is it not hard, though,like your?
Speaker 2 (51:33):
dad how your dad is like the toxic it's.
It was a little off of that.
You have a mom issue like yeah,it was hard it is.
Speaker 1 (51:38):
It's very difficult but, like with my dad, like I
knew how to, I guess I knew howto talk to him to where.
Uh, I guess I knew how tocommunicate with my dad in my
own way.
You know, so, like I guess,when he's a little bit of drunk,
you know, when he's a littledrunk, I know when to have that
heart-to-heart talk with him,because he's God, we can still
(52:01):
relate yeah, so his levels ofhis wall is lessened, so I know
how to like.
Oh yeah, I can talk to him now.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
You're more chill, right?
Speaker 1 (52:10):
Yeah, yeah, you're drunk, yeah because my dad had
like two, three jobs, so I knewhis stress levels were high.
So if he was like inebriated, alittle drunk, his defenses is
low, like he could relax for alittle bit.
That's when I know I can talkto him.
Speaker 2 (52:30):
That's same low Like he could relax for a little bit.
That's when I know I could talkto him.
Speaker 1 (52:31):
That's same here.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (52:33):
The only time I can like open up to him about just
things are when he's drunk.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
Yeah right, why is that?
Why do you think is that?
Speaker 2 (52:43):
Or just having like a session of like drinking and
shit yeah, having like a sessionof like drinking and shit yeah,
every time.
Speaker 1 (52:47):
Why does that?
Why do you think that lowersdown people's like, say, walls
when you're kind of buzzed orwhatever?
Speaker 2 (52:58):
I don't know, I really don't know.
Speaker 1 (53:00):
Are you the same way too?
Speaker 2 (53:01):
Not that we're talking about this, what that's
when I'm able to.
Speaker 1 (53:06):
Yeah, like to say Express my feelings.
Yeah, more when you're a littlebit, you know, inebriated, no,
okay.
Speaker 2 (53:16):

body, right.
So every time he's in the sunit flares up.
(04:19):
Like in the heat it flares up,but when he's in the cold he
doesn't get as itchy.
You know, I think it's sometype of psoriasis or whatever.
I believe in that.
I believe in the anting-antingand the you know.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Oh yes.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
So, much.
Speaker 2 (15:59):

Like, how do I explain it?
There are times that I have tolike pull myself and take a
break from social media.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Oh really.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Oh yeah, because so many of like racism to like
name-calling, to just you know,specifically when I do lip
syncing I'm using like movieaudio yeah like you know, I'm
saying like it's not really mywork, work, yeah, or my script,
(16:33):
but I'm reenacting in it,putting some ump into that audio
, yeah.
And people would tell me like,oh, get your originality.
Like why are you copywritingsomebody's work?
Uh-huh, shut the fuck up, bro.
Like everybody's doing this?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
No, I totally understand.
I understand it's like everyoneelse is doing it.
Why are you singling me out?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Right.
Right, I totally understandit's like, internet is a
different freaking zoo man.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
It's a fucking app.
Yeah, so for people that likesay are you know following your
footsteps, like you know makingthese videos like what's a good,
like what's a good hint, orlike how can, how can you like
tell them like don't like thediscouraging words, like do you
have any tips for them to likekeep on going, especially when
there's people out there likebashing on their content or
(17:31):
bashing on their character?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Wait, I didn't get that question.
Oh so, do you have any?
Do you have any like tips?
We're like cutting off.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Oh, I'm sorry, Am oh so do you have any?
Tips.
We're like cutting off.
Oh, I'm sorry, am I better now?
I think so.
Abc, did that go through?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Okay, so do you have any encouraging words for people
that are doing what you'redoing and they're getting these
bad comments?
Do you have any tips for them?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah, just keep, keep going, don't stop keep going
there.
It is at the end of the day,people will hate you, no matter
what you do, if it's not contentcreating.
If you're in the public, theywill hate you.
They will hate you what youwear, how you, you know, dress
yourself or how you I mean ithappened to celebrities as well.
(18:24):
You know, saying people arestarting to cancel everybody,
but they keep going and thenthose haters will like die down
and, you know, shut the hell upoh, definitely after a while so
you just gotta keep it, keepgoing oh good, or or actually I
just started this too, like I'llsay, like a year ago.
(18:47):
um, I only read comments, likemaybe the first 20 comments.
As soon as I post that video, II'll engage to only 20 comments
, then after that I won't evenlook at it anymore.
Does that make sense?
(19:08):
I don't want to bump intonegative comments or just
whatever that's a good tip.
That's how you're going toprotect your mental health.
Mental health is very important.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Hmm, that's a good tip, yeah so that's how you're
going to protect your mentalhealth?
Oh, mental health is veryimportant.
And like speak on mental health, speak on mental health.
Growing up, right, I only grewup with a dad, so my mental
health was, it was justnon-existent.
It's like oh, I'm hurt.
Oh, walk it off.
(19:40):
My feelings are hurt.
What feelings you don't have?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
feelings how, how toxic is like the old school
filipino family I would sayevery filipino some most, I say
most okay, yeah yeah they'revery toxic as fuck bro, oh my
(20:05):
god.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
so you're telling me, like when my sister brought
home like her first blackboyfriend, oh my gosh, my dad
was like, no, you know, but hecame around.
Know, he finally came aroundbecause he started.
I started bringing a lot of myfriends around and they were you
know different ethnicities.
And he was like, oh they are.
(20:29):
You know, chris's friends arepretty cool and you know, I'm
bringing home, you know blackfriends Mexican, white, japanese
, whatever and they're like, oh,cool.
So he finally opened up to mysister's boyfriend.
So that's like one toxic trend.
He was like no black people, no, I don't like them.
No, because of what they'reportrayed on TV, right, yeah,
(20:51):
that's stupid yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I mean I can relate to that, because my husband is
black and white.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Uh-huh.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
So I mean my that, because my husband is black and
white, uh-huh, so I mean my.
The only issue I have is is my,my father uh-huh because he was
, he's, he's the same way, buthe's.
It took a while to accept him,yeah, but then there's like a
mixed feelings, emotions inthere, though I don't know if he
(21:22):
was there's a racism in thereor he just completely don't like
my husband.
I don't know what it was.
It was so hard to like read him, but I would just say, yeah,
maybe it is racism but I'll justsay, yeah, maybe it is.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, oh.
So when I brought, when Ibrought girls around, my dad, uh
, he would always say, oh, Idon't like her, I don't like her
.
One is because he wanted me tomarry like a filipina.
And I tell you like back in theday, I didn't like any type of
filipinas, because I knew whatcame with it.
You know, I was like no way, Iam not marrying one, no way.
So, uh, he, he didn't like thegirls that I, you know that I
(22:11):
would introduce him to andeverything.
And I was like, dang, this guyjust doesn't like no one you
know.
So you know, he finally camearound to like, say, accepting
the people I would bring homebecause he trusted my, like, my
character, you know.
But it really did take him awhile.
(22:33):
Now my grandparents, oh my god,I think they were super racist
with everyone except forFilipinos.
They were not open to everyoneexcept for Filipinos, they were
not open to anything.
And I'm talking about, like,the grandparents that lived in
the Philippines and then theycome to America for a little bit
and they're like I don't likeAmerica no more.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
so send me back.
It's not me, it's not mine.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, send me back, I hate it here.
So yeah, that's how mygrandparents were, so they
didn't like nobody which youknow I respected.
I was like okay, you only knowthat, you only know the
Philippines, I respect it.
You know I get it.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yeah, see, not everyone, because my grandma was
hella cool.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Oh really.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, she loves everybody If you love that
person like she.
Yeah, she accepted my husbandoh really she'll show you the
same.
It's like, hey, come here, comehere, my mom is the same way.
Oh really, yeah, that side ofthe family, my mom's side, are
(23:39):
very chill, laid back,respectful, such loving people.
Speaker 1 (23:45):

Speaker 2 (23:46):
You know, like your yellow, purple blue, whoever you
are, they'll respect you andthe hospitality is so A++ with a
side of the family.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
There's a balance in everything, huh.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
You know what's funny though.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Every time I go home every time.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I go home.
I can just feel that thatnegative spirit there Is.
It same with you.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, yeah.
Why is that?
Why is?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
it when you know an outsider because I still
consider myself an outsiderbecause I don't live there why
is it like you?
Just, you get some sort offeeling.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I don't know.
I really don't know, but everytime I go home I'm always scared
In that house that I alwaysstay at.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Oh my gosh, Like I'm constantly looking back, like,
like every time I wash dishes,right?
I'm like oh my gosh, I knowright.
Can you turn that on, please'mlike oh my God, I know right.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Can you turn that off please?
Like, oh, my God, I know you, Iknow you, I know you, I know
you, I feel you, I feel you somuch.
I'm like that at home too.
I don't know why it's like that, though you know what and this
is because I'm talking to a lotof people, right, they tell me
(27:02):
that there's something veryspiritual with the Philippines.
You know how, philippines,they're highly religious in the
Philippines, right?
So that's good, right.
So, of course, with the good,it comes with the bad.
So that's when all those badspirits and stuff, so it's like
it.
You know all those bad spiritsand stuff, so it's like it's
balancing them out.
(27:22):
But I think, really, thePhilippines is something about
the equator as well, likethere's some type of phenomenon
that makes the Filipinos believethat there's bad things, and
it's like, I guess, happening,you know.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, maybe that's it , you know.
Yeah, maybe that's it, kasihalos lahat yata naniniwala sa
mga ganun really the bad.
You know the capri, the windedall that, so do you?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
is there any superstitious things that you
you know, like you brought fromyou know that you lived in the
Philippines that you bring tothe house now?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
no, oh, no, so like I you brought from the.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
You know that you lived in the Philippines that
you bring to the house now.
No, oh no, so like I don't.
So in the Philippines, right,oh, no so, okay, so in the
Philippines, right, you're not.
When someone dies, you're notsupposed to sweep, because if
you sweep, the bad spirit.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Oh, the same yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, so I don't do that, I still do that oh really.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
No, I mean, I follow those.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Oh yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
What my grandma always tell me yeah, yeah, you
know when, when you're sweatingout there you play sports or
whatever.
When you come home don't shower.
Yet they say when you wet yourbody, you get this, you'll get a
(28:46):
cold.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah, yeah yeah, that's what it means in English.
I don't know, I sometimes can'tspeak myself, but no, I totally
understand that.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, or like hey, don't Baka mabasag yung mirror.
Pag nabasag niyang mirror,you're gonna have bad luck for
the rest of your life, ganon.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
So what she's saying everyone is If you break a
mirror, you're gonna have badluck for the rest of your life.
Yeah, ok, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Oh, I guess Stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I believe in that Right.
Why is that?
Why is it that you know the old, you know grandparents stories?
They stick to us and we're likewe're really cautious in not
that happening now.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Because, like, when I pass by, like a little mound,
right, I know it's an ant mound,I know what's in there, it's
ants, right.
But when I pass it, I'm like,okay, I'm sorry, I'm passing by,
like.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I say sorry to her because you're right here right.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Or like when I see, when I'm driving, and I see,
like you know, a white lady,right, I'll make sure to like I
don't know what's the story withthe white lady.
Are you supposed to pick it up?
What did you hear?
You're supposed to pick it upor just keep on going?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I don't know.
All I all I know about thewhite lady is they're going to
keep following you.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Yeah, you keep on following.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Isn't the white lady the one that?
Oh no, that's?
I thought it was like if you'repregnant, they're going to
follow you.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I thought it was when you're pregnant, the, what is
it called?
The half lady?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Oh, the one that they touch from the bottom and then
they start flying like this yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I forgot what it's called, but they're the ones
that.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
So that's they go on the roof.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, they go on the roof and their tongue comes down
from the roof through the bellyto get the unborn.
And then they fly away.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
So the white lady?
I really don't know the storybehind white lady.
All I know is you know you seeone you're like yeah you're, you
gotta hurry up and take off andwhatever you can do, but you
don't look back.

I'll always say um high schoolsweetheart.
But I just found out we'rereally not high school
sweetheart, because we didn'tstart talking or dating after I
graduated high school.
Yes, I'm older than him oh, oh,okay.
It's one year, okay, only oneyear.
(34:16):
Okay, cougar, okay, but we wentto high school together,
obviously.
And on my last, on my senioryear.
That's when I start seeing himon the math building hallway.
Oh nerd, no, because that wasour.
(34:40):
He had a.
His first subject was math, andI have math with a different
teacher, though.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
So every time I go into the door and then I'll see
him sitting in front of his uh,math class and I was just.
This is every morning.
I'll see him and he would justlike look like, stared down on
me, just up and down oh, fuckingcreepy ass and math you know
(35:12):
like yeah, yeah, who, who doesthat?
Yeah, right, so I'll walk.
This is everyday.
He would even break his necklike I'll look back like low key
and he's still fucking staring.
I'm like what the heck?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
wow, you're pretty huh.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
I'm like, why don't you just talk to me or say, hi
so after I graduated, which?
Is 2006, um, I think I'll saylike couple months later we met
at safeway is there a?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
safeway there in hawaii oh yeah there's a safeway
, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
So we met in safeway.
We kind of like bump into eachother.
When I was walking out I waswith my cousin and he was coming
in and we kind of locked in eyeto eye like hey, I know this
guy.
Kind of like that look.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah, like I know you .
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah, and then I told my cousin.
I'm like I know that dude fromhigh school, that's that creepy
ass that keep looking at me inthe hallway, yeah, and I was
like like, do you like him?
I was like no, and then hereshe goes.
I said no, and then like shewent back and said, hey, my
(36:26):
cousin likes you I'm like ohhell, no, so that's where it
started.
So if my cousin didn't like,approached him uh he wouldn't.
I don't think he would ever sayhi or ask my number wow, wow
safeway huh, yep wow what a whata cute love story.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Huh, that's cute.
No, not really.
Nah, that's more of creepy.
No, actually.
No, it's not creepy, it's moreof a thank you, cousin, for the
assist.
Right, yeah, thank you.
So back in high school did yousay hi to everyone when you were
passing by the hallways, orwere you more to yourself?
(37:13):
Because back in high schoolschool I said hi to everyone fat
, small mexican white, I'm likeso you're a social butterfly,
huh, no, no way, I was just um,because I guess back in high
school I knew that one day inthe future I'm gonna see him
again and I don't want them tobe like oh man, there's that
(37:34):
asshole that never said hi to meand I pass by him like every
day in the same hall, or it'sone of those, because I was a
child kid and I wanted someoneto say hi to me too.
So maybe that person was melike oh, I am, I am seen.
So this guy saying hi to me islike oh, I am someone you know,
(37:55):
I was like real conscious, likethat back in high school.
So were you that same type ofperson?
Or were you like oh, here we go, go to class.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Go to class.
I always yeah, I always lookdown.
I don't want to be bothered.
That's when I just now find outthat I'm an introvert.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Really.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I'm an introvert too.
I introvert, really, I'm anintrovert too.
I know how to turn it on.
Oh my gosh manang, if you justsay hi here and there when you
see people for to be noticed,that's not introvert, social?
Speaker 1 (38:24):
no, no way.
Like, when I'm like in a crowd,I'm like, I'm by myself, like
I'm I don't.
If I don't know anyone, I'm bymyself.
Or like, if I see someone, I'mgoing to be attracted to that
someone and I'm going to staywith that person until hey, this
is chris, oh.
Hey, this is my friend mia.
Oh okay, hey, and then I'llchop it up right, but if it's
(38:47):
just me and that person, I'msticking to that person or I'm
going home.
Oh, okay well, yeah, I was, wasan introvert.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
I think it's.
I think it's because, at thesame time, I was scared too,
because I was bullied.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
No way.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Really so back in high school.
You don't look like the way youdo now.
You look no.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
What long hair.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
I was skinny, I was a cardboard, I was flat
everywhere, spongebob, you knowmy body was like shape of.
Spongebob square.
I was skinny, Like I was skinand bones back in the day.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Okay, I have braces.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
My glasses.
I have eyeglasses.
My glasses was this thick oh,me too.
You know, like when it's thicklike that, your eyes from
outside look.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Yes, no small.
Oh, mine look big.
Yeah, mine look big Because Icouldn't see far.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah, I couldn't see far.
That was my problem.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Oh really.
Oh, we have something in common.
It was mine.
We're blind as hell.
I know we're blind as hell.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Yeah, oh okay.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yeah, I was bullied Because of my accent I have like
hardcore accent back in the day, I still do uh so um no yeah, I
was bullied how did you, uh,how did you handle, like the
bullies in school, like, whatdid you do to you know, keep on
going.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
You just let it happen.
Oh, you ignored it.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Yeah, even though I was hurt as hell, like I just
kept walking away and just youknow, try to forget about it.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Oh, do you think kids , nowadays it's like the
bullying is much more worse thanit was before, back in our time
I don't want us to sound old,but back in our day was it?
Is it harder now than it wasbefore the bullying?
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Or same same.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Yeah, cause you know how social media is now.
You know like everything couldget posted back in our time when
we get bullied.
It was more of like an inschool you got to be there, type
of thing you know what, if?
Speaker 2 (41:13):
if I a perspective, you know, as a content creator,
I would say now I get bulliedmore now, specifically with
freaking adults uh-huh likethey're, they're like the worst
bully ever right, it's like whyuh-huh?
(41:36):
Yeah, it's crazy, yeah, it'sworse now I think it's.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Uh, I think it's because, since you have such a
high social media following, Ithink it's just them trying to
get a reaction out of you so youcould talk to them.
Do you ever think that way?
Speaker 2 (41:53):
sometimes like they're seeking attention uh-huh
so there's some days that I dogive them attention, like when,
when they still have the optionyou can pin.
Yeah, you can pin the thecomments, I would do that.
So, okay, you want attention,go ahead and then my followers
will give them attention.
(42:14):
Oh, okay, the video will youknow?
Speaker 1 (42:18):
so they get bullied uh-huh, but I don't wow you
don't follow it, necessarily nothat's good, that is so good.
Are you?
Is Washington your finaldestination as a family, or do
you guys ever have any othertalks of like, say, moving to
another place, another coldplace like Washington?
Speaker 2 (42:41):
cold place.
I hate the cold yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
Well, I mean, you're in Washington, so it's kind of
muggy over there.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
And for your husband's sake too.
Not at the moment, butspecifically with the economy
right now, I think it will stayput for until you know.
I don't know when it getsbetter, but we were actually
wanting to go back to Arizonabecause we missed that.
(43:09):
The sunny days, but once thegirls graduate and they move out
and do their own thing, me andmy husband planning on to move.
Whether that's like Philippinesor Thailand, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
Somewhere in.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
Asia.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
Really, why Asia and not like, say, europe or South
America or any of those otherplaces?
Why did you say Asiaspecifically?
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Because I'm Asian.

It's very difficult but, like with my dad, like I
knew how to, I guess I knew howto talk to him to where.
Uh, I guess I knew how tocommunicate with my dad in my
own way.
You know, so, like I guess,when he's a little bit of drunk,
you know, when he's a littledrunk, I know when to have that
heart-to-heart talk with him,because he's God, we can still
(52:01):
relate yeah, so his levels ofhis wall is lessened, so I know
how to like.
Oh yeah, I can talk to him now.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
You're more chill, right?
Speaker 1 (52:10):
Yeah, yeah, you're drunk, yeah because my dad had
like two, three jobs, so I knewhis stress levels were high.
So if he was like inebriated, alittle drunk, his defenses is
low, like he could relax for alittle bit.
That's when I know I can talkto him.
Speaker 2 (52:30):
That's same low Like he could relax for a little bit.
That's when I know I could talkto him.
Speaker 1 (52:31):

things are when he's drunk.
