Daily Life In Manila Quarantine

I have never ever seen Manila this quiet [Music] morning guys good morning welcome to a new video welcome what even is a Tuesday 17th of March we are here in Metro Manila in the Philippines it is day 2 day 3 of the what they now are calling as of last night an enhanced community quarantine so we've basically all been told to stay indoors other than going out to buy food Lucy and I went to the supermarket last night it was absolutely crazy it was packed everyone as soon as this announcement came out president made a statement as soon as that came out seems like everyone went down to the shops we didn't film anything because we we literally couldn't there was people queuing all around so the supermarket we go to set in two aisles obviously like most supermarkets the queue for the tills was sneaking around every single aisle so not only could you not really queue for your shopping you couldn't even get to the stuff for example the freezers you can get to any of the freezers because those people stood in front of them so it's impossible the shopping took twice as long the queueing took ten times as long so we were in that back two hours we got food we'll show you what we bought we got some food the thing is it's so hard because we've never been in a situation like this so we think we're buying enough food or sensible food that will last but in reality we have no idea because we've never done it before but I think we've got enough and shops are staying open so that's one good thing the app we are basically staying indoors for the forseeable so if you're watching this video we appreciate guys comment below your current situation if you're having to stay indoors whatever country you're from in the world comment below let us know exactly what it's like because here and on our Facebook page and Facebook group people are using the comment as like a bit of a discussion point which really really cool to Seekers interesting for us to either come and see what the situation is like wherever you're from in the world the good thing is we did go out we're about to do a little homework out again which will show you guys we want to encourage everyone watching this video if you are stuck at home to keep keep active keep healthy we've got some tips for you coming up later on in today's video that is really slowly so the last few days we have been going out from today we're going to be not doing that because we're realizing that really how important it is to stay indoors yesterday we walked past some of our usual spots as we go to bars restaurants coffee shops all closed all completely closed we went past one of our bars that we go to another favorite bars we've got a few friends who work there and they were just sat outside they said there's no customs they haven't been officially closed yet I'm guessing today they have been but they were just outside they were like no customers no work the coffee shop we go to is closing and we were speaking to some of the staff there and they were telling us that they're not gonna be paid so they're being asked to not come into work for maybe a month with no pay so we're thinking of all of those people who whose regular income is being taken away from other Virgin Atlantic they've asked I just saw an article online now they've asked their staff to go and take eight weeks unpaid leave so we are thinking of those people who are gonna be left without a regular income because a month that's that's a chunk that's a big chunk of the year to not be paid so business is closing small businesses self-employed people it's really take these lockdowns are taking a huge hit but is for the greater good of community health wise so it's this really really weird time at the moment the UK have a different idea later on the vlog I'll talk you through I need to read more about it myself I'll talk to you through the UK's plan because some of our friends here what asking us what they're doing at home we want to encourage you guys to stay healthy stay fit so we are gonna do a workup aren't your going to talk you through the workout today because well because we're indoors and we've got nothing else to vlog about so we're going to talk you through the workout we all need to stay positive we all need to stay optimistic that this will blow over very soon we need to make the most of our time at home because if you're anything like me I need to get out every single day within hours of waking up I'm the type person that needs to go out the house so these videos are going to document how we're coping with it we hope you guys all do them well hope you guys all okay eating healthily and working out is one of the ways gave our minds clear and keep our bodies in good shape because a month is a long time [Music] [Music] [Applause] just having an espresso this morning oh that looks good that looks good the cause about to work outside on like a big milk coffee now I'm gonna feel sick mmm oh yeah really good it's also important to taste the espresso just the espresso every now and then when you're using this machine because the taste really can vary on how you make a coffee I did I did yesterday going by two big bags of coffee from Toby's one thing we really didn't want to run out of and that was on our list to buy with all obviously with all the other essentials was coffee so two big bags two kilograms should last us so we're trying out a 20 minute we're trying out a 20 minute where's the title gone it's a home workout with no equipment no gym that's the next one next about because honestly full I'm following quite a few people in Instagram who are being super inspiring I'll friends say for example and some people who follow could explore asaurus on Instagram we met in shark our last year they're doing like loads of workouts loads of stuff and they're putting all of their Instagram so it's super motivational super inspiring so it's making me want to get up and actually move and do something cuz honestly like George said being indoors and not like we walk a lot we always walk everywhere so being indoors and nothing how to walk and like take long walks and like I don't know I feel like walking clears your head but also working out clears your head so I think to be productive as made videos in the same place for 30 days we need to be doing workouts to make sure we don't go insane really really also we're kind of hungry so after this little shower get some food enough that's right guys we're going to be vlogging off showers from now get the GoPro okay aircon on food off I want to start you ready yeah do it quick okay baby thank you we should be young the department yeah this is a lot everybody stretch guys dearly sit on with us at home yeah if you're watching this block the plank Jack oh my I've never done that before you got that [Music] now they'll get back eyes on the freeway [Music] I've never done this oh don't know don't let it autoplay the next one will do that one tomorrow all right guys that was intense that was difficult now any lunch no right if we're going to be making home blocks more home logs we're going to need some more regular features around here so welcome to dishes with George I need a little intro actually Luce can you write me a quick like seven or eight second song for dishes with George thank you so guys this feature every day I am going to this is going to be like a quote of the day because every day I'm gonna pick a quote one of my favorite quotes and I'm gonna talk about it for maybe unknown a minute I'm gonna do it every day whilst we were watching the dishes because washing dishes is boring something I don't particularly enjoy doing but something that's got to be done I also want you guys to choose the quotes so I've got today's your song ready well maybe tomorrow Michael we've got to do the dishes the dishes the dishes the dishes with George so today's quote is in the end you only regret the chances you didn't take now let me explain this one regrets a funny thing because regret is one of the things we don't want to live with you Donna gets a certain age where we look back and we regret not trying something if you're afraid to try stuff people say they can't do things people write things off before they've even tried now yes we have to be self-aware but we also have to try if we've got an idea if we've got something we want to do if we've got something in the back of our minds they were like yeah I want to give that a go for example in my life when we wanted to go and do YouTube full-time sounded unrealistic to a lot of people sounded like we got told that the platform was saturated already we got told that it's very unrealistic to make a living from YouTube we got told that we were dreaming but if we hadn't have taken that chance we wouldn't now have the life we have we wouldn't have the experiences we've had and our having we wouldn't have met a load of new friends so many things we wouldn't be truly doing the thing that we love if we hadn't first taken that chance but that chance for us did mean making sacrifices so we had to sell all our belongings we moved out of our apartment we had say goodbye to our family for a period of time and we had to go over to Asia a continent that we've never been to before and start it's crazy daily vlogging adventures it doesn't have to be big things like that either it can just be something big or small so guys if there is one thing that you've wanted to do and you haven't you haven't started or you haven't tried the most important things trying then I urge you to give it a go come below your favorite quotes because I'm going to be picking one from the comments for tomorrow's dishes with George all showered and freshened up it feels weird like getting ready for the day but then not going out I must say it was a bit strange but we're gonna cook so much now like Doris said before and we did a little bit of food shopping yesterday to get some bits because some like canned things normally all the food we buy is quite fresh we geminate you like fresh meat and vegetables but we did some shopping and always say feeldog covers we didn't go crazy but we got like a couple of big bags and oats we got meat goes bad rice just here and which should last quite a while some bread and things that we can freeze and then you've got some tins of soup some pineapple chunks and kidney beans some garden peas and cans that kind of thing so we can make meals out of things that wouldn't belong in the fridge if that made sense so like if it does get worse and then we can't go to the shops or we go to the shops and there's no food for whatever reason I don't think that will happen because there's so many people that live in Metro but we just wanted to have some stuff in just in case but honestly yesterday in the supermarket it was totally hectic there was the till we were out there was one lady and doing all the scanning and taking payment and in the god that was normally on the door was the one packing the bags and shut the store closed at 7:00 there was an announcement but there was still hundreds of people in this one store the the queue like George was saying went around the whole shop so there was still that many people after the store had closed so it was gone eight by the time we got to the front of the queue there's still people behind us they were working way over when the shop was meant to close and so if you're one of them people that working in stores or in the healthcare sector at the moment and you're providing this service to people still be able to buy them by food stuck in the shelves you're looking after patients you're doing the tests thank you so much we said it to the people yesterday they looked shafted like they look so tired they've been scanning all day and it was probably like one of the busiest days I've ever experienced in their work so thank you so much if you're one of them people so I'm just cooking up some Baguio green beans with some garlic and also be found in the shops because they were really really know a meet yesterday and so we were kind of looking in areas we don't normally look for me and we found in the like cold meats pocket pack cold packaged meat section like these sausages so don't you go out of date until July so we bought quite a few of them and so you can just keep them in the fridge and makes me then oh I forgot knowing that we let their Hungarian sausages and we will support some other ones and I mean ever eating them before so we're gonna have them with Sam we've got some nice Dijon confit Dijon mustard and over there and I'm also just cooking up some pasture as well if there's a bit of a random lunch a little bit of nutrition from the veggies and yeah [Music] run them lunch looks oh that sausage is huge Wow never seen anything so big amuse you and then well videos be filming date today guys filming day hey we just finished filming a very fun video and that you guys are gonna see tomorrow but we're gonna edit it later I think just to keep up to date with editing but it's very quickly wanted to talk with you guys through the news of what this enhancement II quarantine means and I don't know if any of you would have missed it but if any of you watching on to familiar with it I'm just going to read out like the points just to keep you guys completely up to date with what we know so there's now a lose on wide community quarantine it's not just Metro Manila it's across the whole island which is huge and there's a curfew from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. for non-essential person on the street so vatic it doesn't mean like health workers officers people on nightshift working yeah I hadn't thought of that there's so many there's so many things with something like this that you never expect to happen you take things for granted I think even things like having fully stack shelves and shops and being able to shake people's hands and hug them when you see them and stuff like that like it's very bizarre what's going on at the moment malls are now closed for the duration restaurants can only accept take out orders and you can't dine in we were in BTC yesterday getting some things sorted on the streets and we may I'll pop a picture in here of the malls completely closed and another one just here and to show you this was Starbucks but everyone was doing it they have their tables up against the door so no one can go in no one can spread in a thing by going inside the shops but the workers or some of the workers stand at this table with like a pen and paper they take orders there and you can pay there so they'll run to the till but you can't get into the shop and then when your food or drinks ready they give it to over this table so it says free it's a great idea and it means that people can still have like take away food and in a lift we are in I'll put a picture here again they were only allowing six people in the lift at times they'd put blue tape on the floor and you and in your little box just so that there's like more space for people there we went postman de couro and we were chatting to someone who works there that we know you know it's like a ramen bar so you normally sit really close to each other around this big table and kind of looking into the kitchen and they have now like a 1 meter between each chair again just so that there's more social distancing you don't have to sit really close to people but I don't know what the situation is today because at that point the enhanced quarantine hadn't come in and obviously now I don't know if you'd be able to go there to dine in because they're saying that you can't dine in anywhere so banks grocery supermarkets pharmacies foreign shops hardware's and wet markets will remain open but things like fiestas and public assemblies are all canceled select mass gatherings of people and this list this kind of goes on you can find it all online to be honest there's news reports from this speech that was given yesterday but I think the whole idea right now is that people just stay inside if you can and if you have to go out and you do it if you need to and when you are out just don't stand too close to people apparently six-feet as sneeze can get to you so if you can like keep yourself six feet away from anyone else that's a good distance if you have to be outside but obviously it's tricky like we said yesterday in the supermarket it was like you're squeezing past people like this close to them and it just seems to make no sense because we shouldn't be anywhere near anyone but yeah like we said plan is now to stay inside unless we have to go out for supplies but yeah we hope you're enjoying these little update vlogs it's a bit strange for us being in one place for so long like we said before but I look are we ready for another job that's tomorrow why are you over the day what was I guess I think good dishes with George just dishes of George okay it's hard to say actually dishes George okay guys we're gonna cook some dinner in a little while we filmed mash to film old least she already said from the fun video for the juicy vlog I'm about to film a more George video and also gonna film some reaction videos so we're gonna end this vlog off here because we actually need to edit this because we're uploading this on the same day as it was filmed so as you're watching this this is the same day so if you're watching it on the date was uploaded anyway anyway we will see you guys in tomorrow's video I just wanted to say a huge thank you if you are watching this video is blown our minds how many of you want to see war up to you during this time we know these vlogs are different they're not like we're not we're not travelling when on the road we're not seeing you things but the fact that we've got such an amazing community who wants to still be watching the vlogs we really really do not take that for granted and we really appreciate it so thank you so much if you're here if you're watching we'll see in tomorrow's video I'd love to tell you what we are up what we're up to tomorrow but I have no idea so come out tomorrow to find out I will see you soon you can thank your guests and you're probably gonna be right I think we'll be
