Reunion with MANILA FRIENDS after 2 Years, We Couldn't Believe This!

How's it going? Look at that. And she just climbs up on this little fence. Good morning and welcome back to a brand new video, brand new day on the channel. Welcome back to another juicy vlog from BGC Manila. We are currently on the 39th floor of this building. I think it's a top floor. There's looks like some kind of balcony situation up there, but I couldn't get there in the lift. So I think we're on the top floor. You can be on super high up. Today's weather is looking perfect. Blue skies all around. Oh my goodness. This just says it all. Like this morning's been a funny morning. I'm not going to lie. The kids didn't sleep that well again last night and there's just croissant all over the condo. So we have got a bit of sweeping to do before we get on with our plans today, but we've ordered some smoothies this morning for breakfast. And so we're going to get them open in a second. I'm trying to put you somewhere, but there we go. Does that work? Great angle. These shorts are getting a bit too big. I think I need a belt. Look, if anyone has had a baby, you'll understand that like there's different levels of clothes where you kind of start to fit into old clothes. These are like shorts I bought because I didn't fit into my old shorts still. But then now I'm like starting to lose weight again. These just are like way too baggy, but it's fine. We'll go with it. We'll go with it. We hope you have all been enjoying the, oh my goodness, where am I? Come back, come back to me. We hope you've been enjoying the travel vlogs up to now. We have been loving filming them. It's been so fun to be back daily vlogging. You're probably thinking daily, what are you talking about? You're not uploading daily. We're not uploading daily. We are filming daily and uploading twice a week because that's kind of, it's working well for us as a family. George and Lucy back in the day, yes, we did daily vlog for like three years, but I can vlog every day. I can't edit and upload every day. So that's for now. We're good. This is working well. So, oh goodness me. There we go. Very nice. It's like a kale smoothie, but it's got like banana and mango in. So it just tastes like fruit basically. Super nice. Today's plans are very exciting. We are about to be picked up by some friends and we haven't seen these friends in like two years. And I'd say they are one of our closest friends we have. And it's just like quite a big deal that we're seeing them today after so long. And we're very, very excited. So you will probably know who they are. Yes. Daddy's one. Oh, does daddy, what is that? Did daddy ask you to come and tell me that? Is daddy hinting that I've not given him his smoothie and I've served myself first? Sorry, daddy. Let me get daddy's one. It's another fantastic angle. You're welcome. We have got tripods with us, but this will do for now. Put it in the squeezer. In the squeezer. Well, if you squeeze it, mate, I think it's going to go everywhere. I'll squeeze it. I will do it. Oh, you're like a holder. Yeah. Okay. Are we keeping it on our phones? They're just going to come up, turn up in a second. Yeah. Probably about 20 minutes. 20 minutes? Oh, fine. I thought they were coming at 10 past. No, no, no. I'm really fast. I'm really fast. Uh-oh. The squeezer. The squeezer. Don't squeeze too hard. The squeezer. Try daddy's. See which one you like the most. And then if you like daddy's more, don't tell him because he doesn't even know what color his is. So if you actually want to have daddy's instead, you can probably get away with it. Coffee, smoothie. I'm turning into liquid. Lovely. And we can get the day started. Oh, right. We also, once we send our friends later, we've got some more. Am I going to show you this? Our pile of dirty clothes. Yeah, I'm going to do it. Real life. This is our dirty laundry. And in not tomorrow, the next day, we are heading to an island destination. Get your guesses in the comments where it might be. So we wanted to do a final little rush laundry service today just because it's the next day we can pick it up and then we'll have no laundry to do on the islands because we're not going to be doing laundry there. And we've got, I think, three or four different destinations we're going to for the next few weeks. What else are we doing? We need to buy some water. We need to do a nappy wipe and baby food restock. You want to try? You don't like both? Which one do you like the most? Why are you pulling that face? I like this one more. You like that the most? Really? Yeah, yours and mine. Really? What would you think of yours? I don't like it. Do you like that one? No. So you only like that one? Great. I think I'll have to give up my smoothie then, aren't I? You have to swap with mine. It's not mine, you have to swap. Shot myself in the foot there. I gave him the idea to swap and then he's ended up swapping with mine. How's it going? Good to see you. You look taller. Do I? It's quite you actually. Are you okay? Good to see you. You look tall. That's a tall one. You're so big. Good job. Hello. You're a new one. You're definitely a new one. I love you. Oh wow, so we've just had about an hour catching up, seeing their new beautiful home. It's absolutely stunning, this place. Just so, so happy for them. It's amazing. It's incredible. So, so nice. They've made us some brunch. I'm going to call it brunch. And Remy has found a Lamborghini. You guys have gone up in the world. Yeah, we've got Lambos around here these days. Remy. Look at that. Koda is off somewhere playing. It's raiding the playrooms. Hello. Hello. Yeah. I'm excited to see you as well. It's been so nice just to catch up and see their home here. I cannot believe it's been two years. We've said, no, it's crazy. We've just been off camera chatting just for ages, had some food together and the kids just got back from school. So it was so sweet. Koda, and so Onyx is six and Koda's been so excited to see him. As soon as they got together, they just went into a tent together and just started playing instantly. They probably don't even remember each other, but what's this hair doing? But it's just amazing. Kids just are like, you're a kid, let's play together. And they're just like fighting with these little toys. So sweet. And Araya and Orion are just massive compared to when we last saw them as well, because obviously we met Orion as a baby and now there's too many kids to keep track of ages. Two. He's two, I think. Or is he nearly three? No, he's two. Yeah, he's two. So nice. So nice. Guys, how's there nine of us? When did that happen? Koda's totally comfortable here. I remember when we were in Manchester, in the Manchester house and we said, next time we see each other, there'll be like, maybe it was five or six of us. Was I pregnant? So it would have been four. It would have been six from five to six. Now it's nine. Next time, ten. Who's going? You or me? Yeah. George, you're up. And this is their new dog, Aura, who actually looks like a puppet or a teddy bear, like the size of her. She's absolutely tiny. She's hilarious. And she just climbs up on this little fence. Oh, bless her. Hi. This little section is a thank you. It's a message from me to you watching, supporting the channel, clicking on the video today. We appreciate you taking your time to watch us. And because we respect that so much, we put a lot of time and effort into making these videos. And as a little behind the scenes, this is where the magic currently happens. This is one of the most minimal, clean desk setups I've ever had. This desk and the chair just arrived recently from Desktronic. Just adjusting my chair. I can recline. The chair obviously goes up and down, but more impressive is that the desk goes up and down. So when I'm getting stuck into these longer editing sessions, I can raise the desk right up to my height and then stand with good posture and finish off the edit. The model is the Home 1 Desk. There's a link in the description. If you're in need of a standing desk, highly recommend going to check it out. You can choose different colors for the legs and tabletop. And the quality of these products is just fantastic. The chair is the SitPro Office Chair, an ergonomically designed chair, multiple adjustment points, and it aligns with your body's natural posture, which reduces strain towards the best possible seating experience. So now you know, when you're watching us travel the world, behind all of that is me sat here editing the vlog and working hard to get these videos out for you guys. So thanks again for watching the channel and enjoy the rest of today's upload. So it's that time of day again where I sneak off for coffee. There's now a yard just come to the mall. Yeah, do some YouTube. I like travel vlog, family vlog, YouTube. Yeah. You want to be in it? Okay. Do you want to say what you've got? Ice cream. Our favorite. So we are now at SM Aura. We are now at SM Aura. You're not copying me, are you? You need to copy me for the vlog. Okay, fine. I smell like toilets. Oh, thanks. You meant to copy me. I smell like toilets. Roses. Roses. Okay. I smell like roses. I smell roses. What does daddy smell like? Because this is what you always say, isn't it? Dog bin. You're so funny, mate. Yeah. We have come for some food. Daddy has a dog bin. Yeah. Everyone got a bit hot and bothered, I think, and I'll grab. So because the McKinley road, the traffic, I've never seen anything like it. We were sat still for like 30 minutes. It took us so long to get here from Kim and Tom's house. And yeah, we're currently looking for some food. It was quite long. You were playing a game on my phone, so it probably went quicker for you, but I had a Wrigley Remy, so it went quite slow. Remy's just getting off the sleeve. Koda's got a We're going to get something to eat. This is the menu for bored and hungry. More burgers. We've eaten burgers like every five minutes since we've been here. So funny. I think I'm going to get something different. It's a food court, so you can get that and I can get something else. I find something a bit more fresh. Go and have a look around. Yeah, I will. It's okay. So we'll use that. We'll just do this. We don't need to eat that, but you've got so much more here, darling. Yeah, we've not been to Esamore yet, and I love it in here. It brings back lots of good memories. We actually furnished our condo in this mall. Our first, uh, no, we didn't. That's a complete lie. We got bits for it. We actually went, where did we go to furnish our condo? Mandelbaum. Classic. Good times. Um, we came here loads and I got our Christmas decorations here, our first Christmas tree here. It just brings back memories. I don't know. I can't think what else. Yeah. I love it so much. I know, me too. But I'm really, really tired. It's one of those malls that you come into and if you've been really hot all day and you've been sat in the on the McKinley road, which is crazy. It's nuts. It's kind of more, you just come in and you kind of feel refreshed and nice again. Well, I'm waiting for that. I still feel knackered. I feel a bit better because of that coffee. Yardstick. How cool is that? Completely forgot to vlog, but I've gone for a Bored and Hungry burger. Really, really good burgers in Manila. We had these last time. Good to see they're still around. Do you remember that one? Yeah. That's from somewhere. Is it? What is it? It's from the Skeleton one on the TV. Oh yeah. On YouTube. All right. Quick outro to the vlog today, because we've got two boys to get to bed. 7pm. Very sleepy boys, including myself. Thanks so much for watching today. Hope you enjoyed the vlog. We had a great day. I'm not sure that we actually filmed that much because Kim and Tom are such good friends. We were just catching up so much off camera and just, we haven't seen each other for two years. So we're just filling each other in. So much has changed in all of our lives. All the kids are older and grown up and it's just crazy to see. But such a good day. Nice going to Esamora. Really, really liked that mall. The food was good. Coffee was great. But we're here once again, guys. We're at the end of the vlog. If you're here with me, you know what club you're in. You're in the end of vlog club automatically. Automatic free entry. I'm going to be posting out membership cards or membership certificates later this year sometime. Don't hold me to that. All you need to do if you want to be in the club, even though I've just said you're already in it automatically, to solidify and cement your membership. See, what am I talking about? It's just delirious hour, but we do this at the end of the vlog. Anyway, comment end of vlog club. I still should have come up with a better name for the club. End of vlog. It's very, does what it says on the tin. However, if you're in the end of vlog club, I want to personally thank you for watching all of our vlogs to the very end. We do appreciate that. We know some are long, some are shorter, but we know we have some really long vlogs. So the fact that you're choosing to spend your time with us means the world, honestly. So thank you. Because we just had that burger and Lucy had that, what did she have? Katsu or something. We've ordered some fresh fruit. Philippines fruit is unbeatable. It's delicious. It's amazing. We can't get fruit like this in the shop. And it's not expensive at all. And she's ordered a ton of bananas, a ton of watermelon, a ton of, what the orange is called? No, pomelo. That's it. Pomelo. We've just ordered a load of fresh fruit for dinner, basically. So we're looking forward to that arriving. Going to get a little bit done on the laptop this evening, then get some sleep ourselves. In a couple of days, we are off to island life. We're back on Philippine beaches, best in the world, pinching ourselves that we are going to be walking on that white sand as a family of four. We're also posting on Facebook. So if you want even more updates from us, go and follow our Facebook page. Just search the Juicy Vlog. We'll pop up. We're closing in on a million followers on Facebook, which is wild. So if you can help us get there with a follow, we'd be so grateful as well. But that's enough of me asking you to do things. Watching these vlogs is enough. Leave a comment as well, because I love reading comments. It's my favorite thing to do. Even if you look through and we're not replying to comments, please know we're reading comments. We are 100% reading more or less, I would say, every comment on the channel, even if you don't see us reply. Thanks again, and we'll see you in the next vlog very soon. Bye-bye.
