I started to watch this "Wear Masks 😷 And Don't Mind Us Allowing ILLEGALS & JIHADISTS Into Our Country While We Tell You To Stay Indoors To Avoid Getting Sick During The PLANdemic And Be Sure To Just Mail In Your 2020 Residential Selection Ballots In November For The Sake Of Your Health & Wellbeing" movie at predawn today, Friday, June 14th, 2024 in bed 🛏️ via my cellphone's 🤳 TUBI Streaming App.
Scene Commentaries:
A toothpaste for a birthday present?!?!?! Lady, you're about to auction off his house and you give him toothpaste? 🤦♂️ And It's Not Even Gift Wrapped! 😒
I'm surprised that That stray dog is still alive! In the Philippines, stray dogs are like traveling speed bumps---And are considered free food once ran over by a car! Hey, I'm just saying it the way it is. 😕
Anniversary is the same as his birthday but, somehow, he forgot about it! 🤷♂️
Manila International Airport sure sounds a heck of a lot better than ninoy aquino international airport. It's not the same airport that I was at in '82 & in '83. Back then, people would just gather around as bystanders--not necessarily there for anyone--but just there to gawk at white tourists!
There are a lot of Koreans in the Philippines. There are even Korean towns. Korean TV dramas are famous in the Philippines. So are K-Popstars. In Mindanao, I can't remember where ( Bukidnon, perhaps? ), the natives can even speak in Korean. Well, in the Philippine international airports, hosts and hostesses also have been trained to speak in Korean, Chinese and in Japanese to welcome people from those countries.
Some Koreans have made names for themselves in the Philippine entertainment industry. And some are even social media personalities. One of which is YouTube's Mr. Bulbul whose name is a double entendre. On the one hand, it means ...
I'm among the rare few who learned to become fluent in the English Language in the Philippines sans the Pinoy accent! 😂 😂 😂 Well, to be completely honest, I had to drop it once I came here to the USA because my classmates made fun of my thick accent! How did I get rid of it? I just pretended that I was a British singing American songs. Because if such songs could make the British lose their accent, it should work on my own accent, too! And It Did❗😆❗
Admittedly, I am still a bad singer. 😟 In the Philippines, you can be the best doctor, lawyer, engineer, architect, politician, whatever ... but if you can't sing, your own family won't be as proud of you--to the point of almost disowning you! 🥺
The Philippine Armed Forces are respected by South Koreans. It all goes back to the Pilipino soldiers who, badly outnumbered 40 to 1, successfully fought back against the Chinese red army at the Battle of Yultong during the Korean War 74 years ago.

There's a memorial dedicated to their bravery and sacrifice somewhere in South Korea.

"It's the Philippines. Just speak Korean, no one will know!" 😄 Not so fast there, mister. 🤨
There was a newspaper 📰 headline news in the early '70s about a Pinoy treasure hunter who found the Yamashita's Gold. This was during the time of The Philippine Martial Law. Marcos had the Golden Buddha "examined". The next thing I knew, the newspaper front page news declared that the Buddha Statue was made of brass! Yeah, right .... Brass, my Ass❗ 😒 My father and I called BULLSH!T on it AND SO DID EVERYONE ELSE ❗👎❗
Gang War. 😯
Lucky Gambler! 🎰
Michael ... Trump. 😃
Double betrayal❗😠❗
"Yeoboseo." It's a word used as a greeting when you call someone on the phone. There's a Korean Mart or two in the Philippines by that name, owned by Basel Manadil, a Syrian-Pilipino, i.e. The Hungry Syrian Wanderer. I'm not sure but I think that one of them either closed permanently or just relocated. 🤔
Such a spate of really Bad Luck! I feel so sorry for Byeong-Soo. 😟
I thought that Byeong-Soo didn't speak English! 🤨
There are a total of 7,641 islands in the Philippine Archipelago, according to the Pilipinos.
Okay, in a cockfight the winner gets the money AND the dead rooster! 🐓 Time, Money and Training are heavily invested in roosters that are bred and raised for fighting! Why are there 2 dead roosters in that fight ring? Is it supposed to be symbolic? 🤨
I saw a video of a really super-fast rooster that could deliver multiple blows against its opponent in 1 second! Once a strike connected, multiple strikes followed and killed the other rooster before it even knew what just happened to it! 😨
That Philippine-style hot tub is becoming quite vogue now, it seems. 😏
A set-up!
Tambay, i.e. someone just loitering around is actually English in origin! It's a combination of 2 words: Stand By or standby. And shortened to Stambay then to tambay. It was adopted from the US soldiers during World War 2.
"There are no witnesses to murder cases here!" Yes, but there are plenty of gossipmongers in the Philippines with nothing else better to do. Start with them, Sherlock. 🧐
The Tambay guys sure came in handy, after all! 👌
He could have gone to the airport to ask for some Laglag Bala, i.e. Bullet Drop. Corrupt airport security guards in the Philippines would drop a bullet or two in a vacationing Pinoy's luggage; and then accuse the hapless victim of smuggling contraband weapons into the country and extort him for money! If they're dropping them in luggages for free, I'm sure that he could buy them for cheap from them. Or run the risk of being exposed as the corrupt security guards that they are! 🤑
"I told you they're damn scary." Taekwondo, Hapkido & Tang Soo Do ain't got nothin' compared to what these guys got❗👌😆👍
Bulbul! 😃 😆 🤣
"You told them to go around that way." 🤣 🤣 🤣
There was a considerable amount of leaked fuel ⛽ that, I think, the explosion should not have been that huge. 😕
I like how this movie ended on a positive note❗This is a good and well-acted Korean movie! 🍿👌🙂👍🥤
Tidbit:
I'm about to have my late lunch.
Then, I need to go to the nearby Walgreens Drugstore for refills on my Heart Medications after I post this blog.
