Since you were updating Facebook every twelve minutes with pics and videos it didn't really feel like you went anywhere ;)

 

Looks like you had a great time.

 

Not jealous or nuffin.

I'm likley gonna use this thread I think to fish for views when I upload a new vid related to my holiday.

 

Just uploaded my 2nd holiday vid, not really showing anything from teh holiday, just a little vid I made with my friend Jason and his brother after I got to his house after he picked me up from the airport. I brought over a couple of packs of Irish Tayto crisps for them to try and thought why not make a vid of it :D

 

FYI: Down the line there will be a vid of me later trying a filipino snack that does not go as well as Jason and Jonas' first experience with Tayto crisps :heh:

Spread the love, dude : peace: I prefer the Spring Onion, myself, but whatever the case.. your bags are weird! Our Cheese & Onion comes in yellow..

Also.. you're such a nerd! In a good way, though :heh:

Actually may surprise you to learn that the Tayto you have in the North is not the same Tayto we have here, both are different companies that for some reason have the same name...but our Tayto is the original (I beleive Tayto NI was founded in 1956, 2 years after Joe "Spud" Murphy founded Tayto in Dublin) so you have been living a lie your whole life and not really eating real Tayto :heh:

 

Though according to Wiki Tayto NI licensed the receipes from Tayto RoI in the 50's so assuming the same is used today maybe they do taste the same....we'll have to organise some sort of meet up sometime, I'll bring my Tayto, you bring yours and we'll see if they're the same haha

You only realise this now?:awesome:

That sounds like the worst reason to meet up with anyone ever.. and yet it absolutely MUST HAPPEN :bouncy:

Managing to get these vids edited a little faster than I expected, here's number 3, my video of the Gathering day I had with my Youtube friends in Manila

 

Posted

Now it's taking me a bit longer to edit vids that I thought, sorry for keeping bumping this thread but ye know I like to share my holiday adventures with N-E :)

 

This video, still in Manila and recorded same day as previous video, I teach my friends some Irish Slang words....bit long I know yeah but hopefully the vid is fun/interesting enough to keep you watching to the end :D

Bumpy bump

 

Here's the video of when I found those Superhero statues of which 3 are pictured in the first post... play the vid if you wanna see all 15 :D

 

Posted

Cheers @Jimbob

 

Well here's another video for ya...getting more into the touristy things now, day out as a place called Garin Farm...best way I can think of describe this is a Farm-Zoo combination with a few adventure activities (though I didn't get vid of all activities, sorry....mainly cuz I didn't have the money to do them all haha..... yeah despite the place having an entrance fee you still had to pay to do things....Philippine logic :heh:)

 

 

 

I'll have 2 more vids from this day coming soon...one the full Zipline vid and another a bit of a Blasphamey video in that "Pilgrimage" area I breifly showed in the above vid... rather than bumping this thread twice more with vids form the same place I'll prolly put the zipline vid in the awesome stuff thread and might find the religion thread to bump with the other video so that the next time this thread gets bumped should be with a video from the beach resort and island hopping trip from the photos (though note my GoPro decided on that day and for rest of holiday after that to no longer work so had to revert to my old cam... thankfully brought as a back up in case of running out of battery or memory space on the GoPro :heh:... since I got home I've been in touch with GoPro and they are in the process of sending me a replacement so alls good :D)
