00:00What is this gimmick?
00:03When the New Year comes,
00:05Ubas will eat under the table
00:10because it brings luck to love.
00:15The cravings of couples this year are
00:22Ubas!
00:24There's a famous saying that
00:26when the New Year comes,
00:28Ubas must wear under the table
00:31and eat a dozen Ubas
00:34at 12 p.m.
00:36to bring luck in 2025
00:39and have a love life.
00:41Let's go!
00:44But don't!
00:45There are a lot of couples.
00:48What are you going to do?
00:49Are you crazy?
00:50Even celebrities.
00:55The question is,
00:56so far,
00:57is it effective?
01:00It's already over.
01:01There's still no top or bottom.
01:03Perfect!
01:03My love!
01:04One of those who might be able to find her true love
01:08My love!
01:09is Miss Amis Oriental,
01:13Chusil.
01:17When she celebrated 2024,
01:20instead of celebrating outside,
01:22Chusil was under the table.
01:25Happy New Year!
01:26I told my parents and my brother,
01:29don't eat the grapes.
01:30I'll eat the grapes.
01:32Just don't.
01:33I'll do a ritual later.
01:34I'll make a video.
01:37At 12 p.m.,
01:39Chusil started eating Ubas.
01:45It's falling.
01:45And even if one fell on the table,
01:48it's dead to germs.
01:49One last.
01:51Because it should be 12.
01:52I really ate the one that fell.
01:55Happy New Year!
01:56Chusil admitted that she was desperate to have a boyfriend
02:00at that time.
02:01My friend and I were talking,
02:03we should have a boyfriend next year
02:05or before the year ends.
02:06We deserve to be loved.
02:09Sometimes, she fell in love.
02:11But she left a scar.
02:14So, to forget, she traveled.
02:26I traveled to the Philippines for 2 months.
02:29I was backpacking.
02:30Because my work is also online.
02:32In 2023, she went to Siargao.
02:35Hoping to meet,
02:37or get to know her The One.
02:40I was dating up.
02:41I attended gatherings,
02:43events.
02:44We met a lot.
02:45But we ended up the year still single.
02:49So, even if it's a long time,
02:51I'm still single.
02:54So, even if it's a long time,
02:56eating a dozen grapes every New Year,
02:59or what's called in Spanish,
03:01Las Doce Uvas de la Suerte,
03:04they already tossed it.
03:06It started in the 19th century from Spain.
03:09It spread to different parts of the world,
03:12like in the Philippines.
03:13There was prosperity and good luck.
03:16As time passed,
03:17it was assimilated into love life.
03:19Let's try this.
03:21Maybe this is it.
03:22One last.
03:23Happy New Year.
03:24And it seems effective.
03:26Chusil's friend ate grapes together.
03:30In January,
03:31they already got to know each other.
03:33When she met me at the party,
03:35they were already on the talking stage.
03:36She said,
03:37Bakla, the grapes are already running.
03:39Is it you?
03:40I said, Bakla, not yet.
03:41It's still early.
03:42It's still January.
03:43Don't rush.
03:44All the people I met,
03:45it's just situationships.
03:46No commitment.
03:47So, it's like,
03:48Lord, what is this?
03:50That's why Chusil
03:51focused on her work
03:53as a tourism and hospitality consultant.
03:56Someone messaged me.
03:57My American friend.
03:59Chusil, I have a German friend
04:01who's coming in Siargao.
04:03Maybe you can show them around.
04:04She said that.
04:05I said, yeah, sure.
04:06Just let them message me on Instagram.
04:09Until she received a message request.
04:12She said, hi,
04:13I wanted to know if you're free
04:16because I'm on the island right now.
04:18This is one of my favorite islands in the world.
04:20The one who messaged her
04:21was the content creator
04:23and backpacker from Germany,
04:25Alex.
04:26There's something.
04:27I have the mussel with me.
04:29That's Tagay.
04:30Tagay!
04:32But Alex
04:33invited Chusil
04:34not to party,
04:37but to watch
04:43a bomb.
04:45I thought you were going to tour,
04:46but it's a bomb.
04:48I said, okay.
04:49After the bomb,
04:50she asked me,
04:51what's your plan?
04:52I said, nothing.
04:53Then she invited me.
04:54Okay, let's go up north.
04:56And that's where their
04:57getting to know stage started.
05:00Chusil's a very smart,
05:02outgoing, bubbly,
05:04very kind at the same time.
05:06So you can have a lot of fun with her.
05:08We've been in Siargao for five days
05:10and we hang out every day.
05:12We have deep talks.
05:14We share a lot of common ground.
05:19Why am I getting excited again?
05:22But now it feels different.
05:25When I look into your eyes,
05:28the world calms down.
05:30Alex,
05:31born and raised in Germany,
05:33works as a social media manager
05:35of a soccer company.
05:37So that's how I spend a lot of time
05:39traveling in Asia
05:40and that's how I became interested
05:41also in creating videos,
05:43comprehensive videos,
05:44travel guides,
05:45and just informative videos
05:46about experience,
05:47a lot of culture,
05:48food,
05:49nature,
05:50meet great people.
05:51Meanwhile,
05:52after a few days on the island,
05:54Chusil has already felt
05:56a spark in her chest.
05:59I feel like this is it.
06:01Because it's different.
06:02I extended my stay in Siargao
06:04for another two days.
06:18But Chusil doesn't want to fall.
06:20She knows that in just a few days,
06:22she'll be away from her friends.
06:25She's going to Thailand
06:27and I'm going to Bali, Indonesia.
06:29It's part ways.
06:30I said, okay.
06:31I'm sad.
06:32Hi, guys.
06:33Our contract is only for five days.
06:36It's a beautiful connection.
06:38I feel like there's a spark.
06:40Lord, why do I always feel like I'm going to die?
06:42Despite being away from her friends,
06:45despite following in their footsteps,
06:47they still communicate with each other.
06:51We update each other.
06:52We take selfies.
06:53I always tell my friend,
06:54you're gay.
06:55You're like a grape.
06:59She's really effective.
07:00She's already in Thailand.
07:01I'm already in Bali.
07:02But she's still updating me.
07:03Why are you updating me?
07:05I'll never forget this.
07:06She said,
07:07my Thailand trip is so different without you.
07:09Like that.
07:11I told her,
07:12well, I'm so sorry to hear that.
07:14I wish you're here also with me in Bali.
07:17Until Chusil,
07:18the next scene was not prepared.
07:21She sent a screenshot.
07:23She checked the flight from Thailand to Bali.
07:26I said,
07:27Lord, here it is.
07:28Your hair is long.
07:30I was supposed to go to Vietnam for another solo trip.
07:33But I canceled that flight,
07:34went to Bali,
07:35even though I've been there three times already before.
07:37She told me,
07:38is it okay if I join you on your solo trip in Bali?
07:42I told her,
07:43okay,
07:44well, that's good.
07:46I'm gonna be happy.
07:47At least we get to spend more time together.
07:51At that point,
07:52I knew I have to see Chusil again.
07:53And I need to get to know her.
07:56Chusil experienced Filipino hospitality,
08:00even though she's in Bali, Indonesia.
08:03She even went to Alex's airport.
08:07Are you his girlfriend?
08:08She's a different pick-up girl.
08:09I told her,
08:10okay, I'm gonna pick you up in the airport.
08:12Port Recta.
08:20I said,
08:21yes, this is it.
08:22It's real.
08:23The grape is ripening.
08:24That was a good one.
08:25Yes, it's awesome.
08:26Yeah, it's awesome.
08:27But Chusil,
08:28her friend lied to her.
08:30She said,
08:31he's a traveler.
08:32He's been backpacking for three years.
08:34The ticket from Thailand to Bali is so cheap.
08:36Maybe he's done it several times.
08:38It's not a big deal for them.
08:40That's why she stopped
08:42asking Alex for a real talk.
08:47I said,
08:48I'm not getting any younger anymore.
08:50Like I want to know
08:51if we have the same vision
08:53with what we have right now.
08:56So is this something you're seeing
08:58that's just for fun or casual?
09:02Or is it something
09:03that there's a potential of us?
09:10Then he said,
09:11I think I like you.
09:14And then I said,
09:15oh, really?
09:16You like me?
09:17And then, yes.
09:18I guess it's not that I like you,
09:20but I think I love you already.
09:26My hair got shorter.
09:27So I said,
09:28yeah, I love you too.
09:30Of course, I love you.
09:31Let's reciprocate.
09:32So I didn't want to fly to Bali
09:34just to have another 10 days
09:35of like a short relationship
09:37and then leave again.
09:38So at that point,
09:39when I flew to Bali,
09:40I already knew,
09:41okay, I want to talk with her.
09:42I want to be serious about it.
09:43We made it official.
09:44We're girlfriends and boyfriends.
09:59But since they already have
10:01their own itinerary,
10:03after their Bali trip,
10:06Chusil and Alex
10:07temporarily had an LDR
10:10or Long Distance Relationship.
10:12She already has a plan to go to Borneo,
10:15Malaysia,
10:16to the mainland of Southeast Asia.
10:18As for me,
10:19I already have a plan
10:20to go to Singapore,
10:21to go to Hong Kong for a month,
10:23Macau.
10:25But even though their destinations are different,
10:28in the Philippines,
10:29they still go home.
10:30Alex visited his girlfriend's hometown
10:33in Balingasag,
10:34in Misamis Oriental.
10:36To meet my parents.
10:37It's like a road to serious,
10:39this is really like a different level, Lord.
10:42He already met my parents.
10:43He already got the trust of my parents.
10:45We already planned that
10:46you will be the one to visit us in Europe.
10:50Just this September,
10:51Berlin,
10:52Chusil traveled to Germany
10:55to meet Alex's family
10:57and they also toured around Europe.
11:00It was amazing.
11:01His mom is so kind
11:03and then his sister,
11:05she's so kind.
11:07And for them to deserve
11:09the holiday break they deserve,
11:11this Friday,
11:12Alex brought Chusil
11:14to his favorite island in the Philippines,
11:18Palawan.
11:28Chusil plans to set up a travel agency.
11:32Alex says
11:33he will continue his plan to travel around Asia.
11:36It's not really about the grapes
11:38because I might be blamed
11:40by my 27 million viewers
11:43that,
11:44why didn't the grapes work?
11:46So maybe this is per batch.
11:48For the 2025 batch,
11:50we will limit it to only a few hundred thousand.
11:53For the next batch,
11:54but maybe it's also up to the person,
11:56the luck.
11:58Who knows,
11:59maybe it was destiny,
12:00maybe it was on the grapes,
12:01but unintentionally,
12:02I found her.
12:03So I'm very happy about it.
12:04Thank you so much for sticking around.
12:07Cheers to more adventures
12:09in the next coming of years.
12:10And I love you so much.
12:12I love you too.
