00:00Let's get started with this vlog with the Pinoy vlogger from Chicago, Vincent Leonardo here at PARS of the World!
00:09Hey PARS Vincent!
00:12Hi Vincent!
00:13Hi!
00:14Hey Mga Mars! Hello!
00:16How are you?
00:17Hello, hello, hello!
00:18All right!
00:19Gwapo naman!
00:20Hey!
00:21Hi Mga Mars at PARS!
00:22Si Vincent ay 2 years pa lang sa USA, pero marami na siyang ginawang mga vlogs about the life of the Filipinos abroad and he's also a banker and financial analyst!
00:32Kilalanin muna natin ng maigi itong si PARS Vincent!
00:35Yes!
00:36Kilatisi natin siya ng maayos!
00:37PARS!
00:38Ito na!
00:39Pasyal mo na kami!
00:40Saan mo ba kami dadalhin dyan sa Chicago?
00:42Ah, yan yung video nyo.
00:44Ayyan!
00:45Yung nakikita nyo sa background.
00:46Okay!
00:47Yung dabing.
00:48So sinasabi nila, kailangan makapagpapicture ka dyan.
00:52Kasi kapag hindi ka nakapagpicture, it means hindi ka nakapag-visit ng Chicago.
00:56Ah, oo!
00:57Fake news yung sinabi mong nasa Chicago ka kung wala kang picture dyan.
01:01Correct!
01:02Then that's the Chicago River.
01:05Yan nakikita nyo ngayon.
01:07And then yan, view from the sky deck.
01:10If I'm not mistaken, talagang mataas talaga siya.
01:12So kita nyo naman dun sa video.
01:15Okay, so ano yung Vincent, ano yung pinaka naging challenging for you nung lumipat ka dyan sa Chicago?
01:21Of course, when I moved here in 2019, it was very hard because all of my relatives,
01:27well at least yung immediate relatives ko na sa Pilipinas.
01:30Then I moved here, kasi I was born and raised sa Pilipinas eh.
01:34So mahirap talaga siya.
01:36And then yan nga yung culture shop.
01:38May kilala ka ba sa Chicago bago ka pumunta doon?
01:41Um, sa Chicago wala because some of my relatives are in the Bay Area nasa Cali and
01:47siguro all across states.
01:48Pero dito sa Chicago wala.
01:50I'm only with my wife.
01:52So this yung reason kung bakit ako nakarating dito.
01:56Ayaw!
01:57Kaya nakarating dyan!
01:59Ito na nga, Marv!
02:00Pinapasad na tayo sa mayelong lugar!
02:03Ah, yan!
02:04Sobrang recent lang yan.
02:06As in yung lake, Michigan Lake, pero sa Chicago siya sa city.
02:09Um, maski yung lake, hindi na gumagalang yung tubig kasi sobrang ice talaga siya.
02:13OFW feels!
02:14Oh, diba?
02:15Yes!
02:16At siya pa nakasnow mo!
02:17I love it!
02:18Oh!
02:19And I was waiting for a bus kasi hindi ako makapag-drive that time.
02:23So, ayun.
02:24Grabe yung snow.
02:25So yung wife mo, gaano katagal na siya dyan sa Chicago?
02:29Same!
02:30Um, nauna lang siya dito for a month.
02:32Siya dumating January 2019.
02:34And then I arrived here February.
02:36So parehas kami, born and raised sa Pilipinas.
02:39Sa ba't niya naisip na pumunta dyan at mapalayo pa sa pamilya niyo?
02:44Eh, I know it's hard, pero siyempre gaya nga na sinasabi ng iba yung American dream.
02:49Yun, yun talaga yun.
02:50And then si wifey kasi, she's a nurse.
02:53And alam naman natin na karamihan talaga ng Filipino nurses nagmamigrate karamihan sa kanila.
02:58Karamihan.
02:59We're one of them.
03:00Si Vincenta and his wife are really fulfilling that.
03:04The American dream.
03:05Correct.
03:06In all fairness Mars, parang ang dami nating narating siya Chicago.
03:10I've never been.
03:11Kaya, first time ko din makita lahat nung pinasyal niya sa atin.
03:13Yeah, ako din.
03:14I've been to Chicago.
03:15Ikaw, Pars?
03:16Yeah, I've been to Chicago.
03:17Really?
03:18Chicago Street, Illinois, sa Cobao.
03:20Oh, yeah.
03:21I've been there too.
03:23Illinois, sa Cobao.
03:25Kapitbahe ka ni Pars kung banda ka dun, di ba Pars?
03:29Nagpicture na rin ako dun yung sabi niyong kilala, dapat nando ka sa ano.
03:32Meron ganun.
03:33May ganun ba dun?
03:34Meron.
03:35Ano?
03:36Sa likod nung swelahan.
03:37Meron.
03:38Meron.
03:39Meron.
03:40Pero ganun kalate lang siya.
03:41Tapos nakain mo din siya after.
03:43Correct.
03:44Ano ba?
03:45Vincent, para sa mga ibang Mars at Pars natin na gusto rin sana eh, ma-fulfill din nila ang kanilang American dream.
03:52Ano ba nga pwede mong ibigay sa kanila na advice para sa kanila?
03:57Siyempre, di ba may proseso naman yun.
03:59Ang biggest, ay biggest, ang pinaka-tip talaga na mabibigay ko is be patient kasi it doesn't happen overnight.
04:06Like yung sa amin, just wanna share, we waited for four years before we arrived here.
04:11Wow.
04:12Kala namin wala na.
04:13Yeah.
04:14Tapos yun, nung bata ko gusto ko talaga dito kasi yung mga relatives ko nandito.
04:18And then, nung parang for a while nawala siya kasi I thought nung nasa Pilipinas ako okay na yung career ko ganyan.
04:25Tapos yung sabi ko, hindi ayoko na pumunta ng States until nag vacation kami ng 2017 sabi ko, oops, ayoko na umuwi ng Pilipinas.
04:34Wow.
04:36Mars eh.
04:37Naalala, maputol ka kasi talaga nung ganda nung lugar, yung weather din Mars, yung sistema.
04:42Yes.
04:43Yeah.
04:44Okay, so yun yung tip mo Pars, to be patient.
04:46Narin pa ba?
04:47Dream big.
04:48Ako kasi talaga yung nasa Pilipinas ako.
04:50Meron mga bagay na gusto gusto ko before sa Pilipinas bilhin, but I couldn't afford it.
04:54Because until dito, kapag if you work hard or if you work smart, sabi nga nila, mabibili mo lahat ng gusto mo.
05:01And then, may patutunguhan talaga if you dream big.
05:04And if you do something, you know, if you work hard for it.
05:07Ang ganda kasi kumaga para nagiging inspiration din siya eh.
05:10Sa lahat ng mga gusto makasampa sa Amerika, hindi siya, hindi siya overnight success.
05:17So yung patience, kailangan mo, tapos pinaghirapan niya yan eh.
05:21Yes.
05:22At patuloy pa rin niyang pinaghihirapan.
05:24Yes.
05:25Diba?
05:26Through his vlogs, pinapakita niya eh.
05:27So magandang, magandang journey pinapakita niya kasi it serves as an inspiration.
05:32Actually, even the challenges.
05:34Kasi I know that a lot of his followers are asking him about the challenges, kung what they need to prepare.
05:41At nakakatulong din siya kasi pinapakita niya yung mga pinagdaanan din niya.
05:46Yes.
05:47Yeah, kudos to you.
05:48Thank you, Fars!
