00:00Troll said that I can't please my woman.
00:02Some of the comments, The Incredible Hope, Top Booner of 2026.
00:08I'm just with him because of his money.
00:11When I told my friends about him, yeah, they were very hesitant.
00:16Mark is very different.
00:17I was like so shocked and I'm not expecting for you to fall in love with him.
00:23We first met online.
00:26She added me on my Facebook.
00:30At first I was surprised because she's gorgeous.
00:34We started to chat.
00:36At first I didn't think that his photos are real.
00:43If it was edited or not.
00:47But I found him attractive.
00:50We're reading some of the comments that I get on my content.
00:56I bet he don't have a girl.
00:58Obviously, I have a girl.
01:01Very beautiful girl.
01:03Hey.
01:05Some of the comments were referring me as Hope.
01:10Like The Incredible Hope.
01:11Top Booner of 2026.
01:14Most of the judgment was like that I'm just with him because of his money.
01:23In reality, I don't really have that much.
01:26They think that I wouldn't be a great father.
01:29I'm just someone that would make life harder for J.L.A.
01:33Because J.L.A. would have to focus on taking care of me.
01:36When in reality, I'm the one taking care of her all the time.
01:42I think they were thinking that, you know, I have like a caregiver.
01:48Someone always helps me put on my clothes.
01:52Even eating.
01:53I mean, going to the restroom.
01:55They think I'm rich or they think I have a lot of money.
02:00Because I, you know, there's always someone there to help me out.
02:03I've always been judged about my hands.
02:06But for some reason, I always have like a positive mindset.
02:11I can't do anything about my hands.
02:13It is what it is.
02:14I get a lot of judgment growing up.
02:18They feel pity as if I can't, you know, do anything better in my life.
02:23Because of, you know, my condition.
02:25Yeah, I just proved them wrong.
02:27Living my life to the fullest.
02:29We're four years now, going five years.
02:31I'm really here with him because, you know, I love him.
02:35She didn't really ask about my condition or what happened to my hands.
02:42I think that's what I like about her.
02:45I have a condition called macrodactyly.
02:48It's a rare condition.
02:51I was told by a doctor that it's one in 10 million case.
02:57Having these hands, as big as it is, being able to use it as part of my brand or part
03:06of me being able to inspire others as well.
03:09I think it's a blessing for me.
03:11I was born with this condition.
03:14When I was a child, it wasn't this big.
03:16But it's the same as how it looks.
03:19And, yeah, it can be really hard.
03:21Because, I mean, right now it weighs almost 7 kilos on my left hand.
03:26On my right hand, almost 2 kilos.
03:29I've had heartbreaks where I, you know, I like someone and they wouldn't like me back because of my hands.
03:38And, but yeah, I didn't give up and not focusing on what I cannot change.
03:44And, yeah, that's when, you know, I met Jalai.
03:48When I told my friends about him, they were kind of shocked.
03:56They were very hesitant.
03:58Jalai and I are besties since high school.
04:02We've been to a lot.
04:03At first, when I saw Mark, I'm very shocked.
04:09How did you feel when I first introduced Mark?
04:11I'll be honest, it's kind of nerve-wracking.
04:16Like, especially the condition that Mark has.
04:19Like, Mark is very different.
04:22And I'm not expecting for you to fall in love with him.
04:25Like, that's an honest, you know.
04:28I don't feel surprised.
04:32I'm one of one.
04:34I mean, not everyone can see hands like this, like, in a normal day.
04:38People are, like, intimidated.
04:42Yeah, intimidated.
04:43It was really difficult for me growing up.
04:48Especially that all you want to do is to fit in with other children.
04:53You know, I think when I was second grade, third grade,
04:55I see other children tying their own shoes.
04:59I wasn't able to do it.
05:01The night before the school, I always practiced on tying my shoelaces
05:06just so I could fit in.
05:08It may look hard for me to wear clothes,
05:11but as much as possible, I don't ask Jelai to help me.
05:15The only thing that she really helps me out
05:17is just to wear the earrings.
05:20You know, my fingers can't handle.
05:22But other than that, I mean, just wearing a watch,
05:25putting up my shirt, wearing my pants.
05:28I mostly do it alone.
05:32How do you handle, like, all of the bashers?
05:36Like, especially when you're going outside in social media?
05:41At first, I was, like, very shy
05:45because I'm a person who's not used on people get stared at.
05:50I mean, bashers would always be there.
05:52But for those people who really, you know, got inspired by us,
05:58I think that's what we're really focused.
06:01Finally, Jelai found the right one.
06:03That's what I can tell.
06:05Because even though Mark has this situation,
06:09but his heart is so big.
06:12Growing up, I've always wondered
06:15whether I can have a family of my own.
06:17I just had a checkup and having that assurance
06:22that having this condition can't be passed on to my child.
06:27When I chop, it's hard.
06:29But at the same time, I was able to adapt to it.
06:31I can do it, but it's slower compared to normal.
06:35It's very important to me
06:37because I don't want to make my family feel
06:42that they have to take care of me all the time.
06:46You know, even though I have this condition,
06:49I'm always to be there, you know, present
06:52to do, you know, what most dads do.
06:55I want my daughter to feel that
06:57despite having this, I'm still there for her.
07:01He is a very amazing dad
07:03and also a very amazing partner.
07:06He always takes care of us
07:07even though he has a condition.
07:10I love his uniqueness.
07:12I love how he handles himself as a person
07:15knowing even though he has that type of condition.
07:18He still manages to take care and always look for us.
07:22I love how strong she is
07:26and, you know, I just love being with her every day.
07:30He's always there beside me
07:34when I needed her the most.
07:36The message I have for the people who, you know, judge us
07:41is for them to be happy with their life as well.
07:44The easiest thing we can do is just be kind to each other.
07:48You may see my condition as a problem
07:52but, you know, for me it wasn't really.
07:54It's actually a blessing.
08:13It's amazing.
