My New Home in the Philippines! | Living Alone in Manila as a Korean

[@Migzzzzz]

Love the whole layout of your room, how neutral the color of your room is, and how the light reflects from it, it's so calming to the eyes!! 🏻 Plus, 5:08 yeeees, you should!! I love food as you do and cooking too! medyo time-consuming nga lang but we make time for things we love, right? HAHA! so, If you have time, I happily recommend that spend most of your time there instead of just using an air fryer, kettle, and microwave only. Even though Good restaurants and deliveries are everywhere and more convenient. Try to learn how to cook your own favorite food, and learn to prepare some foods that you enjoy and that, ideally, are somewhat nutritious. You can also try learning new cuisines, and there's no fear or embarrassment even if you mess up.😆love your Kitchen too, btw! it's easy to move around while cooking haha 🫶 Wishing you all the Best always and Congratulations, Jessicaaa!! :)

The stove doesn't look like an induction stove. It looks like just a normal electric stove. And if it's an induction stove, then it should heat up pretty quickly. A normal electric stove that is not induction would really take a while to heat up, and it uses more electricity. I remember the first time I switched from a normal gas stove to an induction stove, I was surprised on how fast it heats up. Boiling water was much faster.

[@aejoymamotosfermin2497]

I love how details, design and well built the house is. Ang cozy... Thank you for touring us Jessica. Ganda ng condo mo.. #Roadto1Msubs. Letzzgo Jessica lee!!!

hi jes, i just wanted you to know that you are doing good and we are so proud of you. thank you for making your fans happy including me from the very first start of your youtube career. you inspired many people like me. hwaiting! 💗

[@tearteendo6298]

Finally! The room tour we've been waiting. ✨ So proud of you Jess! Subscriber since less than 20k community. We are on our way to 1M 💗 So kilig.

[@HawkKing2000]

Great tour. Thank you... I was just thinking, if you could find the right size board (wood, formica, plexiglass, or even foam workout pad), you could install it over the bottom part of that dining room mirror so there won't be a problem with people leaning against it. Just a thought :)

[@aejoymamotosfermin2497]

Your Room is such a vibe and aesthetic. I love it💙

[@jasmin8370]

I love and am grateful for witnessing ate Jessica's growth throughout the years. She gives me so much inspiration and motivation in life, especially in the topic of being independent. In fact, she helped me get back on track when i was lost in 2020. I came across to one of her videos before and it changed the way how I approach things now. So, thank you ate Jessica ✨

[@jessicaleeseul]

It is truly my honor that I’m your source of inspiration! When in fact my inspirations are you guys. Thank you for the heartfelt message. 💖

[@GuardianTiger]

Right!?, I realised that when she was talking in the kitchen area. She grew up a lot from just a few years ago

[@alfoeballar-gw2iw]

​@@jessicaleeseul so nice condo Ma'am Jessica at chaka solid fans mo aq idol na idol kita lage aq nanood sa vlog mo😊😊😊

[@i-am-your-conscience]

This is no induction, otherwise it would not take so long to heat up.. This is a very very oldschool one. What people used before Ceran and Induction

[@peripringles]

Don’t rush jesica! We’ll enjoy every step of this condo makeover. Excited to see how you make this space your own! ✨✨

[@sabrinemoniquejumauay5048]

this is all we need🍃 after a tiring day

[@genoscide9788]

Everything about you is so lovable Jessica., minimalist, introvert, plantita, calm, delicate., korean outside but pinay inside ❤️😍🌹💐

[@yojeong11]

I hope you are doing well especially on your mental state Jessica. I dunno but the last part of your reaction give me like the hint of something is wrong stuff like that. Please be safe and I hope you to be genuinely happy ☺️❤️.. Btw road to 1M yay ✨

[@camillav5876]

Keep safe. A magnitude 7.3 just hit northern Luzon, so I hope you are safe and sound.

[@joelbalde1749]

Intensity 4 in manila

[@jessicaleeseul]

I hope you are too!

[@SocialMediaSoup]

7.3? Dude, are you some kind of psychic? 😂😂😂

[@hyunjae_18]

It is so nice! I feel like we have the same taste in apartments/house 💕 I hope in the future, you could update us when you add or complete the stuff that you need. 💕 Also, hoping for lazy day at home vlog again 😭 Manifesting ✨

[@kentmarkfuentes5604]

I love the interior design of your condo, it's just it's simple and aesthetic. Anyways, maybe you can visit here in Cebu where you can find rich cultures and traditions. Stay safe!!!

[@MayMrsgn]

3:51 this is Not induction but an Electric stove, you can ask the owner if they can replace it into a Real induction one Or if they don't agree/like, just buy yourself a 1-2 stove top portable induction 👍🏼 since mahilig ka magluto need mo ng stove beh ☺️🤗 I love your place, boujee vibes (sanaol 😅) God bless your life journey here in 🇵🇭 Sending love 💕

[@Thigsy]

Electric hot plate stove to be accurate. For me, I prefer infrared stoves than induction stoves. You'll be needing cookware that is compatible with induction tech... By Using infrared... You can use almost all types of cookware.

[@prettyviruzz]

been planning to also live on my own, I am also considering a furnished one rather than bare I like how spacious the unit you've got, I think that's quite pricey, because most 1BR units now are just 30sqm or less but the price is already costly so how much more if it's >30sqm

[@d_laurel]

The opening spiel just reminded me how u are the cutest!

[@khgp_808]

Congratulations! 🎉🥳 Such a beautiful home!

[@alliego528]

if your concerned about privacy- just put frosted 3m vinyl stickers (detachable later on if you move out) on the french sliding doors, so you can do without the curtains. for the dining ask your landlord to have it fixed properly. and add back cushions so you wont bang your head on it...

[@joeytay6899]

You can change the curtains in the bedroom to a denser one to help with the sound-proofing :) It will also help with "problem" regarding you can still see the living from the bedroom :)

[@dbc3745]

You dont have to buy a new one, just present your receipt to Ikea and go to customer service for product replacement.

[@GuardianTiger]

I personally like that it's not yet complete because we get to hear your vision on what you want placed or what you want to get and such. It's just nice to see the house itself as well. Thank you ate Jessica!

[@franzb69]

that's not induction, that's a standard electric stove. it's just a plate that gets hot and heats up your pot / pan when you turn it on. induction needs a pot or pan that's magnetic so it can heat it up. electric stoves are less efficient than induction but more reliable. will last forever.

[@eggmine130]

It's a beautiful condo you have. Many people will envy you. I hope you make use of it for the career path you have chosen, and I wish you happiness!👍👍

[@eggmine130]

@Donna Castrello Touche.

[@aejoymamotosfermin2497]

Your house is so beautiful and modern. Thank you for letting us see your new house!. Ingat ka always Jess

[@hoyjude8902]

Congratulations on your new and modern dwelling. I like the color pallet of your new home. Very earth tone and homey. I would inform your landlord about the imperfections you found so that they cannot fault you for it. Condos are not allowed to have gas stoves anymore because it can cause fire. Meaning the gas can create explosion if there's a leak or left on when not lit. There were incidents in the past so it's the new law. Love the balcony which is a nice place to relax and read a book. What you need is to have a diffuser to add to your relaxation. 😊😊 Wishing you happiness and more creativity in your humble abode.

[@CarloElicano]

You should've gotten an induction stove, it heats up quickly, faster than a gas range or that, with an electric oven. It will be allowed by the condo.

[@zhie_16]

I love everything in your condo ate Jessica,the details/design everything 🤧😍

[@harrycharlesgosagmaquen4549]

Happy 900k ate jessica🎉💗😘😘

[@leonwangls]

I spend 3 weeks renting a condo in Bicutan Azure condo. The balcony is a waste of space. It's too hot to stand there. And you have to book the swimming pool. (weird concept for me). My apartment was 28 sq m. Basically, unliveable.(too small). Congratulation on your wonderful place

[@d_laurel]

I’m actually glad you posted this video! Aside from it being beautiful I’m excited to send u snacks!!!!!!!! Hahahhaah

[@siegfreidsujide299]

I want that manually adjustable white table! You have a good eye! I did not see that when I visited Ikea and I stayed there walking for hours. The one I saw was a wide computer table that can be adjusted using a lever priced at 10k pesos. Cheap compared to the motorized ones but for now I want a smaller version. 🙂

[@kevin19358]

4:27, But buying bigger and larger fridge is expensive unless it's the only choice you have.

[@maynunal]

6:16 did you check for hidden cameras behind that mirror???

[@Thigsy]

Condo living is fun! Until an earthquake strikes... I used to live in a unit on the 29th floor. An intensity 4+ hit Metro Manila and it felt like intensity 6. As a July 16, 1990 Earthquake survivor in Bagiuo city... I feared for my life. 😅😳

[@dancampana6757]

Yes, I lost a friend at the Hyatt hotel... he was just there for a day to install a computer system..then the earthquake happened ...

[@LA-bq6hf]

All high rise buildings in ph are required by law to be earthquake proof

[@markmiller6111]

@@dancampana6757how? I think buildings are built to withstand up to 8.9 magnitude which hasn’t happened in like 100 years?

[@dancampana6757]

Philippine authorities are warning us about "the big one" .....and they have published estimated body count if the time comes...look it up.

[@girlinyellow]

Hi! We actually have the same bed, and you can pull out the panels near the head board on both sides and it will come out like a mini side table 😉 or even a secret compartment 🤫 hope you see this comment and discover those side tables lol. Nice place btw! 🫶

[@JoelVReyes]

Jessica, the range oven in your kitchen is NOT induction. Those are traditional electric burners that’s why they take so long to heat up. Just grab yourself one of those tabletop Mi induction stoves. Those heat up instantly and will be allowed in your condo.

[@kevin19358]

3:06, Put it on the cabinet, so that it's not gonna drop or spill.

[@crazylittlefellow2352]

congrats for having a new home in phil. and regarding ur working table.. u can make something like diy to qdjust the leg rather than buying another one..

[@heylo757]

11:08 Ayyyyye you got that Yung Pueblo! Hahah all that interior design and I lock onto a book. That said, that tone-on-tone is a nice calming palette, nice for a in-bed reading, also neutral enough to add color-pops if you want to. Have fun decorating your new spot!

[@VVV-DL]

Life in the Philippines is in many ways, more comfortable than life in Korea. Where in Korea you are one of many employees in a corporate job, in the Philippines, you can become your own boss with the same capital, live in a bigger home, or become someone more prominent based on your talent and foreign features. Definitely not a 1st world country and may never be, but the potential to be "more" is there.

[@ashleycris245]

Congratulations Ate Jessica!💜😊, Enjoy your stay po!

[@sugArmy1999]

i'm 17 and every since i'm a 14 i always wanted to have my own apartment or condominium (don't even know the differents) haha but this might sound weird but i really like to design my own place and not that i can't design my own room with my parents it's just really hard for me to change things at home cuz my parent doesn't like it when i change things in there house like you know. but one of my dreams are to have my own condo in the Philippines. and to achieve that dream i'm now working (since 15) for my dream HOUSE & CONDO again might sound weird to have a house & condo but at the same time it's cool to have it and also it's just a dream (yet) dreams are free dream when ever you want.

[@jessicaleeseul]

Everyone has their own goals and dreams. It also was my dream when I was 17 to have my own place! :) Dreams could come true. Hoping for yours to too!💖

[@nicoleprincessify]

Happy 900k. congratulations on your new condo. Same feeling about the electric stove that takes a long time to heat up…coz it is not induction stove…might as well buy an induction cooktop for you to cook efficiently.

[@felmaabenoja179]

Congrats Jessica more blessings to come

[@jhoana9363]

Congratulations Jessica! Enjoy Manila! 😘❣️

[@iancrespo7148]

You can add a rectangular or square low basket for your keys and whatnots on the shoe rack and a simple vase for flowers.

[@shnhdnielle]

The condo is nice. I know it may take a lot of time and much of a hassle but I do suggest that you should change the bed, couch and the sitting bench on your dining coz' if there are a lot of stains in certain areas... and you never know if these furnitures are clean. Stay safe ate Jessica! ❤

[@mitch078]

Hi Jessica! Are you sure the glass on the stove is not a stove cover??? Cos my mom has the exact one and you just have to lift the glass so your pot/pan is directly onto the heating element. Maybe that’s the reason why it takes forever to heat, because you are cooking on the glass cover. Try lifting it.

[@tineejohnston9737]

Wow congratulations, I’m gonna guess, the old owner is also Korean lol , maybe replace the bed, for a full-size only overall take your time decorating start small like fix or replace tv then living room and so on ❤️😇😎

[@izzy7ph519]

It just make sense to get a place similar to your old one. Bec of familiarity. Less adjustment and getting back fast to your routine is always a plus. 🤩❤️🤩

[@williamc.9390]

Good luck to youre new journey in life in the philippines

[@geezie571]

You could still get your table replaced due to issues for free either the same or any similar table with the same amount (or just pay additional if it's more). You don't need to buy a new table yet if it's still within their replacement or warranty period, just ask first. :) Love your condo interiors!

Hi Jessica, would it also be possible for you to do a video regarding the difference in the cost of getting your condo in Seoul compared to this new condo in Metro Manila.

[@yelyl136]

@YumYummied I was just curious with the difference in the cost from her apartment in Seoul in particular which she said was a total of 44,000 pesos including all maintenance fees from her video back then, to the cost of this new condo in Metro Manila. I'm just curous with how much the difference is with these 2 condos in particular. I know about the lump sum option in Korea but that wasn't the option she used with her apartment in Seoul.

[@yelyl136]

@YumYummied She made this video below last year breaking down the cost of getting her apartment in Seoul. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooPceWqGibWEaaM

[@Top5_Pilipinas]

im looking forward to how you will transform your balcony into a little plantita jungle :) start with pothos plants, their trailing habit will make a lot of difference.

[@bubutplata5435]

I think everything is very good for now. Anyway, you are living alone and it's not like you will have guests and visitors all of the time. Who knows if you need to vacate the place for emergency purposes, then you will not have a difficult time dispatching everything. Simple is better. The basic necessities are all there. Love them all!

I saw you in Ugbo st. together with your friend (I guess) a couple of days ago. I thought you're gonna vlog about the place but I noticed that your prod team is not with you that time. You just did a quick roam around and head out. I missed my chance to finally meet you 😅 as I was too shy to approach you.

[@abet910]

Comparing prices and sizes of the condo units both in Seoul and Manila, which is much cheaper and much worth it?

Nice condo. You can slowly decorate it according to your taste although I find it a simple yet elegant place already.

[@eriksanchez7834]

We moved in our condo in 2017, but we are still missing some furniture. Night stand is still missing like yours. Where did you buy those Xiaomi products? That noise from the mirror can be fixed using the 3m command strips stickys without the hooks. I could see your tattoo on your arm. What floor are you in? There was just an earthquake today in Abra and I know since we are on the 27th floor that a small earthquake is felt more on the higher floors

It's not an induction stove that you have. It's an electric range. Lift the glass cover and those round heating elements are what you should be using 😊 nice place you got there

Yes. That is not an induction stove. It's an electric hot plate stove. I prefer infrared stoves as they're more efficient than electric hot plates. Also infrared stoves can be used with most cookware unlike induction stoves.
