Gryffindor~
Hey it's me, Abby P! What up, my P-PLE!
Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas
And New Year's is coming up so Happy New Year!
And I really wanted to try to get this Q&A 2018 before the actual New Year, so here it is
These questions come from you guys on Instagram and Twitter so...LET'S GET IT!
Oh and one thing is I separated all the language questions for another video
I'm gonna do a Language Q&A
Okay, so first
Are you half American?
I'm full American...
My nationality is American but ethnically 100% Filipino
If that's what you're asking
What's the thing you miss most about the States?
Of course my family and my friends, and just the comfort of being in the country and environment
That I grew up in most of my life
And I think, well at least in California where I'm from
There's definitely a more chill vibe compared to Korea
In Korea I always feel like when I go out I have to look a little nicer, put on makeup every time I go out
But in the States, it's so chill there
Like you can literally go out in your pajamas, no makeup, and it's just really relaxed
So that's one thing that I definitely miss about the states
Would you settle down in South Korea permanently?
I don't know
I really don't know
That's my solid answer for you - I don't know
I don't know if I'm gonna stay in Korea permanently
I don't know if I'm gonna go back to the U.S.
Right now I'm still very comfortable in Korea
I still feel like there's a lot of things I want to do here
A lot of things I want to share with you guys
So as far as moving back to the U.S., not anytime soon
But who knows?
I might want to move back later in the future
Where do you want to spend the rest of your life after a certain point?
I'm really the kind of person that just goes with the flow
I do have long-term goals for myself as well as short-term goals, but life is always... life throws things at you
You just never really know
I guess to answer your question - I would want to be some place that's kind of chill, comfortable
Not too busy or crazy because I'm a very chill kind of person so I don't want to be living somewhere
Where it's very hectic, like big-city life
Once I do reach a certain point where I just want to settle down
Where is your place to go on vacation?
Home, to the U.S.
To see my family and friends
Do you ever want to move to Seoul?
Uh, yeah, maybe someday in the future
Do you plan on teaching in Korea much longer or teaching in general?
I'm comfortable with my job right now
My dream is definitely to be a full-time Youtuber and be making videos for you guys more frequently
And have that as my priority
But teaching, to be honest, makes me feel satisfied
I feel fulfilled and I do like teaching children
I can see myself doing it for the next few years or so
Are you going to have children or adopt?
Ooh, interesting question
Yes, I would like to have children someday
But very far far into the future
Because I have so many things that I want to do
And having children is a really really big responsibility
And I want to be able to give all of myself and all of my time towards that child
Not anytime soon
And as far as adoption
Yes, I would definitely totally adopt
Can you tell us your age?
I'm just curious, how old are you now?
How old are you now?
How old are you???
How tall are you and your age? Thanks
I know so many of y'all are still curious about my age
You know what? I don't feel like revealing that yet
So, sorry! Stay tuned
This is not a question but a request: please do more videos about Luna and Artemis next year
Aww okay, I will
What got you into anime?
Was it a sibling, friend, or did you stumble upon it?
When I was a little elementary school student
All I did was turn on the TV and started watching Sailor Moon and Pokemon
My brother really like Dragon Ball so I'd watch that with him sometimes
And the rest is history and I've loved anime since then
And the amount of anime that I consumed just grew and grew and my interest in anime never stopped
What is your biggest accomplishment in life so far?
By the way, love your videos!
Thank you!
My biggest accomplishment in life so far...
Duh! Being able to connect with all of you guys all over the world and having this platform
To where other people can connect with each other and listen to each other's stories and each other's opinions
And it's just a really beautiful thing to me and I feel so proud of that
(Sigh)
I'm like out of breath (laughs)
This is so hard
What was your biggest 2018 goal and did you accomplish it?
I wrote down several goals for myself for this year
And I gotta go check my planner because I wrote it in my planner so one sec, lemme grab that
Okay, so one of my goals was to take the TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean), which I did
That's the test of proficiency (in Korean)
I took the TOPIK 2, passed it
So that was cool
One of my other goals was 15,000 Youtube subscribers
So definitely checked that one off because I'm at like sixty something, sixty something thousand subscribers
So that was really really unexpected
So guess that's my biggest goal
Another goal was to cosplay, which I did
I did... how many cosplays did I do this year?
I think I did two
Definitely wanting to do more next year
So that's another goal achieved
And I also had some fitness goals
So I signed up for the gym, did P.T. training
And pretty much
I was able to complete all of my goals for this year
So that is a big accomplishment for me
Don't have anything to ask
Keep on updating vlog, I love so much
Thank you very much
I have nothing to ask actually just want to say you are awesome, mabuhay ka ("live on!")
Maraming salamat, po (Thank you so much)
Have you ever been to the Philippines?
Of course, of course
Like I said in several of my videos
My family and I go to the Philippines every like three to five years ever since I was little
So yes, I've been there
Why did you choose Korea?
I have a video on my channel that talks about how I became interested in Korea
So that was one thing - I had an interest in Korea
And the other thing was the program here
The teaching English program in Korea seemed very good, you know, the benefits
And I like that you don't have to pay for your rent
Your school covers your rent
So that was a really big incentive for me
Able to save money
You can definitely save a lot of money
How long does it take to film a video?
Well, it takes anywhere from like an hour to two hours or more if it's a really long video
(Plus more hours for editing)
What is your skincare routine? What products do you use?
So I get a lot of questions these days about my skincare routine
I pretty much do the "step process", what is it?
Like five step process for Korean skincare or whatever
If I'm not lazy
I get lazy a lot of the days, but
In the morning
Wash my face
That's pretty much it in the morning
All I do is wash my face with water
And then at night
I take off my makeup with like an oil-based makeup remover
And then, what's next?
And then I wash my face with facial cleanser
And then I do the skincare "step process"
The first step is toner, that's what it is
Toner, pat that on
Next is essence, pat that on
And then, if I want to get really fancy I got an eye cream
So I pat that eye cream like around here
Got a moisturizer
Really fancy, you know, I'll put on a mask
I think that's it
But that's on days where I'm really wanting to take care of my skin, but on most days it's really just
Wash my face, facial cleanser, and then put on like a night cream or something
But um, yeah
Because a lot of people were asking about my skincare routine and like asking what products I use
I will definitely put a skincare routine video down on my video to-do list
So look out for that in the new year too
Do you add something ("yah", "ee", etc.) to your boyfriend's name?
Sorry, if it's personal
No, it's okay
His name is "Jeonghoon" and I call him "Hoony"
So I take a last part of his name, the "Hoon"
And then I do add like an "ee"
As far as that, we don't call each other by like "couple names" like "jagiya" and "yeobo"
We don't do that
Ow!
Luna's biting me
Do you hear this?
She's attacking my arm
Want to play right now?
This isn't a question but always take care of yourself there
Luna, please
I always marathon your vlogs
Girl
Thank you very much
When will you visit the Philippines again?
I would like to visit next year in 2019
Girl I'm trying to make a video, okay?
Why you attacking me?
She wants to play
Ouch!
Luna!
So the question was when will you visit the Philippines again?
And I was saying before I got attacked, I would like to visit next year hopefully
A lot of people were suggesting to do a meet-up or like a meet-and-greet kind of thing
It sounds like a lot of fun and I would like to meet all of my kababayan (fellow Filipinos)
What do you call your viewers?
Of course, my "P-PLE"!
You must have amazing time management skills! How do you do it?
I just do it
(Not sponsored by Nike)
Hi Luna and Artemis!
Time managment skills...what do I do?
I don't know, man
I have a planner
I just keep a planner, I write everything down so I know what's going on that day, what I need to get done
Yeah I think I just keep organized, that's it
What's one lesson you learned that you want to pass on to the kids?
Be kind to others
Be kind to yourself
What's your favorite song of 2018?
("thank u, next" - Ariana Grande)
What are your hobbies besides volleyball? Or what are your top three favorite foods?
Favorite foods question is really hard
So I'm gonna go with the first one: what are your hobbies besides volleyball?
Sleeping
Eating
And uh...
What do I do?
Obviously I make videos
I edit them
I do YouTube
What else? I study
I study languages sometimes when I'm not lazy, which is not very often and
Take care of my cats
I'm a cat mom, as you guys know
Speaking of cats, we got one over there
Standing up like a human
And down he goes
I like to watch anime
I like to cosplay
That's all I can think of right now
I'm going to Korea next month
Is it possible to meet you?
That depends on where you're at and where I'm at
This has to do also with like meet-and-greets
I am really considering doing a gathering or like a meet-and-greet next year
Like I said in the Philippines and then I want to do one here in Korea, of course
I feel like I would do that like in Seoul probably
Seoul or Daegu, one of the big cities
Let me know in the comments for those that are living in Korea, where you think the best place would be
For an Abby P meet-and-greet/meet up with my viewers
Also let me know like specific places where you think would be good
Let me turn down this lighting though
Got brighter
How's that?
Is that better?
Peanut butter and jelly are at war
Who wins? What kind of bread was the battlefield?
Peanut butter wins and the bread is wheat bread
So bright, why?
The sun, ahhh!
I gotta adjust it again
Oh my god
My cat, really???
Like, stop
Okay next question from a Japanese follower
Miss Universe...
This kanji (Chinese character) is...
This kanji is "shutsujou" (participation)
When will you participate in Miss Universe?
Whaaat, why?
I can't do it
When are you going to the Philippines?
And can you teach me Korean?
When will you be going to the Philippines?
So yes, I know a lot of my Filipino viewers are very curious about that
I would like to go next year if any of my Filipino viewers have any suggestions for me
On where to have a meet-and-greet or where to go or the best places
Then please let me know in the comments
I will try to arrange a time to go there to
Of course, visit my family and my relatives and meet all of you guys, mga pinoy viewers ko (my Filipino viewers)
Have you ever been in an awkward position in front of your students?
Yeah, I feel like there's definitely been moments
I think one of the recent moments is my whole entire school, both of my schools
Found out that I have a YouTube channel
So my old school from two years ago
They already knew that but now... I was hoping my current schools wouldn't know about this
I wanted to keep this as like my own personal hobby that I do, but they found out somehow
Because my videos showed up as like a recommendation
So they all found out and then like they were going around talking about my Youtube and going
"Abby P!" "Youtuber!"
And so that was like a little awkward for me
I took care of that and yeah
I guess I have to update you guys on that because I didn't really talk about that thoroughly yet
But yeah, basically I told my students that
Yes, I do have a Youtube, and this is what it is
But at school, I'm a teacher
I'm not a Youtuber, I'm your teacher
So please address me that way and blah blah blah
Okay, next question
By the way, sorry if the lighting keeps changing
It's because I think it's cloudy outside or there's clouds moving in front of the sun every so often
So, sorry about the lighting changes
Okay, next question: how to be positive and motivated to learn anything new?
You need to have a purpose, a realistic goal, and an organized plan to stay motivated and positive
To learn anything new, whether it's a new language, playing the guitar or piano, or learning a new sport
You need to make goals for yourself
Realistic goals that you can accomplish
In a certain time frame, and then improve from there
So you definitely need that to stay organized to keep going with whatever you're learning
And I think for me personally, it's actually quite easy to be positive and motivated in the beginning
Whenever you're learning something
Because in the beginning like that's when it's the most exciting and you're like really pumped up
You're like "Yeah, I'm gonna do this new thing!"
And especially like for me, I'm very passionate
So it's very easy for me to like jump into something new
And it's really exciting, like I said
But the hard thing is to stay motivated and to stay positive when you're already along that path, that road
You're like well into the process of learning and getting better at this new thing
But yeah, the hard thing is is staying on that path
So for that, it takes discipline
You need a lot of discipline to accomplish whatever you're trying to learn
That's what I have to say on that: you need a plan, you need to follow that plan, and you need to be disciplined
I just wanted to know are there Catholic churches in Korea? Do they have a lot of them?
There are Catholic churches
I've actually been to one in my first year
I went with my co-teacher to a Catholic church because my family's Catholic and I grew up Catholic
We went to one on Easter
So there are Catholic churches here
And I think there are quite a bit of Catholic Koreans here
What are your top 3 favorite anime of all time?
Are you kidding me? That's so hard to answer, gosh
I need some time, give me some time
1 hour later...
Okay, I'm back
That was very hard
And I couldn't narrow it down to three, so I'm gonna give you four of my favorite anime
First, "Sailor Moon" duhhh
Next, "One Piece"
Number three, "NANA"
And number four, "Haikyuu"
I miss you! How long do you plan on staying in Korea
That's from my friend Julie
Hi, Julie! I miss you too!
Do you think you are capable of teaching high school students?
I've never taught high school students yet
But I think I could do it
I think I can do it
When you do not know what your next step in life is, what do you do?
You
Take a nap
You take a nap first because
That's what I do
I sleep it off
That is a very, very common thing to feel like for many people
Not knowing what your next step in life is
So I think an important step to do after that is to realize that it's okay and not to panic because
It is a very common feeling and I remember feeling this way a lot of the times in my past
Being really depressed about it
Feeling very hopeless and unmotivated
It was a very dark time in my life
So I think it is important to just realize that it's okay
It's okay to feel that way
And then just take things day by day
And then eventually one day you will find something that you might want to try
Maybe you might find your passion
There's that, stay positive!
Did you ever regret that you moved to Korea?
No
Not really
How are you?
I'm good, thanks
If Luna and Arty turned into humans for a day, what's the first thing you'd do with them?
That's an amazing question
What should we do, guys?
I think I'd have a conversation with them
We could just sit down over a really yummy meal
Probably take them to like a really delicious seafood place, of course, because they're cats
So they'd wanna have some like fish or something
So we'd have a meal and just talk
Just have a conversation
I wanna know their thoughts
I wanna know if they think I'm a good mother
If I'm providing well
If they need, you know, something
I wanna tell them my thoughts
How much I love them
And a lot of cheesy things like that
Did you always want to be an English teacher in Korea? PS You're so cute
Thanks
Not always
It was just a thought that would come up when I was in university
And then in the last like year or two before I actually came to Korea that's when I was really like
"Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna be an English teacher in Korea."
What is one thing you would tell someone who is planning to move/go to Korea?
I would say
Oh, one thing?
Dang, one thing
Okay
If it's one thing then I'd say
Be open-minded
If you've never been to Korea before or a different country or have experienced a different culture
There's gonna be a lot of unexpected things, a lot of differences
So just be open and positive
How did you end up teaching in Korea?
I applied online through a recruiter and then they hooked me up with the EPIK program
We went through a whole application process, interview process, training
I had to take care of all my documents
So it was a very very long process
Why is your brother so great?
This question is...
From my brother
Why are you so great?
Because I'm your older sister, that's why
I taught you everything that you know
What do you want to do before 2018 ends?
I actually made a list
I made a list in my planner of everything I need to do before 2018 ends
I made my New Year's goals and then I made like an End-of-the-Year goals
One of them is I need to finish up that Korean grammar book that I still never finished
That I talked about in my "How I Learned Korean" video
And then I also want to finish a couple other books that I'm reading
What is your favorite Filipino, Korean, and American foods? I want to know so I can try them
Damn, y'all...
Y'all giving me a really hard questions though
Filipino foods?
Where do I even begin?
And then desserts
Don't even get me started on the desserts
Korean foods...
I also really love like all Korean food
It's so hard
Okay, let's let's narrow it down
I do like Korean soups and stews a lot
American foods?
Bro
All you gotta do is go to Costco, go to the food court
Get anything on the menu there
You can get a pizza, hotdog, Polish sausage
The...what is that?
The chicken bake is good
Either that or American hamburgers
With the fries and a Coke or a Sprite or something
So good!
Where will you celebrate your Christmas and New Year?
Here in Korea
I'm not going anywhere special
Your resolution regarding to Korean learning and your YouTube channel as well
I'll answer the second part of that question
I'll save the first part for my Language Q&A
But for my Youtube channel
We're aiming for 100k subs next
What fictional place would you most like to go?
(Excited gasp)
I think definitely because I'm so nerdy and geeky and otaku
I'd definitely like to go to a world where I can have like superpowers or magic or something
So, you know, Harry Potter or even in the Marvel or DC Universe
Like any superhero universe
Boku no hero academia (My Hero Academia)
One Punch Man
One Piece!
I wanna have, superhuman strength, or be able to fly, or be able to heal people
Something like that
How are your Korean cooking skills?
Pretty basic
I make really simple stuff like
I can make bibimbap
Just whatever's simple, I can make that
Who is your favorite pet? Luna or Arty?
What?!
Why would you ask that?
I'm not gonna answer that
You know I love them both
Woohoo! We did it, you guys!
So that's my 2018 Q&A
