Hi, KURT! This vlog is a metaphor about life, which helps us better understand some of the challenges we face, giving us the ability to see more clearly why we feel the way we do or even how to move forward. No matter what life has thrown at us, we always have a choice. We can either look at it as a door that's closed to us forever or we can look at it as an opportunity to walk through a new door that we never knew was there before. Oftentimes, rejection is redirection, closed doors are protecting you from what's lurking around the corner. Plans fall through because better things are coming in. The wrong people pass by because the right ones are moving closer. Adopting this mindset will set you free and will lead you to a life filled with unlimited possibilities. All the best to you and to everything that you do! ❤❤ Your avid twin viewers from Illinois, Josephine and Jocelyn

Do you believe tipping is an important part of showing appreciation? Let me know what you think!

Magandang araw ng Linggo, @TagalogKurt. Salamat sa pagtangkilik mo sa aming mga carinderia. Sometimes your jokes don't land because Pinoys are not used to that kind of humor, or they just can't believe you can actually speak in Tagalog. Pati nga si Ate Norie, yung may-ari ay mukhang litung-lito. Tutoo ba na 5000 pesos ang tip na ibinigay mo? Hindi siya makapaniwala - kitang-kita sa facial expression niya, hahaha. Ingat lagi and hope to see you in LA,

It’s good that you tried different dishes like vegetables, even if you’re not used to the taste, because the viewers will appreciate it more. That’s how the typical Filipino eats. “Pagkaing maka-masa” means “food for the masses”. It refers to food that is affordable, accessible, and commonly enjoyed by the general population. Remember, what you find delicious might not be the same for others. Conversely, what you think isn’t tasty could be someone else’s favorite dish I love you for doing it! Thank you for your willingness to embrace and appreciate local cuisine. I’ll give you three hearts, including just 1/4 of my heart, to make it whole because I always comment from the heart. 😊❤❤❤

15:22 Si Mommy apaka non-chalant naman. Bigyan ng Energy Drink yan! 😂

Yes, rejection can often be seen as a redirection to something greater, offering valuable lessons and insights that contribute to personal and professional growth. Because rejection can open new doors and opportunities that might not have been considered otherwise, it encourages reassessing goals and priorities. This can lead to paths more aligned with one’s true passions and values. Moreover, the timing of rejection can be crucial. What feels like a setback now might actually be paving the way for better opportunities in the future. While rejection can be painful and challenging, viewing it as a stepping stone rather than a roadblock can lead to greater fulfillment and success.

Yan na ata ang pinaka malungkot n karinderya na nabigyan ng 5K 😂

Do you believe rejection is just a redirection to something greater? Why or why not?

If you’re pleased with their food and service or wish to extend kindness by giving tips, it’s an excellent way to show your appreciation. God loves a cheerful giver. We should give with a joyful and willing heart, not out of obligation or reluctance.

Maybe they rejected you because they knew their food are not masarap. Oh well, their lost not yours Kuya Kurt. 🤷‍♀️

Never mind if they dont want ..its their loss…it is free advertisements but anyway just do what you love by helping small business to be known..😊😊😊

9:42 No offence meant, you sounded like you are from Pangasinan when you speak Tagalog and Jared Hartmann sounds like Cebuano kapag nagtatagalog sya.

I think they said no because they were not confident that their food is not really good. So another karinderia got lucky. I am kind of disappointed the owner did not show much happiness and excitement. Because if that happened to me, I would really be jumping with joy. Anyway keep doing good. Thank you Tap Tap send. 😊👏👏👏

Hindi mawari kung happy o hindi si mother sa malaking tip na bigay sa kanya. Masarap ang ngiti noong una,medyo nagulat noong pangalawa. Ang mga sumunod wala ng reaction. Basta tinatanggap na lang ang pera. Ang saya pa naman ni kuya kurt sa pagbibigay ng pera. Magkakaiba talaga ang reaction ng mga tao😊 Ang iba habang binibigyan ng pera sobrang saya. Itong si nanay matipid ngumiti. Na-reject si kuya sa unang karinderya, itong pangalawa naman, medyo nakaka dissappoint panoorin si nanay at bigyan ng malaking tip😊 Ano ba yan😅 God bless you always kuya kurt

Mommy wala k ka energy energy…May pinagdadaanan yata si mommy…😅😅😅

Foreigners, like kuya Kurt, who adapt well to the culture and learn Tagalog are the most liked in this country and deserve to earn Filipino citizenship.

yung may ari parang nawawala sa sarili sobrang pogi daw kasi ni Kurt

They refuse your vlog, their loss. It would have been a free exposure to their karenderia. Plus, they missed the blessing from the sponsor.

Lage ako Present Kuya Kurt... thanks for Sharing Positive GoodVibes Stay Motivated kuya kurt... GOD BLESS take care always po ..

Kuya comeback to Philippines ha🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤. Ms. Iryn from Dubai. God bless you always❤❤❤❤❤❤

By the way Kurt, shredded fish meat, usually dried, is used as a flavoring to some Pinoy veggie dishes such as 'guinataang puso ng saging' ....no bones though! It's nice of you to get a taste of it! You're going to see more it when you go to Cebu or the Bisayan region! Goodluck & congratulation for getting close to 75 K subs! Godbless!

Yaaay, first time nauna ako. I'M THE ONE! ❤😊☝️🤙🙏🏼 Yes, tipping is important, it is a kind gesture but it should not be expected because tipping is to show appreciation for high quality products and / or excellent customer service. I am not a Vlogger or at least not yet; I faced more worse than rejection, i felt like i was k****d without d***g. I was initially unaware or in denial of what's going on, and when the realization sets in, I allowed myself to feel the pain because it is valid; learn from that experience, grow from it and never let it control me ever again. I asked God to take the wheel, trusting that he is saving the best for me. God's redirection can be painful, at times i feel like it's unfair, but i am keeping my faith that God will bring me to my beautiful destination and in Jesus name it will be someday soon. ☝️🙏🏼 ❤

We could not second guess or surmise what the 1st resto owner had in mind but she was very respectful though! On tipping, I lived in the ME for a few years where tipping is frowned upon! Here in the States some restaurants include tips / gratuities, which could go higher than 25%, to their charges regardless of whether you like the food & service or not! Pinas is a different breed! If you can afford it, it is up to you to share your blessings with these hardworking folks & with whom you could banter with glee! Goodluck, keepsafe always & Godbless!

Ate, magpasalat kayo kay Kuya Kurt. No suplada allowed!🧐 Dapat mag thank you kayo sa Taptap Send. Maraming pera na donate sa inyong business. Please be nice and respectful for Kuya Kurt’s time and effort to visit your karenderya. Let’s be real folks😊😅😮

You look exhausted in this vlog🥲but still kahit may nararamdaman ka , hyper ka pa rin para lang may content ka to share with your followers. Please don’t overdo yourself😢 With or without everyday upload, I’m always here to ❣️support you 🙌🦋🙌 But please take care of yourself always

Please do not translate "I was wondering" into "nagtataka lang ako". You may say " baka pwede lang na mai-vlog ko ang mga pagkain nyo". "Nagtataka" would only mean "puzzled" in tagalog. Thank you for your content. Me and my wife watches you always.

🙏🏽🙏🏽💜 For the Algorithm

sana kuya kurt, sinubukan mo yung ginataang puso ng saging, hindi lahat ng karenderia nag se-serve nyan, tapos bagong luto pa... you just arrived in time.. tamang tama ang dating mo yung kakabukas pa lang ng tindahan at freshly cooked pa ang mga pakkain... pwede mo rin subukan ang yung munggo nila paired with any fried fish... yung ingredients sa sa Ginataang Puso ng Saging, has shredded banana heart, dried salted fish (Daing) in this case they used a fish called "Labahita" or surgeon fish, which is a seawater fish.

Ay na reject si Kuya Kurt huhuhu para ma promote sana sila!

Hi Kurt. Could I just ask what has happened to the subtitles on your last three posts? The auto-generated ones don't work/are way behind, and a major part of the beauty of your videos is the interaction you have with the locals, which is missing here.

Laking pagsisisi ng karinderyang iyon. A wiseman once said, "Kapalan ang mukha para maraming blessings!!!"

Finding good karenderia refer to tricycle drivers at pinagsama village❤😂 happy u enjoy vlogging at that villege...taguig,rizal is itik(duck country) traditional culinary from itlog balut to all kind of adobo ❤

Pinagsama Taguig? Ususan lang ako. Have you been to Urual Grill?

Ooorrah!! Kuya Kurt! Salamat for all you do. Greetings from Philadelphia.

Ayaw Nila eh ma pro promote o maki lala yong karinderia nila..Hindi makikilala kaşı Ayaw ma vlog.

Thankyou TagalogKurt & Sponsors for Blessing to Others ❤️🙌

Pasensya kna jan kuya Kurt, ingats, Godbless

Aw kuya kurt I miss the subtitles, I don't speak the language so it's difficult to watch

Baka hendi ka masarap umibig kuya 😂😂😂

💖 saging lang ang may puso! yay to the gulay they served you 🤗 medyo nawindang yata si ate pero ganyan talaga kasi ang buhay minsan ang swerte hindi mo inaasahang darating sa iyo! 👏 . . . hi mingming 😻

I love this guy,,love his vlog,,😅

I have watched every single video you have posted but the last few videos have no subtitles making it impossible to enjoy since I don't speak the language. Are there plans to subtitle in the future or is this channel stating to focus towards Filipino audience only?

Im jealous wit this guy, buti pa siya nasa pinas, ako ako naman namimiss ko ang pinas, nakaka miss yung mga pagkain, lalabas ka alng ng bahay may mabibilihan ka na ng pagkain, dito kailangan ikaw ang magluto, malayo mag bilihan dito!!!

The karenderya who rejected you didn’t know what they missed! They could have gotten a lot of money from you! Their loss🤨

Hello Kurt, why of all people did they reject you? I am sorry. I don' t understand. Keep going, enjoy the food you encounter in the next carinderia. God bless.

My fav content walking on street kulitan with strangers..anyway my most favorite Filipino dish is mongo..kaya ko ubusin Isang kaldero haha..kuya there's a marites,she said u have surprise and u will give something coz she watching ur live before.. amazing vlog kuya 🤗🤗🤗🥰

Speechless si NANAY … haha … anti climactic

You are always such a beautiful kind-hearted person. Thank you kuya for sharing your blessings to others

Blessing in disguise after rejection. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

WOW! Pinoys that didn’t want to be vlogged.

You should try the dinuguan🤘🏼

2:52 The first thing that went into my mind is, they probably don’t have business permit and the health and sanitation permit from the municipal’s office that’s why they refused for you to feature them.

👋 JB present!

I can't believe the other karenderya rejected u..bahala cla lol..anyway ur my fav RU-vidr sa pilipinas 🤗🤗🤗😊

It was their loss, not yours Kurt. Go on Kurt.

Bicol express. Mabils lololol

Have fun kuya kart❤❤❤

i thought the Monggo is on the House.

Speechless si bossing.

You looks so exhausted.

Have you ever faced rejection when trying to film or vlog? How did you handle it?

Watching again 😊!

When someone says “no” to you, it’s natural to feel disappointed or frustrated. However, how you react can make a big difference. Respecting their decision shows maturity and understanding, as everyone has the right to say no. If appropriate, ask for feedback on why they said no, as this can provide valuable insights and help you improve in the future. Remember to stay positive, as a “no” is not the end of the road but might be a redirection to something better. Embrace the journey and keep moving forward.🤍

❤❤❤

If you’re going to eat vegetables it’s always better to pair it with any fried fish.

Nice Video, Keep up💝🫶

Ganda!

Good day!
