Yapping About Stuff

My friends Andrew and Taylor join me once again to yap about their insane hot takes on Kpop and Taylor Swift. They also share crazy work stories dealing with customers (featuring an all time classic moment from Taylor). Also stay tuned towards the end for some juicy and wild family gossip from Andrew.

My friend, Lalaine, yaps with me about dealing with self-worth problems and impostor syndrome. As a Doctor (she passed the boards after we recorded the episode) and a striving Psychiatrist she offers an amazing insight to learning how to love yourself. The conversation is a beautiful and personal one (this was basically a free therapy session).

Full disclaimer: some of the stories here get a bit graphic as my good friend from grad school, Andrew, shares his experiences in the dating/hookup scene. Taylor and I contribute with our own stories as well, but they pale in comparison to the insanity that Andrew has experienced in his life. It gets weird and wild and you will feel sympathy, concern, amusement, and perhaps some pity towards Andrew once you hear his stories. 

My grad school friends, Taylor and Lauren, join me once again to discuss the crushes we had growing up. Taylor talks about seeing Chris Evans shirtless in the Fantastic Four movie, Lauren shares her love for the movie The Mummy, all while I look up pictures of Jessica Alba. We also yap about dealbreakers in dating, ideal types, and reminisce about our time together in grad school.

My college friend, Cel, yaps about her love for biking, experiences in dating, and her passion for activism and fighting for social change. She interrogates me about my experiences dating a mutual friend of ours and we share our rules and plans of dating other people in the future. It's a wild discussion as we navigate and (try to) relate the multitude of interests she has in life. Enjoy. 

My college friend and fellow teacher Bai and I discuss the recent 2022 Philippine Elections, what transpired, what this means moving forward, and the importance of maintaining the integrity of our history especially with regards to the period of Martial Law under Ferdinand Marcos Sr. We talk about important topics such as the disinformation campaign that Bongbong Marcos ran, the misconceptions about Martial Law, and how to stay strong during these troubling times. Episode is a mix of English and Filipino.

My friend, Luigi Agbing, yaps about why pipes for poop should be the proper size in this informative discussion on architecture and urban planning. He tells his stories about his passion for architecture, becoming a licensed architect, and all the things he learned in between.

My friend Lauren and I share a lot of common interests, but none stronger than our shared love of Disney. We talk about our favorite Disney movies, our favorite Disney villains, favorite Disney songs, and how Lauren would like to see more LGBTQ representation in their movies going forward. 

Hello, JI Yap here. I decided to do another solo episode, and this time I am talking about my journey from gifted kid, to barely passing average student, to straight As while finishing my Master's Degree in Korea University. I share my secrets to my study habits and what I did to turn my academic life around.

My first bonus episode is my review of the highly rated animated series "Arcane" on Netflix. My friend, Osh, and I go into an in-depth discussion about plot points, characters, and storylines in the series. Also, SPOILERS.
