After 5 long months of lockdown and not being able to go to the studio, we are finally back...again! And we hope this is the last time we have to make a return, rona please exit the groupchat.
February, the month of love. Happy belated Valentine’s Day!
We know you guys spend a lot of time watching TV dramas, teleserye's & movies, as do we - especially during this lockdown!
Oh my gosh, parenthood?! Seems like light years away for us chismosa’s! Can you picture it? Having a little mini you?
“It’s just a phase” - we’ve all had about a hundred of them! In this weeks episode we reminisce on our phases going from teens to adults. It’s fun thinking back on things that you used to be into, trends that you were following & realising DAMN I’m so glad for the glow up!
And I oop... Yes the D word. You guys must be thinking huh?! You've got to listen to the episode for context hehe
Wait, a Filipino creative? No way! Who? What? When? Where? How?? Yes, we know we’ve all heard it before, as 1st Gen we’re pushed to have stable careers such as engineer, teacher, lawyer etc.
Being born and raised in a whole other country to the one you’re living in sounds scary right?
That’s a bit of a madting still!!! If you wasn’t/aren’t from London, what would you think that phrase meant? We’d love to know!
Ever wondered what life was like for a fil-brit in the 80’s? Well in this episode we are joined by Gisselle’s wonderful siblings who give us an insight into how life was like growing up in London back in the day!
We delve into a deep conversation about identity crisis, as born and raised Filipina’s in London we cultivate a mindset that can sometimes be the product of our environment but also sometimes be the product of or heritage.
Back to school, already ?! September is only around the corner but first, we wanted to congratulate everyone who has received their grades - whether it be your GCSE’s, A Levels, Masters or even PhD!
We understand that beginning a new venture can be daunting - whether you’re starting a new job or business, dipping into the creative world, or simply trying something new. But there’s nothing to be afraid of, there’s nothing in this world that YOU can’t do!
Social media is FULL of trends! If you haven’t jumped on a trend are you really doing social media right?! But hold up, have you done your research?
After being out of the studio for a few months it’s only right we catch up with each other and talk about being in lockdown! A whole pandemic and staying at home? What a combo!
We are back in the studio!!! Did you miss us? We definitely missed recording BUT we have been keeping up with you guys through our Instagram Lives!!! (Check our highlights on our YouTube channel!)
As girls we have always found that things were very different compared to our male siblings, our parents gave them a little more leniency. Which was frustrating but we found our ways around it.
Turn up vibes because it's Gianne's birthday month!!!
If you grew up knowing a Filipino girl you've definitely heard something called a 'debut'.
Yeah we know, even in the Philippines there’s a big thing about whitening products; being ‘lighter skinned’ is deemed more ‘beautiful’ - is this really the case? Crazy to think here in London we want the sun to tan and get darker to look more ‘bronzed’ and ‘glowy’. Which is the complete opposite in the Philippines apparently. In this episode we talk about the beauty standards over here and over there, oh and we have a special guest who’s all about beauty - Samantha Evira. Catch us on Instagram for all the chismis all week long @22chismis and for all things beauty @samanthaevira
Do you have any close friends of the opposite sex? You do?? How??? Nah we’re joking, it’s an iffy one. Some people think you can and some people think you can’t. Having a platonic relationship with the opposite sex seems out of the ordinary for many Filipinos. There are a lot of mixed views on the topic of being ‘just friends’. In this episode we dig deep in our thoughts about it with our male friend Ryo! We came to one of the conclusions that our parents relationship with their friends affected our friendships now! So can you be friends with the opposite sex? We want to hear from you! DM us at @22chismis, lets discuss
Do you remember the very first time you came home (without telling mum) with your new piercing or your new hairstyle or new tattoo? What was her reaction? Was she calm or did she call you a rockstar?
In this episode Gianne emphasises visualising & taking action can make your dreams come true. What do you think? We talk about whether we would be able to hack living in the Philippines for a couple a months and what we would do out there. It’s so different to London, but if we were to come out of our comfort zones it could happen... but... uhhh we still don’t know! What would you do? Let us know @22chismis on Instagram! Orrrrr message us individually to motivate us in doing what we got to do

If you have any other recommended places to visit make sure you share it on our Instagram @22chismis, see you there!
Adulting can be difficult, especially when money is involved. From our experiences growing up in a Filipino household, money can be a sensitive topic. Another one to add when needing to communicate with our parents. We know it’s a hard one but communication is really key when growing up, and we still growing! Need a tip or two on being smart with your money?

So come and sip some tea (with your pinky poking out of course) after a hard day of being a nurse. Joking! We want to hear what kind of experiences you have, the good, the bad and the ugly!

Uni degree? Done. Life after uni? Ermmm... let’s discuss. This episode Giss & Gee talk all about their experiences during uni, after uni and their current situation. Literally just figuring it out as we go. We both haven’t taken the conventional route after uni, so give us a listen to see what we’re actually up to. But to be honest we don’t even know what we’re up to! I know it can be a hard topic to talk about when we feel like everyone else is running their race. But we’re here waiting for you in our DM’s @22chismis x
