That's a lesson to everyone-if you go to Philippines and introduce a western lifestyle to your filipina girl/family, build them houses, fed with money they haven't dare to dream, of course you will go broke sooner rather than later.

Hey Tim, good to see you checking in, I'm sure your family has enjoyed your visit it must seem a bit surreal walking around on the beach at your former home turf. Safe travels back to the Phils.

Have a safe trip home. Hope to see you soon over there. God bless your faith, you and your family

Great to watch you grow with your family. I first watched you during COVID after following Bald and Bankrupt and Harald. Harold introduced your channel and I have followed since. It's been a wild journey you have been on, you have show how paradise can be lived. I would love to show my family such a beautiful place ❤️

Hey Tim, I've not checked in on the channel for a short while but I'm happy to hear you reconnected with your Dad thats amazing! Safe journey back to the Philippines 🙏

Just keep being you ! Love your family/ love yourself proud of you keep doing these videos it’s great for you and the true fans of you and your family 👊

We were waiting for you Tim K 😊Love the pictures and the beach!!!

Thanks Tim, glad you made it back. You accomplished much in your travels and it has made you a better more worldly person.

Nice video update Tim ! You look refreshed. Im glad you got to spend time with your parents .

It's been awhile since I watched your channel. Nice to see you visiting Newport Beach and your dad. I will miss seeing Chrissy & Dale. In July I will be celebrating my 50th wedding anniversary with my wife, adult kids and grandkids in Oahu, Hawaii. All the Best, Robert

i returned to the us broke also, after 5 years in PI, i arrived in los angeles without a penny, i borrowed money from my family to go to denver then PA, i worked 11 months and managed to save enough to come back to my wife and kids and keep us alive until social security starts. its an odd scary feeling being stranded in los angles dragging your luggage beside homeless people dragging luggage.

i’m happy to hear that you’re back (i’ve been off social media for a while due to medical issues) for sure i have lots of your videos to watch)❤

Hi Tim. Good to see you made it back and sorting things out... I'm also home again. Thanks for everything 🙏❤👍

Tim just a suggestion, I did the same, paid rent for storage for a couple years. Then my dad said, why don't you sell it. Its getting old and you can buy the stuff again. Add up the total amount for rent, here 48mo. X 400 = 19,200 dollars! Thats a lot of furniture. Just a suggestion! Best regards Brian M.

That’s great to hear you got there safe and enjoying some QT with the family here in the U.S. May you be blessed more with Krissy and Dale

Great vlog Tim beautiful beach, looking forward to seeing you back with Chrissy and Dale xx

Great update ! I had commented earlier on your instagram we need a video...and come over to youtube & there it is ! safe travels !

I have always loved your humor, bro! I had no idea so many people were missing it, lol. Wow. And your photography was as good as Clark Little!! I was not expecting that in a million years, freaking killer! 🤘

Strange to see you in a jacket 😁 I’m glad you got to go back and get stuff done and see your family again Tim

Nice to see a new video from you👍🏻 All the best to you and your family🌻

Great video Tim I am glad you had a great time with your family. The beach looks nice there. 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!

Tim, all I can say is the Philippines 🇵🇭 rocks ! The USA is nice but also not perfect 🇺🇸 I'm enjoying my life now in Angeles City met many incredible people, hope your reunited with Your wife Krissy and son Dale,, God bless

Beautiful place Tim!

Awesome video Tim, thanks

Awesome Tim glad your having a somewhat of a good time my Friend, that sunset 👀

Your humor is a big part of why I watch your channel! The photos you shared are f'ing epic BTW. Welcome back to California Tim (from a dude in the mountains above Santa Cruz). Although I'm kinda' considering FL....

Yes a video update! Our family is always sarcastic and I recognized that in you straight away. Some of the faces Chrissy makes reminds me of me when my husband(of 36 years June 12) makes sarcastic comments like you do. I can only give my own smirk. Praying your trip was as uneventful as can be and your reunion with Chrissy and Dale was fantastic(and you recorded it lol). Take care K family! Love from southeast Florida.

Beautiful pictures Tim You have a good eye for photography

Thks for sharing Tim. Hopefully one day I can visit home in Michigan from La Trinidad 😊

You’re definitely right about sarcasm. My brother-in-law is married to a Filipina as I am, and both of us have discussed this. My wife does get my sarcasm, even though I do have to explain other kinds of jokes that are based on American experiences. Blonde jokes usually require explanation, for example.

I retired 7 years ago. I was tired of the different BS in the states. You have to pay the price to roll the dice there. I worked 52 years, and still don't know how I made it there. I like the slower pace here in Cebu. Good luck to you Bro..

I want you to stay in California, you seemed very happy in this blog, this is my first time to see and hear you, it was very interesting to hear everything you’ve been up to. Please bring your family back with you, then you can enjoy being with your parents again!!😊

Great show Tim. Good to see you getting all your stuff done. Have a great day

That beach photography was epic.

Nice to see you back in Cali bro.. Enjoy your time there before your return to the Philippines!

Welcome back, Tim. I am proud to have you back in my lovely OC, Cali.

Hope all is well Tim! Life is getting tough these days, so I hope u recover soon.

Your sarcasm is very nice touch to your videos. Keep the sarcasm coming

I asked my inlaws before I got involved with their daughter what financially would be expected of me since i was taking my wife away from them and she was helping them with her job. They said i didn't need to give them anything if i didn't want to. I wanted to get my mother in-law a refrigerator after i visited and noticed she didn't have one. She shared with her sister in-law next door. It took my wife 3 months to finally get her one. Her Dad got hurt at work. Needed help with a motorcycle payment. We just paid it off. I have never been asked for anything again. They're all good people. I love my inlaws in Leyte. The aunts are funny. They treat the foreigner well.

Glad to see your back Tim enjoy your time here!

Bro great video. Nice, to be back home for a while keep up the good work my man 😊

Nice video Tim, you look so happy to see your family after 4 years and I'm sure they missed you too. Life in the US is so much different than the Philippines that's for sure. I just renewed my Drivers License and it took about 10 minutes with no waiting!! Stay safe and looking forward to the next video!!

Hey, that's a great video - you really have conveyed the longing and nostalgia for your natural habitat there in the USA! I am from the US and Canada - but live in Sri Lanka . . . and I feel the same emotions for the world back there - which I don't know if I shall ever see again. I hope to. And I really appreciate what you say about language, nuance, and a conveying a sense of humor! . . .it really is a challenge isn't it? I am planning to go to the Philipines - just to visit and see this Dumagete place that everyone is talking about , , , really, just to experience the community . . sit around and talk to people like me for awhile . . . I don't get to do that much here. It's my own fault I suppose . . .if I had been smarter and more successful . . . I TOO would be able to pay $60 for a Burritto in NewPort Beach!! (Wow). Maybe will see you in the Philipines ! Cheers!

Welcome back and happy you enjoyed family time in Cali. Good luck

Welcome back man. Good luck to you.

New Port beach on 4th of July is crazy fun AF!!!

Glad you are coming back to beautiful laid-back Philippines. May God grant you much love and happiness with your family & friends there.👍🎆💎🕊️💎🕊️

Cool. Glad you had a great time home, got to find some unexpected appreciation for being home. It's important to do that. Keep up the great vlogging! Wishing you all the best and a safe trip home as you go back to your other home in Leyte, with Chrissy and Dale! Enjoy the good life!

Happy Father’s Day to you and yours. Thanks for sharing.

I laughed at your observation that "things work here". (I say here because I came home from Cebu a few weeks ago). That was one of my biggest complaints there - nothing worked !

It’s really more fun, food (fresh & healthy) and friendly in the Philippines. Culture of love ❤️ and slow relaxing pace of life compared to the western countries. The best thing about life is enjoying and learning new ways to be stress free and be among your family and love ones!Contentment & fulfilled life. ❤️🙏The best things in life is free. Keep it sweet and simple ❤️❤️🇵🇭

Those wave photos are magnificent! 🤩

You surely answered my question as to how long you were planning on be back in the states. Safe travels back out buddy!! And thx again for the update

I currently live in Newport but looking to relocate to Philippines in the future. Keep up the good content!

Have a great time at the home ground, Tim

Great video Tim you will be OK my freind best wishes

I think you noticed the cleanness and the tidiness of the beach no barking dogs or noisy tricycles or street sidewalks with life-threatening tripping traps.

Keep up the jokes your way! It's how you like to poke fun at things or point things out! Those of us that get it are your true target audience:)

Best Of luck for the new journey in life. Wish you all the luck.

TIM IM REALLY GLAD YOU GOT TO GOT BACK AND SEE YOU FAMILY, I NO ITS BEEN A WHILE AS I REMEMBER YOU SAYING IN A VID A COUPLE YEARS AGO, YOU CERTAINLY LOOKED HAPPY ENOUGHT, RESPECT FROM ~#SCOTLAND

Glad that you're able to see your family here in the USA again. I'm sure your parents are very happy. When I sold my house l've shipped most of my furniture, appliances and household by container. It was cheaper than having a storage for $500 per month and my family was able to used and enjoyed them. It cost me 6K for 20X10 and saved a lot of money instead sitting in storage tooked only 3 months to arrived in the Philippines.

Welcome back🇱🇷

Hope you had a good time at home , have a good trip back Tim !!

Hell yeah Newport Beach is awesome. Love it there. Have a meet and greet Tim.

I know what you mean. It takes so long to do stuff in the Philippines, simple stuff like a drivers licence, or even changing ownership of a car which in my country takes 5mins online, But PH it can take up a whole day of waiting in cues, go there fill this out, go here to get it stamped, go back there to verify, get your photo taken with your car, make a trip to the bank to pay a fee, return with the stamped receipt, each process with a long cue and a long wait, before you know it the day is gone. But it does employ a lot of people with all the hoops you have to jump through. It teaches you patience, which is a good thing.

It same in England many of my Filipino friends have perfect OP English accents very posh and nice, oh yeah the Philippines can be boring as you won't get to talk on a level to which we are accustomed with people generally! It is very important in any relationship to wait for the right one there otherwise your brain will not be stimulated. I was basically away from England since 1996 and lived in the Philippines, Bahrain, and Abu Dhabi. I got back to the UK last year and can't believe how things have changed. No one uses Cash. I went to Makati after the lockdown and most of my favorite places closed down..Cafe Havana has gone, and so many memories are now confined to the past.

Glad you came Home. Wishing you the best of luck.

Tim, you say it how it is! Whatever you say or do, i find it interesting. You always speak slowly & clearly. love that. can’t believe how cold & deserted Newport beach looks on a Summer eve. and no high rise! however, i’m from Australia & not been there. Nice to stay with your parents, mybe nearby. wish you had made more vids of your USA trip. looking forward to when you go there with Chrissy.

My thoughts on the way things "work" in Philippines is that everything and every situation has 1 thing that's off...its like a rule there. It can be very frustrating I agree.

Welcome Back to Cali timoy! Philippines is training ground to have a longer patient.

looks like the tide is rising tim,glad everything turned out good for you,aloha from hawaii,you a good man,ya got a good heart,keep on what ya doing,prayers for you and your ohana that you,ll have a propourous year to come and a better one the next year,god bless

Tim . . . Blessings to you on your new journey. ❤❤

The Beach of California is probably better than the beaches in Asia. This looks so MEGA EPIC.

Even with all of our imperfections in business, things do manage to function better than a lot of other countries. The biggest problem is that Americans tend not to appreciate how well things work here because this is the only system they have ever had to deal with. Another lesson I learned many years ago is "DO IT IN PERSON". I found many years ago that it is harder for one to tell you "NO" in person than on the phone or via email and that's provided you approach them with an attitude that signals "I NEED HELP".

Hang in there Tim, been watching for a long time🙂

Been with you since the start. Loving your style. And your humor.

Tim, you are not broke. You got it made man.

Always liked Newport the best, Laguna was my 2nd best. But that was back in 1975 - 77.

Salamat Tim for the update. Glad your Asawa and Dale are fine. God Bless from Bobby Bridgens in Florida and Cebu.

Welcome back to the USA. The beaches are sure wide and beautiful in California. Beach showers are great. Useful.

That’s so funny. I’ve been with my Filipina for 2 ½ years but she was born and raised in Orange County. I’m used to Filipina nurses and their accents, so when I first spoke to my GF I was shocked to hear a normal “valley girl” voice without accent. All of her older siblings still have the accent. She’s the baby and the one American born child they had.

Hey Tim. I’ve been living in the Philippines for the past two years and expecting my first child and yeah my finances have become pretty well depleted too. It’s really not that much cheaper in the Philippines at all. Especially when you factor that medical care and food costs in to it with no government assistance in to it. And things definitely don’t work here.

Nice video Tim!

You are really happy to be back - I hope that stays. Wiish you really a happy life and that Chrissy can come without any problem.

Tim, great video.. I am going back to Chicago in a few months and you brought up so many things that I need to be appreciative of as a US citizen. Sometimes we forget how fortunate we are, even when things don’t seem to be going well as a whole. I am all in on the Phils, but I am an American first… thanks for your perspectives.

So funny -- I live in Japan and am also from California. In terms of medical and civil stuff like Drivers License Japan is so nice. Everytime I visit Cali I feellike its just so stressful. I miss Mexican food and outdoor activities.

Hey Timoy, I've been there !! Beautiful New Port Beach...

Wow finally your home enjoy Dale and Krissy will miss you

Tim, i'm going back in the Philippines this year to escape the unending price raises in gasoline, vegetables, eating out, traffic and the site of homeless problems they brought here in big cities. The problem mostly in San Diego and Los Angeles. It is more stressful here compared to living in the Philippines. Thanks for sharing your shocking return in Newport Beach scene. God bless

Hi Tim, I assume that your parents live in Newport Beach. If so, we are neighbors. My husband and I still maintain a house in Irvine which is contiguous to Newport Beach. We moved to Summerlin, Las Vegas, Nevada to retire. We just go back and forth (Irvine, Ca. and Summerlin, NV). You mentioned that in the PH, you live in Leyte. I was born and raised in Tacloban City, Leyte, PH. I still have a family in Leyte. Our family used to own a Furniture factory and store and also a Trucking business in Tacloban but the businesses closed when the elders passed away and nobody wants to continue the heritage/legacy. Where in Leyte do you live?

Safe travels Tim 🍻

You look so happy! Glad you had a good trip!

It takes years before you can understand a Filipina wife, my brother in law who was married to my sister with three adult children took them years to know and understand each other, but he tolerated my sister, they were both Filipinos.

I totally agree with you I live in Japan and they are now introducing tap and go cash cards hard to believe a place like Japan is that far behind

We love you Tim. Enjoy your to the States!

Wow. You get a lot of viewers. You’re a successful man. Enjoy your family and time in USA. Regroup and Good luck. I’ll watch more of your videos. I respect your honesty. Thanks

I was involved (and am) in the Philipino community in the USA also, visited the Philippines. Love the them and the country. Now I am living half in USA and half in Portugal. When I come back from Portugal I have the apposite experience. I am stunned how much Portugal is easier and more organized than the USA in so many ways. It is hard to realize that all the hype of the US is best, is just that, a hype. Was really thinking about moving to the Philippines, but decided against it mostly for the 3 reasons/problems you mentioned in one of your more recent videos.

Forgive me for jumping to conclusions. I am happy to hear that you are going back to the Philippines. I'm sure Chrissy and Dale have been missing you. I have learned a lesson that I need to take a lot of things that you say as sarcasm. Again Tim, I am very sorry for assuming the worse.

Crazy, i rode my bike right past there yesterday on my way to see the waves at the Wedge. Pretty cool! I totally get your humor and sarcasm. I wish others could figure it out.

Just enjoying things.... or for everything.... And by the time you will be with Chrissy and Dale.... A wonderful messaged I love to hear in this vlog! Hope to see a vlog soon with your young smart wife Chrissy and your son Dale!. God bless you and your family🙏
