DID I MAKE A BIG MISTAKE - ONE MONTH REVIEW OF LIVING THE PROVINCE JUNGLE LIFE #travel #lifestyle #philippines
HAPPY INDEPENDANCE DAY AMERICA
July 4th 2024
It has officially been one month since my family moved to live on Siargao Island here in the Philippines. Today I answer some of the questions that people have been asking me about life on a Island.

You have the right personality and perspective on life to succeed there. Not to mention a pretty great wife. I'm not as remote as you, but my little slice of heaven suits me fine. Last census our village has 500 houses and 1400 residents, and I get along just fine. It's all in the attitude, you either fit in or you get out. Happily my reputation in the village is the guy who's always smiling and kind to the neighbors. I'm happier and healthier here than I've been in years, and slowly getting my weight down. Bless you and your family, please put Lots channel in the description so I can follow her as well.

I think you made the right choice. I live rural on mountain east of CDO. Only issue is local pharmacy not stocking my bp meds and insulin so I drive to BALINGASAG once a month. Good clinics near as well as a private small hospital. We added on to existing house. I put in running water. Done pretty much as you did. Wouldn't change a thing. 😊 I too have Starlink and stream philly on my 55 in Samsung. Starlink is the answer to province life.

Great video, my wife and I kind of did the same thing two years ago we built a house 80 km south of Manila. For a while, we were happy but now we just miss everything that we had at such a convenience in the city. This will be our last holidays here and then we are going to move back to Manila, we just put our house on the market. I think whatever makes you and your wife happy is the most important family as always first.

You're living in one of the most beautiful tourist islands in the world, in your own home, and with your big happy family. You're not there like a tourist on an extended vacation but since you are retired and don't have to go to work or be somewhere everyday, then you'll truly enjoy and make the most of your permanent vacation this time because you're on a new and different location that's has a different community, topography, and vibe, and it's a vacation island. I can see real excitement on your face besides the more joyful mood, and I'm honestly just so happy for you. IMHO, you really are living the dream retirement.

I rarely watch videos in the Philippines since I'm quite familiar and comment on those even less. However, I have always watched yours because one reason. Complete and total honesty. You don't feed viewers a bunch of crap and blow smoke up the wazoo. I know what you do is not easy and it's time consuming to say the least, but I for appreciate all your efforts and candidness. Best of luck and please keep up with the great videos.

Great to hear you're doing well Brian. Interesting to hear what you say about the water and electric. Our house in Dagupan was built really quickly and is now nearly finished, but it's taking a long time to get the water and electric connected. I guess then it's the same wherever you are in the Phils.

He might last a year, but the frustration of people alwaays around. Not being able to enjoy sitting in kitchen alone. After seeing the food you buy for a week gobbled up in days. oectation you pay for everything, pay for school, birthday parties, rice fir all. It gets really old and really exoensive. Missing panda exoress delivery. Missing western food.

Yep experienced that on holidays, so god forbid what it’d be like living there full time. Not for me. Seriously looking at Thailand now.

@johnyvik7242 Ай бұрын

I thought that too. Guess what? It didnt happen. When I got back to the states I couldnt eat Western food. I was looking for rice and fish. Didnt watch tv anymore. Had no use for toilet paper. Etc..😢 In Phillys older videos for example, he was looking for a temp gauge for his oven. Now they use an open fire. I think Phillys TV, washing machine, stove wont get used much. His Western habits are slowly leaving.😊

Thanks to a wise diabetes doctor in Bacolod, I changed the way I was treating my diabetes. This doctor told me I was taking too much medicine. She cut my daily insulin amount to less than a half of what my American doctor had prescribed. Plus I went from 20 pills a day to 3. My daily sugar levels are now fantastic (~90 to 150). My limited impression is that American doctors want to drug you up because we have money to spend from our insurance plans while the Filipino doctors want to just help where needed because their patients usually have very limited budgets. I feel better than I have in twenty years, (I am 60.) I am keeping up with my much younger Filipina wife. Less is more. God bless the Philippines.

@palmamallorca6994 Ай бұрын

Brian, Congratulations on your new, exciting jungle journey and thank you for taking us all along with you. Go back and look at your videos in months past. You are looking well and 5-10 years younger now. Province life is agreeing with you, however counterintuitive that may be to a lot of people. No regrets. And, yes, rain IS beautiful! All happiness to you, Lot & family. Godspeed.

Spent 3 months on Dalupiri island Philippines. It's nice there but i got a little board. You would need something to keep you busy. I'm use to staying busy in the USA. But i enjoyed the Island life better than the City. We bought half a Acre (30m x 60m) on the beach so hopefully next trip ill have the property to keep me busy. Im a farm boy so i enjoy working on property.

Awesome brian, glad you're enjoying the "jungle life." I grew up in a small farming community that was very close to the North Dakota border, so I understand what living in the province must be like. I have no interest in living in the manila area where I currently rent a 2 bedroom condo. The noise is unbelievable, and there are many things that I don't like about being in that area. Maybe a different city in the Philippines would be OK. I am not sure, but I have ideas of living in the province and am always looking for that perfect opportunity to settle in somewhere. Take care brian and keep the videos coming I love to watch your journey.

The one thing that I didn't like about communal living in a place where I was the odd man out is that I wasn't the king of my castle. I like most mature men like being in control of my surroundings, and you will find that when it comes to family issues, just how much of the family you really are . When you were in Angeles City, you were the king of the house and made the major decisions. Also, when it comes to paying the bills, as you are the one with the pension, you get the pleasure of paying them. You're building a house, and there are certain things that you expect, but you might be mistaken, so just kind of watch and see how things go . I know that you just didn't fall off the coconut truck and probably are way ahead of me, but I am just sharing my observations, and it's my experience.
