Without question, this video is hands-down one of the best on Westerners with Filipinas relationships.
But then, I could probably say that about most all of you videos.
Thanks again for a great video on this subject. 🙂
@@xavierkoolat6926 Xavier it’s great to see you supporting our channel and making comments missed you for a few weeks. Welcome back.
Jealous is an understatement.
Papa Doug, you know what you’re speaking of thanks for being a supporter and taking the time to comment
Bwahaha. It’s more extreme huh.
A couple of comments, Rob and Chrissey: Before your channel existed, I followed a number of the Philippines related channels. Now, I only follow your channel. I am going to the Philippines for the first time in July to Davao province. From all your content, I feel well-prepared for the visit. I love the sense of humour and lightness of all your videos, in addition to giving time to cover your content. Well done.
Wow David that’s high praise. Best of luck to you and your trip to Davao. I offer personalized consultation sessions, which can be helpful for someone moving or coming for the first time. You can email me at fly me to the philippines@gmail.com.
Jealous or insecure? I can handle some jealousy but insecurities and distrust is a whole different level 😮
Certainly can be challenging
I'll say insecure...
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video. Sure enjoyed learning with you.
Thanks for the positive feedback and kind words. Glad you’re here.
Once more good content.
Toby, thank you for the positive feedback
I noticed you sir. You look younger by the day. Chrissy takes good care of you and having been in a great transition in your life here in the our Philippines. Keep us inform always. And I'm your avid watcher of your videos. Wishing you the best of everything...
I appreciate that. Thank you for your feedback. ❤️🙏👍
Good job on your videos. You guys cover a good diversity of subjects and cover them creatively and interestingly. Keep up the great work!
Bern Thank you! Will do!
I believe in a 50/50 relationship, of course, each person needs to take the lead in specific areas if they are more knowledgeable in that area, for example, finance/budgeting, children’s education, childcare, cooking, etc
Thanks for watching and taking the time to provide such a thoughtful comment. Good points.
Good morning from Montreal
Once again very appropriate topic in this video. The frank discussion about these honest questions was excellent banter. I smiled frequently at your comments to each other. Thanks for the education!

It was!
Good job guy ........
Thanks so much Thad
Just turned on notification to your videos. Hope you enjoy the rest of your night!
Thanks Dave 🙏
Dear Chrissy and Rob - quite a funny and interesting feature, also that you have each found and accepted the differences with humor and laughter. Nice to see you together. Best regards from Denmark 😂
Hi Ben, great to see your support. Love to see your comments. Greetings to those in Denmark.
I REALLY liked this episode! The one Expat expectation I didn't hear was regarding money: How much extra expense for her, family support, children etc. Chrissy, regarding your expectation on communication- I can see Rob is patient, but your English (and cultural references as Rob mentioned) is very good... so props to you. You two are so compatible, I hope to be so lucky. Peace and Love, B Goat
B Goat great to see your comment. Here we love to hear from you one of our earliest subscribers great feedback and thanks for sharing.
I am very glad I found you two. I really enjoy learning how to act and what to expect. I want to be respectful and enjoy my retirement in the Philippines. Thank you awesome video.
Thank you for the positive feedback. Hopefully we can help you navigate these waters.
you two are really good together, excellent chemistry! Chrissey is a classy lady and really fun, and Rob is the consummate gentleman with a dash of wisdom. You all pull it off really well. Cootos
Wow, thanks for the positive feedback
I have two comments. First you two have very good chemistry together. A very natural and easy going personalities. Your keto diet is exactly the same as mine. Life changing for me.
I’ll be going to CDO later this year. Hope to bump into you two !😊
Yes, let me know when you’re in town and feel free to email me if you want help coordinating your time in CDO
Good vidi
Hi perry thanks for the feedback
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines your welcome, I think you and Chrisy have a good understanding together

I really enjoy your videos. It is quite refreshing to see INTELLIGENT conversations. I also think that the age gap works when both are intelligent.
Well, thanks Mike for the positive feedback and kind words. Thanks for watching and taking time to, it really helps our channel.

Fly Me To The Philippines Your content is excellent It is always good to see you.
Are wanted the power couples on the internethat's a great thing you are very, very giving and loving and thank you for being there for us. That means a lot to give a little of your time. For someone things a lot to me. You know, in every state you go to any country you've ever been to. There's a lot of differenversus. You know, and respect this number one. Respecting each other's culture getting along with each other. Learning from each other. These things are unfortunate everyday of our lives. We should learn something every day and I've learned something from you guys every day you post. I always learned something. Some women wanna come to the United States. Some don't. That's what I'm when I go through all these videos. That's what I want learning like someone doing so don't and that's okay, too. Cause you know, there's nothing. Leave your house, totally understand that.
I love your video today. I love all your videos. You always have great videos.Don't ever stop.
Have a good day, good evening and a Good night, and I'll See you on the next video I am cedric nash your number one fan
Hi Cedric, thanks for your continued support and for sharing your thoughts
Thank you.Have a great evening.Have a great morning.Have a great afternoon and I'll see you in the next video
gotta say your thumbnails and topics are really rocking the algoriythms
Thanks Shawn
Just subbed. I'm heading to Bohol next March to go scuba diving. I will be relocating to the PI after I retire this time next year. Been to the PI 4 times back in the 80s whilst in the Navy. As soon as you mentioned call centers, a light went on. I worked for Alorica for 18 months as a systems administrator here in NM. The people I spoke with daily, both men and women, spoke perfect english. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks for the sub. I hope you have a great trip.
When I worked in both Southeast Asia and Southwest Asia I hired a maid/cook. Sometimes I hired a driver and translator and from time to time a bodyguard. In some countries I could carry a firearm. Not sure how I’ll handle retirement. There’s no reason not to keep domestic help. It supports the local economy.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing
The age gap is not a problem if the woman is mature...your girlfriend seem to be very much a mature and fun spirited one. LUCKY YOU …Thanks for that video
Gary, thanks for watching our video and taking the time to comment. It really helps our channel.
You look good. Don't appear 37 years difference. I am 25 years difference. God Bless you Both.
Wow, thank you 🙏 😀
You two are so wonderful together. Your topics are always on point and well done. 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Parnell, thanks for the positive feedback
Hey guys, thank you so much for the great content, I'm about to binge watch your channel, haha
54uk have 31-year-old filipina gf LDR, who is the most amazing woman.
I'm visiting Ph. In July for 3 weeks and intend to put a ring on it. Had a 7-month LDR before, but something didn't make me feel she was forever. We have so many plans for my early retirement and move to Ph.
So much of what you post resonates with my own experience
Keep up the great work, guys. It's a wealth of great info for people like me. Thank you.
Best of luck!
I really like this show.
Thanks so much, Allen
relationship vulnerability is a factor of any couple's alliance, but challenges are the catalyst that make you stronger
Well, said Albert so profound thanks for watching our video and as always for putting your friendship forward
Albert, are you a scuba diver? Your comments are so deep.
Yes
Chrissie is very easy on the eye 👍
❤️👍🙏
Funny....I grew up in Florida. We never had AC in our house. It was not until long after I left home that AC was installed. I think my parents waited until we were all gone on purpose. 😅😅😅
My parents moved when I went away to college when I came home on vacation. I was shocked that all new furniture.
I live in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida - no AC - no FL.
We will be doing a trip to CDO and Malaybalay in a few weeks. What are some of these nice communities uphill that have a higher elevation near CDO?
Most of the gated subdivisions in the uptown area have higher elevations, not all will get a breeze, but you can find homes on top of hills inside many of the subdivisions that will get a nice breeze. You can look in Xavier Estates Pueblo de oro, Fresno, Gran Europa, Bloomfields, and a few others if you email me at fly me to the philippines@gmail.com. I can forward Alma’s number if you want a realtor to look for a one-year lease or longer.
ROFL great video.
Glad you enjoyed it I had to look up that rolling on the floor acronym.
Shorts (videos) are great. Most of what can be said, humorous or otherwise, can usually be said in a minute. Long form are usually 90% padding. It does however get view time so for You-tubers it is important.
Well said!
Lived in CDO 13 months with my fiancée great place to live! Came back to states to work as our k-1 visa is being processed. Enjoy your videos 👍
Thanks👍
In order for your lovely wife, to get social security survivor benefits, she must have 5 years of US residency, absent some very rare exceptions. Please consider that in your planning for the future.
Good suggestion 💯👌
SS Survivor Benefit is one thing that no other investment provides.
Yes, it is something we look into down the road
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines another idea to consider is presuming marriage is for your stepchild to become a us citizen thereby getting you an increased benefit while you are-alive and child is under 18 or 22 with college. Your wife, i think, could get that child benefit as the caretaker, if you passed before the child was 22. I got a little obsessed on this topic trying to help a widowed Filipina with 3 young kids get the survivor benefit. Not successful due to the 5 year residency rule.
@@tg213 thanks
Thank you for the great video. Would listen to most things if Chrissy is in it.😁
You and me both!
If you are not into tying a girl up and blindfolding her, you are throwing away an exciting thing that she can experience beyond what most men offer. It is not about hurting her. It is about anticipation. About excitement. If she feels safe with you, then as long as it doesn't hurt, she should be willing. And vice versa.
🤔
My Filipina has karaoke in her store and when the rum comes out we all sing, good times. Our relationship is 50/50
Thanks for watching bill
She beyond beautiful!!
Yes, she’s fantastic
Beautiful couple
Thank you so much, Dennis for the kind words
You got yourself a dominant Filipina
🤔
Wow I love eggplant and i plan on planting some this year can Chrissy share a recipe of how she makes them?
We include them in Thai curry
Also chrissy makes “Tortang talong” look it up
New to this channel, but like the solid content.
Things are often different between he culture, with regard to being "wild in the bedroom." My provincial wife does get tired up, and lots more. She would have been happy with "the basics" as others have said, but she has embraced her kinkier side, thanks to my desires, and our intimacy is wonderful. As to dominant or submissive (outside of the bedroom) I don't think of myself as "dominant", but as leading and assertive. I certainly respect my wife's opinion and encourage her to voice it. As for retirement there, I have too many health issues that require regular maintenance to live over there long-term. I can understand why it is an option for some.
Allen, thanks for watching our channel and that comment was a great share
It’s noisy here in Thailand but I live in a small home community it’s only 30 homes here it’s ok but the road is close and loud motorbikes sometimes.
Thanks for sharing that comment Roy
Wow. A fellow Keto man - so unexpected. My biggest fear of visiting the Philippines is maintaining my 3 year ongoing Keto diet. You've assuaged that fear - at least to some degree.
John, feel free to email me if you want more information
Rob and Chrissy great video you're both really improving infront of the camera.
With dominant and submissive thing, why are there only two options? 😁
Me and my fiancé we talk about everything. In planning and other areas I take the lead, with the travel and organisation in the Philippines my Filipina does it. For us there's no labal, only togetherness.
Matt, thank you for the positive feedback and for sharing your own circumstances
Another great video in terms of useful information and entertaining interaction. No big surprises in expectations, but useful for me who is also doing Keto and working towards metabolic flexibility. (By the way... Koreans are also now getting fat and increasingly suffering from diabetes.) I welcome more expectations videos!
Thanks for your continued support dragon. Nice to see a thoughtful comment again.
You are just going to butter me up, what do you want? Classic!
Nice to see you back commenting on one of our videos you were one of our first subscribers to comment
You are a very fortunate fellow to be with such a beautiful, intelligent and articulate woman. However, I think you interrupt her too much. Let her finish a comment before you interject another thought. She is very patient with you.
Thanks for the kind words and the feedback
You can sing the song “Far Far Away’ The farther the better!Lol
🤔
I've been here in the Philippines for 2 months now, the noise and/or roosters aren't a problem, I've raised 5 kids everything is just back ground noise for me!
Bless you
I really appreciate your videos…especially these Q & A ones. You are a beautiful couple🇵🇭🙏🏼🇺🇸
Jum Thank you so much!
I enjoyed your homemade curry. excellent
Thank you so much 🙂
About cooking and chubby Filipinos: My in-laws asked if I knew how to cook. I assured them I could. They said good because Lyn can't! After over 12 years now she has become a very good cook, although she did ask me to cook once for a big Filipino party. I did the pork ribs, lasagna, etc. Turned out it was my birthday party including my family from out of state! Lyn and our 100% Filipino son eat 3X what I eat! She is still about 5'7" and 110 pounds and hardly varies an ounce. The puny little boy that came over with his mom is almost 6 feet now and built like a rock! BTW, Lyn is from Davao and her brother is fairly tall and fit and looks like he could have been cast in Dances With Wolves. Lord I wish I had their hair!
Thanks, Stephen for watching our video and writing such a great comment and sharing all
You 2 look good together.
🙏❤️
I am Canadian my wife was Filipina we were married for 24 years till she passed away and I can tell you she was not that submissive lol I'd like to think we had a give-and-take partnership 50/50 which was perfect as yours seems to be.
You look perfect together all the best of luck to both of you! ❤️
Thanks for watching our video and taking the time to share. Sorry to hear about your loss. Thank you for the positive feedback.
I have always found it very strange that many Western men describe wanting to find a "Traditional" province girl, and very often in the next sentence mention expecting a wife to be submissive. I can only speak from my own experiences with my wife and other Flipinas I have met, but submissive isn't a quality I would use to describe them, traditional, yes, at least in the sense that many Western men interpret it. While a Filipina may have the man take the lead in public, behind the scenes it is a full partnership. I liked the word, Rob and Chrissy used, "Copilot." Jerry, it sounds like you were lucky enough to have something similar with your wife. It reads like you have many wonderful memories with your wife to cherish.
@@Learning.Naturally Paul, we feel so privileged to have you commenting and replying on our messages and those of our other subscribers thank you sincerely thank you
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines Sorry if I respond too much. You and Chrissy have created a more positive place to watch and gather and dialogue than most VLoggers do. I appreciate that as I try to learn more to understand my own sweet wife and prepare for our move to the Philippines early next year. Hopefully, some of my own experiences can add something.
@@Learning.Naturally NEVER TOO MUCH. - please 🙏 continue. We love it.
Great video guys. You are a very lucky man Rob . If Chrissey has a sister who likes British guys, let me know. 😁🇬🇧
Stay tuned, John
Nice channel, I’ve live in Thailand 5 years and thinking about transitioning there after my first trip this year. Had a lot of memories of my Philippine grandmother in the states.Grew up in L.A. but hate the big cities. Looking for a nice places to visit close to services but but smaller like Chiang Mai. Any suggestions?
I like Chiang Mai, perhaps Roxas, Dipolog, or Butuan? Email me at flymetothephilippines @gmail for consulting rates
I learn so much from you two. I will be moving over there soon. I have a girlfriend that is a midwife in Manila but she is from Davaro and her family has farms in Cagon de Oro by you guys. I hope we can meet some day.
Thanks for watching Andrew and for the kind words and feedback. Email me if you ever need any help regarding Cagayan de Oro or the Philippines in general.
I wonder if my Filipina had any of these expectations of me 🤔
Thanks for watching Cory and taking time to comment
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines you’re welcome, I watch and appreciate many of your videos. Thank you for creating them.
Sweetie 🙉🤣
Very nice couple, you guys look so happy. Makes me want to try to find a nice Filipino girl
Thanks, Mayner we hope. Hope you much success.
I think the word you are looking for is domineering not dominant.
Yes, domineering has a very negative connotation perhaps
Always great to watch you two interacting and feeling the love from your Filipina. Very interesting subjects. Is this the back porch to your house where you are filming? I think I need the full house tour. Rob are you going to buy a house at some point? My dream is to have a mountain house and a beach house near surfing 🏄…Living the life I want! I better start making some coin in the stock market if I’m going to be able to get there in less than 10 years…57 now…
Hi Eric, hope you’re doing well. Feel free to schedule a call if you want to talk. We did a house tour but people want to see a more detailed house tour so we’re thinking of it.
Filipinos seem to communicate their affections to their loved ones through singing Videoke.
They are a joyous people
One thing to understand about Filipinas... they are partly Latina. This was a Spanish colony for a long time. They aren't submissive, trust me!!! But, at least with my wife, she is a GREAT co-pilot.
My original intention was to live in the Philippines with my wife. But, things happened in the US that forced me to come back here, and I gave my wife a choice. She didn't want to live a long time without me while I took care of things in the US, so she came here with me. We've been married almost 6 years, after being together 2 1/2 years in the Philippines. My wife and I have had a lot of similar expectations and found similar realities.
They were there a long time before the Spanish came but that would be an interesting subject to delve into the history of the indigenous Filipino.
Well, thanks for watching our video and taking time to share your story. It’s really interesting. I’d like to hear more about it in terms of how your wife adapted and how it went for you.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines My wife adjusted well. The biggest problem for me was that she didn't want to be a homemaker, she wanted to work and make her own money. She's very smart, but she had to work to support her family in the Philippines even though she's the youngest of 6, because she's the smartest. She started a business for her family that is still their income today. Anyway, in the US, Amazon will hire anyone. She got hired easily, now she's a manager (5 years later). She loves it here. Like me, she's more of a loner and doesn't like to go out a lot or party or anything. Neither of us drinks or smokes. She has a group of friends, mostly Filipino, that she occasionally hangs out with. To be honest, not much really changed between living in the Philippines and living in the US. We have to drive more, so she got her driver's license. We both work, spend a lot of time together when we are off, and travel a lot.
Like I said, we spent quite a bit of time living together in the Philippines, so we knew each other. Nothing much really changed, except we both work now and we have less time together. So we enjoy our time together more here in the US.
@@user-bf5fi4ss2q My wife's last name was Canatoy. Her family had Spanish descent for certain. Most of her friends also have Spanish names. Not all, obviously, have Latina in them. But enough. And she 100% has the attitude, hahaha. We lived in Baguio for over a year, and I think, in that area, they are less likely to have Spanish descent.
@@Murph_. They all have Spanish names and lots of towns and cities in the Philippines are named after Spanish places but they don't speak Spanish.
Hi Rob & Chrissey, have enjoyed your experiance in CdeO to date. One thing I must however mention regarding a relationship is God forbid should anything happen that leaves Chrissey on her own. My own wife of 40 plus years continued her career as a graduate of Xavier University up until I retired in 2008 and we moved to the Philippines. As a result of her working she was able to contribute to the pension chest although I always had good jobs and salaries myself. Consequently she on retiral has the UK state pension and a pension from her employer in her own right. As my wife used to remind me whats the point of an education if you don'r use it. She said her brain would turn to Tinola through lack of use. There is 11 years between my Asawa and myself and during my 40 plus years of association between myself and the Philippines I can honestly say I have seen it done it and wear the Tee Shirt and I would not change a bit except have come to the Philippines a little earlier in my life lol !!!. Best wishes to you both.
Thanks for sharing that

You are one lucky man!
You can say that again, Danny
You are a lucky man Rob.!! 😁👍
You are absolutely correct thanks for watching our video and making time to comment
The only downside I've found with Asian women is jealousy. Currently I have a Chinese girlfriend in Shanghai, whom I'm about to marry. We have a fabulous relationship and get on extraordinarily well, with one exception.....jealousy. She doesn't seem to understand that i have a lot of friends and colleagues, many of whom just happen to be female. I'm hoping that as time passes she'll become more relaxed and less jealous of female friends and colleagues whom I've known for many years, before I met my girlfriend.
Thanks for watching our video and taking the time to comment. I wish you the best as we work through this issue together.
A man can’t be friends with women, there’s never a good ending in the end….
@@cbsguy6363 there’s a bit of truth to that
Come on now you can't have female friends and not expect your spouse to get jealous.
Whatever flaws the US has, good customer service is not one of them. We have the best customer service in the world. If Chrissy buys a dress in any store in the US and decides she wants to return it and get her money back within 30 days, they will always take it back and not ask any questions. Any Americans living abroad have to accept how spoiled we are here and it's not going to be like that anywhere else.
Very true
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines Can you spell the name of the region you are living in? Also, in your Q's next time comment on building codes and quality of construction there.
@@yaimavol Cagayan de Oro on Mindanao Philippines. Quality hit and miss. Thanks for the suggestion.

Awe you two hold back too much. You can go deeper into these topics with precise language w/o cringe or crudeness.
Thanks for the advice and feedback
The same thing here in Thailand rice diabetes and to much sugar and fast food . Global food companies
Roy it’s all that factory food and advertising
My finpno girlfriend taught me how to speak her parents language it took me 6 months to learn it
🙏👍
Is Chrissy happy living in the Philippines , or does she want to live in America
We have a five-year-old son that cannot leave the Philippines so living here has great advantages in addition to being close to her family
How old is Chrissy?
Just turned 31
How did you end up in C D O? I live in cebu. Great video . I think you have one of the better you tube channels.
Another Vlogger made a video top five places to live in the Philippines and Cdo was number one that year since then he’s changed his top five and Chrissy‘s family lives five hours south in a part of the Philippines, not for Expats to reside
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines. Yes. I know the area. My wife and her family live in an area of Midsayap. Very close to an area as you mentioned. We accidentally drove through an area on our way back home from vacation in Gensan.

hi, I just found your channel and like your style. I'm coming to Cebu in Sept for my 1st trip to Philippines. I plan to say in IT Park area, renting an apt to myself. I want to do some exploring and get some great photos. Any suggestions on things to do? How far is your area from Cebu? I've not heard of your town before.
We are in CDO a short inexpensive flight or you can take an overnight ferry from Cebu. Do you want to check out my video the 30 day exploration? It talks about coming to Cebu City for 30 days single solo traveling and offers three different budgets you can look at KLOK excursions it’s an app, also you can go to Bol swim with the whale sharks 4 Hour Dr. south of Cebu City. Lots to do feel free to email me at fly me to the philippines@gmail.com for personalized Consultation.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines Thanks for the reply, I'm really enjoying your channel. I think I am a little different to a lot of expats in that I know I'll have no problem approaching beautiful gals over there and how to talk to them with ease.
My hope is that I can find a nice place to potentially retire. I really want to retire near the water, but absolutely love the views from your mountain home.
I think I saw your 90 day video but not certain I've seen the 30 day one yet.
@@MikeMcIntyreintechrity let me know if I can help in anyway
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines Thank you, when it gets closer to the dates I may take you up on it. I'm coming for 3 weeks but if a few things fall positively here, I might double that stay!
You give a lot of great advice on here, I just saw your 7-10 day video, that one I need to watch again.
@@MikeMcIntyreintechrity 🙏❤️👍
My biggest wonder is about clean drinking water, and what do you do all day? With you retired and her not working what do you do? I have a hard time envisioning how we would spend our days and what she in particular would do for personal and educational growth.
Everybody drinks bottled water here we get 5 gallons or 20 L delivered for $.50 they come into our house they pick up the bottles they deliver it and we have a dispenser which is bottom loading so everything‘s very easy we have eight bottles
My concern as well, including food borne illness due to poor regulation/sanitation if you eat out frequently. Many Expat vloggers talk about it taking a few months to "adjust" to the food. My feeling is, they're really adjusting to the bugs in the food, i.e., viruses/parasites/bacteria, etc. Not fun, especially if you're not in the best of heath to begin with.
@@johncarlson6472 Jon knock on wood. I haven’t had food poisoning in over a year in the Philippines however, I do not eat the street food in the Philippines in Thailand. I’ll eat the street food and in China. I’ll eat the street food, but I avoided here because it sits out unrefrigerated, bacterial pneumonia is another problem. I got my first month here and a lot of of Expats get it from bad air conditioners.
It seems to me Filipinas want a man who "leads" but not in a tyrant/slave dynamic, but rather, a Captain/First Officer relationship. Here in the States, women will say they want a man to lead, but then wrestle him for Captaincy, which destroys the relationship. Just my .02.
Thanks, John for your two cents I tend to agree with it
I can deal with everything but jealousy, it just ruins everything to me. I had one jealous girlfriend and as beautiful as she was I just couldn't deal with it.
Working through it. 🤞
Money changes her expectations.
Such a devilish comment
What general area do you guys live?
10 km south of downtown Cagayan de Oro an area called uptown
I think domineering instead of dominant is more like what she was describing foreigners as... that they would be domineering in and out of relationships...
Yes I think so
If there is one area that would make me fit like a glove in the Philippines, it's karaoke. I used to sing karaoke every weekend here in the US and was always well received by the crowd. That reception probably had a lot to do with why I did it every weekend. 😂
The only thing holding be back from coming is my cat (I'm sure some guys have deducted all the points from my Man Card because of that statement! 😅) Not only would the plane ride be a nightmare for her, but I would feel terrible moving her out of a 3300 sq ft home to a 1-bedroom apartment. And giving her away would be VERY hard. She's my pal. But I'll figure something out...
We had a feral cat when we moved we tried to bring her with us, but she got away. I’ve always had a pet in the west and enjoy the cats here in the Philippines. This is the first time we haven’t had a pet, but we’re surviving.
cats can actually do quite well on a plane. Your vet would have good advice. I don't think a cat needs a 3,300 sf home to be happy, probably just you, a decent A/C system and some interesting spots. you don't have to just plant yourself in a tiny one-bedroom apartment, there are a myriad of options in the Philippines and they are far more affordable. Plus your singing would be very appreciated I'm sure.
@@Learning.Naturally Thanks for the reply. 🙂👍
When she smiles as the tropical wind blows through her hair, if he's talking I don't hear a word that he says! In fact, I think I'll just mute the whole thing but continue to watch. 😇

At 0:10, what a beautiful lady, what a beautiful view... I'm wondering, is an American citizen still not allowed to own property in the PH ? Just like most Asian countries, non citizens are not allowed to own land or homes... Also, do cell phones from the United States work in the Philippines ? or would I need to buy one there...
No land ownership, some international plans work but expensive, better to buy sim here
