Same to you!

Hello... thank you so much for subscribing. So glad to have your comment today. Many years ago I've watched a TV program in Japan how the New Zealand people takes care of their home gardens. Beautiful gardens.

Thank you so much! Comments like yours inspire me on this video-making journey. Thanks a lot.

I thought I had to watch the film which I did. I love the architecture, insects, animals and the calming sounds of this film. Mui is so pretty. That 25 kilos of rice. Those clay pots. I have that Vietnamese traditional dress myself called Ao Dai. beautiful film. Thank you so much.

@@livingwithgraceinjapan Yes, the serenity of the film, the colours, the shape of the objects - every bit of it is real life, but presented as art. It has been a long time since I have seen it - maybe it is time for a revisit? So glad you enjoyed it.

Hello, Joenell, I'm glad that you liked the chicken tinola and even wanting to try cooking it. It is a simple dish in the Philippines. When I was a little, we used to cook it using native chicken, which means, chickens from our yard. So it is more delicious than the chickens we have now. Anyway, yes. My husband and I tried 18 months retiring in the Philippines. It was a traumatic months for us. We were robbed, a thief got inside the house pretending a good person. Told us that our car parked outside was somehow scratched so my husband went to check and when I was in the kitchen, my bag where our bank cards, passport and mobile phones, and money were gone with the robber. We just arrived from the bank at that time and withdrawn an amount of cash for our daily expenses. Police Officers in the Philippines are not as effective as the law enforcers in Japan or I'm definitely sure, in the US. That's only one of the many scarest things I can remember. I could feel danger almost everyday in the Philippines. That's a long reply.... Joenell, thank you so much.

@livingwithgraceinjapan Oh my God! What a traumatic experience you've both been through. I can only imagine how that incident must have left you both feeling extremely upset and vulnerable. I am so very sorry to hear that such a cruel thing happened to you. You have amazing strength, Grace, to get past such an ordeal and move forward to making a better life for you and your husband in Japan. And I hope and pray thar it stays that way for you both. Truly appreciate you taking the time to respond back to me. I am so happy to hear from you and wish you both well in life and health 🌱😊❤️🙏🏽

西脇様、チャンネルのフォローありがとうございます。奥様にも感謝を申し上げます。このチャンネルを作った目的は最初、フィリピンでの移住を投稿するためでした。いろんな事情がありまして、その目的が実現出来なくなりました。日本に戻って今の生活です。引き続きよろしくお願いいたします。コメントありがとうございます。

So true! Pearl, thank you so much for watching. Take care.

Hello, Christina. I'll share it in a "refine" way because it will somehow trigger sensitive issues of the government system and a lot of greedy businesses and individuals in that country. But I always feel the need to share my experiences to help fellow Filipino nationals wanting and longing to retire in the country where we were from. Thank you for your comment.

Hello, Iha. Thank you for clicking and watching. I'm glad you did. Best of luck in Japan, Dijeii.

Hello, Rakel. Of course, I remember your name and a good friend, Len. Thank you for your comment and visiting the channel. I hope you're well.

Walang amoy kasi walang asin na nilalagay para i-dry.

Thank you so much!

Thank you as always, Chacha. Have a nice weekend.

Thank you, Lilian. Have a great weekend in the US.

Hello, Marie. Saving or living in a frugal way is a must for us. When we moved here, I spend less and less because I do not have to drive my car often which is good because the price of gas is unbelievable. Expensive. And I wonder why our electricity, water and gas for heater and gas range bills are almost half than the amount we had at our previous apartment. It is lower here. Thank you, Marie. Have a great weekend in France. Take care.

Thank you for watching, Fe. Thank you for subscribing.

Hello there. I can count the number of the plants in the yard so it's quite easy to prepare for the cold winter but what I am doing now is to collect the seeds of marigold, xinias for next year. I am not going to buy those from the nursery. I'll grow what I can grow from the seeds I collected this year. Thank you... I'm planning to make a video about packing of the collected seeds.

@@livingwithgraceinjapan I'm looking forward to watching and learning from you. I look forward to your video! 🌺💐🌾🪴🎋🌹🪴🪻💐

Many thanks! Thank you for visiting and watching, Jacqueline.

So nice of you, Pauline. Glad to see your comment.

Thank you so much.

Dear Francine, glad to see your comment. Yes, green papaya is rare to find but for the past months, I noticed that there are sprouting papayas in the market produced by Japanese farmers elsewhere. I preferred ripe ones though. Thank you as always, Francine. You're in my thoughts. - Grace

Thank you, Mai. Check Komeri or Kanseki for bokashi pellet. Or pwede mong gamitin ang 米ぬか rice bran. Salamat sa panonood. Nice to meet you, Mai san.

@@livingwithgraceinjapan thank you Grace! nice to meet you too mas matanda ako sa yo ng two years🙂

Thank you so much for watching. I knew and feel that there are viewers supporting this channel in silence. I appreciate that so much.

Awesome. Please let me know how did it go. Thank you for watching till the end of the video.

Sad, No - Lonely, Yes. I'm overcoming that right now and succeeding so far. I sleep and rest well, too. Doing these things is what makes me at peace and find joy.

@@livingwithgraceinjapan yes I try to find happiness in the little things too. Sometimes it’s hard. It is not easy to be a caregiver. Thank you for your videos.

@@CMSCK , whenever I feel isolated and tired, I go out the garden or kitchen and do whatever I can to relieve that feeling. Taking care of these plants makes me feel that everything in this world is worth taking care of. Taking care of humans is difficult because they have feelings which is conflicting sometimes. Thank you for asking that question.

Thank you so much. Your comment inspired me, too. Have a great weekend.

Thank you so much. Have a nice weekend. We're having one.

Mukhang may similarities ang sitwasyon natin, Sis. May issue ang mga paningin ni husband kaya mahirap talaga. Thank you for watching ng video about "talking to my avocado plant". Gardening ay hobby ko na eversince. Ang mga plants ay di ako binibigo. Thank you also sa pag share mo about your husband.

@@livingwithgraceinjapan sorry for that sis, kala ko sa pag lakad lng yong promblem nya be strong lng malalampasan mo dn yan Wala naman si God na bibigay sa atın pag subok na hindi natin kaya be strong lng tayo enjoy nlng natin mga ginagawa natin 😊

@@cathy-enjoylife4351 , I'm fine, Cathy. Thank you. May mga viewers nga na nagtataka why I help my husband wear his pants. May problema siya sa balance ng upper body niya. May tendency na bumaligtad siya and that happened many times already. May iniinom siyang gamot na pag nasugatan at may dugo, delikado. I'm OK, Cath. Thank you so much. Nice meeting you.

Thanks for visiting.

You are so welcome!

Salamat sa pag subscribe at sana magkaroon ka ng time ulit na panoorin ang iba pang mga videos. Maraming salamat.

That was a very short clip because that was only for my frustrated feeling during our 9-day short visit which is likely the last. I just had to share the calming feeling garden to soften up. Thank you for watching.

Hello, good morning from Japan. That is also my favorite piece from Japanese brand Uniqlo designed by Ines de la Fressange a French designer. Thank you so much for watching.

Hello Raymonde, unfortunatelly, as of this moment there are no flowers that he can enjoy except walking in the garden safely because I layed faux grass on the ground. He did his walking with his stick and he feels safe. Thank you.... we are glad that Autumn has finally come to our place.

The plant mounted is called Staghorn Ferns. In Japanese, we call it here Koumori Ran. Thanks for watching! The pleasure is mine! I will check the song you mentioned. I listened to it now..beautiful music.

Thanks for visiting 😀

I'm glad you liked my chosen music. And nice meeting you here. Japan offers excellent lifestyle for everyone. Safe, clean and peaceful. Thank you and have a good day ahead.

Hello, Sonia. Thank you so much for checking other video as it will make things easier to understand about this channel. I will continue making videos for the sake of "speaking" not "talking". I'm glad you find this channel. Thank you so much...

Thank you for watching.

Oh thank you! I'm sure you're into plants and gardens, too.

Thank you for watching. Take care.

Hello and thank you for watching and subscribing on this channel. I made this channel many years ago to save our travel videos. I did not even have the intention to show them in public. But I changed my plan since 2021- during the peak of pandemic and started filming seriously- my husband got ill and I was struggling mentally because of several factors. Financially, we are stable. Mentally, I was struggling. Please watch my future videos ( not for desire to gain views ) but please... share me your thoughts about our situation. I'm 59, I know I'm not that old, but seeing and experiencing things burdened by responsibilities is making me very old. Thank you, Ma'am, for coming and watching.

@@livingwithgraceinjapan - you’re most welcome. I was intrigued by the cost of living in Japan. Vancouver is one of the most expensive cities in Canada. $15 nowadays will get you nowhere, maybe a burger, fries and a drink or a loaf of bread, butter, and a liter of milk. 50 years ago was well worth it. I am amazed with Japan, maybe one day we’ll be able to return and re-visit Japan. Nice to hear from you and all the best to you and your hubby! Regards, Sonia

@@antson49 , thank you, Sonia for sharing me your name. Glad to meet you! Thank you so so much!

Thanks for watching.... thanks.

Hello, Joenell: My husband and I are doing well here as of this moment. Feeling relieved that Autumn has finally here, thus, heatwave of the Summer ends. Thank you for your comment. I hope you are doing well, my Friend, so with your family. The serenditiy of meeting friends through a channel of a "woman" trying to share how life goes on after retirement. I'm writing this comment while listening to the background music of this video- and that is making me very calm. Have a great weekend. Take care, Joenell... - Grace

@livingwithgraceinjapan My family and I are doing well. Thank you I hope that the weather will cool off enough for you and your husband to enjoy the park walks soon. Thanks for responding back , Grace. Please stay well😍🙏🏽

Thank you for subbing, Horikawa san.

So nice of you
