    Trivia: During World War II, the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, the town was the guerilla fighter movement’s headquarters.
    Hello, all!
    I just want you to know that I read all your comments.
    Thank you for supporting this channel. I apologized for the grainy content today,
    Special thanks to the sponsor for making this adventure happen.
    Have a great weekend, everyone!

      All good Shay...Grainy is the way I view the world always...Sometimes (most times?) things are not so clear, and it requires us to use our critical thinking skills to discern what is the reality versus what others tell us/want us to believe...More travels to mountains and remote locations (solitude) will help in that endeavor IMO...Such trips help us break away from the group speak/think...You're on the right track, love that for you... Yah Bless 🙏 👍😎👍

    Fun with family and friends, despite the rain. You're a wonderful writer, narrator and videographer. I love the style of your work. Your selection of music compliments your storytelling and it all comes together in a beautiful composition. (I now have two favorites from your video library) Well done Ms. Shay! Well done. Thanks for sharing the adventure. Thank you, Mr. Bacon for making their trip possible.

    Hi Shay, love the video, nice.
    Just like you said and I believe too, it's the memories we all make and have is what's life's about.
    Just lost my mother, passing peacefully away Saturday evening @ the age of 81.
    Time spent with family before and after loss always brings special momeries.
    Regards to you children and all your family and friends.
    Cheers 😉

    The past couple of years, I have transitioned to a more minimalist lifestyle. There has been so much regret as I have made countless trips to the dump to throw away so much that had lost it’s magic. For several days, I spent time with orphans in a Thai refugee camp. I slept under mosquito nets in a bamboo hut and it was certainly outside my comfort zone but it transformed my worldview; 1. people, not things are what matter and 2. I have so much…give to help those in need.

      @@reflections_with_Shay Good for you…I genuinely have a strong distaste for possessions beyond necessities…I constantly think…how can I get rid this, sell that, give this away. A cluttered life, clutters the mind and creates stress. Best wishes on your minimalist journey. WARNING: My quest has been met with resistance from family and friends

      I actually see how much of the Western Mentality is brought to the Philippines, the "Keeping Up with the Jones" mentality, who has the best house, car, location etc etc and how trapped they are by Western consumerism. Must be seen in Starbucks mentality.
      In Thailand I always try to stay in family houses when I see "Room for Rent" sign and have had amazing times sitting around with the family, they are amazing people, salt of the Earth.
      I intend to do the same in Philippines, meet the people, learn their culture and see many beautiful places, flora and fauna!
      I do that wherever I go, be it France, Italy, Spain, Australia or wherever....am a Traveler not a Tourist.
