    When you said “is ego getting in the way” I got chills. Exactly my thoughts for you. You’re in so deep with dreams, and I knew when reality eventually kicked in, you’d be absolutely like…what in tarnation did I do to myself…my neighbor is from Cebu and chooses Maine over PH everyday.

      @MegMehann931 there are alot of phrases one can use. "Making the best of the situation" , " when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" or a million others. Lol 😆 reality is it's been six years, none of these thoughts are new. I'm always wondering. Biggest thing for me, is make sure I keep pushing forward and my head doesn't start looking like a basketball shape from sitting around being comfortable back home or in some province with all my needs met and get lazy. Ego is real issue, we all have yo battle it, mine might be a bit bigger than some, or maybe not. But ego does push me and helps me to keep moving forward. I've seen countless people choose easy peezy and that never has been appealing to me. Never will. Granted a little less crazy 🤪 is good. Happy new year! Jay

    I guess its great you expose your daughter to the 2 sides of the world early. Just present her with the opportunituea. She'll decide herself once she grows up.
    Just provide for her future and she is good to start on her own.

    I think as humans, that’s what keeps us from feeling true happiness because we are all focused or worried about what we did in the past and what we will do in the future that we take for granted the NOW. We are always wondering, questioning and overplanning for a future we are not guaranteed to have. 🙏

    Hey brother Jay! I'm sure you would like to settle into a normal routine there and would be much easier just to stay in Dumaguete. However, it is all about the family and making sure your wife and daughter get to experience Christmas with family and friends.

    That’s the dilemma of FilAm families too on how to merge these two cultures on their kids.
    Here how it went with me, the first 15 yrs in the Philippines for friends and relatives connection. I went to US and stayed 45 yrs. I have both and it will happen to our kids too.

    Jay, Happy New Year to you and your whole family US&PH! I like to see, hear your daughter speak filipino and her mother's native tongue also. For this is when children's mental acuity in absorbing languages is most prime. Peace be with you and Your family.

      That's a big part of my thinking and planning. So many "almost ready for the Philippines." I wanted to meet and learn and show it all before we are officially here full-time. Seems as though many of us have a long life left to enjoy this place when the time is ready. Be safe, and I hope to talk more. Jay

    Don't feel bad. Since I moved to the Philippines FULL TIME over 10 years ago. My New Philippines family over the past 20 years of our relationship and marriage have been a blessing. They are very loving, helpful and always contact us regarding our needs and if we need anything.
    But I *Never* hear from my USA family of 3 daughters and a Son, numerous cousins, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews. But I bet If I won php500 Million in the Philippines Lottery I would get texts, friend requests, phone calls and personal visits. 😅 STAY HERE. Your choice to stay in the Philippines is the best idea.

    • @jaysphilippines
      @jaysphilippines  7 дней назад +2

      @PhilippinesFarmLife I agree, I may do a fake lottery win just to see what happens. Lol I got some grandkids I want to get involved here and a son who i think can fit in here with all of us. I would really enjoy Philippines with them all here. Be way more fun. We always have KY back home, but am seriously determined to make Phil's feel like home. Happy New year!! Jay

    • @PhilippinesFarmLife

      ​@@jaysphilippinesThe fake lottery win was an idea of mine too. Just get one of those 4 ft tarpaulins printed to look like a lottery check and have a third party inform your USA contacts. Don't be surprised if your email box gets jammed and old USA contacts show up at your house here🤪🤣
