Thank you brother,working hard

Hello palangga

If you are asking did it if the problem ? Yes it did.

Hello sir it’s me Riza thank you so much 🙏for watching our videos we appreciated so much,it’s definitely unique experience being here in America and I can definitely see why you made the decision you made.Luckily for me I live in Hong Kong for many years and Dubai before coming to America so I had some experience living outside of the Philippines. My husband tells me all the time he does not wants me to be Americanized while living here in the states. Hopefully within two years i will be returning to the Philippines with my husband in God’s will.

@@RizandMe Such a beautiful statement. Phillipines culture is amazing and beautiful, when 70% of the people are poor .

@@user-ge7rc4od9m hopefully sir all Americans hearts like you ❤️

@@user-ge7rc4od9m for me to have simple life is amazing, but I think some people don’t understand me sometimes

Oh wow thanks for the comment. I think that would be a little bit big for my yard though, but would love to try one out.

lol it’s him I’m all ears what tips you got ?

@@RizandMe First the only diamonds or gold my wife wants is her wedding ring, she in truth pretty much views expensive jewelry the same as costume jewelry and she thinks there is a better use for the money.. My Filipina loves thrift stores, they love being frugal....I can';t sing but I learned the words to the Frankie Vali song 'You're just too good to be true". if you do this for her be sure to keep your cell phone in one hand to call 911 so the FD can help break the grip of the hug you will get. Another thing they love you to be spontaneous, if you are driving down the road and pass a flower shop, stop in and get her flowers once in a while also working in the yard, pick a flower and put in her hair the stem over her ear to help hold it there and tell her a beautiful flower for my beautiful wife, again you might need the cell phone for that 911 call. This should be enough for now

@oldgeezer3324 wow great advice and your right it’s so true the way they are lol but I’m going to put all that into my plan thank you 😊

@@RizandMe I hope it helps in some way to make life better

Thank you 😊

Thank you sir ❤️

You only live once right 😉

Thanks for the comment and oh yes it’s a lot of work

@@RizandMe I know, I have 1/2 acre takes me close to 3 hrs triming and cutting by myself with a push mower...lol.

@racerx428 yea no thanks for all pushing I’m just glad Riza likes to mow

@@RizandMe I look at it as exercise for well being. Maybe in a few yrs i'll get a ride on mower. But for now its a push mower for me... lol.

Oh my god yes yes yes lol I know exactly what you mean 👍

Wow our situation has been so very similar, thanks for sharing. And I know exactly what you mean on the dumbfounded.

@@RizandMe 😂😂😂

I have been there many times over the years. We live near Eden and that’s near Martinsville And Danville va

@@RizandMe I use to work out at a Marina, I was a Mercury mechanic on Radio Island I mostly sand bar between Morehead City and Beaufort. Worked with some guys from Harkers Island. Loved their Down East hard crab stew with corn dumplings😋👍

Hello it’s me Riza yes sir I am from Tagum city wow General santos shout out was my very favorite place to go saranggani province was a beautiful beaches ,amazing you married a beautiful Filipina from cebu city are yall here in USA sir ?Thank you so much for watching our videos and sharing your comments 🙏

@@RizandMe Yes Riza. I moved to the Philippines in 2014 where I lived in San Jose del Monte for a few months up in Bulacan when I first moved there, then I moved down to General Santos City for about 6 months. When I left there I moved up around the city of Dumaguette where I settled in and mostly around that town in smaller communities around that area of southern Negros Island ,and traveled a lot back and forth to Cebu City where my wife's family lived ,and she taught school at the Little Bamboo Foundation for the very poor children there. I moved back to the states in 2018 due to medical issues and 6 months later I got her over here on a tourist visa so that she could help me rehab and we had every intention of going back, but the doctors had other plans and said my globe trotting days were over. So we put in for a change of status for her visa and got it changed to a immigration visa. She got her citizenship last August last year. Now working on her dual citizenship. We live down on the Mississippi gulf coast close to military bases and veterans hospitals for medical and base shopping now.

Oh wow ,thank you sir for sharing your adventures in Philippines I’m very proud of y’all,We hope to start traveling the next year .Im looking looking forward to going to the Philippines it’s been 5 years I never been home and see my son,I can’t see them because I can’t leave the country waiting for my paperwork work nice to know you here guys we have more videos and I am really showing to them how simple Filipina living is and the life we have there and happy hope that we will hear you more from Catie sir God bless y’all

It’s amazing all the similarities between us isn’t it.

Thank you so much for your comment 😊

lol I’m not there just yet no heads please 🙏🏻. Thanks so much for watching and your great comment.

This is so true and it’s nice to know it’s not just me. Thanks for sharing your experience. I have had to try and take a step back and realize that English is not her first language and you’re right it was easy to get offended lol.

Yay hehhehe

I miss to eat rice morning lunch dinner lol here in America only or maybe ones a month lol

I agree with that I do the same. I have mine set on one setting and usually do not change it. Can I use the app of course but I found that I don’t need it. Thanks for watching and your great comment.

Yes sir I always assist my husband any kind of work lol

Glad the video could be of help to you. It is a bit of a challenge learning to live together with each other. My wife speaks English, but does not understand some of the subtle nuances that comes with growing up in a language. There is a lot of repeating as we often don’t understand each other but are working together to overcome this slight problem. We live in North Carolina and my southern English accent, sometimes is difficult for her to understand along with her Filipino English accent the same is true of me. We were four years with our long distance relationship. Covid drastically slowed down the process. My wife has been in the country now a year this month and she is enjoying her time. It is a sacrifice on both accounts, but it is all worth it in the end. I thought with being in a long distance relationship over the phone for four years would have prepared us for marriage and living together and I guess to some extent it did. But I have found that it’s just like a new relationship all over again because living on the phone is one thing and living in person is entirely something different. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. We love each other deeply. I hope you and your fiancé find similar love and happiness in your relationship. How long have you known one another?

@@RizandMe We have been in a LDR too, pre-covid. So, once Covid lifted in the Philippines... I was able to visit in 4/2023. We spent a month together in a Condo in Cebu City. But we travelled to Baytanyan Island and Boracay. In Boracay is where i pop the question, if she want to come to America. She was excited and surprised I asked her. As soon as I got back to America, I started the K1 visa application. Yes, I tackle that myself took me 2 months to gather all the for me and her's. It was time staking getting her info. July 2024, K1 visa got approved. She did the medical at St. Lukes and US Embassy interview. She passed with flying colors and got her passport sent to her house. So, she'll be arriving on 9/23/24. So, we have been LDR for about 5 yrs, will tie the knot in 90days after arrival....lol. As far with language I was born and raised in NYC, so don't really have an accent. She's able to understand and comprehend when I speak. :)

Wow we are glad for you and the 23rd will be here before you know it. The only advice we have is be patient. Living in LDR was one thing but living together everyday was like being in a brand new relationship. Please keep us updated on your journey and congratulations 🎊

@@RizandMe Thank you... yes even though we spent a month together in Cebu City and travelled. We still need to know each other living together. Yes, we'll keep you updated. BTW, have your wife met any filipinos friends there in NC? My fiance while she was in the US Embassy in Manila she notice a few are going to NC. I think there's more filipinos in NC then SC.

Yes, there are actually more here than we thought. I was very impressed on how they can pick out one another in a store lol. But once again, congratulations also, we travel to South Carolina at least once a year to Myrtle Beach or the surrounding area so who knows maybe we’ll run into you down there.

Thank you so much for subscribing and watching. And hello Neighbor .

Hello thank you sir

Thank you bro I wish I felt younger than 60

Hello sir John thank you for sharing your comment yes your right,you cannot buy a land in the Philippines unless you are married to a Filipina,Sir did you bring your girlfriend with you here?We are leaving here in Nc.

@@RizandMe . She came here for 5 years and wanted to go back home . It was heart breaking for me to lose her, but the love over in the Philippines is completely different than here . I send money to help her and the family monthly.. Philippines is full of beautiful people who have very little, here the people don't appreciate what they have , it's never enough .

@user-ge7rc4od9m it’s me bro I totally agree with your assessment ,I’m sorry to heard that she needs to move back and y’all apart do you have plan to be back together in some point?

@@RizandMe I think meeting someone special and meaningful in a completely different culture that is full of great loving kind people was a adjustment for me coming from the United States. How can people be so loving and caring and have very little?? I love the Philippines culture and the way of life . I'll keep helping her and her family out of respect to her mom and dad. They are poor . As for Mia and I, she has moved on a Hopefully met someone special and meaningful as we were . She will always have a special place in my heart forever .

It’s me Riza you are very generous sir and yes it’s very a special feeling when you see the smile of our family though we are poor but we are rich of love ,sometimes when I heard a bad words from other people it’s sad and feeling like I wanna go home lol ,I always talk to my husband how a Filipino family is culture and how we race from our parents ,The unique is when both culture is blend together respect and understanding must and most specially talk nicely hope y’all Mia and specially you sir will find the right one remember find the good heart not the outside beauty only very important look at her eyes the way she talk then you can tell she’s telling truth ❤️

Sir it’s really hard for me and yes I am 38 years old now thank you 🙏 it’s difficult I’m away since I was 18 years old I work abroad work in already,my mom and dad both passed away sick really hard to get over I leggy my son 5 years already and it’s because of the pandemic I never get back home to Philippines yet and now I’m here in America I have to wait for my paperwork work again I cannot leave the country I miss them so much .Soon me and my husband planning to go for vacation hopefully next year 🙏you too take care

@@RizandMe . My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sorry 🙏 for you mom and dad .. Take care of yourself and your family. I'm 60 now . The health care is terrible over there, I hope to return again next year. The country side is beautiful with loving people. Manila and Cebu not so much . Very different cultures.

@user-ge7rc4od9m thank you sir your age is same with my husband and our plan is not change to retire in the island living in the simple life with the loving people though not all but it’s our choice ,remember to choose always to be happy and peace this is a very important decision that you will going to make

Thank you so much for asking . Mainly we will talk about life in the Philippines, China and Dubai. I have lived in all three countries. Also cooking and traveling. We hope you subscribe and continue to watch 😊

@@orinmangar2333 it’s me sir Riza thank you 🙏 for watching the video ,Well I checked the kitchen ,The oil I used was extra virgin oil ,Yes true ,avocado oil has a smoke point. And remember avocado oil also can used for frying, avocado oil is also praised for its health benefits, as it contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants it’s very good on salad I agree I’m sure you are very good cook sir thank you so much for sharing your thoughts have a nice day.
