Whats important is that your family is happy, despite of bumps and obstacles and things that is out of our control. You choose to move forward and live the life happiness and fulfilment.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

That’s the absolute truth my friend. Everyone in life is searching for happiness but sometimes it’s right in front of us in the form of family. Can never have another mother, father, brother, sister, husband, wife etc. we moved to spend more time together and to live a more productive life and help people however we can along the way 😊

[@homebasebelgium359]

Because of the time difference, it can be quite interesting working on-line for clients in your own country. I once did it when I was still married and staying in our house in Luna for 6 weeks (the longest I ever stayed in the Philippines). One of the clients of my copywriting business had asked if I could continue working for them during my vacation. I said yes, because they were one of my best clients and I didn't want to loose them. And guess what: due to the time difference, I could serve them faster than I could when I was working at my desk 7km from their office. They would send me the assignment before leaving the office late afternoon, which is night in the Philippines. First thing in the morning I would get the work done and send it back to them before they arrived at the office. They were pretty happy with that overnight service!

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

That’s very true Paul my friend. Online work is very possible and the time difference does have some advantages or disadvantages. Most employers now are generally towards remote working and as long as direct customer contact isn’t needed then the time difference isn’t a concern. Take care my friend 😊

Lumipat din po kami ng pinas after 11 years sa Slovenia 🇸🇮 kasama din po ang aming dalawang aso. 8 months palang po kami dito sa Iloilo. Sana balang araw mag kita po tayong lahat. Gusto ko din ma meet si Mingming 😺 Sana maging ok na ang pakiramdam ni ate Jane para makaligo na ng dagat ❤

Salamat my friend. We hope to meet too one day. Have a great day and god bless you 😊

Living in Wisconsin had 3 lightning strikes just outside the house, a very loud “crack” and a tree was split in half, one side fell and the strike left a 2 foot hole in the ground, one split a large branch off a willow, another hit a junction box on a power pole setting it afire…so…Jane is right, the sound of the sea is very relaxing, prayers for her..thx for the vids 🙏🏻🕊🇹🇭🇵🇭

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

That’s scary my friend. In the UK thunder and lightning tends to be pretty mild but other countries do get it so much stronger it seems. A big adjustment for me but maybe not everyone. Taking Jane to the sea was great for both of us. It helped. We have a long way to get get back to “normal” but won’t stop trying. God bless you 😊

[@pechaychemo]

She needs to cook beef liver, drink fresh egg yolk with boiled milk(must boiled milk first and pour into the mug then add egg yolk), and spinach, her blood pressure will get better. Once her blood pressure goes well, she can eat those as moderately. Take care and God bless your family always ❤

Hi Adam and Jane I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I’m also a Filipina from Cebu living in Massachusetts, USA. I like watching your vlog because it’s all about real life and all very positive and informative. I love watching Jane doing gardening . I hope Jane will find solutions to her medical problem. God bless you both and your beautiful daughter Isabella.

That’s awesome my friend 😊

Great video… thanks for sharing your experiences… always a grateful and happy one 👏🏻👏🏻

You had an advanced good plan and all you said are very mucj correct👍👍and praying for Jane's wellness in health.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you my friend. It’s never quick or easy to move to another country. It can be done though 😊

[@JToddJeep]

Kumista Adam and Jane! Thank you for passing along your knowledge to others. It's one of the most unselfish things that we can do for others. Jane is such a trooper! Like my Filipina Emy, Jane is bearing up under adversity very well. Truly amazing. Emy and I include you both in our prayers from time to time. Drink plenty of water before meals, eat smaller meals, fewer carbs and rest for an hour after meals to mitigate your condition. Cheers you two!

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thanks guys. It’s important to share as any knowledge can be useful. It’s hopefully motivation or encouragement for others but the truth is it is hard to move. It’s not impossible though and if we could do it then anyone can. God bless you both 😊

[@georgec2894]

Thanks for the insights, Adam and Jane. Fairly recent subscriber, but I’ve been binge watching many of your old videos (even back to the ride on the scaled-down train back in the UK!) I’m part of a British-Filipina couple, with future plans to perhaps move out there in a few years.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you so much my friend. That’s awesome. The move absolutely can be done with a lot of planning and preparation. If you know exactly where you want to live and everything it makes it so much easier to prepare for 😊

[@BerndSpindler]

Thank you from Chicago. Stay save and GOD bless.

Well said. Medical fact: showering or swimming in cold water increases your blood pressure by constricting your blood vessels. Avoid hot showers if u have low blood pressure and make sure u drink 8 glasses of water a day. You have to keep hydrated.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you my friend. I didn’t know that and thought it was the reverse. Will need to try lowering shower temperature. God bless you 😊

[@Hybridflip-eg5hg]

Hi Adam and Jane. It’s been awhile since I’ve watched any vlogs on the Philippines. I’ve been here 3 months now and currently staying in Makati. If you come this way, would like to take you guys out for a few drinks and dinner. I hope Jane gets better soon and you guys find the solution to her health issue. Happy Palm Sunday and GOD Bless!

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you my friend. We will be there in May this year most likely. Hope everything is going well and you are having a great time. Would love to meet up. Take care my friend 😊

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you my friend 😊

[@jcrew6190]

Also, Jane, get ur blood work done and check ur hemoglobin and hematocrit level. Maybe u need an iron supplement. Low iron causes dizziness and low blood pressure. So impt to hydrate.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

We did both in the UK and Philippines my friend but both came back ok. Jane takes iron supplements which can help. Thank you 😊

[@mywildflower-theadventures313]

Hello I just subscribed, I’m originally from Samar, Philippines. I know exactly where you guys are, I’m watching from America. I’m praying for Jane. ❤🙏

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you so much my friend. It means a lot to us. God bless you 😊

[@charlesweatherly3586]

Well said Adam you can only share so much private information. Just remember to not delay Janes Medical for any reason. It will only progress and not in the way you might expect. You both are young people with your whole life ahead but your joy will not be really realized if your collective health is not properly managed and supported. I understand that what I am saying is not new to you, however to reiterate what I said above Time does not wait for anyone so "Make Hay while the Sun Shines" do not let the best years of your life pass you by with a lot of regret. Best wishes for a positive Medical outcome. I will bet you know have also heard that Old saying . So it's a must that you get the answers you both need.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you so much sir and you are right. Jane’s health is top priority and we will do everything possible. God bless you 😊

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

We will thank you my friend. We will keep journals and diaries. Hopefully we can find a solution quickly. God bless you 😊

[@abritishexpatinthephilippines]

Being British we are maybe a little private, especially about money...but people could benefit from understanding just how a young family can support themselves here in retirement at such a young age...maybe property incomes or the benefits of inheritance, maybe try to give examples on how to plan before your both retirement age..🤗🤔

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Maybe my friend but then you go into the realms of financial advice which, as qualified, I cannot give without following proper procedures. We have no inheritance. Hard work, sacrifice and planning. It’s not easy but as long as you plan for long enough and have enough savings, investments or passive income then it can be done 😊

[@abritishexpatinthephilippines]

Thank you Adam maybe we need to add that to the content of my channel, as many find it hard to show as an example the complexity of savings planning and investment

[@teddedios991]

You planned it well guys,if you can drive in the Philippines you can drive anywhere😊😊😊

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you my friend. It’s quite easy to drive in the Philippines and quite fun too as the beautiful scenery is everywhere 😊

Great video guys ❤ thanks for answering those questions. We created our channel for similar reasons so our friends and family can follow our story. Also I love that you guys are such a positive channel. There is enough negativity in the world it’s nice to have positive content in our lives.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you so much guys 😊 it’s easy to see negativity such as just watching the news or going shopping for groceries at the moment but in all honesty we hope to bring some entertainment, relaxation, humour, information or anything useful to people.

Maayong hapon bai adam

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Maayong hapon my friend 😊

[@thecosmicsnail]

Nice video. Good for you and the solidarity diet with Jane. We are all pulling for her. My biggest negatives in the Philippines are: 1. Pollution...trash on the beaches and very little trash pickup. 2. Pointless bureaucracy and so many steps for the easiest tasks. 3. Corruption in government...well, that's everywhere in the World. Things I love: 1. The people!! Kind, decent, hardworking people. 2. English understood by a majority of people. 3. Tropical paradise with many things to do at a slower pace.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thanks mate. She really isn’t well. It’s on and off but far more frequent than usual. We will get through it 😊 Agree with both lists for the most part. Ups and downs but the nature, way of life and people here make it so rewarding to live here. God bless you my friend 😊

Hi Adam and Jane. Low bp is worse than high bp. Jane looks really well considering illness. Adam, defo 007 in sea. When I was in Biliran islands last year. Stress free and food and water drop my bp, able to leave off pills. Water was also good for skin condition. Thou sun my problem ex ginger. Bathed in river from mountain, very cold. Tacloban have some good clinics for testing, food and drinks. You both looking good but please get Jane checked. Also don,t do bp tests to often, thats also bad for you. Wish you all the best.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you so much my friend for your advice. It’s true low is more dangerous and harder to treat than high blood pressure. We will get some tests done and make adaptations to lifestyle and diet where possible to try to bring it back to a normal range. God bless you 😊

[@stevew3196]

Ok ADAM I'm there for you. Next thunderstorm pur in ear plugs a crash helmet and blindfold and hide under the bed😉 I love a good thunder storm I'll see how I cope in the Philippines. Your mention of thunderstorms takes me back to the 70's my mum and me on the house dad on nights mum wasn't a fan of storms. We were cuddling on the couch I'd be about 11. A frantic knock at the front door and it's a neighbour from over the road who was alone in the house. Her husband and son were on a fishing trip. She was almost hysterical I spent almost 2 hours sandwiched between them on the couch. Our neighbour was (how can I put it) a lady of generous proportions no stranger to a Yorkshire Pudding or Jam Rolly Polly! They were traumatised by the storm. Me by the thought of suffication! I agree research and planning is essential and it seems your efforts and commitment are proving worthwhile. It's so unfortunate that Jane's health condition restricts you. I sincerely hope she gets a diagnosis soon. Your lifestyle looks appealing the house and garden idyllic except for the storms and occasional slithery visitor! Growing your own vegetables is not only cheaper it's fresher. You decide what and how to grow vegetables & fruit. Organic produce if that's your preference. The effort provides exercise, tranquility, and the best nutrition. Really enjoy your vlogs. Thanks!😊

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you so much for your kind words and memories my friend. Just thinking back to time of past bring so many emotions. It’s so good to share stories and times. God bless you 😊

[@seanyenglish4264]

One of the saddest things I’ve seen in the Philippines 🇵🇭 is: Celebrities are worshiped so much there and very followed people in the world. They should be promoting healthy living especially has diabetes and high blood pressure is very high in the Philippines. The same Philippines should be promoted heavily there which is not done there

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

We agree my friend that more should and can be done to promote healthy eating, exercise and lifestyle for all ages. It’s a problem all around the world and needs good, positive role models 🙏

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you my friend. We will look into it 😊

[@dansretirementjourneyphili6794]

Yes. It could be related to diabetes, which is so very common in the Philippines.

[@americanandpinay]

@@dansretirementjourneyphili6794 I was thinking it was sugar at first too, and it still could be, by their descriptions, but she had labs at some point and sugar would have jumped out. Unfortunately, her symptoms cover a wide range of possible disorders. My Filipina took up gerd last month. Never had a fever in her whole life that she remembers, so when she felt the gerd she thought it was a heart attack and heart problems and now she has worked herself into being scared of leaving the house. So I am going through it too.

[@mikecool3378]

You could explain better

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Explain what better my friend? Everyone’s situation and needs are different. If you want to move to another country you need to work out how much money you’d need, how much savings, income etc. you can start by working out a monthly budget and there are lots of vlogs detailing all different budgets based on lifestyle, location and family size. In terms of how to make money you can re-watch where we mention jobs, passive income from business or property rental, online work etc. no one on KZbin can possibly give you an exact answer to how much money you need or earn to move to the Philippines. There is no magic solution. If you can work out how much money you need a month and how much income you can get or have then it’s easier to calculate. What 1 person earns or spends isn’t helpful to anyone else. No 2 situations are the same.
